Ilyana looked around. The lights of Kermalan were no longer visible. Left satisfied, the girl allowed herself to slow down a little. Her legs hummed, her ragged breaths escaping into clouds of steam into the cold morning air. The girl tried to move away from the city as quickly as possible. Soon the chase would begin for her, and Ilyana had to carefully think through her further actions. From the city that housed the main building of the Inquisition, it was very close to Witch Mountain. In two days she will reach the West Bank on foot, where she can buy provisions and clothing. In addition, this particular corner of the world was famous for its haven of witches and midwives, and Ilyana intended to visit some of them. Have a friendly chat, so to speak.Until this day, the girl perceived the world from the point of view of the law and faith of the Inquisition. Now she became curious - was the world really the way her mentors presented it to the young servant? Ilyana was angry at the tho

Ilyana wanted to call her friend by name, but a strong fist slammed into her stomach, knocking the air out of her lungs. The inquisitor's rage raged. Through her pain, Ilyana was surprised at how cruel her friend had become. Is it because he is suffering? Because she couldn't return his feelings?- You will pay for this! - the man grabbed Ilyana by the collar and approached the cliff, almost holding her suspended. The runes on the stones glowed crimson, pulsating like the heartbeat of hell.- Your witchcraft will not help you! No one can hide from justice!Ilyana realized with horror that she was standing on the very edge of a cliff. The left foot shuffled over the stone and hung over the abyss. Every breath felt like a stabbing pain. If the girl doesn't call his name now, she's done for.Kyrian pulled his hand back, pushing her over the cliff. A gust of wind swirled, throwing back Ilyana's hood and revealing her facial features. - Kirian! - The voice, hoarse with pain, was too weak

-Are you sulking at me for something, Lord Tantario? - William asked, crossing his arms over his chest.Tristan glanced at him displeasedly.- Should I be glad that you made me tinker with this writing? - He disgustedly picked up one of the documents with his fingers.But William was not easily deceived. He knew his Master like crazy, so he slyly clarified:- This is definitely not because of Ira?- Don’t you bother with her too much yourself? Maybe Alika has a reason to be jealous?William sighed sadly.“Alika now has a new admirer,” the adviser complained.Tristan was surprised.- I wonder what you can do not please a girl?William spread his hands.“They probably need a harmful character for the thrill,” the brunette smiled. - And you, Lord Tantario, don’t jump off the topic!The blond winced.- Oh, stop it. Your Ira simply awakened male pride in me. I'm not used to a girl neglecting me.It was clear from William's face that he did not believe the blond's words. Tristan had come ac

“If you want to know the details about the amulet, you better hurry,” Tristan muttered unfriendly. - William and I will be leaving soon. The advisor will answer all your questions. He's pretty good at this kind of stuff.With these words, Tantario turned on his heel and quickly walked out of the corridor.“Tristan, you will pay for this,” Ira returned the blond’s words to him, pressing the amulet to her chest. She didn't even have the strength to be angry either at the lord or at herself for this display of weakness. It seemed natural. Correct.I wonder which of them will be the first to risk giving up, without fear that this concession could easily break their heart?They both knew they had plenty of time to think about the matter.Norfvuld- Tristan, why are you so attached to these horses? Why don't we take those eastern trotters that the Savilian merchant offers us? They are cheaper and easier to use...- Will, will you stop whining today?- No, I won’t stop! So many problems have

Tristan spent the following days at the Dannaran stables with other workers, taming the seven young half-breeds selected for the clan. William dealt with paperwork and finances, rarely appearing in sight. The adviser was more concerned about how poor their treasury would become after such a wasteful purchase of expensive horses.Tristan stood in the center of a small round pen made of rough, gnarled logs. The lord watched the stallion prancing around him with a smile. Against the background of the evening sky, the gray-silver skin of the horse seemed to radiate a radiance. Tantario named this young half-breed Marble - a suitable name, given that the horse's skin had a light, pearlescent pink sheen. Tristan involuntarily remembered the leader of the herd. The young man thought that young Marble could well be a descendant of that proud, handsome man. At one and a half years old, he looked almost fully formed, and only his fluffy mane and tail gave him away as a foal. From his mother he

After a night of catching up with William, evening classes stopped. Meeting with the brunette in the corridors of the castle, they only exchanged greetings in passing. And a few days later, Tristan and William left altogether, leaving Ira with only a small bag with a piece of orange crystal and a couple of dry petals. William explained that it was an enchanted amulet. Orange crystals were very rare, they were found in anomalous zones like the one where Verinia lived. The dry petals belonged to marigold and carnation flowers. Together, these stones and plants acquired strong magical properties, hiding the night from the eyes of children. According to the brunette, the second most powerful vampire put a particle of her Power into the amulet, directing its effect on one specific enemy. Even after hearing this explanation, Ira doubted that such garbage could hide her from the eyes of the Overlord. But soon the girl had to admit that the strange amulet really worked. Previously, Ira had no

“What did they do this time,” said the girl’s lips in a male voice. She clearly felt dissatisfaction, which gave way to indignation, when someone's footsteps were heard from the corridor.The door burst open. Ira was frozen with fear.“Lord...” she whispered in a strange voice.- We haven’t seen each other for a long time, Lonter. - The lips of the white-haired vampire stretched into a predatory grin.- How can I serve you, sir? - Ira was filled with fear. She was shaking, although she tried to hide it.- Glad you asked. I'm looking for a young girl with green eyes. She is a convert. Haven't you seen her here for an hour?- No, sir..."He knows. Knows that I'm lying. He knows... and a terrible punishment awaits me,” the frightened thoughts began to blur.- Really? - a white eyebrow flew up. The king's yellow eyes sparkled. -Are you so stupid that you are ready to sacrifice your life for this boy?Other people's thoughts flashed through Ira's head. She remained silent.- Yes, you are e
The Vampire King 31
The jaguar, getting tangled in his clothes, spun like a top, knocking the startled enemy off his feet. The cat's jaw squeezed the vampire's hand, biting it to the bone. The unnaturally strong, spotted predator yanked the Supreme towards him and sank his teeth into the neck, tearing the pale skin. The other two enemies, barely recovering from their surprise, rushed towards the beast, but the jaguar tensed its legs and crossed the room with a long, powerful leap, breaking a large window and disappearing into the darkness of the night.He rushed across the field, heading towards the rocks. The herd raised their heads with a frightened snort and met with wary glances a wild cat running past them. Tristan crashed into a horse at full speed. Having barely disentangled himself from under her long legs, he climbed out of the herd. The silhouettes of low field trees loomed ahead.This time there were nullyards in his path. Maneuvering between the war horses, outraged by such impudence, Tristan
