- 2 "S-s-sulking!" she cries, wiping tears off her cheeks with the back of her hand. "What of it?"A red veil of fury makes my vision blur. "What did that d.i.c.khead do to you? Is he even still at the party? Did he leave you here?&quo
- 3 "Your present," she murmurs.And I hold my breath for my future.The page of swords."Your future." Marigold looks at these cards, the ones that make me want to vomit, and her smile is pure suns.h.i.+ne."Marigold, maybe we need to re
- 4 I decide keeping my mouth shut is probably the best way to start this...date. Is this a date? I have no idea.She's definitely dressed for a date. She's wearing that s.e.xy little top, black with lime green ribbons that match those shoes, and a t

- 7 But then his hand comes behind my neck and pulls me closer. His lips are hot and quick, and his tongue sweeps the outside of my lips, then teases inside and tangles slowly with mine. My mind skips and jumps, sending faulty signals to every part of my body
- 8 Genevieve cuts her eyes to her brother and scowls."We have so much fun, and we're just...we're really good for each other." She looks over at me, begging me to back up her weak case. I want to. I do, but I have no idea what I can say t
- 9 She explained about the lazo that will bind our wrists and the thirteen gold coins of 'earnest money' I'll pa.s.s to her. Which, frankly, were as foreign as the traditional Jewish vows and the whole walking around me three times thing she
- 10 Regret claws at my insides. I didn't send Adam anything. Even though I'm sure this is something silly and more of a gift for him than me-I'm going to guess it's the Darth Vader alarm clock he joked about seeing online when we went out
- 11 It shouldn't be so weird.I like Adam. And, if I'm completely honest, I more than like him. There's a part of me that's dying to know what he's hiding under all of those lab coats, a part that's dying to touch him. But he hasn
- 12 She looks around, and I notice Cohen and Enzo staring at us over their tacos, eyes narrowed. Her voice drops. "You know what, Adam? It is bold. So is your wife." She grabs a paintbrush from one of the million bags on the floor and presses it in
- 13 I pull out and tip her back on the bed, grab one of the throw pillows she just bought, and prop it under her. Her hips are tilted up, and I kneel in front of her. "More?"She covers her face with her hands and arches her back. "Mmm. Yes!&quo
- 14 There's this way he looks when he gets back from a long day of work at the labs; his dark hair sticks up in odd directions because he runs his hands through it when he's worried, and his clothes are a little sloppy from rolling his sleeves up an
- 15 I put the water bottle next to her plate, take my seat across from Whit, and stare at my food. I'm no longer hungry, and the last thing I want to talk about is weddings and parties. "I'll give it some thought, and let you know.""O

- 17 "Of course I am. Look at it." I do. And shudder.Adam kisses my shoulders and nudges my ear with his nose, whispering, "Gen, I think we may need to talk about your sanity. It's a stuffed animal.""It's probably a nanny-cam
- 18 "What?" I ask before I realize I probably don't want her to repeat whatever she just said."I told you to slow down," she bites out, her words clipped with irritation. "You go that fast on choppy water, you're sure to wig

- 20 For the first time in the entire interview, I think Carlita is about to smile. "What is Genevieve's birthday?""August twelfth." The words hardly have time to settle before I sit up, startled. "Wait. No. August thirteenth.&quo
- 21 "Oh, yeah?" I ask. I shouldn't sound skeptical. Marigold has always been the most insightful person I've ever known, but the last time I saw her I was completely enamored with Adam and the world, do her predicting I'd show up on h

- 32 Chapter 32It was time to face the reality . Today, exactly one year ago, I made an agreement with Rand that I will work and be slave for one year in this village and after that one year, I will receive my freedom back . I went to see Rand and find out if

- 35 Chapter 35In the morning, I went to the blacksmith's workshop to start my work . I was required to do 3 ingots a day and that was it . If I finished in 1 hour my day would be done . On the other hand if I had difficulties, then even staying overtime

- 38 Chapter 38I woke up the next day and went straight to the workshop . I started my work as usual and waited for Grond to leave, like he usually did . I didn't bring the moulds with me because I didn't want Grond noticing them . When Grond finall
- 39 Chapter 39When I visited Nick again he was home this time . I told him "I managed to create a dagger, can we start the training now?" . Nick smiled and said "Then let's see the dagger" I took out my dagger and pa.s.sed it to Nick
- 40 Chapter 40Spring pa.s.sed and with it came the summer . The day of the wedding was about a month away from today's date . I already had both poisons and I learned new things in all the arts I trained . In the art of stealth, I managed to uncover some
