“The Lycan’s flame.”Ashryn the Great holds up something that burns. I look around and see I am in a room. Metal equipment of various lengths and sizes are littered around and Diane is here too. Her hair has been let down and it looks so silky it’s almost like a curtain but she has curls to them. There’s a frown on her face.She does not look happy. King Ashryn turns to look at her and he frowns, concerned,“You don’t like it, my love?”Diane’s frown falls as her husband addresses her and she sighs.“It’s beautiful. Powerful, dare I say it, but you know this isn’t safe right?”I nod along with her. Ashryn was a good king according to what I read but this might just be the only mistake he made.I feel the Lycan’s flame power up as he commands it to. The air becomes charged with energy, the kind that makes you feel like you’re breathing better and the world has suddenly become a million times clearer. I find it weird that I can feel this but I can. I can see my hands even.I am standi

“We shouldn’t be doing this.” Darkness. I can’t see anything yet I am in a memory. I can feel where I am right now and I know it’s a large space. “We really shouldn’t be doing this Diane. We could get caught, you could die.” A female voice. One of them should be Diane, but the one who’s speaking, I haven't heard that voice in any of her memories. I’m blind here and it’s disconcerting. I don’t like being trapped in memories blind. Light bursts forth and it almost blinds me. I hiss and avert my face then realize I'm not the only one who’s hissing. “What the fuck Diane?” “I’m sorry, I'm sorry. I didn’t know it would react like that. I swear this thing misbehaves sometimes.” “I shouldn’t go blind because of the staff’s misbehavior, Diane. If anyone should, it’s you. You’re the one who wants to steal it.” I hear someone’s chuckle and I can tell it’s Diane’s. I still can’t see her, I can barely see anything. “Blood’s leaking from my eyes Di, shit.” Magic hums in the air and I hear

Queen Diane helps me hold my hair back as I retch. Sea water gushes out of my mouth and what follows is relief. I always feel horrible when I vomit, yet this makes my body feel freed. Something in me chills as I come to a conclusion but that isn’t what matters right now. “Someone’s been using the Lycan’s flame.” I look up at the queen and blink back the tears at the side of my eyes. My body is still a body after all, but what I saw just now…. “You’ve known all this while haven’t you?” She shakes her head and rises. The Queen I see in those memories and the one who stands in front of me are so vastly different that I almost feel scammed. Where is the fierceness I saw in her eyes? The pride of being able to command spirits of every shape and size? The assurance of capability she exuded? “I suspected something like that was happening too, but I know it isn’t. No one could have used the Lycan’s flame, not after what I did.” Something in me curls at her words. It doesn’t just curl,

“Hey, wake up.”My eyes flutter open to Safira gently shaking me and I blink back the bleariness I feel. My eyes scan the room immediately and I’m relieved to find that it isn’t in a state of destruction.Lyros doesn’t seem to be here and Safira…. Looks okay.She frowns when I continue to stare at her so I look away. I sit on the bed and stretch to alleviate the ache in my back.“I think I’m up. Can I know what time it is?”Safira is silent for a while before she answers.“It’s the sixth bell. Dinner should be waiting for you in the castle by the next hour.”That means I slept for at least six hours. It didn’t feel like six hours, but maybe that’s just the thing with Diane’s memory realm. Maybe the place is getting used to me.Or maybe it’s because I viewed only two memories.“Cain should be awake by now. Want to come with me to see him?”I nod almost eagerly and Safira chuckles as she slips into her clothes. The jacket makes her look formidable, and the leather pants are also beauti

“Tell us the truth, Cain.”Adelaide sounds cold. Like the wind in winter.When I look at her I can see it’s the concern she feels for me that’s making her sound like that. The concern and the suspicion in her eyes.She knows something new and I hate the fact that this has to happen in front of Rafie. I wouldn’t have minded showing it to her alone, but Rafie is a wild card. I don’t know what to do with him.“I have other things to do, Cain. Don’t make this harder than it already is.”At the sound of Rafie’s voice, I feel something in the air change and memories tingle the back of my mind. To have a King care for you is a deep and violent thing, sometimes they cause you harm without meaning to. I consider how much harm this will cause if I do tell them, but the truth is that it will cause more harm if I don't.“The first time it happened was when Lyros used his magic to heal me.”Adelaide tenses up immediately and I take a few steps away from her just to put distance between us. I don’

“Adelaide.” I ignore his call and keep walking. “Adelaide, come on, let’s talk this out.” I don’t know why this hurts me the way it does but I know it does. How could he keep that kind of information secret? It’s not like I'd understand half of what caused it anyway but at least, just so I could know, he could have told me so I could be aware of it. I interacted with Fenrir on that ship. I thought something was odd about him, but it was Cain all along and he didn’t say anything! I wallowed in fear and blamed myself for so long and he was around me all the time that happened. Did he find it pleasing to see me in that state? Was he happy to know I felt horrible and wondered constantly about where he was? “Adelaide.” Cain’s hand wraps around my wrist and I snap it away. “Don’t! Touch me right now okay? I’m angry, you shouldn’t be touching me while I'm angry.” People stop to look at us in the hallway but I don't care about that. My heart twists and constricts and I don't know w

She blinks and when she looks at me, it’s with a bewildered expression on her face. Her voice is almost a whisper when she speaks but I hear her clearly.“Excuse me?”My words get stuck in my throat but I say them all the same.“I said I'm sorry. I apologize for what I did to Cain…. I wasn’t meant to do that. I panicked.”Adelaide blinks yet again and she releases a disbelief-filled huff of air. Her expression tells me everything I need to know.She’s surprised and she can’t believe her ears, but she’s also scared.“You’ve never apologized for anything in the past.”Her voice is in that whispery-like timbre again and I nod.“Some things have changed since we first met.”Adelaide stares at me and I can see the disbelief when it enters her eyes. That courage she’s known for, the courage to be brave even when she knows it can be provocative, that courage rises in her and she scoffs.“Nice try. An apology won’t make me forget what you did.”“But it’s a start isn’t it?”Adelaide freezes a

Lyros is acting strange.“Let me.”I don’t argue with him this time as he takes the strings of the dress from me. For some reason, this dress has strings to tighten it upfront. They crisscross across my stomach and like that isn’t enough, Lyro has to face me to do them up. I’m not sure if he’s suffering from a brain concussion or if he hit his head on a rock. He looks fine…….He looks perfectly okay yet he’s chosen today to act crazier than he ever has since I've known him because an apology? I’m still not sure if the memory of that in my head is a dream or a hallucination. My eyes drift to him and he’s still there. He has the strings to the lacing of this gown in his hands and he looks at them intently, fumbling with the tiny strands of fabric as he tries to figure them out.A scoff almost escapes my lips, but then he looks up.Lyros’s eyes glow from under thick heavy lashes and I feel like I'm looking down at him and looking up at him at the same time.His hands have paused on
