Elanora's Truth
As Raena promised, she dropped us off at the infirmary, but was quickly called away by a servant. They needed to get ready to head off on their surveillance mission.
She left me with Elanora and the head healer, promising to see me soon for more training once she returned. A cringe ran through me at the thought. After today’s attempt on mine and Elanora’s life, I knew Raena would double her attempts to train me in hand-to-hand combat.
Thankfully the head healer seemed to be in a better mood today. He checked Elanora’s wound and with a grunt, informed me that she was healed perfectly fine.
The wound itself was barely visible. It was obvious to the both of us that my magic was getting stronger.
“And your own wound?” the healer asked me gruffly, his eyes scanning the blood stain on my own shirt.
Instinctively my body twitched away as his hands moved to inspect the wound.
“I’ll be perfectly fine,” I managed to grind out, my heart hammering

Blake stormed into my room without so much as a knock or a hello. I let my fury emanate to him, but he simply raised an eyebrow, daring me to say anything.Just by the way he moved, I could tell he was agitated. He looked like he wanted to set fire to something. The flames in his eyes raged and swirled, one definite way of knowing his emotions.Elanora lifted her head, watching Blake, her eyes wide with fear. I touched my hand to her back, soothing her and she folded herself into me, pressing her face to my stomach.“Blake,” I said with a nod, allowing sarcasm to flood my tone. “How nice of you to knock.”He stopped mid step to look at us, Elanora’s face now hidden among the folds of my dress. He gave me an odd look, his mouth twisting with an emotion that was gone before I could recognise it.“Sorry,” he mumbled, looking at his feet awkwardly. This threw me. Blake was never awkward. “I just hav
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Training with Raena
When I was knocked to the floor for what felt like the hundredth time, I realised this was the possibly the worst idea I had ever had in my entire life.My whole body burning. I was bruised everywhere… literally. I didn’t think there was a part of my body that had been spared from Pollis’ torturous training. He hadn’t been kidding when he had warned me it would be hard work.Pollis stretched out his hand to me to help me up. The indignant part of me wanted to refuse his help so I pushed it away and heaved my aching muscles up from the ground. The other half of me, chided my foolishness as my whole body screamed in agony, my muscles cramping from the effort.My breath was ragged, my face bright red and covered in a sheen of sweat. I was physically and mentally exhausted.Between researching to find a magician powerful enough to create a magic void and training with Pollis, I had never felt so tired before in my life, with only one

“Why didn’t anyone tell me all the council members were Magicians?” I managed to bite out, trying to control my rapid breathing. “And lift the damn void!”Alastair appraised me for a moment, completely ignoring my question. I wondered if he was taking in the crazy look I in my eyes and debating whether it was safe for me to have access to my magic again.I honestly didn’t care what he thought right now as I stared him down, almost daring him to challenge me.His eyes twinkled as he pulled on his own magic, and the pressure of the void eased off my shoulders.My mind quickened, allowing me to push my magic out into Raena once more, seeking her injuries. They healed before my eyes. I had never actually looked when I had healed anyone. It was strange watching the bruises fade to green, then yellow and then disappear and see the cuts magically seal up, all scars gone.My teeth snapped together, the pain excruciating
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Unexpected Declarations
“So how much did you see?” I began, unsure of where to start. Blake had followed me back to my room where Elanora lay fast asleep in my bedroom.I had checked on her before coming back out into the lounge to see Blake staring at his hands, his expression odd. Of course, he had his wall up, so I was unable to read anything from him. I wondered if he did it on purpose when he was near me.“Do you like him?” he asked suddenly, his eyes darting to my face.Frozen where I stood, unsure of what to say, my mind seemed to go blank. Did I really like him? Or was it a way to forget Deakin, to forget his betrayal and to really live a little before I possibly died? I didn’t know. Every time I was in his presence it was like I was overcome, almost intoxicated by him. Did that mean I liked it?“It’s complicated,” I chose to say, not meeting his gaze. He knew I was avoiding answering the question properly. He always

The next day, I woke with a pounding headache and my insides like jelly as they swirled around.I could barely think straight. Whatever the hell was happening between Alastair, Blake and I, the energy required to sort through that mess was certainly not within my reach.Most of it was so unexpected that a huge part of me was left paralysed. Could I trust either of them, or anyone for that matter, with my heart again after what Deakin had done?Would I even be able to physical with someone without completely breaking down?When Alastair ran his hands down my body, it sure felt like I could, but afterwards, my skin almost felt like I needed a shower to scrub away the horrible feeling left behind.Just the memory of their lips on mine had my face burning, the emotions rolling through my stomach.Eating breakfast was extremely difficult. Something I hardly ever went without, as my stomach was too busy swirling around and making me feel unwell.

“Great job, Kida,” Raena called out as I managed to get a good hit in at Pollis with the Bo in my hand.After my dismal attempt at using a sword, they had decided to give up on the idea and focus on another weapon in the hopes that I could manage to be successful.I ran my hands along the long, wooden staff as Pollis turned, his teeth bared in anger. He didn’t like me beating him. It didn’t help his case that I had so much going on right now, that this was the only way I could deal with it – with weapon in hand. I felt in control while I was training, whereas in every other part of my life, control was slipping very quickly out of my hands.My conversation with Alana had been interesting, and almost insightful. Her words played on repeat in my head for a solid few hours before I had to do something to take my mind off them.Pollis swung his own Bo, trying to take out my feet. But I jumped it easily, bringing my own weapon aro

I glared at Enda, allowing my fury to pulsate in the room. Many of the Council members were sitting right back in their seats, their eyes wide with worry. There were only four people that would meet my gaze – Enda, Blake, Alana and Alastair. It was the first time I had been in the same space with Blake and Alastair together since the incident between them, and the tension was palpable. “When were you going to tell me about the scouts?” I tried to keep my voice calm and level, trying to control the anger that was swirling around in my chest, but it tinged my words, giving them a sharp edge. A flourish of emotions fluttered across my skin, too many for my magic to determine. The Council remained silent. I glared at Alana, who lowered her eyes, her shame shocking me. I had come to her literally only a few hours ago, and she hadn’t bothered to mention it. Being treated with kid gloves was getting old now. As I scanned the members
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Parting Gift
“Grab your things,” I said softly to Elanora. Her red locks flowed down her shoulders as she gave me an angry look. After I had finally calmed myself down last night, I had told her about the plan. She wasn’t happy, just as I expected, but the decision was my own. “I am responsible for you and your welfare,” I had said to her, all the while she screwed her tiny nose up at me. I just want to stay with you, she had argued. You will keep me safe. After this similar argument, which she had been stubborn about for over an hour, she had finally given in, but not easily. Her condition was that she stayed with me until it all began. I had begrudgingly agreed, but only to get her to accept the plan. I brushed her hair back gently and braided the strands into one long rope so that it resembled my own, just much longer. “Keeping you safe is the only important thing to me right now,” I said softly, trying to coax her from her bad
