The Tale of Echor- An Unexpected Journey/Clarisse Lorenzo

𓅪 THE TALE OF ECHOR A few thousand years ago there were two worlds connected. This is the world of Earth and the world of Echor. The world of Echor has three types of creatures inhabited by Elves, Dwarves and Muggles. Meanwhile, on Earth there is a creature called man. Fun, abundant and full of laughter envelop the two worlds. But along with the change of time, so does the change of man's behavior. They learned to be greedy, to be selfish and to be oppressive. Because of the variation in how people deal with Elves, Dwarves and muggles. They learned to lived separately. Until one day, there was a big battle between the two worlds. The surroundings are full of blood. Many shed tears. Many were killed and many were in pain. Elves, Dwarves and Muggles are defeated. And in return they have to go back to their world and never come back again. The three creautures have already closed the tunnels that connect the world of Echor and Earth.

𓅪 CHAPTER ONE DANGER Fika's POV "Welcome to Metanoia High. " I said as I rotated the digital cam I was carrying around the campus. This school is shrouded in magic. The human eye cannot see this school. This school was hidden because of the fight of immortals and mortals that took place several thousand years ago that would be replaced by the permanent closure of the tunnel they call. What they didn't know was that many Immortals were left behind, so this school was made to serve as the home of the Immortals. You won't know it's a weird school until you get into it. Many wonders are happening here, just like last year there was a monster with three heads and a giant snake, fortunately no one was hurt. As soon as I got out of the car, I was immediately greeted by the big golden gate of Metanoia. We always knew we were not ordinary. We are different from the people we meet. We are strong and age slower compared to them. That's why we grew out

The Tale of Echor- An Unexpected Journey/Clarisse Lorenzo

Ataraxis POV "IS THERE ANYONE HERE?!!" Hygge loud shout, enveloped the dark forest we entered. His voice echoed around causing the birds to fly around. This kind of scenario is not new to us because, we are always on our training on how to fight. But it's different now because we know it's not a simple training anymore. The life of one of our friends is in danger and we don't want to take the risk. "FIKA!" I shouted as I looked around. I did not know where to look because I was surrounded by tall trees and thick leaves. Not even a shadow of the sun can enter the forest because the fog surrounds the area. "FIKA WHERE ARE --- !!" I was still shouting, but I was stopped when Hygge suddenly grabbed my wrist causing me to turn my gaze to him him. I lower

"Maktub?" Ataraxis asked hesitantly as she looked at the man wearing a green gown and with long white hair. "Good Evening Ataraxis." Maktub said without emotion as he helped Ataraxis stand up from laying on him. Ataraxis couldn't take her eyes off Maktub. Perhaps she was surprised at Maktubs transformation. Maktub was wearing a green long dress that reached up to his ankle and sleeves that reached up to his wrist. His hair is also long white and very straight. He's also wearing a gold colored headband. Maktub is the guardian of Ataraxis, Hygge, Fika, Meraki, Yūgen and Azure. He served as the parents of the six. But when the six entered the Metanoia academy they have moved away from Maktub because the academy has its own dormitory. "What are you doing here?

IV | The Unexpected Journey

Azure, Hygge, Yūgen, Meraki, Ataraxis and Welkin started climbing Mt. Eumoirous. It is located at the back of the Metanoia Academy. It is no longer covered by Metanoia but they take care of this mountain because there's a a portal that goes into the world of Echor. "What is the reason of King Dadirri.. Why did he choose to live in the dark rather than be a good leader?" Yūgen asked Welkin as they seriously walked up the mountain. Earlier they were talking about Dadirri the cruel king of Alamort who caused the world of Echor to gradually break down. He wants to own the whole world of Echor as well as the world of man so they need to stop it as soon as possible so that its power does not grow completely. Welkin also said that they are the only hopes left to beat Dadirri. So they are confused, why they're chosen to

V | The Lake of the Mermaids Tear

The Tale of Echor- An Unexpected Journey/Clarisse Lorenzo

According to what Mr. Welkin said we had to cross the Lake of the Mermaids Tears to get to the kingdom of Ataraxia. Hygge's POV "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" A mermaid shouted as her eyes turned into monstrous one. Their voices are horrible especially their looks. What is in the book is true. Mermaid has a very beautiful and enchanting voice that can attract and hypnotize males and females, just like they did with Ataraxis earlier. Their beauty is like a goddess. But it becomes the opposite when they are on the ground. "We have to cross the Lake of the mermaids tears to get to the kingdom of Ataraxia." Fearless Ataraxis said as paden stood on the high rock and looked seriously at a mermaid next to me. My forehead furrowed as the mermaids around us laughed at the same time. "And do you think you can still get out of here alive?" A Mermaid's eyes glazed over. "And do you think we'll be allowed to die ?!" Ataraxis shouted at once starting with her sword.

It cannot be hidden that Muggles are really cheerful creatures and they love fun. The Muggles are also known for their ability to ferment wines. They are also delicious to cook and good at planting. The life of the Muggles in the world of Ataraxia was peaceful and happy and it was they who thanked their king who did nothing but protect his subjects."You'll get used to the noise of the creatures here. They love fun." Welkin whispered to Hygge as he reached for the bottle of wine.Hygge was just silent in the corner as he watched the mess around him. Some sat at the tab

VII | The Training

The Tale of Echor- An Unexpected Journey/Clarisse Lorenzo

The group has reached the peak of Laximus. The air is fresh at the top and pure green can be seen all around, due to the grass and plants. Also visible from the top is the small town of Ataraxia and its castle surrounded by gigantic trees, full of yellow flowers."In order for us to regain our homeland, we have to fight for it." Welkin said seriously as he slowly walked in front of Ataraxis, Meraki, Fika, Hygge, Yūgen and Azure."No matter how hard ..." Yūgen said."Even to death." Azure said.“We’ll fight,” Hygge said."For peace .." Meraki said."And safety," Said Fika."Of the next generation." End of Ataraxis."Ad Astra per Asper. (Through hardships to the stars)" Welkin said to his comrades with a smile.They started their training with proper breathing and proper sword handling depending on the situation.The group thought they already knew these things but they were wrong because there w

"I won!""I won!"Azure and Fika shouted one after another, before they laid their swords on the floor.Welkin smiled when he saw that his prediction that Fika and Azure would win was correct, but something was missing.Who'll win is it Hyyge or is it Ataraxis?Ataraxis and Hygge's never-ending battle between Ataraxis and Hygge did not stop the sound of swords."Just give up!" Ataraxis shouted at Hygge and hit Hygge with his sword but he was caught immediately."You're the one who needs to give up." Hygge said.The tiredness in their voices is obvious from the endless fight between them and Ataraxis. But one of them seems to have no intention of giving up. They have the same strength, so each time they defend their two swords, the impact is different."Go Ataraxis!" Meraki and Fika shouted. "Go Hyyge!" Azure and Yūgen should. The surroundings were noisy due to the drunkenness of the
