My heart raced—not just from the thrill of evading those evil knights but from the weight of what lay ahead. Rowan, Lynette, and Sheela were waiting for me at the old oak tree by the riverbank, our secret meeting spot. If I could just reach it without drawing attention, we might stand a chance against Valdrik’s tyranny. As I slipped between two burly merchants hawking their wares, I caught snippets of laughter and chatter, the sounds of life that felt so distant from my own reality. But then, amidst the noise, something sharper pierced through—the low voices of two knights standing near a stall laden with fruits. “Did you hear? The Emperor is planning to deal with those twins,” one knight said, his voice gruff yet laced with an unsettling excitement. “The girl and boy?” the other replied, glancing around nervously. “They’re supposed to be powerful, aren’t they?” “Aye, destined to wield the power of Elestia,” the first knight scoffed. “But Valdrik won’t let them get that far. He wants them dead before they can even think of rising against him.” I leaned closer, my curiosity piqued despite the danger. This was exactly the kind of information we needed. “What’s the plan?” the second knight asked, lowering his voice further. “How does he intend to find them?” “He has spies everywhere—he’ll sniff them out soon enough. They say he’s sent out patrols to scour the countryside. Anyone who looks suspicious or shows signs of magic will be dealt with swiftly.” The first knight chuckled darkly. “He believes if he eliminates them now, he can maintain control over the realm without fear of rebellion.” “But what if they’ve already gained some power?” the second knight pressed, worry creeping into his tone. “What if they manage to rally others to their cause?” “They won’t have the chance,” the first knight assured him. “Valdrik is ruthless. He’ll crush any hope before it blooms. Just imagine—two children, barely more than teenagers, thinking they can challenge the might of an emperor! It’s laughable!” I couldn’t help but feel a chill run down my spine. Twins destined to defeat Valdrik? That sounded too much like a fairy tale, yet here I was, listening to knights discuss their demise as if it were a mere task on a list. What would happen if they succeeded? Would they really be able to bring down the tyrant? “Let’s not forget,” the second knight continued, “the last time someone tried to oppose Valdrik, they ended up missing… or worse.” “Exactly!” The first knight nodded vigorously. “So, keep your eyes peeled. We need to report anything unusual. And remember, loyalty to the Emperor comes first. Those twins are nothing but a threat to our way of life.” With that, they turned away, their conversation fading into the cacophony of the market. I took a deep breath, trying to process everything I had just overheard. Twins. Power. A destiny intertwined with mine. My mind raced back to my parents. My father, once a proud soldier, now a humble blacksmith. His dreams of glory dashed by illness, leaving behind only the forge and tales of valor. I wanted to honor his legacy, to become the knight he never could be. But how could I do that when darkness loomed so close? Shaking off the thoughts, I pushed forward, weaving through the crowd until I finally spotted the familiar silhouette of the old oak tree. Its gnarled branches reached toward the sky, a beacon of hope amid chaos. As I approached, I saw Rowan pacing anxiously, Lynette scanning the area, and Sheela perched on a nearby rock, her brow furrowed in concern. “Myles!” Rowan exclaimed, relief flooding his features. “We were starting to worry!” “I’m fine,” I replied, forcing a grin. “Just had a little chat with some knights. You wouldn’t believe what I heard…” And as I recounted the chilling details of the knights’ conversation, I realized that our fight was no longer just about survival; it was about destiny—a destiny that seemed to intertwine with the fate of those mysterious twins. Together, we would uncover the truth and perhaps, just perhaps, change the course of our world forever.
