Evie fought for calm as she stood resolutely before him, her eyes flashing, and her fists clenched tightly at her sides. It was such a rare sight to see Zanya actually cowered before anyone like this. She could feel Zanya's extreme fear that she could not even utter a word anymore nor even make a single move. Thankfully, the rage and danger shining in his eyes softened the moment Evie walked in front and blocked Zanya. Evie remembered that Gavriel was always like this. Whenever he was raging, he would…-

"Princess, please escape now! Something… something's wrong with this person! This man isn't our -" Before Elias could finish his statement, he suddenly went still as if he could no longer move nor speak. Evie was still waiting for Elias to complete his sentence, thinking that perhaps he was considering what to say but after a few more seconds, she noticed that something was wrong. Coming around Elias and peering at his face from the front made her realise that Elias had been frozen mid-sentence and could…

Evie could not believe her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and her throat was now constricting because of the overwhelming emotions that had crashed upon her like a massive wave the moment she saw man in the dark cloak. This was just exactly as how she had pictured it in her dreams! It had happened so many times that she could even remember it whenever she closed her eyes. She could feel her body trembling and her skin prickle as she continued to stare at that black clad figure that stood before her, cloak…

Moments after Evie declared those words, the group then headed towards the city as well. They quietly arrived at the wall of Kirzan. Since they were trying to infiltrate into the city, they could not just happily waltz through the main gates. Before Zolan set out he had planned the route they were to use to infiltrate into the city. Zolan had actually lived in Kirzam for quite a while, so he had insiders' knowledge on everything in the city. Thankfully, before he and Luc had left, he had mapped his…

Two hours went by quickly, but Zolan and Luc had yet to return. Samuel was quietly leaning against a tree trunk while staring gloomily at the gleaming city below them. But despite his silence, his aura was leaking out strongly in waves. "Your aura is leaking out, leader." Levy muttered as he approached the man. "What's your order?" Samuel's face finally darkened as his brows furrowed together. Zolan was the most reliable among his men in the group when it comes to planning and everything else except…

As the dragon slowly descended, they saw the ruins of the once beautiful and snow-white place. Evie's heart clenched in agony at the sight that welcomed her. Dacria was unrecognizable – a far cry from the once stunning view she remembered it once to be in her mind. It was all but ruins now. She fought for calm and held back her tears as the dragon slowly circled and finally landed at where the castle was once standing magnificently. The moment they landed; Evie realized that it was the very place…

The shores of the crystal lake that was once teeming with women sitting together, chatting away and children noisily running around chasing after each other were now empty. They did not see a single shadow of their company. The women, the children… no one was there anymore. It was as silent as death. Evie's heart was immediately filled with dread as she frantically looked all around the area again, praying that her eyes were simply tricking her. Or better yet, they were the ones tricking her. Maybe…

As they walked along the bridge, Evie suddenly halted. She turned around for one last look of the grand view, committing it to mind and heart, before resolutely turning to the opposite way and walked on without turning back anymore. Evie and her men – plus a new companion – finally left. When they arrived at the foot of the hill, Evie was surprised that Onyx was still waiting there, crouching at the very same spot where they had left him so many days ago. Seeing the large ebony dragon, Evie did not…

Evie was all ready and waiting at the bridge even before daybreak. Though she knew she could continue summoning the dragons and training them as she and her men travelled along, she had still wanted to get one more chance in her dragon training before they leave this place. She then called upon the seventh dragon and as soon as it landed before her, Evie was a bit surprised by its size. This dragon was definitely the largest among the weyr of the young dragons. In fact, it was even a little bigger than…

The others could only solemnly nod in agreement. Even Levy shut his mouth as he realized that it was not as easy and as straightforward as he had initially thought. He could only agree that if Zanya could not prove herself to be capable enough, it would be better if she just stayed put in this place as it would no doubt be safe for her and patiently wait and pray for the princess' safe and victorious return. At that moment, the fight finally started. Zanya was the first to attack. She was faster than…
