Frozen Heart (the Heart Series, book 2) Book II - Ayla - Escaping II
Up in the sky was a Full Moon.The Black Tower was built very close to the castle. As Eluvene guided Godefray in the opposite direction of the city, close to the wall, Ayla looked at the place that had been her home and prison for twenty-two years. She hoped it would burn to the ground. She only regretted that the parchments Rhobart sent her when they were children were still in her room.Except for shouts coming from the castle, the Royal Garden was mostly quiet. Even if it was night and Ayla couldn’t see the garden well, she remembered how it looked when Galian’s wyvern landed next to the fountain. The Royal Garden, once beautiful and full of life, was dull as if all the life force of the plants and trees was gone.Ayla closed her eyes and imagined the garden she would one day have in Nordmar. She could see herself spending time with Rhobart in the garden, and—images of Fire Monastery’s ceiling collapsing over Rho, Milton and the twins came to Ayla’s mine. About a week after Godefra

As Eluvene led Rhobart and the others to the back of the Royal Gardens, where she had made an escape route, Ayla looked for one last time at the Royal Castle. The tower that once belonged to Saturas, Drax’s teacher, was burning. Flames were coming out through the windows. Ayla never learned what happened to Saturas. She wondered if Galian killed him or if he ran to the Water Monastery. As Rhobart took Ayla away from the place that had been a constant source of pain and suffering for her, she realized she didn’t care what happened to Saturas. He had never treated her kindly, not even when he healed the wounds Galian inflicted on her. Ayla rested her cheek on Rhobart’s strong chest. She was sure Galian regretted not having a Water Mage around the Royal Castle. Saturas would have put out the fire in seconds using his magic. When they reached the far end of the Royal Gardens, Eluvene signaled the others to stop. The tall wall that separated the Royal Castle from the rest of the Erylas w

Eluvene went to where Rhobart stood. “He tortured her in there too, but it is the only way out of here!”“Please!” Ayla begged. She choked on a sob.Kerra let out a sound of pain.The twins looked at Ayla with sad eyes. The woman that used to laugh with them all the time was only a shadow of her former self. Ayla’s cheeks were hollow. She was so thin that she could barely walk. Her body had become a canvas for bruises, cuts, and scars. But it was her eyes that stood out—they looked haunted. They were the eyes of someone that suffered too much.Godefray inhaled deeply. While he had not been physically tortured, the lack of food had taken its toll on his body. Emotion flashed into his green eyes. “Look at me, Ayla!” She did so. “You do not break! You do not yield! You do not show fear before your enemies!”Ayla shook her head. Godefray was wrong; she was broken. She was utterly afraid of going inside the warehouse. “Please!”“What if I put a sleep spell on you?” Milton offered.Dread fi

Standing next to the warehouse, Milton watched how Rhobart picked up Ayla from the ground. After using her magic, she lost consciousness. In Rhobart’s arms, she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. Godefray got up; his knees were still shaking. Sadness and concern filled his eyes.Kerra licked Ayla’s hand, letting out a yelp.Even tortured and full of bruises, Ayla still conserved that inner beauty Milton came to admire and appreciate so much. He wasn’t the only one that loved her; Ayla had gained the trust and respect of all of Rhobart’s men. Even Godefray, who disliked Ayla with all his heart and had sworn he would never accept her as his Queen, had been ready to give his life to protect her.Then there was Rhobart, the man Milton admired the most in his life. Since that cursed day, when Galian took Ayla and Godefray, Milton had watched how guilt ate Rhobart alive. No one knew that Rhobart and Ayla had married in secret. Not even Milton suspected. Rhobart had explained why they didn’

Godefray went to where Eluvene was and looked at the stairs. “King Amul. He tricked you into believing you killed him.” Rhobart growled. “He had Galian and the Dark Master torture Ayla in the Black Tower.”Drax looked at Ayla. “King Amul loved watching Galian torture Ayla.”“Son of a bitch!” Droyn muttered. “The rumors were true.”“If King Amul loves watching how people are tortured, I will make him watch how I torture Galian for years!” Rhobart promised. “When I am done with Galian, I will start with King Amul!”Milton felt the spell he put on the front door break. “We have to move! They are inside!”Godefray was the first to go down the stairs, and Rhobart followed him. Eluvene remained behind with Milton and Drax, adding more mana to the shield. The Paladins went down the stairs.“Go!” Milton said to Drax. The Water Mage looked one last time at the Fire Mage before following the Paladins. Eluvene added more mana to the shield. “What are you waiting for, woman? Go after the other!”

