Legacy World 7.4 Zira's Gamble
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The opportunity to challenge Hector finally arrived. However, the situation was tricky, making it a high stakes gamble. Zira's moment's hesitation was too long for Hector. "I'll tear your throat out-"
"I found her dying beyond the stream and I pitied her.” Zira hurriedly cut him off. “Isn't she just a cute little wee thing?" She talked about Neoma with the nonchalance of a person talking about their pet.
"What did you do?" Hector continued to dig with narrowed eyes.
"I nursed her back to health in an underground cave.” She shrugged. “So, did I do something wrong?" Zira stared at Hector with a level gaze.
“You used our precious resources for an outsider?”
“Just the bare minimum needed to keep her alive.”
“What’s ours, stays ours." He eyed Neoma for a while before looking back at Zira. "Since she digested something of ours, she’ll be food for us.”

Ward followed the sparkling cyan stream and walked until he was at the edge of the Darkfire's territory. There was a hole at the bottom of one of the bare trees. He carefully placed Zira there then silently gazed at her.Neoma softly and timidly asked the question that had been bugging him. "How is she still in her human form?"When she got no reply, she spoke again. "Then again, it's a good sign, right? It means she's not dying, right?" She looked at Ward who still showed no intention of replying. Without a word, he reverted back to his wolf form and settled himself down near Zira. Neoma did not take his lack of reply to heart. She knew that Ward needed to rest too. So, she took it upon herself to keep watch while they were down.Zira's eyelids gradually lifted. A coat with a random mix of lavender and blue fur filled her sight. The softness and warmth against her skin felt comfortable and welcoming. She would have loved to sink deeper into it if she coul

Zira and Ward arrived at a standoff between a large black bear and Neoma. A grey wolf laid on the ground between the pair with its paws covering its eyes.Seeing how Neoma was visibly shaking, Zira decided to give her the final push./I've done it once, I can do it again./Zira steeled her heart then fell to the ground without any warning. All the heads in the area snapped towards Zira. Meanwhile, BaoBao tried his best to stifle his laughter. Zira acting all weak never got old for him.Ward moved faster than anyone else. He stood guard in front of Zira, then growled and bared his teeth at the bear. Neoma looked at the pitiful picture of wounded wolves fending for themselves, then felt ridiculous being afraid when she was the only unscathed and healthy one.The bear took the chance when everyone was distracted to go for the wolf cowering on the ground. A burst of courage filled Neoma and she instantly leapt towards the bear.
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 7.7 A Noisy Bunch
BaoBao, who had witnessed it all, suspended his telepathy with Zira so that he could laugh to his heart's content.[Ah… If only you didn't have to stay in character.]Zira repeatedly pushed Ward's face away with her paw and nipped him, but he stubbornly pressed towards her to groom her. After a long struggle, he finally left Zira alone.Zira huffed unhappily and turned her back towards him. On the other hand, Ward's tail swayed side to side. He had ascertained for himself that Zira was untouched by the red wolf and was clearly healthy. He moved further away from her to give her her much needed space. When he settled down, he did not stare at her either.Unbeknownst to him, Zira was quietly missing his closeness. Others simply inferred from her droopy ears that she was in a bad mood because of Ward.[Aha!]Zira's heart jumped at BaoBao's sudden exclamation.
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 7.8 A Sticky Situation
"Quin! Now what?!""Break us out of this!" Quin cried."I'm already trying! It's too slow!""Focus." Ward's calm and steady voice cut through everyone's panic.Neoma stared at Ward for a full second. She took a deep breath and pulled as hard she could. She stared only at the webs. She thought only of snapping the webs. She began to feel a burn within her muscles. More and more fibers split and it gradually got faster and easier. Before she knew it, she disentangled everyone in record time."I did it! I di- Wait, not the time, let's go!"Words flew out of Neoma's mouth.Just before Neoma leapt off the tree, Red shouted, "We're still stuck! Too sticky! Ugh!"Quin's eyes darted everywhere. From the spiders, to the disheveled state of the webs that had twigs, leaves, and more caught in it, to the canopy around them. "Leaves! Stick the leaves on!" He finally shouted.A split second after, a large pile of leaves rain

While the lizard ran, it sometimes screeched in a pitch so high that the wolves almost could not hear it. They shook their head in an effort to deal with the discomfort.“Let’s just fight it! Come on!” Red egged everyone on.“Can’t you see we’re at a huge disadvantage?! Not everyone’s like you, keen to lose your life for some meaningless excitement!”“Oh, come on. What could happen? It’s just a lizard on its home ground. We can make do.”“Right!” While everyone turned right at the same time that Quin shouted, Red continued to run straight ahead.“I knew you’d agree- Guys?!” Red dug in her heels and stopped dead in her tracks.“Red!” Neoma shouted. Her voice travelled down the tunnel the pack had ran into.“Ugh shit!” Red ran after them, thus placing her behind the lizard instead. Just as Red fantasized ab

