Truth or Revenge
Night had long fallen over Noctharis.The palace gardens were unusually quiet.A cool breeze drifted through the trees, carrying the scent of blooming flowers across the moonlit courtyard the air refreshing and somehow comforting for Scott as he stood alone beneath a stone pavilion, staring at the silver moon reflected in the pond before him.His thoughts refused to settle.Everything King Aurelius had revealed earlier continued to echo inside his mind.The Dragon King's bloodline...My mother wasn't an ordinary slave.She was chosen as a vessel...Scott slowly clenched his fists.His nails dug into his palms.Part of him wanted revenge.Every time he remembered the fate of the Dragon King's family, anger rose inside his chest like an uncontrollable fire.Entire bloodlines had been wiped out.Children had been hunted.Pregnant women had been forced to flee while carrying lives that powerful kingdoms feared.And somehow...He had survived.Scott took a slow breath."But why my mother?"
No Turning Back
Later that afternoon...The room remained unusually quiet.Daniel sat against the headboard while Mr. Zen and Elizabeth rested nearby.The sound of footsteps echoed outside.Click.The door slowly opened.Sarah stepped inside.Unlike before, she no longer looked relaxed.One hand held a small wooden bowl filled with freshly prepared herbal medicine.The other rested firmly on the hilt of the sword hanging at her waist.Her eyes carefully moved between Daniel, Mr. Zen, and Elizabeth.It was clear she wasn't taking any chances.Daniel glanced at her once before turning his face away.His expression became cold.Sarah noticed immediately.She quietly walked over and placed the bowl on the small table beside the bed."I brought your medicine."Daniel remained silent."You should drink it while it's still warm."Still...Nothing.Sarah lowered her eyes."I know you're angry."Daniel finally spoke."Angry?"He let out a quiet laugh."I trusted you.""I thought you saved me."He slowly looke
The Family Reunion
"Raya!"The name escaped Daniel's lips before he even realized he had spoken.His eyes widened."I left her...""I left her with those hunters."Panic quickly replaced the confusion on his face."No..."He threw the blanket aside and struggled to climb out of bed."I have to find her.""I have to go back."His legs barely touched the floor before they gave way beneath him.Sarah rushed forward and caught him before he could collapse."Easy!"She wrapped one arm around his shoulder to steady him."You're in no condition to save anyone."Daniel tried to pull away."You don't understand.""She's out there alone.""She could be hurt."Sarah gently pushed him back onto the bed."And if you run out there like this?"She folded her arms."You'll only give whoever's chasing you another prisoner."Daniel clenched his fists."I can't just sit here.""You'll have to."Sarah's voice softened."For now."Silence settled between them.After a while, Sarah smiled."You know...""We've been talking a
The Hunter's Trump Card
Daniel gripped his aching head.The scattered pieces of his memory slowly began falling back into place."I remember..."His breathing grew heavier.After failing to find Raya's mother at the auction grounds, the two of them had left Dreadmoor to reunite with the others.At first...Everything seemed normal.The streets were crowded with merchants, travelers, and wandering adventurers as everyone was busy doing one business or the other.Then Daniel noticed it.People were staring.Not one...Not two...Almost everyone they passed would glance at them before quietly whispering to someone nearby.Raya felt it too.She leaned closer without turning her head."Daniel...""Are they looking at us?"Daniel forced a smile."No..."He paused."...they're definitely looking at us."Raya sighed."I was hoping you'd say I was imagining it."Daniel scratched the back of his head."I wish I could."A man suddenly pointed in their direction."There they are!"Another voice shouted,"They are the on
Fragments of Memory
The wooden door swung open and four men stepped into the hut one after another each person presence looking intimidating than the other.The first was a broad-shouldered man with a thick brown beard that reached his chest. A massive battle axe rested across his back, and a long scar ran from his forehead to his jaw. His sharp eyes instantly took in every corner of the room.Beside him walked a lean man dressed in dark leather armor. Two curved daggers hung at his waist, and he wore a permanent grin that made him look more like a gambler than a hunter.The third was tall and heavily built. His bald head reflected the morning light pouring through the broken roof, while a giant war hammer rested on one shoulder as if it weighed nothing.The last man entered with slow, confident steps.He wore a long black coat trimmed with silver fur. His short silver hair was neatly combed back, and a thin beard framed his jaw. Unlike the others, he carried no visible weapon.Yet the moment he entered.
Caught in the Snare
By the time the rain finally stopped, the sky had begun to brighten with the first signs of dawn and they knew they must live before other hunters joined them.Jessica and Raya quietly rose to their feet.It was time to leave Grimveil.They took one last look at the four sleeping hunters scattered around the abandoned building.Raya hesitated."Are we really going to leave them like this?"Jessica blinked."Why?"Raya glanced at the unconscious men."I don't know...""It just feels a little... cruel."Jessica stared at her for a moment before letting out a helpless sigh."So...""You want me to wake them up?"Raya looked at her.Jessica folded her arms."Then they can happily escort us to King Ricard.""Maybe they'll even ask us to walk slowly so we don't get tired on the way."Raya quickly shook her head."No, thank you.""That's what I thought."Jessica smirked."Then lets leave them to enjoy their dreams.""They've probably never slept this peacefully in years."Raya couldn't help
