CAIVAN

Mother spoke of a small number of elves as being a stubborn and sometimes, proud people, but Saelyna makes the competition tougher.

I kick at a stone, sending it through the forest at breakneck speed. Something is off, and it's not just the smell of decay that signals recent use of xanten.

I can't fathom the root of my vexation. I ought not to give a fuck if her village was pillaged and she wanted to stay and get captured or worse. So why do I feel…this way?

Because you're human, asshat.

I want to laugh at the small voice in my head. If only I'd see myself as "human". Monster, more like, even though the pack would look like they had forgotten. All the more reason to keep in check with this stubborn, half-wit.

A turn to the left, and I stumble down a slope into a clearing. Here, the smell of burning flowers and bones is overwhelming. I gag as I push myself to my feet, and hold back from retching when I glance up.

The glade is wide, as large as a half of Eldad, and looks to have

    KEILENDarkness. I'm supposed to be used to it, the eternal bleakness of black. Maybe if I was in control of it, I would. But I'm not. Each time I'm drawn in here, it's like I'm a fly in a web. In a dark web. And the spider hovers about, never coming, but reminding me of its presence. 'Help!' I cringe at the word, at the sound of my voice, pathetically small and…helpless. You don't have a choice. Something is wrong, something terrible happened to you since Citadell. You need to be helped…you deserve to be helped. 'Do you?' I jerk at the voice. A low, snarling voice, all around me, it seems to speak. 'Who's there?! Who are you?!' I bark, my claws sliding out of my fingers. It chuckles, a sound that makes my skin crawl. I've heard it before, somewhere I don't want to remember, but I can't place it. And I don't want to do that either. The smell follows. The one that had induced the stabbing pain in my side, and still does. I groan, doubling over at the throb that racks my stomach

    CYRANQuain slips off like a hare once we arrive Eldad, while Fareedah lingers with Saelyna for a while. I don't listen to what they say, and I'm to exhausted to wait for her; mentally and physically. The safety and solitude of the hut (if somehow temporary) is what I seek. My heart leaps when I spot him standing there, in front of the hut. Someone had braided his hair back, in long, thick plaits that accentuate the amber-flecked brown eyes. He's wearing a white flannel shirt revealing his muscled torso, and a black leather trouser. An entirely different look. Makes him almost human. And handsomer than the wolf without a left eye. I try hard to keep a passive face, so hard. But when he steps closer with a small smirk on his lips, I let done my guard a notch and I find myself smiling back. 'Hey. Are you alright?' he asks, bending closer to get a proper look at my face, 'You look…pale'. I feel the grin disappear from my face with the flash of fires, the smell of death that had filled

    RONNThat's when I see her. Dark mist swirls all around her form, rising in spinning tendrils, her eyes glowing embers of fire, her claws sharp and protruding from her fingers like hooks. I hold up a hand, trying to shield myself from whatever threatened to shoot from those misty hands. 'Keilen?' My voice is barely a whisper as the shadows intensify.Sirgil barks in some distant part of the hut, I'm dimly aware of my fingers closing around the stone in my pocket. The air becomes thick with smoke, with the rotting stench of xanten and something worse. I launch myself at her, a deep grow resonating in my throat. But I'm here. I'm still standing here. Sirgil. Keilen…or whatever that is, turns swifter than the average wolven, faster than I can see and in that one deadly motion, strikes him into the wall to my right, cracking it with his impact. I gasp and drop to my knees, as the pain racks through my back in one brutal wave. I tighten my grip on the round, hard object, the same tim

    SAELYNA The prophecy, her eyes mean to say, even though she doesn't mention it. She doesn't know how much I know, how much Quain must have told me. The thought that our lives had been a cover, a facade, drains me of emotion, and all I can do is sink into a chair next to me. Veesa's rocking chair, I realize. How many nights had Earmon been here, while she rocked in its wooden seat, talking our future over with her? Argell? Our parents? I open my mouth to speak, but she must have guessed my thoughts, because she shakes her head. 'No. Your parents tried as much as they could to shield you as well as they could from the pains and troubles of the outside world. But then, it became inevitable, once your mother had made that prophecy'. 'Only it was for nothing, right?' I say quietly, 'Xanwed now knows about us'. Her look is sad, almost pitiful, and it makes my temper boil. 'I've always suspected the Nordinger boy; after all, blood runs thick. The usurper is wily, too wily for a deer-genn.

