ELEAND cursed hard when he leaned on a rock near the river. He crawled and struggled until he finally reached this spot.

He repeated the spell he did for Unaeth, but it was ineffective, maybe because he was too weak. Alva warned him about this drawback of healing. He could not wield it if heavily injured and with his mana nearly drained.

Eleand calmed himself. If he panicked, he wouldn’t be thinking straight. He had to stay focused. He attempted to call his friends, but no one came. Maybe they were all busy. There had to be other ways to survive.

After learning the basics of Erdeterra, he was pretty confident in his magic skills, especially that he somehow mastered the fire and wind magic. But how come that he was still weak? He only encountered one enemy, yet he was about to meet his demise.

He shook his head and gritted his teeth. The blood continued to spill from his deep wound. If he couldn’t act fast, he would

    AFTER a few days, Eleand was finally back in Mirasaen when Alva gave her blessings that he was free to go. He couldn’t believe that he was in the Golden Palace after over three months. “Good to see you here,” Zanti said. While Zanti tapped his shoulder as he greeted him. He didn’t hesitate to lightly hug Nahil because it had been a long time since he had seen her. And he just nodded to Ahldrin because he was still looking unfriendly. “It’s nice to see you again,” Nahil said. “Welcome back, Eleand.” Aserah greeted him. She was about to leave to go to Argia when he arrived. According to her High Corps, the Lady of Noyuh spent most of her time in the Capital City. He arched his head to pay his respect, and he removed the amulet from his neck and gave it back to the Lady. “Thanks to this amulet, but I don’t need that this time. I can conceal my scent and use the illusion magic.” Aserah held the necklac

  • The Hidden Realm   Chapter 40 – GWIAZDAN PRINCE

    WHEN Eleand opened his eyes, he realized that his hands and foot were tied. It was a heavy iron chain with runes glimmering in the dark.After a while, the room lighted up. He was shirtless, and his vision caught four guards and one male faerie in a high black coat and red cloak.“Who are you? How dare you trespass in Gwiazda!” the faerie in black said dangerously.He remained quiet, silently studying the one who talked, probably a faerie royalty. He couldn’t miss his resemblance to Ahldrin.Eleand tried to free himself from the binding, still not showing nervousness and thinking about the possibility of escape. Transportation magic would not work since he was tied to an iron. Worse, runes powered it up. In his months of studying magic, the only weakness of a faerie was iron with anti-magic runes. But he wasn’t a faerie, so he might find another way.“Where is Elida?” He tilted his hea

    THE room was full of people when Eleand opened his eyes. Surely, he was not in Noyuh. The paint and tapestries were mediocre, white and green. He noticed some hospital equipment beside him connected to his body.Wait, a hospital? Maybe, he was in Argia. But who would bring him to a hospital if healing magic was more effective?Weird, he exhaled sharply. Another two persons went inside his room, and both wore a laboratory gown.Persons? They were humans! Maybe his imagination tricked him, doctors in Erganiv?“This is a miracle!” The guy doctor was teary-eyed when he checked his vital signs.What the hell is going on?“You came back!” Another female doctor exclaimed.Eleand blinked several times before he realized the place he was in. He was indeed in the hospital. How did this happen?“H-How long I’ve been asleep?” he asked. He couldn’t

    EZEKIEL arrived the next day. Eleand’s youngest brother was doing well. They talked nonstop when he reached home. Ezekiel couldn’t believe he survived the accident, plus the fact that he was comatose for two years.“I should come with you back in California,” he informed his younger brother. They were currently eating dinner with other family members.“Are you sure? I’ll just stay here for a week. I’ll be back after three months for my art exhibit in Manila.” Ezekiel paused to chew his food and added, “And to attend Erone’s wedding.”“Just a week, I see. Why don’t you extend it?” he suggested.“Believe me. I want to. But you know the aircraft crashed recently in Florida, we’ll cover the insurance of the victims.” Ezekiel sounded problematic.“Sorry to hear that, but I want to ask a favor from you.&

    AFTER a few days, Eleand was extremely bored than normal. Staying at home made him feel worthless. Ezekiel went back to California, and Erone was busy at work. And also, his father would visit their farm most of the time.Only playing archery would suit his pastime. Sometimes he would read books in the library. For the last two weeks, this had been his routine, hoping to forget everything. But he couldn’t make it, that Erganiv shit still torturing his mind.Then he suddenly decided to indulge himself in his imaginations. Perhaps, he should stop controlling it. What if he gave way? He would try the magic spells that kept on haunting him. He knew he could manipulate the fire. There was no harm in trying after all.Let’s begin.Eleand immediately got three medium-sized candles and put them on top of the glass table in the library. For a long moment, he stared at the candles while chanting the simplest spell to

