Sisters Of Darkness 9
For the next week, Kane raged. In training with darkness, he squeezed all the strength out of us, and then finished off in hand-to-hand combat. Those who could still even stand on their feet after all this bullying were subjected to further torture by jogging. Never in my life have I consumed so much darkness at once and reached such inner exhaustion. Jokes about the possibility of restoring the reserve through intimacy with a man have ceased to be jokes for me. At night, I felt a vague yearning, and sometimes I experienced a very clear desire.Except me, no one suspected the relationship and the subsequent break between Kane and Venira, so everyone was completely at a loss and built various incredible guesses about such a drastic change in the mentor's behavior. Venira never showed up for training, first she left the estate for three days, and after returning she began training with Ilya. It's hard to say what pissed Kane off more, the breakup or her leaving for another mentor, but t

The next two weeks will stretch on forever for me. At dawn, I went to training, where Kane exhausted me to the state of a corpse and did not let go until I lost consciousness. This is how one could determine the complete depletion of the internal reserve. After a short respite and a hearty lunch, I studied with Lady Holm for several hours, it was necessary to adopt Helen's habits and habits. In addition, Lady Amalia tried to instill in me some aristocratic manners and taught me etiquette. It turned out to be an even greater challenge than training with a mentor.Tonight, I again crawled to bed in complete impotence, and, barely touching the pillow, went into the world of dreams. For the first time in several years, I dreamed of the forest and the Darkness. Not the one that lives in our bodies, but something much more, an essence that we are not given to know. Previously, I tried to ask Venira, Lane and Kane about these dreams, and found out only that they had never had anything like t

Saying goodbye to Lane, I jumped into the saddle and, touching the horse with my heels, headed for the retreating Kane. Today, it was he who accompanied me to the exit from the artifact-protected zone. The property can only be entered with special permission. How exactly this mechanism works, I did not know. I suppose that bloodletting, which is beloved by the dark ones, will not do. We reached the wrought-iron gate, and Kane, as if echoing my thoughts, opened it with his blood. Venira opened the gate last time. Who else besides these two has clearance?There was an impressive scar on my wrist, commemorating my first encounter with the Dark One, but the numerous other injuries sustained during training healed much faster and without sequelae. It's probably the dagger. I shuddered at the memory. I never asked for the name of the Seeker that Helen killed. The image of Reiner rose before his eyes, his bony long body and awkward face. Damn it, why am I even thinking about him?We spent th

The portal house in which I found myself was no different from the previous one, all the walls and floor were painted dark gray, there were no windows at all. At the age of twelve, I was fond of spatial magic for some time and read all the books available in the orphanage library on this topic. Whole two. From them, I learned that a dark gray color, close to black, is used to suppress the so-called noise, which knocks down the settings and distorts the transfer route. In addition to stationary arches, there were also disposable portable portals that cost a fortune. It was extremely difficult to use this, because in order to transfer to a precisely given place, you need to find a dark room or use it only at night. Not very convenient, especially for the money. If these rules are not followed, then at best you run the risk of being many miles away from the right place. In the worst case, when moving, a part of a person, for example, an arm or leg, may be lost.I rushed to the exit and a

At the department, a nice woman secretary helped me fill out all the necessary papers and even promised that she would bring them to the dean's office herself. Well, just a messenger of the Most Bright, compared to old Fester, or whatever it is. I profusely thanked her and, having made a few compliments to her dress, went to check into the hostel.The road to the hostel would have taken about five minutes, if I did not freeze in admiration every now and then at the sight of the backyard of the main building. The building itself was not rectangular, as I thought, but U-shaped. Inside the backyard was a huge monument to Marner the First, in his right hand he held a sword pointed at the sky.I hate.Barely restraining myself from spitting, I walked along the wide alley towards the hostel. Everything around was incredibly well-groomed, obviously, the order is closely monitored here. Lampposts were decorated with openwork monograms, similar ones I saw on the backs of the benches that I cam

AidenAfter repelling Caster's direct attack, I regrouped and managed to shackle his right arm with darkness before he could attack again. Today I am on the defensive, and according to the rules I cannot use attacking techniques. The caster is strong but too slow for me. Having neutralized his other hand as well, I threw him to the ground with a sharp movement, and, sitting on top, imitated a dagger put to his throat.“Okay, Aiden. Caster, as always, you lacked speed, you think too long between attacks. Against a man with a greater reserve, you have no chance, summed up the combat trainer and my uncle, Lord Salt Culver. Within the walls of the academy, he allowed himself to be addressed without a title and simply by his first name. Coach Salt not only trained the dark ones, he was also responsible for the selection of applicants for the Order of Darkness."But I'm not going to fight against brothers in arms," Caster said defensively. In vain it is, it is better not to argue with you

