The Elderien Chronicles The healing of Hela
"Ahh!""Hela screamed as the horse came to a stop. Tears fell from the sides of her face and when Miranda approached her, grabbing her by the arm, she sobbed."Kevin, help me!"Miranda called out to Kevin who quickly unmounted his horse and grabbed Hela, bringing her down from the horse. They helped her sit but she still kept on crying.And she was losing so much blood."This is bad. Really bad."Kevin said as he checked the Dept of the wound. He was no healer but he wasn't blind as well."We need to get her to a healer. We do not know how far the wound goes. And she is losing so much blood." Miranda said to Kevin."Yeah. But question is, where do we get a healer? We are still at least thirty minutes away from the capital and not to mention, we probably have other sorcerers looking for us right now. The best place she can get the treatment she needs is the Keep." Kevin replied."But the keep is too far away. She might not make it. We have to look for other alternatives." Miranda ment
The Elderien Chronicles The Escape
"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
The Elderien Chronicles The wandering(1)
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
The Elderien Chronicles The wandering(2)
"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
The Elderien Chronicles The mysterious saviour
*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
The Elderien Chronicles The Goblins
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
The Elderien Chronicles The Deal with a king
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
The Elderien Chronicles The Triumph
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

Alastair
***Final Chapter***The monster hurled at the ship with a force so great that its punch pushed the ship backward. They were lucky not to have sustained a tear because Alastair and Blaize had formed a shield to block the punch. The shield, however, shattered immediately upon impact.The ship groaned and tilted from side to side, and what came next were screams from the crew as they fell into the sea. The captain struggled to find her balance, however, that was proving difficult. The ship groaned again and tilted to another side, shaking the captain's grip off her sword with which she had stabbed the deck.She screamed as she glided towards the sea, which at that time was already being occupied by monsters that looked like snakes. There was a multitude of them, and their hisses could be heard. They had killed the members of the crew that fell into the sea.As the captain was about to fall overboard, Blaize created a shield that blocked her path and pulled her back into the ship. She exch

The ship (2)
"Set sail!"The captain's voice rang through the entire ship as men busied themselves with their jobs. The crew members ran Helter skelter as they tried to get the ship running, and in no time, they did. The ship roared as it sailed on the sea, a sight that sent shivers down Cara's body For Alastair, he just stood beside her and watched other members of the crew as they worked tirelessly. The captain was no longer with them. She was busy shouting orders, screaming at the men, and cursing them as they worked. Considering the fact that she was much smaller than most of the men on the ship, it was a funny sight to see.She soon sent Alastair a gaze and nodded to him. Alastair returned the gesture. As soon as the captain looked away, Alastair smiled softly. The time was finally approaching, and there was nothing to stop destiny from unfolding. He was still lost in thoughts when he suddenly began to feel like there was a pair of eyes looking at him.It was the same feeling he had gotten b

"Stand firm. Widen your stance and fix yourself to the ground. Strike with intent."Alastair instructed Cara as she sparred against him. Her moves had gotten better already but they still needed some more work. She groaned and struck Alastair, putting in so much of her energy that she tripped and fell down when Alastair made a false move."Predict where I will be. It will be what you need most of the time. You need to see the bigger picture when you are dealing with an opponent. Stand up and come at me again."Alastair instructed and Cara obeyed. She was past the stage of grumbling. She knew she needed to become stronger for what was coming.She charged and did her best to predict Alastair's moves. But they were too advanced for her. However, Alastair did not hold back. If she was to fulfill her destiny, she needed to become better than he was. Alastair decided to do a move to throw her off balance but Cara suddenly blocked it.Alastair was surprised. He pushed a bit further and intro

Lullaby
"Why don't you put down the crossbow and we can talk this through like adults?" Alastair said to the captain who scoffed at his guts. Her eyes were blaring with anger, and the only thing in her eyes other than anger was turmoil, pain, and regret.She steadied the crossbow in her hand and fixed her gaze upon Cara. Her eyes never left her. It seemed like she could remember what happened that day, the fire that suddenly blasted them all apart. She could remember the smell of burnt flesh which filled the air, saturating every part of the house. She could remember the smell of her own flesh and the moment that hit her, her face twitched a little. She took a deep breath and pointed the crossbow at Cara. Alastair did not want to use his magic against her for he knew they would be needing her help if they were to get to the isle of mists. But how the captain survived was still a mystery. He was certain she had died."You! You did this to me!", The captain said and pointed to the scarred part

