-Karen-

We woke up when it was very dark outside which was perfect. I think it’s about two or three in the morning. Perfect since it will be really dark right now! Sunrise should be between six and seven at this time of year. I put the dress and shoes back on from earlier and then grabbed the black cloak with the green underside from the rack when he stopped me. “One cloak, my flower.” He whispered in my left ear, slipping his arms around my waist. “It will be better if we share.”

I nodded in agreement setting the second cloak back on the peg. I walked over and picked up the blanket we had cuddled under and the pillow stuffing them both under my arm. I walked over to the dresser as he met me there. I unsealed the room and opened a portal to the Cliffs of Typher. We stepped through to a slightly cloudy sky above us and a thin layer of snow on the ground as I shut the portal. The wind was bitterly cold, and I shivered immediately. The air is freezing cold! I have to be quick.

    -Karen-He cupped my face and we kissed again. “I’m in love with you, Karen. And I’ve been for a while now.” He lifted my right hand and kissed the ring. “This ring carries the promises I made to you but also the promise that I will always love you. Even if you don’t love me back.” He kissed the ring again as I soaked in his words. He loves me. “Your ring… I picked the opal because it reminds me of you. Every color means something… The white of the stone is the fighter’s soul you carry and within that beautiful soul is the red fiery passion that I have been consumed by lately.” We exchanged chuckles. He put his forehead to mine as he continued. “Green represents your zest for life. I had to fight you a little bit on that one though. Pink is for your impressive wittiness and sassiness that I love.” I chuckled because this stone had a fair amount of pink. “There are a couple flecks of blue in this stone too. Blue represents your growing confidence. The flecks are hard to see but if you

    -Karen- When I woke up it was very dark outside, so I was pretty sure we slept the small remainder of that second day. Conor was still snuggled up to me with his mouth open. I carefully kissed his cheek. He smiled in his sleep for a moment and then went back to having his mouth slightly open. I was hungry but I wanted just to watch him sleep for a little while. After about an hour he started mumbling in his sleep again. Today, I was able to make out the words ‘pretty Mage’ and ‘mother’ but that was all. I have found something more precious to me than I could have ever dreamed. More precious than my love of magic. I can't believe I ever hated you. I can't imagine my life without you now, Conor. I stopped for a moment and thought about his words. Mother? What did he mean by mother? Does he want me to try and make amends with his mother? I can try but given that meeting, I doubt there’s anything I can do to fix that aside from dropping dead.I slowly crawled to the end of the bed and gr

    -Karen-I gave him a sympathetic smile and continued sewing as I spoke. “It was hard. There were many times that I thought about running away but where would I go? There definitely were times when I just wanted it all to stop but there were a few good people in my life that did their best to help me through it all.” I finished the set and started on another one. “Novo was the biggest support. Julie and Sophie helped when they could, but they had their own children to take care of. And then Lizette.” I paused from my work and met his gaze. “When I was seven, I met Lizette for the first time. I don’t remember why I had to meet her, but she was really bubbly around me and she scared me a bit because I wasn’t used to someone talking so much and asking me questions about myself. It took a while but eventually I warmed up to her.” I looked away as I thought about Lizette and how much I missed her. Oh Lizette… I miss you so much. Joanne reminds me of you though. We fell into silence for a li

    -Karen-I felt hungry after being awake for an hour. Carefully, I kissed his cheek and then slipped out of bed to get a snack from the basket. I found some crackers and some berries. I was still thinking about my feelings for Conor when he startled me by wrapping his arms around me. He nuzzled my neck and then gave me a love bite. “A love bite for my lover.” He whispered as I chuckled. He kissed my cheek and hugged me tighter. “I had a dream about us.” I looked up as he spoke. “You agreed to have children with me, and we had a daughter. She looked like you except her eyes were gray. We called her Elizabeth Adrianna Helena…” A daughter. So, what did he mean by four more? Four more babies?I felt my cheeks get hot as he laughed lightly. “Was she feisty?” I asked while I hunted for more snacks out of the basket.“Absolutely feisty and so much sass for being a small baby. She was truly her mother’s daughter.” He mused while I offered him a blackberry. He took the berry and an ‘Mm’ could

