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

    The days at Lorywood Campus are still full of colour. The festival continues, and the ball is just days away. There seemed to be no room for fear. On the centre court, the dodgeball game is getting more and more exciting. Cheers erupted, fuelling the spirits of those competing.Jeremy performed another amazing manoeuvre, dodging the ball with an almost impossible leap. "Jeremy! I swear, you're not human!" shouted Lucas from the stands. Jeremy just laughed smugly. "Of course not. I'm superhuman." Meredith, who was sitting with Maya and Ben, just shook her head with a smile. On the other side, the prom committee was busy with the final preparations. The main hall had been decorated with dim lights, and in the music room, rehearsals were going on. Everything was peaceful. It was almost like a little paradise. However, amidst all the excitement, something felt... odd. Something that could only be sensed by those who were sensitive enough. Meredith let out a long sigh as sh

    Sister Helena stared intently at the pale face of Meredith who had regained consciousness. Beside her, the school guards still stood with questioning expressions.Meredith's last words echoed in their heads."Raven."Sister Helena let out a long breath, trying to think clearly."How much do you know about that child?" she asked the school guard.The man shook his head. "Not much. But if she's Meredith's roommate, then they're pretty close, right?"Sister Helena tapped her fingers on the table. "Could be. Or it could be the other way round."Her tone of voice made the custodian frown. "What do you mean?"Sister Helena looked straight into the man's eyes."We don't know for sure what happened to Meredith, but she mentioned Raven's name before passing out. That could mean two things-she asked for Raven, or she accused Raven."The school guard swallowed."And given her condition..." Sister Helena continued in a

    It was getting late, but neither Sister Helena nor Mr Adrian showed any sign of wanting to stop. They were now sitting in the clinic's administration room, piles of incident reports and student records scattered across the table. "So," Sister Helena said with a sigh, "you're sure those footprints came from someone who was in the garden before Meredith was found?" Mr Adrian nodded, his hands pressing against his temples. "Yes. The footprints are bigger than Meredith's, and too deep. Someone stood there for a long time. And the direction of the tracks is towards the library." Sister Helena bit her lip. "And Raven was in the library that night..." "True," Mr Adrian leaned back in his chair. "But what puzzles me are Meredith's words before she fainted-'She was there... but not her.' What does that mean?" Sister Helena shook her head slowly. "Maybe... something 'other' took Raven's form?" The atmosphere in the room was suddenly colder. Mr Adrian straightened up. "You think th

    The sound of a woman's scream could be clearly heard as the church bells rang out to signal the start of the morning. Soon a woman was seen being dragged away by two men, both of her legs had been broken so that she could not escape."Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh." The woman's voice of pain sounded heart-wrenching, breaking the silence of the morning. The young woman was dragged by force then tied to a pole. Her screams were heard all the way to the end of the village, and curious people began to emerge one by one after hearing her screams."Everyone has decided." A man's voice shouted loudly cutting off the screams of the woman whose clothes had been torn here and there, "you have allied yourself with the devil.""Let go of me!" The woman shouted, the look in her eyes not implying the slightest fear. Ignoring the woman's words, the man dressed as a priest who had been ringing the bell came forward and shouted in her ear. "And, have given birth to their offspring! So I must say what the

    The night wind blew strongly, carrying the scent of death from Marie's steaming pile of ashes.Simon Oberon stood at the edge of the field, his eyes blank with vengeance. "Hunt him down," he whispered to the two soldiers standing next to him. "Find his daughter. There is no place on earth large enough for him to hide from me."Simon's two men immediately carried out their superior's orders. They ransacked the houses of all the villagers and set Marie's house on fire so that she could not return to it. They also continued their search to the edge of the forest. Both of them looked hesitant, but the two soldiers were forced to cancel their intention to return when they saw Simon and the others had already caught up and led them all into the forest. "We must find the girl until we do. I will not let Marie Blaise's descendants live to pollute this world with their magic."In the dark and winding forest, Grace, the aunt of the little girl, continued to run, her breath coming in short gas

    Simon Oberon lay on the ground, his body convulsing from the impact of Elara's power. The sound of his heartbeat could be heard in his own ears, the rumble of his heavy breathing blending with the chilling night wind. He tried to get up, but the magical power was still clinging to his body as if locking his body and soul from rising again.With a vengeful gaze, Simon looked towards the cave. His lips trembled with pain, but in his soul, the hatred and intent to destroy Elara was burning."I... will not lose...," he muttered, his eyes narrowed with determination. "That little girl must die, not me! All of Blaise's descendants must be wiped off the face of this earth, I will make sure there is no more Blaise blood in the world!"Inside the cave, Wilhelm quickly approached Elara who looked weak after unleashing that great power. "Are you alright?" asked Wilhelm, his hand touching Elara's forehead to ensure that she was still conscious.Wilhelm's face looked worried, although he knew Ela

  • Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs   Ch 4 Wilhelm Vs Tertius

    Simon Oberon stood in front of the cave ruins, his body still aching from the impact of Elara's magical energy. However, the hatred bubbling in his heart overcame that physical pain. In Simon Oberon's eyes, madness and vengeance were burning.His desire was burning and unstoppable. He did not even care if he had to use other dirty means to get his wish. He looked at the direction where the magical passage disappeared, his breath coming in short gasps, but his heart full of determination to annihilate the entire Blaise family members without a trace. "Call Tertius," Simon ordered his closest soldier in a hoarse voice. "We need all the strength we have to go after them. The girl must be stopped."The soldier looked down in fear before rushing to summon Tertius, the notoriously sadistic and cruel shadow mage. Simon knew that this was no longer an ordinary fight. This was a war between Blaise's bloodline and the darkness he had been building without anyone's knowledge for years."Ther

    The mist grew thicker as Elara and Grace entered the old town of Silverthorne. Around them, ancient buildings made of massive stone looked as if they had witnessed thousands of years of history. Trees clung to their walls, gripping them like hands forgotten by time. The atmosphere felt cold and tense, while the mountain breeze rustled gently, carrying faint sounds from the past."This town...," Elara murmured in a trembling voice. "Why does it feel so lonely and full of sadness?"Grace turned her head, her gaze serious. "This is no ordinary place, Elara. Silverthorne was once the Blaise family's power centre. Many have fallen here-friends and foes alike. We walk upon an old battlefield, and the power that remains here has not been fully extinguished."Their footsteps were heavy. Elara could feel the strange energy of the ground beneath her feet, as if something was watching them, waiting.In the distance, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a rumble that broke the silence.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
