Leiya“You came out.”He muttered unbelievably.“I was feeling up to it.” I whispered.A day after he narrated his unfortunate childhood ordeal to me, I surprisingly felt better. I didn't hate myself anymore. I convinced myself that if she was no longer alive, it was not my fault. I prayed to my father's spirit to forgive me and to her spirit to also forgive me. To my greatest surprise, she didn't appear to me in a nightmare and I slept just fine. When I woke up, I was feeling a lot better.I had just stepped out of my room in search of Helion when I found him speaking to a guard three doors away from mine.“Join me outside then,” he offered.I politely agreed with a nod of my head. He gave his last instruction to the guard before leading me outside the castle. It was a bright, sunny and beautiful day. The colors of the flowers around the castle shone brightly in the morning sun. I had not felt the sun on my skin in days and it felt absoluRelated chapters

Kaltain Leiya“Let go of me!” I yelled out of frustration.“But I am not even touching you Leiya.”“You're using magic!”I screamed as I struggled with the invisible force that was holding my legs firmly together.“That's a very bold accusation. Do you have any proof?”“How do you prove magic?!”As a result of my frantic struggling, I ended up crashing to the floor. When he charged me to race, I should have known he wasn't going to play fair. “I won,” I heard him yell, causing me to look up. He was standing beside the horse, which we agreed signified the end of the race. “Now you have to clean the horse poo.”He stated with a sinister grin. Just then my legs were freed. I could finally move. I got up to my feet, clasping my hands together and brushing off the dirt off my dress.“There is no way in hell,”“We’re on earth Leiya.”I stuck my tongue out at him and he chuckled loudly. Thank you for the reminder, your majesty

Kaltain Leiya“You should teach me a few spells.”I mumbled with a small piece of bread in my mouth. He was in the process of sucking the life out of one of the three prisoners at the table so he didn't respond. I casually waited for him to be done with the man, munching on the chunk of bread and meat at the table.“Still want to learn teleportation?”I heard his voice after a few moments, followed by the loud thump of the lifeless body he just fed on hitting the floor. “No, not that, I can move freely around the castle so I don't need it anymore.” I slanted my shoulders back in a shrug as I tore away another small piece of the bread to feed into my mouth. “I just want to learn a few spells.”I continued when I didn't get a response from him. “Silly spells even.”I said with a small giggle. When I noticed he didn't respond, I looked up to see he was feeding again. He must have be really hungry judging from how quick he was taking life

Kaltain Leiya“Which Degar?”I was quick to respond before Helion even had a chance. I wasn't sure I heard Calin properly.“The king of Hepthan.” he mumbled casually.I immediately glanced at Helion, he looked just as confused as I was. I quickly looked back at Calin. He continued to look at Helion with an unfazed expression.“Why is he here?”I asked no one in particular, struggling to contain the rush of jumbled emotions I was feeling inside me. What gave him the guts to come here unannounced? And if he was here for business with the king, why wasn't I informed?“To see his majesty.” Calin kept giving straight answers. It made me even more furious. I couldn't tell if he was completely oblivious to how much I hated Degar, or he was just being annoying on purpose.“Where is he?”Helion finally asked, sitting upright in his chair. It was still hard to tell if he was aware the evil man was coming or if he was just as surprised as I was.

Kaltain Leiya I opened my mouth to respond but he was already gone. I sat at the dining table alone, wondering what Calin meant by ‘open your eyes’. I couldn't make any sense of it. I couldn't make sense of anything, but overall what was Degar doing at Kaltain?I swiftly got you from the chair. I needed to find Calin. I needed him to explain what he meant. It felt like he knew something that I didn't, and I needed to know what it was. I stepped outside the open doors, heading for my chamber when an idea came into my head. Working on my brilliant idea, I headed in the direction of the courtroom. I knew they just had to be there. When I turned the corner, I noticed there were no guards at the door. I couldn't be happier. As I got closer, I could hear faint talking. I didn't need any more convincing to know that they were behind the big doors. The closer I got, the stealthier I tried to be, walking on the tip of my toes to not raise any noise. Successfully, I ma

KaltainLeiya I swiftly turned around to meet Helion's piercing gaze. “I was,”“Spying.”He said before I could even finish. I wanted to protest but there was nothing I would say that would be convincing. I was caught right in the act, with my ears pressed to the door. I slowly leaned away, turning to face him. “Why is he here?”“He's not here anymore.”Before I could respond, the courtroom doors opened. I looked inside to find it was empty. My first reaction was confusion. In the split second between him finishing his speech and Helion appearing behind me, Degar had mysteriously vanished. “Calin took him." I heard him say. It was enough explanation for me. I turned back to meet his now soft gaze.“Then why was he here?”“I don't know Leiya.” He said after a small frustrated sigh. “Maybe his informers made a mistake.”Helion was the most powerful, and maybe the smartest man I had ever met, but to hear him say Degar's