    -Karen-“You’re just staring at your hand. Are you alright, Karen?” Conor asked setting down his cards. I looked up unsure of how to say what I felt. I felt like I got punched in the chest in front of the entire Royal court. I feel so nervous and like I’m going to cry.I got up and hugged him tightly. There’s no doubt anymore. But how do I say it? He was silent but returned the hug. “Excuse me for a moment please.” I whispered. I left the main room and slipped into the armoire room. I paced around the room trying to figure this out as best I could. That feeling I felt… It was just like Bart had said. You just realize out of the damn blue that you you’re in love with them. I smiled sweetly to myself as the realization sunk in deeper by the second. I’m in love with him. There’s no way I could ever deny my feelings for him. But how do I say it to him? “Karen? Are you feeling okay?” Conor asked from by the doorway. I’m fine… I think. “Do you want me to send for Bart?” I heard him walk o

    -Karen-“I hope you like Zargo, Kay. I plan to give you at least one of my estates when I take you home with me.” I looked over in surprise. “The first one I want you to have has a large garden. Your rose garden is only half the size of that garden. I want you to feel at home there.” I watched him in silence. “The manor house is kind of small next to the others, but it has a small library, an art studio, a music room, six bedrooms, four large spa bathrooms with a nice big soaking tub in two of them, several other rooms and a basement. The best part is it’s in the quiet countryside where you won't have to be worried about being stared at if you go outside.”“You know you don’t have to give me something like that. I can just borrow it.” I whispered and then giggling at the dirty look on his face.“Listen here, woman. I’m giving you this estate because I want you to have something of your own. Also, I’m going to make sure that you have at least three servants, a personal chef.” I shook m

    I narrowed my eyes. “No way Conor! I have a score to settle with you!” I proclaimed defiantly. He laughed and then we kissed. I smiled, cupping his face. “I hope you’re finally ready to lose!” I will defeat you!“We’ll see won't we?” He replied kissing me several times. “You’re going down!” I went to get off his lap, but he wouldn’t let me move. He stood up and carried me out into the main room kissing me the whole way. He gently set me down on my chair and then sat in his chair giving me a sneaky grin. “Ready to lose, you sexy vixen?” He asked, shuffling the cards.“Hmph!” I pulled out the bottle of whiskey and gave it to him.“Yes! Best lover ever!” He cried, drinking the entire small bottle in one shot. “Ah! I love that burn!” He picked the cards back up while I finished emptying the contents of the basket. “You got a bunch of good stuff!” He nodded approvingly. We played for three hours and I finally managed to win four of the nine games. “You still lost.” He teased with a smug s

    -Karen-“There’s probably going to be a lot of people out there waiting for us when you take the seal off. Just be prepared because they are probably going to think you are holding me hostage.” Conor warned putting his forehead against mine. “Well… I was! That’s not a lie, Conor. I will always hold you hostage.” I replied walking to the doors. He chuckled under his breath. I quickly braided my hair in hopes that was going to make me feel a little less anxious. I touched my hand to the door and took a deep breath. “Dispel.” I whispered softly. As soon as the seal disappeared you could hear the commotion we had caused.“Where the fuck is he at?!” I heard Zachary screaming at everyone. “It’s been two days and there still isn’t an update?!” I felt my anxiety shoot up about eight levels as someone started pounding on the door. Uh oh. I could hear someone say something to the king, but I couldn’t make out what was said. “Then kick the damn door down! Burn it down! Blow it off the fucking h

