Day 71 Darkness started to surround him and it filled every inch of the space. There was no light at all, no escape. The grumbling noise around him became louder, it sounded the thing making it was getting closer inch by inch. But then he heard it inside of his head, wickedly whispering to his mind, pushing through any barrier he was trying to make against it. It came to remind him about their bargain they've made many years ago, and about the consequences of him abandoning their agreement. He tried to escape, to cut all ties with the demon, he wanted to be free of it so he found himself commanding the thing to release him. But the demon's grip was firm on his soul and suddenly a flickering pain started to creep in his heart. He looked down on his chest and horrified at the sight of the deep hole in it. It was utterly empty. https://www.facebook.com/svanhaart/posts/1327033357335115:0

Day 69 The panic started to grow in the crowd what gathered on the square as the preacher went on with his speech, talking about the disase and the end of the world. They had to do something, but it couldn't be too conspicuous, that would only increase the chaos. So she started murmuring focusing all her powers to reach the preacher's mind, making him stop this hilarious show. When Eskar noticed what she was doing, fast as a cat stepped in front of her, wrapping his arm around her waist and pressed himself closely to her pretending they were a couple in love. It was all she needed to stay hidden from the people around them as she finished the casting and whipered the commands onto the elf's shoulder. https://www.facebook.com/svanhaart/posts/1324176580954126:0

Day 67 Her father was so proud of her when she finished her studies and started to work for the grand magister. She was class leader and they said she was a natural. Like she was born to use magic no one else could. Her kind and tender soul was calling to some ethereal force no one ever heard of. It replied only to her, letting her create almost miracle-like spells. She was loved and admired by everyone around her. And she loved her job. https://www.facebook.com/svanhaart/posts/1324164010955383:0

Day 63 The guards were trying their best to avoid her as she strode among them like they always did. She was in a bad mood that day and nobody could blame her for it. Guarding the gates was a humiliating task for her, even in an emergency they had that day. But she had to endure it like everyone else, because one mistake in the great hall could cause catastrophies later. So she kept her eyes on every man and woman slipping in and out of the entrances and noted the faces of everyone. https://www.facebook.com/svanhaart/posts/1316098968428554:0

Day 51 The guards were too far away so they wouldn't hear her screaming if she'd tried. She was completely alone that day, no one was attending to her chambers and he knew that. For all these weeks, she wouldn't believe her advisors's warning about the assassin in the city but there he was. He stood in the hallway just emerged from the shadows. She was surprised of course, but there was something more in her eyes beside the fear. She wasn't panicking. She was certain about her fate the moment he appeared but in the glaring sunshine he wasn't as intimidating as she would have thought. The light surrounded him like he was glowing and silly as it sounded but he looked like some angel who didn't came to murder her. Rather to save her from this life. https://www.facebook.com/svanhaart/posts/1304501859588265:0

Day 58 It was the third day and the king was expecting her soon. All the other competitors were working hard to figure out a formula that could work. But all of them were using only regular ingredients she already experienced with - without any success so far. So she had to come up with something special. She was famous about her talents, her extraordinary taste of pecularity but this competition was another level. Failure could cost her life. But she musn't think about that, not with so little time left. So she chopped one more mushroom and throw it into the cauldron. https://www.facebook.com/svanhaart/posts/1311113102260474:0
