The Other Side of the Coin

On a day before the contact with Ethan was made and the young mages departed from the camp: "I have something to discuss with you." With his chin held high and chest puffed out Frey almost seemed to look down on Nathaniel as he blocked the path to the tents. The fire of defiance in Frey's eyes showed that he still mistrusted the other, yet he would not back down until he got what he wanted. "Sure." Frey blinked, obviously surprised by Nathaniel's fast approval. He was not used to adults who listened to him. For a second, his demeanor faltered, then he gritted his teeth. "Don't think I trust you just because Lady Katherine says you're good and you freed us from that torture house. I know you have ulterior motives, just like the organization. You want to use my siblings for your war, right? You want to attack the organization but from what I see you have way too few men for that. Nobles are all the same! You want to exploit my sibling's magic too, right?" Nath

Meeting Ve

Katherine had no leisure to turn around and look out for whatever brought that darkness. She could just pray in her heart that the screams of war and battle were not from her own comrades or Nathaniel while gasping for air. The pain in her belly was sharp like a knife, slicing into her and disrupting all coherent thought. Perspiration collected on her forehead and she could not comprehend how this pain should be something normal in early pregnancy. How could her baby survive that? Was the field doc a quack in reality? The horse below her did not slow down, and the tremor only worsened the pain. She already felt her power flicker to life, and desperately tried to keep it at bay. Then suddenly, just as abruptly as it began, the pain vanished. It left her heaving and exhausted in the arms of her enemy. For a few seconds, Katherine did nothing but that, her eyes closed, and her body slumped like a boneless puppet. Very slowly, her awareness of the surroundings returned. T

Right Into Hell

Why does every battlefield I enter turn into a massacre? Nathaniel wondered bitterly when he gazed at his surroundings. The tides of battle had changed with the appearance of his magic power. Well, if one could still call it his. The black magic did not heed any of his commands, regardless of its origin. The only upside was that it did not appear to be on the army's side either, as it just swooped in here and there to eat a few men from both sides. The soldiers were terrified. This was a foe they could not defeat with weapons. If the dark magic picked them, they could do nothing but be obediently eaten.Still, Nathaniel had noticed that the black power didn't dare come too close to him, so he kept his own soldiers closer. If it was as greedy as usual, Blacky would've turned the battlefield into a swamp of death already. Yet it seemed changed somehow. One change was that it was wary, and Nathaniel could guess why: it was afraid to touch its former host, afraid to find out if Nat

Inhuman

The leader of the organization was not the old, scrawny creep Katherine imagined. In fact, he seemed to be of similar age as her parents and King William, though much better preserved than the latter. With an upright stance and fit figure, he appeared to be a handsome gentleman if one didn't know better.The strands of grey in Ve's reddish-brown hair were few and added sternness to his cold grey eyes. Eyes, that inspected Katherine with a certain curiosity, like she was an insect under a magnifying glass. As if she was not even human.The chill that ran down Katherine's back only sufficed to straighten her spine. She returned the gaze with all her disgust for this person fueling the arrogance she learned in her noble upbringing. She was unwilling to succumb to someone on the lowest step of humanity's staircase, no, someone who had already fallen from said staircase! Only a demon could order experiments on Babys! Pushing herself up like this, Katherine clicked her tongue co

A Godly Being

Slowly, Katherine drew a step back diagonally, then another until she could feel something hard behind her. The cave's wall was cold and rough, but for now, it was the only support she had. It seemed quite sturdy. Hastily, she glanced at Loki's leader. He wasn't closer than before, his arms still crossed behind his back, seemingly watching the scene with mild interest. At least for now, he appeared to have no ambition to involve himself. Good.Focusing on her cousin again, Katherine noticed with a start that he'd stepped closer. The researcher in her grip also struggled weakly, huffing and puffing in pain. Right, she suddenly realized, though he is in my hands, he's no hostage so long as I can't threaten his life. And even then, would someone here care enough to stop? Especially Ethan? Ridiculous. What can I do? I need to buy time to think! Talk to them! Try to bargain until I find a chance to flee!The first thing that came to her mind was still the same question and she

Jumping Down?

