Chapter Twenty-Two: A Forest Engulfed in Flames
"Any and all property owned by a Slave belongs to the Slave's Owner"Ezra battled her way to the alure where a line of venavores crowded behind the parapet, their glowing eyes of varying colors locked skyward. Dragons circled overhead, their breath lighting up the night and swallowing the courtyard, towers, and battlements in wild fire. Her gaze swept over the frenzied anguish and destruction which littered the palace grounds, and she imagined this must be what the third tier of Barhollow looks like.Ezra observed Jedidiah at the parapet, motionless as stone, his face lit by the flare of dragonfire. She hesitated, unsure if she risked something catastrophic by interrupting him. His eyes blazed
Chapter Twenty-One: They're Attacking Early
"Branded Slaves may not participate in the Annual Slave Arena. All Slave entering the arena will be subject to a full-bodied examination for brands."Zafirô 28 marked the Winter Solstice, which was a day of joy and feasting for most. But at Bloodrose Villa, the mood held a different note. For Ivanna and Polaris, who were using the holiday to make up for Fil Ma Bria, it was a redemptive celebration. True to her word, Ivanna spent the entire day practicing a vow of silence. Instead of eating, she spent each meal meditating in her chapel. A single flame flickered beside the statuette of the fairy Saint Adara, its warm light casting a soft halo on her tranquil face as Ivanna knelt in deep silence before her altar. All the while, her servants prep
Chapter Twenty: Geyser Bay
"Participants in the ASA are prohibited from using bows and arrows in the Arena."The Rogue Assassins split without a word, slipping into the city like shadows breaking apart. They'd done this before, but the tension tonight coiled tighter. Gideon headed for the docks, his steps silent as the tide. Ezra moved down a main road, shoulders relaxed, face unreadable beneath her hood. Jedidiah disappeared into the maze of narrow alleys that snaked behind the shops and storerooms. Elion chose an unpredictable path, drifting between backstreets and well-lit roads, blending in and vanishing again.Under the pale gleam of the blue moon, a few townsfolk still lingered, some stumbling home from late shift
Chapter Nineteen: A Prophecy Narrowly Avoided
"Only melee weapons, bladed weapons, and natural skills are permitted to be used in the Arena."Rein streaked toward the Helvetican coastline like an arrow loosed too late, wind howling in her ears, her own thoughts louder still. How could she have forgotten that Nadia would've intended to watch the moonrise that night? Why hadn't she cautioned Nadia against going to the beach? Her prophetic dreams had been given to her for a reason, and she had been so neglectful to not only forget them, but to fail to realize that setting moons closely resembled orange moons!She pressed herself to fly faster, wings burning.What exactly did Rein plan to do once she arrived? She couldn't reason with Raynar. No one
Chapter Eighteen: The Well
"For a Slave to be freed by the Annual Slave Arena, hereafter referred to as the ASA, the Slave must tell its owner that it wishes to participate... If the Slave survives the arena, the proper paperwork must be turned in to the Association of Slave Owners, the Slave's identification confiscated and destroyed, and the Slave will be freed."While the Winter Solstice was yet a few weeks away, the winter storms had come early, sweeping much of the continent with steady snow. The unrelenting frost forced the people of Noelle into hurried preparations, throwing even the most carefully laid plans into disarray. While minor endeavors were postponed, larger ambitions froze entirely, none more significant than the war between the Noelle Emp
Chapter Seventeen: The Deal
"Upon purchasing a new Slave, the Association of Slave Owners must provide all documentation along with the Bill of Sale, before the Slave is to be handed over to the new Slave Owner."Aimonbay Estate held the air of the icy depths of a mausoleum. All heads turned to Polaris, the pure human known to be avidly against slavery, who stood on a chair offering an immensely expensive bid for one of the marquis's mermaids. His attention remained fixed on Sir Rallian, who almost appeared more shocked than his guests."I—I beg your pardon?""Five hundred thousand, my Lord," Polaris repeated. "For your redheaded mermaid."