    RONNAs far as stories go, this one sure has got a lot of weight with it. My throat itches for more of ale, or something considerably stronger; anything to blank out mind; but one look at Keilen and what she had become in the last few minutes turns my stomach to lead. I almost wish it was a dream. That she had not switched to some demon wolf at the verge of ripping me in two. That she had not said what she just told me, speculated that the annis had possessed her. Either is too wild to be true. "It's not possible," I had said. All she did was laugh, in a dark, dark manner that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand. I begin pacing the room, one hand in my pocket, closed around the stone. It's cold in my grasp but at the same time, comforting. 'Why? Why would she…do whatever she did to you?' She cocks a brow. 'You mean amplify my powers?' 'Amplify?' I stop pacing, throwing a glance her way, 'Well that's one way to put it. Turn you to a monster more like….or amplified the mosnte

    CAIVAN'What do you reckon would have happened, what news Seirmon bears? Something bad? Do you think those raveners had gotten to them?' I groan at the thought; I'd avoided it altogether back at the plateau when I had looked out over the plain. Inevitable, it seems. 'If it's bad, Charlin would let us know. Or you'd smell it on her, the anxiety,' I state, and she scoffs. 'I'm good at masking my emotions,' she chips. 'And she wouldn't be making jokes,' I add. Father's hut looms in front of us like some ill bringer of doom. It certainly has played the part over the years…since mother's death. I fervently hope Seirmon doesn't bring more than we can bear. Inside, I spot his dark sienna hair behind a dining chair, and look around instinctively for a body. There's none, and I stifle a tremendous sigh of relief. Gylen pats him on the shoulder as he turns, his mouth quite full with what looks to be shellfish. He looks perfectly fine, thank the gods. 'Seirmon, you old bastard,' I mutter, mas

    SAELYNA'I said it the first night we came here,' he says softly, 'We should leave'. He looks very convinced, I have no choice but to hear him out. 'Leave? Why would we leave? Where to, Cyran? Believe it or not, our lives are forfeit once we leave these people, once we are in the open field for Xanwed'. 'We go to Asthan, then. Or we go further north, we take the grasslands, and board a ship from one of the port cities. Anywhere but here'. 'This is our home, Cyran,' I snap, 'I won't leave it for the usurper'. He purses his lips, and puffs out a long gasp of air, like he was expecting my response. His eyes turn contemplative, and he says, 'The more we stay, Saelyna, the more we bring more harm to people who love us. Don't you see it, yet?' I reach out for his hand impulsively, and squeeze it tight. 'They stand very little chance beside us. The least we can do is carry on what father and mother left behind. The elves deserve better than this, and so do the wolvens,' I say with a smile.

    CAIVANJenna pours him another glass of mead when Seirmon finishes. All Haron does is utter a grunt, while Veesa remains as she had been in the rocking chair since she came into the hut with Jenna. And father doesn't move from his position over the fireplace.I hate it when he takes up that posture; hands behind his back, eyes fixed on the flickering flames like nothing else mattered. That was how I found him the night she died. He didn't so much as look at me, not when I began sobbing, asking where mother was now. All he did was look. And look.Gylen's voice shakes me back to the present. 'So what are we waiting for?' he asks, 'The road is clearest in the day, we can move as swiftly as we can….' 'The road makes us easier targets in the day, think, boy,' Haron snaps, 'If what Seirmon says is true, we'd be sitting ducks for the Abominations. We cannot risk it'.If what Seirmon says is true, we should all be fleeing Eldad as we speak. If the Abominations slaughtered a pack west of Henna

Each minute brought them closer to the witch, closer to the woman who threatened the safety of the people of Eriu and their future. Every inch took them further away from home, further away from their families and their friends. Time was running short, and soon enough they would be forced to make a choice. Either they could save their Kingdom or die trying. They had lost track of the number of times they had narrowly escaped the clutches of the witches; yet, none of them gave up hope. A feeling of uneasiness settled inside of them, an uncertainty that they were approaching the center of the witch’s domain.

