A STOREHOUSE OF POWER

Chapter 62The mage led Germaine deep into the forest, to a section that was completely secluded from prying eyes. It was a place one would not willingly go except one stumbled upon it. Here, silence reigned, but to Germaine, it wasn't an eerie silence but a peaceful one. The air was still and there was no malevolent presence hovering around waiting to pounce at the slightest opportunity.It was just. . . peaceful.She sighed happily and closely watched the mage as he sat on the bare moist earth and folded his legs underneath him close to his body. She tried to copy his pose, but her limbs did not seem to want to fold in. She didn't understand why because she was flexible and had sat in this same posture before back on earth. She had even watched a two-hour film in the same posture without feeling any cramps. Now, she could not even fold one leg on top of the other.It seemed the mage could sense her struggl

ĮLÆDÙN

Chapter 63Lady Lucia looked at the man that had turned her into a vampire and involuntarily shuddered. Rage stood staring at her with a smirk on his face. His midnight black eyes were so intent and probing, she knew with the flick of his iris, he could cause her infinite pain. On either side of him were his vanquishers, ugly-looking beasts with battle scars covering their bare chests, and hands almost gracing the floor.Behind Rage, someone stood in his shadow. Lady Lucia frowned and squinted her eyes, waiting for the moment he would move. He had to at some point, right? After all, he was not a statue. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed the other Mages's heads were lowered and her gaze moved the man in the shadow back to Rage.She watched as the smile slowly wiped away from his face and one of his brows rose. She read his silent message clearly. Do you have anything against me becoming the leader of

WHATEVER IT TAKES

Chapter 64Ever since that first day in the forest, the mage took Germaine back to the forest again, and again. Every day she went, she felt herself become stronger and more aware of her surroundings. She still had not come into any of the powers she was purported to have, and this made her impatient.She blew out some hair tendrils in front of her eyes that had slipped away from the bun on the top of her head. "This isn't working, mage, I'm sick and tired of coming here every day, and yet, nothing is happening."It was the fifth day they were in the forest, almost a week of the mage trying to coerce her powers out of her, but nothing seemed to have worked. Every day, he would surround runes of different sizes all around her as well as give some to her to hold. The mage would tell her to close her eyes and empty her mind of everything except to concentrate on her breathing. She would breathe in deeply throug

FULL POTENTIAL

Chapter 65"Now, my lady, concentrate on the stone in front of you. Imagine it as an opponent, and no - you are not angry - you just want to incapacitate the opponent in order for you to get him, or her, out of your way."Germaine nodded and looked at the large stone on the ground a short distance from her. She felt the impatience slither upward her spine, like a snake, but she pushed it down. Yes, it had been a week since the last time she cut some of the trees in half, with her powers, but since then, they had become dormant.Nothing she did since then had worked. It was like she was powerless. She sighed as she closed her eyes and removed all forms of distractions from her mind. She concentrated instead on the stone. As she did, she felt something unfurl inside of her. At first, it was sluggish, but she willed it, like a scared dog or cat being coaxed from its hiding place. As she did, she felt a buzzing

THE SPELL

Chapter 66Lady Lucia looked in awe and fear at Īlædúñ, her mouth unknowingly opening as she stared at the mythical creature she had read so much about.As if sensing eyes on him, Íłædùñ's eyes snapped to her, and his eyes glowed amber, and then a bright luminescent blue before settling to a dull red. From one heartbeat to the next, he had moved away from the light and back into the shadows behind Rage, away from Lady Lucia's piercing gaze.She blinked, confused at what had just taken place.Was she really seeing him?Was he really here or just a figment of her imagination?When she blinked and looked behind Rage, no one stood there, yet she could feel his malevolent gaze on her as well as the magical energy he still weaved, riding heavy in the atmosphere and over all of them."Lucia!" Her name was called, as if from far away and she blinked, her sluggish brain trying to decipher what was happening. She finally

