We got back to the my major army section, the place where I mainly spend most of my year, it was home for me, my tent was bigger here than in the temporary settlement closed to the capital and it was more luxurious, I have a feeling that Themis was going to like this place much, I turned to look at my wife to see her looking weary, she is not used to being in the saddle for long and she kept on rubbing her eyes and gripping the reins of Tyra so tight as if that was the only thing keeping her on the saddle, I watched her as she got the first look of my army, her eyes widened in shock and then became shuttered as if it was at this exact moment she was realizing the extent of the power I have as the warlord of the Dar empire.
I came down from Stormpacer saddle as I slapped his flank and he raced off to the stables where I am sure that he had missed his space, I walked to Tyra and helped Themis to come down from her saddle alth

OREL POVAs soon as I got to Elison tent, he spoke to me. “Did she even know what she did?”“My guess is no. she didn’t know that she just saved us months of haggling back and forth with people who weren’t going to help us.” I replied quietly. I had made sure that Themis was asleep before I left her in our bed to come to Elison tent to discuss what she unknowingly did earlier that day.“We have to know the extent of her gift.” Elison voiced“And how do you suggest we do that, she hasn’t given us a reason to question her about what she knows and do I need to remind you that it hasn’t been long since the Dar Empire left the archaic way of killing people with gifts less than hers. She will be suspicious and will clam up and that will make it harder for us to see her slip.” I explained.“Cannot we do something, anything about this? We could show her what this is and explain what she has done for u

Orel left the bed yesterday night.I don’t know how I knew of this but I knew it was true, I wondered what he left the bed for but I didn’t say anything as he kissed my nose this time and told me that I will meet him at noon so that we could spend time together and that what happened yesterday will not take place today since he had informed everybody in the camp of my status, then he ordered me back to sleep.I slept with a smile because I was getting used to him, with his mood and attitude, normally if it was someone from my tribe trying to pull such a stunt on me by ordering me around, I would have retaliated and it would not have been nice but with Orel, he made me feel safe with his actions, like I was cherished and well-loved although I know better than to give my heart to anybody. Including my husband, my thinking would be warped and centered on him that I will not be able to make the

Within the hour I saw Gwenn, I was back in my tent, lying on the bed and feeling sick. I would like to blame everything on my encounter with Gwenn but I knew it wasn’t that after all, she didn’t have that much power over me even though I wanted nothing more than try to take her head off.No, what was happening was all me, my body was reacting just like the way, my mother linage always react whenever their visions was trying to warn them of something. Not really like a vision but I could not explain it, after living all my life with this gift of sight, it still manages to leave me fumbling for words to describe what was going on. It was still related to the visions but this was more like a feeling or knowing, that something was going to happen and I had the power to change it if I wanted to.The feeling, I was getting was a bad one and I wanted to change it. I signed as my guard called for me from outside the tent, I

The night was not funny at all.A huge storm rolled in when me and Orel were already in bed and it was so bad that some tent were being ripped out of their location.Orel was called to help and for me not to be alone, Dyane was escorted to my tent where we both sat silently as we waited for the storms to be over, there was not much Orel could do at that moment other than to minimize the damage being done.The rebuilding will be done after the storm but that was not what plagued me. What plagued me was the fact that there were warriors caught out in the rain and they must be very weary, with a storm like this, not all would return. I had already started my mourning of them.“My lady, the warlord will be okay.” Dyane said when she noticed my tears.I shook my head as I answered her “You would not understand.”

“Nothing.” Orel said confused.“You must have done something, since I am sure that you are the only one in the camp who can make her cry.“I didn’t do anything.” Orel said again as he moved away from his friend looked close to punching him, he approached me slowly and reached out to me as if I was a frightened little lamb. When I didn’t shy away from his touch. He gathered me into his laps as he petted me while more tears fell from my eyes.“What happened?” Orel asked my with his voice the gentlest I have ever heard it.“Nothing.” I replied as I made efforts to stop the tears from still flowing.“Then why are you crying.” Elison asked as Orel aimed a glare at him.“Because I am scared that I will lose Orel.” I sobbed as I wrapped my hands tightly, around Orel felling that this will be the last time that I will be able to touch him this way.“Why wil

