The next few days were filled with various activities for Raven, Meredith, Ben, Lucas, and Maya. They began to grow closer as they had to get together frequently to complete additional assignments from Professor Lorry. Between the stacks of ancient books, spontaneous jokes, and tense moments while compiling research, they found a rhythm and cohesiveness that made the days feel lighter.That afternoon, they decided to meet at a small café near campus after class. The cool air made the café feel cosy. They sat in a corner, ordering coffee and chocolate cake to get rid of their sleepiness after a long lecture."Phew, finally got out of the most boring class. My eyes are so sleepy from earlier." Ben stretched his body that felt so tired. "Hmm, yes. I'm the same, I don't know why this course feels so boring." Meredith replied to Ben's words, "It's even more fun when we do the project from Professor Lorry," she continued."You're right, Mer. But I really didn't expect this project to be
"Alright, looks like we've got enough information," Lucas said quickly, trying to sound brave. "Let's get out before we get caught."Quickly, they returned to the bookshelves that now blocked off the secret passage. After reorganising everything, they took a small run out of the library, their nervous laughter filling the night air.When they arrived outside, they laughed loudly, releasing all the tension that had been building up. Maya looked at them with a relieved smile. "Okay, this is crazy. But I'll never forget this night for the rest of my life."Raven smiled, feeling such a strong sense of togetherness between them. With these friends of hers, even the most mysterious and terrifying journeys seemed easier to traverse."If we can face all this, we can definitely conquer Professor Lorry too, right?" Ben said with a laugh.They all laughed in agreement, promising to return to class with the most complete report and ready to face all questions from Professor Lorry.That night, fu
As time goes by, the excitement of life on campus for Raven, Meredith, Ben, Lucas and Maya never wanes.They found new ways to liven things up, including pranks that only the five of them knew about.Every weekend felt like an opportunity for adventure and freedom together.One Friday night, they gathered in the small park near the dormitory, looking for ideas for new activities.Ben suddenly leaned against a tree and chuckled, "We need something more exciting than just a party."Meredith raised an eyebrow, curious. "Like what, Ben?"Ben smiled mischievously. "Why don't we play hide-and-seek at midnight in the faculty building? They say there's a floor that never opens because... there's something weird there."Raven laughed outright. "Gosh, that's just a story to scare the new kids."Lucas, however, seemed interested. "Come on, this should be fun! Hide and seek in the faculty building at 12pm? I'm ready!"Finally, with unstoppable laughter, they decided to do it. As the night wore on
The lives of Raven, Meredith, Ben, Lucas and Maya continue to be colourful. Each day is filled with laughter, jokes, and the occasional tension that comes from new challenges on campus.One of the most thrilling moments they face is when they have to complete a big assignment for Professor Lorry - a middle-aged man who is notoriously strict and often makes students nervous just by looking at them.The assignment this time was a research project that they had to present in front of the class. The topic was quite complex, and they had to spend weeks in the library, digging up information and preparing solid presentation materials. The five of them often stay up late into the night to make sure everything is perfect, with Lucas in charge of ensuring interesting supplementary materials, Ben designing the presentation slides, and Maya looking over the data they've collected.One afternoon in the library, Meredith rested her head on the table and sighed. "Why does Professor Lorry always ch
They began rehearsing, creating dialogue and preparing costumes. The atmosphere in their dormitory was full of laughter, because every time they tried out a new dialogue, Lucas would come up with a silly improvisation that made everyone laugh out loud. Finally, the day of the Weekly Festival arrived. The atmosphere on campus was very festive, with colourful decorations, snack stalls, and the main stage in the middle of the field. There were many students crowded around, and each team seemed to be busy preparing for their performance."Alright, our next team is Team Kelana Malam with a play called Parallel Campus" the announcement was heard, and a thunderous applause greeted them.The lights on the stage slowly turned on, and the five friends entered the stage in their unique outfits.The show began with Raven standing at the front, introducing the story of five friends who were suddenly sucked into a parallel world on campus while they were looking for a place to study.Each charact
Saat hari mulai gelap, akhirnya mereka melihat seorang mahasiswa, Anna, mendekati botol dan tampak menaburkan sesuatu ke dalamnya. Raven dan teman-temannya saling berpandangan, kaget sekaligus lega.Tanpa menunggu lama, mereka menghampiri Anna, yang kaget melihat kehadiran mereka. Meredith langsung bertanya, “Anna, kenapa kamu melakukan ini?”Dengan memasang wajah polos tanpa dosa, Anna mencoba berkelit dengan mengatakan bahwa botol yang ada di sana adalah miliknya. Namun, ekspresi wajah Anna dan keterangan yang diutarakannya berubah ketika Maya dan Ben mengatakan bahwa satu-satunya mahasiswa di kampus yang menggunakan botol minum seperti itu hanya Jeremy saja. Tidak ingin kecolongan, Lucas dan Ben mendesak Anna dengan beberapa cara termasuk dengan membohongi gadis itu bahwa mereka berlima mempunyai rekaman yang memperlihatkan perbuatan Anna saat berusaha mencelakai Jeremy. Anna tampak panik. Dengan wajah ketakutan dia akhirnya mengakui, “Aku sengaja. Jeremy membaca surat cinta yan
