Chapter 51 -- Soul

Two days passed at Lord Cardis's palace. I did nothing but lie down on my bed the entire day. And at night, I could see the flames burning the villages near the borders. I would clench the sides of my dress, ripping them and making my palms bleed.

I had no idea how long Lord Cardis was planning to hurt his own people. I wondered if he was making those attacks on the other species along with the wolves. At this rate, there would be a war among all the species, and the world would be in chaos.

I could not do anything. The witches and the wizards assisting Lord Cardis were too much for me to beat alone. I couldn't even break the barrier around the palace.

Lord Cardis had sent Arendt a lot of times to ask me to have meals with him. I declined every time. As time passed, I did not even want to see his face.

I wondered what Xavier was doing. It was not even a week without his touch, and my entire body was burning with thirst.
