-Karen-

I woke up to Joanne sleeping across from me in a double bed. A bigger bed? She was curled up to a small pillow and I could see she had Alexander tucked in next to her. He was much smaller when I saw him last… How long have I been asleep for? I knew he was growing rapidly, and it made me feel so sad but at the same time, I felt so proud of him. My poor baby… He wasn’t brought into this world the way I had wanted by any means but every time I saw him, I felt my heart swell with joy and pride.

I felt my stomach growl as I watched Joanne and Alexander sleep. So precious! She’s going to be such a great mother. I have no doubt about it! I got up and stretched. I’m starving! I could eat a mule, hooves to tail and ten buckets of strawberries. I left the tent and felt all eyes flicker over to me. How unnerving! It’s like being under the spotlight… I walked around the camp looking for something to eat. I saw Bart with a small group of Mages. They were focusing intently on him and what h

    -Karen-It felt like a hopeless situation and I was feeling very uncertain of myself. “Uh… Well?” I stammered trying to rack my brain for ideas. “Let’s think about this… So, we have exhausted our resources in the immediate area?” I asked him. He nodded crossing his arms over his chest. “What if we send out a couple foragers to some of the decoy camps?”“Too risky because father has those under close surveillance.” Conor replied. I got the sudden feeling that he was testing me. He smirked at me when I narrowed my eyes at him. It is a test. Damn you.Oh! I know! “Let’s go to town and raid the houses and businesses.” I replied with a devious grin. It could be fun!“Really? That’s not at all what I thought you were going to say…” He seemed concerned at my idea. “I feel like that’s just as dangerous as the camps.”“I know it’s out there, but I mean we have to get food, right? It’s that or raid the palace.” I blurted out and then I stopped to actually think about it. Actually… That’s a grea

  • Lucevkin Dreams   The Raid

    -Karen-“I don’t think this is a good idea. But we are out of options at this point. If we don’t get something here soon, we won’t be able to keep fighting.” Nathan said tiredly. “Please, whatever you do, just be careful. Don’t do anything rash or stupid.” He advised directly to me. “Remember Karen, you’re going to be a valuable target, especially if the Zargans know you’re running around town. Please remember not to be an idiot.”Rude! I mean, I know I can be dumb… “I got this Nathan! I’ll make sure we get what we need.” I reassured him as Aaron and Arthur nodded in agreement. And much more! I smirked and summoned a large portal back to the Mage house we had stayed in previously. They followed me through. Before I shut the portal, I looked back and saw that there were several Mages looking in at us with a variety of expressions on their faces. In the distance, I could see Conor and Bart watching with solemn looks on their faces. I got this Conor. I know what I’m doing- I think.I clo

    -Karen-“Can I ask something?” I asked hesitantly. I wonder if he will even know…“Sure. What it is?” He asked as he started adding medicines, various tools, including a variety of scissors and weird looking tongs. Then he zipped the bag up. He walked over and handed it to me. “This should be everything Bart needs.”“Thank you so very much Roger. Do you happen to know where our rings are?” I asked feeling hopeful.“Yes, I do. They are in the King’s study on the desk. He hasn’t destroyed them yet since he was working on getting Michael installed as the heir now that Conor and the rest of you have been declared traitors and fugitives.” He replied sullenly. “I’m happy to see that you are well. When Monica bragged to me about what she did, I was afraid you and the baby died.”“I’m not going to lie, I felt like I was going to… It was good to see you Roger. I’m going to get the rings and then I’ll be leaving.” I said closing the second bag I had. I gave him a hug to which he returned. “I u

    -Karen-“Now that I think about it, you’re right. I absolutely will punish you. I’m gonna tie your ass up and eat that cheesecake while you watch me enjoy it.” I scowled while he laughed. “Let’s wake Jo and Alex up and then you better prepare yourself, wife. I’m going to give you a punishment to remember.” He whispered in my ear. Without warning he pulled the top of my dress down and exposed my right breast. He bent down and started sucking on it. Oh… That feels wonderful! It felt great until he pulled back suddenly. I gave him a confused look. “It tastes good. No wonder why Alexander loves it. He’s going to have to share with me now.” I laughed lightly as he pulled away from me. He walked around and gently shook Joanne’s shoulder until she woke up. I bent down and picked Alexander up from beside her. I walked over and sat on the edge of our bed while he started to wake up. Before he could even cry, I held him right to my left breast and watched as he drank the milk quickly. Once his

