Chapter 24. Council of Owls & Code of Conduct

The last group of Harpy to leave the dining room, following the late lunch and both Seraphina and Lady Nox, the Raven Queens' departure to continue the obligations that came with her ruling a Kingdom as a widowed Queen, was the Eurasian Eagle Owl Harpy.

As they walked up the corridor; the group turned in the direction of their room, around several more turns and a few doors up. It did not seem to take long and the brothers were in high spirits – slightly tipsy after a few glasses of the blood wine themselves.

Not enough that they had almost complete loss of bodily functions. Such as that, they had witnessed, of Lord Fielder. Who was supposed to be chaperoning Master Fenn, had ended up having to use the young owlet as a crutch to get him back to his room after several goblets of the blood wine, too many.

Both of the Eurasian brothers' laughed and mocked various individuals who had been sitting around the table. They did this the

  • The Alpha & The Harpy   Chapter 61. The Princess's Gambit - Part II

    Chapter 61. The Princess's Gambit - Part IIEncounter Two: The Training Hall at DuskThe training hall was never truly empty.Not for Sylen Velwraithe.Even in silence, he could hear the echoes of sparring matches long past — the crack of wooden staves, the ring of steel against steel, the barks of command from captains whose bones now lay in the catacombs beneath Ebonspire. The air was heavy with ghosts. Smoke and oil clung to the rafters, seared into the grain of wood and stone after decades of battle-drills.Sylen moved through that silence as though he belonged to it, a shadow among shadows. He had stripped down to the waist, skin gleaming with the sheen of exertion, his broad chest heaving with steady rhythm. The scars across his torso glimmered faintly where torchlight licked them — pale ridges earned in campaigns that now felt like another lifetime.His wings — vast, black as midnight — shifted occasionally, rustling in the still air like restless banners. His sword whistled ar

  • The Alpha & The Harpy   Chapter 60. The Blacksmith's Forge - Part 2

    Chapter 60. The Blacksmith's Forge - Part 2The firelight played across her pale features, contorting with uncertainty as to whether that was considered rude. Alive with the colours of fires, the glow of hot coals, turning her dark hair into a curtain of molten black.Finally, she asked, "How are they made? The blades we carry into battle. The blades that choose who lives or dies."The smith grunted, approving of her curiosity.Behind Korvash, his older apprentice, Nyxis Black, continued using the forge. As it roared as though it were alive, it was unlike anything Seraphina was accustomed to. Causing her to jump, a little with fright, caught off guard from the sudden loud noise.She cursed internally at her reaction.The heat here was heavy and shimmered in waves, licking the stone walls, which seemed to consume the light of the embers, and the smell of smoke, iron, and sweat pressed in like a second skin on every surface tha

  • The Alpha & The Harpy   Chapter 59. The Blacksmith's Forge - Part 1

    Chapter 59. The Blacksmith's Forge - Part 1 The great roar of the forge hit Seraphina's senses first—a deep, bellowing heat that rolled over her like a living thing. The air smelled of burning coal and molten steel, thick enough to coat her tongue; it tasted awful, she could feel it in her breath and wings. She hesitated at the threshold, her talons curling against the stone walls. At the anvil stood the blacksmith she had been recommended to go to. "Korvash, he's a big guy! You won't be able to miss him." She'd known about the Royal Forge, but until now hadn't actually known where it was or who owned it. Until she had asked some of the royal knights around the castle today. What was better place to learn about control and fire than the place where the weapons themselves were forged? A silhouette against the embers of his work, Korvash's massive frame haloed in firelight, hammer rising and falling in a rhythm that shook the ground beneath her talons. The outline was wrong... for

  • The Alpha & The Harpy   Chapter 58. The Swordmaster's Lessons

    Chapter 58. The Swordmaster's Lessons This morning sun angled over the stone terrace of the training grounds. Not far from the burning mist from the cliffs below slowly swelled and blew lightly, creating an appearance that there was far more land where it covered, instead of a sheer drop to what could be a very quick and fatal death. The clang of steel echoed across the practice ground where Seraphina Ebonspire circled her new opponent, a blunted black steel blade held firm. Her new temporary instructor, who had stepped in over the last little while—was Master Kaelen Falcrest, a sergeant—moved with surprising speed, his sword a blur in his hand. He was quite a bit younger than Lord Sylen Velwraithe by at least a decade. His feathers were still glossy black shot with storm-grey, not from age but just a tinge of lightness in his feathers, making them appear extra glossy, even though he was not the type to wax his feathers. Though only distantly of noble blood, Kaelen had trained under

    Chapter 57. The Princess's GambitOn her late-night flight back to the castle from the Mourhollow House, Serphora's mind had whirled with shapes in shadow and figures moving in darkness. She shook her head. Right now, what she wouldn't give for a distraction of any type from what felt like the impending darkness that threatened to swallow her whole. That's when she flew silently over the open-air training and sparring grounds, built firmly onto a ledge at the lower back of the castle. One of her favourite distractions and... tests... or projects was spotted out doing some late-night work - that soldier her mother seemed to trust so much... the one that never seemed to rest or sleep.Quickly, she headed to her room and slipped into something a bit looser for what she had in mind for the small hours of the night.♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦The moonlight spilled in silver sheets across the Raven Castle's training courtyard, long after the sparring matches had ended. The stones still smelled faintly of o

  • The Alpha & The Harpy   Chapter 56. Whispers of Ash and Stone

    Chapter 56. Whispers of Ash and StoneThe Mourhollow estate sat on the high ridge of one of the smaller of the three mountains, to the west, its more narrow black-slated towers draped in the usual mist that adorned the Raven Kingdom on a semi-permanent basis. The towers jutted out like sentinels carved from shadow.The family's crest — a crescent moon angled just above a scroll — was long welded and adorned on the great iron gates that had patches of rust, which creaked when they opened. At Sephora's approach to the castle, there was no need to use the gate. She had flown directly down here at dusk, her feathers damp from the misty dew that clung to this evening's air, her heart weighed down by the memory of the forest's suffocating silence and some of the discussion her mother, Queen Nox had had with her.The man of the hour, Corvin Mourhollow greeted his dear friend himself. He was dressed plainly for once, in a dark tunic belted with silver-looking spheres at the waist, his dark ha
