"You have to!" Brenda said in an angry tone. "With my death you will get free!" Panic slammed through Dawn as an invisible force made her hold the javelin above her in order to strike Brenda. One hit and she would be dead. She forced herself to stop this from happening. She looked up helplessly towards the audience to see if Ileus could help, if he could work past Sedora's magic, but the boy was never there when she needed him the most. And where the hell was Brantley? Where had the two disappeared…-

Daryn gulped. Did Pia know she was… next? Slowly he shook his head. "No…" Sedora's face paled. She stared at him for a long time hoping he would change his decision. If he would accept Pia's gift, then she would instantly release the rings over the heads of Dawn and Brenda. But the man couldn't speak lies. He honestly didn't like the gift from Pia. She looked back at Pia whose face was white as chalk. Pia gave an anxious stare to Daryn and then she turned to look at Dawn. Her breathing became…

Brantley and Ileus ran along with her. In the wilderness around her, the canopies were so thick that the sunlight struggled to penetrate through them to reach the ground. The vista flashed in the shades of blue, green and black. Dense fog often snaked around the trees and the air became heavier. She noticed how wildly the jungle had grown. She had never noticed that kind of flora in other places. Big yellow flowers, the size of a deer at the base of tree trunks sensed their movement and turned in their…

Sedora tore her gaze away from Dawn. "The rules of the third task are very simple." She flicked her finger and red and orange flames crackled from her hand, which swirled around her fingers. She turned the flame around her fingers lazily and played with them as if playing with a child's toy. "The four contestants will have an hour, and in that one hour they have to bring gifts for my son Daryn." She pointed at Daryn with her flamed finger. Suddenly she threw her hand forward and as if the flames were…

"What the hell is going on?" Dawn snapped. The tent shook again. "I don't know. I heard this rumble in the day also. There is something definitely odd!" said Brantley. "I am going to investigate it." He started to walk out of the tent but stopped and turned to say, "Remember Daryn, you need to go back to the tower before the sun rays fall." "I remember it. Don't worry," Daryn replied and Brantley left. Sedora's guards would ensure that. Dawn poured a glass of water in a tumbler and drank it. She…

Dawn stared at her mate with wide eyes. This was fantastic but dangerous at the same time. "Since yesterday I was experimenting on the illusions that my mother has woven around me. I concentrated on breaking them. I walked around the apartment I am being held prisoner at. There was this illusion of a female servant wearing skimpy clothes and looking like you. She was readying my bath. When I stepped in the bath, I focused on breaking the mirage of her wearing skimpy clothes," said Daryn when he…

Dawn stood on the ground with her feet fixed firmly. The sky, which had turned dark, streaked silver lights across Ixoviya's landscape. Her eyes narrowed and they flickered a golden yellow. Everything became slow motion. She looked at Dolgra whose face was contorted into a horrible expression with her fangs bared and lengthened, her wings flapping behind her horizontal body and her horns straight as ramrod. She was like a bull charging at the red cloth. Dawn waited with her dagger with extreme focus. As…

A demon flapped his wings harshly and flew past Dawn. His wing hit her with full impact. The force of it sent her to the ground. When she looked up, she saw him hovering over her momentarily before attacking her with his clawed legs. Before he could pounce on her chest, three arrows fanned out in the air and pierced his legs. He yelled in pain, and stumbled back in the air. Another set of two arrows pierced him in the thigh and he fell on the ground. Brenda had been busy nocking white arrows, which…

Dawn stared at Brantley wondering what he meant by saying that. "You want me to murder her in cold blood?" she asked. "How do you expect me to control my emotions? I can't simply walk to her and stab her, can I?" "Remember what I said," he said and then started to leave. Before stepping out, he said, "You can change your clothes. Ileus is in deep sleep and will probably stay like that for a few hours until those green lights glimmer around him." He lifted the flap of the tent and then stopped. "He…

"You don't understand love. If I am to use whatever little power I could garner, she has told me that using it would directly affect you. It would injure you, which means it will affect our babies," said Daryn with misery all over his face. His wolf wanted to protect his mate and his kids. All at once Dawn heard another explosion coming from a distance. At first she was confused but then shoved the thoughts that occurred in her mind. Dawn removed Daryn's hand from the face and said, "Look at me…
