2020-12-05 17:32:55THE ride of the trip back to the Krystalline Academy was quiet. Chloe was looking out of the window with her cheek leaning against the heel of her palm while Jucel and Kieran dozed off in front of her. It was dusk when they reached the Galenus City. The sky was the combination of orange, yellow and red as the sun comes down in the horizon. Clouds covered the blue-turning-twilight canvas above them. People, adult and children alike, were still roaming around the streets of the Galenus City. The market was buzzing and alive.
“Hey, Dana,” Chloe finally called out inwardly.
Inside her inner core, the part where her power was cultivated, Dana raised her head and opened her eyes to look at the hovering Chloe Rein. “What do you want now?”
Chloe squatted in front of Dana and wrapped her arms around her knees. “You knew Hwa Elisa as much as you know Neptos Rein, right?”
Dana raised an eyebrow. “Neptos Rein had been my companion ever since I was born. That comparison a

WHILE Chloe enjoyed the silent leisure of eating with her brother Lucian and their friends, she was not entirely hidden from the attention of the awed Krystalline students. They were shamelessly staring at her once in a while, most of them trying to catch a glimpse of the infamous young 27th Blood Star that invaded the Galenus Arena under the hideous name Bella the Werewolf. While many were awestruck by that, some didn't particularly like on how she gained her fame.At the end of the second table, just across the table where Chloe and her friends were sitting, sat a group of young men and women. The girls were outrightly glaring at Chloe Rein who laughed at something that Zabdiel and Barbie Lewelyn joked about.One of them cluck her tongue. "It can't be helped. Chloe Rein is a Blood Star and thus, she can fo whatever she wants," she whispered, bitterness obvious in her tone."That's not a reason to flaunt her power and strength and kill in that arena. She's just an

"WAS there anything that could help us determine the Great Witch's vessel?" Chloe asked Jucel."Vessel?" Clive butted in. They all had a confused look in their faces that Chloe forgot they were in the present times wherein both Blood Star and Great Witch were almost legends itself.Chloe inhaled the cold air and then she exhaled through her slightly opened mouth. The fog coming from her breath was thicker than the other nights. "I'm having dreams about the war that occured more than fifty years ago.""Is that something beneficial with a Blood Star Shaula as your 'mentor'?" Blaise asked with a playful grin. He was back to earth.Thankfully, Chloe sighed inwardly. She ignored his remarks all at once. "These dreams were about the time when General Dana still had to conquer the lands of Eriya and Karhan. It is now called Deirdre and Markus, respectively.""Wow..." Zabdiel mused. "That's a story I often hear from my mothers and clan elders. But it must be ni

LUCIAN sat under the tree, leaning against its trunk. Chloe was at the distance, just a few feet away from the target board. A thwack of a bowstring being released and thuds could be heard in a two-minute interval as she continued to practice archery. Sweat could be seen on her forehead down to her neck and she was huffing in slight exhaustion."You need to practice using your eyesight," Neptos told her, his voice was rough and clear. "You're slacking."Chloe glared at Neptos through the side. "You're the one who's slacking at teaching me, old man," she rasped.Neptos had been away ever since Jucel and Chloe went after the Black Shaol together with the Five Leaf Clover. No one knew where he went. The Krystalline Academy released the students. However, those students staying in dorms and had no family or house to live were forced not to get out of the academy premises. They would take their missions directly from the masters.Right after the Seven Geniuses wer

DARKNESS.The kind of darkness that gives her the chills and jittery ever since she was a child. The kind of darkness she ran away from several years ago.There were a few torches serving as light throughout the place but it was not enough to enlighten the whole room she was in. Darkness filled everything, from the hallways to every corner. Darkness filled the soul of those living there.The feeling of emptiness. The pain. The anger.Howls of sexual laughter, pain, pleasure, and all kinds of disgusting noises echoed through the dark hallways and reached her ears.She sighed and turned her back to the door. The chains that held her down by the wrists and ankles clang as she lay on the soft mattress. She felt a warm liquid on the corner of her eyes, running down her temple and then on the surface of her pillow. She closed her eyes.She wanted to get out of this wretched place way too badly. But she's scared. Not for herself but for the people that s

DRAKE, TARA, AND THEO arrived at the odd-looking cave. Its mouth stood only seven to eight feet tall and seven feet wide. It was just enough for someone's body. The edges were also jagged and it seems like someone was chipping the stones on the edge to make it wider enough. They stared up at the symbols etched at the entrance of a cave.Tara ran her fingers on the symbols within her reach."It is just like what the messenger told me. The symbol of Illinor embedded at the center with a dozen words of a language that we were not born to use," she recalled.Theo looked around and then stiffened. He turned to the right where a familiar road lies ahead. "This is the end of the third branch from the center, Drake," he said in a low voice.Drake nodded. "I noticed that, too.""Come on, we need to finish our mission here and get back to find Drêy, Maji and Vivien," Tara urged them and walked inside ahead. The two men followed her, their hands gripping the handl