After the celebratory party on stage was over, Raven and her friends invited Jeremy to join them for a small dinner at a café near campus."But, I'm not a member of your team, so I can't join you." Jeremy tried to refuse in a subtle way. "Tsk, just come along. After all, you've joined us many times. Don't act like you don't know us, Jim," cut in Meredith, who didn't like the sound of Jeremy's words. "Yes, Jim, come along. You're our friend too, even though you're... well, older than us by a few notches," Lucas retorted. Although Lucas' words were quite sharp, instead of getting angry at his younger brother, Jeremy laughed and finally agreed to join despite looking stiff, awkward, and seemingly so formal.That night, the atmosphere was very cheerful. Their laughter filled the tables, and Jeremy, who had been stiff and cold, began to seem more relaxed and warm in their midst.The café was decorated with small lights hanging from the walls, giving it a warm and cosy atmosphere.Lucas
A few weeks after the festival, Raven and her friends would meet in the campus park every weekend. They liked to share stories, tell funny stories, and sometimes practice drama informally. Jeremy, who had now become a part of their group, often joined them as well, sitting casually with guitar in hand, playing light songs that created a cheerful atmosphere.One sunny afternoon, as they sat in a circle on the grass, Maya proposed an idea. "Why don't we have a picnic this weekend? It's been a while since we've had time to relax off campus."Raven was immediately enthusiastic. "Agreed! It'll be fun. We can bring food, play little games, and Jeremy can bring his guitar for entertainment!"Jeremy smiled, looked down a little embarrassed, but nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll play a few songs. But if you guys promise not to laugh at me if I play badly."Raven chuckled. "Relax, we wouldn't have the heart for that."The night before the picnic, Raven and Meredith were busy preparing the food
Raven's grip on her pendant tightened. She didn't. She didn't know them. She didn't want to go with them. But before Raven could say anything- DUARRR!!!A powerful explosion shook the university. The sound of shattering glass and loud screams mixed together. From outside, a blood-red flash of light split the night sky. That sound... that scream... Raven felt her body tremble. Something terrible was happening outside. Something related to her. Meanwhile, the first black-robed creature smiled faintly. "Look, Elara... it all started again."And in an instant, darkness engulfed the room.Darkness devoured the room in an instant. Raven could not see anything. Her breathing was ragged, her palms cold and clammy with sweat. Her body trembled not only from fear, but also from the strange feeling that was slowly running through her.A subtle whisper swirled in her head, like a voice coming from a distance. "Elara... the time has come...""Don't listen to them!" P
Professor Valtorius moved quickly, pulling Raven behind him."They won't let us go, even if you surrender," he said, his voice sharp. "Get ready, Raven. This isn't over yet."And as the mist swirled again, the creatures began to advance-The battle was inevitable.The fog grew thicker. A low rumbling sound could be heard in the distance, like something was moving closer. The creatures in the darkness were no longer just lurking-they began to step into the light, revealing their forms. Raven held her breath. The figures were tall, thin, with black eyes that shone in the darkness. Their skin looked like flowing shadows, changing shape with their steps.The whispering voice continued, echoing inside her head. "Elara... we've been waiting for you... Come back with us..."She felt her heart beating faster and faster. "Professor," she whispered in a trembling voice. "What are they...?" "The Dark Guardians," Professor Valtorius replied, his voice remaining calm though his express
Raven and Professor Valtorius immediately turned towards the source of the voice. "What?" Professor Valtorius narrowed his eyes. "She... she was kidnapped! We saw a black shadow dragging her into the portal!" the student said under his breath. Instantly, Raven's blood froze. Sister Helena...The woman who had always been there for him, who helped him from his first day at York University... Kidnapped? By whom? By Ilyana? Without thinking, Raven clenched her fists. Enough was enough.She could not keep running away from this reality. If it was true that she was Elara Blaise... If it was true that she was the last descendant of the Blaise family... Then it was time for her to face her destiny.She turned to Professor Valtorius, her eyes full of determination. "Tell me, Professor. How can I save Sister Helena?" Professor Valtorius looked at her for a moment before finally smiling a small smile. "Now you're ready." Somewhere, deep in the darkness... Sister Helen
