Sisters Of Darkness

Portly Clarissa for the third time passed along the wards lined up in a row. The pupils of the orphanage froze and tried not to raise their eyes from the half-rotten floorboards. I tried to remember all my sins over the past few days, because they didn’t bother to explain to us what they would reprimand for this time. To be fair, there were a huge number of these very sins for me. I could not be humble, courteous, diligent, like my best friend Ines. Dope, as Clarissa liked to say, did not stay in my head and climbed out to poison the lives of those around me. Unfortunately, it wasn't bullshit, but something worse.A few years ago, I began to have very strange dreams, and a little later, terrible things began to happen to my body. For some time I thought that I was terminally ill or even poisoned by a curse. The fact that this is a fiction, and in fact, curses do not exist, I learned much later. It was the fear that had firmly settled in my head that awakened in me a thirst to get to t

I ran like crazy as if I was being chased by the henchmen of the underworld, and almost flew over the fence when I realized that I had missed the grand event, namely the arrival of the inspectors. In the yard of the shelter there were several carriages, and some people were scurrying back and forth. Among the strangers, one man with blue-black hair stood out in particular; a cloak of the same color was thrown over his shoulders, on which a raven was embroidered with silver threads. Such cloaks are worn by members of the Order of Darkness.At the sight of this raven, my heart began to beat faster. Here he is, a man who can answer all my questions, a man who will understand me like no other. Only retribution for the answers I can not afford. My gaze caught on a familiar silhouette, and I decided it was best to scout the area first before appearing like this in front of Clarissa's eyes.“Craig,” I called quietly to our watchman.“There you are, you stupid head,” Craig scolded, he was cle

A century and a half ago, a series of events took place that forever changed the fate of many residents of Littai. King Sieverd the Fourth died, leaving no legitimate heir behind. But there were more than enough illegal ones, the king was famous for his love of love and had about two dozen bastards from different women. One of these women was the daughter of an influential person from the Eastern Islands, whose inhabitants led a fairly secluded life and almost never left their homeland. To this day, there are rumors that gifted people who are subject to various elements live there. Zeina was a rare beauty with slanted eyes and a very feminine figure, she managed to stay at court and in the bed of the king for a long time, gossip whispered that Sieverd had decided to marry and was even going to recognize their common son. The son, like his father, was incredibly popular with the ladies of the court. By his coming of age, which came at the age of sixteen, Marner became the absolute favo

Three years laterToday is a significant day for me, for the first time in the last three years I was able to materialize the Klindar. This is the personal weapon of every dark one, consisting only of inner darkness. They say that before every second dark one knew how to call him. It was with this weapon that the Daughters of Darkness slew their enemies in the last war, for there is no defense against the Klindar, and no spell or armor can stop him. All I got was a small, crooked dagger that didn't last even a minute, but for all of us it was like a miracle. So far, no one has succeeded except me and Helen. The only time I saw Helen was when she and Lady Holm picked me up from the orphanage. I didn't like her right away, maybe because of her contemptuous look, or maybe because of the abundance of hateful embroidery on her expensive clothes.Kane went wild with joy when I almost stabbed him with my summoned blade. I didn’t expect this from myself, all previous attempts failed miserably

The next two weeks will stretch on forever for me. At dawn, I went to training, where Kane exhausted me to the state of a corpse and did not let go until I lost consciousness. This is how one could determine the complete depletion of the internal reserve. After a short respite and a hearty lunch, I studied with Lady Holm for several hours, it was necessary to adopt Helen's habits and habits. In addition, Lady Amalia tried to instill in me some aristocratic manners and taught me etiquette. It turned out to be an even greater challenge than training with a mentor.Tonight, I again crawled to bed in complete impotence, and, barely touching the pillow, went into the world of dreams. For the first time in several years, I dreamed of the forest and the Darkness. Not the one that lives in our bodies, but something much more, an essence that we are not given to know. Previously, I tried to ask Venira, Lane and Kane about these dreams, and found out only that they had never had anything like t
