Semua Bab I Welcome Your Rejection: Angel Kings' Proud Mate: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Ira's Point Of ViewThe Island is extremely close to the next mainland that it barely fits the 'Island' description. It has only two hills and a hidden valley inbetween. A towering wall connecting the hills blocks the path into the valley, leaving only a tinny opening that only a child can fit through."You led us here knowing well that the valley is blocked? You're the worst guide we were unfortunate to come across," Thumas mocks Aruin.Surely there must be a way through. Why else does other visitors come? Even the seers would not completely lock themselves in a valley that could flood. "From what I have heard, the weight of your fortune pushes the gates open. Let's hope we have enough." our Sincarion explains. I do not mean to judge, but the seers sound like such greedy people. Their precious service is definitely not meant for the poor. King Ronen takes my hand and helps me off the boat and onto the sandy beach. Not that I cannot do so myself. They got energy to waste. Linda tak

Ira's PovAruin hands the tiny bottle with three drops of my blood to the seer while I hold my bleeding hand on top of another small bottle until several more drops fall in. I figured out that it's better to pay the Seer and the Sincarion at once rather than cut myself again later. Linda pours the medicine that the Seer provided on the wound and wraps a piece of clean cloth around my hand to cover the wound. "I would hate to be you," she says. I ignore her as I am sure that deep inside she means the opposite. I hand the Sincarion his payment and turn to leave."I can use my powers to take away your pain, if you do not mind," angel Adon offers as we make our way out of the cave.I nod. "Just do not do more than that."The pain from the wound disappears and I inwardly sigh in relief. His powers are of great use if only he can be trusted to always use them for good."Thank you," I say. "I am glad you let me help. It's a good step towards rebuilding the trust we have lost," he replies

Ira's PovThey should just kill her as I cannot withstand the sounds of her screams. She wails and pleads like a so loud that the seers inside the valley can probably hear her. They warned us that there are traitors among us whose actions might destroy us more than the enemies we are fighting. We failed to take steps to ensure that such wouldn't happen. No wonder they didn't express confidence in our victory. We were doomed to fail."I am extremely sorry for losing your blood. I cannot imagine the horror I have created," Aruin ruefully mutters as he comes stand by my side, fingers running through his long hair.He is not to blame. Thumas manipulated Linda's selfish character. Once Lysandra uses my blood to free Luminis from the temple of shadows they will destroy Lordsland and every other pack and kingdom. We cannot gain possession of the golden trumpet before this happens. "This quest was never destined to succeed. I am an unlucky person. Everything I get involved in worsens," I te

Third Person's POVThe devious witch rises and strides towards Thumas. "No one has ever made me more proud. It appears that what Andria told me about you was a lie. I would have her dead head marking my borders if I do not still have use for her," she says. "I will grant you your biggest desire. I will cast a spell to make you a golden wolf. You will be my greatest knight, and Lord Luminis's cherished servant," she offers.Thumas bursts into tears of joy. "Yes M'lady. I will be of service in every way possible," he swears."Your first task is to bring me Ira Levitt herself. We need to be her keepers. There is so much her blood can do. The Angel Kings will grow stronger and more powerful if she starts loving them. Bring her to me before her good heart becomes fond of their company. And they will be easy for Lord Luminis to destroy," she orders."What you ask shall be done, M'lady. Just make me a golden wolf and I will move mountains for you.""The spell will be performed immediately,"

Ira's POVLior and Linda slide past the fog after keeping us waiting longer than necessary. One look at them answers the question why they hadn't gotten here hours ago. Linda has her fingers, tongue and lips all over Lior. She is like an hungry animal, gripping and licking. He quickly pushes her back after the cable boat stops.She still takes hold of his hand after they get off, gazing at me like I have intentions to steal him.Instead I lead the way towards the tomb. Everyone follows."Wait . . . is that a tomb? I don't think we should go there," Linda exclaims.Everyone keeps walking, ignoring her.There are unlit torches by the heavy door which has no locks. The heads of the torches are shaped like crescent moons. I think we will need them to see inside the tomb."Do you sense anything dangerous yet?" King Tiras asks Ronen."Not out here. But there is definitely a trap inside," King Ronen answers.Tiras lits our torches with his fire. The shape of the crescent moon becomes even cl