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," the dark one said convincingly.“Uh-huh,” I muttered.“Nothing terrible will happen if you are checked upon your return. If you are dark, the darkness will not go anywhere from you in two days,” he joked. I smiled tightly. We sat across from each other, the morning sun shining quite nicely on his pretty face and expensive but not ostentatious attire. I looked down at his hands folded in his lap. And how did I not notice this huge ring before? It catches the eye even at a fleeting glance. Roland caught my eye and awkwardly covered the ring with his other hand.“I put it on only when I get out of the academy, the rector is against wearing family attributes,” Roland commented on my look. I saw a similar ring three years ago on Reiner's hand. Then I did not understand the emblems of the families of the founders, and did not pay attention to his drawing. But now I could say with confidence that I had the honor to sit in the same carriage with the fut

I stood in front of the gates of the academy and thought that I still have the opportunity to turn back. I will return to the estate and wait for others to win the right to life for me. I wonder if Augusta Reed was ever afraid? Or was she not only unaware of this feeling, but of the word itself? Would she despise me for my cowardice? I squeezed the pocket in which the artifact ring lay and headed to the dean's office.There were not so many people in the courtyard, most likely, many aristocrats had gone home for the weekend.When I reached the dean's office, I knocked decisively. There is no way back. She pushed open the heavy door and entered. The secretary's desk was empty, so I decided to sit on the sofa. With every minute my resolve melted away, and the ring with incredible force pulled the pocket to the ground. The door, over which hung a sign with the dean's name, opened, and a woman stepped out. She went to the secretary's place and only then looked up at me with narrowed eyes.

Sisters Of Darkness Epilogue
Head Linth gave me a few days to recover a little. When I woke up, it seemed to me that apart from my head, nothing hurts, only weakness torments me. But as it turned out later, Lane's father drugged me with pain-relieving potions, and as soon as their action was over, I tasted the beauty of broken ribs.On the second day, Lane brought a small mirror, and at first I didn't even recognize myself. Her hair was visibly darker, and now blended perfectly with the dark circles under her eyes. The face was sharpened, and in general my appearance left much to be desired.When I blushed and asked Lane who undressed me, she smiled and assured me that she did it, and not her father, as I feared. Oddly enough, but my suit was almost not damaged, I don’t know where Lane’s mother got the material for it, but I was very grateful to her. My friend folded my jewelry separately. The earrings, the mirage and the shadow were in a small canvas bag, but I never found the ring from the set Aiden had given m

The weather was fine outside. Several small birds flew almost above the ground. I lifted my head, exposing my face to the sun's rays and soaking up the happiness.- Mom, why do birds fly so low? I asked the woman who carefully held my hand. She was the most beautiful and always smelled very nice. I hope when I grow up I will be like her.“It will probably rain,” she replied.- Rain? But there isn't a cloud in the sky! I drawled indignantly.Mom was silent and the whole environment suddenly seemed unreal to me. Throwing my head up, I saw how heavy blue clouds were covering the sky right before my eyes. The street darkened sharply. I clung to my mother and trembled with fear.“You misbehaved, Mira,” she said sternly. I looked at her in surprise and immediately recoiled, trying to free my hand from her grip. Darkness swirled around her, creeping into her nostrils, her eyes, and her open mouth. I screamed and struggled even harder, but she held me in a death grip.“Mommy, please, you’re s

There was no one at the right door. I stood around the corner for a full minute, but the guards never showed up. A sense of the wrongness of what was happening made me doubt. The shadow was completely exhausted and now hung on my chest like a useless weight.I felt the presence of an alien darkness nearby, a pleasant, feminine darkness, which, unlike male power, did not make me feel like a sticky web. She rounded the corner and rushed to the door, which was heavy but unlocked. Excellent! You don't have to open the lock. Behind the door was found a narrow staircase going deep into the dungeon.Counting the steps, she hurried down and, stepping on a flat surface, froze, finding on the ground someone's lifeless body.“It’s been a long time, my friend,” Venira whispered, standing around the corner to the right.- It happened. He is dead? I asked flatly.- Not even a tantrum? The dark one smiled. I looked at her indifferently, and she practically jumped away from me. — Great Primordial! No

