Reynolds watched as the man approached the sun sphere. The rest of the guards looked at him with uncertainty, and some of them thought that he would perhaps drag the man back as soon as the man was getting too close to the sphere. But Reynolds did no such thing. He just kept watching, and the man kept walking.Collin who had seen what was happening rushed towards Reynolds. He could see the intent on Reynolds'face and he knew that whenever his brother was like that, nothing could change his mind when he had decided on something. But Collin knew that something terrible might happen to the man if he was not stopped."You have to stop this. He is going to get himself killed."Collin said to Reynold who did not give him a response. He just kept watching as the man trudged towards the sphere.Collin sighed and tried to make a move but Reynolds held him back."What are you doing? We have to stop him!" Collin cried out but Reynolds did not let him go."We have to teach a lesson here. So you w

Vera watched as Reynolds slept calmly on the bed. She could observe the way his chest heaved up and down, and she had never been any more grateful than she was at that moment. Who knows what could have happened if he hadn't saved her? Vera tried her best not to think about the possibility, but the more she tried, the more the possibility filled her mind. It would have been her, lying on that bed, wounded, or possibly even worse. She would have been dead, lying outside with the other corpses, waiting to be buried. She shuddered and shook her head in an attempt to free her mind from the horrid reality.Reynolds took a deep breath. Vera glanced at him and actually got to appreciate how good-looking he was. They had met a few times in the palace whenever he would accompany Alastair to the palace, and if she was on duty. They never spoke, although, she had always been quite fascinated by him. Being there with him, so close to him, she could feel a lot of things-gratitude, sorrow, determi

The Northerners camped outside the sphere as Corvius kept himself locked inside his ice palace. The Northerners were already getting quite antsy, but they knew what sort of man Corvius was. They knew that he would not hesitate to cut them down if they met him at the wrong time. So none of them tried to make any moves. And at the same time, they actually expected the generals to do something.The generals on the other hand were as confused as the rest of the people, and Korah was especially antsy. She could be seen walking around, her sword clashing with her shield as she bounced with such Grace and splendor. She was terrific to look at, and all other northerners knew she was probably the toughest of the generals.Korah heaved again. Leif, the third general was nowhere to be found and Obaro was there somewhere but he was busy arranging or commanding the troops. She wanted to speak to someone, and the fact that there was no one for her to talk to made her even more crazy.She groaned an

"Where is this place?"Asmodeus asked Corvius as they stepped through the wall. The wall was not what Asmodeus had expected. He thought he would be enveloped in something pungent, but to him, it was a simple wall of smoke. He was not even sure if he was actually on earth, for the weird feeling he was having was still lingering."This is the northern kingdom. A people banished from society centuries ago. This is our home, our fortress. This is a place that no human ought to visit. Or a demon."Corvius added slowly and gazed at Asmodeus."Then, how am I here?" Asmodeus asked."I brought you here.""With your magic? How is that possible? You cannot achieve something like that. And how do you have a dragon?"Asmodeus asked. It felt so terrible that he did not have the answers he sought. He had to depend on a stranger for clues. But he looked at Corvius. The king was quite naive, and that was something he was ready to capitalize on."I have the ability to absorb magic. But it has its limit

Cara was not so sure she should tell Miranda what she was about to say. She knew that eventually, Alastair would tell her but she wanted to get a head start. She did not want Alastair to go. She wanted Alastair to remain in Elderien. She was scared, and if there was anyone who could change Alastair's mind, it was Miranda-his queen, the love of his life, and the woman he was going to marry."What is it, Cara? What's wrong?" Miranda asked Cara whose breath shuddered. She did not know what sort of repercussions it would have, but maybe it won't have any. maybe things will just return to how it was.Besides, the cat was definitely going to shove out of the bag eventually. It was only a matter of time."Alastair is about to embark on a very dangerous journey, and I do not want him to go because it is too unstable and it could take his life. He does not want to listen to me. I thought perhaps you could convince him to stay."Cara said to Miranda, and as expected, she saw a frown on Miranda'
