Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 21
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

Crack...A sound like soft footsteps came from outside the room. Raven frowned. Probably just another student still wandering the hallways, she thought.But... Crack... Crak...The steps sounded again. Closer this time. Slower. More cautious. Raven's heart beat faster. Her eyes glanced at the closed bedroom door. A faint shadow appeared from under the crack of the door, moving slowly... stopping... then moving again. It was as if the figure was observing the room from the outside. Raven held her breath, feeling her hair stand on end. She glanced at Meredith, who was still fast asleep. What should she do? Should she wake Meredith up? Or should she keep quiet and pretend to be asleep?The shadow was still there. Motionless. As if waiting for something.Suddenly, the doorknob of their room rattled. Raven immediately got up from the bed and stared at the door with wide eyes. Her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid someone outside could hear it.The door was locked, but the

Tension hung in the air like a thick fog. The entire dormitory was gathered in the courtyard, staring at the police line set up around the entrance to the back forest. Some of the campus security officers were talking to the police, while the students could only whisper, trying to digest what had just happened.Raven stood among them, feeling her heart beating erratically. The image of the horrible laughter she heard last night was still ringing in her head."I don't like this," Meredith muttered softly, standing beside her.Lucas looked at them with a tense expression. "You mean, the body that was found... has something to do with the voice we heard last night?""I don't know." Raven bit her lip. "But I have a bad feeling."Jeremy, who was standing a little further away, listened to their conversation in silence. His eyes were fixed on the police line, as if trying to see something invisible.Before long, a forensic officer came out of the forest with a stiff face. A senior policema

The sound of twigs breaking beneath their steps rang out loudly in the silent forest.Only the wind blew softly, occasionally shaking the leaves, creating eerie shadows around them.Meredith shivered. "I still think this is a bad idea..."Lucas walked beside her, looking back warily. "You're not the only one who thinks so."Jeremy, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He stared at the ground, his expression serious. "Look at this."Raven and the others approached him.In front of them, the wet ground looked messy, as if something had been dragged over it.Long scratch marks were visible on a nearby tree trunk, as if something was trying to climb up frantically.Lucas gulped. "Okay. This is definitely not the work of an ordinary animal."Raven crouched down, touching the scratch marks carefully. There was something strange. The scar on the tree looked black, like it was burnt, and when she touched it-Shit!Raven jumped in surprise. The scar felt hot."Something's strange..." She

"But it's high!" whispered Meredith frantically."Better to fall than die here!" Lucas hissed, sweat beading on his forehead.Raven didn't think twice. She ran straight to the window and smashed it with her elbow. The glass shattered, the night wind rushing in to hit them in the face.Below, the dark forest stretched out.They had no other choice.Jeremy climbed up first, then stuck out his hand. "Come on, I've got you!"Lucas helped Meredith up, then followed Raven who jumped up. They fell into the bushes, their bodies hitting the ground hard.Lucas, the last one out, almost made it, but the skinny hand grabbed his leg!The creature's eyes stared at him crazily, its jaws gaping wide with a crunching sound.

Raven, Jeremy, Lucas, and Meredith looked at each other with tense faces. The atmosphere of the canteen, which had been filled with the sound of noisy chatter, suddenly felt more pressing."We should see for ourselves," Jeremy said quickly, his eyes flashing with caution. Without waiting for a reply, he stood up and walked out.Lucas sighed. "I knew this would end badly..." he muttered, but followed anyway.They exited the canteen, joining the crowd gathered in front of the administration building. In the centre, a student was lying on the ground. His breathing was still ragged, but his face-oh God, his face was covered in scratches, deep and messy, like he'd been clawed by something with long, sharp claws.Meredith covered her mouth, almost screaming. "Who did this to her?!"Some students whispered in panic, while others seemed too scared to approach. A lecturer and a campus security officer tried to calm the situation. "Everyone stand back! Let us handle this!"Jeremy observed the s

Tension enveloped Raven, Jeremy, Lucas, and Meredith as they stood frozen inside the archive room. Their breath was held, pulse racing. In the doorway, Professor Lorry stared at them with a sharp expression, and behind her, a tall shadowy figure with fiery red eyes stood still, as if watching its prey."You guys are really giving me a hard time," Lorry's voice was low, almost a whisper, but full of menace. "I knew you'd find out sooner or later... but I didn't expect this soon."Jeremy braced himself, stepping slightly forward. "What are you hiding? What did you do to those students? And why are our names on that list?"Lorry grinned, but did not reply. The red-eyed shadow behind her moved, its body like a pulsating mist in the darkness. Instantly, a chill settled over the room, making their hair stand on end.Meredith bit her lip, her hand gripping Lucas's arm. "We need to get out of here. Right now."Lucas nodded, but their steps were halted when Lorry raised one hand. "No one's co