Aiden Eyre, being the heir of the founding family, realized quite early the full responsibility that had fallen on him. He tried his best to live up to his high name and father. However, for some reason, the latter increasingly took on assignments not Aiden, but his younger brother. This injustice tormented his soul and every day alienated the brothers further and further from each other. In addition, they already did not have a special kindred love. Would you be able to love the person who drove your mother crazy and almost went to hell? Aiden couldn't either. At the age of three, he did not yet realize that blaming Reiner for this was too stupid. And when the eldest of the brothers saw the light and realized that the world was not black and white, the youngest did not care deeply about his feelings. He became a catcher. An insensitive log depicting a person.A cold, strict father, an insensitive brother and an unconscious mother - that's all who surrounded him from childhood. But de

The dark ones traveled to the desired tavern on the outskirts of the city for several hours, winding through the streets and changing the carriage several times. And only when Rick gave the go-ahead to follow to the place, Venira breathed a sigh of relief.Are we sure we're not being followed? she asked.“Right now,” Rick replied. She would not have dared to doubt his words, yet he was one of the best specialists in the order.“I will check everything and only then will I give you permission to enter.“I'm afraid whoever sent the note has already decided we won't come.- There was no time indicated, so he will wait as long as necessary. Or it's a trap.“Okay, you know better,” the dark one answered, and Rick was very surprised at her complaisance.The tavern, if that was the name of the diner, bore little resemblance to any she had seen before. The smell here was excellent, it seemed that even if the whole place was burned down, it would not disappear from this earth for years. She bu

Roland Reid's office was different from the others. Or rather, he differed precisely in order. So frightening. Perfectly fitted racks, between which even a speck could not fall, papers on the desktop are folded one to one ... the folders behind the glass stand perfectly even and sorted by color. Veneera shrugged her shoulders involuntarily and turned her gaze to the Steward of the Western Lands.- What do you say? - he asked.What could she say? On this conversation, he pulled her right out of the next congress of the dark ones. The dress embroidered with stones to the very throat made it difficult to breathe normally and move the neck, the shoes rubbed, and the head hurt from the high hairstyle. All this was tolerable compared to the numerous undressing looks of dark men and contemptuous appraisal from women. But today there was also something pleasant, forbidden, which excited the blood and made the whole evening bestow smiles on gentlemen ... That's why she thought about him again?

The sun barely touched the horizon, and the boundless sky, slightly covered with clouds, blazed red.Reiner stood at the window and watched with bated breath as Mira fooled around with her nephew in the yard. She tossed Chubby Race up, and the air shook with children's laughter and squeals. The dark one put the baby on the ground and gave a tear. Race, as if glued, ran after his aunt, accompanying this matter with unimaginable sounds.Venira was sitting nearby on a bench with a book and did not take any part in this strange game. That's someone who is definitely not interested in children. Reiner took a deep breath. Until recently, it seemed to him that his wife did not think about it either. But then Lane came to the shelter with her family, and now Mira spent almost all her free time with the little one.Hunters don't have families. This simple truth seemed absurd to him for the last couple of years. Why not? Since his feelings woke up, and Mira finally reciprocated, the ban on star

Kyle Kears-Eyre carefully studied the reports handed to him and came to disappointing conclusions. Most likely, the head of the Order of Darkness himself came to the same conclusions and now wanted to hear his opinion. The fact that Aiden Air himself was listening to him always puzzled Kyle. It was whispered behind his back that this favor was the fruit of their close family connection, and the uncle was just trying to promote his nephew in the service. Only Kyle himself, and even more so the head of the order, knew that they were not relatives at all. Then why does the high-born dark listen to him ... flawed ...- What do you say? his uncle asked, interrupting Kyle's gloomy thoughts of his own worthlessness.- Nothing good. The fact that the inhabitants of the north saw a group of mercenaries could be attributed to anything. But emissions of darkness? Something is happening. I understand that the south is also restless. Obviously, they want to distract us from something important and

Anika Way has long since come to terms with the fact that with the advent of one orphanage upstart in her life, everything went topsy-turvy. A recognized beauty, a good student, an advantageous match for any dark ... for some time now it did not matter. Twice thrown at the altar girl - that's what really excited the minds of everyone around.It is difficult to describe the feelings that have twisted her soul for years, especially after regular dinner parties in her father's house. Previously, it always seemed that her parents love her for who she is, her friends respect and even slightly fear the higher dark one, and the whole world lies at her feet. She did not know the troubles, except perhaps the darkness that periodically breaks out of control. But this problem was also solved, it was only necessary to get married and give birth to a child. That's what the doctors said. The ideal family was supposed to be the crown of her ideal life.Aiden Air was her first love. She herself did n
