The decision settled in Elaina’s heart like a spark catching dry wood.

Once it took hold, it refused to be ignored.

Time was slipping so they needed to act fast if they wanted to get to and fro karat kingdom on time. The king was still seated comfortably on his throne. Xavier was still somewhere beyond their sight. And the magicians who were wrongly accused were still living in exile.

If she waited too long, something else might go wrong and they couldn't afford that.

  • TAMING THE BEAST: HER LITTLE PET   Chapter 152

    The forest did not attack them… not that night at least.The trio continued moving in the dark forest, guided by Sachin’s quiet certainty and Drake’s constant vigilance. The growls never returned fortunately and the rustling reduced. Whatever or whoever had watched them seemed to have lost interest.Soon night came and exhaustion tugged at all three of them.“We should stop and find where to rest for the night,” Drake said finally.Sachin nodded. “There’s a small clearing ahead, it is properly hidden.”True to his word, there was a shielded space and the ground relatively even to camp.So they dismounted and tied the horses loosely to low branches and close. Drake inspected the perimeter first while Elaina unpacked some dried bread and smoked meat from their provisions.Elaina handed Sachin a portion of food and he accepted it with a quiet nod.They ate in silence at first. Then, as Drake returned and crouched nearby to eat, Elaina studied the boy across from her.“You said once that

    More than twelve hours after the ship had sailed away, it began slowing down.“We’re close,” Sachin murmured, already alert.Elaina pushed herself upright, stretching stiff limbs as the vessel slowed. She had tried to get some shut eye but she was too anxious about the old forest.Soon the concealed panel was opened and Drake climbed out first, scanning the shoreline before helping Elaina and Sachin up.Truly there was no border checkpoint and no warriors waiting with suspicion.“From here,” the captain muttered to Sachin, “you’re on your own.”Sachin nodded with a grateful smile, “Thank you.”The captain looked briefly at Elaina and Drake, as if measuring whether they were worth the trouble, then turned away without another word.The ship pushed back into the water, leaving the trio alone on the dim shore.They did not waste time, they followed a narrow path toward a small trading town Sachin claimed would not ask questions if paid well.And he was right.The town was quiet, its mark

    They were soon nearing the forest and Drake was the first to break the silence.“No,” he said firmly.Elaina looked at him. “No?”“We are not riding into a forest full of rogues.” he had originally agreed but after going over the dangers, he was beginning to have second thoughts.They all slowed down their horses slightly so they could listen.Drake’s jaw was set. “Rogues are not disorganized thieves. Some of them are former soldiers. Some are dragon blood are even dragon with pent up resentment. Some are mercenaries with nothing to lose. If we venture into a forest filled with them, we don’t stand a chance if they decide we’re worth something.”Elaina nodded slowly. “He’s right. If even half the rumors are true, that forest swallows people.” she had also been having second thoughts.Drake exhaled sharply, surprised she agreed.She continued, “Maybe this is a sign. Maybe we should stop forcing this. We could return to Havenwood, strengthen our position, clear our names first...”“No.”

    Morning soon came and Elaina woke up to the sound of chirping birds and rattling trees. For a brief second, she forgot where they were. Then she saw the dying embers of the fire, Drake already awake and alert near the edge of the clearing, and Sachin curled beneath his cloak a few feet away.It was time to continue from where they left off so they woke him up. He got ready almost instantly. They packed quickly, there was no unnecessary noise so it was the perfect time. Drake erased obvious traces of their camp while Sachin watched with quiet approval.By the time the sun cleared the treetops, they were mounted and moving.This time, Sachin rode a little ahead, directing their path.Elaina and Drake followed behind him, exchanging occasional glances. They felt a little uneasy but they had no better alternative. Without him, they would be gambling blindly with patrol routes.Still, trust did not come easily.“You said yesterday that two routes ahead are compromised,” Drake called forw

    Soon the sun began to set, Drake slowed his horse and surveyed the area carefully. He had been searching quietly for a hidden place to rest for the night and he finally found one.“We should stop here,” he said at last.Elaina nodded in agreement. The day had been longer than she anticipated. Riding through unfamiliar terrain while constantly scanning for movement in the distance drained more than just physical strength, it wore on the mind. Sachin slid down from his horse without complaint. Despite his age, he showed no sign of exhaustion. Instead, he studied the clearing as if evaluating it.“This is good,” he said quietly. “The ground dips slightly to the north. If anyone approaches from that direction, we’ll hear them before we see them.”Drake raised an eyebrow. “You’ve camped in worse places?”Sachin gave a faint shrug. “Much worse.”They worked quickly. Drake tied the horses where they would be partially concealed by brush but still within reach. Elaina gathered fallen branche

    The scream did not come again. And for a second, everywhere turned eerily quiet, even the horses had quieted down.Elaina and Drake stared at each other before moving at the same time. Drake dropped the reins and jumped down from the wagon, boots hitting the dirt hard. Elaina followed without thinking, her pulse racing in her ears.“What if we...” she began, fear tightening her throat. She was worried that they had just run over an innocent passerby because they were too busy arguing. How would they get help on this lonely road?“Stay close,” Drake muttered.They rounded the rocky bend cautiously, hearts pounding, bracing themselves for blood or broken bones.Instead, they found a boy.He lay sprawled in the dust just a few feet from the wagon’s path, thin arms shielding his head as if he had expected to be crushed. His clothes were worn and dusty, his hair falling into his eyes. He looked no older than fifteen.Elaina’s breath caught. “Oh heavens…”Drake moved first, crouching beside
