Malachi came back home with Ruskan, covered in blood and stuffed with bullets causing the worst kind of pain. He knew one was obsidian, but what the hell was the other one that made him unable to use his leg normally? It reminded him a little of the one Ravina shot him with. Aaron and Joel who were lurking in the dark appeared upon his arrival. They looked at him with shock and concern. “What happened?” Joel asked. Aaron looked at his wounds. “Humans? Where did you go?” Joel rolled his eyes.…-

Malachi left Ravina, feeling pleased that she did worry about her safety. That he could do something about but if she was a danger to herself, it would be harder. He asked Aaron and Joel to keep a close eye, and some of his trusted men, while he left to find Ravina’s sister. Ruskan, who was good at hunting down people had found a few places they could go and look. The problem was that it was among humans and they looked nothing like humans. They waited until it was a bit dark, and then dressed in large…

The look in Saul’s eyes changed and his face became grimmer. “Several years ago there were a few weapons, now there are dozens, tomorrow there will be hundreds. Today we can only fight a dragon at a time, tomorrow there will be a weapon that will kill you in two or three, and the day after, one shot might end your life. Do you understand what I am saying?” He looked at her with disgust but she could see he understood her words clearly. There was resistance in his eyes as well. “You might hate my…

Clearly, stallions and sheep were different kinds of men so riding a stallion… Riding a man…? Like… She tossed her pen aside having some idea from what she read and all of her conclusions were that it was a sexual act. A position to be specific where the woman was on top. God! It was both good and bad that she read those books and these shameless men… really? What made him think she would want… to… Her shoulders fell in defeat and then her mind provided her with some explicit images of…

Ravina watched the brothers playing while she sat in the chair. Malachi’s brothers didn’t allow him to jump more than ten jumps, teasing him and ruining the count for him. He ignored them as the children began to jump with him, some asking him to carry them and jump with them in his arms. There were lots of giggling and screams. There was something beautiful about having lots of siblings and good cousins. She only had a sister and one cousin who was her foremost enemy. Malachi was blessed with many…

Ravina was in her worst nightmare again. The scene of her parent’s death, the loss of her sister, and many others. She was left alone, standing there and watching the once beautiful village that has been home to many, crumble. And somewhere there, her parent’s bodies were burned to ashes. From all the fire and smoke rising into the air, Malachi stepped out of it, not the least injured by the fire or affected by the smoke that suffocated many to their deaths. “What have you done?” She asked…

Malachi tried to be as patient as possible with Ravina as they walked back home with her injured leg and a slightly wobbly walk from the little wine she had. Eventually, she stopped. “I am tired,” she sighed, leaning against the fence of the bridge. Malachi stopped and waited for her to regain her strength. She watched him with those scientists’ eyes. “You are not losing your patience today,” she pointed. He leaned against the fence across from her. “Do you want me to?” “Well, I could…

Ephraim continued to lead her down the stairs and then he took her to a large hall. It was filled with furniture. Ephraim released her hand and went to touch a table, his fingers playing along the beautifully carved edge. “I started making furniture.” He began. “I started with small tables, when I sold them I used the money to buy better equipment and made better ones and so I continued. I had to hide my face so people would buy at first and slowly I made a name for myself.” Darcy stepped inside…

“I am sorry,” Russell’s voice was rusty and the words broke as he spoke. His eyes were red, the same as his glistening skin. His lips had become blue and dry. Darcy touched his forehead. He was burning. She stood up, rushed to the door, and threw it open. Servants were already waiting outside. “I need the physician,” she said. Without a word, one of the male servants hurried away. Darcy returned to Russell who kept reaching out with his hand. She took his hand, crouching beside his bed. His…

Malachi had expected Ravina to show disgust or disturbance. This wasn’t the way of humans but rather than disgust, she showed concern for the bride when the groom shifted. Of course, she didn’t know whether it was safe or not. It could look very frightening to the untrained eyes, but she handled the rest very well. Felt the intensity of it that was amplified by the atmosphere. She looked at her hand grasping his tightly. Shocked she released him and then stared as if looking for something. “Don’t…
