Chapter 10: Ascending Sun
The heavy door opened for Tara and she stepped into the hall. The fire lamps hanging on the pillars and wall of the hall all lit up as one, burning in different multicolored fires that cast the whole surroundings in a soft ethereal atmosphere.
She walked steadily on the smooth cobbled floor of the hall with the feeling that someone was beside her, giving her moral support, but she knew it was not really so. Two rows of tall, wide chairs lined both sides of the hall, and she passed through them till she arrived before the raised platform up front where a wooden throne-like chair sat.
Tara stood before the chair for long moments, picturing her grandmother seated regally on the seat and giving out commands. The tears trailed slowly down her cheek, and deep sorrow encompassed her. For long moments she stood there, crying until her heart felt empty.

Peru groaned hard as he came to.A splitting headache hit him, making his head bang like there was a blacksmith hitting iron against an anvil within his head. Some people were shouting, he thought, as he struggled to open his eyes.Peru finally opened his eye, only to be lost for long seconds. He was in the middle of a raging battle.“Awake boy?” A voice asked and a face looked down at him. It was Uncle Kunle.The whole event in the corridor slammed back at him.“You’re just right on time,” Uncle Kunle was saying.

Scar jerked up from the bed, sweating heavily. “Father!” he screamed, rushing to find his father… to save him… or anything.A hand held Scar firmly, and he struggled hard against his assailant.“Darell.”It was like cold water poured upon him, jolting him to full wakefulness.

Simi was sitting on the bed beside him, and a middle-aged Omega servant, Moses.Scar groaned at the splitting headache that hit him, raising a hand to his head.“Young master, are you all right?” Moses held him by the sides and asked.“Don’t call me that…” Scar hissed, pushing Moses’s hands off him as he struggled to his feet.“Darell…” Simi tried to stop him from standing, but seeing he would not accept, she supported him to his feet. “You need to rest Darell,&rd

It was totally dark. Everyone apart from the guards on watch and patrol had probably gone to sleep when Scar picked his body slowly, standing to his feet. He groaned, staggering for a moment before he got a feel of his feet.Scar could not think coherently at the moment. Reno was gone!He had called for him, felt for him all through the torture with Alpha Toni, but nothing came forth. There was only darkness where Reno should have been, and then the agony from the torture felt ten times what it usually was.Scar slowly made his way home. Simi would have been worried sick about him.Despite that it was night, everywhere was dimly lit with yellow electric bulbs, making nothing hidden to the guards who sniggered as he stepped out of the warriors training building and trudged home. The lights began to get dim as he headed towards the outskirt, to the area where the servants and Omegas lived. Most of the light bulbs had spoilt hence the near darkness in these

The scimitars flowed one into another as she struck at the beast in front of her, fast. The weapons were like an extension of her hands, and with the addition of her magic she was once again in her element; at one with the world. Her skin glowed gold where the arcane marks appeared, signifying the magic running through her like opium and almost making her giddy. But she held the magic tight to her with powerful control born from years of training and discipline. She feinted to the right as the beast struck for her face, its inhuman growl accompanied by a scent of earth. It knew it was fighting a losing battle and

The whole house had been noisy ever since her grandmother died, too loud for her liking.To say that when her grandmother was still alive she spent every day wishing for anything other than the deathly quiet that usually filled the halls and grounds of their mansion.
