Nineteen years of being ordinary.
Meet Alex Fitz. Born to Ezra and Valentina with the name Alexandra Katerina Fitzgerald. She is a princess completely unaware of that fact. When her younger half brother shows up to make her aware of her royal stat...
The trees in this forest were too high. The darkness is thankfully still visible.
Not having technology was making our timetable hard to read.
The magic of the waterfall only works in the darkness.
We only had a short amount of time left to remove Jackal's abilities. If the sun began to rise over the trees, then we would all be permanently screwed.
Why a magical waterfall only works during the night is something beyond my capability of understanding. It seems like everywhere I turn, Astalilia has new rules, and I cannot keep up with all of the magic. However, if those are the rules, I will follow them until this is all over.
Gabe has been keeping track of the time in order to make sure we know how much time we have left, and how much time we have wasted in the process of chasing our tails.
Gabe and I strayed away from Henry, Kat, and Seraphina. The three of them needed to keep an eye on Jackal and make sure he does not leave this forest or get too far away from the waterfall.
"How much time is left?" I whispered.
"A little over two hours," Gabe whispered.
No more time to waste.
"Two hours to get him into that waterfall, but we have all the time in the world to kill him," I muttered. At this point, I was thinking out loud. I had no plan.
"What can we do?" Gabe asked.
"I have no idea," I said, sounding defeated. "We need a miracle."
The repetition of swords colliding became unbearable.
My training has prepared me for this moment. However, the short breaths in between each collision were causing me to lose my breath.
Sweat cascaded down my forehead, and it felt like it was going to freeze onto my skin.
My movements were becoming weaker. Seraphina and Henry attempted to step up and take control of the situation. Everyone knew that I wanted to be the one to kill Jackal; however, if I was going to kill Jackal, then I needed to be able to lift my arms above my head.
Constant soreness needed to be dealt with immediately.
