CALLIBRA: THE CURSED EYE OF ARAK CHAPTER TWELVE
C A V E S O F E F L I E After Cicero told them to make their own choices and decide on whose side to be, the thought of what he said had never left Atticus’ mind. Iasias, Elvio, and Dalmatius were in Iasias' cave talking and laughing, and Atticus could see them through the entrance of the cave. Others were out looking for some fruits to gather for food, and others were lying and sleeping in their caves. Dominick and Atticus were the only ones outside, sitting below the shades of the huge tree in the midst of the caves to avoid the morning sun. “Does Iasias really have a plan for our people who are still in captivity, or his just a coward who is only trying to save his head?” Atticus thought to himself. Cicero asked them to join him on his way to Vocí if they ever wanted to go with him on a quest to save their people and free them from captivity. He wondered if he should be here or there with Cicero to save their people. Dominick had some special skills to mak

C A S T L E O F I V Á D I A Nika pushed the double wooden door inwards — opening an entrance into the ceremonial hall. Her bare feet left the warmth of the morning sun, which the sands on which she walked barefooted to this place had basked in. She was not allowed to put on foot wear as it was a compulsory part of the ritual. She took a few steps into the hall and her feet told her how cold the floor was. . . Her sisters resumed singing in the ancient dialect in which their spells were written. Everyone of them sang in a cold, slow, and high-pitched voice as she walked slowly—looking directly at the pool filled with vulture blood. Walking down the long straight path which passed through the centre of the hall, parting the people in the hall into two sides. Her sisters, who were standing on the region on the right side of the route — on her right, were dressed in red gown, and the ones on left were dressed in black gowns. She strolled down the entrance, which ran

CAVES OF EFLIE Iasias sat by the tree as he picked stones and cast them towards the cave which was opposite him—frustratingly. Cicero succeeded in convincing Atticus and 12 others to follow him, and now it's just four of them. He stoped throwing stones and he got up. “Now, what do we do?” he asked and all three of them remained quiet with obviously nothing to say as a reply. They were all as confused as he was—not knowing what to do next, or when to do it. “I don't know, I have no clue of what step we should take next” Domminick said and Dalmatius sighed. “We wait to see what happens after what they plan on doing,” Dalmatius said and Iasias nodded. “What ever it is we do next, I don't regret staying back here, and I hope everyone of you have the same mindset with me,” Iasias said as he tucked his hair behind his ear. “If only there's a way to bring down the cloak or get a witch on our side who can,” Elvio said and silence flooded their midst. “I really hope they don't

WILDERNESS OF THE EAST They were all still traveling along the wilderness which they had been living for so many years. Elena was leading them as she was the only one who knew the way out of the wilderness to the grasslands. “Wait!” Elena called to them and they all halt, bringing every movement to a stop all at once. “There’s something coming from behind us, some creature,” she said and they all looked backwards to be sure that whatever she was saying wasn't so close to us. “Mistress, what do you speak of?”Gastrus asked and she looked to him. “Its not close enough yet, my mind can't reach it,” she said back to him and he wondered what she was talking about. “Mistress—” he tried to speak and she shuts him up as she raises the index finger of her left hand. “Let me concentrate,” she intoned and he nodded. She closed her eyes and listened to what she alone was able to listen to. They could not hear what she was talking about and they also could not see it. Now, she was

REALM OF THE SPIRITS It was evening now, Nika had been in this realm since morning —seeking for the dwelling place of her sisters who had passed. She never thought it would be this difficult. “I won't be doing this if mother was still alive,” She mumbled as she kept walking through the bushes. After walking so long without taking a rest, her feet ached, and she felt like her legs could not carry her anymore. She leaned her back against a huge tree which was standing firm behind her and she pant uncontrollably as she found a moment to look at the scratch on her right foot. She saw that she might have stepped on something which injured her foot —slightly below her heel, and caused her to feel great pain. she slid her back on the tree until she sat on the grasses below the tree. she saw the cut was oozing out blood. Her eyes were closed as she covered the cut with her left hand, and whispered, “Brazias esgara!” The blue light which came from her eyes which were still closed found

