A King's Mistress (ON HOLD)

Zarina and Zamora

"Over my dead body." Troy sneered. 

"Dead is exactly what we will all be if we do not listen to her." My eyes found Aryk who stood just in front  of the barrier along with Doren and Chael.

"You are stepping dangerously assassin. Watch your words." Alxander's eyes glared into Aryk's eyes who just stared back at him.

"We don't take orders from you boy." Doren spoke in an annoyed manner. 

"We take orders from the King." Chael said next. Aryk stood still as he let his friends speak before turning his attention back to Troy.

"She knows a way out. We have nothing to lose as of now. We should listen to her King O'Siren." He spoke calm and direct as if he had not spoken out of turn to a man who could put chains on him for the rest of his life.

"Nasya!" I turned at the sound of Asani's voice. She had her head in her palms, Mitus appearing beside her. I turned to the Knights.

"Neema take those men to the last tunnel and find a way out." My eyes found Alxander as I wanted him as far away from me as possible. "Go with them." He stood still for seconds before he finally moved.

"What is happening?" Aryk asked as his eyes moved over me and to Asani who was still in pain.

"It is coming." I stood in front my King. "You will take Asani and go left. It is safer there and she will be able to guide you and these men." His jaw clenched hard, his pride trying to overtake him, but he was no fool. Aryk's words spoke true as I was indeed the only way out. I didn't stay long enough to see if he listened to my words or not, at this moment I had no care in the World for his thoughts.

"We will stand here. Long enough for Neema to find a way out. She will make portals and see where they lead." I looked to Nikoli and half a dozen men, not including Aryk and his men who stood beside me. Nikoli's face was one of uncertainty and hurt, I wanted to go to him and explain but I couldn't. Liya walked over to me.

"The King left." I nodded as I felt a shortness of breath.

"It's here." My words lifted into the cave as we all tensed, swords at the ready, Liya's hands outstretched, and my mind open. The dust swirled beneath our feet as a gentle song before the stoned soldiers appeared. Liya's hands shot out and a force shot out and cut them in half.

"To the floor!" We all scattered and rolled as the cloud came from above. I shot out a barrier, one not as strong as it only covered I and the three men next to me. Liya covered everyone else. I trembled as the cloud pushed on top of us with a strange force of gravity. Stoned soldiers appeared around us. The men taking their swords and swiping at their feet.

"I can't hold it!" Liya yelled out and I screamed in pain as my barrier broke and the entity entered me once more.

Foolish girl of unknown power! Be gone with your foul trepass!

"Get out of my body." I bit out as I felt a warmness fill my stomach. Pushing up as if I could feel the entity being pulled out of me. I groaned as slowly the cloud released my body. The warm energy still in my essence. I breathed deeply as I pulled a dagger from my back and sliced a stoned man in half.

They kept coming. Piles and piles of dust swarmed around us, Liya using her surroundings to her advantage. Forcing energy at them and having barriers cover us all. Entities entered me at various moments during the long battle. My mind while opened was being plagued by the harsh emotions coming from it.

I was starting to feel rage. Absolute rage, my body shaking as I continued to be violently entered all the while slashing at the enemy. I turned to the men behind me to see them fallen, struggling to fight back. Aryk had fallen to the floor and my body reacted before my mind. I walked forward creating a barrier in front of him and the others.

"Get up my assassin." I looked to him as I calmly held my barrier strong as I was still angered by this source of energy. "I'd hate to have my King get rid of you." He stood up as I pushed my barrier forwards, causing the force to shatter the stoned soldiers.

"Yes that would be very unfortunate." His body close to mine, but I could not revel in the warmth and safety of his presence.

I could not do this because an excruciating pain entered my stomach. I screamed as I felt my blood boil. I gripped onto Aryk as I saw my life force form once more before my eyes. The ball growing bigger and pulsing rapidly, my eyes burned at the color of it. Far away I heard the shouts of men, screaming that a way out had been found. But still, I clung to Aryk.

"Nasya, what are you doing?" I looked to him in fear. It wanted to be released, as if I held it at bay. As if I caged it. I staggered away and held my hands over the living source in front of me.

"Get down!" Liya yelled out as I flung the ball forward. It widened in the air as it stretched across the area. It shattered every stoned soldiers, burning the cloud above us as an eerie scream released from it, and created a hole in the cave around us.

Silence filled the now still air as eyes fell upon me and the weight of the amount of fear and rage it took to control my life force I had put on myself. I swayed uncontrollably, tilting off balance as Aryk caught me by my waist. I leaned into him exhausted when I started to hear the whispers. Sounds of men and women, some even screaming. I walked shakily forward, my hand dragging Aryk along behind me. Walking through the large hole I created, it seemed my energy blasted through walls that found us in the middle of Nathoria.

We stood surrounded by rumble and stained walls of soot. Cracked stoned tables, shattered glass, and charred drapery laid before us. I realized that the dust minds were an illusion itself. Nathoria was never past Damaris, it sat here, hidden. The dust minds were Nathoria.

You shouldn't be here. I flinched as I felt the words barge into my mind. My eyes falling upon two young girls of the age 13. The girls stood very still, waiting for something. Their features matching exactly to one another. Their white long hair and their blackest of eyes resembled Aleena, the first Seer was uncanny.

"You controlled the soldiers. The clouds." I stated.

"No. She did." I shivered at her voice as it felt too raw to be real. The girl who had just spoken tilted her head to the girl on the left.

"She saw you coming." This time the girl on the left pointed to the on the right.

"What are your names?" Aryk asked stepping forward, putting his hand on the small of my back.

"Zamora." The one on the right.

"Zarina." The one on the left.

I realized that one was a Witch and the other a Seer, yet they moved as one. Talked and thought as one single being, but here were two of them. The looks of them alone was rare. I looked to Aryk as he studied the girls in deep concentration. Turning back around, I suddenly gasped as I took a step back.

Prince Merida stood in front of me as an apparition. His eyes sunken and his body thin.

"You See him don't you?" My eyes shot to the one who spoke. The one on the right, Zamora. "You should not be able to do that." I stared at her as the Prince disappeared in the wind.

"What do you mean?"

"We both shouldn't be able to See someone who is in another World."
