The Last Blood Mage Prince David's Birthday
By the time the sunlight had faded and given way to the evening's embrace, the capital of Emberlyn shimmered under the night sky like a jewel. The streets were alive with activity, the pavements aglow with the light of torches dipped in alchemical substances that cast a bright, almost magical luminescence. The city, with its bustling energy and vibrant lights, stood in stark contrast to the quiet darkness of the forest they had traversed.Xander, peering out from the carriage, commented on the line of carriages arrayed along the pavement, all heading towards the city gates. "Looks like the capital never sleeps," he mused, his eyes scanning the lively scene.Atheria, sitting beside him, nodded in agreement. "The capital is as bustling as the last time I was here," she observed, a hint of nostalgia in her voice as she recalled her previous visits.As their carriage joined the slow-moving procession toward the city gates, Xander leaned forward, his metal helmet concealing his features. I
The Last Blood Mage Another one who loves Atheria
The prince stepped out of the carriage with a regal grace that captivated the onlookers. He was the epitome of royal elegance, with his neatly styled dark hair, sharp features, and a well-built physique that suggested both strength and nobility. His attire was equally impressive – a finely tailored suit that bore the royal crest, accentuating his authoritative presence.The crowd, still abuzz with excitement, began to whisper among themselves. "Did you see that teleportation? She must be from the Mage Guild," one person speculated in awe."Never seen anything like it! A real mage in action!" another chimed in, their voice laced with a mixture of wonder and curiosity.As the prince made his way through the throng of guards, his eyes fixed on Atheria, who stood holding the little boy. From the crowd, Xander watched the scene unfold with a mix of irritation and concern. "You just had to use magic, didn't you?" he muttered under his breath, knowing well the attention it would draw.The pr
The Last Blood Mage Assassin Guild’s Action
Xander and Atheria huddled in the shadows of a narrow alleyway, away from the bustling streets. The city's vibrant night life provided them the perfect cover to discuss their next move."We need a solid plan to get inside the castle," Xander began, his voice low and serious. "The prince's invitation gives us an opening, but we can't just stroll in through the front gates."Atheria nodded, her mind racing with possibilities. "We could claim to be responding to the prince's invitation," she suggested. "But once inside, we'll need a way to split up. You'll need to find the king without drawing too much attention."Xander rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "The castle will be heavily guarded. We need to blend in. Maybe we can disguise ourselves as part of the staff or the nobility attending any ongoing event."Atheria considered this. "That could work. But we also need an exit strategy. If things go south, we can't be trapped inside."They spent the next hour detailing every aspect of their pl
The Last Blood Mage Darius, The Assassin
In the heart of Emberlyn, nestled among ordinary buildings, was the Assassin's Guild, a place shrouded in secrecy and whispers. To the untrained eye, the building appeared as a mundane blacksmith's shop, but behind its walls lay the hidden world of Emberlyn's most feared assassins. A secret entrance, cleverly disguised as a forge, led to the guild's inner sanctum.The guild hall was a stark contrast to its plain exterior, with dark wooden panels and dim lighting that created an atmosphere of mystery and danger. Weapons of all kinds adorned the walls, and the air was thick with the scent of oil and steel.At the center of this hidden world sat the Guild Leader, a formidable figure known for his cunning and ruthless efficiency. His cold, calculating eyes surveyed the room, missing nothing. He was flanked by his most trusted assassins, their faces shrouded in shadow.A young assassin, with fiery red hair and piercing blue eyes, stood before the Guild Leader. His name was Darius, one of t
The Last Blood Mage Trap for Xander
As Xander and Atheria made their way into the castle, they were immediately struck by the lavish decorations that adorned the interior. Rich tapestries hung from the walls, and the air was filled with the melodious sound of a string quartet playing in the background. Nobles from all over Emberlyn had gathered here, the castle buzzing with the excitement of Prince David's birthday celebration.Atheria, skillfully blending into the crowd, picked up snippets of conversations as she navigated through the throngs of nobility. She overheard a group of well-dressed ladies in elaborate gowns whispering among themselves."Have you heard about Duke Marvin's rule in Mooncrest?" one of them asked, her voice tinged with concern. "They say his grip is as tight as iron. There's talk of resistance fighters rising against him."Another lady, her hair adorned with jewels, chimed in, "Oh, but that's not all. Duchess Celina of Krovian is making quite the stir with her progressive laws. It's the talk of t
The Last Blood Mage An attempt on the King's life
The battle between Xander and Darius reached a fever pitch, their movements a blur of agility and lethal intent. Just as Xander was about to counterattack, the hall's grand doors burst open, and two noble children stumbled in, their wide eyes filled with curiosity.As they entered, the thick black smoke enveloped them, causing them to cough and cry. Reacting instantly, Xander ceased his attack and dashed towards the children. He scooped them up in his arms, shielding their faces from the smoke with his cloak.Darius, perched on the window sill, paused and looked at the scene unfolding before him. A hint of frustration crossed his face as he realized the interruption. "Seems like you got lucky today, thanks to these kids," he called out, his voice tinged with resignation.Xander, holding the children close, glared at Darius but said nothing. The assassin sighed and swiftly leapt out of the window, disappearing into the night.With the immediate threat gone, Xander quickly exited the ha
The Last Blood Mage Getting a powerful ally and an enemy
Xander, his expression serious, turned to the king. "Your Majesty, we need a more private and secure place to discuss this."King Richard nodded solemnly and led Xander to a well-guarded safe room. Once inside, the king locked the door behind them and exhaled deeply. "It's high time I understand the full scope of this Hidden Hands organization," he said.Xander began to unveil the extensive and insidious reach of the Hidden Hands, speaking in a tone that resonated with grim knowledge. "The Hidden Hands aren't just a group of power-hungry nobles; they are a massive, shadowy organization with tentacles stretching across kingdoms."The king listened intently, his expression turning to one of shock and concern. "They've orchestrated significant political upheavals, including the assassination of a king and the manipulation of a duke's rise to power. Their ability to alter the political landscape is terrifyingly efficient."Xander paused, letting the weight of his words sink in. "They wer
The Last Blood Mage David's Plan
When David returned to his room, the shadows seemed to cling to him, reflecting the dark tempest within. Charles, his right-hand man and royal guard, awaited him, his imposing figure framed by blonde hair and a neatly trimmed goatee."Your Highness, how did the audience with the lady mage fare?" Charles inquired with a smirk, already sensing the outcome.David's fists clenched in fury as he paced. "She had the audacity to reject me, Charles. A prince! She prefers some unknown scoundrel over me!"Charles chuckled, his voice laced with malice. "Ah, the nerve of some people. But we have ways to correct such... misunderstandings, don't we?"David stopped pacing, a cruel smile twisting his features. "Exactly. If she won't come willingly, we'll just have to persuade her. She wouldn't be the first to learn the error of refusing me."Recalling similar past incidents, Charles nodded in agreement. "Do you recall Lady Elise? The terror in her eyes eventually turned to resignation. And that peasa
