Must Read: A Broken Destiny: The Sword Of Vengeance

ELLEN
**************************
Pleasing mother can be very difficult, which is why I have never been the type that’s eager to please anyone because it’s just impossible.
I left her chambers after she instructed me to find whatever her dear Kieran is hiding. Showing him the bed of the fallen was mother’s idea, she had hoped it will finally bring out that rage he has been trying really hard to suppress.
It worked though which leaves me to wonder just how much this woman knows about this man.
I am aware she has been watching him since his birth but she always seems to know how to bring out so many things I am certain his dead wife never knew about him. Telling me now to sleep with him if that’s what it will take to know his plans shows her desperation. The thought of her having some twisted plans for the hunter has since been gaining momentum in my mind.
Why has she put it upon herself to be this man’s guide and teacher? What does she really want with the man? Surely, it can’t just be about saving the innocent or putting an end to the tyranny of the mad king? If that was her intention she would have had him brought in here when he was younger where he could have been easily shaped to whatever she desires of him.
Why wait till now when he is older or better still after the death of his family? Why wait until Lucien attacked his family before sending for him?
Her decisions concerning the hunter have a lot of holes. Kieran could have easily been captured or even killed by either kings of both kingdoms and if Lucien wanted him, he would have had him by now. What game is he playing this time and most importantly, what are the intentions of the mother guardian? I was unable to provide an answer to that question as heavy knocks rained on my door. I opened the door to find a scary looking Claudia. She pushed me back into my room the moment she saw me and shut the door with quite some force but the impact was reduced by Kieran who followed closely behind one of his teachers. What was going on here? Why is Claudia enraged and Kieran putting on a weak smile on his face? He stayed at the door while his teacher pulled out a chair from the table and placed it in front of me. She sat on it and asked ordered me to sit on the bed. I did, not because I was scared of her but because Kieran nodded for me to do.

“How did you come to know Eric?” she asked with a tone of arrogance. I knew what she was talking about as I knew this day would come, but I decided to play around.

“Which Eric are you talking about?” I asked in return. My question only increased her rage and it took quite some control from her not to strike me with some spell. She decided to talk instead,
“The Eric you watched die, you snake.” She retorted. I was really disappointed with her choice of words but then I would have said more hurting words if I got to know how the man I Ioved die from the lips of a stranger. I gave Kieran an angry look and he replied by just smiling again. I will surely punish him later.

“Eric died in my arms and he made me promise to watch and keep you safe. He realized he should have stayed with you instead of going after death which he later got. He didn’t want me to tell you how he died but now that you know, I will relay everything.” She nodded, so I continued.

“When we met, he already had his plans in place to kill Lucien. I tried to stop him after we were attacked by gordands sent by the mad king himself but he was quite confident in his plans.

He succeeded in getting the king isolated but he was in a hurry to enact his vengeance and went after him alone. He should have waited for me; perhaps, together we would have had a chance.

He didn’t wait and Lucien defeated him with ease and punished him by conjuring a spell that prevents anyone from healing his fatal injuries.

He died trying to bring justice to his mother’s killer but what he was only able to achieve was leave the woman he should be protecting all alone and join his mother in the underworld.

I hate men and I still do but in Eric, I found a disciplined and principled man. He was a good man and could have been a good husband but the wrong emotions consumed him.”
I finished with my story and expected her to lash at me but she didn’t. She just kept staring at me as tears flowed down her beautiful face. She later stood up and ran from my room weeping and cleaning mucus from her nose. Kieran tried to comfort her but she hit him hard on his face. He left her alone and returned to my room.

“You are a fool for telling her what you should have left for me to tell.” I told the silly hunter angrily. He didn’t mind my tone but instead continued to smile.


“Stop smiling and get out of my room, I don’t want to see right now.” He chuckled and came closer to me. I was beginning to get uncomfortable with his strange behavior.

“You hate men yet I have occupied your thoughts long before I got here. You hate men but you long to have me inside you.” he said, coming closer and closer to me with each word.

He was after something which I don’t know but I am certain it’s not my body as that was just a ruse. I must be careful with my words.


“Well, you are a very intriguing man, besides you are a wizard too.” He smiled and suddenly took hold of my arms.

“Since I got to know about my powers, everyone who has gotten close to me wants me for something and you are not exempted. I have tried the last few days to know your true intentions for me as you seem to know quite a number of things even my wife didn’t know of me.

You used my desire to get me to sleep the first time we met, you seem to anticipate my next moves and you are very accurate for comfort,

you know about my emotions and how they affect my entire being. All these I am certain I never told anyone. So, I am going to ask this only once; who are you and what do you want from me?”
