All Chapters of Reborn To Rekindle The Flame: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~ Elara ~*Mountains of Eldermere, Westfall*“Aveline and I hid in that cave for two days, merely surviving on droplets of water that made it through the rocks during the rain,” Celia said, lowering her gaze, carelessly wiping the tears from her face.“When we finally stepped outside, we found the warrior’s lifeless body lying on the ground,” Celia continued. “There were also Northhaven warriors who had perished near the cave, but most of the dead were ordinary werewolves from Embre.”“We searched for food next, whatever we could find,” Celia sniffed, taking a napkin from Ilias so she could dry her tears.“We smeared our faces with mud, just so no one would recognize us.”Celia took a deep breath and resumed, “We waited five days before finally deciding to return to the castle, or what was left of it.”“Many dead bodies were lying around, some heavily burned and unrecognizable. That was especially true within the Firebloods’ gathering hall.”“We found Her Majesty’s body and Prince Aldi

~ Elara ~*Mountains of Eldermere, Westfall*“If you recall, in the timeline of the frost, eternal snow started in Northhaven,” Celia said. “It did not reach Westfall…”She paused, maintaining her gaze on Elara. “It did not reach Westfall until your mother left for Asteria.”“Aveline met your father during one of his visits to Westfall as a young Alpha heir involved in trade. She pursued your father relentlessly and told me he was the one for her,” Celia shared, laughing at the memory.“My mother pursued my father?” Elara could not help but raise her voice.“Yes. She was very determined to marry your father,” Celia acknowledged.Next to Elara, Kael frowned. “That sounds awfully familiar.”Elara turned to her husband. He was staring back at her, his gaze filled with judgment.She flushed and admitted, “I suppose it runs in the family.”“So what if I am shameless? At least I get the man I love,” Elara declared brazenly. “So, that is what happened between the two of you?” Celia asked. “T

~ Mira ~*Ironwood Keep*[Since you have ruined my plans and pushed Lady Elara into marrying Prince Kael, you had better get on Cedric Ashbourne’s good graces and make certain he never leaves Ironwood. If the balance of power should change and House Ashbourne pledges its support to Prince Kael, he may very well claim the throne. We cannot allow that to happen.Your master sent word. He asked whether you had found any leads. I told him you had not. You had best find something soon.]Mira’s hands trembled as she read the note. There was no signature, but she knew exactly who had sent it. She crumpled the parchment in her fist, her eyes burning with anger.“How dare he?” she muttered. “He is not my master. He is nothing but a traitor to Asteria, yet he dares order me around as though I were his servant!”Three days ago, she had gotten into an argument with Cedric Ashbourne after demanding that he take her to Redstone Territory. She had explained that her Embre Gift might awaken further if

~ Mira ~*Road to Redstone*The road was rough. A few rocks had broken loose and scattered across the path, so Cedric had opted to ride ahead on horseback with one of his warriors to clear the way.Mira thanked the heavens that she had a moment alone to think things through.She stared at the pendant, and then she shut her eyes.She ended up smacking her head in the carriage, trying to force the memory out of her.‘Empty the pendant of flame.’“Okay, empty the pendant of flame,” she echoed. “What else? What else was it?”“Mira, remember! Try to remember!” she said.After wracking her memory, she finally remembered the rest.‘Let a Fireblood touch it and speak the words. If it burns, you have found one of the Firebloods.’Finally, she remembered!Her eyes rounded. “That’s it!”She panted while muttering, “I need to empty the fire first and let Cedric touch it.”“Stop,” she commanded. “Stop!”The carriage pulled to a stop. Mira rushed out and began releasing fire from her hands.“Arghh!”

~ Elara ~*Mountains of Eldermere, Westfall*“Firebloods may be mighty in their gifts, but they are not invincible,” Celia explained. “If a Fireblood is struck by an arrow and it pierces the heart, he or she will die.”“Most Firebloods were skilled in long-range attacks because of the fire they wielded, but some relied too heavily on their Embre Gift and neglected to hone their close-combat skills.”Celia smiled at Elara. “I think that’s why your father insisted on teaching you how to fight.”The words made Elara smile. Despite her parents never telling them the truth about their lineage, she somehow felt that they had been preparing them for something greater. ‘Had they known, somehow, that this day would come?’“My love, good morning.”Elara turned to find Kael, adjusting his clothes.She stood up and kissed his lips. “Good morning, Kael.”When they both sat in their seats, Celia stared at them for some time. She smiled and said, “You two remind me of Gareth and Aveline. I pray your
