Silence is never good

HOLLY’S POV,It takes Holly hours to calm down after the bomb that Nolan dropped on her. She knew he would get sick of her at some point but it still came like a shock. She thought she didn’t have a heart left to give him but why does it hurt so much then? She can’t bear the thought of him being with someone else. Which means she must love him so why can’t she just give him the version of herself that he needs. She thinks about it the whole night but the answer is just as unclear in the morning as it was the night before. With a sigh, she gets up from bed and decides to go find Zeus. There is something she has to discuss with him. She finds Zeus studying the glow worms in the caves. “What are you doing?” She asks. Zeus jumps up because he didn’t hear her coming in. “I am trying to figure out a way to transform the light magic from the glow worms into a spell so I can make light weapons.”

Healing

HOLLY’S POV,Holly walks into the meditation cave and looks around unsure. Such serene surroundings are not really her thing. Just hearing waterdrops gives too much space to think and she has learned to cope by keeping herself distracted. She takes a deep breath and tells herself to suck it up because she decided she wants to face her demons so she can’t go back now when already the silence makes her uncomfortable.Zeus is putting lit candles all around the cave and just leaves some space in the middle. He sits down and she sits down facing him. She knows her eyes are full of fear, but she has suppressed these memories for so long. Zeus takes her hands in his and his calm eyes are the only comfort she has at the moment. “So, to begin the meditation all you have to do is focus on the flame of one of the candles and listen to the water drops. I will be there any step of the way, you will hear my voice and I can pull you out if it gets too intense, oka

Love and growth

HOLLY’S POV,Holly buries her head against Nolan his wide shoulders. His strong arms hold her in a tight embrace and for a while, they just stay like that. She feels calm and relieved because the distance between them was dreadful. Nolan softly puts her down and takes her face in his hands. His ember eyes look at her warmly, “Zeus told me what you did. I am so proud of you Holly. How do you feel?”Holly gives him a little smile, “I feel calm, hopeful, and ready to move on towards a better future.”A shimmer of hope sparks in Nolan his face when he hears her words and he replies, “Why did you decide to face your fears after all this time?”Holly softly strokes his face, “I think I realized that I needed it for me but also for us. The thought of losing you was much scarier than the thought of facing my demons. I love you, Nolan. We are meant for each other and you deserved the full version of me, not just the broken p

Reunion

HOLLY’S POV, It is a few days later and Holly and Nolan are cuddling on a couch in the general living room when Zeus storms in. “I finally figured it out,” he shouts.He quickly walks away, and Holly and Nolan look at each other confused. Zeus already comes back and waves them over, “Well come on! Follow me.”Holly and Nolan quickly get up and walk after Zeus to the meeting room. Zeus is standing at the table staring at some brightly shining objects. Zeus picks up a sword that is shining so bright it is hard to look at. “I finally found the right incantation to transfer the light from the glow worms into the swords. I did the same for spears.”Holly walks towards the last object which is a black ball, “What is that?”Zeus quickly holds her back, “Careful, that is a light bomb. I mixed light magic with gunpowder so when the bomb hits a surface it becomes an e

Noelle

NOELLE’S POV,Faith and I left just a few days ago from Liberum. I haven’t had a decent sleep for days and some good food would be welcome too. Luckily Faith said we will be able to rest at a nearby village soon. I really need the rest because it feels like I am getting sick or something. I feel dizzy and nauseous, so I hope it isn’t from any of the wild mushrooms we ate. Food poison-ing is not high on my bucket list at the moment. We keep walking and I just start to feel worse and worse. Just when we get sight of the village, I puke all my guts out. Faith holds my hair and looks at me worried, “Are you okay?”I feel unable to answer and just shake my head. Every time I want to speak another wave of nausea falls over me. “Come on let’s get you inside somewhere,” Faith says warmly.She guides me into the village, but I can’t process the surroundings I just have to focus on walking. After what feels like forever we a

