HOLLY’S POV,

    It is a few days later and Holly and Nolan are cuddling on a couch in the general living room when Zeus storms in. 

“I finally figured it out,” he shouts.

He quickly walks away, and Holly and Nolan look at each other confused. Zeus already comes back and waves them over, “Well come on! Follow me.”

Holly and Nolan quickly get up and walk after Zeus to the meeting room. Zeus is standing at the table staring at some brightly shining objects. Zeus picks up a sword that is shining so bright it is hard to look at. 

“I finally found the right incantation to transfer the light from the glow worms into the swords. I did the same for spears.”

Holly walks towards the last object which is a black ball, “What is that?”

Zeus quickly holds her back, “Careful, that is a light bomb. I mixed light magic with gunpowder so when the bomb hits a surface it becomes an e

    NOELLE’S POV,Faith and I left just a few days ago from Liberum. I haven’t had a decent sleep for days and some good food would be welcome too. Luckily Faith said we will be able to rest at a nearby village soon. I really need the rest because it feels like I am getting sick or something. I feel dizzy and nauseous, so I hope it isn’t from any of the wild mushrooms we ate. Food poison-ing is not high on my bucket list at the moment. We keep walking and I just start to feel worse and worse. Just when we get sight of the village, I puke all my guts out. Faith holds my hair and looks at me worried, “Are you okay?”I feel unable to answer and just shake my head. Every time I want to speak another wave of nausea falls over me. “Come on let’s get you inside somewhere,” Faith says warmly.She guides me into the village, but I can’t process the surroundings I just have to focus on walking. After what feels like forever we a

    NOELLE’S POV,Donna holds her hands above her head and creates space between us, “It’s true I am a dark human now but not all dark humans are completely bad. I can’t explain to you here in the street but please I swear I won’t harm you.”I am a bit unsure what to do and I share a doubtful look with Faith.“If what she says is true it would confirm the theory I have about healing and dark humans. It could shift the war in our favor,” Faith says.I nod, “It is worth the risk but if anything seems off inside the house, we immediately run for it.”Faith and I walk close to each other while Donna leads us through a variety of alleys until we arrive at a small little cottage just on the brink of the forest. The cottage is covered in sun-light and as soon as we walk out of the alley, Donna her features turn back to normal. Her eyes and hair go back to their normal hazelnut color. This petite wo

    NOELLE’S POV,The next morning, I go back to Donna’s cottage. She is already waiting for me in front of her door like she knew I would come. She doesn’t look surprised that I am alone and doesn’t ask questions. “Let’s go the forest so we can train in solitary,” Donna says.I still feel a bit hesitant, but it doesn’t really feel like I have much of a choice. I follow her into the forest until we come to an open spot. Trees are planted in a circle around the open space and there are pillars of stones in the middle. Donna stands still in the middle of the circle and starts talking, “Unlike any other magic, Fire magic comes from deep within and needs to be mastered with calmness and control. You need to be emotionless to be able to channel fire from within.”I feel surprised and say, “I would expect the opposite. I thought it would be like channeling lightning or thunder with anger and power. Besides, I wou

    NOELLE’S POV,The next day I find myself back in the stone circle once again. Wondering what difficulties and challenges I will face today. Donna sits down facing me as usual and I look at her pa-tiently waiting for some instructions. She hesitates for a moment, “I know I said that I could teach you mind magic. And I do know how to open up the mind connection but I am not gift-ed with mind magic myself. Actually, there are only a few who are. King Hades is the most powerful one with being able to teleport visions, make hallucinations, etc. Others who have the gift can do small mind tricks or mind torture but the gift is different for every individu-al.”She continues, “We can open up your mind but I cannot tell you what will happen. Maybe you will have the gift, maybe you won’t. If you do, I have no idea what you will be able to do with it.”Donna takes my hands and closes her eyes so I do the same. I just listen to her voice and tr

