"They found us."Kevin added as he armed himself with a lot of Elle's knives. Hela was standing up by then and so was Elle."How many?" Miranda asked Kevin."About a dozen. Sorcerers and Mages alike." He replied."We are completely outnumbered." Hela said to them"And outmatched," Elle added."Is there another way out of your house?" Miranda asked Elle but she sighed."There is only one and it is through that door." She said, pointing to the main door. "That means we have to fight then. Our main priority right now is getting Miranda to safety. She is the future Queen if not the Queen of this kingdom and she needs us right now. So we will escape and think of a place to go." Kevin said and the others nodded."We cannot go to the keep. That's out of the question." Miranda told them"What about Lord Henry? Their manor is very much reachable from here. We can take you there. He would be delighted to host you." Kevin said and Miranda shot him a look.But she had no choice. That was their b
Cara slowly opened her eyes as the waves from the river washed up on her. She groaned, her head banging severely as she tried to adjust her eyes to the rising morning sun.The sun itself was not friendly for the first thing she saw was the round yellow globe sending a bright directly into her eyes. She squinched her eyes, breathed shakily, and tried to get up.But her entire body arched.It felt like she had been beaten. She tried to move her leg but she received intense muscle aches which made her cry out. What the hell happened with her? She wondered. She could hear ravens cawing from a distance and the river bank she was washed up on was mostly empty, save for a few things here and there that littered everywhere.She managed to stand up and looked across the river. She knew she was no longer in Brheila. Everything had changed. She realized she needed to go back as soon as she could. What was the last thing she remembered? She wondered.Nothing came to her at first, so she took her
"We cannot let her stay here."Cara heard someone say from the background. She was beginning to wake up and the first thing her body noticed is that she was resting her head on a pillow. She mumbled as she opened her eyes, groaning from the terrible pain in her head that nearly killed her."Are you alright?"Someone asked her and she sighed. She took a closer look at the face of the person that was speaking with her. And her stomach had butterflies when she saw his face.He was a bit older than she was, with full hair and brown eyes. He had a well-shaved beard and a striking jawline to follow. She found herself going breathless at the sight of him. He was so good-looking!"Are you alright?" He asked again and she slowly nodded. She tried to sit up but her head was killing her. She groaned as she grabbed her head. But then, he quickly grabbed her and helped her lay back down."Kay?" He called to a girl Cara saw standing by the side of the fairly large room they were in.She gazed at C
*Few days before meeting Alastair*Cara watched as the man she was targeting made a pass toward a tavern. There weren't a lot of people outside at that time. She crunched behind the large empty barrels and observed the man go inside. He was rich and she knew that fact. She needed t steal from him, or like she always says 'pick his pocket.'She did not consider herself a thief, at least not a real one. So when the man had gone inside, she slowly stepped out of her hiding place and proceeded to go in. A cart filled with wine suddenly pulled up before her and she had to jerk back to avoid getting hit."Watch where you're going, boy!" The Rider spat.She scoffed right at his face and walked into the tavern. She dressed like a boy. It was her trademark.There was a large man at the door who would have refused her access but luckily for her, he turned away for a moment and she quickly dashed inside. She was able to locate the man she wanted to steal from. He was gambling at a table and they
Cara observed as someone brought light into the cell. From the shadow they cast, she was convinced they were tall, but when the person showed up, Cara saw something which she could probably describe as the most adorable person she had ever seen.He was as short as a dwarf or even shorter. He had bright red hair with red eyes. His skin was yellow and his nose and cheeks gave out a blush. His cheeks were plump and his mouth was small and pink. He looked like a grown-up baby but his most distinguishing feature was probably his fingernails which were pure gold.The man smiled as he approached them. Cara was awe-stricken but she did not know what he was. He was not human, that much she could tell."We need to leave this place immediately. The silent ones will soon be back and you do not want to be here when they get here." Then, he pointed at the silent one whom he had turned into a giant statue."This will not hold him forever. Let's go!'He said Cara followed. She could see the hesitatio
Lavender.That was the first thing she could smell as she slowly opened her eyes. She let out a slight groan as her head still ached from the impact. She hoped no one would hit her head again. "Ahh!"She exclaimed, grasping her head as she sat up. Her head was banging, like some drum had been placed inside it. She just kept on wincing until the headache began to subside.But then, she noticed she was not in the goblin's tent anymore. The room she was in was well-lightened with a beautiful chandelier. It had elegant red curtains that brought out the beauty on the white walls. The ground was smooth and glistening. She could have sworn she was inside a castle That was when she saw the silent ones. Two of them stood by the door and looked at her, or so she thought. They Just froze there like living statues. They were weird and creepy.So as she stood up, she realized that she should be grateful for them. They saved her back at the goblin's tent. Otherwise, she might have become a meal
Cara gazed at her hands and legs, knowing it had happened again. Her powers had saved her yet again but she still felt weak and powerless.She looked at her reflection in the mirror, her perfectly healed face staring right back at her. Did her powers need to wait until she was dead to spring into action? What was the essence of having so much power and being so special if she could not control it? She was tired of it all. She was confused. She needed an out. It seemed that the world around her did not care that she was just sixteen. She did not have the opportunity to grow as normal Children do. "What is wrong with me?"She asked herself. How was she supposed to save the world if she didn't know how the mechanics of her powers worked? Maybe she was always destined to be its destroyer, the greatest conqueror. Burn everything to the ground, and make sure none is left. That way, the other part of her destiny would be fulfilled.The door to her supposed room opened and Garrick walked in
Cara stood all alone in the vast space. She turned around, but there was nothing there, no life, no sound. Nothing. Just emptiness.She wanted to go back to the palace. She was quite scared for she did not even know how to go on about that. The more she looked at the darkness, the more it stared right back at her."Hello? Is anyone here?"She called out into the darkness. But what she heard was her own voice echoing. "Please! Somebody!" She called out again. And like the last time, she could only hear the echoes of her voice.How was she even standing on water? It was like a lake of some sort. She quivered at the thought of drowning. She could not swim. Somehow, the thought of swimming has always terrified her. She kept standing there, knowing that she might not be able to leave soon.But then, she heard footsteps. Someone was walking towards her. Her heart was elated when she knew she was not alone in the emptiness. Perhaps the person can provide insights on how she could leave. She
