Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 513: The Pull Of Ameline
I spent the remainder of the day with Ram in tow, following the pull of Ameline. There were several times we were forced to hide from approaching Guards and dodge fights still breaking out all over Ilogabon, simply blending in with the rest of the fleeing populace in most cases.I had no idea what Ameline was up to, but she led me on a labyrinth chase all over the hideous city, and I began to wonder as the largest suns set if she'd somehow managed to trick Ahbi's power into following a false trail while our quarry eluded us and escaped.Ram finally pulled me to a halt when yet another tug ended up in a dead end alley."Your method is getting us nowhere," he said, holding up his hands in defense as I spun on him with a snarl."You try following the geas of a dead demon Ruler," I snapped.Ram bowed his head with a little smile. "I'm not faulting you, Princess," he said. "But something is clearly making our job harder. Might I suggest something?""Go ahead." I stomped one foot befor
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 514: Rebel Battle
Ram turned me around and shoved me toward Mensa's little vehicle before the fleet of Guard transports appeared from the darkness above. I vaguely heard Phineasoralo shouting orders at her people, thrown to the ground when a ball of blazing demon fire exploded on the other side of the slim ship's hull, cracking it in two and sending the pieces spinning like tops.There went that idea. By the time I leaped to my feet, a shield firmly around me and, by physical association as he gripped my hand, Ram, two of the massive transports had already landed, Guards pouring out, magic flying.This way! Ram's jerk on our mutual grip almost tore my arm from its socket as he dragged me like a sack of dead weight for the first few steps until I broke through my shock and followed under my own power. Mensa huffed behind us, too far for me to cover him with my shielding, though I did my best. Explosion after explosion rocked the docking area, small transports and large carriers owned by the rebels dest
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 515: Nunaresh
Nunaresh approached at a rapid pace, the large transport's increased power traveling much faster than our smaller ride had been able to accomplish. I sat back and watched the tiny lights grow to towering buildings reminding me more of a human city than any of the others I'd visited here on Demonicon."Why isn't Nunaresh on the official tour?" I caught Ram's scowl before he answered."It's the only independent city on Demonicon," he said, voice level, but hands tightening on the sides of the control panel. That, paired with his frown, told me this was a major bone of contention for him. "The aristocracy can't be bothered with the lower plane cities, let alone one run by its own council. Your grandmother tried many times to coerce the rulers of Nunaresh to accept royal control, but she never convinced them and wasn't willing to start a war over it.""I'm amazed she let it grow at all." The city fell away to my right as Ram banked around the outskirts. "Ahbi was such a control freak."
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 516: Leader
"My lord," my guide broke my gaping silence for me, "Her Highness must be ravenous."Leader-my grandfather-nodded quickly and took my arm, linking it through his as he led me, unresisting, under a wide archway similar to the front door and into a long, narrow room, seating me himself in a massive chair before sitting beside me at the head of the table. My quiet guide gestured and the others in the room joined us, though I noticed he remained, silent and watchful, at my grandfather's shoulder."You seem surprised to see me, Sydlynhamitra." Leader-Grandfather-I'd heard his name before, hadn't I?"I thought you were dead or something." Way to mumble yourself into embarrassment, Hayle.Grandfather laughed, a deep belling sound, and his followers joined him. All but his protector who held as still as ever. And Ram, beside me."Whoever told you I was dead? Your grandmother?" He shook his head, helping himself to a mug of nectar, which I rejected when he tried to fill my glass. "That wou
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 517: Bring It On
Good thing I was prepared for the worst. Had already begun to gather my power, calling on my healthy paranoia and the fact I was so used to walking around with my shields as a daily wardrobe choice I merely had to boost them with the magic I held in reserve, more than enough to block Belkni's slim, large hand from reaching me.His power pressed against mine, not as a weight, but a slim blade, trying to slice through my wards and tear them open. I was ready for that, too, had read him like an open book, figured his quiet nature meant a more subtle style. I'd gone up against vampire Queens and Brotherhood sorcerers, demon princes and an Unseelie lord. And though I was well aware how dangerous my grandfather's bodyguard likely was, I was also confident he'd underestimated me.I was so right. His edged attack failed, skittering over the surface of my wards as I reached under him with my earth magic, Shaylee's green power surging forward to play and pinned him against the wall. Firmly. No
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 518: Trouble With Meems
I was just getting my bearings when a voice in my head brought me up short.Syd! Meira's faint connection grew stronger by the second. Was she in Nunaresh? Why?Meems. I grasped onto her, using Ahbi's power to boost the connection, reaching for my little sister with a desperation I hadn't known I was hiding. Are you okay?Am I okay? She sounded exasperated, frustrated. Even a little angry. And though this whole thing wasn't my fault, I guess I couldn't blame her. Where are you?Safe, I sent. I'm chasing down Ameline.Theridialis told us, she sent, calming a little, the touch of her stronger than anyone else who'd made it through to me, though still tenuous compared to our usual reach. But Syd, things are really bad here. Let Ameline try to get to the Node-she'll never make it. Dad needs us both here with him.Ostrogotho then. Meems, you know I can't do that. I drew a breath, trying to focus on the pull of the geas and my sister at the same time. Not only do I owe Ameline for my o
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 519: Tara
The girl was a trembling, sobbing mess, but when I sat on the stairs and reached for her, she rushed into my arms and hugged me as though she knew me.It was impossible to get anything out of her for the first minute or so. I carried her down the stairs and back into the street, following Belkni after his short, "This way," which sounded suspiciously like an order but offered a course of action.I only followed him because I had the girl to worry about. The next time he tried to boss me around, he'd be heading curbside.A narrow park with a small garden overlooking a waterfall into the lower levels of the city offered a perfect place to regroup. Sassy's sister sat next to me, patting the girl's back as she clung to me for dear life. Ram and Belkni kept a look out as frustration at Ameline's escape made it hard to sit still.I finally freed the girl's tight grip around my neck and made myself relax, knowing the poor thing was so shaken if I started demanding answers like Ahbi's magi
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 520: Ahbi's Agent
Whatever power Ameline used to disguise her path in Bilhaeder, she'd managed to do so again. It didn't take me long to realize she'd laid more false trail, though how she was accomplishing so much diversion I had no idea.Belkni led us to a rebel house where Tara was laid out on a soft bench and left to sleep while the rest of us were served dinner. I stuffed myself on purpose, keeping my mouth full so I didn't have to talk, poking and prodding at the problem of Ameline and the veil blockage until I gave myself heartburn. I left the table before the others were finished, exiting through the large doorways leading to a wide balcony overlooking the center of the city as it plunged in layers below me.It wasn't long before I felt Ram's warmth next to me, the heat of his skin pressed to mine as his shoulder brushed me."I'm sorry, you know I'm sorry, don't you?" He gazed out over the view, not looking at me, voice aching with regret. "Syd, I never meant for any of this to happen. It was
