CALLIBRA: THE CURSED EYE OF ARAK * CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE
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

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

CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO
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. ELVIO’S POV The sounds of people fighting wakes and so did it for Domminick and Dalmatius. 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

I spent last night sitting by Nika’s door hoping the spell would wear off a bit to give me a chance to speak to Nika, but instead I found out that the spell has being enhanced even more than it was earlier.

TOWER OF LIVÁDIAKATERINA'S POV I'm restless. I have long returned back to the castle with Althea after failing to find the slave who escaped. The figans returned back long ago, and he could not be found anywhere near the castle. I keep pacing all over my room until I hear the knock on my door."Who is it? Come in!" I shout to whoever is at the door and the door handle turns. Sister Althea walks in and sigh."Any news about the him?" I ask and she shakes her head."What are we to do about this?" I ask and she exhales. "I don't know what else to do," she says to me and I sigh. "Send out the figans again, we must find him," I Instruct her and she leaves. It is night, and so I know I have to get some sleep. If not for me, for the one I'm carrying.ISLE OF AGARIASIAS' POV We've been walking around the Island.

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. TOWER OF LIVÁDIAIASIAS’ POV I'm still sitting in the dungeon with Varia sitting beside me. Both leaning on the wall behind us. My knees are raised, her legs are straightened. 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