The air around Bastion Blaise was still filled with the remnants of the mysterious figure's presence. The dense scent of mist mixed with the aura of magic that had not completely dissipated. Raven stood stiffly, her hands still gripping the pendant around her neck tightly. Professor Valtorius looked at her with a serious expression. "Are you alright?" Raven swallowed. Her heart was still beating fast, and the fear that had been holding her back was slowly turning into something else. Anger."What the hell is going on?!" her voice raised, her eyes looking straight at Professor Valtorius. "Why are they calling me Elara? Why do they want me back?" Professor Valtorius paused for a moment, as if carefully composing his words. "Because you are one of them, Raven." Raven shook her head. "No, I'm not. I don't belong to anyone! I just want to live a normal life. I never asked for any of this!" Suddenly, the wind picked up, shaking the ruins around them. It was as if the world was
Raven's heart sank. She wanted to run, wanted to scream, but her body felt rooted to the spot. The figure stepped closer. Black energy enveloped her body, creating a dark mist that swirled around her. Raven felt something tug at her chest-the pendant around her neck began to throb. And then, something even more terrifying happened. The pendant began to glow.The once faint silver glow turned bright, emitting a shimmering blue light that broke the darkness. The black-robed figure stopped his steps. It hissed, its hoarse voice like a dry twig breaking. "Do not fight your destiny, Elara.""You are the key we have been waiting for."Raven shook her head strongly. "I'm not Elara! I'm not part of this!" But before she could retreat, suddenly... GRRRAKKKK!The figure's hand shot forwards, trying to grab Raven- But before its horrible fingers could touch her skin, Professor Valtorius swung his staff."Exuro!"A wave of golden light exploded from the tip of his staff. Like a
BRAK!A loud noise from outside the door made them both flinch.Raven turned her head with her heart racing.Someone... or something... was out there.Professor Valtorius' eyes narrowed. With a quick movement, he grabbed the long staff hanging on the wall, its tip shimmering as energy began to gather around it."Raven, stay behind me.""What's going on?!" whispered Raven, her voice barely audible.Professor Valtorius did not answer. He just stared at the door which began to tremble softly... as if something was trying to get in.And just then, a strange whisper came from behind the door."Elara Blaise..."Raven's blood froze.They knew her name.They really wanted her."Elara Blaise..."The whisper came from behind the door.Raven froze.It was not a human voice. It was hoarse, echoing, as if coming from the deepest abyss of darkness."Elara... you can't hide..."Her blood froze.That name-a name she had never even recognised as her own-was now being called by something she could not
Then he raised his hand.In an instant, the air in the room shook with tremendous force.Adrian and Sister Helena felt as if gravity had changed.Blue light gathered in Professor Valtorius' hand.Then-with a swift movement-he pointed his palm towards the creature!"EXURO!"A blast of blue energy shot towards the creature.PeopleBLAARRR!The creature screamed in pain, its body was thrown backwards, hitting the wall.Black smoke billowed from its body.However, before the attack could completely destroy it, the creature moved.With incredible speed, it darted out of the room!Leaving only the faint sound of laughter that echoed in the night.After the attack, it was quiet again.Silence fell over the clinic.Adrian was still breathing heavily, while Sister Helena continued to clutch her pendant with trembling hands.Professor Valtorius took a deep breath.Then he turned to Meredith who was still unconscious.His eyes narrowed."This is just the beginning."Sister Helena nodded fearfully
But before he could react further-the shadow behind him suddenly changed shape.Entwined like a mist... then vanished.Beltharion frowned. "That thing is playing with us..."On the west side, Thalvador Grimshade stood atop the Lorrywood tower, watching over the area below.From above, the campus looked like a maze filled with darkness.The night breeze was strong, but something in the air felt... heavy.She frowned. The sky was getting blacker.Then... in the distance... Thalvador saw something moving on the roof of the dormitory building.A black figure. Hovering.Thalvador wasted no time. He darted down from the tower, landed lightly on the ground and immediately headed in the direction of the figure.But as soon as he arrived-there was only a trail of shadows that began to disappear.And on the dormitory wall, a strange red symbol was carved.Thalvador's eyes narrowed."This is getting wors
The room was filled with serious conversations about the Meredith incident."This is... not the first time," Thalvador said in a deep voice. "And I suspect it still has something to do with the incident five years ago."Beltharion nodded in agreement. "If it is indeed the same force we face, then we must act quickly before more victims fall."Magnus looked at Valtorius. "What are you going to do?"Valtorius took a deep breath, about to answer.However-the meeting room door suddenly slammed loudly.CRACK!The five university heads turned their heads in alarm.Adrian stood in the doorway with a pale face and shortness of breath.His robes were rumpled, sweat soaked his forehead, and his eyes were full of panic."What are you doing here?" Malveric asked coldly.