Within five minutes, the pack found a clear spring within a nook of the mountain. Steam wafted up from the water. Quin and Red dashed straight for it without another word. “Please be careful! Valter apparently fell into the cave somewhere here!” Alma warned. “Got it!” Quin and Red said in unison while they happily dived into the water. The water was so clear that they could see the jagged rocks at the bottom of it. They doggy paddled all around. They shook themselves while they were still inside the water, to clean their thick coats. “Thanks for the warning.” Neoma said while placing Valter down onto the ground. She then jumped into the water with the other two. Alma looked at the three wolves in a daze. /They’re… Nice./ Meanwhile, Ward gently lowered Zira onto the ground near the spring. He slipped into the water, careful not to let any splash onto her. While in the water, he reverted back into his wolf form and he never swam t

Something gently nudged and nuzzled against Zira’s face, pulling her out of her slumber. She opened her eyes and confirmed the identity of the culprit. Ward changed into his human form, ready to carry her. Zira did too, at the same time, then moved away before he could pick her up.“My legs work fine.” She explained.Ward stared pointedly at her chest injury.“I’ll be fine.” She stubbornly said as she ran off with the others. Ward caught up to her and stayed close by her side.Meanwhile, another conversation went on at the front of the pack.“I still don’t get why talking to him will win him over. I mean, if it works, why didn’t we win him over earlier?” Red insisted.“Because you didn’t know his story before I shared it with everyone.” Alma gently explained.“Nope. Don’t get it.”“Now we can show Valter
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 7.12 Ward's Fated Partner
The dim light of the moon barely illuminated the area while the pack dug in. Although the carcasses did not have much meat on them, there were more than enough dead hyenas to go around. It was like a buffet.Valter quietly studied everyone happily enjoying their meal. Everyone looked so relaxed that he felt ridiculous staying so tense. As time passed, Valter let his guard lower bit by bit. For the first time, he could enjoy his meal in such a simple manner.When they were done, the wolves stretched and lounged under the stars. Quin and Red laid on their backs. Ward, Zira, and Valter took a dip in the pool. Alma and Neoma rested against each other.By the time the three exited the spring, Red and Quin were knocked out cold. Zira reverted into her wolf form and curled up, ready to sleep. So, Ward did the same. Valter went off in a more secluded spot but found that Alma and Neoma were following him."What do you want?" He gruffly asked.

