After Brantley returned from Dawn's tent, he informed him that she was sleeping soundlessly and that he had to go again to talk to her about the contest. And now it was post dinner. The whole town had burst into festivities. It was pretty late in the night and he had been searching for Daryn for several hours now. Ileus looked up at the spires again and then his gaze followed the light coming from the window. He had to check out whether Daryn was there in that tower or not. Teleporting was difficult and…-

Brantley took in a deep breath. "This is the world of Lore Dawn. One mistake and you are gone. Every immortal is at war with the other one. That's the power play of this world. It's crazy. As for Gayle—he didn't know that his wife is a sorceress. He thought she was a werewolf. It was a shock for him. When he came to meet her at the Arc of Orinico, all of his people were abducted along with him and brought over here. While Gayle was released because he was her husband, the others, including Neal, are…

Brantley turned to look at her and his gaze focused on her face. "Yes, I mean exactly what you are thinking. One of your babies is going to kill her. She knows it and so she is going to kill you one way or the other." "Isn't she concerned about her own son?" Dawn asked as fear gripped her heart. "That woman killed her own sister to absorb her magic and then killed her mother in a rage. Do you think she would think twice before killing Daryn or you? She is only interested in conquering Lore and living…

Brantley was standing with a tray of assorted cheese, pancakes, maple syrup and baked potato. The smell of food wafted through her nostrils and her stomach grumbled. She narrowed her gaze at him and said, "You and I have a lot to talk!" He smiled. "We do have to talk a lot Dawn. The thing is that I can't wait to talk to you," he said and walked to the desk to keep her food. He waved his hand at it and said, "First you eat." His gaze flitted to the small rack that was laden with food in her tent. "I…

Sedora looked amused. "That is if you get to live, Brantley, after all this is over," she said waving her hand. "I will never let you have what you want so badly, dragon rider. All this cycle of fate that you have set in motion—I am going to bring it to a halt. I am going to take over the ore world and kill you so slowly and painfully that you wouldn't even know whether you are alive or dead." Brantley hissed. "You don't know the power of a dragon rider in that case." She glared at him and wanted…

Sedora looked beautiful, just like a goddess. She was wearing a golden gown that was weaved with finest threads. Her black curly hair fell around her golden crown with spikes and streamed across her shoulders. The curls were rising up and down as if reacting to the power she had in her. She had applied dark gold eye shadow across her eyes right from the nose to the temples. She was adorned with loads of gold. And on her neck was a choker, a necklace so attractive that Dawn couldn't take her eyes off.…

As soon as the gates closed behind them, two guards dressed in gold armor from head to toe stepped in front of them pointing their javelins, which were blazing with fire. "Stop," one on the right ordered. "Who have you got Emma?" he asked. "These two are guests for the event, where this girl is a contestant." Dawn stared at Emma. What contestant was she talking about? What event? They removed the javelins. The guard nodded, waved his hand in the air and two wooden talismans threaded in gold chains…

When she was standing at an arm's length to the wall, she pressed her hand to it. The anacondas glided on her hand started to crawl up towards her neck with their mouths open and fangs bared as if to bite her. She started to chant some spell. "Apperire Viam…" The anacondas hissed and became agitated. Emma hissed again, "Apperire Viam…" One of them attacked her neck and pierced its fangs in her neck. Emma jerked her head up as if she had just taken a needle. "Ahh!" The anacondas started to climb…

Brantley took one step back knowing who Ileus was. He put his hands up in the air and said, "Ask her to step back or the altar that you are standing upon would become your sacrificing ground." Dawn turned her head towards Emma with yet another shocked expression. Her face paled, when she saw Emma baring her fangs with anger, her red eyes going wild. "What is going on?" asked Dawn. The lights in her hands now reached her forearms, the magic growing stronger with each passing second. Ileus lowered…

In the end, when the fight stopped, Ileus was standing with his sword over Emma's neck and his leg was over her thigh, which was bleeding profusely. "Why can't things be simpler?" he said and spat his blood on the ground as he jerked his head back to remove the locks of hair that had fallen on his forehead. "Since you will not take us there, I will have to kill you!" he said and took his sword up in the air holding it with both hands in order to plunge it into her. "Only I know the way to that place…
