The woman did not wait for an explanation. The moment her eyes landed on Drake and Sachin behind Elaina, a sharp glint flashed across her face. She turned abruptly and pulled Dera inside, shutting the door with a force echoed through the clearing. A clear indication that the visitors were not welcomed. Elaina stood frozen at the reaction. She wasn't too surprised that she reacted that way. They were meant to be lying in secrecy so a confrontation like this without proper explanation will lead to hostility.Sachin exhaled slowly and he muttered, “Well, that could have gone better.”Drake remained still beside her, but she could feel the tension radiating from him. His senses were alert, listening for movement within the cottage.Fortunately, they did not have to wait long. The door opened again and the same woman stepped out, her face was no longer as hostile but it wasn't soft either. Her shoulders were squared now and her eyes were calculating. Behind her came three other women, e

“Elaina!” Drake’s voice echoed as he called out to her.She was still fuming so she walked fast, not caring where her feet landed or where she was heading to. Her chest felt tight from anger and she struggled to breath. How could they just give up just like that? Didn't they miss their home and their family and friends? She wondered in her mind.She has been looking for her only surviving family ever since she found out she might be alive and would just at the chance to reconnect with her. So how could they just be okay with hiding away for the rest of their lives?Their agreement to join them would have greatly improved their side against the king, Xavier and the army. She had read that they were much more powerful than the male counterparts so she just couldn't understand what they were so afraid of.Sachin was the first to catch up. “Storming off into the forest is not a strategy,” he called out, slightly breathless.She ignored him.Drake reached her seconds later and moved in fr

Xavier stood before the tall window of his chamber, his hands clasped behind his back as he watched the activities going on outside. Beyond the glass was the training grounds that spread wide round the humble abode. There were lanterns placed around to lighten up the place as it was getting dark already and training was still going on fervently.The training was of course under Xavier's command. A little over a hundred men were lined up orderly and they each practice their moves with determination. The ones that were magicians summoned wind that tore through the dust and muttered defensive spells as they duelled among themselves. While the others who were not, slash their swords, saber and spear as they practiced too among themselves. Xavier’s lips curved slowly and he nodded in approval. They had gotten more refined over the past month and it seemed like they were ready to used. “I sure made a good choice buying this secluded piece of land back then, it has really come in handy a

King Alfred sat upright at the head of the long council table, fingers pressed together as voices rose around him.“You have been absent from trade discussions for weeks.”“The northern farms are demanding an audience.”“There are disputes at the border that require your seal.”The complaints layered over one another and Alfred listened, but his mind lagged behind their words.He had not really intended to neglect his duties more than he usually did. He had simply been… occupied. Elaina came into his life and ruined him. To him, she had used him and his feelings to protect herself and her dragon lover. Ever since he recovered from the beating he received from Drake, the scales covering his eyes had fallen off and he harbored nothing but pure hatred for those two. How dare they humiliate him like that? His anger affected Lord Xavier as well because it was all because of him that he got entangled in that mess in the first place. He also accused Xavier of purposefully letting him move

“Do it now! we do not have time to dawdle” he dismissed them. His order wasn't one they could refuse and so within minutes, the servants rushed to obey. Alfred moved quickly to his private chamber. The polished armor that symbolized his strength and authority had never been worn. He had usually ruled from his bed surrounded by naked women. This was a day he never thought would come. So as the metal settled against his shoulders, he felt something strange stir within him. Responsibility… It was not the abstract kind that he carried before but the proactive kind. His kingdom was under attack and his enemies were just by the gate. His responsibility now was fighting for his people whether he liked it or not. After bracing his heart, he reached for his sword and held it tightly despite his shaking hands. For a brief moment, Alfred studied his reflection in the metal surface. Perhaps he was only thinking too much, he just had to close his eyes and brave through. He was still
