Ashes In The Wind And Islands Of Ash – Lashell Rain

He hesitated, and Valla took advantage of her opportunity. “Orion!” Hallan’s voice boomed across the land as he soared through the air, pushing my father out of the way, taking Valla’s sword through his heart. I watched as it played out in front of me so slowly, as if time had stood still. I felt my legs go weak.

My father yelled for me as a bright white light stretched across the land in front of me. Was this the end? The light was erratic and crazed as it moved in every direction before it shot through my father from Valla’s hand. Lightning. She had mastered beyond her fire. I screamed as my father’s body fell to the ground. I moved toward him but my legs failed me as I collapsed into the mud.

Everything was on fire, but no flames caressed my skin. Every ragged breath made my side flare in pain. Ace’s dirty face came into view. I felt him cradle my head as he tried to sign to me. “Where are you hurt?” he signed, but my limbs felt too heavy to sign anything back. I tried to speak, but it came out more like a murmur.

“Side,” was all I could manage. Without hesitation, Ace ripped apart my burnt leather vest and found a leaking wound. The man from before didn’t just burn me, he had stabbed me. Ace growled under his breath. “Stay with me, Eme,” he signed to me, but his hand grew foggier by the minute. Ace grunted as he tried to stand, and I thought it was from trying to lift me until he dropped me to the ground and turned toward an enemy. A dagger’s hilt protruded out of his back, directly between his wings.

The fae man ignited his arms in flames. He looked as if he were staggering, already injured, but that could have been my vision playing tricks on me, making the world feel like it was shifting around me. A burst of air blasted from Ace, but it didn’t harm me. The icy wind made my skin pebble against my soaked clothes.

The fae that attacked barreled away like a leaf falling away from the trees in autumn.

I heaved, bending at the waist, tasting the salt of my labor as I tried to catch my breath. “Again,” he commanded. My father and I had been practicing since before the sun crested over the horizon. We started with weapons. He taught me how to get an arrow to hit its mark then did the same with battle axes and swords before moving on to bending. My father always said an enemy would not care if you were tired. Every muscle in my body ached as I gathered myself back into my fighting stance, preparing to run the course again.

Wooden posts jutted from the ground with bags stuffed with straw for heads—my targets. My enemies. My father played as my moving mark. I took a deep breath, shook out my limbs, and pumped the blood flowing through my veins faster, using my bending as I concentrated. Raising my arms methodically, the water lifted from the two buckets by my feet. It swirled around my arms as I prepared my attack. With a flick of my wrist, water sliced through the air, drawing the heads off of the closest post-like men.

Bolting forward, I rushed by the nearby trees, shooting thin streams of water through anything with a straw head or a wooden body. “Water moving fast enough is as sharp as any blade,” my father voiced through the trees from within the training course but remained hidden from my line of sight. “But the ability to wield both is your advantage, Eme. Use it.” His voice rang from behind me and I turned, sending a crescent blade of water soaring through the air, taking out the remaining wooden dummies.

My last target still mocked me, unseen. I closed my eyes, letting my fae hearing heed my surroundings.
