Drake
Fortunately, I have taken the necklace off me, and I have it somewhere very well kept, so I do not have to worry about that.
All the way, I think about what to do. Where can I hide the papyrus so that they do not find it? I do not know what is written on it, but they will surely understand a lot from it if it falls into the wrong hands. There is a big chance everything will be revealed, and I'm sure it will cost me my life. But I have no other choice. I am forced to take the risk, and whatever is to be done will be done.
For a start, I have to find a way out.
I leave the village and slow down a bit, looking around seeking a solution. I do not know what I am looking for either myself.
Suddenly I see a small clump of pine trees, and I come up with an idea.
Before I go there, I look around and fortunately no one is coming. I make my way to the clump with quick steps. I go deeper into the trees and start looking for trunks th

DrakeI get up to my feet and see her running towards me in panic, shouting, "Are you okay? I am so sorry; I did not mean to. You scared me."I get even more furious and yelling at her back:"And does that mean whoever scares you his life is in danger? Are you crazy, lassie? What do you want for that devil thing you are holding?"I feel my blood boiling with anger, and I clench my hands in fists. I am so angry that I think I could grab that girl by the neck.I see her approaching me more and more. But now, her treatment has changed, and she gets close to me in an aggressive mood.When she arrives in front of me, and I see her clearly; her beauty overwhelms me, and especially her green eyes.

DrakeI make a move to pick the papyrus up from the floor without intending to read it, but my mother bends down and grabs it first."Nooo!" she cries fearfully."I just wanted to pick it up. I did not intend to read it. You are pale, mother. What is wrong? Why do not you tell me?""Please, son, do not make it more difficult. I cannot tell you. Forgive me," she tells me, wrapping the papyrus tightly and hiding it in her bosom, muttering that at the first opportunity, she will throw it into the fire."Okay, mother, it does not matter. Will you give me the meat now? David is waiting for it.""Who is David?" my mother asks me."He is the villager who owns the meat. I heard him saying that he will not have the time to come to the castle and exchange the wheat. I took the opportunity and offered myself to go instead of him. "I see her smiling. "My smart boy!" she tells me and caresses my hair on the top of my head.

EdithEnraged, I turn my back to the rude slob who dared to treat me this way, and with significant hasty steps, I move away from him.When I get far enough, I hide behind a thick trunk of one of the trees scattered in the garden. I take a deep breath and try to peek as discreetly as possible so that he does not see me.I watch him take his wheelbarrow and head towards the kitchen, which, as I suddenly remember in horror, is a little further than where I was standing.The path which leads to the kitchen passes next to the tree in which I am hiding. I swallow dry and cold sweat starts to bathe me. I behaved recklessly hiding here, and now if he catches me hiding here, it will be an absolute humiliation for me. This should definitely not be done.I keep overseeing his every move to be sure that he will not spot me. I must not lose sight of him. He is getting closer and closer. I can hear his puffs as he struggles with the weight o

EdithWhen his shape disappears entirely from my field of vision, I get up and hurry to the exit of the large living room, closing the door as I had found it.I do not want to see anyone, I do not want to talk to anyone, so I head to my room to be alone. Completely alone. This is what I need now. I enter my room and lock my door.Tears have already begun to flow down my eyes... How can this happen to me?I do not want this to happen to me. I deny it.But it is not enough for only the mind but also the heart to deny it. But the heart is stubborn, it does not want to give up on what it started to feel, but that makes me suffer.But how can something like this happens so soon? So sudden? How is that possible?

Finding The Heart of Magic Chapter 14
Aida stood indecisively at the secret passage's opening, searching around for some movement from any creature of the night. The moon was in its fullness, and full of light was hanging in the sky, generously scattering its silver light. She strained her ears for a while to the darkness, and all she could hear were the sounds of the night. An owl on a branch, annoyed by the human presence, flew away. After careful research, she decided she could continue her way, and she did. She started walking fast, carefully, and with steps as quietly as possible. Only tonight's purpose prevailed in her mind, and that she had to succeed. The route she had to cover was quite long, and she had to go and return to the castle before dawn. They should not realize her absence. How would she justify it? For so many years, she had managed to hide her true identity. It is impossible now to discover her so simply, and especially now that all she wants is to help.

Aida rested her hand on the hard rock at the entrance of the cave to take a breath. She took her flask out of her leather bag and drank a few sips of water. All this effort to climb had brought her thirst. She quenched her thirst and kept her flask in the bag again. She stared into the cave, which was dimly lit by a few torches, thousands of memories flooded her mind and her eyes filled with tears of emotion. In this cave, she had lived badly, good but also delighted moments. She wiped her eyes from the tears, took a deep breath, and began to walk inward. After going some distance, she started calling her husband: «Ladon? Are you here? I have to talk to you about something very important. " She did not get an answer, and disappointment began to overwhelm her. Did she go that far for nothing? Did she risk everything and, in the end, will leave with nothing achieved? She decided to call him again: "Ladon?" At the same tim

EdithI open my eyes to the new bright day and realize that the last night did not help me feel better. I still feel a heavyweight on my chest.I feel pain inside me, and I do not know how to deal with that feeling.When I suddenly hear soft, discreet knocks on my door, I am lost in my thoughts, and I know it is my dear Una.After all these years, I have learned to recognize each time by whom the various knocks on my door are. I smile."Come in, Una," I tell her, and immediately after, she opens the door and comes in carrying clean water for my morning wash as she does every morning."You still haven't gotten out of bed?" she tells me as soon as she looks at me, but with a smile always on his lips. "Your parents are already in the dining room waiting for you for breakfast. As I was coming, I caught them being absorbed in a conversation they had, but that does not change the fact that they are waiting for you to

EdithSix eyes are pinned on me, looking at me with worry."What is the mutter, Edith? Are you okay?" my mother asks me."Yes, mother. I am fine. But I have a favor to ask.""Tell me, my child." She says, still staring at me."Can I go with Aida tomorrow to the village? I have never been to a village before. I am curious to see how it looks like down there".My mother turns her head and looks at my father, who adopts a rigorous, piercing look."I am afraid that you are not going to see one ever. Not because I forbid it, but because of the rules. Do not forget you are a princess, and I expect to behave like one," my father states firmly."Yes, father, you are right. I am sorry," I tell him, and I lower my eyes to my plate downhearted. I cannot see my food clearly. Upcoming tears blur my vision.I force myself to keep them back. I do not want my parents to see me crying."But you can g
