Yaena wrapped her own arms around him, feeling like the world was off her shoulders, was this it? Was it finally done? She was trying not to cry, but the tears were staining her cheeks as well, from pure relief, she wanted to believe that this was the end. That Selantheia was nothing more than a...

All she could do was look in horror, all her focus was kept on keeping Briar alive. It was less her doing a specific spell or technique and more just her powers acting to fulfill her wants. It wouldn’t look like it considering the distance between the mother and daughter. But they were dueling...

When Briar squeezed her hand, she looked up with concern. Unfortunately, despite having two eyes, those two eyes were human and she could barely see past her own arms, she tried not to let it scare her. To be honest, Selantheia wasn't any more dangerous in the dark than she was in the light...

Who would have thought that out of the two couples here, Calum and Mara would be the ones who responded reasonably to a fucking dragon? In any other time, Calum would have loved to tease Mara for clinging to him, but instead, despite being the one who 'triggered' the dragon, he just wrapped his...

"Arrogance is unbecoming," Calum said, and anyone who knew him for any amount of time would know how hilarious it was that he of all people had anything to say with humility. "I don't need power I need speed." He retorted, and this time he was able to expertly move his foot away before his...

If this meeting had just been Yaena reuniting with her brother, she would have no problem with Briar staying in the palace. However, this meeting wasn't just going to be Calum and Yaena excitedly interacting with each other they were going to form a plan. She couldn't help but wonder if Mara...

Calum did in fact look startled, but he seemed more nervous about how Mara was reacting to the news than either Yaena or Briar. Mara wasn't an idiot, while she might not specifically guess that Yaena and Calum were siblings. She knew these things: that the king and queen of Eurus were very...

It was hard for Yaena to do anything "fun" too, knowing that her mother was out there and that she was as always, ten steps ahead of them. But they needed time to develop a plan. Before, it was easy to imagine plans that involved them just killing her. While Selantheia most likely learned from...

Yaena was used to elves watching her. She was the human, in Eurus, thankfully, the mystique had faded. While she would always of course be human and that would always matter, she was smart enough to play her cards well and even Lord Aardeth knew to keep any comments to himself. But whenever...

Yaena could barely see shit. She had to hold Briar's hand and rely on him to get up the stairs and she wanted to leave. This felt remarkably foolish, to willingly go to Selantheia again. After all, it was Selantheia who used a note to get Briar into her clutches, and they were in her kingdom...

Her first thought was mind control, maybe Selantheia had been able to use her powers to turn everyone in Leara into mindless worshippers because that was the only choice. However, there was a time when Yaena herself was protective over her mother, believing that her critics in Zhicra were either...

As they walked through the kingdom, Yaena couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to live in a nation mostly untouched by war. The year the peace treaty was still relevant was the only period in her life where she wasn't living in a nation at war. Zhicra was warring when Yaena was born...

Sometimes it was easier to console Daella than Briar. That being said, it had been painful to leave Daella behind too. Yaena wanted to bring their daughter, so she could see new sights, but if her mother was potentially in one nation, then she did not want Daella anywhere near it. The only...

One beautiful thing about her and Briar's relationship (out of a list of hundreds) wasn't that they never faced troubles, but that they never let the troubles ruin them. Just think, they've known each other for less than two years and in that time they discovered that Yaena had a curse that...

Calum wasn't alseep but he was more relaxed than he had been and he grumbled in irritation when Briar came in. This was the night, he was surprised that it was at night. Usually such executions were in the morning, but nevertheless, the time of day didn't make anything hurt less so he followed...

Calum leaned back on his chains, the guards made sure he was uncomfortable as possible, but he’s gotten used to them in a way as he listened to Briar speak with an amused expression on his face. He knew that he loved his sister, he wasn’t naive, he hardly doubted that he would be here if it...

Yaena wanted to cry, she wanted to sob as she walked her husband walk away. He promised her that he would come back, but how much was that in his control? She knew that the second the door closed that until Briar was laying by her side again that her more existential worries about his powers...

If there was one easy thing about talking to Yaena is that you should be reassured that anything she said was only said after much thought and deliberation. When she was younger, there were entire days where the only people she would talk to were her parents or her siblings. It wasn’t because...

There was a thick fog of tension in the palace, as though the air itself was filled with war. Even when conversations were not about the war, they were still about the war. It was horrible to say, but Yaena was lucky, in Eurus Briar was far from the frontlines and even if Daella, had been born...

Inka dying in a way gave Yaena new strength, it was corny, but it did force her to live her life to her fullest. When Inka died she left behind a husband and a son, she would never get to see them again. Yaena, still got to see Briar and Daella every day, and that was an immense privilege that...