The night breeze became more piercing as Raven, Jeremy, Lucas, and Meredith ran through the narrow alleys at the back of the campus.Their breathing was ragged, adrenaline still ruling their bodies. The police sirens sounded closer, but somehow, it didn't make them feel safe. Instead, there was a bad feeling hanging in the air."We can't stop here," Jeremy said, his eyes searching for a way out.Lucas nodded, his face tense. "If they know we have these documents, they won't stay quiet. We need to find a safe place first."Meredith looked back, trying to make sure no one was following them. "But where? They must have sealed off the whole place. We don't even know who to trust."Raven clenched her fists. "I know one place. But we have to hurry."Without waiting for an answer, Raven ran first, leading them through the narrow alleys until they finally reached an old, forgotten-looking building. It was an old theatre building that was no longer in use. The wooden door creaked as they pushe

Its body was covered in lifeless black eyes, and from its back extended like wings of sharp mist.At the centre of its indistinct face, there were only two pale lights... looking directly at him."The Night Watcher..." she whispered in horror.The stone door rumbled, opening only slightly. Valtorius shouted, "Come in, now!"Raven dashed forward, but... just as she was about to reach the gate, a shadowy claw swooped down from behind-throwing them both against the wall with tremendous force."ARGH!" Valtorius was blown away, his body hitting the stone hard.Raven fell, her chest tight, her pendant slipping off and sliding to the floor.The gate... closed again, slowly but surely. The spell was broken.Valtorius lifted his face, blood pouring from his temples. "No... not now..."The voice came again. But this time it wasn't a whisper."You cannot run from me, Elara. I have waited too long for you."The Night Watcher stepped forward, his shadow swallowing the light, muting the air, even t
Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 54
The Night Watcher had remembered his name."He smells the way. He will hunt them down between the passages of time and space. There is no place to hide. There is no safe place." The voice did not come from the mouth, but echoed in the heads of all who were there.The black-robed figure spread his arms. "Find him. Smell the traces of his blood. And bring her home-either alive... or fully exposed."The Night Watcher climbed out completely. His body was tall, yet not fixed in shape. He merged with the shadows, and as he stepped, the floor beneath him turned frozen, cracked, and dead.Without the sound of a step, without a gesture, the creature disappeared-merging with the darkness beyond the world, moving swiftly like a nightmare that slips between the beats of time.And the last whisper before it vanished was a bone-chilling sound"I see you, Elara... I see you..."Their footsteps echoed down the damp, old stone hallway, illuminated only by the faint glow of the Raven pendant that now h

"We remember you."Raven shivered. She glanced at Valtorius, but the professor remained silent, focused on guiding their steps. But Raven knew she heard it, too.Suddenly, around the corner of the hallway, there was a low growl. Valtorius halted his steps, his hand raised, ready to cast magic.From behind a thin mist, a creature emerged-its height almost touching the ceiling, its body shrouded in a pitch-black mist that flowed like smoke.Its eyes glowed blood red."Guardian of the Eastern Gate," Valtorius hissed. "We must pass through. But not with brute force."The creature stepped forward, and its heavy voice echoed"Give me a name. A true name. Or stay here... forever."Raven stared at Valtorius, terrified. "What does that mean? A true name?"Valtorius looked at her deeply. "Your name, Raven.
Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 52
The black-robed figure laughed softly. "Of course you know me. I am the part of life that you forgot. I am the truth they tried to hide from you."Suddenly, the room shook violently again. From outside, there was a loud bang followed by a heartbreaking scream that echoed throughout the building. Something-or someone-was charging in, bringing even greater horror than before.The shattered door was now wide open, revealing a hallway filled with a dark mist that crawled across the floor like a living creature. In that mist, shadows flashed rapidly, creating whispers that sliced through the air.Valtorius quickly grasped Raven's wrist. "We need to get out of here. Right now."But before they could move, the black-robed figure raised one hand, creating a swirl of shadows that shot towards them. Valtorius swiftly formed an energy shield, blocking the attack before it could touch them."You think you can protect her forever, Professor?" the figure's voice sounded even colder. "Elara is one o

"They're already here..." muttered Valtorius in a deep voice that was almost a whisper, but still clearly audible amidst the chaos.A loud knock echoed from the room's door, not just any knock - more like a heavy blow that nearly cracked the wood. And the voice returned, calling out in a hoarse, threatening tone."Elara... Elara Blaise... You can't hide forever..."Raven's blood rushed. That voice... too real, too close. She could feel the coldness of every syllable summoned by the figure out there. Not only that-there was something inside her that trembled violently, responding to the call in a way she could not understand.Professor Valtorius stepped forward, raising his hand. Ancient symbols glowed in the air, forming a layer of protection around them. "Listen to me, Raven," he said firmly. "You must endure. Don't let them get inside your mind."But that's easier said than done.The door rumbled again. This time, the sound of wood cracking could be heard so clearly. A strange light

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
Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 48
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