- 41 Chapter 41The whole village was busy and in festive mood . This was due to the wedding ceremony that would take place in couple of days . Most of the important people were invited for the wedding . Nick was also one of them . I told Nick that I had my own
- 42 Chapter 42I was running through the forest and Sh.e.l.ly was tagging along behind me . We encountered some wild wolves but those were no longer a thread to me . I decided to dispose of them . To my surprise, Sh.e.l.ly attacked one of the wolves and actual
- 43 Chapter 43We ran through the forest at night . I tried to follow the general direction of the path we were supposed to take . I could hear the howls behind me . Judging by the amount of howls the wolves produced, they would number to at least 20 . That wa
- 44 Chapter 44We traveled whole day according to the map and late in the afternoon, we finally managed to arrive at the village . I was a bit nervous when it came to Sh.e.l.ly . I didn't want anyone to see it because people then can recognise me . I had
- 45 Chapter 45Very early in the morning I tried to gain access to the mansion again . I failed because they security was too tight . I could dispose of one or two guards but that would alert the other . The partoling guards were seen by everyone so If I took
- 46 Chapter 46I noticed that one guy was a.s.signed to the table of the newlywed . No other people served them, I noted any dishes and cups they were using . When all the people were partying and busy with the celebration, I followed one lone servant on his w
- 47 Chapter 47I managed the finish the 9th ingot in the evening of that day . I had to take breaks every 3 ingots because working like this non stop tired me out and made me very hungry . As I mentioned, I could go around hungry but I couldn't cross the
- 48 Chapter 48When Nick left, I started to comb through the Great Scriptures of Evil Medic to find any poison I could use on many people at once . If I wanted to accomplish Nick's last favour, I would have to kill all the people in this village not spari
- 49 Chapter 49The next morning I went to the workshop as usual . I needed to stay low for couple of weeks in order to strip myself of any suspicions Rand may have about me . He may also watch me from somewhere, although I was more aware of my surroundings now
- 50 Chapter 50Couple of weeks went by and my training with the puppets improved . I was now able to control one puppet . It was nowhere near the skills that Nick possessed but it was a start . I also told Nick about the plan I had and he agreed to get the her
- 51 Chapter 51One day when I was training with the puppets, Nick came over with some bad and good news . He said "I can feel my time coming to an end . I thought I will have some more time but it seems we never have any choice when it comes to dying"
- 52 Chapter 52Nick was taken aback due to my resolution, he said "Good, very good . Perfect all the arts and then show the world what I taught you . Show them what you are made of!" . Nick then continued "I shall now show you how the Cloud Haze
- 53 Chapter 53Nick didn't tell me which recipe I was supposed to create . 'He probably wants me to figure out which recipe from the herbs he gave me' I thought to myself . I looked at the herbs and there were two kinds . The first kind was Seed
- 54 Chapter 54I did my training as usual and then late in the evening I've read the Great Scripture of Evil Medic to try and memorise more recipes that were left in the book . When I woke up the next morning, I went to the workshop as usual and completed
- 55 Chapter 55I looked at Sh.e.l.ly and it was still asleep . I thought 'That's odd . Sh.e.l.ly would be up by now and hungry but it didn't wake up since yesterday' . With those thought in my mind, I walked over to where Sh.e.l.ly was slee
- 56 Chapter 56The process of creating Cloud Haze Poison went smoothly, even more smoothly than the last time because I had some experience . Although it went more smoothly and I knew how to do the processes better, my poison was still not comparable to Nick
- 57 Chapter 57It was now autumn, the leaves were falling down from trees and the weather got more chilly . After practising with the puppets for this long, I finally managed to control two puppets with one hand . This allowed me to control four puppets with m
- 58 Chapter 58Together with Sh.e.l.ly, we arrived at Nick's house . Nick was sitting in his chair and opened his eyes when I entered . He asked "All done?" to which I replied "Yes, I just need to keep an eye on Rand as he might be able to
- 59 Chapter 59We spend the night in the forest and returned back to the village in the morning . The Cloud Haze Poison dissipated long ago and there were no more dangers awaiting in the village . Although the poison was gone, the smell of blood was very stron
- 60 Chapter 60Together with Sh.e.l.ly, we traveled towards north . In the bag that Nick left for me, I had couple of inheritance items that I never saw . Besides the usual stuff such as puppet strings and weighting containers, I found black clothing . More pr
