HEIR OF LIGHT Book1: The lost prince

CHAPTER 16

DERORA

The sun had began to show its irritating rays when she woke up, darathos flew low and scraped the trees,

"Derora, awake are we?" He said through the link,

"Yes, shouldn't have taken long to get to the village on air" derora replied while staring at the forests,

The trees were getting thinner and she saw signs of smoke in front, the veratus moved quietly through the forests while passing the rays of sunlight, they neither flinched nor burn, whatever she did to them made them stronger.

"We passed the village, no one was there, I traced their scent this way, two scents actually, the stronger went this way" darathos said,

If what he said was right, then it had to be the scent of the prince and his friends, but they were three,

"What does it smell like?" she asked,

"A male and a female, the male is stronger" he said,

It had to be the prince and the girl, where was the fey prince?,

"Do you smell any other being, stronger one at the village?" she asked,

"No, why?" he said,

"An accomplice of mine was there" derora replied as her thoughts wandered away,

Where could the fey prince be?, a thought went through her head, could he had taken the girl?, no, darathos said he sensed the girl, he might had escaped when she disappeared, anyhow, she would find him.

The village got into view, it looked like a lazy town to derora,

"Your orders derora" a veratu said,

"Raze the town, find the creatures" she replied giving them a mental image of the Prince and his friends,

They moved in, her veratus, immune to the rays of aethers light, sworn to derora alone,

"Shall we?" Darathos said, burning with the need to kill,

she smiled and sat upright, her sword stretching its dark wisps in anticipation of a massacre,

"Yes we shall" she replied as darathos overshadowed the town and rained down flames, derora sat, waiting for her prey....

TERRENA

The night was cold, wolves howling in the distance, jason laid on the ground, floating on a pool of blood, his blood, daren stared in shock,

"How could you?!" He whispered,

terra stared at him in confusion, she wanted to talk but couldn't, in the distance stood a figure she remembered well,

Derora......

Jason grabbed her, his eyes emitting pain,

Terra stared at her hands,

They were covered in blood,

Jasons blood .......

"I'm sorry!" she whispered,

her voice was strange, it sounded like a shattered pack of glass,

"You did this" jason croaked,

"Jason I'm sorry!!" she repeated, only louder,

"You're free terra, I broke the bond" she heard,
