Running his hand over his face, Henry sighed tiredly, trying to get rid of the tiredness he was feeling, or at least forget it for extra few hours, but it was of no use, his eyelids were heavy, begging for some rest.After the talk with his sister, Henry had to meet with the Dukes and Counts of his kingdom, including Eren’s eldest brother, the meeting with them turned out to be a total waste of time as the men attending it had nothing to say but to subliminally blame him for the current state of the kingdom, without giving any valuable solutions, some even suggested to give up the usurped lands, which only gained them a sharp glare from him.After the meeting, Henry had to have dinner with his sisters and the nobles who came to greet him, and when it was finally time for him to go to sleep, his eyes remained opened, looking at the ceiling,

"I wish I had your powers, just for once" Henry whispered softly to the girl lying on his arm, her eyes were closed but the smile on her face told him that she wasn't asleep, she was just savoring the after taste of their lovemaking, every touch of his on her body felt as if he was removing a small chunk of her tiredness of her body and soul and replacing it with a missing part of her, she felt whole with him and was sure he felt the same, what was once reasons for the beautiful relationship they shared to fail and die in its crib, their differences, their status, and their personalities that almost destroyed each other, became the things that strengthened it."Why is that?" She asked him in her sweetest voice, she didn't mean to sound the way she sounded, but the ecstasy she was feeling turned her voice into the most delicious m

'This is real!' ‘It is happening!’ ‘It is really happening!’ Young Ezra heard himself muttering panickily as he ran alongside the rest of the Manrast soldiers to clash with the oblivious Taghit army, and until that particular moment when his trembling legs were carrying him, following the flow of screaming men in armors, he didn’t believe that he was going to fight, kill, or be killed. He was no soldier! He was no killer! And he had nothing to do with this war! This wasn’t his place nor the place he wanted to be, and while he ran almost absentmindedly, his life was flashing in front of his eyes, like those plays he used to see in the capital’s market when he was a child, the ones he was never fortunate enough to attend and watch until the very end, not when he was the son of a poor blacksmith who would spend his every penny on ail, those plays were a luxury l

As he flied back to his friend’s camp, the shadows’ lord thought about the whole plan, it was rather sneaky and even devilish, to keep the Two kingdom's armies busy on the borders while the demons invade their capitals, the battle at the borders was an inevitable one, for the sake of the usurped villages and lands, and to send a strong message to the other human kingdoms wanting to follow Manrast and Katara's lead, Especially that one called Buskeen, which had borders with the fire edge, and which they still needed to deal with yet.Eren didn’t think twice before aiding his friend, for he believed that it was his way for redeeming some of his mistakes, by making the world a better place before time came to leave it and hopefully, join his fair lady in the afterlife, he believed the human king and the ice queen would do great in ruling over the humans and demons, they both had not just the strength but the right amount of empathy, he believed in them and for

Sara felt as if she was in the deepest pit in the sea, the darkness wasn't only absolute but also heavy, too heavy on her frail body and soul, she wasn't able to take a breath as it caused a fire to start on her chest, she didn't try to breathe though, that need faded slowly with the time she spent in that pit, she no longer resisted it though, the darkness, nor the heaviness, and why should she? She asked herself, there wasn't anything left to fight for, no one to turn to, nowhere to go, she had lost everything, it didn't feel like she was giving up because there wasn't anything she could give up on, she had nothing and no one, no hope, no love, no family, no friends, the loneliness added to the thickness of the darkness she was engulfed in, she welcomed it, just wanting to be over with her life, the one she barely lived.The darkness then started breaking, like a moonless night with some faded star lights, she started seeing the faces of those whom she knew, her father, the
