CHAPTER 8
Bound to the Court of Wizards. Forever.
I sat in the bakery alone, unable to make sense of what just happened. I looked out of the bakery’s window. I watched as the people danced and enjoyed their time. How was it that a few moments ago, I was dancing with them, hopeful of the future, sure of my strength to fight whoever came my way?
Only to soon discover that I was never free to leave. What made it worse was that my magic was broken. I looked down at my arm. My magic is broken! And now I had to leave?! How could I leave this city? How could I leave my home?
An image flashed before me. The high members of the court owning this beautiful city, meddling in their rules and using the mountain’s magic. What if they gave it to Thaiba just to spite me?
The realization hit me hard.
