On her way back to the castle, Ravina tried to read professor Ward’s notes. He had written every detail of his research which wasn’t surprising as that was how research was done. Every detail had to be documented so that another person could reproduce the result. If the research wasn’t documented in detail then it lacked reliability. Professor Ward made sure that his research had both reliability and validity. His method could be followed step by step. It was interesting to see his different…-

Ravina left the cave feeling both satisfied and enraged. How could he speak ill of a dead person with such a straight face? She was so close to shooting him to death when he spoke about her father. Since he was the king he was probably the one refusing the peace treaties. Asking for peace was stupid? She scoffed. Alright then. He would see if asking for war was smarter. She snuck back to her room and Ester was as usually worried about her working so late. “My Lady, you will become ill soon if you work…

“I am very worried.” She said but she didn’t sound worried at all. She looked down at her notebook and made a few notes. What was she writing? “You should be worried about yourself.” He told her. She gazed up at him. Her cold eyes almost made him shiver. They could look soulless sometimes. Ignoring his remark she continued to ask her questions. “To be considered a pureblood, how close to your ancestors do you have to be?” Why was she curious about this? “The closest alive.” “So…

In the numbness of pain, Malachi sensed a female scent. The sweet scent of daisies woke him up from his drugged state. The vile human king had left him chained to the wall, hanging by his arms. His legs could barely hold him up. He was losing a lot of blood from having been shot with obsidian bullets. Something his body couldn’t push out on its own so he could heal. Malachi had tried to use his muscle strength to push the stones out from his body but after pushing out a few he got tired. The rest were…

Ravina decided to ignore the prisoner for a week before talking to him again even if that meant waiting to find her sister. There was no other way. A week shouldn’t be long considering how long she had been searching for her sister already, but no matter what she told herself it was hard to just wait. Therefore she kept herself extremely occupied with her inventions. She would go outside each time to test the new developments she made and then go back and try again when she wasn’t satisfied. “Your…

The prisoner narrowed his eyes as she walked in and then his lips curved into a smirk. He leaned his head back against the graviton and rested his arms on his knees. “I knew you would come back.” He said. “I thought you were a scared rabbit but you turned out to be a wild cat. I like it.” “Really?” She asked remaining calm. She walked further in until she was standing right across from him. He watched her behind his dark lashes. “Yes. The hunt will be more fun as will the kill.” “You…

Ravina spent the rest of her day going between the laboratory and inventory. She didn’t eat or take a break and her uncle who usually nagged her about it was on a trip. Bram let her bury herself in work, knowing she was in too much pain to have free time that would allow her to think of other things, like where her sister was. Ravina focused on developing her father’s inventions further. Most of them needed precision and lots of practice. Ravina wanted to make the use easier so more soldiers could use…

Ravina and Bram walked through the long dark tunnel that led to the caves where the different prisoners were chained. The new prisoner got a small cave of his own. As they neared she could hear the clinging of metal chains which meant that he was trying to break them. He stopped when they stepped inside and they caught sight of him. He was barechested in the cold cave but Ravina knew the cold didn’t affect dragons. The prisoner remained still, his dark eyes turning to the entrance and glaring at them…

Ravina wasn’t sure how she reached her chambers. Slowly she sat at the edge of her bed, her mind still battling the frightening thoughts of what conditions her sister might be in. She tried to pull herself together. At least her sister was alive. Would she be selfish to think that way? Ravina knew she would rather die than become a breeding stock to those beasts. She would rather die than have those creatures lay their hands on her let alone carry their offspring. She stood up and began to pace back…

Ravina sat at the breakfast table watching the coffee in her cup that reminded her of the prisoner’s dark eyes. He had held her gaze until he was dragged out of sight. She was still a bit shaken by those eyes and the way he had intensely gazed at her. Also, why didn’t the sedatives work on him? “Ravina, are you alright?” Her uncle’s voice suddenly pulled her back to the present. “Yes, Your Majesty.” “You should eat. You haven’t been eating well these days.” Her uncle…
