My father turned toward me and nodded in response. He then looked toward the Finders and threw somethin
I knew that we were not safe, especially if the King of the North had sent them. “Please!” I shouted. “I will go with you. Don’t kill anyone! Let my father go, and I will be whatever you want me to be!” Even though that was not what I wanted, I had to do it because I would rather sacrifice myself th

~Lyrielle~ “Where are we going?” I indulged the masked woman in another conversation as she finished dressing the bandage around me, but I received no response. Instead, she draped a cloak around my body. It fell past my shoulders and covered my face. It was so large that I felt hidden, swallowed b
~Lyrielle~ My eyes fluttered open to a blinding light stabbing into them. It was as sharp as a blade, and I quickly closed my eyes to adjust to the brightness. This was the netherworld; I was sure of it. I remembered the fire claiming me, and I should be dead, but then, as I shifted, I felt the sof