    NOELLE’S POV,The next morning I walk towards Donna her cottage as soon as the sun comes up. I figured out a believable reason for me to leave so abruptly. So I decided not to waste any time and go as soon as possible. Donna is already waiting for me outside her cottage but she immedi-ately notices that today is different. She opens up the door and softly says, “Come in, I see we have to talk first by the look on your face.”I nod and walk inside to sit at the table close to the fireplace. Donna boils some water and gives me a cup of tea before sitting down. “So tell me what happened?” she asks.I just want to open my mouth when the fire starts to make a lot of noise. Donna looks at the fireplace confused but then the fire explodes and the whole room is on fire. In a second I notice that the fire isn’t real but an illusion. A dark voice I recognize immediately echoes through the cottage, “SERVANTS, DEMONS, DARK HUMANS, THE TIM

    NOELLE’S POV,Thorn and I have been flying over a desert landscape for a while now. It was a nice distrac-tion to listen to Thorn going on and on about Dagahra. I know exactly how it feels to love someone so much that they are all you can think about. If I just picture Gabriel his face, I immediately smell his scent of pinecones and fresh winter air. But I never knew it could hurt so much to miss someone so I try to not think about him all the time. The meditation tech-niques Zeus showed me definitely help.Finally, I spot something shiny pointing out from the sand. It is that I saw in my visions that the library is there because otherwise, I would have never known. I wonder how Faith was able to find it. Thorn puts me on the ground and I walk towards the shiny object. I brush some sand away and it looks like the top of some tower. I press all the different stones until I find one that I am able to push down. With a creaking sound, a hole appears in the r

    NOELLE’S POV,“Where is she? Where is she?” I hear Gabriel shout. Just hearing his voice already makes my heart explode. Everyone quickly gets out of the way and then I see him. He is running to-wards me but as soon as he sees me, he stops. We just stare at each other for a moment and then he runs towards me and swoops me in his arms. I can’t even begin to describe how good it feels to have his arms around me and smell his scent. He sits down on the floor holding me and I can hear his heart beating really fast. I take his face in my hands and put my fore-head against his, tears of joy travel down my cheeks. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and sigh with happiness. He softly strokes my cheek brushing the tears away and puts his lips on mine. I lean into his embrace and enjoy the sensation of his lips on mine again. I wish this moment would last forever.I look into his eyes again and I hear him say in my head, “I have missed you so muc

    NOELLE’S POV,Everyone around me is looking pale and serious as the army comes closer and closer. The grounds seem to shake from all the marching soldiers and the war drums echo in my ears. They stop marching about 50 meters from the wall. The war drums become louder and they all start to shout battle screams in a language I don’t understand. Luna nods at a soldier on the wall and he walks towards a massive horn stationed on the wall. The horn blows a strong and vibrant call through the whole city. I can see everyone take their positions and with de-termined faces, they seem to say that they are ready for whatever comes at them.Then the war drums become silent and the front row of dark humans and soldiers starts run-ning to the wall. I can now see Donna standing a few rows behind Hades. As soon as the sol-diers walk into the magical shield barrier they explode into light. Everyone on the wall cheers because the spells actually worked. I hear running foot

In the first years after the war, not many people came to Liberum to learn about magic. But with the years of peace growing so did people’s trust and I am happy to say that Liberum is now known as a place of magic and wonders. More and more children with gifts get born every day and it is great to see diversity spread.At the school, we find our 2 daughters surrounded by friends. Fiona our second child is showing off with balls of fire that she is juggling in the air. With her red hair and icy blue eyes, she is a perfect mix of me and Gabriel.