TOWER OF VOCÍ It was night already, and Tamara was so tired from the several duties she was handling as her mother was gradually teaching her how to manage responsibilities when she passed. She took in a deep breath as she walked in through her door into her room. She lit up the lamp in her room and its light ridded her room of darkness. She sighed as she blew off the light on the touch, and ran her fingers through her hair as she walked down to her bed and sat. The only thought in her mind was how her bed would feel against her back when she finally lay on it. She got up again and pushed opened the window. The cold air of the night brushed against her face as she stared at the moon. "Something is not right," She whispered underneath her breath as her brows knitted. "What could possibly be going on," She whispered to herself again as she swept the air outside the window with her hand. "I should inform mother about this," She said to herself as she shut her window and ran out

TOWER OF IVÁDIA Nika gasped as she jolted up _ raising her upper body from underneath the pool of blood which flowed over her whole body and she breathed in the spirit which hovered over the pool. There was a great change in her whole body as she felt an extra unit of power entering into her body. She was coming out of a blood pool, but there was no stain of blood on her skin, it seemed like she came out of a pool of water rather than a pool of blood. She got up from the pool and stepped out of it, standing completely outside it. Her robe was still on the floor, so she picked it up and slid her hands into its sleeves and tied its ropes around her waist. Her eyes glared blue light which helped her walk her way to the door, as she was close to the door, her eyes changed color. It was now glowing a pale yellow light which broke down the wooden door the moment she looked to it. Her sisters were already assembling outside before the door, as there were all expecting her to come out
CALLIBRA: THE CURSED EYE OF ARAK CHAPTER NINETEEN
TOWER OF VOCÍ Tamara was still running and it seemed like her legs could not carry her anymore. Her sisters were screaming, running past her as they all were trying to escape the dragons who were obviously resisting their magic on them. She opened the inner gate of the castle and stood by the threshold and called her sisters to run into it. Everyone who was outside ran past her into the inner gate and she shut the gates. She fetched the sands before her feet, and threw it into the air above them. It cloaked them and the entire castle. “Is everyone alright, is anyone hurt?” Tamara asked her sisters as she tried to catch her breath. She turned to them and saw that they were all behind her, some were injured and some were unharmed. “Lucinda, your arm, it's bleeding. Try to heal yourself before you lose more blood than you've already lost,” Tamara said to Lucinda who was the only one sitting and leaning her back on the wall. “I, I can't heal myself. I don't know why, but it see

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR
C I R E N A Somewhere in the wild outskirt of Eflie, an isolated cave that rested far off the caves of Eflie was basking underneath the moonlight. A quiet night in an indeed lonely region. A place where humans dreaded to be. No one in his or her right senses would ever settle in a place beyond the grassland. It was an outrageous idea, and only one with a supernatural ability can think of such a space as a home.The witches. . .Only a witch, or one who have had an equivalent power in the past would have had such authority and guts to step into a region as deadly as this one. * * * *“Lydia!” “Sister, the time has come. The moon has taken the last turn. The very one we have been waiting for,” Dria shouted as her hand swept the piece of rag that was hanging over the entrance of the cave. It was thick enough to serve it's purpose, keeping out the intense cold that persisted. The voice of Dria shook Lydia from her sleep back to consciousness. She had been sleeping through

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE
IASIAS' POVI rush out of the falling castle with my hands tied to Nika’s. We pass the back door as Nika suggested and we arrive at the compound. Varia runs to us and hugs Nika. “I need to get my friends out of the dungeon,” I say to Nika, placing my hand on her cheek and she nods. Just before I take a step, she calls to me, “be careful!” And I nod with a grin. I reach the dungeon and I break through the metal door of the dungeon. The building is already falling apart, as crumbles of sands fall off the cracks on the wall. They are startled as they can't see who it is. I punch a hole into the ceiling and light floods the entire room. I'm half transformed, but they all recognize me.“How are you—” “How is this possible?” “How—”All three of them asks, shocked to see that I'm still a dragon, not even the type we last were, but a different species.“I will answers all your questions, I promise. First, we have to get out of here before it collapse,” I say to them and they completely

