Getting to the back of the wheelchair, he held the handgrip and dragged it. The ice under the wheelchair produced sounds as they were passing on it. They stood in front of the gorgeous castle. The stones of the castle were white and shiny. The domes were huge and round, with metal doors complementing its beauty.

A white horse came running towards her. His black thick hair waving in the air, half tied in a pony and half freely falling. The flicks of his hair on the side of his forehead, flickering by the wind. A veil on his face, revealing only his ash mauve eyes. With a sword in his hand, he was forwarding towards her. Whistling, she called Onyx and jumped on him. Riding away from him, she pulled out her dagger. Glancing at him through her shoulder, she speeds up her pace. 'It's him, the Lord of the f*ker.' Was he along all the time? Was he hiding? If so, why would he let his men die? With the different attire from the last time they met, he might not have recognized her. Speeding up the horse, she was thinking of a way to defeat him. She knew he's strong. That time she couldn't fight because of her injured leg. This time it's double, her leg as well as her arm. She needs tactics to defeat him. Mere strength will not work on him.

He looked at Cressida astoundingly. Thinking what's wrong with him to give a gold coin for a test. Nodding, he pulled out a burner and placed the wax on it. Dipping a piece of paper in the liquid he used previously, he placed it above the flame of the wax. The paper begins to turn blue and burned down. Enlarging his eyes, the man stared at Cressida with surprising fear in his eyes.

All the girls turned to face her. They moved back together, fearing Cressida standing there. Looking at them one after another, Cressida noticed, they were all young and beautiful. Something was definitely dubious here.

She nodded, then he continued. "When the candles started to burn, the flames they released were poisonous." Cressida gaped at him and asked. "How are you alive then?"

