CLAIRE's POVDiana had not mentioned the name or whoever has ordered her to push me into the pond, but deep down i knew exactly who it was. My gaze on Diana never faded. I kept my eyes on her, as she kept her gaze to the ground.Why could she not look me in the eye? Why was she avoiding my gaze? I was supposed to be burning with anger, but all I could feel was hurt, which filled my chest, making it difficult to breath.Why has I foolishly trusted that maybe, somehow, Diana had come to like me, and wanted to be closer to me. How could I have been so delusional. I was seated in the water, with no will to move or get myself out of the pond, despite how cold I felt.I was stunned to shocked to move."Why? So everything you told me was a lie? You never felt sorry for the incident at the library? You never wanted to train me?" I asked.Why was I asking all of these? I knew the answer to these questions, but I wanted to hear it from her. Maybe I still had a bit of hope that maybe Diana had c
CLAIRE's POVI stirred on a soft surface as I felt my consciousness returning slowly. Where was I? My eyes snapped open and I shot up from the bed, my breathing haggard. I looked around and immediately saw that I was in my room.I groaned as my head rang with my pain, and my body felt sore. What had happened? I tried to recall, but my memory was hazy. How had I gotten my room? What was I doing in the first place?I groaned again as a sharp pain throbbed in my head. The more I tried to remember, the more it hurt. I closed my eyes as the pain in my head subsided when the sound of my room door clicking open caught my attention.My eyes flew open and I looked towards the door. It swung open and Vera walked in. She paused when she saw me awake and her eyes went wide."Claire," she breathed, her gaze never leaving me.She rushed towards me and sat by me. Vera cupped my cheeks and looked my straight in the eyes."How are you feeling? Are you okay?"I was still in a confused, so I could only
CLAIRE's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, my hands clasped tightly in my lap. The room was quiet, except for the occasional creak of the palace walls. The atmosphere was tense, and I could feel my nerves getting the best of me. I had been anticipating this day for weeks, but now that it was finally here, I wasn't sure if I was ready.I knew how important the clan wars was to my father, and I could not mess that up for him. It was no secret that the whole calm probably knew about my existence, and each and everyone of them would be curious to see how much mastery I possessed in telekinesis.I had committed myself to training for the past week, determined to prove them wrong and show my father what I was capable of. I tried to convince myself that I was ready for this competition, that I had worked hard and improved my skills. But as the minutes ticked by, my uncertainty grew. What if I failed? What if I embarrassed myself in front of my father and the rest of the clan?I could not affo
CLAIREAs I gazed out of the window, the scenery whizzed by in a blur. I couldn't focus on anything in particular, my mind was too preoccupied with the upcoming clan wars. I was nervous about what was to come, and whether I would be able to prove myself in front of my father and the rest of the clan.Suddenly, my father turned to me and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Claire, since this is your first clan war, let me explain to you about the divisions that exist in our clan," he said.I turned to face him, eager to listen and learn. "In our clan, there are four divisions - the Pyrokinetics, the Cryokinetics, the Electromancers, and the Telekinetics," he explained. "Each division foresees different aspects of the clan, and it is our duty to work together to maintain balance and harmony within our community."All these names sounded new to me, and I had no idea what they meant.I nodded, taking in his words carefully. "And the clan wars, it's a friendly competition, right?" I
CLAIRE's POVI could not believe what I was hearing. It was taking me a lot of time to process this information."Father mentioned that his family was a division on its own, and I'm part of this family, so why can't I join?" I asked, feeling hurt spread across my chest.Vera put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a sad smile."Yes, you are correct, but it is a bit different. Eliana and Diana are known to be the strongest in this realm, and so
DOMINIK's POVAfter much preparation, Luis and I set out, to find this mythical creature Ube had told us about. I took my time doing some research about the Griffith, and I asked around, for anyone who might have seen this creature.But just as Luis has said, no one had seen this creature, but it's name was well known. There was nothing else to do, so I set out on a journey with my beta, determined to find this beast.The road we followed was
DOMINIK's POVI stood at the top of the mountain, my senses sharpened and my heart racing as I gazed at the silhouette within the thick fog. Luis, who was standing beside me, was breathing shallowly, and I could hear his heart race with anticipation.As the fog cleared, we saw the creature in all its terrifying glory. It was a massive beast, at least twice the size of a fully grown wolf, with sharp, gleaming scales covering its body. Its long, serpentine tail whipped back and forth behind it while its wings, which spanned wider than the length of our bodies, flapped restlessly in the air. The Gri
CLAIRE's POVI sat in the arena, feeling uncomfortable among the members of the cytokinetics division. Even though Livia has told me to make myself feel at home with them, I still felt like an outsider. The difference in our telekinetic abilities made me feel inferior, and the fact that Marcus still wouldn't accept me didn't help.I sighed and looked down at my lap, feeling a bit sad. Suddenly, I felt a presence next to me, and I looked up to see Kira approaching me. "Hey, Claire," she said with a warm smile. "I noticed you were looking a bit down. Is everything okay?"
