“Aunt, we are here.” Jack announced as he stood at the door holding the baskets along with Mira.

Anne-Marie came running as always with Aunt Beth coming out wiping her hands on the apron.

Mira had bought Dax along with them and handed him to Anne-Marie. This would keep the little girl occupied.

“Aunt, there is something I need to talk to you about.” Mira spoke in a serious tone and literally dragged Beth out of the house along with Jack. Just as they were about to start talking, Mira saw Uncl

  • Second chance at happiness   No… not impossible.

    “Well done!” Cornelius patted Leal’s shoulder before turning to Zelda, “what are you missing?”“Nothing… and that’s the problem.” Zelda shook her head “The potion, once ingested is meant to melt and thaw internal organs when it reaches the heart. The speed depends on the person’s health.”She exhaled slowly before continuing, “When master and mistress were attacked, I was summoned quickly. I managed to stop the spread by freezing time and bringing them here… I cannot hold time for more than ten minutes.”“Once I identified the poison, we tracked down its source and have been working on an antidote ever since. But the problem is… we can only neutralize one element.”Her shoulders sagged.“And doing so only accelerates the spread of the other.”“What if we awake Alex, give him the antidote, freeze him again before the other element flares up?” Baldwin asked, unsure if he was making sense, but this was the only thing he could think of. He couldn’t stay silent.Zelda shook her head “Once

  • Second chance at happiness   Eagle and Shadow Soul have brought the cubs back to pay their respects.

    Leonie raised her head to look at the young man beside her, not realizing that she was looking at the sovereign of the land.She blushed as she saw him looking at her with a smile. He was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen… the gentleness in his eyes and the soft curl of his lips as he looked at her… it felt as though his smile was meant just for her. Her young heart fluttered, faster than a bee in flight.The darkness below seemed to pulse, as though reminding her just how little stood between safety and falling.Her fingers loosened… then tightened again.Indecision…Awareness.And something else… something far more dangerous than the drop beneath them.Slowly… cautiously… she shifted her hand.Not quite reaching… not quite refusing.Just enough that the space between them felt suddenly charged… fragile, like the narrow path beneath their feet.Orseus did not move to close the distance.Did not rush… did not push.For once… he waited.“Keep moving…” Leal nudged gently, notic

  • Second chance at happiness   Would you like to hold my hand?

    Mira shivered as she felt the cold air biting into her bones. She moved closer to Jack, who hugged her instinctively, enveloping her in his warm embrace.“The blindfolds can come off.” Taro’s voice echoed through the space, a calming melody to the frozen souls.One by one, they obeyed, pulling off their blindfolds and hugging themselves or their partners, for warmth.Once the blindfolds came off, their reactions were perfectly synchronized. They stared around in frozen awe… frozen both physically and mentally.They were in an ice cave, and it was nothing short of magical, even though they had no idea that they were several feet underground.The walls and ceilings looked like reverse bubbles, some surfaces so smooth, they gleamed like crystals. Even the ice formations were enchanting; they shimmered everywhere, icicles, ice draperies, frozen streams glowing faintly beneath the surface, jagged stalagmites rising like sculptures.It looked more like a crystal castle than a cave, especial

  • Second chance at happiness   I’ve never lit a fire I couldn’t put out.

    The next hour was a rush, spent organizing everyone’s travel details. It wasn’t an easy feat, coordinating more than twenty people, and that too incognito. But Harrison’s skills were no joke. They had been honed in the fires of service to the Haribeorts.Within the hour, two travel carriages stood waiting at the back gate, disguised as ordinary wagons, the kind used by commoners for long-haul journeys across the kingdom. Inside, however, they were fitted for nobility, complete with every creature comfort the era had to offer.Leal took the rider’s seat of one, while Taro rode the other. Everyone except Jack and Jerome was blindfolded.Although Jack didn’t want Mira blindfolded, he eventually gave in to her insistence. She didn’t want this to become the seed of a grudge, one that could strain a friendship that had endured decades, surviving even distance and long silences.It wasn’t reasonable to keep everyone blindfolded for the entire day-long journey, so they agreed on a compromise.

  • Second chance at happiness   You know who I am?

    “So, we are not the youngest anymore… ha…ha…ha…” Axel was the first to burst out laughing, breaking everyone from their reverie.Taro glanced at the younger version of his mischievous young master and grinned as he retorted with affection, “Nay, that position is still yours to keep. Leonie is older than you by 6 months.”“You know who I am?” Axel asked, his eyes wide as a saucers.“Sot!” Avril rolled her eyes.Taro chuckled, “How could I not?”Axel grinned sheepishly as he realized the folly of his question. He slowly took two steps back which sent everyone into laughter again, easing Leonie’s nerves.“You… you are Jack’s sister?” Orseus, who was slow to catch on, stammered as he came out of his stupor.“You really are his sister?” He didn’t wait for an answer. He burst out laughing, looking like he had won the world. However, his happiness didn’t last long. Another thought crossed his mind and he stopped abruptly, turning towards his father.His expression twisted between anger and ho

  • Second chance at happiness   Whatever their judgement, it must be fair under the law of the land.

    Silence took over the breakfast table, looming over like judgement itself.Jerome was the first to break it. “Prison time cannot be negotiated. As for the rest, it is open for discussion. By the rest, I mean whether to be re-sold as a common slave, sold to the brothel, or even release without the label of slave, it is all negotiable.”He lifted a hand to silence Martin and Oden as he saw them shift, their demeanour expressing that they were about to voice their opinion.“I am not saying that she is above the law and that her relationship to you excuses her behaviour but…...that also does not take away value from your services.”Jerome continued “Their involvement in the kidnaping warrants prison time, there is no argument about that. Whether their actions can be interpreted as treason is another matter entirely. And considering your contributions, despite not being trained or called upon, cannot be overlooked. Their association can be explained as nothing more than being manipulated.”