The Shamans lifted their left hands, the magic runes glowing in their big palms. Their lips moved as they talked in Orkish. The Orcs and mercenaries drew their weapons out and rushed to the river. Drax and Eluvene jumped out of the boats and went to Milton. Godefray wanted to do the same, but Rhobart growled at him, and the Paladin remained on the boat, his eyes fixed on Eluvene. “Let’s put up shields using our elements!” Milton said. The other Mages nodded, and he took out a magic rune. “Fire Shield!” Milton used as much mana as he could. A big firewall appeared in front of the Orcs, blocking their path. Drax was next. “Ice Shield!” Drax’s magic slowed down the mercenaries. Galian let out some curses. A wicked smile appeared on Eluvene’s face. “What is your biggest fear?” she asked Milton. “To be eaten alive by rats!” Milton answered without missing a heartbeat. “You wouldn’t fear rats if you cleaned your tower more often!” Tizgar said. He was left to Milton. The Paladin rem

Drax cleared his throat. “I am used to healing Ayla, and I wouldn’t mind taking care of her. As for your mana, I have a few potions left.” He took one out of his pocket and offered it to Milton.The Fire Mage drank it before returning the empty vial to Drax. “Thank you! How about I heal Ayla, and you go look for some magical plants? You know this kingdom better than I do.”Drax looked at Ayla. “If you need me, let me know. She has been my best friend since we were children.”Rhobart nodded. “I will. Take Droyn with you. He has some knowledge about magic herbs.” Drax opened the door. “Be careful,” Rhobart said as the Water Mage left the cabin.Rhobart undid Ayla’s cloak, revealing her bare arms. Milton inhaled sharply. “What the fuck?” the Fire Mage said.The previous night, under the dim light coming from the Moon, Milton didn’t notice the extent of the damage inflicted on Ayla. Her upper arms and shoulders were black from all the beating she received. The bruises on her lower arms we

Ayla had known she was too weak to use her magic. Everything that Galian did to her and the little food she was given daily had taken a toll on her body, but she did it anyway because she couldn’t let Galian kill those she cared about. It was enough that he killed her mother and grandmother. While Ayla was still in the Black Tower, she had promised herself she would use her magic to protect innocents from Galian. She had felt a dark presence inside him and spent a lot of time thinking about what Beliar offered Galian in exchange for his soul. There was so much the Dark God could give someone—power, magic, money, a long life. What could a man like Galian, who had money and power, want? Magic? Long life? Or something else entirely? After healing Godefray, Ayla closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, she was in Sarya’s room. It was not the first time Sarya summoned Ayla’s presence with the help of the Crystal Mirror. Sarya had told Ayla that the crystal used to make the mirr

Frozen Heart (the Heart Series, book 2) Book II - Ayla
His long hair was braided, and he wore not only a cloak identical to that of Rhobart—mottled grey, green and brown but also his tunic and trousers had the same colors, making him hard to be seen in the forest.“Who are you, female?” he asked.Rhobart took out his sword and put the tip against the Elf’s neck. “Put the bow down, or else I will remove your head!” Rhobart growled.But the Elf’s eyes were still fixed on Ayla, and he did not appear to have heard Rhobart. Rhobart nicked his skin, a few drops of blood ran down his neck.“Don’t release more arrows!” the Elf yelled, lowering his bow.Two more Elves jumped from the trees—a female and a male, both blondes—landing close to Kerra before moving closer to Rhobart and Ayla. The male had a sword in his right hand, while the female had a whip on her left hip and a short sword on the right one.“She looks identical to you, Taeral,” the female said. “Except for her ears, which are human.” She sniffed the air. “But she is only part human.”

The forest felt so silent Ayla could hear her heart pounding against her ribcage. Rhobart straightened himself in the saddle, his fingers brushing the pommel of his dagger. Ayla reached inside her to that strong spring of magic—her gift from her mother or father, or perhaps both.Kerra sniffed the air, her two tails whipping violently.“We mean you no harm,” Rhobart said, his voice strong. “We are just passing by!”“Where to?” the man asked from a different tree.Ayla wondered when he moved so fast. Or so silently.“Far away from Myrthana. I advise you to do the same!” Rhobart replied.“You lie! I see you wear the cloak of a hunter while the female has a black one, like those used by mercenaries. You had your chance to leave, but I am afraid your time is up,” said the man. Ayla tried to say something, but he went on, “Release the arrows!”Kerra growled and got in an attack position.A few leaves rustled, Ayla put her right hand in the air, and a magic shield appeared around Runner and

“Runner knows you. Trust him and me. Grab the reins,” Rhobart said before handing the reins to Ayla.Rhobart put his left hand under her tunic, his thumb brushed over her peak, while his right hand drew circles on her stomach. “Rho!” Ayla moaned when his hand went down, two fingers slowly circling and pressing her throbbing core. She felt as if she would melt. Pleasure started building in her lower stomach.“Are you wet and ready for me, Ayla?” asked Rho, his voice coated with desire.Oh, she was. Rhobart’s fingers kept moving, and his lips went up and down her neck. Tension kept building inside her body.“Yes,” Ayla forced the word out of her mouth.“Had you been wearing a dress, I would have ripped your undergarments, spun you around, and have you sit on my cock. I would have Runner gallop fast, and I would fuck you until we reached the rebel camp,” Rhobart said into her ear as his fingers moved faster.