The next day, I woke up with Orel still beside me in the bed. I was sore. I should have paid attention when he said that the next step of our relationship could start, what was I expecting? Wooing? I was already his wife. Still I was shocked that he was still beside me, normally he would have been gone since dawn. “Stop acting as if you are still sleeping wife.” Orel sleep filled voice said a moment before his hand dragged my body more closely to his.“I was not acting” I lied through my teeth, I was acting.“Today, we will bathe together this morning then have breakfast before joining others.” Orel said ignoring my earlier statement.“I should have known that the reason you remained behind was to drag me there and not for my company.” I grumbled as Orel smiled.“The reason why I remained behind is to spend time with you.” He said as his hand drifted to my butt before he grabbed it

Twenty minutes later, I was standing in front of Gwenn in the training field holding my sword with my two hands, I would love nothing more than my twin’s swords but I have a feeling that Gwenn will laugh at me for been childish to liking that weapon with this among my arsenal.“Okay, what should I do?” I asked her as she gave me a grin that chilled me to my core.“Try and defend yourself against me.” Gwenn replied as she rushed at me with her sword. I gave a yelp as I quickly raised the sword to defend myself against her attack. When our swords met, a fiery of sparks flew off the sword ads I felt the vibrations from the force Gwenn used down my arms. My arms felt as if they are not mine. I pulled all my weight into the swords as I pushed towards her and I was rewarded with her stumbling backwards.She narrowed her gaze at me as she came at me again, this time swinging the swor

OREL POV Gwenn matched into the tent with anger written all over her face. “What’s wrong?” Elison asked getting tensed at the fact that’s she was angry. I was tensed too, no matter how angry Gwenn makes me with her childish attitude, it doesn’t change the fact that I am used to always protecting her and keeping her happy.“Your wife doesn’t know about Warriors bonding with their blade. And I would not be surprised if she picked that sword that you showed me was hers because she is vain. She and the sword are not in accordance at all. She nearly split her skull open with her own sword.” Gwenn ranted as me and Elison settled in with the others as we waited for her to steam down. You do not interrupt her while she was in a mood, she might attack you just to pour her frustration out on you.“How can she be married to you for more than a week and have not noticed that you and your sword ar

“You have a pretty amazing life here.” Themis said as her eyes take everything around her while holding her babe close to her chest, I wondered what she saw and did not see, my sight and hers were different now. I saw the wonders and the mundane and none shocked me anymore.“You think.” I snorted as I rose from my throne seat which was slightly smaller than that of my husband, it was very comfy and a guilty pleasure of mine. Whenever I am on it, I don’t feel the insecurity that is crashing around me. “Enough talking, I haven’t seen my godson in a while, hand him over.”“And look, there she goes threatening me for my own son.” Themis jokes as I wrapped my arms around Themis in a hug. “I have missed you.” Themis confessed.“I knew it, I knew that you would miss the way I heap insults on you.” I teased with a laugh as I untangled myself and held Themis so

It’s been two weeks since I killed the king of Erisea, two weeks of Orel taking control of the empire and putting Dariths in top positions, now it is time to go home… it would not be long before I would welcome my son into the world, I want to do that in the capital even with Estrid there, it was still the second place I know as home and more convenient than the warrior plains of Dar where Orel mainly spend his time, it was also close to winter.According to Orel, we will spend winter in the capital as the wild fields of Dar was not the best place to raise a new born child. This he told me when he started to talk to me again, after shaking me so hard that my teeth clattered together and then refusing to talk to me. He and Gwenn spent many last night together sharing each other pain and grief. I hoped that it made them feel better but I wasn’t too sure if anybody would ever feel better after losing their friend who was a part of their soul.

Gwenn PovMy head felt like burst from the knowledge that was flashing through my head, the closer I got to the camp, my people were in. Hundreds and thousands of things, I never knew existed not to talk of need to learn ran through my mind and sank in my brain, most of them were powerful words… not spells. My brain provided me with the right word to use.“Are you okay mistress?” Sorens asked in worry behind me.I wanted to laugh, how do you define okay anymore? My life had stopped being okay a while ago when I was wedded into Northshore. My best friend died for me, my husband was probably on top of another lady at this moment, I just learnt that my new people were not demons but something close to, I had a war to fight and I could not even be left alone to mourn. I didn’t bother to try and answer Sorens question because it was clear that I was not okay. I got to the camp to meet the rest of the le

