Excerpt Darkness—that was all I could see. I looked down, trying to catch a glimpse of my feet as they trampled upon the unseen ground. An invisible force pulled me while I listened to the sound of many voices. It was bitter cold; my fingertips grew numb with every step I took. It was quiet here—too quiet. My heartbeat sounded like drums softly played by weak hands. Something lay in the darkness ahead of me. My eyes squinted in an attempt to better visualize the unrecognizable. My breathing failed once I realized it was her—it was Nephele.Make sure to check out the whole series! Look at these awesome Promo Posters for the books!
Emotions stirred within me; rage shadowed my mind as I approached her body. She attempted to stand to her feet, feebly moving her arms. It was apparent that an invisible power pinned her down. My wings made their way out of my back as rage continued to take over. I grasped my sword, marching in her direction. I knelt next to her. Our eyes met.
Without hesitating, I pierced her left hand; blood flowed like a waterfall. Her body trembled as she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came forth.
You deserve to die, I thought, standing back on my feet. The memories of all the pain she had caused me played over in my head. I placed my right foot on her skull, pressing it against the ground. I sank my sword into her chest. I was clueless of my whereabouts, but happy to know that my mortal enemy lay here, defenseless. The sound of her slowing heartbeat invaded my ears. I lifted my foot from her head, kneeling next to her once again. “You see,” I whispered in her ear. “Even with all of your dark powers, Nephele, in the end, you will never win.”
