Sloane's Summoning
“I still think we should check it out more thouroughly,” said Briane as he whipped a thick lasso to the Shorne. It neighed loudly before setting off.
Sloane massaged her temple as she leaned on the carriage, feeling exhausted despite doing nothing. “Shut it, Briane! Berry has a point.” She had to shout it over the noise of the Shorne’s gallop.
Arguing to wielders whose mind was pretty much set wouldn’t do much good, at least in Berry’s perspective. It would be more like talking to a stone, which was why after telling them they’d be going back to the Plazarium, he didn’t wait for their response and made his way to the carriage. His decision wasn’t groundless, though. If ever they wanted a higher chance of moving closer to the forest, they have to bring with them a wielder who, likewise, could manage an almost invisible attack.

“Troxe,” Z was saying. “It took some of my energy and went berserk.” Z was sitting on the ground with her hands wrapped around her knees, the Shadowests squatting closed to her. Briane just finished telling her the accident two days ago, and, somehow, she had an explanation for it. Though there weren’t human casualties, Blame still thought she’s accountable for what has happened. “Troxe?” Berry looked at her with plain curiosity. “Never heard of it.” Z’s eyes lingered on the cloth coiling on his arms. Sloane followed her stares and found herself shrinking. She still couldn’t get over the fact that they’ve almost died because she couldn’t do what she was expected to do. Why did Berry expect, though? She was a Noble, a mediocre being who would never be able to go toe-to-toe with a Skipper, let alone do something big as saving other Wielders. She tried to apologize, but Berry dismissed it by saying it was his fault fo

“Are we just gonna sit like this all day?” whispered Sloane as she tried to free herself from the rope tying both her arms. Briane sniggered. “I know my back is soft, Babe, but stop rubbing it. It tickles!” “Yuck! Don’t you have any dignity left in you?” The Shadowest were sitting back to back from each other, a rope wrapped around their waists as additional security from the rope on their hands. They were supposed to fight, but Blame thought otherwise, so they just let the Zorpheans took them as they please. Despite them being a traitor, they weren’t crude enough to hurt them when they didn’t pose a threat, though they tied them down in case they showed any signs of escaping. “I do hope you have a plan, Blame. They’re just about five. We can take them down—” “For someone who’s intelligent, you sound dumb.” Z sighed. “Look! I know we’re pressed in time, but this will all be worth it if we get to know who’s controlling these rebels.” “I

“Woah! Is this the place, Briane?” blurted out Slone, her eyes so wide Briane feared it would fall. They arrived at the Forbidden Forest a little bit late. It was dusk; the sky blue tint painting the horizon dimmed to indigo but with the hint of the golden and orangeish explosion of colors as the sun made its way to a deep slumber. If it weren’t through the Zorpheans and Berry who needed to rest, they would have arrived sooner. Though the Zorpheans let them go, Briane couldn’t help but threatened them just to make sure they wouldn’t make a move against them. “Don’t be fooled, Sloane!” said Briane to a hush, focusing his eyes on the scope of the forest. “It’s in that very spot that a man had died by merely standing!” They were at the bushes where Briane hid. Thousands of fireflies were fluttering in the air, dancing with the wind, illuminating the path leading to the forest. The bulb on their butts cradled purple light that flickered madly, its colors reflecti

“Look, Zoriah! I don’t know if you’re messing with me or what. You’ve been whining about not being able to help heroes because you lost your eyes, but here I am, trying to give you a solution for your dilemma, yet you’re outright rejecting it. How thick can you get?” Michelle was sitting on a wooden stool—which was literally a trunk of a tree split into six pieces, its other halves placed neatly in the corner. It was hard for her to take Zoriah seriously, especially when her room was filled with vines of different lengths, acting more like a curtain on the wall. On top of that, there were jars, containing slimy liquid and small parts of creatures she couldn’t distinguish, standing in rows on a shelf that looked as though it was about to collapse. If it’s not through the hole in her eyes, Michelle would’ve thought she’s insane. Well, actually, Zoriah’s insane; insanely strong to be able to live without light. “Respect, Child, is bestowed upon my divinity, for it is wh

“Why are we running again?” said Sloane as she halted, putting her hands on her knees. Despite all her attempts to steady her breathing, she still couldn’t collect herself and she felt as though any moment she’d collapse. Briane smirked as he traced his way back to Sloane who was left behind for about twenty meters. He knew she’d give up soon. They were running at full speed for about twenty minutes, and he was ticking off the time Sloane would complain. “What did I tell you, Honeybunch? Didn’t I say you’ll complain soon?” Sloane glared at him, massaging the soreness of her feet. “You’re just arrogant coz you can use your energy to run as fast as you want—” “Well, do not blame me for your inadequacy. Here, hold my hand.” Briane reached out to her, but she merely slapped his hands off. Fumbling on her feet, biting, her lips, Sloane took a deep breath. “I don’t need your help, and for the last time, boy! Stop calling me names! I am Sloane, and I
Shadows of the Lost The Soul that Dwells Within
Sloane had no tolerance whatsoever to wielders claiming they fell in love the first time they set their eyes to someone; though now that she’s staring at Kleint, she couldn’t help but swallow her own words. She had even shunned the thought of him being a cruel murderer at the back of her mind. All she ever wanted at the moment was to cup his pale cheeks, to feel the almost flawless skin of his square-shaped face—excluding, of course, the short hair on his chin—and to lick the Adam’s apple on his sexy-looking neck. She didn’t even bother to look away even after Berry stared at her with furrowed brows. There’s not a man he revered in this entire universe, at least she’s sure of that before. Even Jake who courted here didn’t come close to the perfection of this man before her. He was the replica of the man of her dreams, the man who hunted her wet night, and the man whom she had long waited for eternity. There’s no way the naughty mess of the purple strand of his hair and the w
Shadows of the Lost Bad Decisions
“You said the child was chained in her psyche plane, right?” said Luis, sitting rigidly at the bunk of stone, lost in the spiral of his thoughts. Kleint nodded as he stared at Z. He was still slumped on the ground, trying to steady his breathing. He must be rusty, to have drained himself with just one technique. Well, he had already amassed massive energy to buy Z and her comrades some time to run away; even so, he needed a new set of training to make up with the years he was unconscious. “What’s with a child being chained inside Z?” Granny walked toward them, her brows furrowed. “I never heard of such a phenomenon, though it might be a different case if it’s her soul. That still doesn’t explain why it’s encaged, but it’s more likely to be the case.” Sighing, Luis closed his eyes. “Whatever the case, we should prioritize the Gorche attached to her—” “We cannot do that.” Kleint shook his head, clenching his fist. “Gourche is a limiter placed upon
Shadows of the Lost Warning
In every passing hour, Z’s thoughts played around her fate and the destiny of the people whose trust she owed. She wanted to never disappoint them, to be the wielder they wished her to be. What could she do, though? Everything she knew, everything she planned out was sabotaged now and then, and she could only think that the universe didn’t approve of it… or maybe it was her existence; either way, she’s starting to lose sight of what her goals truly were. “You know that’s not true,” said Kleint, sitting on her bed, caressing her cheeks. It’s been two days. The headmaster decided to erect another tent where Granny could take care of Z as they experimented on her. Their short-term aim was to open up an entry-point from the dimension covering her entire body, but it’s easier said than done. Every time Kleint tried to influence the dimension, both of them would start to weaken, their energy amassing between them and disappeared with a rather small explosion that Kle
