60. Home is You

(Mateo) I still couldn't believe that Jace was dead. Just thinking about him was making me feel like I had somehow failed as a Prince, failed as his friend. He had been with me for a long time, and... I shook my head, trying hard not to think about how pale and blue he looked. After talking with mom and dad about Tymeria, and everything else, Vera and I walked to my room. She sighed as she sat down on the bed, arching her back. She looked weary and sad, too, and I knew losing Ezra was hard for her, as well. Even though he was a traitor, he was a friend. "He was more..." Shade growled. It was stupid to get jealous of a dead man. Shade shrugged. "Your mom looked so sad," she whispered, and I looked at her with a sigh. Her eyes were closed, and her head was tilted up. "Tymeria was her friend, or so she thought. And you look just as sad," I said as I walked towards her and pulled her towards me. "So many lives lost today. I- I didn't want this to happen. I know Ezra was on Orna's si

61. Finding

(Orna) I stilled. My eyes met the hard eyes of the woman walking in. The eyes were like gleaming metal, and there was no love lost in there. It had been a while since I had met her face to face. "I have trained you from the very first day for this, and still you failed me, Orna. You failed me. You failed all of us," she said in a voice that sounded disappointed. She was the only one I wanted to impress and her disappointment cut like a sharp knife. I felt like I had been hit in the stomach. I took a staggering step back as I looked at her. My mentor. She was what I had closer to a mother, and because of Vera... "Because of Vera," Kendra, my dragon snorted, tilting her head. "The girl is what? 18?" I could feel her derisiveness and disdain. "22," I said with a wince. She was just a little girl, a little girl I made from the very first moment I killed her mother. I molded her, I shaped her into the shapes I wanted. First with the help of Hegen, and then Ezra. I did everything I h

62. End of the trail

(Vera)My dad looked agitated and anxious as he kept telling me to find her, whoever she was.Who was she? And if she was real, why was she in Blackstone Hall?I called for the nurse when my dad kept muttering the same thing. She saw that he was too vexed and gave him a small dose of sedative to calm him down, and soon he fell asleep, but I couldn’t stop my thoughts from running in all the directions.He looked so old and weak. I pulled the blanket up before I walked back to the palace, thinking about the girl. His voice kept ringing inside my head over and over. I couldn't ignore the nagging suspicion in my gut. I had a feeling about who it might be.I didn’t know where I was going or what I was doing until I was standing in front of the guards.“Miss. Rhys? What are you doing here?” the guard asked me. “I want to go talk with Tymeria. Let me in.”“But the Prince…”“The Prince won’t mind. I have something important that I need to talk with her. Let me in, please,” I said in my most

63. Not a Pawn, but a Queen

(Vera) Arax and I searched for a long time around the shores and the river, but we didn’t find anyone. Her scent was too strong when we swooped down, but it wasn’t as potent when we reached the river. The water must have probably washed away her scent and her.With a deep sigh, I motioned Arax to go up. With Nova’s claws, she picked up the small rock where we found blood stains, and then Arax and I flew back to the palace.“What are we going to tell Blaine? I don’t think I have the strength to look into his eyes and tell him.” Nova looked agitated. I had no idea what I was going to tell him. I knew he missed her and losing Izza would hurt him. I just hoped he would be able to take the hurt and come out of it.When we reached the palace grounds, we quickly shifted behind the woods and dressed.“So, are you going to tell Blaine?”“I don’t know what I should tell him. She isn’t anywhere in the river, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t alive,” I said to Arax as he ran his fingers through h

64. Hope and traditions

(Vera) Caden looked at Blaine and then at Mateo, his face creasing in despair as he ran his finger's through his hair and tugged. "I really don't know anything, trust me. But she will know the answers to your questions."Blaine finally took his hands away, trying to calm down, but I could see the flicker of emotions in his eyes. He looked broken.Caden's words hung heavily in the air for a few minutes as we stood there in silence, contemplating our next move. Blaine and Mateo exchanged a quick glance before turning their attention back to Caden, their eyes, both green, but both so different from each other's narrowing at his face."She isn't going to tell us anything. We have been questioning her, but she barely tells us anything, except goading us," I said with a frown and Caden winced."I can try to talk with her?" Caden's eyes were questioning."It is worth a shot," Mateo said as he placed his hand on Blaine's arms, trying to calm him down, but Blaine was still snarling, his face

