The Last Blood Mage One step closer to Gabriel
Eventually, after the tumultuous events in the alleyway, Xander made his way back to the opulent mansion of the Balruk family. The grandeur of the place stood in stark contrast to the violence and chaos he had just left behind. He found Valoran Balruk waiting for him, the patriarch's expression a mix of concern and curiosity."Ah, Jonathan, there you are," Valoran began, his tone measured. "I've been meaning to speak with you, especially after these recent attacks on my daughter. It's a relief to see her in safe hands."Xander nodded, maintaining his composed demeanor. "Carmella's safety is my priority, Sir. These are dangerous times, and I assure you, I am doing everything I can to protect her."Valoran paced slowly, his hands clasped behind his back. "I've heard of your bravery and skills, Jonathan. But I realize I know little about you. Tell me, where is your family from?"Careful not to reveal too much, Xander replied, "I'm an orphan, Sir. I've had to fend for myself from a young
The Last Blood Mage Atheria's Reflection
Standing outside the safehouse under the starry sky, Atheria found herself lost in a sea of thoughts. The night was quiet, but her mind was anything but. She gazed at the stars, their distant twinkle mirroring the turmoil inside her."I never thought it would come to this," Atheria whispered to herself, her voice barely audible. She thought back to the moment Xander had confessed his feelings for her, a moment filled with vulnerability and honesty. She remembered how she had rejected his proposal, not ready to confront her own feelings, or perhaps afraid of what they might mean.Xander had taken her rejection so calmly, seemingly unaffected. But now, seeing him with Carmella, a pang of discomfort, a twinge of jealousy, crept into her heart. His words, though said in jest, about marrying Carmella, echoed in her mind, stirring emotions she wasn't ready to acknowledge."Why does it bother me so much?" she mused, her gaze still fixed on the night sky. "Is it because I care for him more th
The Last Blood Mage Gabriel's Location
In the cover of night, under a veil of secrecy, Valoran Balruk met with his trusted spies in a secluded area away from prying eyes. The air was thick with anticipation as the Balruk elders, cloaked in shadows, gathered around. They were about to receive information that could potentially shift the balance of power in their favor.One of the spies, a man with sharp features and a guarded demeanor, stepped forward. "We've located Gabriel," he announced in a hushed tone. "He's being held in a secret prison, well-guarded and isolated. It's in the northern outskirts of the city, disguised as an abandoned warehouse."Valoran's eyes narrowed as he processed the information. "An abandoned warehouse, you say? Clever," he muttered. "How secure is the location?""It's heavily guarded, both inside and out," another spy added. "Breaking him out will be no easy task."One of the elders, his face lined with age and wisdom, chimed in. "We don't necessarily need to break him out. Just knowing where he
The Last Blood Mage A Way In
In the dim light of early dawn, Atheria and Berek approached the warehouse where Gabriel was rumored to be held. The area was desolate, with the decrepit building standing isolated, its facade betraying no hint of the secrets within. They found a concealed vantage point a safe distance away, allowing them a clear view of the warehouse and its surroundings.Atheria, her eyes scanning the area, whispered to Berek, "See those guards? Two at the entrance, just like the spies said. And there's a patrol circling the perimeter every ten minutes."Berek, peering through a pair of binoculars, nodded. "Yeah, and look at the watchtowers. Two of them, one on each side. They have a good view of the approaches. Getting in won't be easy."Atheria focused her attention on the building itself. "There's more to this place than meets the eye. See those symbols etched onto the walls? They're part of a magical array, likely for detection or defense."Berek squinted, trying to make out the details. "Magica
The Last Blood Mage Another Rejection
The night air was crisp as Atheria and Berek returned to where Xander awaited their report. Under the cloak of darkness, the urgency of their mission felt even more palpable."We've got a way in," Berek began, his voice laced with a mix of excitement and apprehension. He unfolded the ledger, revealing the detailed notes they had acquired.Atheria took over, pointing to specific entries in the ledger. "Gav, the carriage driver, makes regular deliveries to the prisons. We can use his route to get inside. But there's more.""Turns out, there's a possibility prisoners are being transferred between locations," Berek continued, his finger tracing along the dates and routes. "This includes Gabriel. If we're going to find him, we need to act fast."Xander absorbed the information, his mind already racing with plans and possibilities. "So, we intercept the carriage, take Gav's place, and get inside. We'll need to be careful. One wrong move could blow our cover.""They have magical defenses, to
The Last Blood Mage Rescue Mission
Xander slipped away from the Balruk estate under the guise of night, his thoughts focused on the mission ahead. The moon hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the cobblestone streets as he made his way to the rendezvous point. The plan was set, and every moment counted.Cloaked in darkness, Xander, Atheria, and Berek huddled together in an abandoned building, going over the details one last time. "Remember, stealth is key. We can't afford to raise any alarms," whispered Atheria, her eyes scanning the layout of the prison they had meticulously mapped out.Berek handed Xander a compact crossbow and several bolts. "Just in case," he said in a low tone. "But let's hope we don't have to use it."Nodding, Xander tucked the weapon into his belt and pulled his hood tighter around his face. "If things go south, I'll switch to Plan A. You two focus on finding Gabriel."The trio set off, each moving with the silence and precision of seasoned operatives. They approached the disguised w
The Last Blood Mage Atheria vs Caelum
In the dimly lit cell block, Atheria quickly realized the gravity of her situation – it was a trap. She faced Caelum, her expression composed despite the sudden turn of events. "Where is Gabriel?" she demanded, her voice steady.With a sly grin, Caelum lightly brushed the neck of his eagle, Skye, who was perched on his shoulder. "You should have been more discreet with your planning," he taunted. "Eavesdropping is quite easy when you have eyes and ears like Skye here."Atheria retorted, her tone laced with a hint of sarcasm, "So, you can connect your mind with that eagle, huh? Neat trick."Caelum's expression turned serious as he explained his deal with Marvin. "Capturing you and your Blood Mage friend comes with its rewards. Noble status, an estate, a monopoly over the wine trade – all for handing you over. It would be wise for you to surrender without a fight."Atheria chuckled, a confident glimmer in her eye. "Unlike last time, I'm not injured. And I'm not alone." She took a slow,
The Last Blood Mage Unusual Hostage
The battle between Atheria and Caelum, intensified by Skye's aerial attacks, continued with unabated ferocity. Atheria, realizing the need to end the confrontation quickly, sought an opening to gain the upper hand. However, Caelum's skill and the unexpected assistance from Skye kept her on the defensive.As they clashed, Caelum shouted over the din of their battle, "You'll never find Gabriel without my help! Surrender now, and I'll tell you where he is!"Atheria, while deflecting another dive from Skye, shot back, "And why should I trust the word of a mercenary?"With a mix of frustration and cunning in his voice, Caelum replied, "Because without Gabriel, King Richard is as good as dead. The information he holds is crucial, and you know it!"Atheria's mind raced. The stakes were higher than ever. She needed to find Gabriel to protect King Richard, but she couldn't allow herself to be captured. Her bowstring sang as she released another arrow, narrowly missing Caelum, who deflected it
