Night of the Storm: An Epic Fantasy Novel (The Eura Chronicles Book 2) (29 page)

LIAM HELD LILAE IN
his arms, Rowe at one side, Nani at the other. The twins and the Shadow Elves waited behind.

Grand Master Neru met them in the Goblin City, ready for the quest ahead. By his side was his greatest pupil, Kenichi.

The young Shadow Elf man held Ayoki’s hand, a smile on both of their faces.

No one had to die.

This time.

Liam closed his eyes and kissed Lilae’s forehead. He would hold on tight to the ones he loved and never let go.

“Are you ready?” Delia asked, her hand firm on the stem of her staff.

Lilae and Liam nodded.

“We are ready,” Liam said, rubbing Lilae’s forearms.

They shared a look—one that gave him no doubts of her feelings for him. After the havoc Litha had set upon the Goblin City, everyone knew that everything was different.

What was coming to Ellowen would bring dark times, suffering, and death.

It also brought together a group that Liam was confident would face that threat admirably.

“Let’s go then, shall we?” Delia said, nodding to Vaugner who stood across from them in the center of the city.

He outstretched his staff, as did Delia, and together they created a portal that would transport Liam and his small army to the mysterious North of Eura.

Auroria.

“Step into the light,” Delia said. “I will be behind you and will close the Gate.”

Nodding, Liam stepped forward, Lilae’s hand within his.

Together, they said goodbye to the Goblin City, ready…for whatever Wexcyn sent their way.

He was powerful, a god, a master manipulator.

Liam was certain Wexcyn was pleased with himself. He’d used Litha to force them to break one of the sacred Laws, and would now be free to walk Ellowen once again.

Liam looked ahead, the world blurring as he and Lilae were sucked away.

Wexcyn’s brilliance was astounding—but
, somehow
he forgot that while he could now walk Ellowen—the other Ancients could as well.

War was on the rise, and this time the odds were stacked in Lilae and Liam’s favor.

Exclusive First Look:

DAWN

of the

FORGOTTEN

SONA FLEW ON HER WYVERN
above the smoke and fire of Willowmere, a small kingdom in Alfheim. Her eyes searched for any movement other than the writhing and frantic jerking of burning Silver Elves.

She smiled at the chaos.

The once beautiful village was devastated by flames.

“Steady now, Tollie,” she said to the wyvern as it glided just out of reach of the flames.

She would help as much as she could to secure the destruction of Alfheim. The Shadow Elves were doing a pretty good job already, leaving her only smaller cities and villages to ruin. Despite their best attempts, there were already scores of Silver Elves and Tryans who had been warned.

It was time to head to Avia’Torena.

Her grin faded. As much as she had enjoyed taunting him, she didn’t look forward to meeting Kavien’s wrath.

Her glare shot to Silver Elf soldiers that seemed to come out of nowhere.

Tall, silver haired elves swarmed from the caverns of the Cascadian mountains. They were all in light armor with shining weapons.

Finally
, Sona thought.
A real fight
.

They spotted her and archers began shooting sparkling arrows through the darkness toward her. She led Tollie to the ground and hopped from the wyvern’s back.

Many of the soldiers had gone to the valleys to fight the Shadow Elves, leaving their homes unprotected. She figured this small troupe had been informed of her attack and had hurried back.

Sona slid her swords from their harness strapped to her back and gave them a simultaneous swing through the air. They glowed green with her Tryan Enchant and she stood before her wyvern, waiting.

Tolie camouflaged itself with the ground and stealthily slipped away unseen. Wyverns were amazing rides, but they were annoyingly afraid of outright battle. They would carry their master through fights, but would hide at the first chance they got.

The soldiers gathered together.

Organized.

Unafraid.

Interesting,
Sona thought.

She walked toward the huddled group of soldiers as their shields went up. In unison they used their Agility to attack her from all positions. She stood their transfixed for a moment. She’d never seen Silver Elves in
real
battle. They moved similarly to the Shadow Elves, but there was such grace. Her mouth hung open for a moment as they seemed to move above the ground.

Then, they attacked.

Everything became extremely fast. The sparkling swords and maces went after her.

She dodged them, sliding through the mud and slashing through their legs with her enchanted swords. It sizzled through their armor and many were taken aback. It had been centuries since Tryans and Silver Elves had fought each other. Soon they realized the key to fighting her fairly.

Agility wasn’t key.

Vanish
was.

Sona gasped as her sword was thrust into a Silver Elf. He had become translucent, her sword hitting nothing but air. She stared at her sword

Her shoulders slumped.

Vanish wasn’t fair.

Neither was she.

Sona reached inside her pocket. She ran a finger along the smooth metal. Each race had a talisman, created during the first war of the races to protect them.

It was unfortunate the Tryan talisman was in the hands of a little boy.

She’d find him, and she’d take it…just as she’d stolen the Silver Elves’ talisman.

Sona couldn’t wait to activate it.

Her eyes flickered up.

Now was a good time as any.
