CHAPTER 40 - TRISTAN
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A sharp pain plunged through Tristan’s head again and again, deep through his skull. He opened his eyes at the morning sunlight, kissing his face. Warmth embraced his body, then he noticed he’d changed into white sleeping garments, not remembering changing his coat. Someone must’ve done it for him. His head ached; strong pulses that made him groan and roll on the soft bed. What happened last night? The only thing he remembered was Lewis and him drinking in the alehouse. And after that …
Oh, right …
Lewis took Tristan back to the Keep after their drink, then into this chamber. After that … Lewis left.
“What the hell … is going on with this head?” Tristan grunted, massaging his temples as the pain worsened after sitting up. Suddenly, his dry throat needed water. His eyes scanned the chamber … white painted walls with bright ceilings and floor, with a brown door t

Kael kept his eyes forward, waiting for the corruption magic to become in sight ahead of them. But it had been half an hour of riding through the depths of the forest without catching a single sense of the dark magic spreading. Something was not right. They should’ve seen it already several minutes ago.“Are you certain it’s accurately taking us to the source?” Kael said as they trotted through the woods. “It appears we are not heading towards the center of the forest.”“The compass is not taking us towards the source,” Lucas replied. “It’s taking us to Janshai. He may have been taken in a different location … far from the corruption.”Kael muttered a curse. That would take a longer time for them to locate the source of the dark magic. They had to find Janshai the soonest as possible.The White Forest was the largest in Glacia, making it the home for high-class beasts. But Kael had not found a single beast on their way. They must’ve fled from the forest, or perhaps died from the corru
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 42 - ARTH
The stone surface was cold and smooth when Arth moved. He opened his eyes. The dark skies thundered in orange, and the thick wind dried up his nose down to his throat. Then he heard a splashing of water. Arth faced left, finding a fountain of yellow waters. Where had he been taken?Arth found himself lying on the stone floor. He sat up and looked around. His eyes climbed as an enormous castle rose—it soared so high that dark red clouds had covered its peak. Its walls were made of black glass, like obsidian. Arth swallowed hard in his throat as he sensed powerful auras coming from the castle. Darkness hid inside the large arch windows and everywhere around him. No light illuminated his vision but the yellow waterfall behind him.The hot, intoxicating wind breezed and brushed on Arth’s face that he had to cover his nose to keep himself from inhaling all of it. He tried to remember what happened the previous time he was awake. Lord Ander … he had killed all the men inside that cave. A ti
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 43 - TRISTAN
Clear blue skies flashed as Tristan opened his eyes, gasping as if he had lost air, but he could now breathe the cool, fresh breeze that brushed against his face. No clouds hid the heavens. Tristan had no clue of why he was panting, his lungs thirsting for air. Had he been dead? This must be heaven, or so it seemed. Memories from that night flashed back in his mind. He recalled Bow shoving him out of the edge of the ship, with a heavy anchor chained to his ankles. He remembered falling until he hit the waters, descending into the depths of the ocean, helpless. It was as if hell pulling him. Air slowly escaped his lungs out of his screaming mouth, then replaced by the ocean waters. Tristan was drowning … and drowning … but what happened after he could not remember.Tristan held his chest, his heartbeat pounding fast. What the hell happened to him? How did he arrive in this … empty but serene place? He looked around, finding nothing but the vast horizon where the skies touched the calm
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 44 - KAEL
“You’ve got to be joking,” Lucas cursed as he stared at the ball of the compass, glowing wildly as it pointed in the direction ahead of them. “No wonder I have not felt the demon curse in this blood … I thought it was only the freezing cold.” Kael swallowed hard at the lump in his throat, then he breathed out of his mouth, releasing all the tension in his chest. Seeing Luna stepping out of the darkness brought life to his empty heart. Her messy golden hair, bright-green eyes, and sharp face, everything about her was just … beautiful. A smile of relief was drawn on her wounded lips. But before Kael could take a step forward, Robert rushed past him towards the woman. “You’re alive!” the young man embraced her tightly. “I thought you were … killed by the demon …” “It’d be a shame if I died,” Luna replied, hugging Robert back while her eyes locked on Kael. “I always knew you’d come.” Robert pulled himself and looked up at the eyes of the tall woman. “I’m so glad you’re okay, Luna.” L

