"I always use to admire you my dear. You where an...inspiration to us all. Your skill, your tact, your wisdom. But being away from your home has made you soft, weak. We warned you about making friends Aria. It would make you unreliable. Now you understand don't you? So I came to make an offer. We know where your hideout is, and I don't want any more bloodshed then their needs to be. We will leave your brother and comrades alone if you come quietly. If you don't, as soon as we subdue you, I will see to it personally that your brother suffers." I felt my fingers twitch against the hilt of the blade. I couldn't trust a damn word he said. I knew that he would say anything to get me to go willingly, because I was going to be a problem for them if I decided against them.
"Save your pretty words General. I can already assume you know what my answer is. But to save you some thought processing. Let me tell you to ki

"Aria, can you hear me? I need you to wake up." Drake's voice was soft yet soothing as my shoulders where slightly shook. I could feel my heart pound lightly in my chest just at his words. How disgusting that my body still reacted to him even though he was now the enemy. I would get to the bottom of this, right before I killed everyone of them. I let my hand slowly drag across the bed and to my thigh. I patted it slightly, looking for my blade. I came up with nothing and gritted my teeth. That's right, I dropped them back on the dirt path. I was even worse off now than I was with Aspin. I was completely disarmed now. "Aria, stop and listen to me-" I cut him off as I bolted upright in the bed and launched myself at him. My hands gripping his shoulders as I knocked him out of the chair he was sitting him. Surprise lit his dark blue eyes as I glared at him. Before I could roll off him or assess my surroundings, hands gripped my sh
Master's Secret Blood Dragons
"Blood Dragons?" I asked confused. I never heard of a blood dragon before. Why did they seem so terrified by this realization? What was it about a blood dragon that had them sitting in stunned silence? "Blood Dragons are a very rare breed. So rare and so powerful that other Dragon's even call them 'God amongst Dragons'. It is said the Blood Dragon's can use the blood of any being, and use that to amplify their abilities. So for example, if you kill another magic being they would be able to use their aura and magnify their attacks. Obviously the weaker the blood, the weaker the attack. Of course this doesn't come without draw backs." I watch Drake's face distort as he spoke. It wasn't in disgust, more like admiration. "What kind of draw backs? Shouldn't Sebastion be here for this?" Sebastion should be here so he could learn of this too, especially since he was of the same blood line after all.
Master's Secret Silvus
I found out that the man Sebastion had been arguing with was none other than the glorious Henchman. Casually perched up against the wall of the small room that led towards the dungeon. Apparently Sebastion had been trying to break into the dungeons to make sure that I was alright. He still had not been made completely aware of the situation other than that Aspin had betrayed us and I was hurt. So after explaining what had happened at the Manor, and telling Sebastion once again it was his fault, Drake offered us to go into a private room where we could discuss our possible new findings. So led us through this huge palace that, quite honestly was to big for me to remember. The hallways and corridors all looked the same. White walls with fancy gold trimmings, elegant gold swirling patterns crawled their way up the walls and halfway through the ceiling. It was so pretty, that even I couldn't pull my eyes away from the
Master's Secret I Am Here
I was surrounded by darkness, a heavy blanket draped over my body. It was hot and uncomfortable being under all this pressure. I kicked it off as gracefully as I could before sitting up in the bed. Heat radiated off my body in waves, it made me feel clammy and sticky as I tossed my legs over the bed. I practically shrieked in surprise as the cool floor hit my burning feet. It was so cold it practically numbed my senses. There was a flickering light that bounced off the walls. I rubbed my eyes as I pulled my body off the bed and walked over to the table that sat across the room. "Aria, you are awake." I heard the surprise in Drake's voice. Even he sounded exhausted. I dropped my hands from my eyes and took him in. I sighed when I found him bent over the table, feather quill in hand, looking over documents. He had deep bags under his eyes, and the look of a very fatigued man. I planted my hands on my hips, getting ready to
Master's Secret Rain
The wind whipped through my hair, sending it flying like an untamed beast into the air. On the wind carried moisture and the promise of rain. Rain, it's honestly been a long time since I felt the cool droplets against my skin. Of course with rain came the haunting memories of battles from so long ago. I could feel the droplets run down my arms and face like never ending sheets. Running the loose dirt into my eyes as I gazed over the thousands of bodies that laid before me. A haunting graveyard of enemies and allies. The city below me turned into field. A field laid with red fresh oozing blood. Bodies laid silently on the ground, devoid of life and emotion. Stab wounds, gashes, slit throats, the likes covered and marred their bodies. The sickly smell of metallic spread through the air like a wild fire on a hot day. It was dense and intoxicating, pumping my veins full of life and strength. Metal clashing against met
Master's Secret Interruptions
Having talked to Sebastion even a little was a great stress relief. Although we never did get to talk about the giant elephant in the room. The giant elephant being our heritage. Something about the way he tip toed around the subject, always avoiding my gaze or changing topics told me he wasn't comfortable about talking yet. So for now I would let him be. It wasnt normal for Sebastion to be so distant with me, and it was honestly frightening. We spent most of our lives close together, sharing the same space, sharing our thoughts, and now it seemed like he was so far away. His eyes, even though suffered, where once filled with light. Despite the hardships he was put through, he was normally full of light. But he was dimming, and as much as I wanted to lift his spirits I couldn't. Just like me, some battles he hd to fight alone. I gave a long pitiful sigh, once again staring longingly down at the sea o
Master's Secret Arrival
After last nights awkward encounter, Drake has hardly spoken to me. After Silvus walked in on us and I tried to soothe his temper, we went to sleep. But it was distant and colder than normal. He barely laid a hand on me, kept his back turned through the whole night. This morning he barely left with a silent kiss to the forehead and left me to puzzle and worry over his behavior. He was a man that never spoke freely of his problems, I knew that. But it made me worry more when he shut me out. Now I wasn't sure if it was something I had said or done, or is there was more meaning behind his abrupt change in additude. I could see him being upset over Silvus's demeaning words and actions, but why must he push me away when I was technically the victim. Nothing she said bothered me anyway. This treatment wasn't any different to me, and I could fight my own battles. I jad been doing it for so long it was knee jerk. Although
Master's Secret Why?
The tension in the room swelled as we sat in silence. Both of their eyes locked on to each other, but not in a menacing way. It seemed both where waiting for lashings that neither was ready to give nor receive. It was uncomfortable waiting in the dense silence. It wasn't until Sebastion cleared his throat to excuse himself that the tension broke. He hugged me once, than Aunt Amina, then left us to our silence. He promised he would keep an eye out for our assassins in case they showed up while I was gone. "I should start of saying I am sorry Drake. Over the years you have done us a great many services. Silvus's out rage was inexcusable. Pease punish her how it seems fit." Uncle Harold's grim expression never left his lips as he stared wearily at his friend. Drake gave a deep sigh, taking a chance to peak at me. With a small smile he gestured for me to come to him. "You shoul
