Lose Everything

"We'll take it!", the merchant shouted excitedly, before turning to Katherine and correcting himself hastily. "I mean, we'll make it! The bet! Make it now!""Very well", Katherine grinned, glancing at the wife for a second, before turning to the daughter. "Then I'll begin now. Don't forget to follow up your words."The merchant snorted. He was absolutely sure there didn't exist a person who could make his daughter healthy again in only an hour. The gold pile was as good as his! Why else would that other girl throw him chilling glares? She most likely knew that this young doctor or whatever she was, made a big mistake when placing the bet. He gave her a triumphant smile.Her face darkening, Hazel turned away from the blasphemer. Outrageous! How could he even think about winning against her goddess!The wife of the merchant pulled at her husband's arm softly, whispering: "Darling, do you really think this is the right choice? Why should she initiate a bet i

Terms

The first daughter of the merchant - the last to leave the tent when Katherine began to cut the flesh off - showed Katherine to the other injured. Of course, she didn't know yet about the bet, as her father was still unconsciousness. It didn't take long to heal everyone. The other injuries were not half as serve as the leg of the second daughter. Still, there were some who wouldn't have healed seamlessly without her magic, so the people were actually quite thankful after they overcame the astonishment about her skill. That was one of the reasons she didn't dare to leave Hazel alone with the patients. Or else, who knew how big her cult would be already?While doing her work, Katherine noticed that no-one seemed to be respectful of the merchant they claimed to be their leader. Instead, they all spoke highly of his wife. It seemed like she was the real spiritual leader. The one who held them together. That matched what Katherine had seen so far. The wife hadn't been blinded by t

What Happened?

Only when the sun nearly reached the horizon did Katherine departed with her entourage. A while later, Pete murmured: "I didn't know you were this good at lying. You can't really do anything to the leg, right?"The lady's eyes glittered with a faint guilt. "Nope. But they don't know that."Not noticing her awkwardness, Jack let out one of his roaring laughs. "Well done, well done!"Slowly, Pete nodded. "He is right. If they believe it or not, they won't dare to try it out as long as you don't get too overbearing. But your conditions are well within their possibilities for now.""That is because I want it to be a long-time cooperation. If I don't give them any benefits, they would try to back out of it. Maybe not now, but in the future.", Katherine explained when they reached the inn."Milady", Hazel suddenly said. She hadn't said much for a while now, so Katherine had been worried already."Yes?"Hazel had her hands folded on her ches

Surprises

It was ridiculous. How come she has so much power over me?, Nathaniel wondered. She just called his name but it felt like a fresh breeze gently blowing his anger away. If her enraged self mesmerized and provoked him, this soft call made him completely helpless in front of her. He didn't expect her to do this. No, he wanted her to shout and fight like she used to. This way he could have taken out his frustration on her. But why did she have to call him so sweetly...Feeling the sorrow in his chest multiplying, he walked out of the darkness step by step. Her call was like a bond pulling him closer, despite his unwillingness.His eyes were fixed on her face, noticing every little change in it. When she saw him, her soft, pink lips slightly parted, her breath hastening. In her bright, violet eyes lingered astonishment as if she didn't expect him to finally heed her call and come forward. He himself also didn't expect it. But here he was, riddling about why this soft call w

Sunday

When the earl reached his chambers, a disheveled Sam already waited in front of it. It was obvious that he was awoken out of deep slumber shortly before. He informed Nathaniel that what seemed to be a scout troop of the Renat kingdom had been sighted in the forest on their side of the border. The Renat's troops were moving faster than they expected."Double the patrols in the area. If we can catch them, it would be great. However, it will still take a few days for the army to cross the forest either way. In that time, the towns need to be evacuated. When everything is ready, we can start the next phase of the plan.""Yes, milord.", Sam nodded, and excused himself. The plan was moving faster and faster..On the next day, the sky was as gloomy as the earl's mood. The message that they didn't manage to catch the scouts only worsened it. At breakfast he deliberated why he asked her to come with him today. It was not like it was a pleasant thing to do. Maybe