Gwenn PovThe camp was quiet, everybody was feeling the loss… not as much as the three of us. Themis, Orel and me. For a day now, we have done nothing but remain within Elison space, sitting among his things, not talking or moving around much. We didn’t care if we were in public or neither did we try to pretend to be strong for our warriors.“He always so patient with me, he taught me my first sword trick.” I said softly, the first one of us to break the silence, Orel turned to look at me with eyes that looked as if the soul have been sucked out of them.He was the first person to ever beat me in a bawl then he suggested that we should join the army together.” Orel added.“I cannot believe he is gone.” I voiced as I rubbed my palms on my shoulders like I was cold but I knew it wasn’t the cold, I was feeling the piercing loss of our friend and brother and I also knew that I would not accept comf

ELISON POVMistress of the whip, Gwenn is called, I am called something more practical, something which might not be related to torture techniques or brilliant fighting skills just like Gwenn and Orel dubbed titles but it was still important, it was still enough to be seen as special. The master huntsman is my title. Nothing can out run me, nothing can escape my clutches once I start my hunt.And now, this hunt has started, to save my sister life, a race against time… I pray to the gods, please don’t let anything happen to her, I am on my way…I am coming to take the death that is rightfully mine.********************************************DYANE POVHe left, even with knowledge that he would die, all to save those he considered as family, all to save his honorary sister.

Orel PovEven with my mind on Themis, I didn’t have enough spare time to hunt her down until it was evening. When I found her, she was with Gwenn and Elison and from the looks of it, was solely distraught and begging Elison to agree to something, Elison, I noted was also looking pale and a little too taunt for my liking.“What’s going on here?” I asks as soon as I got close enough to hold my wife so she would not jump in shock as I approached them from the direction her back was turned to.“Apparently, I might leave you all soon.” Elison said with a wry grin on his lips but his eyes were hunted.“Don’t be silly, you are not going anywhere even if we have to tie you to keep you safe, I am sure that we can avert this.” Gwenn said in a brash tone as if she was taking on an unwilling candidate that would beat her and know this fact yet she is still charging into the battle with a war cry and weapon in her hands, w

GWENN POV“Why are you all doing this to me?” I scream as soon as I entered the camp where my so called warriors erected for themselves. Bodyguards, that’s what they are, they protect me among my friends but the moment when I step into the battle field they withdraw from me.“My Queen.” Sorens appears next to me. I would have been shocked about this before I left to help my husband but not anymore, not when I am just as fast as him and just as inhuman too, the speed which leave me the moment I also enter the battle field.“If I was your Queen you will obey my orders to help in the war.” I yelled at them not willing to let the tears pour from my eyes although it was getting hard.“You know that we cannot.” Sorens replies nervously… he was the most humane among them all, the rest were slowly appearing and looking on with me discussing with their commander with no expressio

“What do you mean that we are leaving?” I asked her husband sitting up from the bed where I was lying down since I woke up and had been feeling fatigued so I still laid down. Why on earth did I think that I could close my eyes to rest when I just finished telling Orel what has been going on? Of course I should have expected this, I should have expected to wake up to see that Orel has stirred the camp into a flurry of activities.“I mean exactly that Doe. We have to go after the Erisean but we would not use their route, we will take another.”“Does this mean that you have an idea where they are heading to?” I asks my husband as my cover cloth dipped down exposing my body to Orel who stopped in the middle of raising his shirt to stare at the skin I exposed not on purpose. “Orel, answer me.”My voice seemed to snap Orel out of whatever trance he was in. “Of course. I know where they are going, i

OREL POVThemis never left my side, all through my healing process she has been always near me, and whenever I was awake she always sang to me. I never had any doubt that she loves but if I did, they have been put to rest. I have been hearing tidbits about what went on during my captivity but nobody will tell me anything even when I threatened to have them whipped, Dyane’s answer to that particular threat of mine was to laugh and say that Themis will do something worse if she did tell me, according to what has been going on, Themis refused to tell me the state of the camp or things that happened in my absence because she wanted me to be well rested before I learnt of anything that happened. She told me this five days after I have arrived at the camp and for the next two weeks after, it was what was repeated to me by the maids who helped Dyane with healing, those that brought food even my commanders repeated the same thing to me when I asked them, it feels