“You are my ancestor?” Arth said with his eyes wide open. No wonder he had found the cold aura of the demon somewhat familiar. His ancestor … Lord Ander … was the first Aragon who defeated a Demon Lord. He could never believe what he was hearing. But … how the hell did it happen? How did the first of their blood become a demon?“My eyes had once been like yours,” Lord Ander replied. “Once bright-ocean blue, but now darkness had devoured its color.”Arth hesitated, lowering his eyes before he asked, “What happened after you defeated the Demon Lord?”“Hmm …” Lord Ander mumbled. “It was a sacrifice I had to make to save our people. I was wise enough to submit myself to becoming a demon, just so they wouldn’t harm my family … and my kingdom. Because I’ve known that if I refused, then there would be grave consequences.”“What consequences?”“Eternal chaos …” Lord Ander’s dark eyes turned to Arth. “I had to seal them all into the Underworld. I used my blood to close the portal before I was
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 46 - TRISTAN
Warm sunlight greeted Tristan’s eyes as he awoke, with the small waves on the shore touching his feet. He groaned and sat up. Looking around, the shorelines had nothing but sand and coconut trees—and behind him stood a tropical forest. Seagulls squawked above him in the morning skies. Was he on an island? Gondra must’ve brought him here after showing him those visions from the past he had no idea about.Tristan thought he felt an object in his hand. His eyes widened in realization as he found Draphiron’s core in his palm. The small sphere faintly glimmered in frost blue. So it had not been a dream at all. The serpent was real … and that meant his request was too.“Protect,” Tristan muttered to himself, staring at the core. What must he protect? The core? The dragons? More questions had confused him more, but only one marked his thoughts; why him? Out of all the people in this world … why did Gondra choose a bitter, selfish man who could not even protect his disabled younger sister who
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 47 - KAEL
The White Forest was darker than a moonless night, but Kael’s light ball had shown the path through the silent trees. He kept his head low, his eyes stealing glances at Luna’s boots beside him as they walked. They had become wordless ever since they separated from Lucas and Robert. Even now, he still had anxieties and fear that he had just made a huge mistake, considering how dangerous it was to let Lucas freely walk around with no one but a young swordsman to watch him over.Kael swallowed in his throat, wondering how he would begin a conversation with her. Should he ask how she had been? No … Luna had reported what had happened to her. Perhaps he should ask if she had already eaten. Would that be too weird?Kael took a deep breath before he opened his mouth to speak—“How have you been?”Luna’s voice froze Kael’s jaws as he raised his head. He found her looking confused, her eyes blinking under her furrowed brows. “Why do you look shocked?”Kael realized he still had his mouth open,
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 48 - ARTH
Become a Ka’ern …Become a demon …The phrases kept on repeating inside Arth’s head as he took a stroll along the stone bridge, supported by two columns of pillars that reached up towards the arched roof. The path was narrow but long. It connected three towers; from the left wing to the center tower of the castle and then to the Right Wing. Arth paused in the middle of the bridge towards the Left Wing, leaning his elbows on the stone ledges. His thoughts ran only through his discussion with the Demon Lord earlier.Arth had asked Lord Ander an amount of time for him to decide. Him being truly fortunate, as his bloodline was the only thing that kept the Demon Lord from killing him. Though Lord Ander gave Arth the freedom to roam around the castle, he could feel he was still being watched. It might’ve been Shadowhunter who’s following him.Again, Arth shook himself to return to focusing on his options. If he’d become a Ka’ern, it would prevent the entire Legion from opening the portal to

A huge explosion shook the area of the Ashenvale forest.“What is this power?” Maester David was staying in the big tree watching General Kael and his student, Arth battle.He could see Arth at a disadvantage after taking many hits and blows by the mighty sword of the General. Every attack of the general and every block of Arth was slowly draining his strength.General Kael was still holding his sword one hand while Arth was already panting and wounded.“Just yield, Arth. You can’t defeat me.” The general said.“Even with my last breath, I will never yield.” Arth replied catching his breath. His brown cloak was already shed with blood and his lower ankle injured. Soil and dust are already on his face and his yellow hair.“Then I’ll force that out of your mouth.” The general quickly touched the ground with his hand and looked at Arth narrowly. “You’ll regret this.”The ground began to shake suddenly. Huge root vines came out from the ground and extended towards Arth with speed.Arth he

The plan changed. Because of the chase, I was led to east from Casterfall Kingdom. Arth thought while riding his horse in a snow plain. I guess the best route for me is Frostwood village. I want to see Chief again. He passed through big stones covered with snow. From there, snow began to fall lightly.I wonder how Grand Master Tera is doing. The knights from Ice Crown Glacier are really scary. Arth saw a hawk flying over the big stones. But the one who saved me… who is he? I heard the Grand Knight call him Grand Magus. His magic is purely immense. I want to learn those skills someday. The hawk landed over the other big stone in his left side. Arth noticed that the hawk was wearing a black scarf collar on its neck.“What in the world…” Arth felt something strange about the hawk. Then, the hawk began to cry out suddenly.Wait a sec… Arth realized that it was not a wild bird. “It’s calling someone!”He whipped the rope of his horse to run fast. Then, he began to hear running footsteps

The village bell rang in the cold and windy mountain top. The noise of the women and men calling and shouting filled the whole atmosphere with intensity and fear. After a few moments, the doors and windows of the houses were closed and locked tightly. The men which appeared to be hunters gathered towards the center village.The village was located on top of the mountains and built above the stones on the sides. Stones on the mountains have been formed to make stairs/roads from the base to the village on top. It was almost the end of afternoon and the skies are getting dark.“Sir Kael! They already reached the southern gate in the base of the hills.” One hunter wearing black jacket approached Kael who was walking towards the scout tower. Kael walked towards the wooden stairs up to the scouts. He went to see what’s below the mountains. He could clearly see hundreds of blue caped knights standing on the base of the mountains.“Quick, tell the people to pack and go all the way towards the