Kaltain Leiya“Go on,”He urged me with a slight scoff. “You wanted to learn magic, say it.”I didn't know why I was so nervous. I pestered him so much about it and now I was chickening out. Thankfully, I didn't need to say the words out loud, as long as I said them perfectly in my head, it would work out just fine. The only issue is, if I said it wrongly, something bad could happen, and I didn't want that.“After everything your father taught you about courage, you still choose to be afraid?”“Shut up and let me concentrate.”I yelled at him. He immediately let out a loud laugh. We had gotten to the point where we were so comfortable around each other. We teased each other a lot and played a lot more often. He smiled more and so did I.When I was certain I was ready, I mouthed the strange words with my eyes closed tightly. “You did it Leiya.” I heard him cheer. My eyes flung open to see the part of the grass I held my hand over, had g
Sold to the Prince of Hell Tired emotions.
Kaltain Leiya I waited anxiously in my chamber, looking towards the door, hoping that at any moment, Helion would appear before me. I had been that way for hours, unable to sleep, unable to concentrate on a book. I occasionally peeped outside my window to make sure everyone was still going about their activities safely. Sure enough, anytime I looked, everyone went about cluelessly.He mentioned that he would be away for a whole day. It was barely nightfall yet and I could feel myself losing my mind. I couldn't do it, I couldn't be away from him that long. The feeling was likened to my heart being occasionally poked with needles. I climbed off my bed and headed for my door when a figure came up before me. I halted in my tracks with a perplexed stare.“What’re you doing here?”The last thing I needed were Calin's disapproving eyes guilting me into sitting back, while my heart ached for Helion. “Let me guess,” He began, holding his hands behind him

Kaltain LeiyaCalin's words rang in my head the whole night until my brain succumbed to the grip of sleep. The moment my eyes opened the next morning, my thoughts resumed. I wanted to not believe him, to throw the thoughts to the back of my head and mark them as irrelevant, but I couldn't. Telling me something so extremely important and charging me to confront his majesty about it wouldn't be done for fun. He could lose his job or even his life if it is proven that what he told me was a lie. Which made me even more curious as to why he was willing to risk all that. On the other side of the story, if Calin is right, why would Helion lie to me? Why, just why? I couldn't make any sense of it. There was no way I could completely rule out Calin's words. I definitely had to confront his majesty about it, the only question was, how?I climbed off my bed and made my way to the window. I looked at each and every person my eyes found in the street. No one looked anxious

Valinor Nayla After Leiya left, it took a few more days for Xerian and I to completely settle back into our previous life as prince and princess of Valinor. To announce the returning of his only son and future king, the royal informat was sent to every corner in the entire kingdom. The night we returned, a big fire was lit in the town square. There was loud singing and vigorous dancing. By the next day, King Raslin threw a large feast for the entire kingdom. The castle gates were opened for everyone, both adults and children, to come welcome us. Xerian and I sat on the royal table in the courtroom, waving and smiling to everyone who came. And gifts. The people brought a lot of gifts. From fruits, to vegetables, to meat, to wine, our table was filled with them all. The day after that, the king threw another feast to celebrate our arrival. This time it was not open to the public, only other royals were invited. Kings, queens and their children from far and wide honored his invitati

Kaltain LeiyaHelion immediately let go of me. The fear in Calin's eyes showed he was being completely honest. Kaltain was supposed to be safe. Completely safe. “The forcefield," Helion mumbled in horror. “It's weak, I haven't done the ritual since the last time." My head instantly connected the dots together. Shortly after he performed the ritual, I got myself in trouble with Lyle. He was probably occupied with trying to find me and handle matters of the kingdom. When he finally found me, I left again shortly after.m, taking him in another hunt for me. Kaltain was under attack and it was my fault. Helion turned to me, gripping my shoulders with fear in his eyes. “Go to your chambers and wait for me.” It was more of a warning than an instruction. "No,” I shook my shoulders out of his grip. “Kaltain is also my kingdom.” I mumbled. "I would rather die by your side than hide in my chambers like a coward.”“Leiya," he growled in frustration, running his

Kaltain NaylaXerian made a shocking recovery after a few days. He was able to completely talk audibly, eat without being fed, and walk perfectly fine by himself. He no longer felt the excruciating pain in his stomach when he laughed or coughed. He was also looking more like himself. His cheeks were fuller, his skin was brighter and his eyes were lighter, devoid of pain, worry or anxiety. I could say he was almost like his former self. We were now ready to return to Valinor. He had been looking forward to it everyday since we spoke about it, even happier when I insisted I would leave with him. Which meant I had to speak to my sister about it. Helion was the only one aware I was also leaving. The night before Xerian and I were to leave, I was feeling severe anxiety talking to Leiya about it. Helion overheard my concerns and convinced me to be honest with her. Him and I had formed some sort of relationship while I was at his castle, and I couldn't believe he was the same