- 61 Chapter 61I tried to modify the first diagram for a long time before I noticed that it was already well into the night . Sh.e.l.ly was sleeping besides me and the fire was dying out . I put out the fire and went to sleep . I decided I would continue tomor
- 62 Chapter 62After the dinner we traveled further north . I chose this direction on purpose . That was because north had the least human settlements and I promised Nick to avoid them . I needed peace and quiet to develop my skills but I also needed different
- 63 Chapter 63When we were about 3 weeks worth of travel on foot, away from the h.o.r.esplain Village . We encountered a small mountain range in the forest . This was the first time I saw mountains and probably it was Sh.e.l.ly's first time as well . I w
- 64 Chapter 64Collecting the needed herbs in the forest was not that difficult . Hunters almost never picked them up and people who knew stuff about medicine would grow simple herbs themselves or would simply walk in the vicinity of the village where it was r
- 65 Chapter 65I went inside the cave and set up all my equipment for making medicine . I needed fresh water which was not available in the cave . I called out to Sh.e.l.ly "Sh.e.l.ly! . Come here, I need you to do something" . Sh.e.l.ly immediately
- 66 Chapter 66After the dinner we returned to the cave where I started to create poison again . Time flew by like this and the next day, I had all 12 vials full of poison . The potency varied from 79% to 83% and that was mainly due to exhaustion . I created 4
- 67 Chapter 67The sky turned dark and I could see lights coming out of the village houses . It was almost night time but people would still do some things before going to bed, eating dinner, drinking and so on . We needed to wait till midnight at the very lea
- 68 Chapter 68The woman was a bit stunned that I actually stopped and turned around towards her . I ran at my fasted speed towards her with 2 daggers, one in each of my hands . She smirked and though I want to try close combat again but I had different plans
- 69 Chapter 69Back at the Limestone Village, I checked the entrance of the village and indeed the corpse of that old hag was there . This meant she must've died . I threw couple of daggers at her just in case and they penetrated her head cleanly . I was
- 70 Chapter 70We went back to the cave where the furry deer were living . I said to Sh.e.l.ly "Go tell them that we did our part of the deal" . Sh.e.l.ly nodded its head and went towards the animals to interact with them . After a while, Sh.e.l.ly a
- 71 Chapter 71I fell asleep almost instantly and then I started to have weird dream . In that dream, a hooded dark figure spoke to me some words but I couldn't understand any of them . As if the dark figure spoke in language that was not human . After so
- 72 Chapter 72Early in the morning, I ate some breakfast and got back to work . I wanted to finish that shelter today and there were still loads of things to do . I began by digging another trench . This time I dug a 3 metre long trench that was also 50 centi
- 73 Chapter 73After a bit of running around, I collected almost a whole bottle of the golden glue . We then returned to the camp and I applied the glue onto the joints in the roof using a small stick . There was a bit left in the bottle and I decided to leave
- 74 Chapter 74I fell asleep very quickly . I was already tired from all the training and building I did those past couple of days . My consciousness faded quickly towards the lands of dreams . I opened my eyes and saw the same scene I usually saw during those
- 75 Chapter 75I recalled the t.i.tle of the book . It was called "Experience of Death" . This in itself was a weird t.i.tle . The book's name itself fitted the dream I had all this time . In that case, I died at least 30 times . I thought '
- 76 Chapter 76The scene in front of me repeated 20 times like last time and I finally woke up . I again felt the hunger as if I didn't eat anything for couple of days . I got up from my bed and opened my bag in order to get some food . I again ate a lot
- 77 Chapter 77After we ate the food, I placed the rest of the cooked meat into my bag in order to prepare for the next morning . I now knew I would need larger quant.i.ties of food every time I woke up therefore I had to store up for that occasion . After sor
- 78 Chapter 78I stood there with my eyes closed and focused . I didn't move and tried to cancel out all the noises except the wind . It was hard to cancel out everything . I could still hear the waterfall . I could also hear Sh.e.l.ly running around and
- 79 Chapter 79After we returned to our shelter I said to Sh.e.l.ly "Rest now, we will continue our training tomorrow" . Sh.e.l.ly didn't even respond and went straight to bed . I guessed it must've been very tired from all the training and
- 80 Chapter 80After a while, I noticed a group of bears heading towards us . All of them were black and numbered 10 while there was one more at the front . Its fur was silver in colour and it was a bit smaller than the black bears . I thought 'I never sa
