LOGINThunder crashed, shaking the ground under Lindaat. Ailive didn't back down; however, she glared at the goddess not happy with the turn of events. Rain poured down, drenching the two in an instant."A shower isn't going to change that you allowed this to happen," Ailive grumbled as she crossed her arms over her chest."Ailive Elispire, you need to learn that you can't speak to me that way." The goddess glared down at her, moving her hand that made Ailive fall to the ground. "You will learn respect.""Stop!!" Lindaat screamed, putting her hand out toward the goddess. She screamed when lightning struck the goddess. "Oh no.""Lindaat did you do that?" Ailive asked from the ground."She is changing. The fact that she did that without thought tells you why she is still here." The goddess fell to her knees."Please tell me I didn't kill you." Lindaat scrambled to her feet, going to the goddess."Not dead, hurting, however." The goddess chuckled as she looked up at Lindaat. "You having mixed
Lindaat stood in a room full of mist; she tried to see anything other than that. When she took a step, it was like she didn't move. She didn't understand what was happening. She knew that the magic had taken a price, and it had come from her. Also, knowing that her family was right with her, not letting her be alone. It all felt so off, like she was going further and further away from her family. Knowing that the goddess had a plan didn't change her fear that she would never see them again. That she might never know who they were when and if she woke."Lindaat you will know your family. No matter the changes that will happen. You, however, won't be on the same level as they are."Lindaat gasped when she heard the voice, knowing in a moment that it was the goddess. What changes did she mean? Things hadn't changed for her at the moment. At least she didn't think it had. She really wished the mist would go away; she didn't like feeling trapped. With that thought, the mist vanished, and s
“You are overthinking this,” Telraamon told him as he sat with him on the bench.“I am, and I’m not. Nix is pissed at the moment.” Aarshon told him, looking at the flowers around him.“I heard.” Telraamon laughed, “Sometimes we say things we really shouldn’t.”“Isn’t that the truth? I don’t recall saying anything to her that was horrible, though. I know I did say something horrible to my mother.” Aarshon sighed, knowing that he had to say he was sorry for her.“I heard that too,” Telraamon told him. “Maybe you should take Nix on a vacation. It might help her to relax a little.”“It is possible,” Aarshon told him with a smile. “We need to get things settled a little.”"I think you should tell your mother you are sorry. It matters that you understand that you were wrong, and that you spoke out of turn and hate." Telraamon held up a hand to stop him from speaking. "In that moment, it might not have felt that way, but it was. Rayne isn't going to forgive you just because you say you are s
“For the most part, if you were king, the kingdom would be turning black,” Aarmeris told him with a chuckle. “Maeve is going to see her aunt.”“Great, just great.” Aarshon glared at the floor. “Ailive isn’t herself, Lindaat isn’t waking up. Xylia is missing again. Lucian is still being weird. What the fuck!”Aarshon decided he needed to clear his mind, so he went for a walk, ending up in the garden. The one place that he knew Lindaat loved to be. He sat on the bench, looking at the flowers that grew here. She had taken care of the flowers. As he looked around, he let his mind wander.How had he let his daughters get hurt? Let his wife get so upset? Piss off his mother? Something was bugging him, and it wasn’t just that he had said the wrong thing. His family was falling apart, and it wasn’t right. Maybe they needed some time to relax. A vacation, maybe? That seemed like a strange thing to think.As he sat thinking, his mind started to clear. He thought of Nix and all the things she ha
“Let them heal,” Ehlark told her as he leaned toward her, kissing her arm, then up to her shoulder. “They will understand that you didn’t have a choice.”“I don’t know about that,” Xylia told him as she clamed with each kiss. “You though, I know you want me here.”“I will always want you,” Ehlark told her, kissing up to her neck. Then to her ear, over to her cheek. Once he found her lips, he kissed her, almost pinning her to the bed.“Eharlk, you were my light in the dark,” Xylia whispered on his lips as she kissed him dragging her nails down his bare chest.“Goddess knows I never gave up on you. I looked for you from the day I found out you went missing.” Eharlk told her, groaning when she kissed his neck, then his chest. “We can’t do this, Xylia.”“I know,” Xylia told him as she kissed him again. “It wouldn’t be proper.”Ehlark had to stop this before it went too far, but how did he do that when he knew what he wanted? This woman was what he had wanted for the past two years. Instea
He looked up when he heard someone come into the room.“Xylia?” Telraamon looked at the young woman who entered the room, looking sad and happy at the same time.“Yes, I came to check on Lindaat. To much hate in the other room. Until Ailive wakes, I don’t think Nix will want me around for a while.” Xylia walked around the bed to sit on the other side to take Lindaat’s hand. “She is warm at least.”“Yeah, she only hit her head. Aarmeris healed the wound. I think she will be fine.” Telraamon told her with a smile. “I am glad they found you, by the way.”“I am too. I didn’t like where I was. It was horrible, and it left me with no family. Nothing. I missed so much.” Xylia looked to him, then to Lindaat. “Are you two a couple?”“No,” Telraamon told her with a smile. They both turned toward the door when it opened.“Ailive!” Xylia was frozen with fear as she looked at her. Ehlark entered the room after coming to Xylias side.“Is she alright?” Ailive asked, her voice a whisper. Dakaath was
