Selene finally recovered after a period of recuperation. However, like what she had threatened Audrey that day, the fire had burnt off all of her hair and eyebrows. Selene’s head looked like an egg then, and other than facial features, it was spotless.The vain Selene cried and mourned what had happened to her every day. She was unwilling to take a single step out of her room, and she kept her mouth shut as to what had happened to her that tragic day. Even if she wanted to cause trouble for Audrey, she had no excuse to do so. He could only visit various auction houses and fork out a large sum of money for potions that could promote hair growth to fix Selene’s bald head.To avoid another untoward incident before they could invite the sage to their home, Hefetus immediately tasked someone to send the Snow Spirit Fox to the God Realm. Not long after that, he received news from them.In ten days time, the sage would leave for the Iridos, and he would also grace the Blacksmith Guild with h
With their strongest rival out of equation, winning the competition became a piece of cake for Audrey's group. Thus, it did not take that long before they emerged victorious; putting an end to the mock test, earlier than expected. However, unbeknownst to them, their success also attracted unwanted attention. Trusting his hunch, the evil school master paid close attention to the winning team since he highly suspected that his target was hiding in their midst. All along, no one but the people of Mystic Muses suspected Professor Sonny to be the apprentice necromancer in disguise. He had been hiding right under their noses. Now, Audrey' secret was close to being exposed! Meanwhile, oblivious to this impending trouble, Audrey's group along with their other fellow students who participate in the mock test, huddled back to their respective dormitories. Almost immediately, Audrey climbed at her bed and collapsed to its comfort right away. The same thing goes to her friends as that they al
By the time that hour hand of the clock hit twelve, Audrey's group was already done putting the last book back on its shelf. However, they did not look as thrilled as they thought they would be. They were able to find the answer that they were looking for. But at the same time, it was also not the kind of answer that they were hoping to get. "I knew that completing this quest won't be an easy feat. But who would have thought that it would be this hard? Isle of De los? Seriously, of all places?" Slumping back at one of the chairs, Nike ran his fingers up his messy hair. The others also wore the same conflicted expression and they all looked dejected if not tired. After going through multiple records that has anything related to the encounter with Graes, the group finally realized that their chance for success was next to zero. Entering and finding the lair of the Petrifying monster within the heart of the Land of Dawn, an inhabited sanctuary for all the rare and formidable beast, w
"Great! Now, we can safely assume that we are finally onto something and we won't be running around like a bunch of headless chicken."Jace exclaimed, delighted that they finally have something to look forward to, and not just merely a clue.However, for some reason, Niccoli seemed to fail to recognize the implied sarcasm in the other party's statement and so he retorted,"Basically, a chicken won't be able to run if it no longer has its head because it means they are dead, no?"Fighting the urge to roll his eyes upon hearing this response, Jace replied flatly."And so do we. We could be as good as dead too if we will just set to action, oblivious of what lies ahead or in this case, where to start looking.Truth be told, Jace's concern was not unfounded. Their days of searching might not be considered futile. Nonetheless, it was still not that fruitful either; or at least according to Jace's standard, the result they have so far was below satisfactory.This was due to the fact that de
"Alright, so according here, deep inside the center of forest, you will find a clearing; small patched of land separated from the rest and marked by a picket fence made of human bones." There you will find the hug's hut where there is a phrase you need in order to enter safely:"Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Only by riding the Grae's famed vehicle "Mortal" could they leave the place safely.But when one of the sisters refused to help, Audrey was left with no choice but to steal it from them.The Grae's tried to stop them but thankfully they succeeded from taking it away. Although they have no idea how to get to their destination, they heaved a collective sigh of relief when they passed by the Slamming Rock and it did not move. Only the Mortar can passed it without activating the rock's enchantment."Good, now where is the broomstick?"---- Steve"Oh, don't worry. I already broke it."----Allan"You did what?"-----Nike"I broke it into two so that the Grae's won't be
Tsking in annoyance, Jace, slammed the book shut. This was the hundredth book in his care."I can't find any!"He cried out afterward, but not before frustratingly putting the book down. This sudden and almost forceful action made the cloud of dust rise from the surrounding floor."I can't believe no one has thought about at least jotting down a few pointers or deliberately writing the trick of how to get past those set of uselessly huge boulders that threatens to turn anyone that crosses it into human meat paste."Jace added as he was getting increasingly vexed the more he thought about it. Meanwhile, Niccoli gave the other party a brotherly pat on his shoulder."Or maybe, no one has lived to tell the tale yet. Who knows? Maybe, our group will be the pioneer to write its manual.""That is some wishful thinking you have there. But I like the sound of it."Steve seconded with a grin. It was during times like this that he really could not help but admire the young prince's optimism. Mea
After gathering every piece of information that they could possibly get, the group decided to leave the library. In fact, if it were not that they noticed how pale their friend Andrew was, they would high likely recommend to start the quest right away. After all, it was not like they still have the luxury of time to dawdle around. They were not the only group eyeing the reward for the head of Petrifying Monster.Moreover, there were other groups as well who had gone first before them. They were running out of time. That was why, as much as they could, they did not want to waste any more time. Of course, they would not like their efforts to be for naught once someone else managed to snag to reward after all their hard work.Only by riding the Grae's famed vehicle "Mortal" could they leave the place safely. But when one of the sisters refused to help, Audrey was left with no choice but to steal it from them.The Grae's tried to stop them but thankfully they succeeded from taking it away
It would not be an exaggeration if they would claim that the past couple of minutes had gone into a complete waste. Apparently, the difference between what they already knew an hour ago versus the additional data that they had gathered after staying an extended hour at the library was indistinguishable if not nearly neglectable to say the least.It goes without saying that the lack of improvement was starting to get increasingly frustrating; this was especially so to Nero. After all, patience was never one of his strongest traits, in the first place.[Regardless of how many of them you read, the most that they could do is just give us a heads up and I believe we already have all the necessarily heads up we needed.]At around half an hour marked, Nero started running his mouth. Implying to his master that it was about time they put an end to their research and moved on to the next agenda. However, Audrey was determined to turn a deaf ear to this request. Annoyed at being ignored, the
