An Assassin's Magic Chapter 43: Another Bargain
Shadows lingered from every dark corners of the stone walls as Mayari and Helen, along with Sir Eyron, the warden, descended in the dimly lit stairway that leads to the underground dungeon.Instead of flaming torches, blue glowing crystals are attached against the rough walls. And it have identical symbols engrave in its smooth surface. Along the way, it gives a faint glow that is enough to light up the path but not to chase away the lingering darkness.Their footsteps continued to echo in the surrounding as their shoes repeatedly collide to the hard pavement of the stairs that seems to go on with no end, making Mayari wonder of how deep is this dungeon."If you wouldn't mind, may I ask you something personal, Ms. Revinyr?" Sir Eyron broke the silence that accompanied their descend."Please address me with my given name." Helen politely insisted. "My family name is too formal for my liking and as for your question, it depends.""Well then, Ms. Helen." He cleared his throat. "You are a

"No." Mayari instantly replied."Is there anyway that I could change your mind?" Jim tried to persuade."No.""Do you need to think about it?""No.""Is there any chance I could change your mind?""My decision is final." Mayari uttered."Bummer." Jim sighed. "I guess you don't need my skills and connections to easily find the mastermind.""Anyway, that's all the information I have and that's all there is to it." He said. "So farewell, May."With that, Mayari left the room and was met with Helen and Sir Eyron. Mayari immediately informed them what Jim told her leaving out the detail of the elf's proposal.If only Jim and Mayari's situation are different, she could have accepted his offer since she rely on information before making a move.She could do her own findings but that will be her main struggle and will also take longer time due to the fact that she have no connections and have limited knowledge in the current realm she is in.She could ask her teacher, Ms. Helen, about the Ars

Mayari silently watch the snow heavily pouring outside through the glass window across the room. The snow storm only worsen as time goes on so she and Helen were forced to stay in the Sirens Keep for the night.The screeching of the wind and the loud tapping of the descending snow in the glass window provided no comfort for Mayari. She couldn't sleep no matter how she tried to rest. In contrary to Helen, who is sleeping soundly on the other bed.While lying on the soft mattress, Mayari kept on gazing to the window as the harsh storm continued to swirl beyond the wall that sheltered her from its fury.Time was slow but after hours of staring into nothing, the storm finally calmed down, leaving only the gentle snow rain that brought tranquility in the late of night.It was the perfect time to fall asleep. However, Mayari's eyes instantly darted towards the large mirror of the room when she suddenly saw a shadow's reflection passed by with insane speed.It was strange...The mirror is f

"You said that the passage has been there for decades." Mayari stated. "Do you know of its origin?""You're curious," Aria commented. "Its origin is deeply connected to the true tale of the 'Jealous siren of Thee'.""Mer Adrienne.""Yes." Aria nodded. "The fallen princess didn't kill her sister's betrothed out of jealousy, rather, she killed him because she discovered that he will poison the crown princess after ascending the throne.""Kings and Queens, even though they rule side by side there is no denying that the King have more political power than the Queen." Aria pointed out, "However, in Myrim, the Queen have more power both in spiritual and in ruling than the King.""But if ever, a misfortune struck the Queen. The Kings will take her place." The dragon informed. "The groom have great greed for power hidden in the facade of a righteous and noble bearing.""Mer knew of the merman's ugliness and try to convince her parents to choose another candidate but her plead wasn't heard, an
An Assassin's Magic Chapter 47: After Two Days
Time pass by in silence between the two, Evan eventually felt the heat returning to his once freezing body and his temperature was restored to normal.While still waiting, the prince then felt Mayari's arms loosen its grip and the weight of her head, lying in the back of his shoulder.'Did she fell asleep?' Evan asked himself.With the slightest movement, Mayari's limp body suddenly slid down from his back and almost hit the cold floor. Fortunately, he caught her in time.He held her sleeping form in his arms and shifted her in a more comfortable position while trying his best not to wake her up."This is a first," Evan mumbled to himself. "I never thought that you would trust me enough to fall asleep by my side, Mayari."Evan gently brushed away the strands of raven hair in her face, then fixed the coat to cover her body and keep her warm."You never once lowered your guard when you are with anyone. I, too, have no exception.""You must have been tired."Seeing her peacefully sleeping
An Assassin's Magic Chapter 48: Dungeon Escape
While laying in the cold dark cell, Jim fought the urge to sleep and just call it a night. He waited patiently for something to happen until he heard multiple grunts followed by the chimes of armors heavily collapsing to the stone floor.Jim's long pointed ears perked upon hearing the noise, and his eyes immediately darted towards a cloaked figure standing on the other side of the iron bars, with several guards knocked out cold on the ground.Mayari swiftly pulled down her hood and opened the cell with just one twist of the silver key. She then motioned her head to the right, signaling the elf to quickly move out."That took longer than I expected. I almost fell asleep." Jim commented with a yawn as he stood up and stretched his arms."But I'm glad to see you again, May!" He walked towards her with a mischievous smile.Once he got closer to her, he was suddenly greeted with a dark cloak harshly thrown right in his face."Geez, could you just give it to me nicely like a kind loving lady
An Assassin's Magic Chapter 49: The Duke
"May I borrow your time for a while, Miss Mayari Alverno?"A familiar man's voice echoed thru the palace hall followed by the settling silence as the clacking of Mayari's heels abruptly halted. She then turned her body halfway to meet the owner of the voice, whom requested her attention.It was already been months since her visit from the country of Myrim, nothing too exciting happened since then, except for her learning magic from her proud teacher. However, now that the unlikely of someone have called her name, she felt the tingling sensation of unexplainable foreboding — a sense of danger brewing that shall unfold before her in time.He was standing a few meters away from her with a stern gaze as he awaits her reply.

