Blaze pov
"Good morning, birthday girl!" I said, kissing her forehead. She opened her eyes and looked at me with love. Then get up and kiss my cheek.
"Good morning, my love!"
Yesterday after we met the warriors, we went straight to our room. Evolet is still feeling a bit dizzy. So we got to bed and slept till now. It was 9 in the morning.
"It seems like we missed breakfast, little flower! I'll bring something for us to eat while you take a shower! The party starts at 4, so you should have enough time to prepare." I said, pulling some shorts and a t-shirt on.
"Thank you, Blaze! Thank you so much for being like this!So understanding an
Blaze pov"Evolet...your eyes...your eyes are purple! Amaya said. I still couldn't believe it...I was looking at the purple eyes..the eyes that I've dreamed about so many times."Again?!" Oren's voice."What do you mean 'again'?" I ask."Umm...this happened before. A few months ago.When she woke up from one of her nightmares.""Blaze? What's going on? It's everything alright?" Titus asked."Yeah...You know about the dreams I used to have before I met Evolet, right?" He nodded. Then he looked at her eyes.
We get to our room, and I slump on the bed while Blaze takes a shower.I remember the last part from the book.The part I didn't read aloud. I didn't want them to know about what could happen.I grab the book and reread it. There should be something else.As much as the Aether is a gift from God, it is also a curse. The Aether herself will be more powerful than the Gods. But she will suffer a significant loss. A loss that will eventually kill her.Tears were streaming down my face. I wipe them away, thinking about what I read. A significant loss and death are not what I wanted. There must be something else. There must be.
Evolet povWe let Willow and Titus talk alone and went to the kitchen.My parents, Oren and Amaya, were already there."Good morning!" I said and took a seat next to Amaya and Blaze, the one next to me."Good morning!" They all said.Just then, the door opened."Happy birthday!" I hear, and I look to see my grandparents, Farys and Enya."Oh my God! Guys, I didn't think you'd make it!" I said, getting up and hugging them.We sat down and ate while talking and laughing. Willow an
Blaze pov(Warning: mature content!)I stayed in my office till around midnight. I put the dagger into a locked box under my desk. And I finally decided to go to bed.The truth is I missed Evolet so much.I get to my room, opening the door slowly, thinking that maybe she's sleeping. But to my surprise, she was sitting by the window, looking at the starry sky. She wore a knee-length nightdress. It looks so good on her."Blaze!" She said when she noticed meShe came running and jumped into my arms!"I missed you so much, Blaze! I'm so sorry! I couldn't react any di
Evolet pov.Today is Willow's ceremony! The day she will become a Fire elemental. And that day I'll go to the Water Kingdom."Evolet? Do you hear me?" I looked at Willow, who was shaking my shoulders. I must have been too focused on my thoughts that I hadn't seen or heard her."Mmm...yeah! I'm sorry! I was thinking about today! It's a big day. I am trying to hide the worry from my heart. I want to say I'm afraid. I'm terrified about confronting Aalto on my own. Amaya will be with me, of course, but even if she trained so much, we both know she's not a fighter."Yes, it is! But honestly, I can't wait for it to finish. I'm already so tired!"
Evolet povWe've been riding for six hours through the forest. Fortunately, no one noticed us at the border. Blaze should have figured it out long ago that I'm missing. I know he'll try to find me. I hope there will be enough time to kill Aalto before Blaze finds me.My heart was aching, being so far away from him. But this was the only way. The only chance I've got to stop this war without losing the one I love most."We should stop and rest for a while. There's a river nearby. We can stop there and let the horses drink some water." Amaya said, slowing down.
Blaze povI remember Evolet saying she's going to change. But it's been more than an hour, and I can't see her anywhere."Willow? Have you seen Evolet anywhere?""Mmm...no! The last time I saw her, she was going to her room. Is everything alright?" She asked, worried."Yes, no worries! Maybe she's asleep. She didn't sleep well last night." I said, hoping she was in bed.I made my way to our room, but it was empty."Where is she?" I asked no one in particular."Blaze! Blaze!" I turn around to see Kano.&n
Blaze pov.We were near the palace gates. I lift my hand for everyone to stop so that I can take in our surroundings. "Wait! We need to take down those five warriors! Quietly!""I'm on it! They won't expect to see me! Everyone thinks that their prince is dead! I can create a distraction long enough for you to go unnoticed.""That's a good idea, Kano!"He then heads to the gates. I could see the surprised warriors trying to figure out how it is possible for their prince to be alive.I get close to them. Careful not to make any sound. I snap the neck of the first warrior, then punch another in the chin, sending him on the floor, unconscious. Kano froze tw
