Raven noticed her movement and whispered, "We'll talk about this later, okay? We need to keep it casual."
Meredith nodded slowly. She decided to keep her suspicions to herself for the time being and let herself enjoy the atmosphere of the afternoon.
On the court, Lucas and Jeremy were still busy competing one-on-one in their little basketball game. Maya laughed at Jeremy's attempts to get the ball in accurately.
"You should learn from me," Maya said while eating her ice cream casually.
Jeremy snorted. "Oh yeah? Want to prove it?"
Maya smiled a challenging smile. She stood up, grabbed the ball, and in one seemingly effortless motion, threw it towards the hoop. The ball travelled in a perfect traject

Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 55
Its body was covered in lifeless black eyes, and from its back extended like wings of sharp mist.At the centre of its indistinct face, there were only two pale lights... looking directly at him."The Night Watcher..." she whispered in horror.The stone door rumbled, opening only slightly. Valtorius shouted, "Come in, now!"Raven dashed forward, but... just as she was about to reach the gate, a shadowy claw swooped down from behind-throwing them both against the wall with tremendous force."ARGH!" Valtorius was blown away, his body hitting the stone hard.Raven fell, her chest tight, her pendant slipping off and sliding to the floor.The gate... closed again, slowly but surely. The spell was broken.Valtorius lifted his face, blood pouring from his temples. "No... not now..."The voice came again. But this time it wasn't a whisper."You cannot run from me, Elara. I have waited too long for you."The Night Watcher stepped forward, his shadow swallowing the light, muting the air, even t

The Night Watcher had remembered his name."He smells the way. He will hunt them down between the passages of time and space. There is no place to hide. There is no safe place." The voice did not come from the mouth, but echoed in the heads of all who were there.The black-robed figure spread his arms. "Find him. Smell the traces of his blood. And bring her home-either alive... or fully exposed."The Night Watcher climbed out completely. His body was tall, yet not fixed in shape. He merged with the shadows, and as he stepped, the floor beneath him turned frozen, cracked, and dead.Without the sound of a step, without a gesture, the creature disappeared-merging with the darkness beyond the world, moving swiftly like a nightmare that slips between the beats of time.And the last whisper before it vanished was a bone-chilling sound"I see you, Elara... I see you..."Their footsteps echoed down the damp, old stone hallway, illuminated only by the faint glow of the Raven pendant that now h

"We remember you."Raven shivered. She glanced at Valtorius, but the professor remained silent, focused on guiding their steps. But Raven knew she heard it, too.Suddenly, around the corner of the hallway, there was a low growl. Valtorius halted his steps, his hand raised, ready to cast magic.From behind a thin mist, a creature emerged-its height almost touching the ceiling, its body shrouded in a pitch-black mist that flowed like smoke.Its eyes glowed blood red."Guardian of the Eastern Gate," Valtorius hissed. "We must pass through. But not with brute force."The creature stepped forward, and its heavy voice echoed"Give me a name. A true name. Or stay here... forever."Raven stared at Valtorius, terrified. "What does that mean? A true name?"Valtorius looked at her deeply. "Your name, Raven.

The black-robed figure laughed softly. "Of course you know me. I am the part of life that you forgot. I am the truth they tried to hide from you."Suddenly, the room shook violently again. From outside, there was a loud bang followed by a heartbreaking scream that echoed throughout the building. Something-or someone-was charging in, bringing even greater horror than before.The shattered door was now wide open, revealing a hallway filled with a dark mist that crawled across the floor like a living creature. In that mist, shadows flashed rapidly, creating whispers that sliced through the air.Valtorius quickly grasped Raven's wrist. "We need to get out of here. Right now."But before they could move, the black-robed figure raised one hand, creating a swirl of shadows that shot towards them. Valtorius swiftly formed an energy shield, blocking the attack before it could touch them."You think you can protect her forever, Professor?" the figure's voice sounded even colder. "Elara is one o

"They're already here..." muttered Valtorius in a deep voice that was almost a whisper, but still clearly audible amidst the chaos.A loud knock echoed from the room's door, not just any knock - more like a heavy blow that nearly cracked the wood. And the voice returned, calling out in a hoarse, threatening tone."Elara... Elara Blaise... You can't hide forever..."Raven's blood rushed. That voice... too real, too close. She could feel the coldness of every syllable summoned by the figure out there. Not only that-there was something inside her that trembled violently, responding to the call in a way she could not understand.Professor Valtorius stepped forward, raising his hand. Ancient symbols glowed in the air, forming a layer of protection around them. "Listen to me, Raven," he said firmly. "You must endure. Don't let them get inside your mind."But that's easier said than done.The door rumbled again. This time, the sound of wood cracking could be heard so clearly. A strange light

Raven's grip on her pendant tightened. She didn't. She didn't know them. She didn't want to go with them. But before Raven could say anything- DUARRR!!!A powerful explosion shook the university. The sound of shattering glass and loud screams mixed together. From outside, a blood-red flash of light split the night sky. That sound... that scream... Raven felt her body tremble. Something terrible was happening outside. Something related to her. Meanwhile, the first black-robed creature smiled faintly. "Look, Elara... it all started again."And in an instant, darkness engulfed the room.Darkness devoured the room in an instant. Raven could not see anything. Her breathing was ragged, her palms cold and clammy with sweat. Her body trembled not only from fear, but also from the strange feeling that was slowly running through her.A subtle whisper swirled in her head, like a voice coming from a distance. "Elara... the time has come...""Don't listen to them!" P
