Ashley

The scream came out of me so suddenly. It didn't even sound close, it sounded like something distant and far away. Like my ears had suddenly lost touch with reality. Instead what I could hear perfectly was the sound of a high pitched ringing.

The ash crunched under my boots as I moved deeper into what was left of the village, my knees barely able to keep me standing. I kept wishing that it was all a premonition or an illusion, but every moment that passed was a cruel reminder that it wasn't.

This destruction was all real. Every trail of smoke. Every broken body. Every blackened, scorched earth and degraded wood where houses once stood. Smoke still clung to the air, heavy and choking. I kept Luna close, her small hand gripping mine so tightly it almost hurt. Her trembling was contagious.

I knelt in front of her, the harsh ground biting into my knee, and brushed a streak of soot from her round cheek. She was just a child who barely knew anything about the world, and she had alre

    AshleyA mix of emotions went through my body, thrumming ne like a stringed instrument. The emotions were mostly good, though. Relief. Happiness. A twinge of disbelief. “Amy? H-how? I thought you were gone?”“I've never been gone, Ashley. I only made it that way so that I could heal. It hurt me terribly to see you suffer without my presence, but I'm back now.” Her voice was so soothing, and it occurred to me just how much I had missed it. How much I had felt incomplete without her presence.“No, Ashley. You have proven time and time again that even without me, you remain a force of nature. You never needed me to make you a whole. In fact, I consider myself merely an addition to you,” she said, reminding me that she was privy to all of my thoughts and desires.“It…it was hard without you, Amy.”“I know.”“Why now? What's been happening for the past ten months?”Her presence stirred in my mind, brighter and more evident than before. Power surged through my veins, familiar to my body an

    JaceIt had been difficult, but I had finally gotten a hold of the relic’s location.The cave smelled of scorched stone and long-forgotten blood.Every step I took echoed like a drumbeat against the walls, a low reminder that the path I walked could not be turned back from. My fingers grazed the jagged rock as I moved deeper, the air growing hotter, denser, as though the earth itself was warning me to stay away.But I wasn't one to always do as warned.“Almost there,” my mother’s voice whispered from behind me. I didn’t turn to look at her. I didn’t need to. Even without her words, I could feel the heat of her presence, the pulse of her conviction pressing against my spine.The Ignis Relic. The treasure I had nearly lost my life trying to retrieve from that Lycan bastard. By everything happens for a reason, because if not for that cave collapse, I wouldn't have found the book that my mother left for me. The one that had shown me many things and enlightened me.We had chased informatio

    Ashley With a jolt, I found myself on the ground before the tree. Alyssa's form still remained in the tree, just as I had found her.I scrambled up to my knees, pressing my hands against the bark of the tree, tears falling from my eyes. “Mother…” My voice broke, cut down by the weight of pain in my chest from all that I had witnessed. My father was a half-lycan, who lost his life simply because he got in the way of those elders. He had been stolen before I even had a chance to get to know him. My clenched fists punched the ground as I groaned in anguish, so upset that I couldn't even find the strength to form a different kind of sound.“No…” I sobbed, shaking my head from side to side as tears dropped freely from my eyes. It was almost difficult to breathe, especially when the images of a life past flashed through my mind. I had seen every event, felt every emotion, and suffered every pain. But unfortunately, I couldn't even change a single thing, and that was what hurt me the most.

    Ashley“This wasn't what I was promised! I was promised the goddess incarnate! You will not take her away from me!” Elandir's volume increased with every sentence he uttered. His eyes were almost bloodshot with rage. His jaw popped and cracked as he started the process of his transformation, voice deepening and becoming monstrous as he did so. “I was chosen by the goddess as the perfect spouse for her. You can't change that.”Rhodan dropped his hood and looked up at the hulking form of Elandir. His eyes were narrowed, annoyed. “If you were so hell-bent on keeping her, then you should have paid more attention to her. We kept her in your care, and right under your nose, she took the child away.”“We can always find the child, Rhodan,” Elandir said, voice level once again. He tried to appear calm, but he still remained in his half-transformed state. “Killing her is not necessary.”“A vessel that refuses to belong to its potter, must be thrown into the fire,” said Elira. “Alyssa has been
