The Greywing Chronicles Chapter 14
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 Greywing Chronicles Chapter 17
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 Greywing Chronicles Chapter 21
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

As they sat in the dimly lit chamber, the scent of freshly cooked meat and warm bread filled the air. Aldric had left them alone to eat, sensing that Noah wasn’t keen on his presence.Noah pushed his plate away, his appetite gone. "I can’t believe we’re trusting werewolves." His voice was low, but the bitterness was unmistakable. "You know what they did, Elion? You know what they did to my father?"Elion leaned forward, giving him a steady look. "Tell me."Noah took a shaky breath. "It was years ago. My father was traveling through the borderlands when a rogue werewolf—mindless, savage—attacked him. He didn’t even stand a chance. We never even found his body, just his blood-stained sword. That was all that was left of him." His hands clenched into fists. "And now you expect me to just sit here and trust them?"Elion sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Noah, I understand your hatred, but Aldric and his pack aren’t rogues. They have honor. They’re nothing like the beast that kille

Elion walked around the pack house, his sharp eyes taking in every detail. The architecture was unlike anything he had seen in Luminara, Eldoria, or Terrania. The walls were made of solid rock, sturdy and imposing, built for strength rather than grandeur. The structure was spacious, designed to accommodate the sheer size and numbers of the werewolves who called it home.As he assessed his surroundings, the sound of approaching footsteps made him turn. Aldric cleared his throat."Prince?"Elion glanced at him and offered a tired smile. "Call me Elion."Aldric nodded. "Elion, did you sleep well?"Elion sighed. "Not at all." He shook his head. "How could I, when Luna is with the Vampires and my friend is fatally wounded?""They’ll both be fine." Aldric assured him."I hope so." Elion muttered.Aldric gestured to one of the werewolves standing nearby. "Ronan, bring the things."A large, burly man stepped forward, carrying a few items. He handed them to Aldric, who then passed them to Elio

Luna’s eyes snapped open, her breath coming in sharp gasps. She sat up abruptly, her body tensed for a fight. The dimly lit chamber around her was unfamiliar—dark stone walls, velvet curtains, and an overwhelming scent of old blood and something else... something ancient.Her heart pounded as she tried to push herself off the bed, but a deep, amused chuckle made her freeze."Easy, little angel."She turned sharply to see a man lounging in a grand chair, one leg draped over the other. His long, dark coat had intricate gold embroidery, and his piercing eyes gleamed under the candlelight. There was a lazy smirk on his lips, a dangerous kind of arrogance that made her feel both wary and unsettled."Where am I?" she demanded, her voice firmer than she felt."My castle." he said smoothly. "You passed out in my arms. Quite the dramatic entrance, really."Luna bristled at his smug tone. "Who are you?""Valerius." He tilted his head, watching her like a predator would its prey. "Lord of this c