She was standing in the middle of the forest. The night was dark and cold. Howling sounds were echoing around her. Stretching her hand forward, she touched nowhere in the air, staring in the darkness. It looks like she lost something in the dark, the darkness that ate up her beloved ones. Her eyes clouded and tears rolling down her cheek. Falling on her knees, she kept her palms on the ground, slowly the ground was turning into water and the forest turned into a lake. She could see the image of their castle in the water. When she tried to touch the image, it scattered and she abruptly opened her eyes.Looking around in the dimly illuminated chamber, she realized it's Vidarr's chamber. Turning her head to the left, she could see Vidarr sleeping soundlessly. Pulling off the sheets, she dropped her legs down the bed. The dizziness in her eyes made her head heavy. She massaged her forehead with her fingers. Her gaze fell on her wrist, where a white cloth was tied on it. Remembering the ritual, she hastens towards the bath area. Crouching down by the water, she faced her back towards it. Viewing the reflection of her back in the water, she tightened her fist in anger. Facing the water, she stooped forward and looked closely at her mirroring eyes."What are you doing?" Vidarr asked, lifting the curtain of the bath. He could see her back covered under her long black hair. Turning to face him, she stood up. The expression on her face was displeasing. He never saw her as irritated as she was now. Letting go of the curtain, he walked towards her. Touching her cheek with her palm, he looked closely at her. She gritted her teeth under his touch and snapped his hand off her face. Glancing at his hand and her face, he frowned and she slapped him. He looked at her with astonishment. "What's wro-" Cutting her sentence, she spoke. "Why did you interrupted?""You know you are not strong enough to gain the power." He raised his voice at her.Pushing him away, she scoffed a smile at him. There was a supercilious look on her face "Who are you to judge that?""I'm your brother and your knight, I have all right to protect you."Grinning at him, she walked close to him with her hands folded against her chest. "I don't consider you my brother and as for the knight, I know you aren't even 14 yet, ou are hardly 13 which doesn't make you a night." Looking into his eyes she blinked and moved sideways to leave. 'I'll leave you for good.' She thought.Holding her arm, he dragged her in front of her. Placing his hand on the back of her head and fingers lost in her hair, he pulled her head closer. "Stop this right now." He spoke on her face, too close that she could feel his warm breath against her lips. Smiling she shook her head. Letting go off her, he stepped back and raised his hand to hit on the side of her neck to faint her down. Dodging it, she crouched down and hit his knee with her palm. Imbalanced, he placed his fist on the ground. Rising his head, he glared at her. For a moment, she was captured in his eyes. When he took a long forward step, she jumped back in defense. Moving to the left he blocked her way. At her back was the water and at the front was him."Why are you doing this?" He asked."To be strong." "You don't need to, I'll be your sword."'And I want to be your shield.' She thought.Vidarr took a step closer, she dragged her leg back. They were looking into each other's eyes. He wanted to find out what those gloomy orbs of her were holding. She wanted to save the shine that his eyes were holding. He fears for her death, she was afraid he might leave. He desired to keep her with him, she needs to distance him before he leaves. He can't love the love of his life. She can't leave the breath she breathes. He is the moon of her life, she is the desire that he denies.Their long gaze was interrupted when a maid came running to announce tragic news. Turning towards her, they could see a miserable expression on her face."What's wrong?" Leserli asked, her voice sounded stern and commanding as usual. No one could guess what's happening inside her. Vidarr was looking at Leserli. His mind was still running on the ritual of her. He could tell how weak she has gotten and how pale she looks."The first queen.." The maid said in between her heavy breaths. "What happened?" Vidarr asked while Lerserli didn't wait for the answer and hurried out of the chamber. Vidarr followed her.Leserli swung open the door to her mother's chamber. Her father, the second queen, and all the sister were already present. Rushing in, she looked at her mother who was lying on the bed. On seeing Leseri, she looked up at her and smiled warmly. Worried, Leserli sat on her knees beside her bed, her sweven was occurring in her mind. Is this why she was crying? Is this the loss? Questions were building up in her mind. She shook her head to avoid her mind to make up any more questions."What happened, mother?" She asked."What did you see?" The queen asked, reading her face. Everyone in the room looked at her. Looking at her mother, she faintly shooked her head. She can't lie in front of her mother. Thought she lied to her father about one sweven, she can't when it's her mother. The king turned her by her hand to face him."What was it?" He asked.Breaking down a tear dropped down her cheek, taking everyone by surprise. They never saw Leserli cry, not even years ago when she was hanging on the string of death."Vidarr.." The first queen called him. He walked towards her bed and stood beside Leserli, the queen forwarded her hand to him. Holding her hand, he stooped forward. "I believe that you will be a brave knight, protect this kingdom, and Leserli."Her words ranged in Leserli, the flash on their kingdom drowning in the lake appeared in her mind. Turning towards her mother, she spoke. "Don't leave us." The queen smiled at her only daughter. The first queen didn't have any child for a long time. When the king re-married and had 6 daughters then the first queen was gifted with Leserli who was blessed with the same powers as she had."Father, Why aren't you calling Savant?" Leserli shouts.The second queen came and raised Leserli from the ground. "We called him, she doesn't have much time.""What happened?" Leserli faced her, her eyes clouded with tears. Everyone in the room was quiet. The first queen took Leserli's hand and pulled her on the bed beside her. Leserli looked down at her mother. "Leserli kaiser, you have to carry on now. Be the vessel of the power that you invoke." Startled on her words, her eyes widened. "How do you know?" She said.Smiling at her daughter, she looked at Vidarr, Then at her husband and other daughters."Mother!" Leserli shouts but there was no response from her. "Mother!!" She screamed louder. Shooking her by her shoulders, Leserli screamed again. "Mother wake up!!" The king asked Vidarr to take Lerserli out of the room. Holding her by her arm, Vidarr tried to lift her. Jerking her hand off, Leserli shook her mother. Holding her shoulders from back, Vidarr tried to lift her by force. Turning around, she glared at him. Widening his eyes, Vidarr murmured, "no, Leserli." Everyone in the room gaped at her. Her furious eyes, the crimson color of it, the flower pattern on it. Her eyes changed again, appearing the same as it was in the cave."No, Leserli." Vidarr shook her.'Look here." The king said. Raising her crimson orbs, she glanced at the king than Vidarr. Turning her around, he swept her hair to the side, he could feel her body burning hot under his touch. The crimson flower pattern was shimmering on her back. Glancing Vidarr through her shoulder. "I told you not to touch me." She said and fainted in her arms.····················LOCKHART.

