Silver Fox Book 8: Warrior's Awakening is LIVE!

Chapter 506 - Embers of Malice

 

Fortunately, the otherwise blinding Mist did nothing to detract from the internal map in his head. Or the brilliant warm glow of the handful of roaring soldiers calling out into the night, cries of witch and righteous persecution having slowly become the desperate call of people trying to find themselves in the mist… and somehow failing miserably.

Chapter 505 - Mysteries of Love and Loss

Much to Eric’s surprise, Oliver merely smiled. “You’re right, they are indeed coming, and I have no doubt at all that they would happily see us all burn upon the pyre. Every last man, woman, and child among us.”

Chapter 504 - Unforgivable Crimes

 

Eric soon found himself under an overcast sky, taking sweet breaths of air that tasted of smoke, horse dung, and freedom, his sword cane once more in hand. All in all, he thought it a miracle that it was even back in his possession, that it hadn’t been stolen or at least unsheathed, revealing a surprise that would have led to extremely uncomfortable questions and had been ...

Agdelina gave the frightened serving girl a sympathetic smile. “Best you make yourself scarce, but first open the front door, child. You mean nothing to our unexpected guests.

A short time later, Eric left Luigi’s shop whistling an off key tune, grinning from ear to ear and more than pleased with his arrangement, thinking he looked quite fine in his stylish waistcoat that didn’t ruffle at all in the breeze, reinforced as it was, and complimenting the silk vest graced with a veritable explosion of lace, buttons, and ruffles such that one could ...

With a friendly farewell from the headmaster, a bemused Eric found himself slipping free of the collegium with a final glance back at the impressive-looking building that screamed higher place of learning.

Chapter 500 - Golden Keys & Mysterious Colleges

 

The remainder of their trip to town was surprisingly quiet. Eric’s oddly manic euphoria; a combination of post battle high and triumph over insanely perilous odds while unlocking skills he had feared lost to him had all been replaced by an odd sense of melancholy.

As if he had somehow lost out on taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetme opportunity, a Gentle Fate or S...

Chapter 499 - The heart of the matter.

"Agda!" Ivan desperately cried.

But Eric was already moving, yanking Agda back so that neither she nor her bundled baby were struck by the careening cart as it bounced through the fields, carefully packed crates and burlap sacks flying off into the thick grass before the cart toppled over in a heap of shattered lumber, crushed goods, and a squealing, shrieking draft horse whose squ...

Chapter 498 - Peril in the Mist

 

Eric stiffened when a certain cold-eyed man glared his way with his rifle in his lap, freezing him to stillness as he took in the stretched leather recliner cleverly put together with hardwood and animal hide.

His heart roared in his ears, yet Agda’s father made no move to point it at him, merely measured Eric with his eyes.

“It’s late.”

Chapter 497 - Mixed Blessing

 

Eric stumbled back, collapsing to the soil and groaning as post battle shakes from adrenaline and certain peril overwhelmed him, along with the sudden hot spike of agony from fragile flesh torn open in the desperate frenzy of combat. His eyes squeezed tightly shut as Agda’s cry for her child touched his heart, the joy in her sob making it almost worth the pain.
