Must Read: A Broken Destiny: The Sword Of Vengeance

**************************
Here he goes once again; storming out of his room enraged and then walks into the beautiful garden at the compound to just stare at the amazing plants till late into the night before returning to his room. It’s been seven days since he left my room with that witch and ever since he has been acting strangely.
He stays in his room all day receiving teachings from his teachers; the witch seems to spend more time with him though. She is becoming closer to him as I now see them talk more often and in most cases I hear laughter from his room whenever she was in there. Her interest in Kieran is really worrying as he doesn’t visit me as he usually does. Whenever I visit him, he barely speaks to me, and when I get too close to him, he gently pushes me back. I just couldn’t understand what was wrong with him, that witch must have done something that night she led him from my room, I should have never allowed her to take him.

My mission was already failing as I cannot say if he is getting powerful or he has simply found another body to please. I thought I was making progress when I found a way to keep the other sorceress from him but I have only opened the door for another to take her place.
I know little or nothing about this witch and getting information from the women has been next to impossible as it seems they hate me even more than the witch, which is strange.

Why would they hate one of their own with so much passion? But then the hate for her didn’t make them tell me what I was eager to know.
I have matters eating me up apart from Kieran’s sudden change, especially the involvement of the northern kingdom in all of this.

The ease by which they allowed Kieran to escape into this dry lands for instance, there is something wrong in that. I mean why get yourself involved in something that risky and then fail and make your enemy aware of the plan you have to take them down in the first place. The north is obviously up to something, I believe a spy just like me is here, who is watching Kieran just as I am.

Now, I know the witch isn’t that spy as the fellow wouldn’t want to expose him/herself like I have done, but then I will have that at the back of my mind. My priority now is how I am going to get that hunter to trust me again.

“You are allowing Ellen take up your space in his heart. He is taking the venom she has in her, do what you are supposed to do and leave that hole you call a room!” Mother said to me the other day, slamming a book of hers to the wall.

She was angry but I don’t know why she was throwing the anger at me. It’s not my fault that Kieran seems to get attracted to things and people that are bound to destroy him. I am his teacher but I shouldn’t be the one making decisions for him and neither should anyone of us here. We can only show him the way and it’s his choice to follow that path or look away. He is a grown man and should be of the same age with some of us here. I think she should stop with trying too hard to make Kieran do what she wants, he owns her nothing. Let him do what he wants to do.

Many lives might be on his shoulders but he has his own to live also, she of all people should understand that. I don’t like the fact that she is trying to make me compete with whoever on his heart, I don’t like him and I will use my time to do something more worthwhile than put an arrogant man in my thoughts. I have my hands full already with that gordand he brought with him, not that the mocking has stopped. I have watching the woman and it didn’t take too long for her to reveal her plans by writing to her master. She relayed everything to him, missing no detail. Whoever she was writing to replied her with a strange message, telling her to hate him and love Kieran which made no sense to me.
Why would he tell her to hate him and urge her to love the man he wants watched? I have tried to follow her and see if she has followed those instructions but it seems she is losing that battle to Ellen, which is good news to me but mother doesn’t seem to like it.

For some reason, mother doesn’t see the gordand as a threat but she is more worried about Ellen and whatever venom she is feeding Kieran. I was returning from the library when I saw mother, she looked at me and then turned towards one of the windows on the passage way.

I followed her lead and saw Richard staring at the flowers yet again. I knew what she wanted me to do and so, quickly, I went the stairs and walked calmly to where he was. He didn’t bother to look at me and instead continued to stare at the plants.
“You have been distant.” I said to him.
“I have been busy.” He replied me. The tone of his voice was cold and I think I sensed some rage in it. What’s with the rage the last few days? Whenever I am with him, he is always angry and even his other teachers have complained about that to mother.
“You had better kill that rage in you. It won’t do you any good.” What I said didn’t seem to augur well with him, he turned his gaze at me and his cold stare made me move back a little from him.
“Aren’t you tired of the deaths around you? Of The innocents who have died and will still die.

Look around you, there are more houses than occupants in this town and still more and more still leave to a better place. Every day you lose the gifted to the world of evil, and more of these gifted are killed for the greed and pleasure of other powerful people. Should all these evil make one smile and laugh? I lost my family and you lost yours too. I won’t allow others lose theirs when I can stop it from happening, and I will.”
I was surprised at what he said and wondered who must be telling him all this nonsense.

He has the potential to defeat Lucien but right now he hasn’t develop his powers enough for him to be able to draw a single blood from the mad king.
“You must be a fool if you think you can defeat Lucien now. You will only give yourself willingly to him, Eric thought……..”
“ I am not Eric. I am far more powerful than he will ever dream to be. Why am I even speaking with you? A sorceress who knows nothing, a sorceress who doesn’t know that the man bestowed to her has since die.” He said, cutting me off.

What does he mean by that? How does know that my Eric is no more? I turned his face rather harshly from the flowers he was staring at and asked,
“How did you know of Eric’s death?”
He pulled away from me and said,
“Ellen knew him and she was the last person he saw before he died.”
That witch knew about Eric and she didn’t say a word about it to me but deemed it fit to tell a man who it didn’t concern. I left the gardens and walked briskly to Ellen’s room. I ignored Kieran’s calls to come back. That witch must tell me all she knows about my Eric else one of us won’t see the sun tomorrow.
ELLEN
*************************
“Has he been able to mix his rage with his gift?” mother asked.
“No, he is trying but he still doesn’t know that it’s his emotions that fuel his gift. He thinks he is like every other gifted person that just calls out words and spells to perform magic. He learns very slowly but then I think it’s all an act. He has something planned in his mind that he is hiding under the mask of obedience to me. He is up to something that I do not know about.”
Mother didn’t look pleased when I said that,
“He is hiding his real self from you. Find out what he is hiding through any means possible, sleep with him if you must. I want results; we are running out of time.”
