Camyre’s povIt was a normal day in the land of arcanis, a blissful and wonderful day as I liked to be optimistic about certain things. I was happy because why shouldn't I be?I had my family by my side which was all that mattered, although they weren't my family they had adopted me when I was just a child, picking me up from the orphanage and I had lived with them ever since.It was just me, Maxon and Sheryl, their children, Kolenor, who was the oldest, and their little twins, Avalon and Eleanor. They had treated me as though I was their child.Their love and care have been my constant in a world that seemed to spin on quietly, far from the grand dramas of Arcanis’s capital.My days are spent in the forge, shaping metal into useful tools and sturdy weapons. I must say that the work is demanding, but yet even with such stress applied, I find satisfaction in creating something useful from raw materials. This has been in my family through generations—The blacksmith’s craft. It runs in

Camyre’s POV:Pushing my way to the top, my hands were the first to come up the surface, struggling and pushing the upper half of my body up the surface of the pile of rubble, dusting myself off and taking a huge burst of air to feel my oxygen deprived lungs, dabbing at my eyes to remove the particles that had trickled within.After taking in huge gulps of air, I scanned the mine, or what it would have been if it was still standing. The area was deserted, devoid of any human life. Taking in deep breaths, frowning as I realized they had left us behind, abandoned us in the rubble.I groaned, wincing as I pulled the rest of my body free from the pile of rocks. Each movement ached, but I had no choice but to keep going, and finally, I came up free, my clothes were tattered and my lungs burned continuously.Dusting myself off, I trudged through heaps, deep within the first, it was dark, a crescent moon hung in the midnight sky, and the shadows in the forest were barely visible, but it had

Camyre’s POVHis word resonated in my head, ridiculous as it might sound, what other way would you explain him flying six feet away from me and colliding harshly against the wall?I was confused and dumbfounded just as they were as Ron continued, “How are you able to harness the power of the earth, only a royal can do such,” he questioned in disbelief.The royals were the only individuals who could harness the power of the earth as they had been blessed by god, this was given to them to protect the kingdom, "How in the devil's name was I able to do such a thing?"My breathing increased as I was not able to explain myself, I was beginning to feel dizzy as the world spun around me. The pearl came into sight, lying on the floor and being smudged by mud. Without hesitation, I reached for it with speed and held it close to my chest before stashing it in my pocket.Glancing around the field, they all gazed at me as though I had sprouted a second head, wipers passed between them and some of

Third person’s POVIn the grand hall of the royal keep, richly adorned with tapestries and the scent of fresh bread and meats, the reigning monarch sat in all his majesty. Beside him, the queen, regal and fair, with their three noble children seated in order. Around the heavy oak table, they gathered.Whereupon the morning’s feast was already laid by the hands of the maids, each one moving with haste under the stern eye of Lotana, the chief among them. After the final dish was placed, Lotana, with a sharp word and a nod, dismissed the maids, leaving herself to stand in waiting, as was her duty at every meal.Thus, the royal family dined, with all the grace and bearing befitting their station, while Lotana lingered, ever watchful for the slightest command.The royal family had but scarcely begun to partake of their morning repast when the great doors of the hall were flung open with such force that the clatter of a spoon striking a plate echoed through the chamber. King Alister, his b

Camrye’s POVShe refused to answer more questions as she pushed me out of the house after I had confirmed that she was a blind person, and was capable of running such a long journey, what a strange woman I had met, i didn't think much about it as my mind raced, the potential threat on my life for a reason I didn't even know about was eminent. Whoever these cysts were, I could tell they were powerful but I had never heard of them in the kingdom.Glancing back continuously, my heart pounded heavily against my chest, and sweat gathered on my forehead. I was already getting tired and for some reason, I knew they were behind me. I needed to put more distance between us.The sounds of horses drifted into my ear and I paused in my tracks glancing around to find the source of the sound, when I finally located the shed down the street, I ran over and pushed the door open, the horses neighed as they had been startled and I tried to calm them down but they aren't responding, going over to the ho