Fear
"You didn't even ask for her name." Cara said to Alastair as they walked down the busy road. Their short time at the pub had not turned out the way Alastair hoped. He just kept walking in silence, and the silence was what made Cara uncomfortable."I did not need to," Alastair replied and she scoffed."Why not? She was clearly into you and you liked her as well. What is stopping you?" Cara asked, but then she realized how insensitive her statement was. She should not say such things about Alastair's relationship."Is it because of Miranda?" She asked but he was silent."How do you know she is still waiting for you?" Cara asked again but Alastair still said nothing. She was right. He did not know. But the thing bothering him was that he might not live to find out. "I... I do not want to forget her. I want to cherish our memories together until there is nothing left of me. That is why I cannot look at another woman. But what do you know? You are just a child.".Alastair said and scoff

Pub
The night still ravaged on as Alastair and Cara kept walking down the streets. Alastair got the chance to see more of the town, like he had secretly desired. The town was a beautiful place, quite exotic as well.He did not know if it were the decorations, or the thrill in the air but he was certain that that town had seen alot of bad days in the past and they were trying to make out the future as best as they can. He could see a young woman and two kids which looked like they were hers.The woman glanced at him and smiled, a smile which melted Alastair's heart. He saw that she had twin boys, and the imagination of the kind of life he would have been living if he grew up with his mother and brother was vivid.One of the twin boys ran towards him and gave him a popsicle. Alastair smiled as he took the popsicle from the boy, and giving their mother a nod, she quickly led her eager boys toward a candy shop. Alastair sighed as he watched them. He did not even hear Cara stepping up before h

Prepare for anything
The journey was quiet, and although the moonlight shone upon them like the ever glowing beam of light that it is, Cara was not feeling it. She just kept walking, a step behind Alastair. Her head was bowed, her fists were clenched. Her nails were digging into her palms, although not enough to give her an injury, it still hurt.Maybe she wanted it to hurt. Maybe she just wanted to feel something at the end of the day. She had been so hollow ever since the fight. She could feel Asmodeus crawling around in her mind. She could feel the Phoenix slowly regressing. She could feel the terror that was coming, very one that she was destined to bring upon the world."Are you alright?" Alastair asked her, snapping her out of it. She nodded quickly and looked at him for a moment. "You look disturbed. Is there anything you would like to talk about?" Alastair asked her again but she shook her head. He decided not to press her. If she was ready to talk, she would."Do you miss it? Everything else bef

Keeping it safe
An energy blast escaped from cara's body and hit all those that were in close proximity to her, James and Denise included. The force of the blast was so powerful that it took them off their feet and crashed them onto the ground. Cara let out a guttural growl as energy began to radiate from her body. The red, hot, energy began to gush out even more as her powers levitated her slowly. The growls continued, and so did the fear on lord Karl's face. He has never seen anything like that. He and his followers were not sure of what to do at that point. They slowly stood to their feet and watched as she stretched out her hand toward them. Her yellow eyes fell on them and with a sudden spark, her energy surged again. This time, it did not hit James and Denise. Both were surprised that the energy phased right through them to hit a sorcerer standing behind them and when they turned around, their eyes beheld a horror unlike what they knew before.The sorcerer's body froze. His eyes stretched out

Unison
"Cara... Cara, are you alright?"Cara could hear Fristborn's voice call out to her. She opened her eyes slowly and what she saw was someone she never knew she could see any more. Was she dead, or was she dreaming? She gazed at Fristborn's face and in that split second, she reached out to touch him.But someone else quickly grabbed her hand and she turned and saw Denise standing there. Her eyes roamed back to 'fristborn' but was actually James that was kneeling beside her. She blushed in embarrassment as she quickly say up. They were no longer in the house. From what Cara could see, they were some distance away from the house and it was not too quiet. She could still hear the sounds of guards running around, trying to look for them. The three of them remained silent for a while."What happened?" Cara asked as she rubbed her eyes. It felt like she slept for a long time."You fainted," Denise replied to her. Cara tried to recall what had happened after she felt the surge in her magic b