Kaltain LeiyaI impatiently walked through the halls in search of Helion. The overwhelming feeling to kiss him passionately grew even worse with each step I took. I was just stepping out of the dinning area when I ran into Calin. The first thing he did was to lower his head in a bow. My jaw almost dropped. “Your majesty." He muttered, before lifting his eyes to meet mine. I was shocked. Shock didn't express it enough, I couldn't believe my eyes. I could swear it was a different person who simply looked like Calin. Calin hated me. Even though he called out Helion's lies about my sister, he did it for his selfish reasons. He did it to get rude of me, and he did. He had no respect for me at all, and now, out of the deep ocean blues, he bowed and referred to me as a royal. With disbelief in my eyes and voice, I tried not to stutter as I spoke. “Have you any idea where his majesty, King Helion, May be?”He opened his mouth to speak, but shut it almost immediat

Kaltain Leiya There was worry behind my sister's eyes when she asked to see the prince of Valinor. I still couldn't believe she was married. It felt strange to refer to him as her husband. Even though she was older than twelve, she was still very young, barely even sixteen. But it was obvious she loved him deeply. I gave her a small nod before turning to the maid who did the strands behind my gown. “Have you any idea where the Prince of Valinor lies?" "Yes, your majesty,” she muttered calmly. "I can take your majesty there.” Not too long after that, we made our way through a flight of stairs, following behind the maid who led us to where Xerian was. We walked for a few minutes before she stopped before a door. The guards pushed the doors open after lowering their heads to acknowledge our presence. Nayla ran up from behind me when she noticed the prince on the bed. I smiled inwardly as I watched her run to his side, nervously looking over him. “Xerian?"

KaltainLeiyaThe familiar walls of the Kaltain castle , the place I had grown to call home, brought tears of joy to my eyes. Helion had to make two more trips after taking Xerian away. He first took Nayla and I, before going back to get Kamael and Cizer. He could only transport himself with two other people.The moment he took my hand, I closed my eyes. When I smelt cleaner and better air, I opened them to find myself back in my room. A smile formed on my lips. I had always dreamed Nayla would sit on my bed, listening to the stories I had to tell, and now she actually was in the room, not as a dream or a thought, but actually standing beside me. I felt a kiss on the side of my head. “Welcome back home." Helion whispered with a smile. In a heartbeat, he was gone. When he left, I noticed the maids that stood by the end of the bed. They lowered their heads when we appeared before them. “They're here for our baths.”I informed Nayla as her excited eyes sc

Archurl Leiya The moment I whispered his name, he dropped the guard to the floor. The cell doors instantly disappeared and I walked right through. His eyes shone with happiness, his voice the most welcoming I had ever heard. “My beautiful Leiya.” I launched myself into his arms. I was just reunited with my sister and now the man, who snatched my heart like the demon that he was, found us just in time. It felt so surreal. Like a dream, like the fairytales you read in a book, except it was real. It was my life and it was happening to me. “I am so sorry for letting you go again," I heard his shaky voice through my sobs. He gently pulled me away, staring deeply into my soul. “I would never do that again." I was too stunned to speak. My heart was going through a rollercoaster of emotions but I knew, I was just as elated to see him. I quietly nodded, with a smile on my face. One of relief and tenderness. Looking into his eyes, all I could think about was how much I had

Archurl Leiya The moment I was thrown into the cell, she flung herself into my arms. Our entire bodies shuddered as we cried uncontrollably, clinging onto each other as if for dear life. Just when I had lost all hope, just when I thought my mother's spirit had abandoned me, all the while she was leading me to her. To Nayla. The emptiness around us didn't matter anymore. Our injuries didn't matter anymore. The bodily pain we felt, we couldn't feel them anymore. The moment took it all away. The unrequited joy of finally being together was enough healing magic for us. It was all the healing we needed, for our souls and for our bodies. We cried and cried. There was so much to say, so much to express, so many feelings all at once, but all that came were tears. The journey that seemed almost impossible, that we had both given up on, it was all worth it. We finally got the courage to let go. We pulled back slightly, just enough to get another glimpse of each other's

ArchurlLeiyaMy eyes gradually opened. The first thing they noticed was the movement of the rocky road. It took me a moment to notice I was being carried over a man's shoulder with a rope tied around my hands and legs. One by one, my brain began to piece together the last scenes I witnessed before I passed out. The sight of Yahn's lifeless body lying in a pool of his blood flashed before my eyes. My heart sank. I began to feel all the bitter emotions afresh. I hastily looked around me in search of the others. I was held firmly, my movements were restricted to just seeing in front of me. I tried to look over my shoulder. As soon as I tried, I felt a sharp horrible muscle pain. I didn't need to be told to look ahead of me. “Put me down!”I demanded with a loud yell, banging my tied fists against his back. I banged and banged, trying to get him to react, but I was getting the wrong attention. Just then, I realized I was being carried through a crowd of amused spe