HE hated darkness.Darkness was the only place he’ll charge into, if he has a choice. The room that Sean Olaire put them into was dark and smelled like blood and rotten flesh that it made him sick. He had to keep himself from inhaling too much air or else he had to vomit again because of the foul smell. His eyes tried to roam around, looking for something that might catch his sight. Probably a sliver of light? But to no avail.His whole body seared in pain. He had a set of broken ribs, arms sore and aching from the chains that awkwardly binding him to a wall. His left eye seemed to be bleeding, considering that he felt like a sharp pain from the side of it. Drake Lornn knew he looked worse for wear.He began to feel around him. Wherever he touched, the floor was rough and seemed wet and sticky. He feared that what he was touching was a pool of blood. Just how many people were tortured or killed in here? Based on the awful smell, he knew that there were dead bodies

THE news about the missing Princess Zillah, Vivien Li and Marjien Zūng was suppressed from spreading across Vestia and the neighboring lands. Queen Elisa prohibited anyone from the Krystalline Palace and even those in the Tribes. Those who will spread the information about the incident will immediately be put to death.Sean Olaire grimaced before he winced and held his hand to cover his bandaged wound on his side. Marjien Zūng was successful in letting Princess Zillah escape. When Marjien reached the dungeons, he was forced to fight her. Her goal was clear. She was going to save those two royalties.It's just a shame that her Gem Beast had limited time. She collapsed right after she used all those times. But that doesn't mean he is off the hook. Collapsing Marjien Zūng means Angry Kirsten Zūng. And it is an equal to a Dead Sean Olaire.It would just be a matter of time before Kirsten will call him.Sean as he tipped the glass on his lips and gulped down his w

CHLOE had been playing word games with the three brothers of the Olaire Tribe right from the start."You were a trio of cunning weapons," she said. She was looking at the weapons they were holding in purpose, making sure that they get into her trap. On the other hand, she was genuinely amazed by these weapons.One had a leather whip with thorns that could rip a flesh apart. The other had a bone-like sword which Chloe didn't need an anatomy lesson to know that it was a sharpened femur of a person (an unfortunate realization of hers). The last Lou wielded a weird black flute... and he was the most readable among the three. Her eyes trailed to Pensin Lou as her smile widened in a kind that makes them feel a shiver down their spine. Something that if Lucian would be here, he will immediately recognize it as one of her 'you're not making it alive this time'."Not even the strong and valiant Five Leaf Clovers can beat you," she finished.As expected, Pensin Lou ans

The ceremony was short and rushed as everyone were exhausted and distraught. They paid tribute to every single fallen Kryst and then buried the Knights of Shaula in their own monuments. Neptos was buried in the cemetery for the Rein Tribe while Vivien Li in her own tribe. Kieran Lornn was brought to the Lornn Tribe in a closed casket, never to be opened.Those who led in the war were given rewards. Barbie Lewelyn, Lucian Liu, Zabdiel Lewelyn, Clive Travis, and Jared Dale were hailed as the new Knights of Bellatrix."I know it's late. But this is how I wanted to honor her," Queen Elisa told them in a hushed voice.Barbie regained her strength two months after and it was enough for Zephrain to make some sentiments with the Krystalline Palace.Zephrain was standing right in the middle of the vast graveyard, the horizon looming ahead and the Mountain Ranges surrounded him, as if looking over on what he had been gazing at for many times in a day... everyday.He heard a rus

When the Knights positioned outside the barrier, Chloe removed her armor from her body. She wore a plain red shirt with gray pants. The young Blood Star sat on the ground, her legs crossed under her.Lucian positioned behind her, standing with his right palm pressed behind her head. "Are you sure about this, Chlo'?" he asked."I must be asking you that, Lulu-chi." Chloe smiled. "I never had the chance to thank Demetrius for this."Lucian gritted his teeth to control his tears. He didn't say anything at all, afraid that his voice might give away his sorrow.Jucel brought the Bellatrix sword to Chloe. The latter shook her head. "You must do it."The freckled woman let out a deep breath. "You're cruel."Chloe just smiled. She stared at the back of a familiar duo. "Mē, Zē." She swallowed. "Thank you."Outside the barrier, Faline Liu and Iwaoka were trying their best not to cry. They neither answered her nor looked back. The three inside wouldn't hear them, anyway.

Meanwhile, Barbie ducked under Kirsten's staff and swiped her leg under the latter. Kirsten lost her balance but regained herself, and flipped away before she could reach the hard ground.Barbie stood and twirled her sword while her dagger was positioned in front of her. The electricity from her body was back, recharging her energy through the wrath that she felt.Kirsten charged again and swung her sword before giving Barbie a side kick. The latter crossed her wrists to block another kick but grunted when Kirsten's high heel dug on her flesh. She gripped Kirsten's ankle, electricity ran through the Great Witch who screamed. Barbie hurled her away, the heel ripping her skin in the process.Blood oozed from Barbie's wrists and ran down her fingers then dripped to the ground. She could feel her nerves shaking on her right wrist where a hole from Kirsten's heel dug into. An open wound near her large vein."Tch," Barbie said as she wrapped her left hand around her righ

