The New studentThe soft, golden rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across Damien’s room. Outside, birds chirped happily, filling the crisp autumn air with their lively melody. The sky was a clear blue, with only a few wisps of clouds lazily drifting by, promising a perfect day ahead.Damien stirred under the covers, blinking against the light that gently nudged him awake. His eyes slowly adjusted as he stretched, feeling the coolness of the morning air against his skin. He could hear the faint sounds of life stirring in the house – the clatter of dishes, the hum of conversation, the smell of coffee drifting up from the kitchen.Pushing himself out of bed, Damien ran a hand through his tousled hair and glanced at the clock. It was still early, but the day had already begun. He quickly threw on a t-shirt and jeans before heading down the hall to find his younger sister, Clary, already waiting by the stairs.“Good morning,” she greeted him with a

Damien smirked, leaning back in his chair as if accepting her challenge. “I’m into obscure mythology and folklore. You know, stuff most people wouldn’t bother reading about.”“Really?” Matilda’s eyes lit up, feeling a connection immediately. “That’s so cool! I love mythology, too. It’s like looking into a world we’ll never really understand, but it’s so fascinating to try.”Damien looked surprised for a moment, then laughed softly, his demeanor relaxing. “I don’t meet a lot of people who think like that.”“Well,” Matilda said, standing directly across from him without really thinking about it, “you just did.”For the first time, Damien’s smile seemed genuine, his eyes softening as he looked at her. “Guess I did.”The librarian hushed them making them both chuckle a bit realizing that they were talking out loud in a place that was supposed to be quiet. Damien doesn’t come to the library often, he was only there because he was trying to get clues about what other creatures could be at p

Off to EnglandAs the days went by, Matilda and Damien became more close. They did almost everything together. Matilda dragged Damien so far away from his usual friend group to be with only her. It was almost as if they were dating. Felix, Lydia and the others complained constantly that Damien had been distant but he kept reassuring them that it was because of exams that he hadn’t been around them much. The moment their exams were concluded, Damien met up with Matilda.“Hey.”“Hey.”“So how were your exams?”“You know, the usual. Not too bad and not too good but the results will tell. How was yours?”“I don’t usually take exams too seriously, a C is usually good enough for me but studying with you made me feel like that grade was too little.”“Because it is.”“You’re at it again. Why can’t you just let me fail in peace?” Damien asked jokingly.“Because what kind of friend let her friend fails exams?”“The supportive type?” Damien asked. “What if I want us to be more than just friends

Lupa reached Verdant with Clary and Damien and Mrs. Tara Wolf was already at the gate waiting for them. The moment she saw Clary and Damien, she grabbed them both and enclosed them in a deep hug.“Grandma, I’m finding it hard to breathe.”“Oh sorry. I keep forgetting that I have super strength.” Tara apologized. “Come on let me take you my house and help you get settled in.”Tara and the kids got into her car while Lupa remained outside.“Are you not coming?” Tara asked Lupa. “Nope. I just got a month off. I’m going to do anything other than watch these kids.” Lupa said. “They’re your problem now.”“Don’t worry I understand.” Tara laughed. “I was always looking for spaces to get away from Claud when he was younger too. He was a handful. Enjoy your month off from your parenting duties. I’ll take care of the little ones.”“Little ‘ONE’.” Damien corrected. “I’m a man now.” As he said that Tara and Lupa burst into loud, annoying laughter. “Whatever you say sport.” Lupa said as she ente

The MissionThere was a knock at the door so Claud went to answer it. “Zakaria. How are you doing? I didn’t know you would be coming here.”“I wasn’t planning to.” Zakaria said. “I just came to grab the kids before their dad gets them killed.”“So you’re the mom…” Claud said. “Damn bro. How did it happen? I thought you guys weren’t bound anymore.”“We aren’t.” Zakaria said. “When we left together, we developed feelings for each other, the normal way and then a thing led to another and here we are.”“Since you’re here. Why don’t you stay and help us out. It’ll be like old times.”“In case you forgot, I’m no longer a vampire. I can’t really help you guys out. I just came to grab my boys.”“Our boys you mean.” Lycidas corrected. “They’re my kids too, you know I won’t let anything bad happen to them.”“Some things are beyond your control.” Zakaria said. “Just let me take them home with me. There are safer ways to spend a holiday.”“I think you should let them decide.” Lycidas said. “They

** ** **Damien had finally managed to escape from his grandmother’s relentless training. What had started as an exciting opportunity quickly turned into a grueling ordeal. Every muscle in his body ached, and his mind was clouded with fatigue. The training, meant to sharpen his instincts, had become unbearable. Using the excuse that he needed a break to relieve himself, he slipped away from the house, intent on stealing a moment of peace. As soon as he was clear of the property, Damien broke into a brisk walk, letting the cool air ease some of the tension from his body.The winding path led him toward the forest just beyond the estate, its towering trees swaying gently in the late afternoon breeze. At first, the walk was calming, the soft crunch of leaves beneath his feet a welcome distraction from the weight of the day. But as he wandered further, something odd tugged at his senses. A strange, almost magnetic pull drew him deeper into the woods. It was subtle at first, like a whi

The mission IIThe moon hung high in the night sky, a glowing orb surrounded by a sea of inky darkness, casting a silvery light across the deserted quarry they had chosen for the trap. The place was secluded, far from the city’s edge, where the sounds of life faded into the quiet hum of nature. Jagged rocks jutted up from the ground like broken teeth, and the air was cool, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and pine. Sparse trees lined the perimeter, their branches swaying gently in the breeze, casting shifting shadows that danced across the uneven terrain.Claud stood in the center of the clearing, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight, his senses heightened by the full moon’s pull. His sharp gaze scanned the quarry as he stretched, feeling the energy coursing through him. His muscles tensed in anticipation, ready to pounce at the first sign of movement.Beside him, Lycidas stood, the eldershard crystal hanging from a silver chain around his neck. The amulet itself pulsed with a f

“We know you’re already here.” Claud's voice boomed out. His muscles were already pulled taut with tension.“Jeez, If you’re going to yell, at least give us warning so we can take off the earpiece.” Zakaria complained with a wince. “A new eardrum is not easy to come by.”“Shut up. I’m trying to concentrate.” Claud whispered into his earpiece before continuing. “Come out let’s settle this like men.”The boss turned to her right man, the one who suspected this whole setup to be a trap. “Go on then.” She started. “Find out what they want.”He grumbled before stepping out.“You’re the boss?” Claud asked. “I believe I am.”“I was actually expecting someone more powerful.” Claud said. “What are you? An ogre too?”He was surprised that Claud knew about the ogres but he kept his cool. “I’m a changeling.”“Sure whatever.”“I assume you called out to us because you wanted to return the crystal you stole?”“I don’t think it’s considered stealing if it was taken from someone who also stole it.”
