Chapter 29

~Emily~

The morning arrived quickly for me.

I woke up at dawn and went to the kitchen to prepare Zayne’s breakfast myself. I knew fully well that neither Flora or Crystal would be in the kitchen, it was still curfew hour.

After a good night's test, all my fatigue vanished. And most of the minor cuts I suffered yesterday had all been healed. But for a few aches in my joints, I felt as good as ever.

I couldn't help myself but feel the distance between me and my goal was ever close.

I sneaked into Zayne’s room, my feet soft and soundless and gently dropped the tray on his stool.

I left a note next to it, about my destination at the training grounds.

I left the castle and headed down to the training grounds. The curfew wasn't held in the town outside the castle.

A few town folks were already up and doing, and had resumed their work for the day.

I approached the training grounds and to no surprise it was almost empty.

Just how I liked it.

“Emily, over here!”