Wronged

Neither the scream nor the push managed to shake Nathaniel out of his stupor. Here he thought the only thing he needed to care for was that she didn't touch his skin. How wrong he had been. He hadn't been prepared for this softness in his hands. Mind me, even though he found her mesmerizing and sweet, he always thought that she was a bit childish. Her chest, however, was anything but that. It was a big, mature ball of softness. Uncomparable to anything he'd touched before.Always buried in his work and knowing that he couldn't go further, he didn't seek the contact with woman. Though over time more and more woman tried to cling to him, he didn't touch any of them. It was partly out of the thinking that he might be tempted more if he did, and partly because none of them interested him.Now he was left in a stupor, because he suddenly realized that the last statement wasn't quite right anymore. He should have recognized it much sooner, yet he didn't. The fascination he h

Listening In

A wave of sadness washed over Katherine. So he was here to visit a grave. He should have told me, she thought. I wouldn't have bothered him then. After all, she knew what it felt like to loose people dear to her. And it was obvious the earl liked the person very much, otherwise he wouldn't visit the grave even after twenty-one years had passed.She deliberated if she should go back. She didn't want to interrupt his mourning. However, going back meant to go through the darkness alone when she knew there had been a murder case in here.Suddenly, his voice sounded out again, and she stilled. Right, it might be shameless, but she was too curious what happened here. Who was this person to the earl? A friend? Family? A beloved?"You have always been a kind, forgiving person. I... can't picture you angry. But can you really forgive your murderer? And even if you can, I can't! I can't forgive... " He sounded so lost and lonely that Katherine felt the wish to go over and

Black History

She didn't hear it. She didn't. She didn't hear me. The words repeated in his mind, calming his anger and fear. Thank goodness, she still doesn't know about it.It was a relieve, but his heart still pulsed hard in his chest. What would he tell her if she knew? Would she ever see him as a good person again? Not that he was one... he absolutely wasn't.Regret filled him when he saw the marks he left on her fair skin. Her face was buried in his chest. He didn't want her to notice the relive in his expression so that she wouldn't get suspicious.Why did he even talk about it... it was long past. Maybe the regret just ran too deep. He tightened his arms around her soft body, searching comfort he didn't deserve. Although he knew it wasn't right to hide it from her, he feared her reaction.She would hate him. She would see him as a monster, even more than now. He was sure about it. After all... he was the one who killed his aunt.Yes. That was right. He k

Too Late

Drunken by their lust, the mercenaries forgot to close the door to the second cave. It didn't matter to them, as the boy would still need to bypass them all if he wanted to flee. And they were sure a child wouldn't get far on this lonely mountain.In the other cave, Nathaniel heard his aunt shout out loudly. "Please don't! Please don't! Don't touch me!"With a pained face, Nathaniel forced his body to stand up, using the wall as a support. He didn't want his aunt to hurt. He wanted to protect her. His uncle told him that a man needed to protect what he loved.After two steps, sweat soaked his forehead. One punch of a grown-up was already near the limit of what his small body could take. As if reacting to his pain, the blackness on his chest continued spreading.When he reached the door, he paused, afraid of what he might see. How did they hurt her? Why was she sobbing so badly? And there were some other weird noises. It sounded like slaps, only slower and

Slowly and Silently

Driven by it's never ending hunger, the darkness left it's home... and silently began eating. When the darkness fed on something, it didn't cause any pain. To be exact, people didn't feel anything when touched and eaten by it. It just destroyed them silently.As was with his aunt. She didn't notice the black point eating in her flesh, not even when it grew and grew. When it wandered up her arm as a black vein. All her attention was on her nephew, who had closed his eyes, his brows knitted.The darkness that had taken seven lives now, the darkness she feared instinctively and was still glad that it existed because it saved her, very slowly receded on the child's arms and neck."That's good.", she encouraged him. "Compress it more." She had an inkling what this darkness was, although she wasn't sure about it. It was so strange... different from what she knew. She had only seen ice-mages and a few fire- and wind-mages in her life. This darkness was too unusual. Cou
