Chapter 110
FALINE practically bounced on the balls of her heels with impatient energy. She stood near the edge of the budding village, another two huts and shelter for the farm animals completed since Faline had sensed Ailene and Hunter's approaching presence. Her gaze focused in the distance, across the forest blanketed in a dense white fog. Faline casually wondered if Ailene had somehow brought the mist down from the mountains with them.
With her ability to see through the mist, she could see them now, walking at a steady pace and trailed after by a familiar man and a few followers. It was Hēdin, she realized. He probably went to get Ailene and Hunter when Faline sent him a message a three days ago through the Faerie.
Ailene was stylish in pure white as ever. The fur coat that hugged her thin curves peeking out from her travel cloak. She moved like the wind, her wavy armpit length black hair was fanning behind her. She looked younger than Faline, although Ailene was much older th

WITH a single swipe of the hand, the tree trunk was cut cleanly into two like a knife cutting through the meat. It bounced on the ground before falling backwards, away from them. Another tree leaned to one side, splintered bark cracking and groaning without anyone touching it. Ailene and Hunter stepped back as the tree slowly toppled over, air gusting through quaking branches before it slammed into the ground with a thundering thud. Hunter then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand while Ailene blew a black hair out of her face as the two of them surveyed their work. This was not the first two downed tree. Logs baring clean cuts and uprooted trees were being cut up and harvested by the villagers, Hēding and a few of the Liu Tribe servants. The plan was to clear this area near the settlement for grazing and gardening once spring comes. The lumber would be used to for building material and firewood.A younger man with dirty blond hair – Kenneth, if Hunter was rememberi

FALINE was lying against the spare bedding, slightly supported by itchy blankets and a few straw pillows. Hanna’s warmed hands pressed against Faline’s bloated belly. The civilian medic's hands moved up and around Faline's stomach in almost message-like motions. It felt awkward and uncomfortable and a little invasive. Faline lightly bit her lower lip, forcing herself to stay still and not to shift away. Finally, Hanna lifted her hands and backed away.“The child is in a good position," Hanna said as a flickering frown vanished behind a professional expression.Next she checked to see whether or not Faline was dilating yet. That was even more awkward and uncomfortable and much more invasive than Hanna checking the baby’s positions.“You’ve started dilating," the woman declared. “It’s not a false call.”At those words, there was a sudden flurry of movement from Lanie and Porcis as they began gathering together all the necessarily supplies. Water was set to boil

FALINE woke to the sound of displeased baby gurgles, her heavy eyelids reluctantly fluttering open. Eyes that were a reflection of her own stared intently at her as Lucian’s hungry whimpers loudened. Faline went to move but Iwaoka's weight stopped her. His arm was locked tight around her waist, and he was laying half on top of her. It was almost like he was worried she might vanish while he slept. After a few tries, Faline managed to loosen his grip and shift free; Iwaoka rolling slightly to the side at her absence. She sat up and glanced down at her lover’s sleeping form. Her hand lightly brushed twilight bangs from his face, which even in sleep was lined with exhaustion. Usually Faline was a light sleeper but he remained unconscious despite the infant’s noise and her touch. Iwaoka had truly overextended his power to arrive as quickly as he had. Faline didn’t expect him to stir back into the realm of waking for many hours.Lucian’s hungry garble

THE sound of pen strokes on parchment filtered across the room and mingled with the crackling noise of the fire. Faline was seated at the table, writing out a list with a steady hand. She took a deep breath, the smells of ink and green tea from her still steaming cup drifting in the warmed air.“Up you go," Iwaoka's voice sounded from behind as he lightly tossed Lucian from his cradled hold and up an inch or so into the air. Happy baby gurgles, an almost laughter, chimed from the infant as he safely caught him again.“Iwaoka, he’s too young for a game like that," Faline stated as she wrote down another item on the list.“Lucian likes it," he replied instantly but soon settled his down on the futon next to her. Lucian gurgled again as he flailed his feet, while his tiny mouth formed an o-shape. Both Iwaoka’s hands reached down, a thumb brushing Lucian’s cheek as a rare warm and gentle smile lit his lips. “Do you want to fly again, Lucian?”“Iwaoka," Faline war

THE forest canopy was lush with new leaves and the first tiny buds of spring, a few patches of snow still lingering in shadowed spots. Birdsong weaved through the branches as colorful birds flew in the cool breeze. The small village hidden within the foliage was hectic with activity. Some villagers were out foraging, while some were herding the sheep and goats. Others were doing laundry, and some were working on expanding a few of the huts. Even more villagers were in the midst of preparing enough food for a feast.At the edge of all the activity, Faline shifted impatiently on the balls of her feet. Lucian was held in her arms, his little hands gripping at the pendant dangling from his mother’s neck as his blue eyes glanced at the passing villagers. Hēdin was on her left side while Iwaoka stood on her right, his boot tapping with excited energy on the fresh grass and his expression even more impatient than hers. It wasn’t too surprising; Faline had seen Hunter and Ailene a lit

CHLOE was awoken by a gentle voice calling out her name. She scrunched her eyebrows together as she slowly opened her eyes, only to close it once again when the light coming from the window blinded her.She groaned and moved her head, realizing that she was lying on her bed with the blanket covering her half body. A shadow blocked the light from the window and she sighed in relief.“Chloe, it’s already noontime. We need to go back to the Krystalline Academy now.” It was the voice of Jucel Greyn, her soft-spoken silver-haired best friend. There were shuffles around the room; Chloe could only guess that Jucel was preparing their things.“Just a bit,” Chloe rasped and proceeded to rub her eyes out of her sleep. She didn’t remember going to bed last night. All she could remember was that her foster parents and Tara of the Wild visited her. And what was that dream? She could absolutely feel all kinds of pain, grief and suffering that even until now it bothered her.

THE ride of the trip back to the Krystalline Academy was quiet. Chloe was looking out of the window with her cheek leaning against the heel of her palm while Jucel and Kieran dozed off in front of her. It was dusk when they reached the Galenus City. The sky was the combination of orange, yellow and red as the sun comes down in the horizon. Clouds covered the blue-turning-twilight canvas above them. People, adult and children alike, were still roaming around the streets of the Galenus City. The market was buzzing and alive.“Hey, Dana,” Chloe finally called out inwardly.Inside her inner core, the part where her power was cultivated, Dana raised her head and opened her eyes to look at the hovering Chloe Rein. “What do you want now?”Chloe squatted in front of Dana and wrapped her arms around her knees. “You knew Hwa Elisa as much as you know Neptos Rein, right?”Dana raised an eyebrow. “Neptos Rein had been my companion ever since I was born. That comparison a

WHILE Chloe enjoyed the silent leisure of eating with her brother Lucian and their friends, she was not entirely hidden from the attention of the awed Krystalline students. They were shamelessly staring at her once in a while, most of them trying to catch a glimpse of the infamous young 27th Blood Star that invaded the Galenus Arena under the hideous name Bella the Werewolf. While many were awestruck by that, some didn't particularly like on how she gained her fame.At the end of the second table, just across the table where Chloe and her friends were sitting, sat a group of young men and women. The girls were outrightly glaring at Chloe Rein who laughed at something that Zabdiel and Barbie Lewelyn joked about.One of them cluck her tongue. "It can't be helped. Chloe Rein is a Blood Star and thus, she can fo whatever she wants," she whispered, bitterness obvious in her tone."That's not a reason to flaunt her power and strength and kill in that arena. She's just an