65. Heartbreaks

(Blaine) The anger inside me was like a roaring sea and I feared that it might destroy me, destroy everything in my path.I wanted to burn everything down. As Raek soared above the cloud, his massive wings flapping in a frenzied motion, I wanted to ask him to let out his anger.He felt agitated and restless too.Mateo's dragon, Shade, followed us close behind. I was grateful he was accompanying me. I knew I couldn't do this alone.I needed Mateo here with me. My eyes burned from the tears I didn't want to shed. Not yet. No. If I cried now, it would mean that she was no more. I didn't want to believe that.She was my best friend, and I made a mistake when I didn't look for her when she was first gone. I should have. This would stay with me, this immense guilt, all through my life, if she was really gone, and if we had absolute proof.I was so angry back then, but now, I regret my every decision, my every action. She didn't deserve that from me, her best friend.When she suddenly disap

66. Plan B

(Vera) My fingers trembled as Mateo grabbed the note from my hands.Blood. Lili's blood.Every bone in my body burned in rage. If I saw Orna now, she would die a painful death. I wouldn't spare her, not at all. Mateo growled as he finished reading the note."Monster," he said with a dark rumbling growl. "How can she play with a little girl?"Oh, yes, she would. She didn't have any qualms about using a little girl to succeed in her plans."Lili is another one of her pawns," I hissed. "Lili is the pawn she made to control me."Amyra and Mateo nodded."She is undoubtedly smart," Amyra said with a frown."She is. She has always been."Orna didn't decide to steal the crown out of nowhere. No, it wasn't random. Nothing she had done was random. Everything was moved in such a way that when we came to this place we were in right now, she would have the King, that she would be the one calling check mate.She didn't decide to send Ezra and Lili to me, just for the heck of it. No."She knew Lili

67. Ours

(Vera) I shook my head with a growl as I wiped my tears away. I was done crying. No. I wouldn't cry anymore. I would make Orna cry.Mateo had a troubled look on his face when the same guard ran towards us again."They are here," the guard said."Who is here?" Mateo asked as he looked at him."Lord and lady of the clan Red Thunder. Their family too."That made me look up. Mateo stood up and gave me his hand. "Let's go see now, okay? Don't jump to a conclusion before here and there."When we walked out, the queen also joined us. The queen hugged Arax's mother before she turned to his father."You can live here, Rosalie, Kenneth, as long as you want. I am so sorry you lost your home. We will bring them to justice."Rosalie Red, Arax and Marvis's mother looked at the queen, her eyes shining in gratefulness. "I know, Esmeralda. We are fine, thanks to Sun God. We are so sorry for my daughter's part in this.""She was only a young girl who had been brainwashed. I am sorry you lost her. Come

68. Child's Play

(Orna) "So Estrild said to Sabius, I will come back a million times, even after death. I will destroy everything you have built, and then Draconia will be mine. Her voice rang above the silence of the night. Sabius cut his fingers on the crown's sharp edge and looked at Estrild's vanishing figure. She wasn't really there, but he could feel the ice running through his body, despite the fire that was always burning inside him." I read from the book, and the girl grumbled under her breath, pushing her plate back. I ignored her as I turned the page. "With this blood and the last of my daughter's blood, I bind your daughters' powers to the crown. As long as the magic hums in the crown, as long as Azura's blood runs through the veins of her children, you will never get what you want."Estrild's laughter rang out as she watched her three daughters grabbing on to their stomachs. The pain in their eyes was evident. She felt their pain as if it was hers.""They deserve the pain," Lili said as

69. The Coronation

(Vera) "You look like a queen. You are a queen." Amyra said as she handed me a box full of accessories that looked like it would cost me a lifetime to pay for that. Oh, yeah, no, I could just steal some Euvens and pay them back in a blink."Oh bitch," Nova said with a smile.Faye and Bianca helped me with the necklaces and rings and bracelets. I was shining, and my heart was dancing. It looked beautiful. I looked beautiful."I am grateful to have met you when I was just sixteen. It was destiny, Vera. And I am grateful to Maseir for that one moment in my life that had gone right despite every bad thing," she said as she hugged me sideways and wiped her eyes. It made me want to cry too."Bitch, I am not going to go in front of everyone with black stain on my cheeks," I teased Faye and she let out a quick burst of laughter.Tatienna laughed as she handed me something. "This is what I gave Esmeralda when she become my son's queen. Now it is yours." It was a beautiful hairclip with emeral
