Chapter 11

Restless, Dilah woke you from your heavy slumber, well before the sun arose. Despite having slept the same time as you, she seems far more alert, ready to take whatever the day had in store. Nudging you in your shoulder "Come on Demetria, it's time to wake up. We have a lot of gr...

Chapter 12

Several days pass by without incident, positive or negative. The clouds gave way after the second day, providing clear but windy days for the rest of the way so far. The most interesting thing to happen to happen was the wildlife, having seen a golden eagle among other examples o...

Chapter 13

You accept the Paladin's guidance, and her directions. This of a more urgent concern, for you and protecting the good of all. "You're right, Dilah, of course." You respond with a short head nod. "We have to make sure this stops here, whatever this is, to keep people safe. So, wh...

Chapter 14

You know what you've been told your whole life, you know that the path of forgiveness is the most central tenant of the Phoenician doctrine. You remember word for word the oath you made as you became a member of the Sisterhood, you remember the pride you felt when that day finall...

Chapter 15

A repeated nudging stirs from your sleep. Having been quite comfortable and sound, you groan in defiance. In your groggy state, you even lost track of where you were. "Please, Doolyn, five more minutes!" "The Archdeacon may have been lax with rousing you to the day, but you won...

Chapter 16

Having cleaned yourselves up, as well as the floor, you depart your bedroom to a communal dining area, where Xandria is already sitting and enjoying breakfast. He has a seemingly knowing smile as you enter, which warms your face in embarrassment. You wonder what those pointy, hal...

Chapter 17

Entering the city of this unfamiliar Kingdom was a new experience for you, though perhaps that shouldn't be such a surprise, given how you spent your whole life in one city. At least on the surface, things were very similar. A very well populated area, encased by large defensive...

Chapter 18

The flames erupt in an instant, in impossible tendrils. Your heart fills with fear of what may come, but stay resolute, despite the dangers. With a seeming sentience, the fire lashes out towards you. Once it found your soft skin, it spread all around, every part of you covered in...

Chapter 19

Walking through the street alongside Demetria, your mind gravitates on the last words you heard her say, and you can't quite get that out of your mind. "Dilancia?" You ask, just loudly enough for her to hear you through over the noise of the markets. "Yes, Demetria?" She respon...

Chapter 20

"It's different?" You ask incredulously, "Show me exactly how different this is" Scornfully, you push yourself away from the Colonel, and straight into the market square. You hear her try to stop you, as she probably has a good sense of what you're about to do. Her words fall on...

Chapter 22

The three of you are exhausted. You had hoped to stay in the city for the night before moving onto trekking on the streets again, but with all the chaos you caused, that's off the table, and you needed to get as far away as you could before guards or vindictive civilians start lo...

Chapter 23

It feels like the three of you had been running for so long that you’re surprised the sun hadn’t risen by the time you reach civilization; a small city with crude walls surrounding it off the road, with the gates shut. The faint glow of a lantern behind indicating someone behind...

Chapter 24

The ride is the slowest journey you’ve ever had in your life. Every minute feels like an hour, every hour feels like a day. You feel not only physically exhausted, but emotionally and psychologically as well. Being unable to sit up, you see little but the sky, and you cons...

Chapter 25

The two of you are led and pushed down a series of dark hallways and corridors of this opulent castle. The sound of your rankling chains echoes against the cold stone. The walls and hallways are littered with countless portraits, busts, and other works of art, but it’s too dark a...

Chapter 26

Your captors bring you up to the Baroness. Brought down to your knees, you're made to face each other, in front of this masculine audience. Looking into Dilancia's eyes, through the tears and fears of what has just happened to her, there's love, and even a sense of joy. Even if t...

Chapter 27

You and Dilancia are dragged back to a prison cell like you were briefly held in before. The gate is closed but at least this time you're not chained to the wall. Your hands and feet are still bound by chains. "Sweet dreams lovelies. They'll be your last." The two of you collap...

Chapter 29

"You're right Colonel" You say with heavy heart "Our safety increases with each step between us and that monstrous place. Let's move; hopefully the next village isn't too far away." Taking a deep breath, you marshall your horse forward, along with Dilancia and Xandria, along the...

Chapter 30

The meal done, you look out a window near the fireplace, and see the sun has set. You feel some sense of worry, that the dreadful vampire Baronness will find you here, but the sound of the fire, the hearty food, and the wonderful company remind you that you're safe. You touch the...
