Derek's heart was pounding as he saw the maid preparing to pour the herbs into Aurora's drink. He couldn't let it happen. He walked over to her quickly, grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand away from the drink."Okay, hands off," he said, his voice low and urgent.The maid looked startled, but she didn't resist as he took the pouch of herbs from her hand."I'll do it myself," Derek said firmly. "You can leave now."The maid nodded and quickly left the room, looking a bit confused. Derek watched her go before turning back to the drink.He took a deep breath, trying to steady his hands. He knew what he had to do, even though it made him sick to his stomach. Derek's heart was pounding so hard that he could barely hear anything else. His mind was in chaos as he held the pouch of herbs in his hand, staring at it as if it held the fate of the world. He walked towards the window.As Derek opened the windows, a gust of wind rushed into the room, blowing his hair back and ruffling the paper

Aurora's hand shook as she clutched the belly knife tightly, her fingers turning white from the pressure. With her heart racing and her mind set on her plan, she lifted her skirt with her free hand, exposing her thigh. Taking a deep breath, she quickly sliced the blade across her skin, wincing at the pain but determined to carry on.The wound started to bleed profusely. The blood flowed out of the cut and dripped down her thigh, staining her dress and pooling on the floor. The metallic scent of blood filled the air, and Aurora felt lightheaded from the loss of blood. She tried to stifle a gasp of pain and clutched her thigh with her free hand to slow the bleeding. The blood was thick and dark, and it seemed like an endless stream. It flowed out of the wound in a steady trickle, forming a small puddle on the floor. The sight of the blood made Aurora feel nauseous, and she had to steady herself against the table to avoid falling. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to calm herself do

Derek entered Aurora's room, and as soon as she saw him, she sat up on her bed,.“Derek…”Derek said nothing, instead he walked quickly over to Aurora.His arms wrapped around Aurora's small frame, pulling her close to his chest. She could feel the strength of his embrace, the warmth of his body radiating against hers. It was a familiar feeling, one that made her feel safe and protected.She leaned her head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. It was a calming sound, and she found herself slowly relaxing in his arms. The scent of him filled her nostrils, a mixture of leather, musk, and something uniquely Derek.Aurora closed her eyes, enjoying the moment of closeness with him. She could feel his fingers tracing patterns on her back, sending shivers down her spine. His touch was gentle, but she could sense the underlying strength behind it.For a moment, they remained like that, wrapped up in each other's arms. It was a peaceful moment, one that Aurora wished c

Zen, Gasher, and Furo trudged on in the dense woods, still in search of the elusive Black Cave of Oints. The atmosphere was eerie, the only sound coming from the rustling of leaves underfoot and the occasional snap of a twig. The towering trees cast deep shadows, and the only light came from the occasional beam of sunlight that filtered through the leaves.As they walked, Zen noticed that the forest had grown increasingly quiet. "Have you guys noticed how silent it's gotten?" he asked, his voice hushed. "It's like everything's holding its breath."Gasher nodded. "I don't like it. Something feels off."Furo, ever the optimist, tried to lighten the mood. "Maybe it's just because we're in a part of the forest where there aren't many animals. Or maybe they're all taking a nap!"Zen gave a small chuckle, but the tension remained. They walked on in silence for a while longer, the oppressive quiet weighing heavily on them.Suddenly, Gasher held up a hand, signaling for them to stop. "Do you

Zen, Furo, and Gasher were forced to kneel next to a blazing bonfire, the flames licking the air and the heat causing sweat to bead on their foreheads. Black sacks had been thrown over their heads, muffling their senses and making it difficult to breathe. They had been captured by a pack, and the sense of danger was palpable in the air.Gasher strained to hear any movements nearby, but the only sound was the crackle of the bonfire. He could feel the heat on his face, the smoke stinging his nostrils. His heart was pounding in his chest as he wondered what was to become of them.Zen's mind was racing, trying to formulate a plan. He tried to focus on his surroundings, feeling the heat of the fire on his skin and the coarse texture of the ground beneath him. He could hear the muffled sounds of the pack members talking nearby, their voices harsh and guttural.Furo took deep breaths, trying to remain calm and centered. His senses were heightened, and he could feel the tension in the air. Th

The two girls were sitting on either side of the fat man lying on his bed. They both had their hands gently placed upon the man's body as they began to caress him with a loving touch. As they moved their hands in circles around his soft round belly they could feel the warmth emanating from beneath them. The first girl started by lightly tracing her fingertips along his chest, feeling every contour of muscle and flesh as she went. She was careful not to be too rough with her touch but instead wanted it to be gentle and comforting for him. With each stroke she felt herself getting more aroused and excited by what she was doing and how it made her feel when touching another person this intimately. The other was a bit more adventurous with her caresses and began to run her hands all over the man's body. She started by running them up and down his arms, feeling every curve of muscle and softness beneath her fingertips as she moved around him. Next she ran both hands across his chest in c

