Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 29
And then, everything was silent.Their breathing was still ragged. Raven wiped her cold sweat. "Did... we make it?"Lucas was still staring at the place where the shadow had disappeared. "I'm not sure. But we need to get out of here before they come back."Meredith nodded. "We have evidence. We need to find someone who can help. The police, another professor... anyone we can trust."Jeremy grabbed his mobile phone. "We can't wait any longer. They'll come again."Outside, the sky was beginning to change colour, indicating that dawn was almost here. However, they all knew... this wasn't over.This was just the beginning of something much bigger.And they had no choice but to keep going.The morning breeze began to pick up as Raven, Jeremy, Lucas, and Meredith left the old theatre.Their breathing wa

The steel door shook, the thumping sound from outside grew louder. The shadows were still trying to get in, but so far the protection in the basement was holding."We have to find a way to destroy them," Graham said, his face tense.Lucas sighed loudly. "Great. We run, we hide, but they always find us. Can we really win?"Meredith looked down at the document she was still holding. "They're afraid of this. We need to find a way to use the information here more effectively."Jeremy kicked an old chair nearby. "I can't go on like this. It feels like we're just waiting to be captured or worse..."Raven put a hand on Jeremy's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "We can't give up. We've come this far. If we can find more information, we might be able to stop them."Graham closed his book and nodded. "All right. Tonight we stay here. Tomorrow, we'll find out more. We need to stay alive and uncover the truth."The morning sun streamed through

After class ended, they left with mixed feelings. Meredith still felt uneasy, but the others seemed to be trying to enjoy their day as much as possible. "Let's go to the campus café first, shall we?" Maya suggested. "I need coffee to get my brain working again after that 'invisible energy' discussion." Lucas raised his hand. "Agreed! I'm almost out of energy." They walked together to the café located in the centre of the campus park. It was always crowded, filled with students chatting, working on assignments, or relaxing after class. The smell of coffee filled the air, mixing with the sound of laughter and the clinking of spoons in cups. Meredith took a seat by the window, letting the sunlight shine on her face. She needed a moment to calm her mind. However, as she looked out, her eyes were glued to something-the shadow of someone in the distance, standing near the library building. The man was dressed all in black, silent and motionless as if watching them. "Mer, your d

Meredith and Raven glanced at each other before going deeper into the bookcase aisle.And that's when they saw it.On one of the hidden shelves in the corner of the library, there was a dusty old book with a barely legible title. Meredith rubbed the cover, then read it quietly."Residual Energy Phenomena and Astral Traces on the Lorywood Campus."The name of their campus.Meredith's heart was pounding. What exactly was going on in this place?Meredith and Raven exchanged glances. The book before them seemedF to pulsate, as if it held something more than a simple academic text."Let's take this," Meredith whispered."Wait," Raven held up her hand. "If this is an old book, there must be a reason why it's kept on a hidden shelf."Meredith sighed and loo

Meredith locked her phone and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the uneasiness that was creeping into her mind. Not now. She didn't want to ruin this moment.Raven noticed her movement and whispered, "We'll talk about this later, okay? We need to keep it casual."Meredith nodded slowly. She decided to keep her suspicions to herself for the time being and let herself enjoy the atmosphere of the afternoon.On the court, Lucas and Jeremy were still busy competing one-on-one in their little basketball game. Maya laughed at Jeremy's attempts to get the ball in accurately."You should learn from me," Maya said while eating her ice cream casually.Jeremy snorted. "Oh yeah? Want to prove it?"Maya smiled a challenging smile. She stood up, grabbed the ball, and in one seemingly effortless motion, threw it towards the hoop. The ball travelled in a perfect traject

She turned her head and saw Raven, who was now sitting next to her sipping a cold drink.Meredith looked at the students cheering for their favourite team. "We used to be all scared, wondering what the hell was going on in this campus. Now look at us... everyone's happy, as if there was never anything terrible before."Raven was silent for a moment, then shrugged. "Maybe this is a good thing? Maybe this campus does need something to distract from all that tension.""But..." Meredith bit her lip. "Don't you think this feels... strange? Like something is just erasing our fears?"Raven looked at her deeply, then smiled a little. "Mer, sometimes humans would rather forget than remember. Who wants to live in constant fear?"Meredith wanted to argue, but Raven had a point. After all, it felt good to see everyone laughing again, without anxiety or paranoia.From the field, Jeremy waved at them. "Hey! Are you guys just there? Come on down, we need s

Mornings on the Lorywood campus are back to business as usual-or at least, that's how it seems.After a festival full of excitement, students went back to their routines. Some are still discussing the excitement of the night, especially the inflatable sumo fight between Ben and Jeremy that has now gone viral in the campus group.Others are busy with practice for the approaching sports competition.In between all that, Meredith tried to convince herself that everything was okay.That all the weirdness she felt was only in her mind. That the man in black she kept seeing was just a figment of her imagination."Of course everything is fine," she murmured softly, more to herself than anyone else.But the strange feeling remained.That afternoon, Meredith, Maya, Lucas, and Raven were g

The Lorywood campus seems to have turned into a different place in the past few days.Whereas before the atmosphere on campus was tense and mysterious, now all the students are busy enjoying all the excitement.The sports field continues to be filled with cheers, the campus park has become an impromptu picnic spot, and in the main hall, the organisers have started arranging the decorations for the dance party that will be held soon.For the first time in a long time, everyone forgot their fears."It smells so good!" Maya almost jumped for joy as she approached one of the food stalls at the small festival being held in the centre court of the campus.The stalls were lined up neatly, selling various foods from different countries. There were Japanese takoyaki, American hotdogs, Korean kimbap, and Indonesian speciality fried rice

Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 55
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