- 81 Chapter 81Each second felt like hours to me and with each loud thump of the bear's step, I was more concerned . 'Would Sh.e.l.ly be able to survive this? Can we defeat this monster?' I thought . I noticed that the cracks on Sh.e.l.ly's
- 82 Chapter 82After a while of rest I said "We should go back to the camp . I need to catch up now with my skills otherwise a turtle will be stronger than me, hahaha" . Sh.e.l.ly looked at me confused as if I was saying something stupid . I didn
- 83 Chapter 83Time flew by like this and 2 weeks pa.s.sed . I finally managed to master the puppets skill and could control every single puppet independently . I also started to train with Sh.e.l.ly and used one puppet in the beginning to make Sh.e.l.ly accus
- 84 Chapter 84While we were running towards the black wolf, Sh.e.l.ly stayed a bit behind to wait for the appropriate chance to attack . I decided to throw few of my daggers to test our the reflexes and also defence of that black wolf . When I threw about hal
- 85 Chapter 85After the dinner, I put the mask on Sh.e.l.ly and started the training . I still used only one puppet as it would take some time for Sh.e.l.ly to be proficient with one . Then I could increase number of puppets to two, then three and so on . Thi
- 86 Chapter 86I tried to manipulate the puppet and I noticed it was more difficult, the additional weight on my arms as well as my back, prevent me from controlling the puppet very smoothly . Although Sh.e.l.ly couldn't see that and trained as usual, I h
- 87 Chapter 87For the 2nd part of my training, I decided to do some running . It was a good type of excercise for legs but if I only did that, my training would not be balanced . I had to think of something that would train my arms too . Although in the 1st p
- 88 Chapter 88The dark figure stood in front of me but didn't talk . It struck me as odd and different . It would always talk so why wouldn't it do so now? I then shouted towards the dark figure "Hey! are you finally going to give me a break?&q
- 89 Chapter 89Deep in the forest . Together with Sh.e.l.ly, we were searching for a suitable group of animals we could hunt . The search was not going very well as we found groups that were either too big or would be to troublesome to deal with . 'I thin
- 90 Chapter 90I tried to get up from my bed but I couldn't . I couldn't move my hands, legs, I couldn't even roll to my side . Then a feeling of extreme hunger hit me . I had no time to think about any of that as I simply shouted "Sh.e.l.l
- 91 Chapter 91There were currently 9 people fighting the animals . I wasn't sure for how long they were fighting nor was I sure how many of them were there at the beginning . The group of humans consisted of 7 males and 2 females . They had different ran
- 92 Chapter 92I moved towards our shelter and when I was close enough, a guy with a sword and s.h.i.+eld shouted "Who goes there!" . I didn't respond and moved forward . As I moved forwards, my silhouette became more visible . The guy was a bit
- 93 Chapter 93I first searched the woman who used the bow . I wanted that bow anyway . It was a ranged weapon which would allow me to shoot from greater distance . My daggers would be used in close combat and mid range combat while bow would be used in long r
- 94 Chapter 94I started my day as usual . Training the 1st and 2nd modified diagram, then the training with Sh.e.l.ly and then dinner . While I was resting, I decided to have a look through the books that I found on the remains of that woman who used her fist
- 95 Chapter 95My days looked the same again . I trained from the morning till evening while helping Sh.e.l.ly in its training once in a while . We would also hunt some animals . The forest became a bit more populated, maybe due to the ma.s.s deaths the animal
- 96 Chapter 96I told Sh.e.l.ly about my plans to leave the shelter and explore new areas . Sh.e.l.ly was rather indifferent towards that, it only wanted to stay with me so it would go wherever I went . Couple of days later we packed out stuff and left the she
- 97 Chapter 97The next morning we resumed our travels . The world had much to offer as I learned throughout my journey . Yet what I knew right now, was nothing compared even to what Nick experienced . Like the lights the last night, it was something I never s
- 98 Chapter 98The next morning my training started . I stood there inside the pa.s.s and let the wind currents pa.s.s through me as if I was invisible . I was trying to determine the currents and any signs of wind movement before such current would hit me . I
- 99 Chapter 99At the Silent Pa.s.s . I stood there with eyes closed and focused on the wind . Suddenly I could feel something coming with my senses and without thinking avoided it . I opened my eyes immediately and to my surprise, saw nothing . I looked aroun
- 100 Chapter 100I calmed down a bit from the excitement but when I looked further down the pa.s.s, I saw something that destroyed my calmness . Sh.e.l.ly was running around with the mask on and suddenly hit one of the cliff sides with its head . . . Hard . The
