AlruinIt all made sense now.But the truth was brutal...it was bloody and was never meant to be seen by anyone who didn't exist in that timeframe. Marla probably never bargained for me to stay so long in this hellhole, but if I didn't, there was no way I could have seen the things I saw. Lord Sabeleon wasn't an evil man, he was just ruthless and helpless under the charms of Andralita. Malric was also a victim, but the most surprising thing I had discovered was what Marla and her sister could do together. Combined, they were the strongest force I had ever seen. I had followed the little boy for days, watching him trying to find his way in the forest after losing his mother. Soldiers came after him eventually, commanded by Lord Sabeleon. I watched him get dragged away, but followed them for days without food or water. I could weave open a portal that would take me home while I slept on cold slabs of rock, but deep down, I knew I was close to discovering something crucial. We ended u

AlruinSlowly, like a virus, doubt started to spread through my mind when I decided to head back. What if I couldn't open the portal? Marla had talked about a timeframe that day, but prior to that, she told me I would still be able to open the portal and return, but what if I had overstayed my time here? "Focus, Alruin, focus!" I snapped and took a deep breath. I sighed shakily and closed my eyes, moving my fingers in the exact motion Marla had taught me. I found a sense of peace and excitement deep within my heart. I was heading back to meet Malric again, after so long. My heart was conflicted. I felt angry at first, for what his father had done. Killing my father that night was enough to make me angry at Lord Sabeleon, but I discovered far worse things. About my clan, the primordials, about my mother and the coven she had belonged to. It was all too much to bear. I knew that familiar wind that gushed past me with might. I took a staggering step forward, barely parting my eyes as

Alruin Marla was scared of something and I could understand completely if it was her sister, but I could tell that it wasn't just that. She seemed uneasy most of the time. Cain sat with me more now, trying to talk to me and tell me about the time he spent with Malric before he left. "I think he saw in his own vision that he was the blood bearer and so I tried to teach him a few things, on Marla's orders, but you know how Malric can be. He was very difficult to work with at the time." He said, "he couldn't cope with it here, Alruin and so he left." "Right," I mumbled, staring past the fire where we sat around Marla. I knew that she had the entire place surrounded by witches and watchguards. Maybe she was scared about me leaving, or about her sister attacking, I wasn't sure, "and with the bloodbearer gone, what chance do we have even though we were to save this sick world?" I asked loudly. Marla slowly looked at me, her eyes bloodshot and heavy, "We have you, and so we stand a

Malric"You think they will just let us in?"I hadn't asked myself that question yet because I saw no need to. As I held my horse's reins while it drank water from the little stream we had found, I glanced over at Chase and squinted at him in confusion, "What would be their reason for not letting us in then?" I asked. Stroking his horse's mane, he just shrugged, "I don't know, Alpha Malric. The manner in which you left, it was a little hasty, as if you were not welcomed there. Correct me if I am wrong, of course, but if a conflict happened before you left, don't you think it is reason enough for there to be an obstruction? Also, how are we sure that Alruin is back anyway?"I frowned and looked away, "We don't." I replied flatly, "but there is a chance he might return, if he wants to. And now that we have found out about Lorak's new partnership with Lyra, I need to get the information to him. Even if we do not travel on the same path anymore." "And who was Lorak to Alruin though?

MalricWe had been travelling all night and by the time we caught the first glimpse of the sun, all three of them had released exasperated groans and yawns. This was why I didn't want any company on this journey, I would have been able to fend for myself just fine.Chase squinted at him as we got closer to the coven, "Are you a werewolf, Garrick? They do not really take kindly to werewolves. You know, the whole war and all." Garrick glanced at me before replying, "Yes, I am, but I do not shift unless on a full moon night. I do better with a sword most times so I learn not to depend too much on my wolf." He glanced at the new member of this little, unfortunate team of mine, whom everyone still considered as our prisoner. "You any good with a sword?""Kind of," he replied dryly and coughed. He had drowned his face in the river when we had finally let go of him and Garrick had to pull him away so we could leave.Garrick stared at me solemnly, "He kind of knows how to use a sword, Alpha
