TOWER OF LANDIÁLYDIA'S POVIt's noon now, and I'm sitting in my room, waiting for one of our sisters to come to my room any moment from now to inform me about the ritual.I sit restless, as I can't wait to walk into the pool of blood and get sent to the realm of the spirits.I'm already in my white robe, and I also believe they all are gathered in the hall at this time.Someone pushes open my door, and I get up, with a smile on my face. Before she enters, I try to make the smile fade off my face and make myself frown."I'll assume it is time!" I whisper to her and with a heavy heart, she nods."We all await you at the hall," she whispers back to me and she walks out of the room. My face breaks into a smile.I walk out in my white robe as I gently approach the hall.I push the door open, and I take a step into the floor of the hall. The resting of both feet on the floor of the hall alerts my sisters that I have arrived, and they all starts singing in Hazar; the language our spells are
MOUNT SICAIASIAS' POVIt is evening. The girl is still sitting opposite me, and we haven't spoken a lot since I offered her a snake on a stick. She's actually working on the edge of her dress —cutting off the ragged edges. She's beautiful. Even though I won't stop trying, I can't stop staring at her.She raises her head, looking away from her dress to the fire as she tries to toss in the piece of fabric she cut off the edge of her dress, and her eyes meet mine.I try to look away quickly, but it's too late. She knows I have been staring at her, and I can no longer find where to focus them on as my eyes wander.“Am I not supposed to throw that into the fire?” She asks, looking apologetic, and I chuckle.“No, It's fine. Fires are meant for burning things which are no longer needed... by the way,” I say to her and she nods. She moves her attention back to the edge of her dress as she does more trimming.“Iasias!” I call to her and she turns to me.“What does that
REALM OF THE SPIRITSLYDIA'S POVI come out of the stream, drowning in the water absorbed by my robe. I sweep my face, letting the water trickle down my chin, and I run my other hand over my hair to squeeze out the water out of it.“How could you?” I hear her voice whisper from behind me, and I'm startled. Turning slowly towards her, she's standing before me —fierce.“Answer me!” She shouts and I tremble, trying to hide my fear.She moves closer to me slowly, until I can feel her breath on my face. I close my eyes as I try my best to stand still.“You already wanted me to be the next coven leader after you, why does it matter that I took the opportunity without your consent?” I whisper, trying to be audible enough for my words to reach her ears, but my voice is still very low as I'm afrighted.“Why did you do it? Tell me, why did you do it?” She asks again, this time in a calm tone.“I did it because you are not the kind of leader our sisters need at this time. You thin
CAVES OF EFLIEELVIO'S POVIt is night, I'm in Iasias' cave. Since he asked us to keep the Callibra safe before he died, we feel that it is too open at the place it is now, and we think of changing its position.I transform partially, and I begin to dig it out with my claws.“What are you doing?” I hear Domminick’s voice say behind me and I turn towards him.“Since we are uncertainty of its security, I believe we should keep it in a place less obvious. It still needs to be in Iasias'cave, to keep him in our hearts, but not on the wall opposite the entrance,” I say to him and he nods as I turn back to the Callibra and continue with the digging.“Where do you want to keep, where could be safer than where it is now?” Domminick asks and I sigh.“It’s good you are here! I have no idea of where to keep it. I believe you can find some place safer for it,” I say to him and I hear him let out a deep, long sigh.None of us wanted the responsibility of taking care of th
TOWER OF IVÁDIAVARIA'S POVI'm lying on my bed, in my room reading. My window is open, and the moonlight is shining upon the castle roof. It also sneaks into my room through the open window.The book I'm reading is a spell book. I just turned open this page and I haven't read much out of it. I'm sleepy, but the knock on my door widens my eyes, and I sit up —my legs still in my bed, and folded.“Come in Althea!” I say to her and she chuckles as she opens the door and walk in.“How do you do that? I still find it amazing, even as I have known you from when you were a lot younger,” she says, baffled.“It is a gift. I know everyone by their breath, and I can't mistake one's breathe for another,” I say to her and she smiles.“How is sister Nika?” I ask as she sits on my bed.“She’s fine, I believe,” she replies and I nod.“You haven't had any sleep, have you?” She asks and I shake my head. “No, I haven't.” I reply.“Why, what have you been up to?” She asks.“Drawing, I h
MOUNT SICA IASIAS’ POV I open my right eye first and it meets the morning sun. I open the other, and I realize it is morning already after the long sleep I had last night. I look around and I see that I'm still lying on the mountain top, in about the same position I slept. I look to my left and she's not there. She's nowhere at the top of the mountain. I get up quickly and I look down the slope but I still do not see any sign of her. I become so worried and I can only think of climbing down the mountain to search for her. Maybe the witches came back for her or she got lost searching for something. “Reene!” I call and I don't get any response —Climbing down the mountain with both hands. I'm in my human form, and I don't feel the need of a transformation before looking for her. I'm back to the ground, and I decide to walk a distance into the bush as I still don't see any trace of here near the mountain. Walking into the bush, I call again —making sur
TOWER OF LANDIÁLYDIA'S POVIn three days we shall wage a war against the dragons in their own home, Eflie. The eccrifytes, the wild cats and few of my sisters riding on a figan shall rise against them at night and the caves will crumble under the rage the beasts will be summoned.I walk into the hall to join the elders in council. This is my first time entering into this room, and I believe my voice will be heard as I expect. “Good day sisters!” I greet, pulling out the chair and sitting on it. I rest my hand on the top of the round table and I sigh. They all nod, accepting my greetings.“Welcome!” Sister Odessa says to me and I nod.“This is your first day in the council, I assume you have things to say to us about the recent developments about the dragons,” she says to me and I nod. “Sister Odessa, how kind of you,” I say to her —standing up to my feet and placing my hand on the table. “I only have one request. I would like your support, I want you to know th
CAVES OF EFLIEELVIO'S POV It's noon, Dalmatius is sitting on a rock near the waterfall, Domminick is coming out of his cave and I'm sitting under the tree nibbling on an apple. Our attention is drawn to the same direction as we see a girl approaching the caves. Domminick halts, baffled, and I quickly stand to my feet. She's putting on a blue dress, and she's bare footed.“You must be Domminick, and you... Elvio,” she says to us and our brows furrows as we both turn to look at ourselves quickly. We look to her again, baffled.“Who are you, and how do you know our names?” I ask her, and even before she replies, we hear another footstep approaching the caves —causing a distraction, and we both look to see who it is. “Domminick, pluck out my eyes that they may not deceive me,” I mutter in shock of who I see approaching the caves. Dalmatius walks into the midst of the cave from the waterfall and he freezes.“Blind me for I may not see the ghost of a boy whom w