  • The Hidden Realm   Chapter 44 – LINEAGE

    ELEAND scanned the documents in the cabinet one by one. It contained several scrolls and old books. When he checked one of those books, there were hand-drawn portraits of his ancestors.He carefully studied everything. Some dated a hundred years, way back to the Spanish Era. But the only familiar face for him was his grandparents.The Altierras originally came from Spain, he learned. From the time when they colonized the Philippines, his great ancestors migrated because of business until they bred with the locals and other foreigners.It was late in the afternoon when Eleand finished his readings. He took notes for every possibility of his faerie origin. Who could it be? All of them perfectly looked human—normal ears and features. The eye colors vary depending on their foreign DNA. Perhaps, he had to look for other data inside the master’s bedroom.Eleand sought at one cabinet where books were stacked, and a family

    THE old man continued to tell the story, everything he had to know. And his father repeatedly apologized. “Dad, do not feel guilty about this matter. There are things I need to settle that’s why I’m asking about my birth parents. You’re forgiven. I care about our family a lot. That is why I’m doing this.” His father remained quiet as if he was controlling his emotions. Eleand reached out for him and held his shoulder. “Don’t overthink. It’s not good for your health.” “I knew we raised an understanding and lovable son.” Eleand smiled. In the next few days, Eleand spent most of his time researching his origin. Although he was certain about his humanity, however, a part of him might be a faerie with regards to his strong magic attribute. Probably a half-breed, a Demifae—half-human and half-faerie. Eleand also thought of the possibility that he might be from Erganiv by the time his human paren

    ELEAND hurriedly cast his transportation magic. The Vanire was quick when Eleand made it along with Ezekiel, who appeared startled by what was going on. They hurriedly went to Erone and their father. But one Shadow emerged from behind.He hastened his move to make his family safe outside the building. However, it didn’t go according to Eleand’s plan. He was a few seconds late because the Shadow was quick to grab the old man and teleported with his family. Thankfully, Eleand managed to touch his father’s legs, and he disappeared along with them.Ekeziel couldn’t talk when they materialized at a place full of trees. He knelt and vomited.Eleand wanted to comfort him, but the Shadow doubled itself, and it made Erone and the old man hostage.Eleand noticed that the forest around looked familiar. For a moment, he thought they might be in Erganiv, but the treehouse near them made him rea

    AIROH deeply inhaled while staring behind Winzi. She was sobbing, and he let her mourn. They were the special room he prepared for Wallace inside the palace. Winzi stared at her brother lying inside the ice coffin. It took her some time to finally accept that Wallace was indeed sealed into that ice coffin. The king was not expecting that Harewyn would come back with Winzi a few days ago. The princess knew the bad news. She didn’t hesitate to go with Harewyn, even if it would be an act of treason against the Golden Palace. “Brother…” Her hands trembled while touching the thick ice covering her brother. Airoh pitied the Princess of Alsache. But she had to understand that her brother’s life wouldn’t be the only collateral once Esdras retaliated in full force. All of them lost a loved one, and he understood her misery. He raised his hand and gently tapped her shoulder. “I’m sorry for your loss….”

    AIROH gasped for air. After he filled his lungs with oxygen, he shuddered because of pulsating sensation of power moving inside his body. He was submerged in a blinding light, and the force inside him was waiting to be unleashed.He screamed when his body trembled again. He levitated on the air, and the blinding light surrounding his body thickened in a circular motion. His body continued to quiver, and he knew his body underwent changes that he didn’t think he was capable of. He was shifting into his higher form!Airoh was never aware that he possessed this kind of ability. His raven black hair slowly turned platinum white, and it grew longer to his waist.He held his temple because he felt the pressure was too painful to bear. He was startled when he felt something in his head, a crown! A royal headband, a gold diadem with a sun emblem.His golden eyes were more vibrant than before, and he couldn’t fathom his raw

    THE KING’S vision went blurry while trying to catch his breath. He witnessed his companions fall one by one. The chaos went still. Even the blazing giant targeted Zuaine’s winged warriors.Four among the eight High Sentinels were defeated. Their bloody bodies fell to the ground as well, regressing.Yerie… please let my companions live…and my queen… His eyes were dark with desolation as he tightly embraced Rieska. They were both lying on the surface. The Ebryaeans warriors surrounded them, fighting the enemies and holding the line.Sorath…give me enough power to fight. Airoh called for his deity again. He trusted his great ancestor that he wouldn’t let him down.But Sorath failed to help him this time. He didn’t feel his presence despite calling him many times. His heart was beating low. Then slower until his body felt numb.

