[Xanthea] Healer Bazaar: Where magic meets medicine Catering needs of healers since the beginning of the time. (In collaboration with Helxton and Wrengmore) I read the words on the arched wooden hoarding. Multi-storey buildings flanked the cobblestone pathway. There was something about the vib
“They must have gone that way!” The people following us passed by. Once all of them were gone, I bit my lips, breaking into laughter. Ezra’s hands wrapped around my waist. He pulled me closer, his eyes lingering on my lips before they traveled back to my eyes. But I couldn’t stop laughing. “Wha
Baby unicorns? Real unicorns? My heart twisted at the mere thought as the horror behind the production of those vials flashed before my eyes. They no longer looked beautiful to me. “The abilities of the potion stored in them get enhanced considerably,” the owner said. “But they are not for sale.
[Ezra] “Is she the one? The cat you wanted as your healing partner?” Xanthea peered at me for a few seconds and then lowered her head. “N-no. I-I mean, I am excited about my new books.” She said, forcing a smile onto her face. I contemplated her for a while and then let out a sigh. ‘… Don’t try
She looked at me, confused. “I lack in so many ways. Every way. And I have realized that knowledge is not everything, and I don’t even have that kind of knowledge... yet. So, how do I… get stronger?” she asked. “First, by trusting yourself that you can. And second, as a mortal, you have your limit
[Ezra] “And at last…” I mumbled, staring at the building that was structured like a giant skull with two hollow eyes acting like the only two windows and a wide open jaw as its entrance. Chiseled into the giant skull’s forehead were words that seemed to leer at passersby— Bone Voyage: Alive skele
“Did you see the way she rolled his skull right into his bones?” Another skeleton asked. “How can I see, Bony? I have no eyes!” The caged skeletons chortled and goofed around. “Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!” Skully cried out excitedly, holding his skull in his palm. “Not everyone is this pro
[Ezra] Xanthea groaned, clutching her head as she struggled to recover from the impact of the realm jump. Her heartbeats turned more erratic. She glanced at me before turning her frenzied gaze outside the window as she scanned the roads of the Virgo pack for any sign of danger. Taking a tight gul
So… the celestials know about the curse and the throne madness.The throne madness, huh?Right. That was the very reason the curse was created in the first place.I looked at Asher and all the instances of Alpha Deimos, the demon lords’ father, suffering from the madness flashed before my eyes.Moth
The prince took a quick gulp before reading the letter addressed to my grandfather.“~Father. A lot happened after I fell from grace. I’ve missed you, mother and my siblings dearly over all these years. I want to tell you so many things, but perhaps it’s better if I don’t. Yet, there’s a part of my
Nikolai read the letter further where mother revealed her real identity to Alpha Valdimir and she assured him that the celestials would help him protect his pack.She specifically asked him to burn down her books and diaries before interacting with the celestials. Doing so would break the seal on th
[Xanthea]“These letters are enchanted and only the ones they are addressed to can unseal or open them,” the prince said.He paused.“They’ve been kept in Alpha Valdimir’s care since your mother’s death. All of them have been opened by their addressees… except yours.”“Alpha Valdimir gave me everyth
But Asher—Every inch of him was covered in them. Dense. Spreading. There wasn’t an inch of his body that hadn’t been wounded critically.How is this even possible?What the hell has he been through to end up like this?No… who did this to him?For a second, I thought it was the holy rain. Or maybe
“What’s there to understand about a grown-ass man who can’t even control his emotions? He looks like he’s a high rank celestial. Still, he lacks basic manners, etiquettes, even the rationality to fathom the consequences of his actions? He attacked the Alpha of the Infernal Pack. Do you think the Pri
[Xanthea]A sharp pulse of pain zapped through my head, every nerve and blood vessel screaming in agony. My muscles spasmed, my bones felt as if they were melting as the life force was yanked from my body and poured into my tongue — fueling the spell with raw energy.My vision blurred for a moment,
Mother had performed the spells and drawn the magic circles and symbols so many times that they became an instinct ingrained in her. And that instinct was passed down to me.I bit the tip of my finger. Ignoring Asher’s protests, I drew the recovery symbol, a symbol that accelerated healing, on his c
But I stayed calm, drawing in a deep breath while all my mother’s knowledge, experience and abilities manifested in their full force within me.I had naturally inherited 5% of my mother’s basic healer skills, which included things like instant diagnostic sight, blood analysis and manipulation, mana
