2024-10-29 19:42:56When Orel gave me my double swords in the evening without saying anything about what Gwenn might have called our training today, I relaxed a little bit, maybe Orel didn’t see me as much of a disappointment but I was trying my best and it was not as if I wanted to cause harm to myself on purpose but when I removed the sword from it scabbard, I felt lightness and knew that I will be better at defense against Gwenn tomorrow than today. I just needed to ensure that I remain light on my feet although I was scared that she might break the sword with hers because they looked too light and so flimsy that I was worried about their survival.
“Don’t worry, they will make it through. The swords are strong and light for easy use, it is a very fine sword.” Orel said from behind me as I jumped up and away from the sword before I did something stupid like show my husband that I could cut myself open with the swords which he brought for m

I left the stables when it was close to noon to continue practicing on my target that was when I saw Elison besides it.“Go away.” I said in greeting to Elison who nodded.“Good morning to you too. I see that you are sharing the same amazing deposition with your husband.”“Then share in his not mine.” I growled at Elison who shook his head.“Both of you are angry, what happened.” Elison said as I paused in strapping on the scabbard to look at him in shock.“Orel is angry, what gave him the right to be.” I demanded.“I don’t know, that is why I want you to tell me.” Elison said as I shook my head.“I don’t know why he is angry.”“Then why are you angry.” He asked.“No reason that concerns you.” I said as the bitter taste came into my head again, I knew t

“That is enough Wife.” Orel said with hard eyes staring back at me. I tightened my grip around the sword until he also increased the pressure he applied on my wrist until I have no choice but to drop down the sword. When he reached for my other sword, I gave it to him willingly because I could see that I had gathered a crowd to watch me.Orel threw my swords far from me, as he turned to face me again, I wrenched my hand out of his hold. And marched away from the two of them. I saw Dyane and I walked towards her with my face drenched with sweat and looking like a cloud. She didn’t shy away from me. I glanced back at the field only to see Orel knelt close to Gwenn, I turned my face away from the sight as Dyane put her arms around me and led me away from the scene. I didn’t want to see Elison face too. Even if Orel didn’t warn me, Elison should have.Dyane took me to he

I knew that I was hiding, Dyane knew I was hiding since I haven’t left her tent since I woke up and controlled my random bursts of tears, she knew this because I had told her enough times that I hate being confined. I hate whatever I was feeling but I was not hiding because of attacking Gwenn, gods knows that I don’t feel an inkling of guilt for what I did to her but still that doesn’t change the fact that Orel stopped me and his rage for barely concealed when he stopped me. I don’t care about his feeling. He can go to hell for all I care about but what I was concerned about was the fact that I very much afraid of his wrath, I had never seen Orel with that cold unknown emotion burning behind his eyes and with the way he gripped my hand hard, I just knew that I had to leave his presence before he will do something more worse than cause bruises in my arms.“I cannot believe, the cheater did this to you.” Dyane said as if she w

OREL POVThis is all my fault, there is no way I could deny this, my future with I was planning with Themis might as well be a mirage because I used my hands to crumble everything that I was building well before. Why didn’t I stay behind yesterday as I beg for her to forgive me not even to understand where I am coming from? Gwenn is like my younger sister but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t act jealous sometimes, I knew that I didn’t punish her when she played her joke on Themis and I can just imagine how these things were placing in Themis mind, I wish she could tell me all her worries on this issue so that I would lay them to rest.I snorted at that thought. Themis is still too angry to be worried about issues concerning me and Gwenn, I am sure that her only issues right now is to make us suffer in pain or make me suffer in pain while she kills Gwenn, who knew that she had that k

I woke up in a mood worst that the one I went to bed with. I was angry and cranky although I suspect that the crankiness was as a result of not sleeping well which was as a result of Orel not being closed to me, two nights in a row and I am already feeling as if someone is going to attack me in my sleep and nobody will protect me. I know that I should at least try and put everything behind me and get Orel to sleep in his side of the bed this night but my pride would not allow it, if it means that I have to bring up the issue to Orel then I rather have sleepless nights until whenever he deems is right to return to his bed.My mood was rubbing off on Dyane who came to help me get dressed, today I wore one of my finer gowns which not only send across the message that I didn’t want to train today but also sent across the message of my rank which meant that I could order people around which is nice because that is what I plan on doing today.

Two weeks later and so much work that I could choke on it, no talking to Orel and training on my own, I broke down into tears again as I tried to understand what was in front of me, there was nobody to ask for help, normally I would ask my husband but I have barely seen him in two weeks which was mostly my fault since I avoided him like he had the plague. I normally ignored any thought that I have of him but I am weak.“This has gone on for too long.” I said as I stood up, maybe he would be more amendable to treating me as an equal now. I stopped being angry about a week ago when my dreams showed me and Gwenn being close friends even though we didn’t see often, she was married, a queen to an empire and happy in her marriage too, I had a feeling that the marriage will soon occur which was strange since but relaxing, the dream showed me that Gwenn no longer had any designs for my husband. She was just being spiteful at first and she mellowed down

I walked into Gwenn room to see her pouring her annoyance on her possessions by throwing them around. “What is going on here?” I asked her.Gwenn twirled in surprise but when she saw that it was me, a frown was on her face. “None of your business.”I took a deep breathe to calm myself because I wanted to try and make peace with this woman even if it is just for Orel sake. “I might not be able to fight you again and win or to bet you into a pulp but I am the warlord wife and you are a warrior, I can order to have you beaten for disrespect, please lets respect our boundaries.”Gwenn froze at my words before she calmed down. “What I do to my possessions is none of your business.”“True, it isn’t. What is my business is you being remorseful for goading me with your words.” I said.“Are you remorseful for goading me with your words?” Gwenn asked in return as my hands clenched

I watched the last of the warriors that would leave, matched out of the camp, that was the Group that Boan was in, unlike their counterparts that had left, this group had it easy for them, they were going to the capital where some of them will wait for us to arrive before riding out to meet the main army wherever Elison will guide them to. Tomorrow at dawn, Orel, Dyane, Gwenn and me will leave the camp on our own journey along with ten best warriors who will act as guards for us too… well guards for me since I knew that Orel doesn’t need a guard, but we need the numbers. If we were just four traipsing through towns and hamlets, people will be getting the wrong idea that we would be easy to take down and I know that if skirmishes do happen, Orel will not allow any of the offenders to live on.Most times it is easy to forget that I am joined to the warlord, he hasn’t killed anyone in my presence, and he has been nice and caring even though

“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
