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
THE FOREST TAKES THEM
CHAPTER 18Camyre:The wind bellowed softly, stirring the trees within the forest. No one dared move, as if uncertain whether they’d truly heard the sound echoing from deep within the shadows. There was hesitation among the group—glances exchanged in wary silence—and Rodryce and I were no different.“What the hell was that?” Rodryce muttered, eyes fixed on the treeline, as though he might somehow draw a figure out of the dark with sheer focus. The sudden tremor that shook the ground beneath us had certainly unsettled me—but it wasn’t what troubled me most. It was the pain, sharp and growing, in my chest.Instinctively, I tugged at my clothes, fingers scrambling with urgency. What I saw stole the breath from my lungs.An orb—embedded partway into my chest. Lodged in the flesh as though it belonged there.“What the hell…?” I whispered.Rodryce turned, eyes widening as he took in the sight. For a moment, we simply stared at each other, both equally stunned.“Whatever Edna meant to do,” I
THE WHITE LIGHTS AFTERMATH
Chapter 17Camyre’s pov.We were hauled by horses along the dirt road, and thereafter forced to walk, our hands remained bound by the enchanted shackles and held by the guards as they pulled us along. It seemed Rodryce knew what they were, as he didn't bother to fight with them.I endeavored to speak with Rodryce, yet was met with naught but a disgruntled murmur in reply; he appeared far too frail even to stand, let alone walk. “Oi, at least let him rest small, he doesn't look too good,” I yelled at them and was completely ignored.“If this carries on, we may not even reach the capital—let alone the Imperial Palace,” I reasoned with them, though silence met my plea once more. Still, I pressed on. “If you will not aid him, then at the very least, give him some water.”I merely wished that none should perish on my account. The image of Edna—screaming, bloodied—remained etched in my mind, cruel and vivid.The guards let out a low, mocking chuckle. “And what makes you think we care if he
TREASON NEVER TO BE COMMITED
Chapter 16Camyre's POV.I groaned in despair, feeling the weakness in my bones; my eyes felt too heavy for them to open, and my hands too heavy to lift. Everywhere hurt so much.It felt as though a tiny man had gained entry into my head and banged on with its hammer.I managed to get my eyes to open slowly; beams of light shot at me from the window, almost blinding me. Once again, a groan emanates from me as I sit up right on the hay.Hay?They poked my skin with every move I made.Glancing around the surroundings to find I was in a stable devoid of any horses, I thought, “What the bullock happened?” I was in a turmoil, running my hands through my locks in an attempt to recall the events that had landed me here when it all came rushing back to me.Groaning even louder from the intense pain as the images flashed through my mind.My breath hitched as memories came crashing down on me and I fell back down on the thatched horse feed.The light.The woman with white hair.Edna’s screams a