    With the amulet clutched tightly in his hand, Caivan rejoined Saelyna and Gylen, his expression determined. “I’ve found it,” he declared, his voice filled with a mix of hope and determination.As Cyran continued to engage the witch in a fierce battle, Saelyna stepped forward, her eyes meeting Caivan’s. “Give me the amulet, Caivan. It will amplify my magic and weaken her grip on the Queen.”Caivan nodded, passing the amulet to Saelyna with care. “Use it well, Saelyna. We’re counting on you.”Saelyna held the amulet close to her chest, feeling its power resonate within her. She took a deep breath, channeling her courage, her determination, and the collective strength of her friends.In that moment, time seemed to stand still. The air crackled with anticipation as Saelyna prepared to confront the witch head-on, armed with the ancient incantation and the newfound power of the amulet. The final battle was about to begin, and Saelyna was ready to seize their chance at victory.The room puls

    Caught in the crossfire SAELYNAQuain let out a long sigh, he was very curious, but, seeing how I answered, he thought he didn't want to disturb my concentration. I tried to concentrate as I thought about the sentences I had read from Gylen's writing.The sound of the door opening made Quain and I turn our heads. Caivan had just come out in the clothes he had changed into."Quain," Caivan called, causing Quain to raise half an eyebrow in surprise. "Me, Saelyna, Cryan, and Gylen are leaving. I trust you to take care of the others. Stay alert and keep an eye on the surroundings. Don't trust anyone except Prince Charles. I'll be back in a little over an hour, but if we're not back in an hour, I authorize you to take the others with you. Caivan gave Quain a message, then reached for me. "Leave the stone the queen gave to Quain, so he can access it if anything happens to us."I immediately nodded in understanding, it was only fitting that Caivan became an Alpha, famous for his ruthless wa

    Walking togetherCAIVANThe one I've been waiting for has finally arrived. Saelyna and Cryan came into my room."There's Gylen too," Cryan said to himself, then Gylen told him to sit by his side while Saelyna sat next to me."Why are you all here? Are you having a little meeting?" Saelyna asked with a half-raised eyebrow in surprise."No, we're just having a little discussion," I replied, standing in for Gylen.While Saelyna just nodded in understanding. "What about when you met Prince Charles? What did you talk about?" Saelyna suddenly remembered and asked me and Gylen."I'll explain it to you, but first I have to ask you," I grumbled as I looked at Saelyna from the side, then I picked up a map and some notes we had made because it would be useful for Saelyna and we didn't have to go too far in explaining it. It was all done by Gylen before the two of them came to my room."Everything is summarised here. I'll explain later. But where are you going?" I said, wondering when I saw that

Maybe Cryan had told him. "When I get back, tell me what happened while you were talking to the prince."Caivan followed my footsteps towards the room where the Queen was. "Of course, you must be careful. I will be waiting for you in the room." When we reached the centre room, with the Queen's room in front of it, guarded by several soldiers, Caivan told me to leave and that he would return to his room.Feeling my heart pounding, I steadied myself before walking over. The soldiers made way for me to pass, apparently they had been informed by the Queen that I was her guest."Excuse me Queen, it's a pleasure to be here and thank you for inviting me." I bowed slightly and waved my hands in front of my stomach.The Queen, who was in her seat, smiled at me and then told me to sit down in one of the empty chairs she

    First mission CAIVANI saw the Prince's legs move, he was about to turn and face us. This was the first time we had met, and I had sent the Prince a letter before we had spoken by telephone."Yes, you are my people. And we should protect you if you need our help." The Prince smiled broadly, he was quite handsome and authoritative. He shook his robes back, then walked over to me. I sat up and looked at him seriously. "Have you looked around your room?" he asked again as we faced each other."I have, Your Honour." I wasn't the only one who answered him, my friends in the back also replied."All right, just call me Charles. Are you the leader of them? Is your name Caivan? It's good to see you here, I hear you're a great fighter. If you are not tired from travelling and have more time, perhaps we can have a chat first. Or if you want to bring your deputy with you, that's fine too.I smiled broadly at that, then nodded briefly. "At your service, Your Honour." Then I turned to look at Gyle

    Prince's welcome SAELYNAI don't want to, he must be very tired. And who really needs to be carried by Caivan? We decided to walk together. Five minutes was not too far and long, we could observe each other's surroundings and make small talk."Later we will come to a village where people live a simple life and we have to be friendly, don't make any noise. Be polite if you want to pass through their area, when we walk again we will meet the market before entering the city park and there we can see the huge city of Lexington. Then our goal is to find one of the kingdoms there, the kingdom of Brahzeil is the largest and has a lot of knowledge we can seek. There is a prince there who will help us, I hope you don't make a fuss. This prince is called Charles". Gylen explained to the others as Caivan's representative, while they all nodded in agreement. There are ten of us on this journey. We had a well thought out plan and had made sure that we would not betray each other.After about five