RenRan began napping. A lot. Souls did not need sleep, but they could choose to do so. FanHai was one of those who seemed to never catch a wink of sleep. While RenRan slept, he stayed by her side, always keeping himself busy with something. This carried on for a good time before she began to catch him with his guard lowered after waking up. ‘A while more.’ RenRan did not believe that a man like him could keep himself entertained this long and resist a cat nap with her. At this point, BaoBao cried out in frustration. There were a few times she could have slipped away because he had already fallen asleep with her! He even dared to cuddle with her. That spot was only reserved for two people! Him and the familiar soul! “Is it really too much to assist by waking her up?” He challenged the elder one. “Is it so hard for her to stay awake in a world that doesn’t need sleep?” He challenged BaoBao back. “...That’s easy for you to say.” Then, BaoBao puffed his cheeks and returned to gl
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.6 Make Yourself Comfortable
RenRan’s eyes opened wide. No matter how hard she pushed against him or how much she pounded his chest, shoulders, or head, he persisted on. She tried to bite him, but he avoided using his tongue and skillfully moved his mouth in tandem with her attempts. With his hand cupping the back of her head, she could not break the kiss either. She was at his complete mercy. ‘I should have dropped the act earlier. This isn’t worth it!’ Fear slowly gripped her heart as she wondered how far he would take it. Then, he stopped, just as suddenly as he started. “Enough?” He grinned and meaningfully applied greater pressure on her lower back. His move made RenRan conscious of the rock hard member against her abdomen. Immediately recognising what it was, she fiercely pushed against his chest and demanded, “Okay, let me go! I’ll properly spend some time with you first!” He smiled with satisfaction. “Like I thought.” Then, he let her go. “You wouldn’t have to waste so much time and energy if you jus
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.5 I’m Your Soulmate
RenRan’s heart jumped but she poised herself promptly, ready to grapple with whoever had manhandled her. “Why’d you run away from me? Didn't we have deal?” The somewhat familiar deep voice cleared up the situation. “I’m not running from you.” RenRan explained as she attempted to pull her arm out of his strong grip. “You know you can’t lie with this within us.” He pointed at his chest and kept on his tight smile. “You got to try harder than that to convince me.” RenRan frowned. “And I was precisely following that to find you, as agreed.” His smile gradually disappeared as his gaze dropped to study her entire body. “…You’re weaker than the last time I saw you.” RenRan had nothing to say in response. Instead, she attempted to twist her arm free again. “Even so, I’ve never heard of a compass malfunctioning because of this before.” Annoyed with his accusations, RenRan tuned in
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.4 What’s My Dream
RenRan headed for a condensed group of swirling sparkles that was just a little larger than her. ‘So, my mission is to achieve my dream no matter the cost. What’s my dream? To find YingTao? No, I’ll definitely find him. It’s just a matter of time. Then, I’ll find out that YingTao doesn’t want me anymore. And I’ll want him back...’ RenRan thought of everything that had happened in RenRan’s life. ‘I can only hope that her dream’s that simple...’ She began to think of all her misdemeanors, then ways to right her wrongs. [I should stop you right there. If it wasn’t clear enough before, as long as you’re in the story scenes, you’re supposed to do and say all the things the original character did.] ‘What? You didn’t say that earlier.’ [I mentioned earlier that it's risky to provoke this world’s consciousness into doing anything. So, we can only observe this world. What do you think this mea
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.3 Damsel in Distress
Luna was right. She had inhabited Luo RenRan’s body. RenRan’s family belonged to the working class, but her gripe was not their standard of living, it was her parents’ favourtism for her brothers. She was the only girl, and she was the oldest. Anything her brothers did, she was responsible for. Any wrong they committed, they were let off with a more lenient punishment, while she was supposed to forgive and forget. Their expectations for her and the restrictions they imposed on her could not be compared to the standards they held her brothers against. The only solace she had was that her siblings never directly crossed her line, even when she was old enough to start working. If only it stayed that way forever. “RenRan... Forgive your brother, okay? You know he only took it because he needed it and only you can help him. If you have someone you need to blame, blame your father.” A gentle motherly voice coaxed her. “If your father helped, none of us would be
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.2 What Am I Doing Here
“Wh- What am I doing here?” BaoBao looked around in shock. He recognised this place. The last time he was here, it was to defend Luna. “Why am I back here?”The elder one sighed. “Why did you do it?”“D- Do what?”Gasps were heard around him.“It lies.”“It truly deceives.”“Surely, that’s bad.”“This can’t go on.”“It’s always this one system.”“Clearly there’s something wrong with it.”All the administration looked at the elder one, waiting for the go ahead. The elder one looked at BaoBao so intensely as if BaoBao was a specimen under his microscope. BaoBao gulped. He felt exposed. What was with this elder one? Whatever the case, Luna had already been sent to the next world. He could not dilly dall
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 10.1 Not Again
“Don’t ignore me! I know you’re awake!” Someone pushed Luna’s shoulder hard. Her eyes flew open, and a purple and black galaxy unfolded before her. Her bottom left whatever she had been sitting on, but she did not fall. There was a resistance that made her body glide instead. Luna blinked a few times, stunned. "I dare you to say it again.” The same voice challenged her. Luna turned towards the source. There it was again. The sensation when she moved was familiar. However, she had no time to make sense of it. The deep voice belonged to a burly woman, instead of a man like Luna had assumed, not that it made anything better. Her guest looked as friendly as a starving lioness. Luna straightened her neat celestial-like robes while she quickly collected her thoughts. It shimmered and shone brighter than the glow emanating from her body. The fabric was so silky to touch that it was like water. Although it was transluc

“LUNA!” BaoBao jumped onto her. Luna grunted from the impact. It reminded her of how much he had grown from the first time she met him. ‘How is he so weightless but so heavy at the same time?’ “Hi BaoBao,” she laughed lightly, “Is this your new way of sending me to the next world?” “Huh?! No, no! It’s far too soon to be sending you to the next world, isn’t it?!” Luna laughed even more. “I was just teasing.” BaoBao blinked innocently. “Oh.” Luna looked at him endearingly. “You’re still so much like a kid.” She rubbed the top of his head lovingly. “Don’t systems live for eternity, if nothing goes wrong?” “Mmhm, what about it?” “It still felt that long to you?” “YES!” BaoBao confirmed without a second thought. Luna laughed. “Let’s spend some time together before heading to the next world.” BaoBao’s heart warmed and h

Nozomi closed her eyes and thought hard about his request. It did not feel right or good to take his years, but she had no right to dictate how he should live his life.‘Since he’s really fine with it...’Nozomi pushed her hands forward to cup his cheeks. “Okay...”Hikaru’s eyes brightened up. He promptly retrieved his book and readied himself. Nozomi watched Hikaru activate his magic with interest. The way his book’s ribbon splits and transforms into a robe and staff never got old. “Thank you, for going along with my wishes.” His heartfelt gratitude was reflected in his eyes as well. Nozomi smiled in understanding and squeezed his hands that were once again holding onto hers. Hikaru closed his eyes and focused on her presence, then said the incantation that he had memorised by then.Green glowing vine marks appeared
