thekimburlo1mthReplied to LadySadieKIt’s hilarious and a good thing 👍 Kauhel is always getting threatened but yet still maintains his duty by somehow, always being ‘around’ her 😆
Maxi's expression grew troubled. She feared that Ulyseon would dramatically exaggerate what happened in his report. If she was not careful, it could cause Riftan's chronic ailment to flare up again.- thekimburlo1mthCommented
Even after all this, communication wouldve atleast helped a little even tho we all knke Maxi to be stubborn and Riftan hardheaded. He could’ve told her what happened and how he felt then and there. Who knows it might’ve saved her from going back to Croyso to face another nightmare. Then again, he also wouldn’t have known about her abuse 🤷♀️🤷♀️ It’s all just to…complicated 😭
The sky was brightening by the minute. Riftan gazed up at it for a while before turning to the city gate, where the knights were waiting for him. He cast one final look at the tent, his face hardening, and set out for battle. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
Our guy had faced his worse nightmare and now still has to carry on the memory. Reading his side makes his attitude make a whole lotta sense later. 😭
*** - thekimburlo1mthCommented
For real dude?…there are moments and then there are ‘moments’ 🤷♀️
Ruth's voice, thick with restrained emotion, reached him as he peered down at his exposed joints. "Do you feel better now after doing this to yourself?" - thekimburlo1mthCommented
Idsilla volunteered to change her clothes. She told Maxi later how terrified she was to intervene when Riftan was there. She faced him nonetheless, with Ruth 🫣
Turning toward the new voice, he saw a young female cleric shrink back. As he gazed at the trembling girl, Riftan felt his senses slowly returning. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
A look he knew all tok well…😩 This man has had enough. Enough… …
His shaky hand brushed away the hair sticking to her forehead. He desperately took in her bloodless face — sunken eyes, a bruised temple, cracked lips. It was a face he had grown all too used to seeing, one marred by a punishing life. A face overshadowed by death. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
I think at this moment, all the RDK’s were there. It took them all to barely contain there commander
"I'm here, Maxi. I'm right here." - thekimburlo1mthCommented
🫢
It took a moment for him to realize that the heart-wrenching sounds were his own. More people rushed in, trying to pin him down. Riftan thrashed about without knowing why he was struggling. Four pairs of hands, or perhaps more, restrained him like chains. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
Ruth admitted to her that he’d never seen Riftan lose it. Experiencing it thru his eyes is surreal…🫢🫣😥
Riftan struggled fiercely, fighting against those trying to separate him from her. The cries of a beast echoed in the distance. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
Almost every parents worst fear. Riftan’s already been through alot in his lifetime before he married and now this adds a extreme fueling 😓
In a purely instinctive action, he pressed the linen between her legs. There was only one thought in his head: Stop the bleeding. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
Riftan’s current state 😖😶🌫️
Riftan furrowed his brow. The old man's rambling made no sense. A thick, invisible wall seemed to separate him from the world. Sounds were muffled as if he were deep underwater, and a hazy fog shrouded everything around him. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
And because of this moment is why he tortured himself throughout book 2 for not pouncing on her at every turn when they were constantly fighting on battlefield 😭
A ringing filled Riftan's ears. His vision began to blur, but he willed himself to stay focused. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
All too much for her little body to handle 😥
The cleric flinched at the sharp reproach. "W-We have done all we can," he stammered, though his tone was defensive. "The external wounds and broken bones have been healed, but… mana depletion and internal bleeding are beyond the healing capabilities of magic." - thekimburlo1mthCommented
It’s def a heartbreaker. Just knowing what’s about to happen and knowing this is all that’s left of story 😭
Side Story - Nightmare at Eth Lene Part 2 (The end) - thekimburlo1mthCommented
I really like his pov for this moment. I hope to see more side stories 🥲🙏🏼
"She was… attacked. She is currently receiving treatment in there." - thekimburlo1mthCommented
Thus a star was born…our precious scarlet haired lady
"Eth Lene was on the verge of falling, so Rovar and Livakion safely slipped Lady Calypse out of the city, but… she suggested they bring down the rock face near the city to block the enemy. Eth Lene is safe thanks to her ladyship. But now she is…" - thekimburlo1mthCommented
She even took out the monster responsible for Heberon’s illness. Which cured him ultimately 🥲 A small little fragile lady was their savior…but came with a cost 😓
"Her ladyship blocked the monsters by destroying a rock face with magic." - thekimburlo1mthCommented
He didn’t notice the rock wall there. Maxi’s huge mess in front of the castle, lol. His concern was only for her safety…😭
Riftan looked up at the gate. Sentries were still guarding the walls, which meant the city had not fallen. He felt his knees go weak. Had he not been on horseback, he would have certainly staggered pathetically. - thekimburlo1mthCommented
I bet they were all feeling stumped they fell for a monster trap. Their main strength are all out there away from Ethylene. 😥
"An ambush!" the man shouted breathlessly. "The enemy has ambushed the castle!"
