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

    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.

  • Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs   Ch 1 Marie Blaise

    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.

    The energy from the battle between Elara and Simon grew so intense that the sky above Silverthorne turned a dusky red.The thunderstorm began to flash uncontrollably, and every lightning bolt that hit the ground made the ruins of the city tremble, as if the old city was also feeling the tension that was overflowing between the two.The wind picked up speed and slowly became a tornado ready to sweep away anything in its path. Grace could only stare in dismay, realising that this clash was too strong even for her."Elara!" shouted Grace, trying to reach her niece who was at the centre of the energy vortex. "You must retreat! This city will be destroyed if you keep fighting!"However, Elara no longer heard anything. Her focus was completely centred on Simon, who was now smiling slyly despite the growing number of wounds on his body.Behind his cold face, Elara could feel Simon's fear, a fear that was hidden behind every word he said. They both knew this was a decisive battle."Are you r

    "It is a tradition between mother and daughter in your family to give away their valuables. I think your mother would have wanted you to wear it from today."Raven looked down, although the memory of her mother had not fully returned, but Raven often heard from her aunt that her mother had left her when she was a child due to an accident. After saying thank you and goodbye, Raven stepped into the dormitory leaving behind Grace who drove away in her favourite car."Goodbye Elara." Grace whispered behind the wheel while looking at Raven who had disappeared behind the dormitory door before finally stepping on the accelerator of her car. Inside the silent dormitory building, Raven looked at the long corridor with many doors standing in a row. It was a new beginning, but her heart felt heavy. Raven wore the blue-eyed necklace that Grace had just given her-it felt so familiar, as if it had a power that she couldn't understand. As she stepped deeper, the lights in the hallway suddenly fl

    "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.

    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

    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
