MY FISHER BOY

ELISA…The silence that followed Lucien’s disappearance was not just felt in the dark, empty manor that seemed to seize its whispering at night.It was also felt in the way something in me felt alone and empty since he left - like a mother will feel when her child travels to another land, or goes out to be with her husband and new family.But he tried to kill me. I saw his real form, saw him for the monster he really is…But even as the word monster sprang up in my mind, I couldn’t help but feel disgusted at myself for even judging him like everyone else in town did.‘You shouldn’t be wandering far from sight, child.’ Yennefer’s sharp but serene voice interrupted my reverie, and I turned sharply to look in her direction.She had a discomforting habit of suddenly appearing in a chamber and startling me, and I wondered just how long I had to keep up with that.‘I apologize…’ I hesitated, not sure what to refer to her as. Mother, or my my lady.Her deep green eyes stared at me for a whil

HE CAME BACK

ELISA…I didn’t realize just how long I had been lying there until I tried to move and heard a rather loud crack in my lower back as I tried to adjust myself on the cold stone floor.Ohhh, not again…I looked around me, but nothing appeared to be amiss at all.Everything remained untouched.But why was I sitting in this state on the floor?Rowan…My fisher boy!I scrambled off the floor and resumed hitting the door.Stop it…You don’t want to see what is waiting at the other end of the door.The female voices resumed…I screamed aloud until I felt the voices had disappeared, then just as I raised my hand to knock on the door again, it opened from outside, and I stood face to face with him…Rowan.I stood still with my hands still hanging in the air.‘Lisa’.‘Rowan’.My eyes were immediately teary, and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t move any part of my body anymore.It’s not him…Rowan is gone.I winced in disgust.I thought they had disappeared.‘Are you okay?’Rowan asked, his br

THE MONSTER IS BACK

ELISA“Give me your hands…”I stared at the enormous hands stretched out toward me - hands so large I knew they would swallow mine whole if I dared place them there.I lifted my gaze to the man before me who was offering his hand, and I knew instantly that I would do whatever he asked of me.He looked so breathtaking.The kind of man who made the young girls in the village ponder all the unholy temptations the old nuns at the convent warned us about during catechism. His eyes were dangerously — almost seductively — black, and his skin looked like that of a noblewoman who was used to bathing in milk and honey. I imagined what it would feel like under my touch, and it shamed me that my rough palms, which were used to weeding the garden and mixing dough for bread, were no match at all for his.His hair was dark and thick, and the front swept back into a neat ponytail that relaxed over the loose bunch behind it like a silk curtain.I looked at his hands again, almost tempted to hold the

KIERAN

LUCIENThe sun, hotter than the fire in me, baked my skin until I was almost charcoal black.Not even the thick white furs on my body could protect me from its hot fury.I turned my head aside and searched around with my right hand for something I could hold onto, too blinded by the light burning through my lids to dare open them.But there was nothing around me but sand and rocks.Lucien!I paused to listen for the sound. It sounded so much like a woman’s voice, but nothing came again.I tried to get on my knees and crawl to a shade, but my body was too weak to respond to my commands.Days had passed since I left the manor—since I wandered, farther and farther from home and the comfort of the forest shade. Yet I could no longer tell how long it had been since the chaos in my head first began to tear at me.Son of Thorne, the last great son of Odin…The earth beneath me seemed to tremble as the voice called out to me.I ignored the sun’s searing heat and pried my eyes open, only to s

HOME

Lucien‘Who sent you?’ I already knew the answer to my question, but I enjoyed the fear in the soldier's eyes as life slipped away from him.‘P-p-please, ’ his eyes pleaded, his body wilting away in my tightening grasp.‘Talk, and I might just spare you,’ I growled just in time to watch a drip of blood escape the corner of his mouth.For the first time, I felt myself relishing the thoughts of snapping a human’s neck. I could already taste his blood on my tongue.‘M-m-m-monster he said with his last breath, and I brought him closer to my face so he could feel the heat from the fire in my eyes and in my chest.‘Yes, I am,’ I roared and laughed maniacally as his bones squashed between my palms.I looked up to the skies and roared my laughter, enjoying the power I now had.There was no more need to deny the person they all think I am…the person that I really am.I looked around me at the lifeless bodies and the blood, which now dampened the hard earth beneath them.Elisa!My heart constri

