The lake basked under the moonlight and its bright light made the lake sparkle like it had a touch of magic, but it was only a mere lake with mundane water. . .Surrounded by the deep wild trees and shrubs was the lake, but it was not the only thing that stood within this pile. There was one more thing that was not green, although, built from wood.There was a tiny, yet beautiful house that sat at most 20 steps away from the shore of the lake. It was as wild as the wilderness it stood in, with lots and lots of creeping plants and trees winding their stalks around it.The inside was no different; it was shadowy, and they were different herbal plants growing in several vases that sat up on the shel

The kranìans had retired, and they had gone into their tents. The women and the young ones were all asleep, some of the men too had fallen asleep, but there were some who were charged with the responsibility of keeping an eye on the prisoners and the surrounding as well. It was not as if the Kranìans were scared, if anything, but Malak, who was just a new member and was still not used to everything, thought it to be safer if some of them were awake. . .Amongst those who he had given these orders was Lokaa, the Kranìan who was charged with the responsibility of guarding the prisoners in the cage. After breaking Isher's wrist, he had refused to let his eyes off him, not even for one second. Lokaa kept staring at Isher and rarely looked at any other person in the cage. It made him focus on the cage as a whole, including the people in it. H

Magic was not supposed to be knew to her, because she had seen it in excess while with Castar and Callagh, and she was not supposed to be that much intrigued by Kitá’s little trick, but the thing was that she could remember none of those moments. Almost everything was new to her and little things excited her. If she could remember, she would have known that Kita’s magic was not normal and was a bit strange. She would have remembered that only the Kranìans bore magic, and no other tribe could do what they did. How then could Kitá be toying with some strands of magic? It would have brough

There was utter silence, and nothing could be heard apart from the chirping sound of the birds that came once in a while. . . Everyone had retired, even the Kranìans that were extremely stubborn and hardly felt the need to rest their heads. They had all spent the day preparing for the siege on the Syrn empire. Isher gave up some moments ago, after he could no longer see the figure. He glanced through the other prisoners who were his men, and he saw through the tiny space between them that Lokaa had fallen asleep. . . He never would have believed it if someone had told him Lokaa was going to fall asleep. Keeping an eye on Isher had been his priority, so it made Isher wonder if he would ever take a break. . .But at this moment, not only were his eyes off Isher, he was also in a deep slumber. This was so

The sky was grey and silver clouds embedded in it. “No! That is not it. You are getting it all wrong!” Kitá shouted from behind Era, and she trembled and almost fell from the rock top into the lake. She had been trying to get what Kitá had been teaching her since very early in the morning and she had not got it yet. It was though for her to learn all the steps in one single training session. Besides, this was her first ever. Kitá insisted she must learn how to assimilate it that very da

He tried his best to follow through with Malak’s order as quickly as he could. He walked out from Malak’s tent with Isher's body, and he didn't go anywhere else. His walk took him straight to the border between Metrá and Kin, and at the border, he dropped Isher's body and turned back towards the great hill of kin. . .Silence reigned, and the wind coming from around the hill swept over Isher's still body. . .Lo. . . there had been a man in the woods nearby. Isher's body was to being watched. Mafik was only waiting to confirm Lokaa's departure from the border. He was waiting patiently until he saw that Lokaa had taken the turn which was definitely going to take him to the hill, and then he looked around one more time just to be sure no other person was watching.

The rain was pattering on almost everything, and the night was wet. It occurred to the guards to keep the torches burning no matter what in order to keep the watch going as Faral had instructed them.Faral had been singing about it into their ears. He made sure that every guard had a good rest in the afternoon, and they were all forced to drink a special night tea that was meant to keep them awake —helping them to resist the urge to fall asleep— through the night.Etri came into the city after leaving the

The sound of the cockcrow from a distance hit Isher's ears and his eyes opened. His eyes first met the wall that was staring back at him, and when he turned around, he saw Zyra sitting beside him on the bed. Zyra smiled at him, and it gladdened his heart to be showered with so much love. He had missed all of these as a boy, because Castar was always there to steal it from him, but now he was a grown man, and even at this, it still brought smile to his face. The smile on his face ceased after a thought came to him. The love was there, he was getting everything he ever wanted —everything that had ever made him jealous— but he was not fulfilled. Zyra noticed how fast the smile on Isher's face ceased, and she was surprised —wondering of she did something wrong. Isher's attention was drawn from her and his eyes wander

It amazed even Yilius himself. He was so surprised that many customers were still patronizing him even till that time of the night. The night was also not young at this time, Yillius stood behind his counter, letting his eyes wander as he takes note of all the customers that were present. All of the regular ones were present, and he also saw faces that were not that familiar. They were a couple of new faces there, and he knew from that moment that his business was indeed flourishing. He brought out his pouch and pulled it open, what caught his eyes brought a huge smile upon his face. There were lots and lots of money, in fact, he had not made such an amount in months.

Keep learning so you would teach me more from where we stop, only if we meet again,” Era said, and she embraced Kitá. Kitá Pat her back twice and and broke from the embrace. She grabbed Era’s shoulders tightly. . .“Surely, we will meet again.

Kitá’s gaze was on the burning woods as she waited for Lyris’ next question. Lyris had been throwing questions at her, some of which she could not answer, because she genuinely did not know what to say. She was able to answer so many others, but that was not enough. Lyris wanted to be sure she was to be trusted. Like Lyris said, she deemed the magic that Kitá was harnessing to be evil, and the fact that she was comfortable with teaching

Her pupils emitted a bright blue light, and her hair had not lost its sheen.She looked around to see if anyone had s