Secretly, Katherine rolled her eyes. The pretentious grandeur of this Ve was, in her view, plainly annoying. She couldn't understand why people followed him at all. However, it was better to let him go on and on about his research because that would stop him from actually conducting it. So, she forced a smile. "A godly being from another plain? Like the phoenix god?""Oh, no, no, no." For the first time, she heard Ve laugh, a laugh full of disdain as if she was a dumb little child. "Of course not. The phoenix is just fiction, an imaginative construct for the weak-minded crowd. The godly being I met is much more real - it isn't omnipotent or benevolent, of course. The thought of an omnipotent entity that saves us all is plainly ridiculous, in a scientific sense. No. I call it godly only because of the deathly power it possesses and the fact that, though it can think and communicate, it isn't human. It is from another plain, not from this world."Gazing at Katherine's face,

The Black Mass

The ladder creaked ominously under Katherine's hands. Despite Ve and Ethan watching from above, she climbed as slow as a slug, her mind churning. What could she do? What would they do? What would happen if she reached the dark mass? What did Ve want to archive? Could there be another cave further down this rift, one useful for escape? But what then?Her head hurt, yet she found no answers. All she knew was that she wanted her baby to live - and thus, had to live herself. Survive.A cold wind blew in the canyon, unobstructed by the walls that were smooth and flat like paper. Their earthen color was smeared with some kind of soot, turning darker the further she climbed down. Katherine wondered if there had been a fire below before it was flooded by this black mass, but if that was true, the fire would've had to be gigantic. All she could see from the opposite wall of the canyon was equally as smooth and charred as her side. Almost as if the canyon was molten into the mountai

Stone, Metal, or Magic

The last rope gave up under the edge of a guard's sword, and the black mass opened like a giant maw when Katherine fell. A scream of rage and fear cut through the still air at dusk. Then the darkness closed around her body as inevitably as the sun was swallowed by the night. Yet her fate was much more final. A second later, the darkness rested still and serene like an undisturbed lake again. Not a sign, not a sound of the person inside.Squatting on the edge of the cavern with his arms resting on his knees, hands hanging down, Ethan hummed a little melody. It was hauntingly beautiful, the remnant of a falling family that turned into cannibalistic monsters. The Bale Ballard was known far and wide for its tale of sadness and cruelty of life.Reaching the last verses dedicated to the children of the executed evil, Ethan opened his mouth to sing in a melodious whisper. "... and did you hear the rumor that flesh they eat again? And did you hear the rumor that flesh they eat aga

Pain and Fear

Though it seemed tangible, the darkness did nothing to cushion Katherine's fall. Her body bounced off the narrowing walls once, then twice, rendering her red and blue even before she hit the ground with a dull thud and lost consciousness.The dark world was illuminated by a slight glow when an agonizing pain shook her awake again seconds later. She squirmed. While her whole body pulsed numbly and her head swam, her stomach seemed to burn with white-hot flames. A gasp escaped her throat. She tried to clutch her belly, only for more pain to shoot up her left arm. It was buried under her hip at a strange angle, vastly unresponsive but agonizingly present. Though the right arm moved naturally, the pain and helplessness brought tears to Katherine's eyes. "Not again, please not again..."The darkness above her suddenly seemed to grow wolf maws, feral growls sounding over the tearing of flesh. The memories which she thought she'd locked away, resurfaced together with the pain. He

Keep Breathing

The air was running low. Nathaniel only realized it when his own thoughts slowed down and more and more of his soldiers had trouble walking upright. They gasped and shuddered at the slightest activity. Like now, only from walking with the usual weight of their weapons and leather armor. They had lost another one to the darkness recently, yet the black tide seemed unwilling to abate anytime soon. Was the compass leading them astray or did the darkness follow their steps?As the pessimist he was, Nathaniel reckoned it was the second option. The darkness would not care about his people, but it probably tried to wear him down by all means possible. If it intentionally blocked the airway or not - Nathaniel had a hunch that the darkness would not let him leave its clutches, now, that he descended into them willingly. It would follow him around everywhere he went. And that meant, he would be responsible for all his soldier's death in the end. They would die instantly if they wandered
