Lost Hearts In the Shadow Realm
Battle for the heart
The air was still heavy with Seraphina's dark magic, as Kaelan and Lara were left alone in the forest Lara felt her heart racing not only from fear, but also from the questions circling in her head
Lara
What did she want from you?
she finally asked, her voice firmer than she felt.
Kaelan looked at her with dark eyes, his gaze seeming to penetrate her
He was silent for a moment, as if struggling with himself, before answering quietly
Kaelan
Seraphina and I were once bound... not by love, but by a pact
Kaelan turned around, running a hand through his hair
Kaelan
I was once the Prince of the Shadow Realm, but my father didn't want me on the throne, Seraphina offered me power in exchange for my soul
An icy shiver ran down Lara's spine
Kaelan
Not quite, she bound me to her... through blood magic. As long as her will is stronger than mine, I can't escape her
Lyara understood that Seraphina not only had power over Kaelan's body but also his fate. And yet here he was, at her side, as if he would fight anyway
Before she could ask further, an unnatural growl broke the silence of the night
Lara turned around suddenly figures emerged from the darkness shadowy beings with glowing red eyes
Kaelan
Seraphina sends her creatures
Kaelan
She wants to remind me who I belong to
Lara backed away as one of the shadow creatures approached her. It had no solid shape, just viscous darkness that formed into claws
But Lara felt something else awaken within her a fire deep in her soul
When the creature reached for her, she instinctively raised her hand. A blinding light flashed from her fingertips, throwing the creature backwards
Kaelan stared at her in surprise
Kaelan
You... can use light magic?
But there was no time for explanations. The shadows attacked, and Kaelan drew his sword, a blade of black metal blessed against the darkness itself. Together they fought - he with his deadly precision, she with a strength she was only now discovering.
With a final burst of light, the last creature dispersed and the night became silent again
Kaelan turned to her, his eyes full of emotion
Kaelan
Lara... you're not just a Healer
