Chapter 17

"What do you mean he's not here?" The words were fuzzy. Mesu felt like she was still dreaming. Nightmares occurred one after another. The deaths of her family and closest friends were replayed in her mind with ways she knew weren’t real. A lot of the destruction she...

Chapter 16

It was clear that the things living here didn’t want to be disturbed. Mesu was panting as Tai, Anna, and she ran down the corridor and hid at a dead end. It was hard to see down here, and they counted on the dim light of torches scattered along passages. The monsters...

Chapter 15

Breaking down camp and breakfast was always quick. Mesu was used to the speed of the mornings, and her days now started before sunrise. She had noted that Anna was not an early riser. Working at the bar didn’t call for early prep. A lot of the tasks could be started...

Chapter 14

Their travels brought them closer to Eberdeen by a couple of days. Mesu was surprised that hunting down relics and facing so much danger didn’t pay well. It was no wonder Enya had so many stories, she thought. The group was camped outside of Waman, a small village...

Mesu sighed. She couldn’t tell if she was relieved that the job was over or frustrated that there could be more. Zoe assured her that her group would join them the rest of the way. That deal came with the possibility of being sidetracked with more quests like this....

Mesu followed closely. They had arrived faster than she had expected. Em had already gathered a layout of what they were looking at infiltrating. There were more guards than Em had first told them about. Zoe had thought that more might have been called in after a...

Chapter 1

A liquid trickled down her chin, but she couldn't tell if it was sweat, blood, or a blend of both. She felt the sweat coating her body. It caused the hilt of her sword to slip in her grip, prompting her to hold on tighter. She squeezed her other hand, missing the...

Chapter 2

Mesu circled the clearing, staying behind the tree line. A pile of ash and debris lay where her home once was. The sight brought tears to Mesu's eyes. She was surprised there was any more in her. The last three days were filled with crying and blinking, reminding her...

Chapter 3

The village was bustling with activity. It was one that Mesu had visited before. Lawan was the name, she recalled. It was scarier this time. She wished for her mother's or father's hand for safety. That comfort was a thing of the past. Mesu didn’t dare go back to her...

Chapter 4

The old lady nodded. Mesu was irritated. She had expected a bigger response when she had broken the news of her discovery. "There is not much in life that surprises me anymore. Owning this place, I have heard many stories come through. Usually, that’s all they are,...

Chapter 5

"Look, I don't think having Anna along is a good idea. Honestly, I am going to struggle to keep myself alive. Am I really going to have to babysit her?" The old woman laughed as the girls finished up their morning meal in the inn. The conversation had gone on for a...

Chapter 6

"How’s the writing going?" Mesu asked through a smirk as Anna flipped through the pages. "It’s fine." Anna’s voice had a hint of annoyance that Mesu was becoming too familiar with. She figured Anna wasn’t happy with the progress. Mesu continued to lay out her bedroll....

Chapter 7

Mesu was surprised to find a village along their path around the mountain. The feeling quickly changed as she and her traveling partner were thankful for the rest and a warm bed. A couple of days of camping out took a toll on her, along with a cut on her shoulder....

Chapter 8

The laughter at the table was infectious. Mesu and Anna walked into the Silver Deer thinking they would just be there to eat, drink, and sleep. After a couple of rounds, Anna had corrected someone about an Enya story, and the groups meshed together. Tale after tale...

Chapter 9

"You are not alone in your travels." The words still sent chills through Mesu's body. It was something that she knew. Anna had been by her side since the beginning and continued with her. "There is more than just one companion. Be aware of this one. They don’t have...

Chapter 10

The bed was more comfortable than the makeshift transport Mesu had been lying on for the last couple of days. The throbbing continued throughout her body, but she appreciated not being jostled around. She had minimal information about her new travel mates, except for...
