Semua Bab Honor in the House of Wolves: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The magical Fae, gifted with the most stunning magicks and power over the world that could strike fear into the heart of any creature they crossed. Their natural beauty stunned the world and shook it with terror as they built their kingdom around the seasons, ruled by emotions, able to conquer whatever challenge may come. It was unnatural that they existed, at least to us. Their lives could span thousands of years, and each century they seemed to grow even more terrifying and awe-inspiring. Humans were inherently lesser, but we had one advantage. Our minds had to develop better. We had the power of progression. The fae held back in their ways never changed. They could leave for a millennium and return as if no time had passed. Meanwhile, humans, we learned and evolved beyond their comprehension. With our minds set on industry and prosperity, we became a threat to their very existence. We built up our cities into vast bustling metropolises inventing ways of travel far beyond horsebac

I woke up in Rodrik’s arms in my bedroom the smell of warm chocolate muffins wafting up from the kitchen as I felt the heater kick on. Today was going to be another cold day it would seem, my mother never allowed the house to be cold and always made sure if we were expecting cold weather the heater did its job well. “Get your hormonal asses down here!” She called and I nudged Rodrik. “So much for an early night?” laughing I rolled out of bed and threw back the blankets. “You’re going to need to wear the same clothes today.” “Damn, no extra clothes here anymore?” He jumped out of bed and quickly grabbed his clothes that had been strewn across the floor. “Nope, our last off again ended in a fight, remember?” I jumped out of the room barreling down the steps before we both had to recall it.“You know I think I put up with a lot,” my mother grumbled pouring herself a mug of coffee. “I thought we were done with the sleepovers?”“It was an accident.” I pointed to the muffins, “These ar

We walked to the edge of town where the forest started to take over allowing the light of the city to fade revealing the stars. I looked over at my friends Darla wrapped tightly in her coat, Laurel blowing warm breaths on her hands and the guys running ahead tackling and tossing over each other. This left me, I didn’t mind this cold, it was manageable comparatively. I kept my hands in my pockets trying desperately to relax until finally we arrived. The tower was just an old building from a different age. Maybe at one point it could have been a training facility teaching new recruits how to guard an outpost properly, now the local youth used it as a den of unsavory affairs most adults would have frowned upon. The large stoned building had an internal structure with a spiral staircase that reached all the way to the open aired top. When we entered we reached down gathering our stash of flashlights dispersing them amongst the group so no one tripped over the uneven cobbleston

“If you are willing to take the next step in your service, please step through the door.” Cronus and Lyra stepped to the side as the door behind them swung open, “Step through and find your assigned room. Remove all clothing down to the base, take a seat on one of the medical cots, and please allow the medics full access to your right arm.”Gallo was the first to get up and walk through the door without another word. Despite the fear that was radiating through everyone else, we all made our way as well, though it was a process, one that Cronus and Lyra were perfectly prepared to allow us extra time. None of us were actively leaving the wrong way, so it seemed we were allowed as much time as possible to contemplate on if we were going to let our lives end there or continue on.When Dreyma, Freya and Sage entered the door I decided enough was enough. I wasn’t able to leave by any other way so I figured seeing this through was my

We were moved to a bus where we spent four hours driving toward the magical barrier. In the distance we could see the prismatic reflection of the magic dancing in the sky. As the sun continued to dip down the light show grew even more fantastic. Colors that were too dim in the day time spiraled through the air with sparkles of pinks and bright blues so bright that were practically white.“Alright,” Cronus stood up toward the front of the bus and turned to face us, “When you get out you will find your assigned cabin. It will be your home for the next five years. You are free to make it such, there is a general store on base. You have one hour after leaving the bus to find your cabin and then get to the training field. Are there any questions?We all learned “are there any questions,” was just a way to show he was done talking. He really didn’t want us to ask anything.The sun had finished setting when we arriv
