All Chapters of HARRY SKYE: CORDELIA : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

        Leaves danced in the wind before slowly falling towards the solid rock ground that was the road on the streets of Fantascia. The same leaves, soft leather boots trampled on. The same boots that Cordelia had stolen for herself and her sister to hide their feet in.         "You never told me where you were." Nherisz was first go break the cold silence in the streets. "For the past month."        Cordelia took a bite of the apple, which she bought with some money she found in Eric's cottage. "I went into Encrea?"         "And stayed a whole month?" Nherisa asked.         "I went to find what I could about our mother's killers." Cordelia continued. "Before I could do anything, I saw a few men. They were enslaving a whale. Forcing it to do work."        "And you...?"         "I couldn't have let them do that to the poor, innocent creature."         "But you could have stayed out of Encrea."        "Yo

Cordelia, now under new rule, was beaming with power at such lengths she didn't realise she could reach. She didn't need to fight. The guards let go of her as soon as they noticed the bright glow in her eyes. The ocean water carried great tension. The particles moved rapidly in every part, causing waves on the surface. Cordelia's gaze fell on the Encrient palace. With power she didn't know her gaze held, she made it crumble; slowly, yet at a speed beyond imagination, beyond human or sea dweller abilities. The guards who held her captive were now fleeing like birds. Good. They better flee. Cordelia imagined Seward being crushed under all that stone. She was satisfied at the thought, yet she wasn't sure. She would have gone to confirm herself, but greater destiny awaited her above on the surface of the sea. A shadow was cast over her. She looked up. The time had come. And c

"You have to tell me what's going on here." Nherisa said, following Eric to only he knows where. "Nherisa, the affairs of the castle are far bigger than us." Eric said, coming back out of his room to meet her. "You need to find your child. Get it out of here and never come back." "I'm sure you don't think I would do that." Nherisa said. "You turned my child into an egg, and you think it's just going to pass. Why did you do this?" "It wasn't me." Eric said. "It was never me. I fact, nothing that ever happened I this castle was by my will, not even the King's." Eric looked out the window. It was visible from there, the ship. "And she is coming." "Who, Eric, who?" "Vane." Eric said. "Who is Vane?" Nherisa asked. "Vane is an evil spirit that lived in the rulers' minds for generations and controlled whatever happened in the kingdom." Eric said, running dow

"The portal isn't far from here." Eric said, leading Nherisa and Cornelia into yet another hallway in the maze of hallways that the castle held. Nherisa still had doubt in her heart. But she was ready to do anything, kill anyone, in order to save her child. She had pushed her ear against the egg before. Although to the average person, no sound came from the egg, she had felt the presence of her child. There was no heartbeat yet, but she felt like her child was strong. She hadn't even thought of a name for it. If it was a girl, she would name her Hadassah. And a boy would have been named Zadok. She pictured her child playing around on fresh green grass in front of their riverside cottage. Or maybe they would libpve together in the sea. She planned everything. And she was going to make sure that her child lived. "Your child will be fine, Nherisa." Cordelia said. "I promise.""I wish your promise could put hope in my heart." Nherisa said. "Please don't try. You should worry about your

"Is this how you prove your loyalty?" Cordelia asked Eric, breaking the spirsl of ice that wrapped around her. ""After all I have done for you." Eric looked back at Cornelia and told her to take Zephyra away. She did as she was told as even she cared about her child. "You gave me nothing." He said, turning his attention back towards Cordelia. "You just used me to get back what you lost." "And I promised you a reward of power." Cordelia said. "What power exactly?" Eric asked. "The power which you lost or the power which you couldn't get without my help?" Eric's words stung. He knew that, he wanted that. "Eric, you are nothing without me." Cordelia said, anger climbing up her chest to reach up to her neck. "Nothing without what I gave you." "And you are nothing without what you lost." Eric shot back. "And do you know why you lost everything?" Eric's words just hung there, the halls went dead, quiet as a graveyard