Crouching down, Vidarr slashed the soldier's leg. Turning around he stood up and hit the other soldier under the chin with the pommel of his sword. He then jumped and pulled out a bow, shooting at the running soldier towards him. When another soldier raised his sword from behind, Vidarr turned around and defended with a scabbard, making the soldier's sword fly in the air. Breathing heavily, he stood straight and sheathed back his swords. Wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, he looked up. The king of the south was standing in the window of a tower, looking down at his practice. Though he was officially announced as the knight of the 'Kaiser's', the king is never satisfied with him. He was the youngest to gain the title of a noble night. Vidarr tilted his head to hide the blazing sun behind the tower, hoping to read the look of the king's face. When the king's gaze met with Vidarr's, he turned around and shut the window. Ending his practice, he asked the soldiers to disperse.Entering his chamber, he slammed the iron door and leaned back on the stone wall of his chamber. He was leaving in a new chamber particularly assigned for the noble knights. Unbelting his sword, he threw it on the bed and walked straight to the bath. Asking every maid to leave, he undressed and entered in the steamy water. Viewing his reflection in the water, he removed the eye patch and looked thoroughly at his face. His colored eyes, light skin, and brown curls reaching shoulders. Covering his right eye, he looked at the reflection of the left eye. Removing his hand, he covered his left eye and looked at the right one. Inhaling a heavy breath, he drowned in the water, spending some moment underwater, he shows up on the surface. Closing his eyes, he rested his head back. 'Why am I different?' He thought. In his family, he was the only son and the youngest one. The king has two wives and all the seven daughters. None of them have eyes similar to his, nor he has dark hair like them. His sisters neither love him nor the king. Except for Leserli, there is no one he can call his own. Thinking of her, made him want to see her. He was afraid to see her. He calls her sister, but she was no longer a sister for him.Coming out of the water, he puts on a trouser and a nylon shirt. Rubbing his hair with a cloth he tied them back and opened the drawer to pull out an eye patch. His hands stopped when his gaze fell on his old hat. After having eyepatch as a present from Leserli, he never wore his hat. Picking the hat, he wore it and strode out of his chamber. Unable to find Leserli in her room, he searched for her in the throne room, then in other rooms. While he was passing from his sister's room, she called her. He stopped and turned to face her. She was the fourth sister."Searching your beloved sister?" She asked sarcastically."Aren't you one too?" Vidarr said."Don't call me your sister, you are a disgrace." She said with a gross face. Ignoring her, he pulled down his hat and turned to walk away."I know where she is." She called at his back. He stopped on his track. When she didn't say anything else, he resumed his walk."At least ask where." He didn't respond. "Ah! There is no fun teasing you, disgrace!" She snapped then yelled. "Someone is waiting for you in the throne room." She flapped her hair and walked into her chamber.Entering in a throne room, he saw two ladies waiting at the round table of flowers. One was a young lady while the other was an elderly woman. On seeing Vidarr, the elderly lady clapped her hands and wore a bright smile on her face.''Oh beautiful boy, come here."Untying his hair, he covered his eyes with a hat. He was insecure without his eyepatch, his long hair helps him to coverup. Seeing his different look, the lady hesitated for a moment before pulling him in a hug. The young lady waved a shy 'hi' at him, he nodded in response."My daughter wants to meet you. She's a big lover of the noble knight." The elderly lady said and brings her daughter forward. She smiled at him, he averted his eyes. Both the ladies shared glances with each other, then the elderly lady spoke."You kids have a talk, I'll wait in the public garden outside the door" She then whispered to her daughter, "he may be shy." And left them to talk."Umm.." She began to speak. Vidarr raised his gaze and looked into her eyes. She widened her eyes on noticing his eyes. With astonishment, she placed her fingers on her mouth."If you excuse." He pulled down his hat and left the throne room. She stood in stupefaction and watched him go. Gulping hard, she took a deep breath when he disappeared from her sight.Vidarr twitched the side of his lips in a smile. It was the first time he faced someone directly eyes to eyes. Seeing her reaction entertained him. 