Sword of the Godslayer
Cassana has only wanted two things: to be a wizard and to get away from her small village. However, certain circumstances have been holding her back. Now it seems like she's going to be stuck in her hometown forever, but she is not quite ready to give up on her dreams yet.
Minos is not a difficult man to like, charming, eloquent and brash, he has all the makings of a swashbuckling adventurer. So when the mysterious Prince of Zephyrus called for an expedition to find the missing Sword of the Godslayer, the only weapon known to have killed a god, Minos was the first one to step up to the task.
Cassana and Minos met under stressful conditions, and it's made evidently clear that they don't like each other. But if they both want to achieve their goals, then they have no other choice but to put aside their differences and learn how to work together.

Chapter: XXII - At The GatesRobb tied the net on a wooden peg, making sure it was attached firmly. The last two times he did this, the rabbit managed to run free with the net, which they found a couple of yards away, without the rabbit. This time around, Robb made sure to double check if the string would hold, same with the four other nets he placed on the other rabbit holes. The first time Lira taught him this method of hunting rabbits, he was so excited, but as he continued doing this for days, it started to feel like a chore. Minos' and Ashvell's ways were more exciting and thrilling. Robb looked back to the direction of their camp, a thin strip of smoke had started to rise from the canopy. The sun was about to reach its peak and he wasn't finished with his task yet. He grabbed Scout and hurried to one of

Chapter: XXI - Departure"I'm sorry, who are you?" Cassana snarled, raising her tensed shoulders and reflexively reaching for a phantom staff. Bonnie stepped back and Ashvell stepped forward shielding them behind. "Relax, she's with me.." Minos uttered. "My name is Lira," said the new arrival, trying her best to appear non-threatening. "She will be joining us on our way to Soliton. And then from there to wherever," explained Minos. "And who decided that?" asked Cassana. "Me, of course." "Don't fret, you wouldn't

Chapter: XX - UnmaskedCassana placed all that she needed on a small desk beside the creaking bed: a bowl of crushed garlic, bottle of vinegar, rolls of bandages, a curved needle and spools of thread. If she had a focusing stone right now, she wouldn't need any of these, and she should be able to relieve Rei of all his injuries in no time. Ashvell stood behind her, ready to assist her in case she needed something. Trev is standing by the door, watching, or maybe studying how Cassana works. She was the learned one after all, and he was merely a hobbyist. Cassana started by wiping the blood off from Rei's arms and neck. She then studied his garment to try and figure out how to remove it from his body but the foreigner motioned for her to stop. "I'll have to undress you to clean your wounds. You also need to tak

Chapter: XIX - Another Drow"What are you doing here?" Minos asked the cloaked figure. "Looking for you." The figure stepped closer, pulling down the hood of her cloak. She was a drow, tall and lanky, with a skin that glowed like an amethyst under the sunlight, and long wavy hair dyed a dark brown. "And how did you find me?" asked Minos again. "You really have a knack for asking the stupid questions..." the drow mocked. "Smart men ask stupid questions." "Said who?" "Read it in a book, some philosopher. He said people of great intelligence know that they don't know everything, hence they won't shy away from asking questions, even those that others might deem,stupid" "Kind of ironic, coming from you." "As if you were surprised." The female drow slowly stepped

Chapter: XVIII - RecoveryThe village Minos returned to was a far cry from the village he left from the previous night. Nobody was screaming or shouting for help. Nobody was running back and forth to fetch and bring pails of water. For a moment, Minos thought the horrific things that happened the night before were all just part of a feeble dream, a haunting nightmare. Something that he made up in his head. Minos had a dull life growing up, but he was obsessed with telling fantastic stories. Not really being in a position to experience those kind of stories, he would sometimes make one up or exaggerate other kid's tales and claim them as his own, planting himself in the center of the narrative. Res assured, he would oftentimes be contented with simply reading every book he could find, and retelling them for others to hear. &n

Chapter: XVII - Morning AfterA haze of orange light was breaking through the dark blue canvas of the sky above. Minos felt the misty breeze touching the back of his neck. All the windows in the manor had been shattered, and he could see outside where the walls and trees that surround them. Watching Cassana's sob over Otheric made him feel sick so he stepped back and turned away, scanning the destruction that their fight had brought instead. On his left, where the door to the gallery once stood, he could see the bodies of the two drows they encountered last night, half buried in rubble. To his right, another drow laid on the floor, this one appeared to be a woman. He approached her and quickly realized that she was still breathing. He turned her head to face him and he felt his stomach lurch from the sight he beheld