“So, the Arth that you’ve talked about with Chief Gregor is the rightful heir to the frozen throne?” Tristan said with a loud voice. “Keep it down. Someone might hear us.” Maester David replied as they jumped from their horses and walked towards the entrance to the dark woods. They stopped and the maester pointed at the woods, “We have to reach the city as soon as possible. And this is the fastest way for us.”Tristan looked at the dark entrance and he could hear the echoes of the sound from the deep woods. “I can definitely sense many things here.” He said as he narrowed his eyes. Snow was falling from the white sky and a slight cold wind breezed through the two.“These woods are lived by wild beasts. I can sense them too.” Maester David replied. “No, it’s not only the beasts. I can feel something else. A group of people, I guess?” Tristan told the maester. Then he shook his head, “Never mind. Let’s go now, maester.”They began walking on the snowy path towards the entrance. “Stay al

After the tricky escape of Arth and Robert, they arrived in the secret tunnel of Casterfall kingdom in which Grand Master Tera told them before. I’m back here, again. Arth thought. The last time Arth was there was when he ran away and chased by the knights. The two entered the tunnel and it was pitch-black. They could hear the water running through the tunnel as they walked on the side. Robert casted an Illumination in a lesser energy to light up the tunnel way. “How was the academy you got into with Bran?” Arth suddenly asked while looking down in the stone way as he walked.“It was great. There are lots of things that I learned there.” Robert replied. “But Bran was still the same. He never learns.”Arth smiled as he shook his head. “I envy you. You got to learn a lot. It must be so fun.”“Why? What about your private trainings with Grand Master Tera?” Robert turned to him while walking.“We only did some training to build my stamina. And he only taught me one skill.” Arth replied.“
The Rise of the Frost Dragons (Blue Triangle Series #2) CHAPTER 95 - KAEL
Now that I got these knights away from my village, I better think about my escape now. Kael told himself as he was sitting on a horse behind Grand Knight Bryle with his hands chained. He realized that there were also eight knights in a formation with them. One in front was a banner man carrying the flag of the Ice Crown. Kael and the grand knight were in the center and the other seven knights surrounded them as they travelled on their horses. I can’t fight them but I just need to distract them only if I have my sword with me. Using just magic is not enough to distract them. Kael thought as he looked at the pine trees covered in snow they pass through. He turned to the Grand Knight’s back and looked down to his elegant sword. An enchanted sword, huh? There’s clearly no chance of fighting them. “So, you’re Kael? The son of king Kaelas?” Grand Knight Bryle said smiling. “I never thought you’re alive.” Kael remained quiet after what the knight said.“I once served him. To be honest, I h

Tristan quickly walked passed through two small houses towards the big white tent ahead. There were wooden benches outside the tent which are for the people accompanying their sick or injured patient. The chief directly saw maester David wearing blue cloak sitting in the bench on the right side impatiently waiting. He approached the maester quickly.“Maester David?” Tristan called while he was walking towards him. The maester turned and was relieved to see him. Maester David stood and shook hands with the chief.“Tristan, it’s been how many years.” The maester said.“15 years actually,” the chief replied. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be in Ice Crown right? And what’s with the elf?” He asked with his eyebrows meeting.“I’ve got bad news. There’s a war coming.” The maester said worriedly as he sat down.“A war? What are you talking about?” the chief replied.“King Muradin will declare war with the elves if they don’t give what he asks. He sent me there to negotiate but t

“What happened to the kid?” Lord Nicholas was standing in the tiled path towards the entrance to the high garden. He was in his white sleeved clothing and brown pants. Grand Master Tera was there in the entrance of the garden looking at the fountains. The sky was cloudy but there was no snow falling. The snow that covered the grounds and plants made it seem that snow just fell earlier.Grand Master Tera looked above and saw the high towers of the castle. He sighed instead of turning to Lord Nicholas. “He’s gone.”“To where? The knights from Ice Crown Glacier became frustrated that they didn’t found the boy. You said he was there in his room?” The lord said.The Grand master turned to the lord, “I already said it, my lord. He’s gone. I don’t know how or why.”“And you were gone also by the time the knights searched his room. Is there something you’re not telling me, master Tera?” Lord Nicholas looked him in the eye as he walked towards him.“I was in my office, my lord. I just continu

The green woods and mountains of Ashenvale have spread throughout its entire region. The scent of the husky woods and the sound of the birds made the entire environment a natural and peaceful to be in.Maester Kael, wearing a blue cloak and carrying his valyrian sword, have gone through the green woods. The soft soil of the earth gave the maester a comfortable travel on it.The place seemed to be so magical. A strong spiritual energy can be felt by the maester in to the woods.The wisps have always protected their forest and brought life in it. Maester Kael thought as he walked in the pathway through the forest.He saw different friendly animals on his way through the woods. He encountered stags, birds, monkeys, and a hippo. Such beauty the forest holds. I have to get to the Guardian of the Forest as soon as possible. The maester thought.He crossed a shallow river ahead and jumped on the small rocks. After reaching on the other side, he saw a yellow butterfly flying towards him. The
