CHAPTER FORTY NINEElenaMinutes slipped into hours which slipped into days which slipped into God knows what, my only comprehension of time seeming to be the constant rise and fall of daylight and darkness and even that slowly began to resemble figments of my imagination.Training was rigorous still becoming even more intense after my little stunt with the fireball, I was a bit relieved Gulliver wasn't around for this bit, though I'd bet he'd gotten tired of seeing me fumble up and landing on my keister on a constant basis, he'd taken a break going back to see how things were being run in Dracul's absence. Dracul, the mere thought of him sent mixed emotions accompanied by a discomforting chill down my spine, I wondered how he was faring, if he was faring at all, of late I'd begun to wonder just if he was still-"You're brooding again and playing with dinner again." Gammy tells me, her eyes sparkling from the other side of the table. "Your one man monologue won't bring you any closer

CHAPTER FIFTYDraculSomewhere in between all those never ending seconds, I finally lost ahold of time, the pain, had reduced me to a slobbering mess, he'd been right, in time as the whispers increased and the pain opened up my mind to susceptibility, whatever resolve I'd had slowly broke off to his will. "Serve!" The malevolent voice roars in my head for the umpteenth time. "No!" I yell right back. Her face filters in my head, it's cracked now, fragmented like my sanity but it's her it's hope, I reach out to her and just like that the figure dissipates into thin air, it always dissipates. "You've been resilient, I commend you on that, your mind still fights." Jacob says with a smile. "A futile fight but a fight nonetheless.""Killing you will be satisfactory." I tell him although very weakly. I can barely see through the pain but my other senses are heightened beyond measure and I smell her before she comes in, hear her footsteps as she walks towards me and feel her gentle touch

CHAPTER FIFTY ONEElenaThe Night howled with a fierceness, a sort of crazed frenzy if one could have said and it absolutely set me on a rage, my entire body and senses tingled with a manic delight if you'd have it that way, one that left my teeth gnashing and my eyes bloodshot, something or someone was coming, I could feel it, smell it and taste it to the point of anticipation and it kept me awake.The wind sieved in through the cracks in the walls and Windows playing a tune and whispering in a strange tongue save for one clear word."Elena!" It roared howling a tune to which the rustling of the nearby trees served as the drums.The old Granny had ordered me stay off the woods at night, 'treacherous woods' she had called them 'filled with even more treacherous creatures', every tale made her believe death came with the night but the woods would not leave me alone eventually it built up roaring into a swirling crescendo that I could no longer take much less contain and before I could

CHAPTER FIFTY TWOGulliverThe moonlight reflected off the clear bowl of water and the spell flowed off my lips, the cool breeze wafting his way across my skin, and the waters rippled as the spell reached it's finality, peeking with one eye open, I let out a sigh of relief, locator magic wasn't really my forte but I seemed to get it right in this instance.Elena sat across from a hunched over figure whim she soothed lovingly, he wondered who that was, it was no shame of him to admit that I had checked up on her at every sparse bit of breathing space I'd got from the constant strain of watching over Dracul's castle and not once had i seen this in my scrying.Grandmother had been pretty keen on her home being protected against scrying forces but I had found a loophole that he wouldn't be willing to tell her about anytime soon, his concentration wavered and just for a bit the images flickered, the figure in question stood abruptly and the blanket fell off, the person in question causing

CHAPTER FIFTY THREEGulliver"Again." She ordered as the stick clatters on the dusty ground, my hands are bruised and malformed from years of intense casting, she stands towering above me, her glinting with a cold spark resonating down her cold dark abysmal heart."I said again!" She roared her stick tapping the ground with a force of magic that sent an unrefreshing shockwave through me, struggling with my shaky legs, I crawl through the wave of pain wracking my entire system as I manage to stand. "Pathetic!" She scoffs her eyes refusing to look at me. "Clearly your father's genes, it's a pity she married him, a pity that is you, the world will eat you up boy, it is cruel to our kind, halfling or not, it is my duty to train you, trust me I despise this much as you do, now Again!"Electricity much akin to a dose of lightning arced from the tip of her fingers and I barely had enough time to cast my shoddy defense magic and I was hurled back my back hitting the wall with a resoundi

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR Miranda PowerIt felt so good I could barely breathe, a breathe of fresh air, I had to hand it to Denise she really did know how to bring out the perfect burst of energy, a unique sort of blend of energy flowed into my veins, it was a burst of refreshment and her screams encouraged me causing me to siphon her powers with even more joy.It seemed endless, when all of a sudden it all went wrong, the entire room had been silent save from the sound of her constant screaming and Gulliver's incessant but pointless struggling grunt and then all of a sudden it stopped, it was almost as if I'd reached a barrier in her magic, a great unfathomable wall of magic that resisted even my prowess"What in-"My next words fail me as an inconceivable pain slithers it's way across my arm, forcing me to withdraw with a grunt of pain, her eyes open and so does an immense flood of power, my skin positively crawls as I'm blown back by an impeccable amount of magic, the blast does more th

