Isa , what’s the matter?" I heard Ragnar’s voice. "My love, please wake up." I can hear Ragnar calling out to me with a worried tone. My eyelids still felt heavy, but I still tried to open my eyes. The first person I saw was Ragnar, looking at me worriedly. "E-Erik?" I asked in curiosity as to why he was looking at me worriedly. "Are you okay, my love?" He asked. His huge palm cupped my cheek I can feel the heat radiating from his touch. "Hmm... yes, I think so." I said doubtful. I tried to remember what happened before waking up, but all was hazy. "W-What happened?" I asked curiously.I saw Ragnar sighed in relief. "You were crying in your sleep that I was worried you are having a nightmare." He gave me a reassuring smile that all was fine. "A nightmare?" I asked. "I think I was dreaming, but I can’t seem to remember what it was."I knew I had a dream, but even if I tried to recall what I dreamt about, nothing was coming to me. "It’s okay if you cannot remember. I am just relie

These past few days, we have prepared for our departure. We bought everything that will be needed in the journey to find the fragments of the key to unlock the forbidden magic that was sleeping underneath the eastern sea. As planned, we have divided into two groups. The other group was led by Kyler while the other one was led by no other than Ragnar himself. Ragnar tried to persuade me these past few days to stay behind and wait for him, but I was firm with my decision in joining this journey. It was now dawn, the sun has not yet risen and the surroundings are silent. This was the best time for our departure. The other group led by Kyler departed the village two days earlier, knowing that their destination is much farther and dangerous than ours. "Are you ready my wife?" Ragnar whispered into my ears from behind. I was startled because he was not there a minute ago. "Y-Yes..." I was able to compose myself after being startled. Ragnar wrapped his arms around my waist and rested h

The journey has been smooth so far. Days have gone by since we left the village on the border of Wales. Our first stop was at the far end of the country, near the shores of the eastern sea. Judging by our pace, it will take at least weeks until we arrive at our destination. I have been improving at horse riding thankfully. I still get sore after long period of time, but rather than take a rest every time I feel tired, Ragnar would let me ride with him. I am always comfortably saddled in front of him. Because of this, we at least quicken our pace of the journey. "It looks like we won’t get to the next village before the sun sets." Ragnar muttered. I was currently riding with him and so I was able to hear him. "Probably." I replied and looked at the sky. The sky is starting to get an orange color which is an indicator that the sun was about to set. "Victor, find a nice place to camp." Ragnar gave an order. "Yes, your majesty." Victor bowed in reply. Victor took three men

My heart was beating faster every second while trying to find my husband in the vicinity. The poor lighting was not helping me, the little light that came from the moon was blocked by dark clouds from the sky. The fire in the fireplace started to dwindle down. ’This is not normal.’ I thought to myself. The hair on my arms stood in attention, as if confirming my suspicions. "Y-Your majesty... what are we going to do?" Maggie was also visibly shivering.The temperature was starting to drop beyond normal. Summer has already begun and with our location, this place should not get this cold this time of the year. "You probably need to stick close to me just in case, Maggie." I told her. If my hunch is correct, this phenomenon that is happening now is not normal. There should be an external force doing this. "First, I need to make fire." I said and Maggie nodded. I took tree branches that were lying on the ground. I tear a piece of cloth from the bottom of my night wear and tied it at

After my words, fire rained down from the sky. The fog that was so think quickly dissipated when the fire came into contact on the ground. Avatar’s wings were on fire, it was beautiful and majestic to look at.Avatar was careful not to get anyone from our group in danger. The fire dissipated after it cleared away the fog. It also helped get the sirens to scramble in fear. "As I thought, they do not like fire." I said in triumph.Sirens are creatures that live in water, therefore they do not want fire that can evaporate water and burn. "Kyaaahhhh!!!" The sirens in the lake shrieked loudly. It pained our ears hearing such an agonizing scream. "Dammit, my eardrums will burst." Snow exclaimed. But the shrieking stopped after some time. When we gathered our bearings, I thought this was the chance to attack. I need to get this opportunity to get the men out of their trance. "Avatar, use your fire on the lake!" I ordered him. "Snow, get Maggie on your back and let’s try to wake the oth
