Elder Race, a race of godlike people with strange powers lived isolated on the island, uncommunicating with the outside world except through number of deep tunnels which stretched out in all directions each hundreds if not thousands of miles long, burrowing underneath whole continents and even oceans.On this isolated island, society flourished at an extraordinary rate. Science and arts developed peacefully, never threatened by wars or epidemics; remaining purposely hidden to protect their wealth of knowledge from the calamities that habitually plagued their brothers and sisters in the outside world.But a tremendous force was soon to befall the Earth and even this Utopia was doomed to distraction if they stayed their place. Perhaps a great flood or an invading force of epic proportions; the exact reason is not known. But the story tells that the people of the island escaped by moving their societies into those tunnels and rebuilding their civilization entirely underground. No longer
The sun had long been settled at the western horizon and up above the sky the shining moon that was shaped like a sickle took its place. Captain Styles was with Audrey's squad, inside one of the quarters to share a meal with them.A scrumptious meal was prepared by a crew as a welcome gift to the new people on board. However, these young sorcerers appeared rather reserved."There is no need to stand on ceremony, no call to impress anyone."Captain Styles insinuated when he noticed that the youngsters were being too modest in front of the table. It was his idea to invite them to dine with him, to begin with. He figured this was a nice gesture considering that this would be their first night at his ship.At first, outsiders would be fooled to believe that this was all an act of goodwill on the other party's part. Only those with the keenest sense of awareness would think otherwise. Unfortunately for him, Audrey and her friends belonged to the latter. They may be young at age, but there
During her first night being on board at Captain Styles ship, Audrey had a strange dream."Help! Anyone there... please help me... Heeeeeeelp!!!!"She found herself screaming on top of her lungs. Yet no person came to her rescue.No one is there to save the poor little lass trapped inside the burning room. Audrey kept on shouting for help. A futile attempt to save her own dear life. But the street ahead was dead silent. Only the occasional flickering of the streetlight can be seen on the empty road as she tried to push herself away from the toxic air. The only door in her room suddenly fell and then there was a sudden burst of flame." I'm doomed..." she muttered under her breath with a despondent tone. Then she looked back to her window where there is no sign of life since it is in the middle of the night. Then back to her room as the fire keeps on spreading so fast and soon to consume her entire room."Don't lose hope, there's gonna be a way out of this... don't get scared... it's o
When Audrey tried opening her eyes again, the gray sky greeted her. Raindrops keeps pouring on her face as she lied on her back . Her body was facing the sky and is currently soaked with rainwater mixed with her own blood. But for some reason, she could not feel any pain; it was as though the blood around her was not hers in the first place. Nonetheless, a gasped escaped her lips when it dawned on her where she was actually lying. The pool of blood surrounding her convinced her that everything that transpired were for real.“I though it was all but a dream. But how could it explain this?”She mumbled underneath her breath as she tried to make sense of the situation. Little did she know that she was still inside the dreamland; she woke up from the previous dream only to find out in the end that she was still within another dream of her own. “What am I doing here? What is this place?”She thought out loud. Confusion was clearly written all over her face because even up until that poin
Since it comes down to it, Audrey also decided to give his grandfather a visit as well with an intention to inquire about his missing brother or if there is any news of him."It is my reckoning that the time is ripe for you to learn of your origin."Please don't tell me I'm adopted.""Adopted? That is downright hilarious, my dear."" You are a true born Lee, why would you think I would dote a stranger's child? You are my own flesh and blood through and through. But I am talking about your maternal family."Should she become curious and started asking about his ancestry, you were to tell her this: My daughter, Audrey, has Lilith's blood on her, just as I am and all the Chieftess of Mystic Muses that come before us. Tell her she was destined to take my place in the highest council way before she was even born. But as her mother, I would not like to burden her by it. The position would only be officially hers is she chose to. But know that there is a power in her blood, far greater than
Considering that it was already halfway through the day when Audrey’s group came across Captain Styles and his crew, plus the considerable amount of time it took for them to keep the negotiation rolling to their advantage, it did not come as a huge surprise when the lots of them only started sailing back into the open water when dusk was already closing in. Not that they have any complaints against it; after all, it was not like they have a say on the matter. They were not exactly in the position to be calling shots, in the first place. They could already count themselves lucky to meet someone who could rescue them from the underwater cave. Otherwise, there was no telling how long they would stay trapped in that god forsaken place.However, as the wind carried their sail forward, Steve suddenly realize an anomaly.“How come this ship is doing this?”He muttered under his breath. At this point, the guy was already wearing a conflicted expression as a result of his perplexion. So when A
“We still have a few hours left before our departure. In the meantime, go ahead and feel free to make yourself busy with your own stuff.”After a short while, Captain Styles made this announcement and almost immediately, everyone from his crew cheered and left whatever they were doing. Judging by how quickly these people reacted, Audrey’s friends could tell right away that this was how the captain and his crew normally carried out their typical task throughout day.“Interesting.”David could not help but comment and without him knowing it, he was already nodding his head in complete approval. The fact that Captain Styles could command this kind of cooperation spoke volumes of how good he was at doing his thing. The instant the captain gave the w
“You dare make a fool of people?! You must be seeking death!”The queen roared as soon as Audrey and her friends were brought to her presence. The news of them escaping the imprisonment by using sorcery and tricking her constituents to do their bidding enraged to the monarch.“Do you think my kingdom is a joke?”She went on to throw them a rhetorical question. But even without them answering her, she was already fuming with rage.“This is unforgivable. A blasphemy to the highest degree! And because of that, I sentence you to be the lowest of my slaves. Now, I will turn you people into fish to exfoliate my royal feet!"Everyone was like…The heck?When they heard the sentence given to them. At first it sounded petty and lame for them. However, when realization hit them, that was when they understand how dreadful was the punishment they were about to receive because if that were to happen, then they would be bound to forever servitude doing nothing but eating the callus off of the queen
