“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

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

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

The Gourche was a territory closer to oblivion. Because such an intricate technique was a double-edged sword, trying it had never been an option for most wielders. Not only did it require a massive amount of energy, but it also ate a lot of stamina. This type of sealing technique was rumored to be taught by the Mistress herself. It’s made to counter each of the prowesses of Selene’s children. While it was successful in suppressing the enemy’s might, it failed to protect the clan, for each time a seal was effectively used, a Sylvania ended up sacrificing a life. As the Mistress was the foundation of this technique, Luis believed her when she said that the answers could be found at her back or, in other words, hidden in Z’s memories. That was before he was soaked with sweats, though. Now that he was catching his breath, listening to the wild drum of his heart, he couldn’t help thinking otherwise. It’s been over an hour since thousands of balls of energy were taken insi

After Tamaru’s disappearance, his wife, Gemimaro, has to work twice as hard to sustain the needs of his son. It didn’t help that he was always sick, so she had no choice but to leave her shadow behind to tend for him. Working as an executive to the Council, she was always taunted and was pressed to the corner as to the queries of his husband’s whereabouts. She didn’t know what to tell them because she herself didn’t want to believe that Tamaru was gone; however, it’s been over a month since he came back from his mission. Even the Council themselves has no idea where he’s gone. Besides, if ever Tamaru was to take long for a certain mission, he would never forget to use his shadow as a messenger that would bring about the letter saying he’s okay. She didn’t believe an inch that he would abandon her, let alone her son, considering that Luis needed special care. Though she tried to look for him, she soon realized that she’d end up neglecting their son, so she decided for the wor