    -Conor-“I have a terrible feeling about this Nathan. We need to go to her. As soon as possible.” Conor said pacing back and forth in front of all the Mages. “After she lost consciousness, Eldon came and took her away. All he said was that she was being summoned by a tree. That's when a portal was made for me to come back here.”Nathan's eyes got wide and he lost the coloring in his face. “The Tree summoned her?” A serious yet terrified look remained on his face. Alexander started screaming making everyone jump. A portal opened and everyone stood up while Joanne worked to calm him down. “Karen?” Conor asked feeling hopeful. Eldon walked through carrying her, but he was stoic. “She’s going to be okay, right?”Eldon gently placed her into his arms. He didn’t answer right away. “Not exactly.” The portal shut as all the Mages gathered around. “As you know, she won the war against your father with your help. However, she lost the fight.” He said quietly. “Senescence, has deemed that she i

    “Soul Release.” I whispered quietly. I watched as the souls compressed into different color orbs and floated away on the breeze. Bombs started falling around me while breathing became harder. “Healing Serenity.” I’ve used a flurry of spells and I still have a small chunk of magic left. I can easily get two or three more Master spells… I think. I decided to change positions so I could get a better aim at the last large ship flying around. I still have those small ships too… I took a deep breath and sent a Blazing Hypernova up to the middle area of the small ships. They all exploded in a bright flash and the wreckage fell to the destroyed town. I looked around for the large ship, but a bullet ricocheted very close to where I stood. Suddenly, more soldiers appeared charging at me.“Frostfire Surge!” I shouted angrily. All the soldiers shouted in pain and collapsed dead around us in heaps. I pointed up at the sky as the ship tried to leave again. “Blazing Hypernova!” Due to the high level

    -Karen-A blow to the back of the head put me on the ground faster than I ever thought possible. Blow after blow was delivered as I squirmed to get away, but Zachary pinned me under him and continued to land a barrage of punches. He yelled and screamed about what I had done to his family. I grabbed his ankle and let him have a taste of ‘Lightning Surge’. It bought me enough precious time to weakly get to my knees.“Recovery Salvo.” I shakily got to my feet and leaned against the wall, but he was no where to be seen. I looked around nervously, but nothing moved. I heard the bullets before I felt them. Hot metal burrowed its way into my right thigh followed by my abdomen, left arm and chest. I collapsed in heap trying to fight the massive amounts of pain I felt. “Healing Serenity!” I whispered under my breath. Damn, another healing spell… I whispered for a portal and fled to the shadows of a building across town. There were still so many ships in the air, and I was starting to feel the

    -Karen-“We don’t have a choice anymore!” I snapped back frustratedly. “This is it, Conor- We fight or we die- I’m not about to let him claim victory. There is going to have to be a risk in order to win this fight. I plan on coming back, you know.”“But what if you don’t, Kay? What if Eldon doesn’t revive you?” Conor asked firmly. He cupped my face and stared me in the eyes. “What if you’re gone forever?” What if… Such a big 'what if' and its running through my mind too.I didn’t answer him right away. “I’m going to die someday. I’d rather die fighting for my family and the people I care about than to run and live in fear wondering if today will be the day. As long as I don’t exhaust my magic and turn into a demon, I should be fine.” I’ve used a small bit of my magic, but I still have more than plenty. As long as I can take them out in fifteen to twenty Master level attacks, it should be okay. Permitting this doesn’t drag out for very long.I could see he was very much not accepting o

    -Karen-“Your sudden jerking movements re-opened a wound I repaired.” Bart explained as I lay still looking up at the ceiling of the empty crypt bed. “I stitched it closed but you can't be doing those type of movements yet.” I sighed feeling useless as another bomb shook the ground.“Let me put some salve on her stitches, doctor.” Valerie murmured rubbing in a sweet smelling cream. “This should help numb the stitches so they won't hurt if you do have to move.”“Thank you both.” I replied, slowly sitting up. “Those bombs have been falling for the last three days now. How much more punishment can the main floor of the Crypts take?” I asked Nathan, feeling uneasy about our situation.I could see that Nathan was very reluctant to answer. “It probably won't be much longer, honestly. We have to make some hard choices now. The only other place we can go is the Forest and that has its own set of challenges and hazards as you know.” He heaved a heavy sigh, rubbing his face from the growing pre

