MAD END'S DECEPTION 326 - She's Not Gone
GILDEONHis breath stilled. All pain and exhaustion suddenly receded to the back of his mind. It felt like centuries since the last time he’d seen her.Two guards trailed behind Araheen. She turned her head slightly toward them and lifted a hand.“I’ll take it from here,” she said. “You can go now.”“But Lady Commander,” one protested, “the Vice Commander ordered us not to leave you alone with the prisoner.”Gildeon huffed quietly under his breath, finding grim satisfaction in the fact that Feviel—even as a sylph—did not trust his own wife to face him alone.“And my command to both of you is to leave,” Araheen said firmly. “Am I not clear enough?”The guards bowed immediately. “Forgive us, Lady Commander,” they said in unison. “We will be right outside.”When the doors shut, silence settled he
MAD END'S DECEPTION 325 - Like Wasted Time
GILDEONAraheen killed Nalini.It shouldn’t have shocked him. He knew nothing about Araheen beyond the girl she used to be—the innocent child who had been feisty and stubborn but hadn’t yet learned how to hurt anyone.But that girl had grown. She had been raised among beings who treated emotion like a disease.A weakness to be cut out.And maybe the shock was more a refusal to accept that she had become another version of her father.Cruel. Methodical. Merciless.Through the haze of pain, he remembered something Nalini once told him when they were young. A dream. She’d dreamed of a woman unlike them pressing a blade to her throat.His gaze lowered to the blood-slick floor.So it had been a premonition. Nalini had foreseen her own death.Ironic that it had come by Araheen’s hand.“I am curious about one thing, Dragon,” Lothair said, dragging him from
MAD END'S DECEPTION 324 - The Primitive Fire
GILDEONHis heart pounded. He felt Arah. She was right outside the door.With the last of his strength, he forced his dragon sight to flare, but the cell doors were laced with heavy, impenetrable magic. He couldn’t see through them.Her presence lingered only moments.Then she was gone.His jaw flexed, grinding side to side until his teeth ached. Every instinct in him screamed to rip free. He wanted to wrench against the chains until his shoulders tore from their sockets, until bone split and flesh ripped… until he dragged himself bleeding across the stones just to crash through those doors and force Arah to face him.He would demand that she look him in the eye and tell him the woman who held his heart was truly gone.Instead, exhaustion swallowed him whole.Darkness took him.*******Light knifed back into his skull.Agony followed.A violent, searing pain exploded fro
MAD END'S DECEPTION 323 - You Broke Our Captain's Heart
ARAHEENYadira burst into harsh, unhinged laughter. “You think we’d betray our own? We already made the mistake of siding with you instead of our commander.” She scowled. “We’d rather die than help you blue cunts wipe the rest of us out.”Araheen studied her for a long moment. She had expected this response, yet some quiet part of her had hoped for something different.Seeing there was nothing to gain, she turned and left without another word. Yadira’s curses followed her down the corridor.She moved on to Eitan’s cell.He sat curled in a corner, shivering in the thin gray tunic he’d been given. Without the ability to generate heat, the cold had reduced him to near immobility. His red hair had dulled, stripped of its usual vibrancy. He barely reacted when she entered.Sensing no immediate threat, Araheen drew her sigil needle and pricked her thumb. Pressing the blood to t
MAD END'S DECEPTION 322 - Your Suffering Ends
ARAHEENNot long after, General Lothair dismissed her. Though she would have preferred to discuss further war strategies, she knew better than to occupy her father’s time longer than necessary.As she stepped back into the High Council chamber, the red hummingbird from the ceiling caught her attention again. Its tiny head tilted, black eyes fixed on her with unnatural stillness.“You’ve got everything you need, you little sneaky spy?” she whispered, realizing at once she sounded like Arah.Without hesitation, she drew her sigil needle and flicked it upward. It sliced through the air like an arrow and pierced the creature clean through the chest.The hummingbird let out a sharp, metallic shriek as it plummeted to the marble floor. It convulsed briefly, wings twitching in broken spasms, before disintegrating into a fine ash that dissolved into the air.She lifted a hand and summoned her needle, pinning
MAD END'S DECEPTION 321 - We Can Break Him
ARAHEENShe stopped at an arm’s length from her father. General Lothair stood at the edge of the balcony, both hands braced on the white railing as he looked down over the citadel. The wind slid past them in cool currents, stirring the banners below.Above, the sky over Shamibar was a clear gray. Though it was daytime, it lacked the natural brightness and warmth of Earthland.Her father spoke without looking at her. “I remember the day you came to me and begged for my guidance so you could claim your revenge,” he said. “You vowed to bury your Fractured self and become an obedient daughter to me.”The memory was a blade she had sharpened on herself for years. Anger, guilt, and the taste of helplessness had driven her then. She had long wanted Commander Haemos dead for what he had done to Siegfrid and Irmeena. And she had wanted Gildeon to suffer—for his role in their capture, and for the lie he had told