Rhobart looked at Eluvene, his eyes turning cold as the stark winter. “He will never lay another finger on her again! But I need to know everything about King Amul. He is more cunning than I thought.”Eluvene’s green eyes went to Ayla. “King Amul accepted what Ayla refused,” said the Dark Mage, winking at Ayla. “I don’t know much about King Amul. He mostly spoke with King Galian and with my former Master. But since he accepted the Crown of Darkness, he stopped being a normal human.”Rhobart frowned. “What did Ayla refuse and when?”Eluvene shrugged.Between the prophecy, the Seeker, the forgotten book, and the attack on the Fire Monastery, Ayla had forgotten about her vision with Beliar. When she saw that crown on her father’s head, she hadn’t made the connection with the one she was wearing in her vision. “Nothing important,” said Ayla. And it wasn’t. “I chose you back then, and I will choose you always!”Rhobart’s gaze lingered on Ayla for a heartbeat before turning his attention to

Milton returned from the river and grabbed a bowl of porridge. “Rania is a Fire Mage novice, and Sylvar is a Snow Elf. They are n’alxaes, but the twins fucked Rania. I am still wondering how Sylvar permitted you two to live after touching what is his.”“We did not fuck her!” Eude protested.Rhobart snorted. “You only deflowered Rania... as you did with Skurja! Don’t think I forgot about my cousin!”Ayla had missed the bickering between Rhobart and the twins. When she heard the twins and Rhobart fighting for the first time, she was afraid for the twins, but as time passed, she came to understand the brotherly affection Rhobart, Milton, and the Paladins had for each other.“We might have plucked a petal or two, but nothing more!” Hudde said. “And Skurja had many petals gone by the time she was on top of me!”Rhobart folded his arms. “You mean you ripped all of Rania’s petals! And talk about Sjurka like that, and Ayla won’t stop me again from challenging you to a duel!” He looked at the

After Ayla and Rhobart completed their alxa-lotx, when she remembered the prophecy, Milton had been the first to suggest that Fire, Water, and Darkness could refer to mages. Ayla and Rhobart had spent many hours discussing it, trying to understand everything. In the Fire Monastery, when Ayla found the forgotten book, they searched for clues about Uzriel and the prophecy, but the book had yet to reveal all its secrets to her. The forgotten tome was still in her bag, together with Eude’s sketchbook, which she would burn, sketch by sketch, so that Rhobart wouldn’t get any new ideas from it. Or embarrass her with it.In the Black Tower, when Ayla and Godefray gradually started to become friends, they talked about the prophecy. Ayla had hoped the dragons would appear again in her dreams, but the last time she spoke to them had been before the fight with the Seeker. There were many things Ayla still didn’t know and wanted to learn before sailing to Korinus Island.Milton picked up a flat pe

Hudde pointed at the burning tent. “I was in the tent, sleeping with Eude, Hewe, Tizgar, and Gorn. The tent was not big enough for all five of us, and my ass was almost sticking out of it. I could have slept better, but someone refused to let me use his tent. Anyway, I was dreaming about… never mind that, when Milton set it on fire and burned my ass in the process,” he complained while turning around to show Rhobart and Ayla his burned trousers. Ayla covered her mouth and hid a smile while trying to look shocked. “This was my last clean pair too!” Thick smoke was coming from the burned tent, making Ayla’s eyes fill with tears. She flicked her index and middle finger, and a soft breeze swept through the forest, rustling the leaves of the trees, carrying the smell of smoke away from the camp. Ashes jumped on the two remaining tents, and they caught fire. Kerra came out of Rhobart’s tent with a big bone in her mouth. Drax took out a magic rune, and small grey clouds appeared above them,

Rhobart kept walking, and Ayla looked around the forest. While in Nordmar lived many dangerous beasts, Myrthana’s woods were quieter, and the animals were smaller. Even the shadowbeasts were not as aggressive as those that lived in the cold forests of the Northern part of the continent.“Earlier, when I was hunting with Kerra and Gorn, we stumbled upon a small cave. It hasn’t been used by wild creatures for some time, and furs and blankets are inside. Even some wine. I think the lumberjacks used the cave to wash because there’s a small pool inside. Would you want to go there? And while we wash away the dust from our bodies, we can also spend a few quiet moments.”It did not matter if it was only a lonely rock, as long as she was with Rhobart. Ayla nodded against his chest, his scent soothing her. “I don’t know if I told you, but I’ve missed you terribly,” she said as the sun began to set. Rhobart tightened his arms around her. “I was afraid I would never see you again.”“I will never