    -Karen-At the snap of my fingers, my brother’s arms were torn from his body. Screams of agony echoed around me while the soldiers took aim at me. A soldier was yelling, but I paid him no mind. I heard the same soldier call my brother’s name, Marcus, telling him to hold on. I giggled softly enjoying this scary side of myself and met Marcus’s now terrified yet agonized gaze. “Marcus… I’m going to annihilate you and as I do, I will make sure that your soul quivers in unimaginable terror.” He some how lost more coloring in is face at my calm words“Ground Spears!” I shouted angrily punching up into the air. The soldiers that surrounded us were now high up on the points of the spears with blood gushing and dripping down the jagged rocks, more groans and moans of pain filling the air which was tainted with the scent of blood. “Soul Snatch!” I ripped the wispy soul out of the body, and he looked terrified. “Soul’s Doom!” Just like before, a white demon charged right at him and shredded his

    -Karen-I woke up enveloped in warmth, but I was extremely sore. I really felt like I hit every tree branch coming down from that fall. So sweet- He changed my dress. The orchid under dress. I looked over to my right and saw Conor and Alexander cuddled up next to me both sleeping with their mouths open. Ha- My loves. “Conor!” I whispered softly. I tried to roll over and found out that was a mistake. Ah! I’m still busted up pretty badly… I grabbed his hand that was cupping my left cheek and gently squeezed it. Wake up!Without opening his eyes, “You’re the most recklessly insane person I know, Karen Anne Elizabeth. That was awe-inspiring, terrifying and thrilling all at once, but I don’t want to repeat that any time soon.” Conor said rubbing my cheek with his index finger. Mm. So warm… “We’ve only lost two ships in two separate incidents before but that was insane!” He opened an eye and leaned into me. “You have a lot of injuries still. You broke lots of bones. Bet you’re sore?”“Very!

    -Karen-Conor groaned while rubbing his face and then looked up at me. He rubbed his eyes again. “Is that really you, Kay? You’re not an illusion, right?” He whispered sitting up quickly and grabbing my left hand pressing my palm to his lips. “You know I’m not upset with you- Don’t you?” I dropped my gaze feeling so much shame as I stood before him. “I-”“You may not be upset but I am.” I interrupted quietly. “I just see myself punching you and then charging at Joanne and then the nightmares I had. I may not be cursed anymore but the weight of my guilt is so heavy. I feel like I should just die and end everything once and for all. But that wouldn’t be fair to you or to Alex.” I closed the gap between us and hugged him tightly. “I love you Conor. I love you and I hate that I only hurt you… I feel like I do nothing but that.”He was silent but he held me tightly to him after he pulled me onto his lap. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this again.” Conor kissed my cheek and nuzzled my

    -Karen-Sweet kisses on my lips woke me up though it took me several minutes to realize I was in bed next to Conor. As soon as I did, I tried to move away from him. “Ah ah ah!” He captured me quickly and pulled me back to him. No. Please don’t!I completely avoided his gazes and wouldn’t let him kiss me at all. “Karen- You won’t even look at me.” I could hear the disappointment in his voice. “Alexander cried all night after you left. Will you at least hug him?” I shook my head. “He says Mama now.” I don’t care. I can’t be here anymore! I only hurt you. I can’t continue to be a danger to you and everyone else here.I took advantage of the situation and pulled away from him. “Karen! Wait!” I left the tent as quickly as I could hearing him following me. “Please just listen to me!”All eyes were on me and it shot me right back to the memory of charging at Joanne. I dashed to the clearing and left the camp as fast as I could. I raced back to the Royal Crypt, crying the whole way. The guilt
