Anestra and Sable
Cory saw a patch of green grass in the distance. There was still darkness behind her. She felt as though she were swimming out of a deep ocean of shadows and into a shimmering sea of green. The golden aura had returned to guide her forwards. It pushed her right into the scene. She found herself sitting quite comfortably in the grass. The blades of grass were

Full and luminous. she adorned the sky along with the glistening stars. Cory liked to imagine that the night sky was an endless ballroom floor made of dark marble. The stars of the ballroom, who were the dancers of course, all wor

Chapter 9:A Dweller Named SproutCory had incited the Omniscient Oak Tree to provide its tenth answer in the last thousand years and every creature of the jungle seemed to instinctively know this. The moment the burning five-word message had appeared etched into the bark, the jungle sprang to life. Wild cats growled, birds squeaked, the leaves of every nearby tree rustled. The air grew inexpl

After a few long moments, during which Blaython deliberated and Sprout sweated nervously, the magnanimous tiger decided to befriend the tiny dweller. Blaython confirmed this friendship with an enthusiastic lick that left Sprout drenched but relieved.

Chapter 11:King Magnus and Madame GrosseCory awoke to a sea of deep blue and vibrant gold. The colours danced before her weary eyes twisting around each other forming a kaleidoscope image. She watched the images sparkle. She was in a room where everything sparkled. It took her several minutes to piece the fragments of her memories together.

Chapter 12:The FeastThe feast was held in the courtyard after dusk. The long tables lining the four-sided expanse were draped in blue silk with gold embroideries and overladen with a variety of dishes. The familiar smells of freshly baked rolls, steamed fish and roasted chickens intermingled with the more exotic aromas of spiced wild meat and rare cheeses. An oval table had been placed at the centre of the courtyard. It was a highly visible spot and therefore a place of prominence.
Property of the Alpha Prince Chapter 13: The Farewell
Chapter 13: The FarewellThere was a silence so heavy Cory felt it pressing down on her resolve. She almost wanted to beg Hayden to stay the night now but she fought the urge as that would ruin her plan. Her heart swelled. She was so moved by his gesture. He meant to care for her no matter what, even after death if need be. She waited hoping he would say yes and hold her tonight and also needing him to say no and leave her be.“I want that,” murmured Hayden into her hair.He inhaled her scent deeply and held her close.“I want that more than anything,” he said, chuckling sadly.He pressed his forehead to hers, their noses brushing. He locked eyes with her.“But I don’t want you feeling like you owe me affection in exchange for any of this,” he said, gesturing towards the deed.“I don’t,” she said

Chapter 14: Maiden’s ScentWhen Cory’s barrel was unceremoniously thrown into a horse-drawn cart, she awoke with a throbbing headache. The barrel had been placed on its side so that Cory’s only option was to lie on her side as well, adopting a foetal position. She could hear Hayden’s voice instructing the men to move out. The quest party was small. There were just eight men, including Hayden and Titan. King Magnus had chosen the most skilled warriors he could find. Cory knew each of them had undoubtedly killed dozens if not hundreds of men in battle, but Stormbringers were not men. They were great beasts born of magical means and it would take magic not muscle to eradicate them.Hayden led the men out of the kingdom’s walls amid cheering from the castles residents who had gathered outside to send them off. His father was amongst them. He looked solemn and regarded Hayden with merely a curt nod of approval. On

Chapter 15: The Fire Weapons“You are an Enchantress. A Natural one. Born of magic not simply trained to harness it. A mere night spectre cannot stand up to you,” said Sprout, his tiny chest swelling with pride.Cory closed her eyes. The swirl of energy was in her mind this time not her hands. She concentrated her thoughts. She broke the barrel, shattering it to splinters. She stood up unharmed, Sprout on her shoulder. She was vaguely aware of Hayden’s flabbergasted expression. Blaython, being in the know, gave a happy snarl. She smiled at the tiger, trying to avoid locking eyes with Hayden who was probably furious after the initial confusion.Cory turned her eyes to Largo. She was seeing him for the first time. The gargantuan night spectre lifted the other side of his hat to glare at her with both his madly twitching eyes. He jeered at her, his skin stretching backwards to reveal his jagged-toothed smile. One of