Zen, Furo, and Gasher were resting in the cave with a few other pack members when suddenly some of the members came in and announced, "It's time, let's move." The pack members hurriedly got their weapons and began to move out of the cave. Zen, Furo, and Gasher followed them, not knowing what was happening. As they stepped outside, they saw more pack members gathering outside, preparing for something. The atmosphere was tense, and everyone seemed to be in a hurry. The sound of footsteps and weapons clanging filled the air as they moved towards the exit.Gasher asked the one who seemed like the leader, "What's going on?"He replied, "What do you think? There's a rodeo tonight."Gasher knew exactly what they meant by rodeo—a robbery.Confused and clueless about what was going on, Zen and Furo exchanged glances, silently communicating their confusion to each other. They had not signed up for anything like this and had no idea what was going on.Gasher noticed their confusion and leaned

He looked up at Aurora, who was standing in front of him, and said, "I don't understand, what am I supposed to see here?"He looked at the letter in his hand, it was the letter from Osei to Aurora and she had shown him.Aurora raised an eyebrow at him, "Are you really pretending to not understand?"Derek chuckled nervously, even though he understood what Aurora was trying to tell him, he was still trying to feign ignorance.Aurora said, "Look, you don't have to lie to me, I know the truth already. I don't like it when I realize you're not confident in me over things like this. Yes, your mother and sister are suffering from the blue blade disease alright, there's no need to even hide it from me in the first place."Derek sighed and ran his hands through his hair, "I'm really sorry Aurora, it's just that it was a family secret and—""And I'm an outsider?" Aurora finished his sentence for him.Derek shook his head, "No, no it's just that..."Aurora said, "I know I'm somehow involved in

Gasher's heart was pounding so hard that he thought Ragnar might wake up. Ragnar's guards were nowhere to be seen, and the room was eerily quiet. Gasher took a step closer to Ragnar's bed. He could see the veins bulging on Ragnar's neck, and his chest heaving up and down with each breath. He felt a surge of anger and hatred towards the man who had caused so much pain to his family.As he got closer, Gasher could see the sweat on Ragnar's forehead, and the look of tension in his sleep. He wanted to laugh at the sight, but he knew he had to stay focused. He couldn't let his guard down, not for a second.Gasher raised his sword, ready to strike. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should say something. But then he realized that there was nothing to say. Ragnar had brought this upon himself, and he had to pay the price. Gasher looked down upon him with a cold, hard stare, and then he swung his sword down towards Ragnar.Gasher stood in the darkness of the night, sword in hand, rea

"Speaking of the queen, have you heard about what happened between her and Ragnar? I heard she attacked him in his chambers!"The group erupted in laughter at the thought of the petite queen attacking the powerful Ragnar. "I can't believe she had the strength to do that," one of them said between chuckles.Zen, the man who had noticed Gasher's distraction earlier, chimed in with a more serious tone. "I heard that the princess was stabbed by a guard.”Some of them nodded in agreement.“He's still at large, but who knows, one of us might even be the killer,” another added looking at the others with playfully suspicious eyes."But do you guys reckon Ragnar will do if the prince and his wife are eventually found?" one of them asked, his voice shaking slightly."I don't know, but I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now," another replied.The conversation died down as they continued to walk in silence, the only sounds coming from the rustling of leaves and twigs under their feet.

The six rainmakers were travelling through the thick bushes in silence. They had all their ritual tools and materials being pulled in a cart by two men. Fred, who was leading the group, suddenly stopped walking. The other five members of the party looked at him with worry in their eyes as he remained silent, his gaze fixed on something ahead of them.One of the cautiously asked,“Why did you stop? What is going on?”There was no answer from Fred as he continued to look around warily. He then took out a small Dagger from his belt and soon after three more men did the same, taking out their daggers too. The two women held onto each other tightly as they felt fear rising within them about what might happen next. In a flash seven masked men jumped out of the bushes and charged towards them. The two men who were pulling the cart immediately ran for their lives, leaving the other four to fend for themselves. The attackers began slashing and stabbing at them mercilessly as they screamed i

The six people in white robes stood still, eyes closed, hands clasped together as they waited for Fred to start the eclipse calling ceremony. The burning pyre in the center of the square emitted a warm glow, casting flickering shadows on the ground. Suddenly, Fred began to dance around the square, howling words that were incomprehensible to everyone but him. He walked around, rattling the short stick in his hand, while the others in white robes began to sway to the beat of the music.Gasher watched from the sidelines, his face tense with anticipation. Fred's dance grew more intense, his howls louder as he worked himself into a frenzy. His feet pounded the ground as he twirled, his arms flailing around him.Ragnar watched from his seat, his eyes fixed on the spectacle before him. He was surrounded by Gasher and a few other guards, all of whom looked on with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. As Fred's dance reached its climax, Ragnar leaned forward, his eyes narrowing as he watch

Era said, a hint of impatience creeping into her voice. "It's the key to the cage. The princess

One of the men, engrossed in the task of cutting down the tree, noticed a faint movement in the distance. He squinted his eyes, trying to make out what it was. Suddenly, he realized that it was a woman walking towards them. He called out to the others, "Hey, look over there, a woman is coming!"The others stopped what they were doing and turned to see for themselves. They chuckled amongst themselves, joking about who the woman might be and whose type she might be."Maybe she's into tall, dark, and handsome," one of them said, eliciting a round of laughter from the group."Or maybe she's into strong, silent types," another chimed in, earning a few nods of agreement.She appeared to be weak and disoriented, barely able to stand on her own two feet. Her movements were slow and unsteady, as if every step required all of her strength.Her hair was disheveled and fell messily around her face, which was pale and contorted in pain. Her dress was torn in several places, and blood had soaked t
