Rakia's POV
"Mmm! This, without a single shred of doubt, is one of the best swiss rolls I've ever had in my life!" Richard stuffed two more of the puffy pastry in his mouth, prompting Lula to bring out a second tray of baked treats.
The boys and I occupied the sofa in Granark's small but cozy living room. I picked up a pastry from the tray in front of us and took a hearty bite. The vanilla cream filling gently oozed onto my tongue. "Wow, this is really good, Lula."
Her pointy ears perked up at the compliment. "I told you you'd love them," she beamed.
Taking a bite of my second roll, my eyes suddenly flickered up to meet Granark's intense stare. I swallowed the pastry in my mouth. "Is something wrong?"
He hesitated a bit. "No. It's just... you loo

Adrian's POV"Don't tell me you still haven't found a way to kill the girl!" I tightened my water tentacle around Lohan's neck. His face had turned red and his eyes looked like they were ready to pop out of their sockets."I'm sorry, King Adrian," he managed to squeak. "We've tried everything in our power and we're still doing so.""It's not enough!" My voice boomed in the temple. "Your power is not enough!" I flung the man across the room, startling the few council members with us.The water tentacle pooled onto the floor. My anguish at everything happening in my life was beginning to eat into my heart. "Find a way," I spoke in threatening tone. "I don't care how you do it, but find or create a spell that can let me kill Araknee! Because if you don't..." my eyes locked on Lohan's face.

A week laterClifford's POVWater splashed ferociously against the rock I sat on, watching one of Rakia's intense training sessions. It was all she and Granark have doing these past days.At her command, water swarmed past Rakia, slashing down five of Granark's magical wooden puppets in one swing."She's getting pretty good at this," I said to the wizard who sat a few feet away from me."Eeh," Granark scoffed, setting his scrolls aside to fold his arms. "She's still not fast enough.""You're joking right?" I gaped at the old man. "She has destroyed half of your entire fleet." I pointed at the numerous wooden contraptions floating on the water. "An

Rakia's POV "I don't know about this, Rakia." Clifford looked down at the water with an eerie look on his face. "It looks dangerous.""No, it's not." I pulled off my dress."What if something bad happens?" He turned around, eyes widening at the sight of me in just my underwear, then he turned back to the water with a red face."Nothing bad will happen," I giggled at his reaction. "Besides I control water, remember?" Stuffing my clothes into a bag, I tossed it at Clifford and he let out a tiny shriek, which made me laugh some more."If I die," he spoke in a threatening tone. "It'll be on you.""You're not going to die, dummy." I swatted his arm. "Now go change."He shuffled away, cradling

Rakia's POV Two days later. The evening sky was set ablaze with a variety of stars. Some big, some small, each one sparkling in their own special way. It reminded me of how small I was on this planet. I sat alone on the thatched roof of the cottage, replaying today's training sessions over and over in my head. Earlier this afternoon. A group of puppets launched at me with axes and hatchets. Before they could thrust their weapons, I slashed them down with a water tentacle and headed straight for the gong beater they were to protect. Once I hit that thing, I would complete the task for today's training session. Granark stood on the othe

Rakia's POV Richard took the bag full of swiss rolls Lula offered and buried his entire face inside, inhaling the wonderful smell of the pastry. "Aaaahhh," he exhaled. "I'm definitely going to miss your cooking, Lula." "Of course, you will." She gave him a hug. "No one cooks better than me in the entire universe." "You're a hundred percent right about that," Richard chuckled, patting her on the back. I stood at the doorway of the cottage, dreading every moment that led to my impending departure. Time had gone by too fast for my liking. A hand suddenly clamped on my shoulder and I turned to find Granark behind me, dressed in a full robe and hol

Rakia's POV Luca's hooves hit the ground with a rhythmic tempo, that I happily distracted myself with, in order to prevent an emotional breakdown. Granark and I had been riding for almost two hours now, but it felt like an eternity to me. "Let's take a break here!" The old man yelled over his shoulder, slowing down his horse. "We have little ground left to cover. If all goes well, we'll arrive at the boundary before noon." Tugging on my horse's reins, Luca came to a smooth stop at a small creek. He put his lips in the running water as I jumped off him. "Oh, my back hurts like hell!" Granark groaned, taking a seat on a nearby boulder. "Lesson one for aging: Never ride a horse."

Clifford's POV "I can't believe you didn't tell her how you feel!" Richard punched my arm. I ignored the throbbing pain and replied, "It wasn't the right time, Richard." "The right time?" My younger brother shot me an incredulous look. "You do realise that that was our last moment with her, right?" Tightening my grip on the reins, I steered Hero onto a different pathway, trying to widen the gap between me and Richard. I didn't want to give much thought to Rakia's departure, because the more I thought about it, the more it hurt. Richard covered the gap in a few minutes. "Look, I know you think this decision you took is the best. But c'mon Cli

Rakia's POV My head thumped like a base drum and the frequent jostles made it hurt even more, as I lifted my head up. "Auugh..." "Well, it's about time you woke up." My vision wobbled, but after a few seconds of intense blinking, it became stable, granting me a clear view of Granark shackled to wooden boards. My heart jumped in fear. "Wh-where are we?" I tried moving my hands, only to find them bound in some metal contraptions fixed to the wooden walls of a wagon. The reality of everything hit me like a rock. "No, no, no! They kidnapped us?" Granark nodded regretfully. "When I woke up, we were already on the move. I have absolutely no idea where they're taking us." The wagon jostled up and down again on what I guessed
