Elion headed towards the Mayor's office while Luna waited for him at Noah's house. After waiting a few minutes, the guards let him in."Yes, Your Highness? What brings you back?". Hans asked him, standing up."I have a request". He replied."Request? You should order, My Prince". "I know what I said. I choose my words carefully". Elion said.Hans gave a nod trying to understand. "I request that you release Noah Graves". Elion stood at his place, looking at The Mayor's changed expressions."I'm afraid, that can't happen". "As far as I know, he took Luna home so you put him in prison. Now that the matter is resolved, you should release him". Elion said.Mayor shook his head. "He's accused of so many other things, My Prince. He steals from people-". "Not for himself". Elion arched his eyebrow. Hans clenched his jaws. "Terrania has its own rules and regulations. I don't think you should intervene"."I know I can't but-". "So you shouldn't". Hans said rudely. Elion clenched his ja
The Greywing Chronicles Chapter 15
The three of them entered the prison building, which was far larger than it appeared from the outside. John led them through dimly lit corridors, skillfully evading suspicion and fooling the guards. Luna and Elion glanced around, taking in the sight of prisoners behind bars—some asleep, others sitting close to the iron bars, their hollow eyes staring into the void.After weaving through the maze of corridors, John came to a stop in front of a heavy iron door.“All of them behind bars, and Noah behind an iron door?”. Elion whispered, his tone edged with curiosity.“He always escapes”. John muttered, glancing back at them before approaching the guard stationed at the door.“Mayor Hans sent us”. John said, his voice shifting to a rough, authoritative tone. “Noah Graves has been granted a final wish before his execution. We’re here to record it”.The guard frowned, looking skeptical. “All three of you?”. he asked.“Do you have a problem with that?”. John snapped, his voice cold and impati

Luna watched the exchange with a gentle smile, the interaction between the men warming her heart. Finally, Noah turned to her, his expression soft and sincere.“Now I know why you’re an angel”. He said with a polite smile.Luna chuckled, tilting her head. “What?”.“I mean, you saved me. And here I thought helping with your wounds was repayment enough. This? This is surprising and unbelievable”. Noah said, his voice laced with gratitude.“Noah”. Luna said softly, shaking her head. “You didn’t just help me with my wounds. You did far more than that”.He shrugged, his modesty evident. “To me, it was the least I could do”.“But it wasn’t the least for me”. She replied, her voice filled with quiet sincerity.Noah smiled, the weight of his emotions shimmering in his eyes. “Thank you so much, my lady. Truly”.“Don’t mention it, Noah”. Luna said, her tone firm yet kind.The brief moment of calm was interrupted by John clearing his throat. “Now that we’re out of the prison, we need to find a p

The next morning, the basement was quiet except for the soft sound of Noah's steady breathing as he slept. Elion stirred awake, stretching as he sat up. He glanced around, his gaze settling on Luna, who was sitting on the last stair. She was holding a scroll, her expression distant and a little sad as she read its contents.“Luna? My dear”. Elion called softly, his cheerful tone breaking the silence. “When did you wake up?”Luna looked up, startled out of her thoughts, but she managed a warm smile. “Elion... just a little while ago”. She replied, carefully tucking the scroll into her bag and placing it aside. “Did you sleep well?”.“Yes, very well”. He said, his grin widening. He stood and walked over to her, kneeling in front of her. His eyes softened as he gazed at her face. “You look beautiful”.Luna blinked, her cheeks flushing slightly. “What?”.“You’re beautiful”. Elion said again, his voice low and full of affection. “The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen”. He smiled warmly,

Noah sat near the fireplace, staring into the flickering flames, lost in his thoughts. A soft murmur of voices reached him from across the room, where Luna and Elion sat, speaking in hushed tones."Luna, we don’t have much time". Elion whispered."I know". Luna sighed, her eyes drifting toward Noah. "But I can’t just leave him like this. If I can help him, why wouldn’t I?"."You should, but time’s running out" Elion pressed. "We have to stop the Dark King."Luna hesitated for a moment before nodding. "We set out tomorrow, okay?".Elion glanced at Noah, who still seemed unaware of their conversation. "And what about him?""He’ll come with us" Luna decided. "We’ll leave him in Mystoria and move on from there.""Alright". Elion nodded. "Seems like a plan."Noah’s voice suddenly cut through their conversation. "You lovebirds done whispering over there?" He smirked, turning to face them.Luna blinked, flustered. "Lovebirds?"."Yeah" Noah grinned. "You’re in love, right?""We're not—" Luna

Noah gestured for them to stay behind and stepped up to the wooden door, giving it a firm knock. Silence. He knocked again, louder this time.“Mr. Bartholomew? Are you in there?”After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing an old man with deep wrinkles and a permanent frown. As soon as his gaze fell on their soldier uniforms, his scowl deepened.“What do you want from me now?” he grumbled.“Mr. Bartholomew, we need to talk.” Noah said evenly.“I’ve got nothing to do with you soldiers.” the old man snapped, beginning to shut the door.“We’re not soldiers!” Noah interjected quickly. “I’m Noah.”Bartholomew scoffed. “Even if you were God, I wouldn’t care.”Noah clenched his jaw but remained calm. “Look, I’m Jack Graves’ son. I need your help. Please, this is important.”At the mention of his father’s name, Bartholomew’s hands faltered on the doorframe. His eyes narrowed.“What is it?” he asked gruffly.“These are my friends, Luna and Elion.” Noah gestured behind him. “We need your N

