21 Stone-Made Miracle

Once most of the stones had been collected, the smaller gorts moved aside, while the colossal giant stepped closer. Pressing his enormous hands against the pile, he let out a strange grinding sound, and we saw a red, fiery glow.From the titan’s head and body, through his arms, molten streams flowed—lava-like energy pouring directly into the gathered stones. It seeped into them, filling them, and within a few minutes, the shapeless mound… started to move.The giant stepped back. And then something unbelievable began to happen with the stones he’d infused! They twitched, clattered, scraped, shifting and rearranging themselves until… they formed another gort.This one was slightly smaller than the others, but still enormous— and I simply couldn’t believe my eyes.“Incredible, isn’t it, Prepedollie?” the brunette murmured thoughtfully with a grin, watching me try to lift my jaw off the floor.“It’s… something else entirely,” I breathed in astonishment— and for some reason, a warmth bloss

22 The Mysterious Lake

As Kays had said, we met up with everyone at the Shinir Caves, where our overnight stop was planned.To my surprise, they were glad to see us and greeted us quite warmly. I also noticed how relieved Nufira exhaled upon seeing Kays. However, almost immediately, a rather hateful scowl was thrown in my direction.Oh, for heaven’s sake! It seems the blonde forgot who was bringing her here and with whose help.Sighing heavily, I made my way to the place the men had prepared for us to sleep—something like a separate tent for the girls. Fatigue made itself felt, and I had an intense desire to wash off the road grime and all the dust.Entering our tent, I simply collapsed onto one of the sleeping spots prepared for us. Around the other beds were the girls’ belongings, so it wasn’t hard to guess which one was mine. I was surprised to see something resembling a little night lamp.My legs ached, my backside too—fortunately, that pain was gone thanks to Kays.“Hey, Iza! Not asleep yet?” I heard Y

“Yafi! Yaro!” I called to the guards in surprise, but they didn’t even turn, as if they hadn’t heard me at all.“It seems those sentries forgot why they’re here, what they’re supposed to be doing, and whose direction they should never be looking in,” Kays’s voice echoed sharply, his lips pressed in anger.“They were only showing me where I could wash up,” I tried to defend the twins—after all, they hadn’t done anything wrong to me.“And why are you defending them so much?” Kays’s brow arched in furious disbelief. “Your mind should be focused solely on how to please the king right now, not on flirting with his subjects.”“You’re such an ass!” I hissed at the rude bastard. “I never asked to be anyone’s bride! And if your king wanted a wife, he could get off his royal backside and go look for a woman he actually likes, court her like normal men do, instead of waiting for girls to be dragged to him like sheep to the slaughter for some very questionable fate! Or is the crown squeezing his

24 The Lying Cook

After changing into clean clothes, I stepped in front of the mage. He looked me over silently, then walked deeper into the cave, telling me to follow. And we were definitely not heading back to our camp—we were going in the opposite direction, lit by a torch that had appeared in his hand from who-knows-where.“Where are you taking me?” I finally let curiosity win. “This cave is so deep… like a real labyrinth.”“The Shinir Caves are a chain of interconnected caverns,” the brunette explained. “Long ago, the ancient Shinir lived here—a short people with highly developed trade. They connected many caves into a complicated labyrinth of rooms and tunnels. They did this so that thieves wouldn’t be able to reach them and steal the wealth their settlement earned. Plenty of those seeking easy profit died in here, because the Shinir themselves were not a warlike people at all. In battle, they posed no threat whatsoever. They were as defenseless as children. But thanks to their intelligence, they

25 Good Cop

“You almost died today, and I decided to treat you to something unusual,” he shrugs indifferently, throwing me into a bit of disappointment. “And I still can’t figure out where you’re from. Your aura is nothing like the locals’, and I’ve seen plenty—trust me.” The watch-mage looks at me unexpectedly seriously. “Maybe you’ll confess on your own?”Ah, so this turns out to be the ‘good cop’ routine, where I’m supposed to spill everything during a casual interrogation.“And what do you do here with people who aren’t locals?” I counter with a question of my own, meeting the man’s clear gaze.“Nothing, if they don’t pose a threat,” Kays knits his brows sternly. “Do you pose a threat?”“To whom?” I snort. “I almost got flattened by the gorts on the road, and you’re asking if I’m dangerous. If I had any powers or skills at all, I would’ve dealt with those giants—at least in self-defense.” I look away. It’s unpleasant to be suspected of something.“There’s some truth to your words. But sometim
