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.Related chapters

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

Kaltain LeiyaThose were the most horrifying two letter words I had heard in my entire life. Nothing could prepare me for them. I felt my heart fall to the ground and shatter into a million pieces. Not once did he take his eyes off me as I took my hands to my gaping mouth. Without warning, the tears began to fall from my eyes. The entire world around me started to spin, causing me to stagger to the ground. I was prepared to violently hit the ground when I felt his hands around me.“Leiya,” He exclaimed, gripping onto me tightly to prevent me from hitting the floor. He gently picked me up, making his way to the chair by the window. As he placed me into the chair, I felt an immediate rush of rage overwhelm me.“You liar! I yelled. “Get away from me.”I banged on his face and body with every energy in me. Soon enough I was beating my fists into the air. He had vanished, now standing on the other side of the room. I crossed my arms over my chest as if trying to

KaltainLeiyaAfter a very long silence, I turned my teary eyes behind me. He had left. How could a person, no he wasn't a person, calling him a human would be an insult to the human race. He was a creature. A selfish, cowardly creature, who couldn't own up to his wrongs and apologize for it. When I said I never wanted to see him again, I meant every word. I got up from the chair and made my way to the bed. I dragged myself into it, about to place my head down when I noticed a flash of color in the corner of my eye. Something caught my attention and that thing was under the chair. Leaning in, I squinted my eyes to get a clearer view. It looked like a book. The book. I jumped out of bed, rushing to pick it up. Sure enough, it was the black book of spells. My head immediately played back the memory of a few minutes ago, where he told me the actual page for teleportation. I quickly flipped to page five. I couldn't say it made a difference because I still didn't u

Unknown LeiyaSuddenly, everywhere around me was dark, as if I was transported to a void. I looked around me for the faintest indication of light, but I found none. It felt like I was standing on a smooth surface, but to be sure, I used my feet to feel the floor below me. I listened for any sound, but the air was heavy with an eerie silence. The only thing I could hear was my own breathing and pounding heart. Did I not do it right? I asked myself as I continued to look around the nothingness. There was no way I was going to be sure, the book was definitely at Kaltain and I had no recollection of the spell. The distressing feeling of regret was unavoidable. The weight of the silence was getting to me, and my thoughts were becoming louder and louder, almost as if they were not in my head but coming from around me. Not sure where I was heading, I cautiously put my foot out to move forward. Using my hands to feel around me for a wall, obstacle or even person. I felt o