As they crept toward the fortress, the eerie silence was broken by the distant sound of rustling—too rhythmic to be the wind.“They know we’re here.” Noah whispered.Elion drew his sword, gripping it tightly. Luna extended her hands, summoning the shadows around them. The mist thickened, responding to her presence.Then, from the darkness, they emerged.The Mithanguils.They moved like wraiths, their bodies long and sinewy, their skin shimmering like oil in the moonlight. Their eyes, bright as molten silver, pulsed with an unnatural glow. They made no sound, but their movements were sharp, predatory.Noah inhaled sharply. “Stay in the shadows. Do not—”Before he could finish, one lunged at him. He rolled aside just in time, its clawed hand slashing through the air where he had been.Elion charged, his blade slicing through the creature’s arm. It let out a terrible, breathless hiss, its wound sealing almost instantly.“They heal fast!” Elion shouted.Luna flung her hands forward, and t

The moonlight bathed the ancient castle in silver, its towering spires and weathered stone walls looming over Luna as she forced herself forward. Her limbs felt heavy, her head dizzy from the passage’s lingering effects."Good. I can find someone there for help." she muttered to herself, steadying her steps.Just as she moved closer, a voice spoke from behind her."Do you need something?"Luna turned sharply, coming face to face with a tall, strikingly handsome man. His eyes gleamed under the moonlight—silver, yet tinged with red at the corners."I… need help." she said breathlessly.The man stepped closer, his movements slow, deliberate. He brushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, his touch cool against her feverish skin. "Are you lost?" he asked, his lips curling into a knowing smile. "Why are you so pale?""I… That happens when I walk through passages." Her voice wavered. "My friend is injured. He needs help—"Before she could say another word, the world tilted. Darkness

The morning was just as cold as the night had been, if not worse. The wind had settled, but the chill had seeped deep into their bones. The sun rose over the vast, icy expanse, casting a golden glow over the glaciers. It should have been beautiful, but for Noah, it was just another miserable start to the day."Oh, for the love of—!"Noah’s voice rang through the silence as he stood, shivering, holding up his damp cloak. His clothes were just as bad—soaked through and ice-cold."Why is everything wet?! Did someone dump snow on me while I was sleeping? Was it you, Aldric?" He glared accusingly.Aldric, fastening his gear, barely looked up. "Why would I waste perfectly good snow on you?"Luna chuckled as she adjusted the straps on her boots. "Maybe the ice melted a little beneath you. You do tend to move a lot in your sleep."Noah grumbled, wringing out his sleeve. "This is the worst expedition ever."Elion, already prepared, simply tossed him a fresh cloth. "Dry yourself off. We need to

The night had been long, stretched thin by the bitter cold and restless minds. Elion sat near the dying embers of the fire, his back against a boulder, fingers tapping anxiously against his knee. He hadn’t slept—not really. His mind refused to settle, his heart heavy with an unease he couldn’t shake.Noah and Aldric weren’t much better. They had tried to rest, but sleep came in restless shifts. Every now and then, one of them would stir, glance at the darkened horizon, and sigh before settling again. The wind howled over the ice, filling the silence with its eerie whispers.Elion’s eyes were fixed on the eastern sky, waiting.Then—just as the first tendrils of dawn stretched across the horizon—he saw it.A dark silhouette against the rising sun, moving steadily across the ice.His breath caught in his throat.Noah and Aldric stirred, sensing the shift in the air. Aldric rubbed his eyes before looking up, his expression sharpening. Noah sat up straighter, squinting against the morning

The river had been ruthless.Elion’s muscles burned as he pulled himself onto the muddy bank, coughing out water. The current had nearly dragged him under, and if not for his quick instincts, he might not have made it. His breath came in ragged gasps as he rolled onto his back, staring at the darkening sky. The cat leaped onto land beside him, shaking itself dry.Then—a sound.A deep, guttural growl.Elion froze. His soaked body turned cold with alertness. Something was watching him.Slowly, he sat up, his eyes scanning the dense foliage ahead. The jungle was thick here, damp and shadowed, the towering trees twisting together like ancient sentinels. He could hear the distant cry of birds, the rustling of unseen creatures—but the growl came again. Closer this time. Lower.His hand instinctively went to his dagger.Then, the bushes parted.A jaguar.Sleek, massive, its golden-black spotted coat barely visible in the dimming light. Its muscles rippled as it stepped forward, its emerald e

