Queen Rionach’s cries seeped through the cracks of old Oberon Castle.
Along with the cold morning air, her screams reached Valda’s
chamber. The young girl fell from her bed, scrambling, terrified. She
ran to the door, her tiny ear pressed to the thick wood. There were footsteps
on the other side, and she wondered if she should peek out. She wasn’t
supposed to. Her mother had always told her to stay inside her chamber if
she were to hear racket outside. Yet the queen never mentioned anything
about what to do if she was the one making the racket. Valda pulled on the
latch and opened the door. The guards on each side looked at her, surprised
to see her up.
She wasn’t supposed to do that. She wasn’t supposed to leave her room,
not at this time. She was supposed to wait for a chambermaid to wake her
up.
But her mother needed her.
Ignoring their questioning gazes, Valda ran down the hall as fast as her
short legs would allow her. The guards followed her, their armors clattering
behind her. The grand chamber wasn’t far from hers, but tonight, it felt like
it was. The guards that normally stood by the grand chamber were missing.
A rare occurrence must’ve happened for them not to be there. As Valda
pushed the door open, her confusion cleared up when she saw the chief
general of the Skylian army.
Arwin turned to her, his face battered, bruised, and tired. His leather
armor was torn and useless. Valda’s nose scrunched at the smell of blood; a
distinctive scent she could recognize at only six years old.
“Valda…” His hoarse voice dropped to a whisper.
“Is she here?”
Valda focused her attention on her mother. The young woman sat on the
edge of the bed; her face tear drenched. The young girl opened her mouth,
but Arwin picked her up. The smell of blood was stronger, so Valda pushed
him away.
Thankfully, her mother stood from the bed and pulled her from the
general’s arms. Valda welcomed the teary kiss and wrapped her arms
around her neck, hiding away from Arwin and his ravaged demeanor.
“What happened to him?” Queen Rionach asked, her hand gently stroking
Valda’s back.
“You need to come to the throne room,” Arwin answered.
Rionach’s hold on Valda tightened. The young girl turned to look at her
and then at Arwin, whose expression saddened as they made eye contact.
“What happened to my mate, Arwin?!”
He didn’t answer. Instead, he focused on Valda. She moved in her
mother’s arms uncomfortably. Arwin had a scary face. Though many
chambermaids called him handsome, she couldn’t find a fragment of beauty
in his visage. The left side of his face had been marred.
“Arwin, what happened to Brontes?”
He shook his head. “I am here for you. They need you in the throne room
