Having spent a couple days in a dungeon for herself, Vylina now understood why everyone feared them. The place was dark, cold, smelled of piss and shit, and was filled with dangerous strangers. The only light she had came from the slits that were used as windows and torches left lit by day; by night it was only the torches. In either case, the light only served to give birth to countless shifting shadows through the hallway, making her question everything she saw. By just spending one night inside of her cell, it was more than enough to take whatever fight it was she had in her that night she was captured.
Mikhai had been in a foul mood all day long, and Marko himself was not feeling too well either. Part of this was because four days past, he had stumbled across a caravan leaving Turrok and heading southeast into Terindale. Word that the King of Winter was soon launching a massive expedition that he would be leading himself had spread and reached the ears of many within Turrok. Most people saw it as a golden opportunity to leave the lands for better places, even if the journey from Woln to Elbourne would be a dangerous gamble. This led to those who shared similar thoughts forming the caravan, believing
After her brother’s return to the capital, the lands of Turrok had become noticeably more organized and controlled. Guards were situated within as many towns and cities as possible within reach, and any lord who requested help was given it; within reason, of course. Since she didn’t see her mother as often, Thyra could not be sure of it, but if she were a gambler, she’d bet that these things kept the queen in a foul mood. Thankfully, she was not often around to suffer the brunt of her mother’s assault these days, not since her brother had summoned her.
It had been days since he arrived within the kingdom of Klimek now. Against the wishes of his employee, Lyenol had accompanied the Scarlet Ghosts on their journey west to Waernell. From there, without stopping at the forte of Lord Castor, they made the long travel southwest, moving in such a way that once they entered into the territory of the burning kingdom, they bypassed each castle under the cover of night. The first of these was Baerth, a castle held by Lord Wyan Bracken. The man was considered to be as ruthless and war-loving as the Blazing Emperor he served and his red keep was stained with the blood of his prisoners, or so they say
She could not say how long it had been since she came to the castle, but there were many days and nights that had passed since the first. Everyone within the castle was constantly on edge from the soldiers always going about somewhere within the walls and shouting commands. But not Vylina; instead, she would watch them with excitement from atop the castle’s tall battlements. She enjoyed those spots the most as they were the tallest walls she had ever seen; believing they would allow her to touch the sky. The soldiers always shouted at her to come down, as did a few of the remnants from her village; Kolsted, but no matter how much the
Darkness was how Kasis spent most of her days; if they could even be called that now. They had arrived within the Citadel two days ago now but she was none the wiser. Since that morning, her eyes burned her like a fire was lit behind them so she made sure to keep them closed and slept for as long as she could to avoid the pain. Since coming to the Citadel she had only opened her eyes a very scarce few times. The last thing she clearly recalled, was taking some potion as a strange face hovered over her and the smell of persimmons filled her nostril. Since then, she had been in and out of consciousness; only catching glimpses of voices and f
