“It is my pleasure to announce that the ship and everything else needed for the journey to the capital has been arranged for. We are going to fight for our place and stop hiding for survival… victory is at our doorstep” Baroness Davina announced, her face beaming with happiness.Everyone in the facility cheered happily at the news, not everyone was going along but they were aware that the battle ahead meant freedom for their kind. Elaina and Drake were present as well and they stood behind Davina to deliver the news. Elaina's heart was beating wildly in her chest at the future that laid ahead of them. Months before she had been depressed by the thought of defeat and now hope came down like rain. A surge of pride swelled in her chest as she saw the genuine happiness in the eyes of the people. She had seen them all grow, watched the transformation from nervous youths and fledgling warriors into disciplined and capable fighters. Under Drake’s guidance, their movements were more sharpen

Davina’s hand briefly rested on her shoulder. “I know you would. She trusted you, and all of us to carry it forward in her absence. The ship, the training and everything else is all part of the preparation. And you, Elaina… you are the heart of it. You, your music, your bloodline and your courage. They will guide everyone else and lead us to victory.”Elaina felt a swell of emotion rise in her chest. She felt pride, responsibility and determination. Her mother’s presence was everywhere and that comforted her deeply. It was in the facility, in the planning, in the people and in the journey they were about to embark on. And now, understanding that, she felt a new fire ignite within her.“I’ll make her proud,” she whispered, more to herself than to Davina. “I’ll make sure she sees that it was worth it… that all of it was worth it.”Davina’s gaze softened further. “She already knows you will” she paused and continued, “I want to show you something, follow me”Elaina nodded and followed he

“What?” Elaina gasped and staggered back a little. She couldn't hide her disappointment and heartbreak at the news. It led to so many questions that caused dread to form in the pit of her stomach.Davina sighed, “I knew it would break your heart, Reina probably thought the same too. But I still needed to let you know of where your mother was last seen, you can take your time to decide what you do next. I have some business to attend so I'll have to leave you to it” she patted her gently, trying to offer comfort.“Thank you very much for telling me, if you'd excuse me too” she responded quietly then turned and left the study.Her mother was not with the female magicians.The words echoed again and again in her head as she walked back to her room. The hallway felt longer than usual. The laughter of people in the distance sounded faint, almost unreal. She was too occupied with her thoughts to care.‘Aurora had left after ensuring the magicians were settled. Left… and never returned' it r

Elaina sat beside Drake at the front of the wagon and they rode in silence at first. She tried not to worry but she couldn't relax because they were heading toward the kingdom’s border and neither of them knew a safe route around it. Jone had briefed Drake about the road but it was not enough to sort out this issue. The kingdom's border was tightly secured and must be passed one way or the other.“There has to be a lesser path,” she murmured, scanning the distant stretch of land ahead. “A trader’s trail. Something the guards don’t monitor closely.”Drake kept his eyes forward, he could tell what bothered her because it bothered him too. “There are smaller crossings,” he said. “But the king tightened security after the banishments. Anyone suspicious will be questioned.”Suspicious.That word alone was enough.Elaina shifted slightly on the wooden seat. Traveling by wagon made them look like ordinary merchants, but appearances only went so far. If someone recognized her face, if word

Soon the sun began to set, Drake slowed his horse and surveyed the area carefully. He had been searching quietly for a hidden place to rest for the night and he finally found one.“We should stop here,” he said at last.Elaina nodded in agreement. The day had been longer than she anticipated. Riding through unfamiliar terrain while constantly scanning for movement in the distance drained more than just physical strength, it wore on the mind. Sachin slid down from his horse without complaint. Despite his age, he showed no sign of exhaustion. Instead, he studied the clearing as if evaluating it.“This is good,” he said quietly. “The ground dips slightly to the north. If anyone approaches from that direction, we’ll hear them before we see them.”Drake raised an eyebrow. “You’ve camped in worse places?”Sachin gave a faint shrug. “Much worse.”They worked quickly. Drake tied the horses where they would be partially concealed by brush but still within reach. Elaina gathered fallen branche