NIKA'S POVI'm sobbing, my life has been miserable ever since I got back to Livádia. The choices I made lead to Iasias being captured. I'm ashamed of myself for everything I have been part of, what I have believed in, what I have fought for. It all was backed by selfishness. I won't be able to live with myself if Iasias is executed. After considering everything, my eyes dart to the long, thick rope in my hand and I sigh. My eyes move slowly from the rope and I glance upwards to the ceiling, causing my eyes to meet the metal hock hanging out of my ceiling.

We three were locked in the same dungeon, and we still doesn't know anything about Iasias or his whereabouts. We heard he was going to be executed and then we heard nothing more. “What is going on out there?” I hear Domminick sat to Dalmatius.“I don't know. What do you think it might be?” Dalmatius asks Domminick and he sighs. We all c

ISLE OF AGAR The smell of alcohol is what brought me back to consciousness. I open my eyes and I smack my head to resist the headache. Sunlight smites my eyes and I quickly shield them from from its intensity. I try to get up but I can't, instead I roll down the tiny bed I found myself lying on. I groan as I drop heavily to the floor. I lie on my back and my eyes wander the whole room. It is small, there's a red carpet at its center, a rocking chair backing the wall opposite me, several cloaks hanging on an iron rod, a mahogany stool and a ragged curtain at its door. I manage to get up and I trudge towards the door cautiously. My hand sweeps the curtain and I step out of the room. There's an old man by the fire just in front of the room. There's a black pot hanging above the the fire, I peep and I see that there's a liquid bubbling in the pot, the smell of alcohol is strongest in this region so I believe the liquid in the pot is the source of the smell

TOWER OF LIVÁDIAKATERINA’S POV It's morning, I just got up from bed and I haven't even looked into the mirror. I haven't been taken care of myself lately as a woman bearing a child in her stomach should. I stand with my loose garment in front of the mirror and I place my hand gently on my stomach and I sigh. I reach for the wooden cup which contains water from last night, resting on the table and I gulp down the water in it. The cup slips off my hand as the door flings open and I'm startled. It is Varia. She has a fierce look on her face and she seem like she has a lot in her heart to pour out. She has not spoken a word ever since she entered, she has only been glaring at me. “You know, there is a door before a room for a reason,” I say to her, turning back to the mirror —still placing my hand on my stomach. “That wouldn't be your door if Nika was here. Why are you taking everything away from her?” She asks.“That was harsh young lady. Me taking over Nika’s r

ISLE OF AZARIASIAS’ POVMy eyes meet the moon. I takes me moments before realizing that the can't be a moon in a dungeon. The realization of this makes me realize that I'm no longer in the dungeon. I recall the argument I had with Varia. I recall the part where I began to lose my consciousness. I'm weak, it seems like the spell Varia cast on me has side effects. I can't even move my legs without yawning, as though I had been working on the fields. The dungeon is not the only place I'm no longer in, I'm also no longer in Livádia.The ground surrounding me is wet, I don't think the wetness is caused by rain. Its moisture makes it stick to my body. I smell something, I smell a Blosae: A flower which can only grow on an island. I have not been on an island before, but I have seen it before when my mother used to work for the witches in the garden. They had only one of it, and it took them years of nursing it before it grew successful as the climate was not

DWELLERS OF THE EASTDAHLIA’S POVWe watch a red fog rise to the moon. This is a sign. A sign that shows that the fall is near now more than ever. “It is time. Time to journey across the lands to seize our birthrights from the witches of Livádia. The fall has almost come, we rise!” Elena declares.“Let the air that fills my long be not poison, let the breaths of the trees which raised us be our torch,” we all declare, and we move. Livádia is far north of the grasslands, and it will take us at least to nights to reach. .We begin our journey even though it is night. Neither the wild beasts nor the shadows can cross our paths.

We can't seem to find a way to tell each other about everything that has happened in our lives in one night. We clearly don't know anything a