Mayari traced the surface of the silver emblem as it glinted upon the soft yellow shade of the gentle fire of the candle."Yes, that is the emblem of the Royal Branch Family of Arscelor." Evan confirmed."Which means, your uncle, Duke Fernando Arscelor, is the culprit." Jim stated. "Since he is the only branch family the Arscelors got... along with his family, of course.""We can not be certain." Evan contradict. "This could be a set up.""I have strong gut feeling that it is the duke." Jim said as he leaned on the wall. "If not, then it must be your cousins.""I'll say it again, we can't be certain.""This is the only evidence we have, and this is what we follow. Right, May?" He glanced at her."I am already onto it." She spoke as her focused remained on the shiny insignia."See." Jim smirked.While Evan just remained silent as he ignored the elf's irritating smug."So what's the plan?" Jim asked."The engagement party will be held at their estate." She set the emblem down the table

"She have been really busy lately, it is good to know that she made time to visit.""What's the situation?" Mayari inquired.Dr. Ashley paused to arrange her herbs and ointments on the table before replying hesitantly."Umm... It has been quite... hectic." She heaved a heavy sigh and turned towards her patient. "The citizens from different kingdoms are becoming anxious, soldiers are passively bullying different races, and the enemy's army are drastically growing as the days go on.""Pardon me, Dr. Ashley." Lissy spoke up from beside her mistress. "May I asked something?""Yes, go on, Lissy." Ashley nodded. "You do not need to be too formal with me, I am just a mere local doctor.""Thank you, Dr. Ashley." The maid bowed in gratitude. "Why haven't the Royals attack yet? they have been planning for quite

"Welcome back." A voice, devoid of emotion greeted Mayari upon her wake.As always, the sky in her mind was a tapestry of swirling gray and blacks of cloud casting a somber mood over the dried grassy land.Laying under the tree, the air feels thick and heavy, as if nature itself holds it breath. The lifeless branches above form a canopy, their silhouettes stark against the murky sky.Mayari's dark bay eyes traveled from branch to branch, searching nothing in particular. Each gnarled limb, stripped of its leaves, seemed to tell a story of decay and resilience. The bark, cracked and weathered, bore the marks of countless seasons endured.She felt a strange connection to the tree's silent testament of survival, as if in its barren form, mirrored some unspoken part of herself. The air around her was still, amplifying the quiet reverence of the moment as she continued to study every inch of the lifeless monument.As she traced the skeletal remains of what once was a vibrant tree, something

She regained her consciousness but she could only see darkness, and felt a bandage was firmly wrapped around her eyes, indicating that she haven't fully healed from her injury.Will she be able to see again?She felt a hand suddenly touch the bare skin of her shoulder.
