Nope the story isn't over yet but it IS getting there. I DO guarantee that what is to follow will be quite interesting… or at least for me
I know… poor Avaram but I had already premeditated his death to clear out for the last part of this story.
Anyway, if you have questions or feel lost then feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer. I kind of wrote this in a hurry haha but I just want to get this part done with before I head full on to the last section.
Two months had passed since the tragedy that Wyvern's Court had suffered. Oliza had hoped that Avaram would be able to pull through but by the time she had reached him, nothing else could have been done. In that moment, she had experienced her first grasp at loss and everything around had lost its importance. What increased her grief was that the last words she had shared with him were not pleasant. As for Ulrik, she had never attended the rendezvous they had planned and could only hope that he would understand.
Loeiza still shunned Oliza and the lively child she had once known had faded away. She would most likely never recover from the shock of losing her father. After all, she had lost her father the day she had turned six.
The assassin had been found hiding out a day later and his dreadful motive discovered moments before he silenced himself. As expected, he had not been the only one to arrange to murder and its intentional victim had not necessarily been Avaram. Instead, his target was someone smaller. It was Loeiza whom he had intended to murder along with Bastian. It was all a plot carefully carried out between insurgents that wanted to be rid of Wyvern's Court and its youngest heirs. By the time they had been found they killed themselves to prevent any more details from ever being known. After their demise, there appeared to be peace in Wyvern's Court as if a heavy cloud had been lifted.
Nonetheless, the incident haunted Oliza and the walls of Wyvern's Court suffocated her. She had once felt safe in them. After all, Wyvern's Court had been her home since she was a small child.
So instead, she had gone to the Hawk's Keep to get away from the memories that were still fresh in her mind. Wyvern's Court had to be searched and modifications had to be made to make it safer than what it had been. It appeared to be that Hawk's Keep brought Loeiza some comfort and seeing Loeiza well brought comfort to Oliza. To Oliza's surprise, Hai had come along as well. Her excuse had been a simple one. Nicias had insisted on accompanying Oliza to the Hawk's Keep and Hai had a curiosity to see the Avian city. Though Nicias insisted to take her to the Serpiente Palace instead, Oliza had given consent to her cousin's request. After all, she had slowly been opening herself up to Oliza and those around her. Though there was one thing about Hai that had caught Oliza's attention. It was a glimmer in her eye, as if she knew something that no one else did and that somehow it concerned Oliza herself.