Snow endlessly falls down from the cloud-covered sky. But despite that, the whole land of Markus was not freezing in cold. The Fire Land was warmer below at the same time colder in the surface. Although the surroundings were frozen in ice crystals and covered with snow, it was not enough to freeze a Demetri.Chloe Liu walked for a few meters to the center and stopped under the tree. Her golden eyes roam around and saw that she was surrounded by Black Shaols.The young Blood Star smirked. "You really brought them out for your gain, Liege."A large man with a black armor emerged from the crowd of enemies, a triumphant smirk etched on his face. He had a golden crown with the symbol of Illinor at the center. He's holding a large sword with broad blade. Chloe thinks he could cut a large tree with it.But, not her.She figured out that the Southern Region has a tunnel underneath it, used by the same enemy fifty years ago to infiltrate the land of Markus. It doesn't fa

The time had been ticking that moment. It runs around the clock day and night. Not even the prince I served, Særi ust Trūx Ciaran, can stop the time all at once. There will be choices to make. There will be memories of pain.The Great Witch, with Kirsten Zūng as its vessel, has ordered a massive hunt for our deaths. The Kingdom of Demetrius, my home, experienced its biggest war in history.Once again, many shall lose their lives for the peace we so wanted. Witches from Illinor began to make their way to the Eastern Region where they will be able to invade the city of Markus.The whole population of the bloodlust witches and traitors of Demetrius bounded off around the Ahn Mountain Pass and made their way to the city of Markus, the city which the great General Dana Rein conquered. The Land rich of Fire Element. There's no mercy, no holding back.I haven't been into this kind of war. None of us have. Bellatrix of Orion, will you save us from sure death?Only I, a Mnemos

Jared landed on the ground face-first. He pushed himself up and sighed softly as he opened his now blazing dark green eyes. He pushed out of the way in time to avoid the axe of the enemy. Jared picked up the fallen soldier's sword and swung it blindly in front of him, cutting deeply on the skull of the enemy.He grimaced as he stood limply, his injury now bothering him than before."Red!" Clive's voice rang through the noise of the battle. He turned and raised his hand to catch his sword. Jared didn't waste time swinging his blade across the approaching enemy's chest.~O~O~O~"Damn it! Where the hell was Kirsten?" Tara asked as she kicked away an opponent and swung her spear to another Illinora.Vivien swung her two white silver swords across the Illinora's face and whirled around the enemy's side before bringing her blade down their injured necks. She put her blades together and ran the blades across each other. The blood was quickly wiped off the blades, clean

Clive and Celine stepped back as another explosion occured at the boundary.Huge dark brown ugly-looking beasts were roaming around; snarling and shaking their heads furiously as blood were oozing from their faces and body.Clive whirled at Celine who was standing calmly beside him. Celine began to bark orders in a calm voice. Fire began to float all around them, courtesy of the Fire Element Krysts."Archers!!" Celine shouted. Clive raised his hands and the fire enveloped him. It made him smile with joy. Being enveloped in fire made him think about the time he discovered his power as a boy.The archers notched their arrows and aimed at the borders. Clive brought his hands towards the arrows, the fire began to lick the tip of the arrow notched.Celine smirked at him and nodded. She looked at those beasts that managed to enter the borders. "Hold!!"Silence enveloped the whole area. Five kilomenters. Four. Three. The archers didn't move an inch.Celine pulled an ar

The Krysts began to follow Ciaran and Zephrain's instructions. The Travis Tribe and the other tribes from the Markus City vowed to help in the war against the Great Witch. They prepared traps everywhere. It took them a whole day to prepare.Lucian and his friends decided to get over the grief they had over Kieran. With Jucel and Celine's efforts, Zabdiel's consciousness came back.Upon hearing about Kieran's death, Zabdiel didn't know what to say. He started to blame himself, but there's no denying that no one wanted to lose Kieran Lornn."Where's his body?""Chloe said he's at the palace back in Vestia," Lucian murmured.Zabdiel could only nod his head and then he went back to his trance, mourning for his older friend. He clenched his jaws and his fists. Zabdiel vowed that he will seek revenge on Kieran's death.Three days came and no Kirsten Zūng appeared. Celine brought Lucian, Barbie, Zabdiel, and Clive to a storage room."What are we doing here?" Clive aske

Queen Elisa stood at the first steps outside the palace. She was covered with wool coat to prevent the freezing cold from seeping through her body. Her white hair cascaded on her shoulder and her crown sat atop her head.The soldiers are already positioned, all of them sitting on the Pegasi - another type of horses used for battle. These horses have the wings of eagles they can fly the soldiers towards Markus and pass the Dark Forest. Because of the vulnerability of the Pegasi under the sun, they had to wait under the weather was colder so they can use them for transportation.Chloe was sitting on her own Pegasi, a jet black horse with stronger, wider wings than the others. Her golden eyes looked up at the Queen and found her staring. Chloe just nodded at her which she answered a small smile and a nod. The Blood Star then took hold of the reins and bounded to the front lines.Jucel and Jared went out of the palace. Jared still looked emotionless as before. Ever since Jucel'