CHAPTER FIFTY FIVEElenaI barely had enough consciousness as we dropped from the endless abyss, with just enough strength to crawl my way to the gates, with a final burst of magic, I let the gates rumble slightly."Help," I groaned against my aching and tired muscles, "We need help." I felt the intense warmth of hands clasp tightly around me just as the firm grip of unconsciousness took a hold of me, finally at least we were safe._____A splash of cold washed over me accompanied by a wave of nausea and I opened my eyes to the darkness, I could tell it was a dream, I'd known that I'd brought us home, where and how the power had come, I had no clue, but simply telling myself it was a dream did not do much to calm my palpitating heart or my frenzied nerves.Something slunk by me, brushing me hard and sending me spiraling into the darkness, making it avidly clear that I wasn't alone, it continued touching and pushing me according to it's whims, each touch bringing along with it the col

CHAPTER FIFTY SIXMirandaThe whispers had started out slow and every time I knew, she'd just known that it was him, sinking into the very fragile creaks in my mind, slipping through my crumbling defenses, and warping the very core of my mind intensifying the hatred I felt, causing my skin to prickle and burn. Its whisper grew in my head to a stifling deafening crescendo."Serve!" The voice swells in my head, accompanied by a faint ringing. "You will serve!"I brought my hands to my ears in an attempt to drown out the maddened frenzy with a peaceful spell and was met with the feel of blood dripping steadily from my ears, hitting me with a stunning realization, whatever this was, it was affecting me, killing me from the inside.A hissing laugh follows. "Y-you cannot escape," it said, voice sounding like metals scraping over each other. "You're mine, yield!"The voice goes on in my head, laughing and teasing, burning its way through the recesses of my mind, twisting and turning my mem

Chapter sixty sevenDraculI awoke with a feeling of intense foreboding, with my sharp ears I could hear the cries of war as it raged on not too far from me, why was I asleep, why was I not part of the fight, it didn't seem right that I wasn't part of it. Like a fog the veil was lifted and my memories fell like snow, blanketing all the crevices of my mind, Elena's scent, her voice and her tears, it seemed like she was here with me, but she wasn't, she was on her own in the battlefield, making the hardest and most terrible choice she could ever make, Elena was leaving me. The thoughts took a few seconds to settle in my head but when it did, a deadening roar escaped my lips and two leathery wings sprouted from my back, I took to the skies, angered and afraid, there was no way I'd let her do this at least not alone.The guards stationed to guard me seemed to have a field day bickering with one another, silently I unfurled my wings and took to sky burning a hole large enough for my esca

Chapter sixty sixDraculAt first I thought a sort of darkness had encroached the lands, but as we approached getting closer and closer, I realized that they were all men, dressed in armor, that resembled the very blackness of night on a closer look, with magical scouts and it was made known that the influence of Chaos had been far spread among them, drawing heavily on their very essence.The Shadow Army as I'd termed them had incited a deep fear in the once riotously psyched men and women and hushed montones and murmurings sifted it's way through the restless crowd, even the horses neighed in dismay and left to them, they'd have bolted out just like many of the faces."Sire," Alvarez's voice came through to me "They are rustlings in the group, how exactly do we win this war, we have planned but all in all this is not a man, neither is it a man's war, where exactly is Elena?"I stared on ahead, not meeting what I assume to be his heavy gaze, I could not tell him we were going to win,

chapter sixty fiveDraculaI burst out from the meeting hall, me alongside a dozen other men who were leaders in their own right. I bit back the order to send them back inside, but the chatter amidst them had already blossomed and the last thing I needed after that maddened announcement was to incite anger in our 'allies', I spotted Gulliver amidst the crowd and he clutched Elena tightly leading through the intent stares placed on her."What does the entity want with your wife?!" A loud prickly voice resonates through the fast growing crowd. The crowd seemed to part for her from her aged face, and dark eyes that glinted with a sense of maddened intelligence, the litter of her cane sent tremors through the crowd and that was what caused the parting, making way until I came eye to eye with the old crone. "Lady DaSilva of the Earthborns" She said curtsying really lowly and yet I could still sense the defiance rolling off of her "The enemy is upon us and war might begin in nothing short