    -Karen-Nathan’s presence woke me up later in the day. I looked up and saw him looking down at me with a somber look on his face. What’s that look for? I started to get up when he stopped me. “Rest.” He ordered simply. “We do need to start working on getting you prepared but it won't do any good if you’re this exhausted… It will make it harder, and you won't remember anything important.” I snuggled back down into the warm blanket.“Thank you…” I murmured tiredly. I’m so worn out… I could sleep for two more days easily.“I want to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind for a while now.” He said quietly. I watched him as he sat down on the edge of the bed. He was quiet for several minutes as he looked at his hands. “Prince Conor…” Oh boy… “He really loves you, Karen… And I can see that in everything he says and does. He reminds me so much of myself when I was young…” Nathan recalled softly. He reminds you of yourself? “I have been talking with him at length… At first it was

    -Karen-Nathan looked back over at me with the saddest look I had ever seen from him. “I lost the woman who made my soul shine. And I still had to figure out how to go on for our beloved Lizette. I couldn’t let her lose both of us. It took me many years to be able to function as close to normal as possible. I drank that pain away for a long time… I didn’t know what else to do to help end my own overwhelming pain that her loss brought. I was only a lower tiered Advanced Mage when that happened. Six years later, I finally got it together for Lizette with Winholt’s help. I promised Lizette that I would be there for her. Whenever I saw her, I saw Melissa staring back at me and it hurt so much for the longest time.” He shook his head again. “Lizette and Monica used to be so close when they were growing up and then Monica ran away. She fell in love and married a doctor a few years later. Lizette chose to stay close to Delia and was a pillar of strength for all of us. She became the rock th

    -Karen-“I’ll still do those things.” Conor said from the opening of the tent. I snapped my gaze over to look at him nervously. Did he hear all of that? I watched him as he walked over and climbed on the bed next to me. He pushed a lock of hair behind my ear and said, “I’ll always be here for you, Kay. Even if you scream that you hate me when you’re angry. Nothing means more to me than you and Alex.” I rushed into his arms and cried as he held me tightly. “My world is right here in my arms, Nathan. I know we’ve talked a lot in the last week but I’m serious about all I’ve said to you. I’ll do whatever I have to in order to protect her and Alexander. She’s the woman I want my family with- I’m not like other Zargans… I never have been.” He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly. “I love you more than you will ever know, Kay.” “I was an outcast from the beginning… And then I met Bart and found out I wasn’t alone. My cousin, Joanne, had been forced to bed men that would hurt her until I

    -Karen-I looked over and saw Nathan, Aaron and Arthur approaching us. Aaron went and stood next to Joanne making funny faces at Alexander who squealed loudly and reached out to him. He pulled something out of his pocket. “Look at you causing a scene Mighty Mage Lord! Be good and you can have this pacifier that your awesome Uncle Aaron grabbed for you.” Aaron said as Alexander grabbed onto his nose with on hand and a lock of his hair in the other. He squealed and then cooed as we all chuckled. My heart felt light and happy at the sight. Take care of my baby Aaron… “Look here Mighty Mage Lord- That’s not being good.” Alexander giggled and squealed again at him.I turned my attention to Nathan and Arthur. “Ready to go?” Nathan asked us. “Time to get to work.”I nodded as the three of us followed behind him towards the large clearing that we first entered the camp through. Nathan summoned a large portal, and we follow him through to a place I had only been once before. It looked exactly

    -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

  • Lucevkin Dreams   Karen vs Zachary

    -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

  • Lucevkin Dreams   Down To The Wire (Part 2)

    -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
