Chapter Fourteen
“There has to be something else in there.” Charise snapped pacing the room. “Any other passage explaining how to counter their attacks.”
“No, I scanned the pages and there isn’t anything in it.” Chase said quietly.
Chase and Charise had been arguing like that for the past hour. Elaina too numb to say anything just let their words drift in and out of her consciousness.
If she could push away the shock she would honestly say that she was pretty proud of Charise. Of all people she hadn’t expected her to be the one that wouldn’t give up and would want to find a way to fight back and destroy the enemy.
“I refuse to accept this.” Charise snapped. “It is just a stupid book, only reality can determine what will really happen.”
“The elders wrote that book.” Chase pointed out. “They have that mystical power thing going for them

Elaina stared out the window at the hills and farmlands that passed by. So far they had been on the road for five hours and still not a single town in sight.Chase had insisted he had known where he was going since he had travelled to the other temples before. Never being out of her own town Elaina had to take his word for it since she didn’t know the way. Neither she nor Chase had said anything since starting off. So many questions lay restless in Elaina’s mind, but she just couldn’t bring herself to wonder them aloud. Chase had been nice enough not to try to start conversation, instead he was content in leaving her to her thoughts.Stars blazed brightly overhead, all them easy to see without the lights of the city blocking them out. Elaina remembered being a child and laying in the woods while camping out, staring up at the night sky and thinking how small she felt staring at the un

Later Elaina and Chase sat on the hood of the car watching as the remains of the burlack beasts burned before them.Elaina’s leg throbbed but she tried to ignore it, instead she looked to Chase who still looked green in the face. She was pretty sure that he was going to end up throwing up at some point, but he just stared ahead stoically. Since stitching her leg up he had refused to look at her and she was beginning to wonder if his little crush on her was finally gone. A twinge of disappointment tugged at her, but she insisted that it was for the best.A crackling sounded from the fire as the flames burst brighter, swirls of green and purple overtaking the whole thing. Elaina had never seen anything like it.The flames roared loudly and Elaina found herself sweating from the heat.Then just as quickly as it happened it was over, nothing left now except a small smolder.Elaina looked to Chase now who was stil

Elaina emerged from the bathroom steam flowing out in puffs. She had nothing but a soft white bathrobe wrapped around her, her hair hanging flat around her shoulders. Chase who had gone three days without sleeping snored lightly on the couch. He still had on his dirty clothes and shoes. A book sat open in his lap. Shaking her head Elaina crept into the bedroom closing the door behind her.Alone she sat down on the bed and examined the room around her. The sea green walls held pictures of the ocean, waves crashing onto shore, lightening flashing a lighthouse, all seemingly ordinary things along the coast.The sound of movement in the living room caught her attention. Standing she snuck a peek, Chase must have moved and knocked the book he was holding onto the ground. Sighing Elaina shut the door again and laid down, exhaustion finally claiming her. The last thought running through her head as

Elaina didn’t know exactly how to get back to the Northern temple, but she drove letting her instincts tell her where to go. On and on she drove taking no notice to anything passing by her. Night turned into day and then day turned back into night. Adrenaline pumping she continued to push forward. The only thing keeping her going was her need to make sure that there was still time to save everyone that meant the most to her.Only stopping long enough to fill up on gas she arrived in familiar territory early on the second day. She pushed her car for all it was worth urging it to go faster even knowing that it couldn’t.Finally she reached her destination, skidding to a stop she took in the scene before her. No longer stood the temple of the white, instead flames roared towards the sky. People ran in horror trying their best to alert anyone who didn’t already know.Elaina jumped ou
Elaina The Warrior Chapter Nineteen
The death toll from Rathial’s attack was great claiming the lives of over two hundred warriors and all the monks including Brother Benjamin who had been ambushed by a Serpent beast while trying to hide. Most of the older warriors spent the next day building pillars to burn the bodies of the warriors that hadn’t been claimed by the fire. It was a tedious task piling up the kindling taking up most of the day.They worked fast to ensure that the pillars would be set ablaze at sunset, a proper warrior send off. Whoever wasn’t busy cleaning bodies and building pillars searched slowly through the remains of the sanctuary trying to see if they could find anything remaining of their possessions.Elaina sat alone underneath a tree watching as people moved about. Charise sat close beside her clutching her hand.“It’s almost like watching a movie isn’t it?” Charise asked quietly now her gaze

Oliver sent word to the Brothers from the West and South the next morning hoping it would get to all of them in time. He explained to all about the attack and Rathial’s warning. After sending off his letters he made plans to visit the elders personally.Samantha hadn’t been happy about the idea wanting her family to stay together through this, but in the end rationale won out over emotion. Elaina watched numbly as they had a teary good bye, Samantha standing in the road for a long time watching as Oliver drove off.Plans had been made to stay underground in a secret facility built specifically for emergencies. Brother Benjamin had managed to tell Samantha where to find it before his death.Digging around in the rubble left over from the fire they were able to find the secret hatch. Musty air greeted them as they descended down stairs so old they felt like they could collapse at any minute. T
Elaina The Warrior Chapter Twenty One
Elaina stood in the middle of a square, all the buildings around her burned fiercely. Above burlack beasts in troves let out heart wrenching cries. People ran screaming as the beasts dove towards them. Too shocked to move Elaina watched as the beasts ripped at the innocents. A scream threatened to leave her throat, but it would not come. Up ahead she could see a wall of shadow, slowly making its way towards her.Drawing her sword she readied herself for the attack. The wall moved slowly taking its time to torture her. More flames blazed around her lighting the faces of the duio warriors that were coming. All their faces seemed to be grey and slowly decaying, some having holes in their cheeks and jaws, bone showing through. Their mouths hung open revealing rotted teeth. Their eyes stared blankly ahead, glazed over and unseeing.Bile rose in Elaina’s throat a

Elaina spent most of the day in her room, mainly because there was nothing else to do. Another part of it being she was trying to avoid Chase. After she finished her meal with Charise and Samantha she hurried away without explanation. As she sat alone she continued to try to sort through exactly what she would say to Chase when the time came. She liked him more than she wanted to admit to herself and knew that it would hurt to tell him that she couldn’t be with him in the way he was wanting. She knew he would try to fight it and didn’t know if she was strong enough to not let him convince her. Charise had stopped by only once to ask if she wanted to practice hand to hand in the small dojo of their hideout, but Elaina had declined saying that she wasn’t feeling well. Charise hadn’t pushed it, which was really nice of her and left shortly after.Along with the Chase situation she w
