Darkness Finale Chapter 18, here's a double update for you, expanding the scenario of what is going down. ============================================= - Torquil's POV - Waiting at the castle was filling me with so much anticipation... wondering when the news would come back, and when I could finally hunt that Dewott down. At the word, I would scour the entire nation in search of Nikolai, to see him face justice for his actions... But the more I thought about it, the more I became worried about the truth... what if this was all just a setup. I certainly didn't trust that Sableye... but, how could I trust Nikolai either? If he was truly a

Darkness Finale Chapter 17, apologies for not updating in a while. I had to take a bit of time to think about where this was going and continue along the trail. ============================================= - Nikolai's POV - Slowly I sat, meditating my mind as Xavier preformed some sort of ritual... I had no idea what I was signing up for; my mind was still wandering from what I had endured before. The village doctor, Pamina had patched me up thankfully, but I was still more then a little confused; wondering what Xavier was doing. As I sat wondering, I gazed upon the blade. It was glowing with a dark aura, my gaze fixated on it, unable to

Darkness Finale Chapter 16, been a while since we last saw Nikolai in this story; but it's finally time to return to his side in this crazy adventure. ============================================= - Nikolai's POV - More and more sprinting; my feet and legs ached; but I continued sprinting deeper and deeper into the foliage spread before me. In order to both lose my captors; and follow the beam projected from my Mystic Water Pendent. I knew I had to continue on my path; no matter how I felt... but, soon I came to a stop in a small clearing. I was out of breath, and needed a slight rest... slowly, I lowered my head to catch my breath... As

Darkness Finale Chapter 15, we return back with Aurora and Conrad in this chapter. ============================================= - Aurora's POV - It had been nearly a week; spending time in Pjanuri Neutrali was fascinating and amazing to learn and see. Just getting to spend time with Conrad and learn how he ran things was extremely enjoyable. "I trust your visit has been most pleasant Aurora?" Calmly, he smiled as I turned to him and smiled. "It has been great. You've done so much to make it massive and grand. I've never felt so welcomed in my life." Slowly, he shuffled a bit before glancing at me shyly. "Yet I still know very little ab

Darkness Finale Chapter 14, the situation is not looking great for Nikolai. ============================================= - Torquil's POV - The rush back to L'eau Bleue after learning about what had befallen it was one filled with stress... Alistair had sent to our aid when we needed it the most; learning of his death at the betrayal of his own son left me feeling cold. I couldn't believe that Nikolai would do something like that; especially not from a random Sableye... any of this could easily be a lie, but I kept it all to myself for the trip... Upon arriving and rushing into the castle though, the nightmare was confirmed, as Alistair's

Darkness Finale Chapter 13, and so, the web of lies slowly begins to be weaved. ============================================= - Ophelia's POV - "I cannot, believe this... I give you fools one, simple order and you fail me!? How could you be so useless as to not even be able to control a pathetic Prince?" Enraged and frustrated, I was at wits end. Now that Prince was loose, if he spread news of who the attacker really was, my plan would be compromised, and if... he was to find out... I was losing time, I had to make a move fast, in order to ensure this situation stayed under wraps. I knew full well that Nikolai would be troublesome, but I