    NOELLE'S POV,It is a few hours later and bells are ringing through the city to announce the beginning of the funerals for all the lost lives. At first, we wanted to make a burning woodpile for every single body but then we decided it would be more meaningful to send everyone off on small plateaus at the lake that leads to the sea in Dandion. Everyone worked together the last couple of hours to make floating plateaus for all the bodies.I leave the castle to go to the lake with Gabriel. Everywhere I go people look at me with big eyes and they either bow or clap for me. I quickly gained the image of the heroine that saved the world in the hours that have passed. Tales of how I destroyed the army with magic spread and they even sound unbelievable to me while I know that I did it. I walk to the front of the lake where Luna, Holly, Julias, and Nolan are already waiting. The sun is shining and the only thing I hear is

Gabriel takes me in his arms and holds me tight, “I am so happy you are okay,” he says relieved.We all look down at Hades who is still fighting to get rid of the glowing roots. “What should we do with him?” I ask the rest.Holly looks at Hades full of hate, “You should give him a vision of something terrible and let him die thinking about that.”Gabriel coldly replies, “I have no problem with that.”Faith sounds determined when she says, “No. We can’t just kill him because he will find a way to come back. To be rid of him for good I must heal him and his evil.”We are all quiet when she walks to him and sits down at his head. For the first time I see fear in Hades his eyes and he screams, “No, No, No, not her! Just kill me."Faith put

    NOELLE POV,I feel nothing when I explode the dark humans and demons in the tunnel with purple light. I walk outside the tunnel and notice the inner wall being breached. Purple light radiates off my whole body and I levitate myself above the castle. I must look like a bright purple star and people drop their weapons to look at me. I open up my mind to all creatures of the Under Realm and give them visions that they are being chased by their worst fear. The trick works effectively on the dark humans, and they all start running out of the inner part of the city screaming.My voice echoes through the city when I command my people and the dragons to hide inside buildings. I hold up my arms and call out to all the water in the city to obey me. Water starts to rise up from sewers and the small rivers. It all flows back to me and forms a big wall of water up into the sky. I put my hands forward and let a tsunami carry out the demons, stone giants, and fire creatures with full for

    NOELLE’S POV,Gabriel immediately takes charge and gives an encouraging speech to the people. They all seem to realize that it is better to go down fighting for a better world than living in Hell. Everyone has a determined look in their eyes and seems to calmly be waiting for the doors to breach. I decide to take the small moment of peace to go look for Thorn. I find him looking much better and luckily Faith tells me she will be able to repair his wing, but he just needs rest.“I don’t need rest; I need to fight with you mistress!” Thorn says in my mind with a stubborn voice. I walk to him and give him a kiss on his snout, “You have protected me fiercely I couldn’t be prouder. Now I need you to take it easy so we can maybe live to fight another day.”Thorn follows me with grumpy eyes when I walk away but he obeys my command. I walk towards Luna who is talking with Zeus. Zeus seems very riled up making big movements with his ar

    NOELLE’S POV,As soon as we fly over the wall it feels like I wound up in a storm. Fire and weapons fly around me. I see light and explosions everywhere and it is immediately complete chaos. I can feel the impact of every blow that lands on Thorns armor. I look around to find Hades but all I can see are demons, dark humans, and creatures of Hell. Hades must have put up some illusion so he and the 4 horsemen can stay out of sight and let the rest of the army do most of the fighting.I bite my lip in frustration because there goes my plan B to take out the most powerful play-ers to end the fight. I let Thorn burn demons and dark humans in the field with dragon fire, but I notice it gets heavier for him by the minute. I don’t know how much damage the armor can hold. Angels are dropping light bombs and fighting flying creatures in the air. I see many of the Under Realm army being blown up but every hole we make seems to be filled up with new soldiers just as

    NOELLE’S POV,I hear Gabriel call my name somewhere in a distant place of my mind, but I can’t take my eyes off Hades. I stare at him and then I realize what is wrong, Donna is standing next to him, and she is also smiling at me. Shivers go through my body, and I want to scream to Ga-briel that something is wrong, but I can’t speak. The amulet around my neck starts to get warm and levitates me up in the air. It feels like something is trying to pull my insides out of me. I start screaming from pain and I can see purple light flowing out of me into Hades. I keep screaming until the pain stops and the last of the light flows out of me. I fall back into the ground hard and my body shakes from the impact.For some reason no one from Dandion seems to know what is going on because all around me is darkness. The only thing I can see is Hades and Donna smiling at me. Hades makes a tiny flame of purple fire in his hands and starts laughing.&ldquo