Luna moved through the vast desert, her boots sinking slightly into the warm, golden sand. The sun was setting, painting the sky with hues of deep orange, crimson, and violet. The desert stretched endlessly before her, dunes rising and falling like waves frozen in time.A warm wind blew past her, carrying with it grains of sand and whispers of the unknown. She pulled her cloak tighter around her shoulders. The desert's heat was nothing to her—it didn't burn her skin or exhaust her like it would for a mortal—but the silence, the emptiness... that was suffocating.She glanced at the long shadows stretching across the dunes. Soon, the desert would turn cold and unforgiving. Yet, she kept moving forward, her thoughts wandering as much as her feet.She missed them.Elion, with his steady presence and endless faith in her.Aldric, always teasing but always reliable.Noah, reckless but full of heart.She sighed, pressing her lips together. Would they all make it? Would they survive their sep

Aldric and Noah stood at the edge of the plains, the sky above them painted in shades of deep orange and violet. The land stretched endlessly ahead, a vast, open expanse with scattered patches of tall grass. In the distance, the bulls grazed lazily, their strong bodies outlined against the fading sunlight.“She drove it away.” Aldric said, exhaling as he adjusted the straps of his bag.“Yeah.” Noah murmured, running a hand through his hair. “Let’s just hope we get out fine.”Aldric smirked. “Remember the challenge?”Noah grinned. “I do.”“Good, but we can’t do that right now. I say we take one bull and ride it together.”“No.”“Yes.”They locked eyes.“Let’s draw.”Aldric pulled out two small sticks, one slightly longer than the other. Noah picked first.The short one.Aldric grinned in victory. “Looks like we’re riding together.”Noah groaned. “Great.”They made their way toward the herd. The bulls, large and muscular, eyed them warily as Aldric approached. With experienced ease, he

As the sun reached its peak and began its slow descent, the four of them gathered in a small clearing where Aldric spread out the map. The worn parchment crinkled beneath his fingers, his many rings glinting in the light as he traced possible routes with a calculating expression.Elion leaned back against a fallen tree, nibbling on a roasted potato, listening as Aldric laid out their options."When we exit the forest, we have three choices." Aldric began. "The river to the east, the desert to the west, or the plains straight ahead. All of them eventually lead to the glaciers you spotted earlier, Elion. On the other side of those glaciers is the passage we need to cross."Noah tilted his head. "The plains are the most direct path. We wouldn’t have to veer east or west, just keep straight and circle to the foot of the glaciers.""True, but it’s the most dangerous option." Aldric countered. "We’ll see wildlife, sure, but the predators are relentless. Cheetahs, lions, and God know what el
Chapter 32
The forest was quiet in the early morning stillness, the sky just beginning to shift from deep indigo to the softest hues of dawn. The rain had long stopped, leaving behind a damp, earthy scent that lingered in the air. Elion stood at the edge of the trees, his arms crossed, his gaze distant. His thoughts were troubled, his mind circling around the same worry again and again. Behind him, he heard a rustling sound, followed by a low groan. "Great! Just great! Now my shoe is muddy! What a nice way to start the day." Aldric grumbled as he emerged from the cave, his expression twisted in disgust. With an exasperated sigh, he pulled off the offending shoe and flung it aside into the darkness. Elion barely reacted, his eyes still on the horizon. Aldric moved beside him, rubbing his arms against the morning chill. "What are you doing up so early? The sun isn’t even out yet." Elion didn’t answer right away. His jaw clenched slightly, as if debating whether to voice what was weighing on hi
Chapter 31
As they ran through the thick forest, branches whipping past them, the sounds of distant growls faded behind. They didn’t stop until they were sure they were safe. When Aldric finally slowed his pace, the others followed, catching their breath.Noah leaned against a tree, still shaken. “We really need to stop getting ourselves into life-threatening situations.”Elion smirked. “Where’s the fun in that?”Aldric ignored them, scanning the area. “We need to find shelter before nightfall. I’ll look for a cave.”He turned and disappeared into the trees. Luna was about to follow when Elion suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing."Wait… do you hear that?"Luna paused, listening. It was faint at first—a soft, pained mewl. A cat.Noah looked around. “A cat? Here? In the wild? That’s odd.”Elion followed the sound, pushing aside thick bushes until he came across a small, black figure curled up near the roots of a tree. It was a cat, its sleek fur matted with dirt and blood. One of its legs was tw

The morning light seeped through the cracks in the cave, casting a soft golden hue over the rough walls. Luna still felt sore, every muscle in her body protesting even the slightest movement. She hadn't left the cave last night—she hadn't had the energy to.Elion sat beside her, his fingers wrapped gently around hers as she sipped from a wooden flask. His warmth was reassuring, grounding her in this unfamiliar place."You should eat something." he murmured, his gaze filled with concern.Luna shook her head weakly. "I'm not hungry."Elion exhaled. "Luna, you need strength. The jump through the passage took a toll on you."She sighed, resting her head against the cool stone behind her. "I'll be fine. Just give me a little time."Aldric was outside, scouring the woods for herbs that could ease her pain. He had left at dawn, determined to find something useful.On the other side of the cave, Noah sat in a corner, methodically sharpening his dagger. The soft scraping of metal against stone
