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

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
Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 42
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.