    “YOU’RE a fool, Airoh. Even if you find a way to snatch away your queen, she will not wake up unless she is freed under my power. You know my gift. I’m the only one who can wield the magic of unhealing.” Esdras proudly said. “Bring her back to me!” the king’s voice echoed. But it was toned down by the clashing weapons and magic around. Esdras laughed hysterically. He widely spread his arms, and suddenly they were all surrounded by the red smoke. “I’m tired of playing around. Any last words from you?” Esdras looked at each face of the king’s companions. Esdras was surprised when a blue and yellow light appeared coming from the sky. Zuaine just transformed into her other form. Her wings were like the Phoenix—blue, orange, and yellow. She let out a loud whistle in the air. Then a group of winged faeries suddenly came. Esdras shook his head. But he couldn’t hide his surprise when the stars in the sky moved. Ev

    THERE was a complete disorder when Airoh released his black fire. Even Zenus did not hesitate to unleash his hellfire coming from his twin swords. Both of them were on Rieska’s side to get her and attempted to run, but they couldn’t make her move even an inch. The magic inside Rieska’s body was stronger than they expected.Furcas attacked them. He released his dark wind magic, which they quickly blocked. Airoh was not new to his sorcery. Any living being in contact with his dark air would suffer extreme torture from the mind.Shax and Lahash helped Furcas to attack them. But Airoh and Zenus dodged their magic aggression.On the other side, Esdras just stood like a spectator. He looked unbothered by what was happening.Everyone on Airoh’s team finally appeared from their hiding place. Some fought on the ground, and others, above, a few gathered around the queen.Although they were severely ou

    EVERYONE strolled up at their fastest pace carefully. The higher the elevation, the way went harder, especially the temperature became hotter, and they could only use minimal magic to protect themselves without activating the runes. They couldn’t count the numbers of Shadows killed going up.When they reached the last part of the labyrinth a few kilometers away from the fortress, they had encountered stronger Shadows.The fight was risky. Two of the enemies almost escaped calling for reinforcements. But Zenus acted fast. His two swords had hit the necks of the Shadows then Airoh quickly burned their dead bodies to ash.They swiftly strolled up until they arrived at the foot of the two colossal watchtowers. The place was full of debris, large rocks, and other materials. Rieska had done these terrible damages. Airoh found himself smiling lightly. He knew his queen would never give up without a fight.In the

    ALONG with Branigan and Enkille, the king went to Penrith—the town near the border of Cerrathien and Eriraseth. Two days of searching were done, and they couldn’t find a single trace where the queen was taken. There were no clues left in Cerrathien, the Capital City of Muhler seemed deserted.Airoh asked a handful of peasants during his search. They were in hiding, and their body trembled to see him, thinking he was an enemy. But found a ray of hope the moment he introduced himself. However, they didn’t know the whereabouts of the new Emperor. One thing was sure; the war had begun in Muhler when Esdras forcibly took the throne.Harewyn greeted them when they reached an abandoned building. “Thanks to Yerie, we are all safe!”Everyone around acknowledged the king. He checked his subordinates one by one. Thankfully, they all looked good. On the right side, Blythe’s team stood, still had snow traces on

  • The Hidden Realm   Chapter 70 – THE EMPIRE

    MUHLER lived in tranquility in the past. The night here was spectacular, full of life. There were never-ending festivals in every corner in honor of their different deities. Faeries danced and laughed under the music. But now, the place seemed to weep. Esdras turned this part of the Empire into hell. Almost every corner blazed a fire, and the ashes scattered in the air.He remembered there was a thick forest nearby but gone now. All that was left were the barren land where trees and plants were dried. The small community near the Southern Gate looked like a ghost town. The residential dwellings were all abandoned and destroyed.They had seen other groups of warriors under the possession of the Kaluwahs. They were not considered faeries now, but demons. The price must be really high when Esdras sold himself to Luxus because the demon lord could only take over into the body and mind of a faerie if one bore extreme hatred. The reason why Luxus

    THE KING gathered everyone in the war room, the special command center inside the palace. The various maps of Alegerio, Erganiv, and Muhler were set up, and the miniatures of warriors neatly placed on the map rested on the huge rectangular table. Each group of replicas represented their flag color. Even the aerial armies were visible on the map, floating few centimeters above. They looked real, holding their weapons, but only on a small scale.Everybody was seated beside the table, aside from Elida, which the king ordered to rest in her room. He knew she had a lot of questions in mind, but he couldn’t waste more time. The clock was ticking, and the more he slacked off, the queen’s life would be threatened in the hands of Esdras.Airoh calmed himself when his heart beat faster than usual. He couldn’t be impatient; one wrong move would lead everyone to a trap.The strategies were carefully formed. Zenus helped him expl