Chapter sixty fourElenaMy body ached as I moved about, the castle had become more of a fortress with soldiers wide eyed and scary, and scared men alike roaming about, increasing chatters filled every nook and cranny, especially since the sky had taken on the reddish tinge and the wisps of Chaotic magic filled the air whispering and sowing vile seeds of fear in their hearts. I had enough weirdness going around from men gazing at me with reverence and communal, with a certain group of witches who seemed pretty intent on adding me into their coven.In the midst of this tumult and chaos, no pun intended, I'd barely been able to get a glimpse of Dracula, to even hope for some alone time with him was a dream I sparsely had enough time to think about it, Currently I sat listening to some sort of magical brigade intervention squad and even with the end of the world looking and everyone legitimately occupied, I'd just about had enough and I felt the insidious strain of a migraine coming on.

Chapter Sixty threeMiranda My hands shook with fears and madness, I couldn't move, a golden framework of spells netted me down, with the last of his life force Taisfet had cast two spells, One to send the wretched traitor Elena away and the other to tie me down to this damned place. Several days seemed to have passed by and the only sustenance I could get was from feeding Chaos into my body.The tree had wilted and crumbled around me and the last days of Order were wilting away, fading off and with each passing second Taisfet's spell waned off and I drowned in Chaos magic, my pale skin and blackened hands and pale almost white skin were proof of it's infestation, as I fed off it, the veins blackened and my thoughts loosened."Yes child!" Chaos Howled with glee "Embrace it! embrace the darkness, together we'll corrupt this mad world!"The golden binds flickered, I sneered at Taisfet's decomposing form, If only he'd just helped, things wouldn't have come to this, maybe Chaos was righ

chapter sixty twoGulliverThe clouds had darkened above the kingdom, between an oncoming war and a maddened unfit king, I pretty much had my hands filled up, although the straw that broke the camel's back would be Elena's sudden and abrupt disappearance with nothing but a note left behind in her stead, even as I read it over and over again, I could not get any proper emotion save for the intense burning rage that threatened to burn through me, How could she leave at a time like this?Every able bodied shifter folk had been stationed from the castle to the very border of the kingdom and yet a deep sense of foreboding filled me, almost as if I knew that she'd slip out, This was pure madness I wasn't cut out for this I wasn't-.

Chapter sixty oneElenaLeaving was the easy part, with the Chaos threat at hand, father and Gulliver were much too ingrained in their plots and defense mechanism to notice me slip out, after all they didn't see me recovering anytime soon and none of them were seemingly aware of the mystical powers that had been gifted to me by the little one growing inside of me.The hard part itself was the journey, the land had begun to heal, but not quickly enough, one false step would lead to an endless abysmal fall, Not to mention, guards were stationed everywhere even though I'd been explicit in the letter I'd left that I was not to be searched for, Gulliver the stubborn headed goat.There was a strange feeling I had, although the journey was presumably treacherous, it always did feel like I was protected from the brunt of it, like some invisible kind of shield or halo of grace that kept the most ferocious of monsters away, nevertheless I was covered up in scrapes and bruises until I reached th

Chapter SixtyMirandaThe wind howled with a ferocity as I made my way through the woods, the landscape had slowly begun to change from the lush forests to a cold and a harsh rocky terrain, the elements themselves seem to be well against me, pretty hell bent on getting me farther and farther away from him.The wind howled with a ferocity, but even with it's harshness the voice of the entity seemingly stuck in my head yelled out even harsher in my head, it was a miracle that I managed to even move given the burden that weighed down on me.I'd just made camp for the night and from the distance I could hear the faint howling of the wolves, for safety I cast another layer of protection around my tent, maybe such a huge one had been a mistake but it'd been deemed necessary along with two other guards who'd been quickly dispatched off by the teeming monsters in the woods of Valor.It was all the same to me though, I could finally drop the glamour and travel freely across the woods, not to m

Chapter fifty-NineElenaThe guards flew like they were made from putty, each hitting the hard stone walks with resounding thuds followed by the snapping of bones and pained yells, in the end, it had taken over fifteen guards to subdue Dracul enough to let us perform a higher grade ritual on him, even then he struggled madly against the luminescent chains keeping him bound and the guards had quite a problem keeping up.'Now my lady," the captain yells at me. “We cannot hold on much longer.”I glanced at Gulliver who gave a nod and together we proceeded with the spell."Zeruko.. kateak moisten dizugu zoramena lotzeko!" We chanted in unison.The words flowed out of our mouths repetitively and despite the immense drain from my still depleted sources I could see the faint inklings of the spell coming to life around him, my consciousness wavered but I needed to keep going, at least for Dracul's sake."Zeruko kateak otoizten dizugu zoramena lotzeko!" The words flowed faster and I leaned int
