Teaser:
(Note: This scene is told from Alaire’s POV and includes Alaire, Léal, and Rostland.)
We followed the noises and passed by more trees until Léal was in our sight. He performed a
spell which hit the tree in front of him. Rostland held me back and gestured he would advance first.
Slowly stepping forward, Rostland said, “Léal, you need to stop before you hurt yourself.”
He turned around and glared, but sweat covered his face and ran past his neck.
Léal replied, “You knew her for one year; I knew her for five. She kept saying time and time
again she was on my side, and I never once believed her until the end.”
Rostland took another step forward, but Léal raised his hand. I considered moving closer to help
if anything spun out of control, but I was confident in Rostland.
“Do you plan to kill me again? Come now, you’re making a fool out of yourself,” Rostland said
in a firm voice.
Léal whispered a word and cast a spell, causing a ice shard to strike through Rostland’s chest.
Every muscle in my body tensed, but Rostland quickly ripped the icicle out and threw it on the ground.
The icicle broke apart into pieces, and the two men stared at each other.