SOMETHING, NOT GOOD

Chapter 67Germaine's heartbeat sped up as she jerked up from the bed. She blinked furiously, almost doubting what she had heard.Keratin? Was that you?At first, there was nothing but an uneasy silence, and then she heard through her mind, a loud gasp.My love? My love, is that really you? Germaine, please answer me.Tears filled Germaine's eyes as she let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, she could hear him. She could hear Keratin. She cleaned the tears from her face and laid back on the bed and with a blissful smile, curled up.Yes, Keratin, it's me. I'm here, I'm very much here for you.She heard a choking sound as if he was trying not to cry, but she couldn't be sure.Thank the moon goddess you are safe. I knew it, I knew you were still alive and would not leave me, I just knew it. What happened to you? Where are you? Please tell me.Germaine smiled wider before replying to him. One of Rage's men took

A TRUCE

Chapter 68Screams echoed all around, ricocheting off the glass walls until it seemed as if they had embedded themselves inside her head like claws and refused to let go. Lady Lucia clamped her hands over her ears to try and block out the noise but it was pointless.All around, the Mages went about their business as if nothing was happening, as if a poor girl somewhere within the castle was not being fed upon. As a matter of fact, gaiety was the order of the day as laughter rang out clearly amongst the Mages who stood in small groups, talking animatedly amongst themselves.Lady Lucia huddled in a corner at first, as if by some stroke of luck, the walls could swallow her up and she would disappear. When the screams only grew louder and it seemed the Mages would continue to turn a blind eye to them, she stood on shaky legs and walked out of the hall. On instinct, she made her way to the garden, drinking in the

THE RECKONING

Chapter 70Germaine's breath whooshed out of her as she stood staring at the mage. "Wh. . . what do you mean?"The mage shook his head and looked at her with a solemn gaze. "Magic, my lady, magic that someone has used on you. My guess is that-""I don't want guesses, mage, I want facts, I want-"The mage held up his hand in the air and she fell silent, watching in confusion as he rushed from the sitting room. It took only a few seconds, and he returned holding a particularly large colorless rune in his hand."Hold this, my lady." He said to her."But. . . why? What do you hope to achieve?"He let loose an impatient sigh. "This rune can show if you have somehow been tainted with magic that is not part of you."Germaine's brows pinched. She did not understand a word of what the mage had just said but she knew it was better she did as he said, after all, she owed the release of her magic to him. She reached out

THE LOA

Chapter 71Every instinct in her body told her to turn around and run, but there was a part of her, a small part that wanted her to face whatever had made that roaring noise.Eyes wide with terror, Ennie jumped up from the ground and grabbed a hold of Germaine's hand, tiredness, a thing of the past. "We have to go now, my lady, please."But Germaine knew walking away would be tantamount to cowardice, and after all, she had her powers now so she could easily use them on whatever creature was approaching. It seemed Ennie saw the look in her eyes because she shook her head back and forth frantically, her hair whipping around her face in the process."No! You can not, you just cannot fight whatever it is, please, we have to go now!"Perhaps it was the desperate tone in her words that made Germaine begin to run again. No matter how you looked at it, she was but a fledgling, after all, still trying to navigate her wa

CALLING FORTH

Chapter 72Even the one meant to redeem and unify the various realms began to get tired at a point.Tiredness seeped into Germaine's body but she continued to relentlessly push herself to the limit as she ran, giving herself no time to think or ponder on anything except to get to safety.But that was the issue - where would she go to be safe?When she was thrown into the sea, the mage saved her, but now where were he and his wife?Where was she even to go from here on?The questions went around and around her head like a loop not giving her a moment's respite. Her mind drifted to her discussion with Keratin and she realized with a jolt that now more than ever, she needed to know where the forest of the goblins was.For all she knew, she had already passed it. Ennie's ragged breathing had begun to feel like a drive for her to keep moving, instead, she forced herself to slow down and wait for her to catch up wit
