Keep Her Safe
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.

“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
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy The Battle Begins
My nerves were shot already, and the battle hadn’t even begun. I couldn’t remain still. My legs jiggled, or my fingers twitched – anything to keep my mind occupied Tori had informed me through mind-link that there was a huge army, led by a sole horseman, and they were approaching from the west of Callad. I shivered, knowing just who it would be. Tynan. This was something he couldn’t leave to chance. He would want to do it himself to make sure that it wasn’t messed up. Too many mistakes had been made already. I swallowed the panic that was beginning to build in my throat. Under me, Amber shifted nervously. I relayed Tori’s message to the others, who each reacted with differing emotions. Alana’s eyes darkened, her knuckles tightening on the reigns she held in her hands. Alastair had shuffled in the saddle, his emotions so blocked off that I couldn’t reach them even I wanted to. Jax was highly anxious. Part of it came from not knowing Tor
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Sins of the Father
Once Elanora had let loose her power and revealed her identity, everything changed. A thick air of tension blanketed over the battlefield, and desperation tinged everyone’s movements. Now there was more at stake that simply driving off the enemy, for our side, it was protecting the next Earth Magician. For the other side, it was about capturing her, or worse killing her. Out of nowhere, one of Tynan's soldiers launched at me, his sword drawn. My fingers clamoured for one of my blade and he was mere metres from me when I finally managed to throw it with with deadly accuracy. Before I could move to retrieve my blade, a strange weightlessness overcame my body. A sliver of pain began in my head before it spread throughout my body, burning me from the inside out. It wove through every muscle, every fibre of my body, sending the searing pain exploding to the forefront of all my rational thought. The world wavered in front of me, pain smashing again and agai
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Aftermath
For the next few days, I clutched at anything I could to continue breathing. The dream that I wished would be a reality, the one tiny sliver of a thought that I could fix this, was so small and out of reach. And none of it was true. The world pivoted and twisted in my grasp as memories wound their way through my dreams, changing them into nightmares. Each morning I woke screaming out her name, tears blurring my eyes and my throat raw and in agony. Every inch of it burned with a fire so excruciatingly painful, I thought it would kill me. And each time I opened my eyes from the continuous nightmares, the new reality of my world would sink in. Tynan had taken Elanora from me. And Alastair had been the one to help him do it. Alana’s smooth voice would pop into my head to update me at least once a day on the search for her and on any important information relating to her disappearance. It kept me informed but allowed me my time to wallow in my own inferior
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Confronting Deakin
It had taken all the strength within me to walk down to the dungeons and just be in the same room as Deakin. Several powerful magicians bordered the room, their magic lining the walls and keeping Deakin’s magic at bay.There were seven of them in total. As I had made my way into the room, their emotions flowed through my, my control so lost after the battle. It was obvious from the disdain in their thoughts and emotions, their feelings for their prisoner, but what I didn’t expect was their annoyance. I recognised one of the magicians as Emerus, one of the council members.As I walked toward the cell, his unfiltered thoughts drifted through my head.… absolutely ridiculous and such a waste of my time. Seven guards? Really? The heat of his beady gaze on my skin followed me as I passed him. Surely the high and mighty Spyrit Magician could do the job of all of us. Although she is probably still moping about the loss of that orphaned n
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Dream
Tynan stood before me, the world around us swirling like a sandstorm and melting away. I gawked; surprised I felt no fear at standing to close to him and meeting his dark, black gaze.“Kida,” he said icily, a small smile touching the corners of his lips.“Tynan, where is she?” I bit back bravely.I was surprised by my own courage.“I’m not telling you that, my dear,” Tynan laughed at me, the cynical sound, for once, not sending a shiver down my spine. It was strange. It had me worried. Something was wrong.I stepped forward, drawing at my powers, expecting to feel the familiar tingle along my arm, but nothing came.Panic flared in my chest as I stared down at my hand. Where was my magic?Tynan watched me closely. His dark eyes were alight with glee. He shook his head.“You can’t use your magic here, my dear,” he laughed icily. “And luckily for you, neither can I.
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Murderer
“I will be with you the whole time,” Tori whispered in my ear, sending a shiver along my spine. I couldn’t believe I was back here. A glutton for punishment. The door between me and Deakin may as well have been a portal to the afterlife, that was how hard it felt to have to walk through it. I wasn’t ready to do this again. The last time I had spoken to him, I felt like I had fallen to pieces and only just managed to begin bringing myself back together. Having to do it all over again, I was worried at the outcome for my own Spyrit. The only thing different this time, was that there was more at stake now. I needed answers about Tynan, and I knew he had them. Hurting Deakin would physically hurt me too. I knew it would. But if there was no other option, I was going to have to do it. Knowing what Tynan had planned, was imperative and when it was going to happen, even if it meant confronting the man that seemed bent on breaking and tearing me apart. Before I could manage to pull mysel
Spyrit Study - Book 2 of Spyrit Trilogy Plans Revealed
The minutes crawled by and the silence deafening in the small room. A myriad of emotions battered me from all sides including Tori’s utter shock at my revelation. The ones that shook me to the core were the emotions that pulsed from Deakin – shock, resentment and… regret? “You stole my family away from me the moment you slit my Mother’s throat and damned my Father to die from a broken Spyrit.” Behind me, Tori made a small squeaking sound as her emotions rolled. In that moment I realised I hadn’t uttered a single word to anyone outside of the small group of people I had been imprisoned with about my origins. Tori was smart enough to put two and two together to come up with Axian. Something shifted behind his eyes, the darkness clearing for a moment. The clear, bright iridescent blue colour returned to his gaze before it was quickly snuffed out by the invading darkness. It gave me a small ray of hope. My Deakin, the one I was destined to be with, was in there somewhere, tied down an
