Chapter 8: Safety and more lies

Evanara

My hands were tied up to a large log which had two other logs holding it down to the ground at both sides. Beneath me, the Everlasting flames burned with furious intensity. Just as its name implied,the fire never died down. That was not the only unique thing about the fire. It was green.

Sweat trickled down from my forehead as perspiration took place. My vision blurred as I lifted my eyes from the beautiful fire and I noticed the crowd had grown even bigger that it was a few seconds ago. It seemed like all of Avalor was here to watch while I burned away. I was indeed honoured.

Amidst the crowd,I sighted Sir Gilbert. Adrienne was not there with him...but I sighted Lady Agatha, his wife, who smirked at me.

I looked at Sir Gilbert once again whose eyes were soft and beseeching.

I arced a brow in question. He simply closed his eyes and nodded and relief washed over me. Kevan was alright. If the flames underneath me would not take my life,I would like to see him.
