A TRAITOR OR IS IT?
Chapter 24Camyre:It's been a week or so, and we had been travelling for miles. I always knew the capital was a distance away, so I wasn't that bothered; it gave me a little time to think about what was to come.Was I truly going to be executed? On the basis that I chanced on these strange powers, and now I was declared an imposter, a traitor to the crown. An heir? Subconsciously, I touched the orb lodged into my chest; sometimes I forget that it's there, like it has become one with me.It didn't jolt loads of electricity like it did the first time; however, the energy within it was soft, like a gentle tide crashing against the seaside.The orb was the reason for my powers, and it seems like a fleeting memory since I got them.Llerona halted the group and announced that we would be camping in the woods tonight. We had exited the last village not quite long ago, and so we did not have much of a choice.I couldn't help but stare at her as she climbed down from her white horse, her mov
THE COAST OF GOOD INTENTIONS
CHAPTER 23Camyre: The energy stirred gently about my arm as I lowered myself to one knee, pressing my hands into the muddied earth. I let the magic course through me, down into the soil. In the blink of an eye, the plants began to bloom, sprouting back to life with verdant force. There came a few gasps and murmurs of awe behind me, perhaps even a shout of praise or two, but I paid them no mind. My focus remained on the flow of magic.I could scarcely believe I was managing such a feat. The energy continued to spread, restoring life to all it touched. Yet with every inch it covered, I felt myself grow weaker—my limbs heavy, my vision hazy. Fatigue pulled at my muscles, and my breaths grew shallow.Still, I pressed on a little longer, until at last I was forced to pause. The village chiefs burst into applause, their smiles wide and gleaming with gratitude as they beheld their fields reborn. “I’m happy to be of service,” I murmured, my smile firm despite the weight dragging at my bones
BY DOUBT AND POWER
CHAPTER 22Camyre: The child had run back to the hut, and I didn't know what that meant for me. I was more concerned about the energy that flowed around me and the newly sprouted plants that seemed to blossom with life. It was really cool to weave within my fingers, like soft fairy dust.I tried once again, but it didn't seem to work; the energy died down and the golden aether in the air disappeared. I tried bringing it back, but it didn't respond. It was like it surrounded me, and I still couldn't reach it; every time I tried, I always evaded my touch. I frowned at this development.Footsteps trudging through the mud brought my attention back; I glanced behind me to find the little boy as well as his father and mother and my captors just behind them. Appearing to be pissed, ‘I thought I told you to stay in the shed.’“I couldn't sleep and thought about taking a walk; okay, it's not that big of a deal,” I tried to defend and showed them what I had figured out when Lleronaa rushed me
MAGE’s TOUCH
Chapter 21.Camyre:The baker rounded off his tent, apologising to the villagers as Llerona requested his assistance. We walked a mile after and arrived at his house.I couldn’t help but notice the change in the village—children barely played outside, subtle quarrels and tension among the villagers, and a heavy air that weighed down everything.“If it’s only been a few days, how come they look so…..”I didn’t know the right words to use, but Rodryce answered at once, “Famine, in a land where even the smallest number matters, is disastrous. It’s not merely about hunger—it stirs up the selfish greed of men, the urge to save what’s yours and hoard even more,” he explained.We were just about to step into the baker’s hut when Llerona’s general, Halrix, stopped us with a chuckle. “You’re prisoners, or do you need reminding?” The guards kept us waiting outside the hut.I couldn’t shake the urge to know what was truly going on inside—what they were discussing, and what had really happened to
ROT BENEATH THE SURFACE
Chapter 20Camyre:Llerona and her general had lost half their men. They had returned to the forest, despite my protest, but found no trace of the fallen—no bodies, no blood, not even a scrap of clothing. Whatever that creature had been, it hadn’t left behind a single clue. Quietly, they erected headstones and observed a solemn moment of silence.Though I hadn’t known the fallen, guilt settled heavily on my chest. I stood beside them nonetheless, honouring those they had lost.Once a brief speech was made, they packed their things, and we prepared to set out for the capital city of Arcanis.“Eh, eh, eh—you’ve got to be joking,” I groaned, catching sight of Llerona conjuring another pair of rune shackles, ready to clamp them onto me once again.“After *that*, you still think we need to be in binds?” I asked, incredulous.Her expression remained stone-cold. “If we reach the village before nightfall, we won’t see those creatures again. And I still don’t trust you not to run,” she said fl
THE BLIND AND THE BOUND
Chapter 19Camyre:I had been saved by Llerona—but who was going to save her?“You need to get these shackles off,” I urged, breathless. “We can fight together, whatever that thing is.” My voice shook slightly, but her focus remained elsewhere—on the forest, on the place it had vanished.She didn’t reply. Her jaw was set, her eyes narrowing at the tree line.And then—it came again.“Watch out!” I shouted, lunging forward. My body collided with hers, sending us both to the ground just as the cloaked figure tore through the air where she had been standing an inch away.I landed on top of her, gasping. “Why did you just stand there?” I asked, alarmed. “It was coming straight for you—”Without a word, Llerona shoved me off. Her touch was rough, but not cruel.She rose quickly, scanning the forest once more. Her voice—cold and level—broke the silence. “What was it?”I blinked at her. “Didn’t you see it? It was right—” I trailed off.The look on her face was not one of fear or defiance, but
