2021-09-16 23:39:43Once outside the church, Roxy and Skin hurried down the road. They were headed to the woods. Roxy was trying to follow the scent as she could not see or hear the werepanther. Moments later, Skin saw her run off towards a thicket of trees. He shot after her but by the time he reached the thicket, he had already lost her. He sighed thinking about the newbie’s obsession with going solo on the mission.
He decided to go deeper into the woods to look for her. She was an amateur and although she was over confident, he knew he it was his responsibility to watch her back. Few more steps and he noticed her clothes lying close by. He turned to look in all directions and finally spotted a pair of bright eyes shining through the leaves of the trees. Upon concentration, he was able to make out a silhouette of a large Panther among the thick foliage.
“Seriously Rox? You could have at least…” he began but was cut off in the middle as a masked figure attacked him out of nowhere and k

" He got away,” Adrian leaned forward and told Olivia.“He means we sacred him off,” Rick corrected.Olivia turned around to look at both of them.“Details later, but rest assured he wasn’t here for the chalice. He was after Rick and for now everything is fine,” Adrian said.At L.I.F.E, the detectives were trying to do everything in their power to find a lead on the abductions and to find the missing links to undo the spell on the chalice. Olivia had already informed them that all abductions were related to the chalice so saving the lives of the already abducted folklores was their first priority.Hansel had also been assigned a team. His main team members were Sam and Scott, while Meredith was going to aid them wherever required.

“The guy, now wearing the serviceman’s uniform, was in the hall earlier. He was wearing a grey suit and he didn’t look suspicious at all,” Kai whispered.“Oh Please! Give me a break. You really thought they would show up in the church, looking like villains and raise suspicion,” Rick shook her head in disappointment.“Shhh…” Adrian signalled.The man in the black suit had left as quickly as he had appeared while the other guy had already entered the church. Now they could hear faint voices from inside of the church. All of them ran inside. They noticed a few chairs sprawled in the middle of the courtyard and at the far end. There was a brawl that had everyone’s attention, including the security. It was a group of young men picking up a fight for no apparent reason.Someone smashed a glass window nearby and nobody noticed. Realising that the fight was planned to take attention away from the main

“What are you doing? You are not supposed to touch the chalice or take it,” the guy saidKai backed off quickly, hands in air.“He has been recruited and he has no idea what he is talking about,” Olivia said. “It is not going to happen the easy way. We are running out of time. I am going to have to do a spell.”“You have heard me, the chalice is important and I have to take care of it,” he asserted once more as he saw Olivia come forward.He moved towards her with cold eyes and as soon as he attacked, she went ahead and smacked him down with one blow. Kai quickly tried to do a freeze spell.“Leave him here. Let’s move quickly, the security will be soon here checking upon the chalice,” Olivia said.As Kai lifted the red cloth they were shocked to see that the glass cabinet was empty. They heard footsteps approaching. Olivia quickly summoned a portal. She swept all the mess they

Disguised as ordinary nomads, they peacefully lived among humans and their beautiful features often drew attention from the ordinary folks. Although they were capable of hindering their tasks, they never played pranks on them for the leader did not approve of that.They moved from place to place upon being suspected by human communities when the naïve ones of the elves left the humans bewildered with the display of their magical powers. They always remained cautious as they feared they would face executions at the hand of witch-hunters. At that time, many clans of elves were hunted down to extinction as humans believed the elves to be mischievous beings that caused illnesses, plagues, and draughts. Most people thought that the elves were capricious beings so they could make them sick with elf-shots. There were also stories about elves causing humans to fall in a trance for a life time, transporting them to the Elf-World, where time passed much quicker as compared to the

However, for Thomas, all of this didn’t matter at all. What really mattered to him was the handsome money he was being paid for the petty chores he did around the farm house. All he was expected to do was look after the premises and keep the confidentiality. Two days ago, he was informed that they would come in today and will be gone within the next two days, so he could take a leave. He was glad that he would be having some time off. By the time he returned, the owner and his guests would have left, leaving behind no trace save for a handsome tip and a thank you note by Mr Nico – his employer. What else could he possibly ask for?He got into his old Nissan and turned to drive away. He was only around five yards out when he saw something strange move within the thickets of the trees. He thought that he saw a black panther but he just shed the thought away. Probably a calf from one of the ranches or a foal, there were a lot of free roaming horses up on the hills an

After several years when he had almost forgotten the key, a group of infamous goons approached the old man.“Any idea about this, old man?” one of them asked, showing him a piece of paper.One look at the hand drawn sketch and the old man understood that the key was worth more than he could ever imagine.“I had something similar years ago but I’m not sure if I have sold it or if it’s still lying around,” he replied.“Well you better look for it now,” the other one demanded in a threatening voice.At the same moment, an old woman walked into the store and the goons walked away. But the old man already knew that the key was important. As soon as the woman left, he hid the key and proceeded to make a few calls.Several days later the old man was murdered.

