The Thief and the Ghost Chapter 2: Crushing the Dream

Fero looks more menacing in the night than when the sun is shining down. Or maybe the fact is that I feel vulnerable in my current state. I am a human wandering streets where Nieth could kill me if they grew bored. That was a silly worry for me, though. If anyone, Nieth or human, dared to kill me my brother would slowly torture them. He would only stop when the killer was dead.

If my plan to become a wyvern rider failed, maybe I could trick a Nieth into killing me. I smiled at the thought. It would be painful to die and yet my time here would come to an end. Even my brother would be on his deathbed sometime. If only I could be the one to end his reign of torment.

If only.
