Chapter 58
It had been months since the king, her husband, left the kingdom; and months since she was sober. When she heard of the king's departure, she almost celebrated in front of the entire kingdom. She was finally free of the torture that was their marriage, free to leave at her own will; or at least that is what she had thought. He wasn't a bad person to her, but there was no love in the marriage. He had given her everything and would never say no to her for anything materialistic. But she was young and beautiful and craved the romance that they write about in love songs and poems.
In the initial days of her husband's departure, she had asked to be relieved of her duties as a qu

Aurum stood in a house situated in the middle of the capital of the kingdom that now belonged to the witch, Flee, his wife. The house was in a busy area where it was always noisy. He was hiding her in plain sight. Flee closed the door once Aurum entered and then shut the windows and covered them with drapes."How is the house?" he asked. "Do you like everything?"She come closer to him and gave him a loving kiss on the cheek."It is more than I could have asked for."Aurum looked at his other half, the perfect partner, and the perfect partner incrime. He had been carefully orchestrating his plan for years and once he fell in love with Flee, he knew she would be the key to his plan. He caressed her cheek and pushed the stray strand behind her ear."It would have all worked out, but he is a problem," he whispered. "They believe in him, say he is not like his father."Flee placed her hands on his shoulders."They just need

Willow stepped out of the shower and wore the same black clothes that had become like a uniform to her. After drying her hair, she tied it into a high ponytail and left her room. She walked down the dark hallway. Only dim lamps were allowed in the building and those lamps were placed in all the rooms. The only well-lit area was the basement. The rest of the building remained in the darkness at night. Members of the organization had to rely on moonlight or had to memorize the floor plan and count their steps. Willow knew exactly where to go, and once she reached, she knocked on the door. "It's open," said the voice from inside. She twisted the doorknob and pushed it open to find Felicity sitting on the bed. Her room was identical to Willow's. Small with minimal furniture and an attached bathroom. "Willow!" Felicity immediately jumped out of bed and wrapped her arms around her for a quick hug. "I am so glad you're here." Willow cleared her throa

Ava walked down the hallways of the palace wearing a dark purple cloak and hood that obscured her face. Although Rus walking behind her was a dead giveaway of her identity. The light of the palace had been dimmed and only fire torches lit up the hallways."At least cover your face!" she whisper-yelled looking back at Rus.His shoulders sagged in defeat as he removed a handkerchief from his pocket and tied it around his face over the nose. The two discreetly walked with light steps until they reached the basement of the palace where there were no guards stationed outside."That's odd," Rus said. "There should've been two guards here. Maybe whatever they were guarding isn't here anymore. We're chasing a dead end.""If that's true then we have missed an opportunity," she said opening the metal door in the basement and stepping further down. "It is pitch black in here," she whispered looking at him. "Do you have a flashlight?""No, but..." he said sear

Willow and Luke stood in his apartment in front of the guest bedroom door in anticipation. She had performed the spell, however, given her lack of experience, she was nervous to open the door. "Do you want me to do it?" Luke asked. "No," she said firmly before twisting the knob. She pushed it open and they were greeted with the sight of a spare room that had junk stored in it. By the walls, they could tell that it was a wooden house. "Did you do it right?" he asked. "Maybe you messed up the spell." "I did not mess up the spell." She walked inside the room and Luke followed. The room was small with only a window on the left wall that did not have any curtains. There were boxes kept on one side, two tables on top of each other, cloth bags placed in the space between the tables, and a cupboard in another corner. Whoever turned this into a storage room was still organized with it. Willow closed the door through which they had enter

Wes had stayed in the neighboring kingdom for exactly two hours and twenty-three minutes even though the king was overly generous to him, Ava, and Rus, and offered them temporary shelter at the palace. "My daughter feels indebted to you for not marrying her," the king had laughingly said to him. "Yes, she might have been saddened by the broken engagement but she loves her freedom too much, and that stable boy." "And you are okay with it?" Wes asked as they walked into the gardens. "The stable boy?" the king replied quizzically. "I had disapproved of him for a long time but he is a nice young man. He would take better care of my daughter than you ever could." "I don't doubt that." They walked away from the square-cut bush with yellow flowers blooming from it and turned toward the palace. "So," the king paused to look at him, "what is it that you want from me?" "I need to urgently go to a place where I am not allowed to be. Can y

The sky above the palace of Corlyn was dark, starry, and cloudless. Ava stood by the window of the guest room that was much smaller than her room at the palace of Vilaria. The space had minimal furniture: a bed, a vanity table, a small closet, a sofa, and a coffee table.Ava twisted the fabric of the curtain between her fingers as she looked at the main gates of the palace, where guards stood in attention all night."This is exactly what I tried to escape, and this is exactly where we ended up," she sighed. "Another palace."Rus looked at her from the sofa chair, feeling sympathetic. He had been given the room beside hers, but he didn't want to leave her alone.There was a knock at the door. Ava turned around to look at Rus and then back at the door. Whoever was on the other side did not wait for a response as the door flew open."Princess!" Ava said coming to stand near Rus who was now standing out of respect too.Princess Raya hastily rush

The sun had risen on the horizon, illuminating the green forest. Willow and Wes walked in silence for the rest of the way until they reached the top of the hill, from where the organization building was partially visible. "Wait here," she said to him before second-guessing her decision. "No," she shook her head, "come with me." "Why don't you want to leave me here? Do you not trust me?" "No, I don't. If anyone from the organization sees you they won't hesitate to kill you, or you will kill them. Neither of the outcomes is favorable," she said monotonously. She walked down the hill and looked back to see him. "Now," she stated, "follow my exact steps. Do not stray." "Why?" He asked, but she had already started walking towards the building. "Not everybody can enter the organization." He saw her footprints and matched his steps to them. She then took him to the side of the building and looked up. "That's my

"A human was caught near the palace," a soldier said to Aurum, who sat on the throne inside the palace of Vilaria. He was dressed in long black robes with gold embroidery and long sleeves. "He claims to know the location of the human organization and is willing to pass it on for the right price." Aurum gestured for the soldier to bring him in. A minute later, the heavy doors to the throne room opened and Dain walked in. When he saw the mage sitting on the throne, he immediately kneeled and bowed his head. Aurum looked pleased. "Rise," he said looking at the human. "What do you know? And spare no detail." Dain shared the exact location of the organization. "How do I know you're telling the truth?" Aurum asked. "I wouldn't have risked my life to come here if it wasn't for the truth." "And why are you selling your comrades?" "They are not my comrades, sir," he spat. "They are delusional people who think they can wi
