He's still alive. That's the only way the bond's pull could be so sporadic.
The figure shook his head as he felt a chill run down his spine.
He's getting closer again. It's not pulling as hard.
Relief fluttered through him at the thought of the tugging sensation growing weaker.
This is both a blessing and a curse for us both.
He smiled as he finally reached the doors. They had been left open.
Thanks for making it so easy to get out. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be bound to this place.
A grin found its way to his face as he thought about the sudden change. It had been too long since he last saw the outside world.
I look forward to seeing you again, Caleb of Kirakath.
And with that, Sir Edmond, the spectral knight and the last wielder of the Sword of Kirakath, stepped out from the ancient city of Draesa.
He was free at last.
Everything was going according to plan.
Caleb’s story continues in

About the Author
Ryne Billings was born on June 20, 1991 in the city of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, though he never lived there. He was raised in between Louisiana and Oklahoma, but Oklahoma is the only state he would call home. He is a graduate of Poteau High School and a sophomore at Carl Albert State College, majoring in English.
He has been writing since he was in sixth grade, though he only completed his first novel length work of original fiction when he was fourteen years old and a freshman in high school.
Among his greatest sources of inspiration are authors like Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Terry Goodkind, John Flanagan, Robert E. Howard, and David Dalglish.
