TOWER OF LIVÁDIAIASIAS' POVI hear a cock crow, and within my half conscious state I can still tell how strange it is as they are no cocks in Eflie. If the cock crows, it means that it is past dawn. I open my eyes as I gain my consciousness and my eyes meet utter darkness.It takes me several moments of confusion before recalling what happened last night after we fought the eccrifytes. I recall going to check on Renee, an- I don't remember any else. I feel the need to stand up to me feet, but after a trial to move my feet, I realize that I might be already on my feet. I stamp my right feet and I see that they is a floor at my feet. I try to move my hands and they are shackled. The chains move in opposition against each other as I try to apply more force, and I see that it is a reality. My hands have been shackled to the walls, my feet are not shackled, but I still can't move any further without my hands. I groan as I feel a slight headache. Something comes to my mind, and I beli
TOWER OF LIVÁDIANIKA'S POVI can't stop myself from sobbing as I run into my room. Iasias’ statements hurts me so much. I hate to know that he sees me as part of those who makes the world a cruel place for him to be. I hate it because it is true, everything he believes me to be is true. I'm a cruel person who adds to the world's cruelty. Varia barges into my room and sees me crying. I try to hide it like I have been doing it ever since I got back, but it seems she is too smart to be fooled.“Sister, you are crying,” She rushes down to me and since she's now aware, I feel no need for pretence anymore, Instead I give in to the urge to hug her. I really need it right now.“Talk to me,” she demands to know what is making me cry, and even before I speak, I break down even deeper in my tears. I'm still hugging her, and she won't Stop patting my back. “You-you won't understand even if I told you,” I sob.“Try me. Walk me out of your room if I fail to comprehend,” She says,
TOWER OF LIVADIA --CONFERENCE ROOMNIKA'S POVI barge into the conference hall and my eyes first meets the ceiling as I try to hide the tears in my ears. I blink at the ceiling as I take a long, deep breath. My eyes move from the ceiling to the floor, and then to my sisters who are sitting in the chairs encircling a wooden table.“Have I not known Isidora at her old age, I would have thought she was the one walking towards us right now. You are as beautiful as your mother when she was as young as you are now,” Sister Grindila says to me and I force a smile on face. “Thank you sister,” I whisper.“Welcome to Livádia sisters.”“Spare us the formalities. We may have come from other lands, but we are still sisters. Groilandiá, Livádia, Vrochí and Spiliá, all are our homes,” Sister Katerina says and I nod with a smile as I take a sit.“You have done us proud beyond thanks,” sister Lydia grabs my hand over the table and I nod.“I was there at that same night, but much earlier than when yo
TOWER OF LIVÁDIAVARIA'S POVI hate the dragons for what they have brought upon sister Nika. It is night now, I look through my window and I see our sisters coming from Spiliá coming through the gate. Grindila and Lydia have long gone back to their coven, but Katerina remains. For now, it is like a merge, Spiliá will join us for now until Nika comes back to support our course. I pick up my cloak and I slot in my hands quickly. It flutters behind me as I approach the dungeon. They are four of them, and I can't tell which room the one named Iasias is. I reach the door to the first dungeon I halt. The keys are dangling in my hand, but the I don't feel the person behind the door is who I want to meet. I move to the second door and I still don't feel like slotting in the key. I approach the third door and my countenance changes. I gasp as I place my hand on the door. There is a strong feeling attached to this particular room. I feel like whoever is behind the door holds something of min
TOWER OF LIVÁDIANIKA'S POVI stand by my window, watching the moon. I have been crying, and it has gotten to the point where I feel like there are no tears in my eyes to be cried out anymore. Just sniffling. I hear a knock on my door and I turn to it quickly."Thank goodness you are here Varia. I'm sorry for everything, I'm sorry for ignoring you earlier today when you tried to apologise. Please don't let this happen, don't let Iasias be killed," I plead with her as she passes through the boundary and walks in."I heard that he would be killed by this tomorrow. If you've ever seen me as your sister, do me this favor," I plead again and she ignores me as she continues to walk towards me. When it is just a small distance between us, she runs to embrace me, breaking into tears."I wish none of this had happened. I wish they'll let you out of here. I miss you so much, and you're the only one whom I know would understand me," she cries in my arms and I kiss her on the head."Shhh! It's o
TOWER OF LIVÁDIAVARIAS’ POV After sisters Katerina ordered me to bed, I only pretended to have fallen asleep when she passed by my door and checked on me. As soon as she walks pass. I stand to my feet and I sneak out of the inner gate to see Iasias. When I reach the dungeon, I open the gate cautiously to avoid another ear from hearing it.IASIAS’ POV I'm in deep pain. My broken thumbs and my bleeding wrists won't let me find some sleep. The cuffs keep pushing against the cut and it causes me to lose more blood. It is quiet, so I can listen to every drop that touches the floor. The door opens and I see a shadowy figure approaching me. It is her, she lights a torch and holds it in her left hand.“You are ok!” I mutter, baffled but glad. “You seem glad, why?” She asks.“You could have ran,” she says to me.“The castle is still under a cloak,” I reply.“You could have used my own knife against me, but you didn't. Why?” She asks.“I’m not a killer. I don't pl
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
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