'I should often show myself to others, it's fun to see their reaction.' He thought. Entering into Leserli's room, he called a maid and asked where she was. Vidarr was surprised at the maid's answer. 'Why did she went there?' Because he surprised someone today, he got a sock in return. The first queen always says you get what you sow. Leaving the room, he walked out of the castle. He was infatuated to see Leserli that he didn't even wear armor nor took his sword before leaving the castle. Striding out, he took a horse from the stable and rode straight into the woods behind the castle. Speeding up his horse, he was thinking of her, her everyday tease, and her never-ending smile. It's only been a night and half a day he didn't saw her. Let alone leaving without her is unthinkable for him. Passing the woods he went to the mountains. The chilly breeze blowing around. His eyes sparkling bright as always. With the heavy wind his hat flew away, he slowed down his horse, then leaving it behind he paced up his speed. The spur of the moment suddenly reminded him of his seven. He didn't tell Leserli about it. He isn't even sure, whether he saw it or not. He knew swevens are sacred and cannot be seen by anyone. But his remembered sweven and the incident was speaking something.Halting in the middle of the mountains, he looked around. Jumping down from the horse, he slung back his hair and wander his eyes in search of the cave. He was unaware of the location, never have been here. He had only heard it from Leserli. Seeing a random cave, he went into it. Except for spider webs and some insects, he found nothing. Exiting that, he went into another one, where some growling sound echoed. Time marched by while he was searching. The sun was setting on the horizon and the sky was losing its colors. He didn't let go of his search and entered again in another cave. A dim light was visible from inside. Going further, the ignition of light looks like a candle. Getting closer, he saw another lighted candle. The deeper he goes, the more candles he sees. Following the candles, he halted at one spot. Running his hands in his hair, he slung them back and walked forward steadily.Leserli was sitting on a stone with her legs crossed and bareback. The stone was encircled by distinct flowers. Her hand was stretched forward, blood dripping from the cut on her wrist. He stepped forward, then stopped when a pattern begins to appear on the ground beneath her. It was a pattern of a flower slowly forming its shape. His eyes moved from the ground to her bareback, were the same pattern was appearing. He whispered her name but she didn't respond. Pulling her hand back, she placed her palms of her knees. Looking down at the pattern, he circled around it and halted when he was exactly in front of her. She was wearing a long backless silk gown, sitting with her closed eyes and back straight like a stick. Moving closer to her, he crouched down. A small plant was grown in front of her, having a maroon flower bud. He touched the flower bud with his index finger."Don't touch me," Leserli said, Her eyes were still close. From a closer look, she looks paler than before."Can you see me?" Vidarr asked.She suddenly opened her eyes. Instead of the black iris, there was a crimson ball, with a white flower pattern on the pupil of the eyes. He flinched back and called her name aloud. She blinked, her eyes turned normal. "Vida-" Before she could speak, he held her hand and pulled her closer. Wrapping his hands around her, he engulfed her in a tight hug.........LOCKHART.

Sliding down, she slowly opened her eyes. Her upper form being traced by his captured arm. Gulping he closed his eyes, feeling the taces of the soft touch. Slipping close, she moved above him. Her soft chest pressed against his bare torso. He dare not to open his eyes, the thin silk gown between their bodies, was hard enough to conceal anything. The sliding caused the cloth to rolled up which was complimenting the situation.