Separate ways

NOELLE’S POV,Donna holds her hands above her head and creates space between us, “It’s true I am a dark human now but not all dark humans are completely bad. I can’t explain to you here in the street but please I swear I won’t harm you.”I am a bit unsure what to do and I share a doubtful look with Faith. “If what she says is true it would confirm the theory I have about healing and dark humans. It could shift the war in our favor,” Faith says. I nod, “It is worth the risk but if anything seems off inside the house, we immediately run for it.”Faith and I walk close to each other while Donna leads us through a variety of alleys until we arrive at a small little cottage just on the brink of the forest. The cottage is covered in sun-light and as soon as we walk out of the alley, Donna her features turn back to normal. Her eyes and hair go back to their normal hazelnut color. This petite wo

Fire magic

NOELLE’S POV,The next morning, I go back to Donna’s cottage. She is already waiting for me in front of her door like she knew I would come. She doesn’t look surprised that I am alone and doesn’t ask questions. “Let’s go the forest so we can train in solitary,” Donna says.I still feel a bit hesitant, but it doesn’t really feel like I have much of a choice. I follow her into the forest until we come to an open spot. Trees are planted in a circle around the open space and there are pillars of stones in the middle. Donna stands still in the middle of the circle and starts talking, “Unlike any other magic, Fire magic comes from deep within and needs to be mastered with calmness and control. You need to be emotionless to be able to channel fire from within.”I feel surprised and say, “I would expect the opposite. I thought it would be like channeling lightning or thunder with anger and power. Besides, I wou

Mind magic

NOELLE’S POV,The next day I find myself back in the stone circle once again. Wondering what difficulties and challenges I will face today. Donna sits down facing me as usual and I look at her pa-tiently waiting for some instructions. She hesitates for a moment, “I know I said that I could teach you mind magic. And I do know how to open up the mind connection but I am not gift-ed with mind magic myself. Actually, there are only a few who are. King Hades is the most powerful one with being able to teleport visions, make hallucinations, etc. Others who have the gift can do small mind tricks or mind torture but the gift is different for every individu-al.”She continues, “We can open up your mind but I cannot tell you what will happen. Maybe you will have the gift, maybe you won’t. If you do, I have no idea what you will be able to do with it.”Donna takes my hands and closes her eyes so I do the same. I just listen to her voice and tr

Dark signs

NOELLE’S POV,The next morning I walk towards Donna her cottage as soon as the sun comes up. I figured out a believable reason for me to leave so abruptly. So I decided not to waste any time and go as soon as possible. Donna is already waiting for me outside her cottage but she immedi-ately notices that today is different. She opens up the door and softly says, “Come in, I see we have to talk first by the look on your face.”I nod and walk inside to sit at the table close to the fireplace. Donna boils some water and gives me a cup of tea before sitting down. “So tell me what happened?” she asks.I just want to open my mouth when the fire starts to make a lot of noise. Donna looks at the fireplace confused but then the fire explodes and the whole room is on fire. In a second I notice that the fire isn’t real but an illusion. A dark voice I recognize immediately echoes through the cottage, “SERVANTS, DEMONS, DARK HUMANS, THE TIM

Returning to the castle of glass

NOELLE’S POV,Thorn and I have been flying over a desert landscape for a while now. It was a nice distrac-tion to listen to Thorn going on and on about Dagahra. I know exactly how it feels to love someone so much that they are all you can think about. If I just picture Gabriel his face, I immediately smell his scent of pinecones and fresh winter air. But I never knew it could hurt so much to miss someone so I try to not think about him all the time. The meditation tech-niques Zeus showed me definitely help. Finally, I spot something shiny pointing out from the sand. It is that I saw in my visions that the library is there because otherwise, I would have never known. I wonder how Faith was able to find it. Thorn puts me on the ground and I walk towards the shiny object. I brush some sand away and it looks like the top of some tower. I press all the different stones until I find one that I am able to push down. With a creaking sound, a hole appears in the r