I SAW SOMETHING

Elisa…He was there…I knew without a doubt that it was him.The thick smell of damp body and the stench of stale, darkened blood did nothing to convince me that the sudden eruption in my body was because of his presence.Whether it was from fear or inexplicable relief and peace, I could not tell.I followed Rowan towards the stairs that led up into the manor, but he stopped and looked back at me.“You have to return to your room, Elisa. It’s getting late, and I have to return to the village before someone suspects me.”His voice was calm and commanding all at once. I was about to argue, but then realized that he was right and there was no need to even go with him anyway.Maybe I missed his presence, or I was just scared of being left alone again.Not when I could feel something - someone - lurking in the corner and just looking at me.My hands wrapped around me and pulled on my long gown as I looked around the room again.Why was he hiding?Was he waiting for me to be alone?Is this

EMBRACING THE PAST

Lucien…What is she doing? I watched her look around the room like she was seeing everything for the first time - even when she was looking at nothing in particular.I watched her every move, wondering why she was looking at her hands and body like they didn’t belong to her.Then her eyes immediately shot in my direction, and I watched as she approached.I froze and retreated into the dark room, not ready for her to see me yet, especially not when I was still in my beastly form.I had tried to return to my normal body since the forest incident, but it was impossible. Even Kieran didn’t have any idea how to return, and I knew he was enjoying the new dominion.‘Why are you so scared of her? Wait and see what she wants to do’ Kieran admonished and tried to make me stay put, but as she neared the door, I backed away deeper into the darkness.I could not bear making her scared of me.I didn’t mind terrifying anyone around me, but not her.And not right after I had seen her laughing so free

GREAT ONE.

Elisa…Three days had passed since Rowan left, after the noise in the hallway.There was no way I could even ask Yennefer about him - I was still not sure who she really was or if I was to trust her rare smiles.Sometimes she was sweet and spoke to me like a mother, other times her tone and eyes were distant and mysterious.She had even begun to keep a clear distance from me after the last time I touched her and felt that…But Rowan, what happened to him after last time?I definitely didn’t do anything wrong.If anything, he had to explain to me why he kept behaving oddly.Not like I missed him - or maybe not so much.It took that brief moment when I beheld the world with new eyes to realize what I really wanted all along.Rowan reminded me of home and everything I used to hold dear, but that dark shadow behind the door was everything I wanted to know and unravel.I was still torn between both worlds, and I wasn’t even sure how long I had with either of them.Lucien is back.I know it

THE GODDESS

Lucien…It had been three days since I returned, and no one even seemed to notice.I had buried myself in the charm of the books that lay forgotten and abandoned in the study.Not even when Kieran groaned with hunger and a plea for a little rest did I give up.It was amazing, and confusing, and just…It felt like seeing the whole world in a different light; I had not dared to see through.More than just being the beast of Blackthorn, I was still a man.A man who could be something more than a caged beast.But then I needed to understand why Father, before his death, shipped in a lot of books on witchcraft and curses, and why, when I went through the records, most of them were not on the shelves.Not even torn pieces remained of them that I could say were eaten by rats.Father kept a good record of everything in his study, like a pirate buries his treasures.And it felt so good to plunder all that knowledge, but off that, a couple of the books remained unaccounted for.Will Yennefer kn

BEGINNING OF THE END

...Lord Edric paced the small sanctuary like a crazed bull.The room - utterly dark but for the single ray of light that escaped in through a small window high up in the wall - was filled with the noise from beating drums, jiggling timbrels, and loud music from outside.It was the Christ the King celebration, and he was to chair the fair trade and the commissioning of the grotto that followed the procession, until Fabian appeared with news he had assumed he had dealt with temporarily.“What still holds her death? Why does she still roam the manor?” He stopped in front of Fabian to ask, even when he had been told the reason a thousand times.Fabian just stood in the darkness of the room, staring back at Edric and wishing he could control himself.“I am so close to being the next duke, so close to sitting on that seat of power and dining with the king,” he said aloud as he resumed pacing the room again, not caring if anyone overheard him.His fat body made the room look even smaller as