In the meantime, Kai had managed to trap the vampire within a fire circle to keep him from fleeing. Olivia ran towards the vampire and struck him with bolds of heat one after the other. At the same time Adrian appeared with a piece a branch from a nearby tree and drove it through the vampire’s heart. He melted into a mass of blood and lava.“We have to leave,” Adrian said urgently. “The lightning bolts may create curiosity and the last thing we want is to blow our cover.”After the meeting at the farm house, Ditto teleported himself to Chicago. He knew that agents of L.I.F.E were working there and that was another reason he needed to keep an eye on the events in Chicago. Today he had found a major lead which was going to be a great contribution towards the secret research he had started while he was still working with L.I.F.E.He had been looking for the rightful owner of the chalice and today he had found him.According to a

“Olivia,” an unknown voice called out, shaking her out of her thoughts.Half-heartedly she opened her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction of the voice. She had been sitting there silently for the past twenty minutes or so. Her eyes were puffy and her head felt heavy. Lately, despite all her efforts she had not been able to get good sleep and the restlessness was taking its toll. The guy had walked closer. She was right, the face and the voice were both unfamiliar. She looked at him with lack of interest.Perhaps a new trainee, she thought. He was young, around the same age as her. He was wearing a navy suit, white shirt and a blue tie. His short, dark hair was combed back. His curious blue eyes peered from behind his eyeglasses.“Detective Hansel,” he offered his hand.Olivia was taken by surprise. Judging by his looks, she had not expected him to be a full detective. Perhaps he looks younger than his age, she thought

Olivia, Sam and Scott left Captain Moss’ office.“As if the damage already done by The Blessing was not enough,” Sam murmured.“The briefing is scheduled to take place during the second half of the day. I would like to get a bite before that,” Scot said, ignoring Sam’s whining.Olivia broke off from the group.“Aren’t you joining us?” Scott asked.“I’m good. I’m not eternally hungry like you,” she replied, taking a turn towards left.She headed to an iron bench in the garden. She would rather spend the afternoon alone than hanging out with her colleagues. Her mind could use a little peace. The last few weeks had provided her with life changing experiences. She had been disowned by her family, yet again. And to make the matters worse she had lost faith in friendship after what Jill, who was actually Tabitha, had done to her.She closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the bench. She wanted to resurrect Jill and give her another chance at life. Moss had disapproved of that, knowi

As soon as Hansel left, Captain Moss flipped open one of the files on his desk. He began looking at the two recent cases of abduction. He carefully read each and every detail about the history of the forelocks that had been abducted.The motive was unclear but he suspected that the abduction might have to do something with Harold Hurst – The Warlock Alpha. He made a mental note to talk to Maxine about this. Perhaps she would be able to give some insight into this. He marvelled if the hooded figure was Harold Hurst himself. Although his mind dismissed the idea the very next second, thinking that this might be a possibility, he decided to work on the abductions first.The news of the third abduction came in when he was busy reading the files. Meredith walked into her office with the message.“Paulo, the Music Demon has been abducted from the arena,” she told him. “The staff in the arena got in touch a minute ago.”“Do we have the full details,” he asked.“As much as I could gather.

He had no answer. Her memory had been erased. She had no recollection of her previous life. Although this made the life of those dealing with her at the Agency easier, it raised red flags. There was someone out there who knew about her powers.The fact that the girl thought of the runes as her toys was overwhelming. They couldn’t take them away from her by force, not at least until an ongoing investigation about her bloodline was concluded. Perhaps the child’s soul was bound to the runes. They had to make sure the girl won’t be harmed if she gave the runes away. For now, it was enough to warn her but the problem was she had to be calmed down. Her anger provoked her powers and that could be lethal since the girl hardly understood anything at this age.The witch doctor decided to put her under a spell. It was a hard decision to make but the child had a tendency to summon fires and floods as soon as she was offended.Today, when Samantha was brought into Dr Aegle’s office, she had asked

An hour later, Olivia walked into Moss’ office. She could see that the atmosphere was really tense. Apart from Hansel there were three other agents in presence. Olivia immediately recognized the two agents sitting opposite to Moss. One of them was agent Kai sparrow, a 16-year-old Native American warlock. He was a tall guy with dark hair and piercing hazel eyes. Although he was notorious for his arrogance, Olivia felt that he was very capable. The other one was Skin Walker. He was a shapeshifter and Olivia didn’t know much about him. He was around 17. He had the appearance of a typical rebel at high school. She didn’t however recognize the women sitting on the right. She was petite and had long hair braided into what look like a long tail thinning gradually towards the end. The braid was set onto one of her shoulders. She sat straight. Olivia noticed that she was looking at her with what she would call “a mixed expression”. She couldn’t help but wondered if the woman recognized her.It

The team decided on their course of action. Hansel would stay in the parabola and collaborate with Maxine and try to stop more abductions. Olivia was assigned to lead the team that would go to Chicago Illinois. Skin, Kai and Roxi were to accompany her. Olivia and Hansel decided that they would stay in touch constantly with each other and with Meredith.The next day Olivia, Skin, Kai and Roxy teleported themselves to Chicago Illinois. They landed close to location of the church and began waiting for their aid.“The Agency has a lot of sources in the human world. They understand our mission and approve of our ethics that’s why they provide us support, whenever needed,” she explained to Roxi.“I think our guy is here,” Skin said, pointing towards a middle aged man who looked like a stereotype of a banker.“I’m sorry, have you been waiting long?” he asked cheerfully.He introduced himself as Kevin Miller. He was a banker and lived in a beautiful villa on the outskirts of the city.“So you

After lunch break, Olivia hurried towards the main office. Too little time and she had too much to do. William and Alan along with another one of their colleagues had left on a mission, assigning most of the tasks to Olivia and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a newbie who knew far lesser than Olivia. This meant that Olivia had to take care of a lot more stuff than she could handle and she was overwhelmed.“Olivia!” Elizabeth called out from across the hall.“Yes?” Olivia sighed.“Detective Morris is waiting for you in his office,” Elizabeth informed.“Who?... William?” Olivia asked with surprise.“Yes, he’s here to see you,” Elizabeth confirmed.Olivia looked at the open door on her left and walked in.“William? What are you doing here,” Olivia said entering his office. “I thought, you were…”“Alan and June are taking care of that stuff. Anyways, we have a pressing issue to attend to which is why I am here” William replied.“We?” Olivia asked.“That’s right, you too!” he said pointing to a
