"MistWorld was formed long ago by the three powerful entities, who discovered this planet that was filled with raw magic and magical creatures that had been formed from the magic. The raw magic is the fog that covers MistWorld.
These entities chose this world for their creations; the vampires, witches, and werewolves.
These three beings were Raoul, the Elder Vampire god, goddess Salene for the wolves, and goddess Zhyrie, the witch's goddess. They decided to go to sleep and allow their creations to take over. But though they are asleep, they could wake up in this century, or the next, no one knows." Miss Witchard narrated in a gentle voice, hypnotizing us. We all kept quiet as she narrated even though we had heard the history of MistWorld before.
A hand shot up from the front of the class. A tall vampire with brown waist-length hair, pale skin, and small brown eyes that always looked half asleep.
"Yes, Moera? Speak dear?" Miss Witchard called in her soft, hypnotizing voice. She was always able to remember our names, something most teachers couldn't do. It made me like the willowy witch.
"I have two questions, ma'am. First, what would happen if the goddesses and god awakened. Second, why do we feel drained of our magic on Kalghaeon? Since we are the descendants of our goddesses and gods, not the products of the raw magic, we shouldn't be weakened when the magic clears for a day." Moera asked and sat.
"Thank you, Moera. Who knows the answers to her question?" Miss Witchard asked, looking around the room.
No one moved to answer. I didn't know the answers to the questions either.
Miss Witchard smiled at us. "Well, in truth, we don't know what will happen. No one alive knows what would happen. The first species created by these deities faded away or disappeared long ago. As you all know, we don't age and can't be killed easily but we can choose to fade if we get tired of living without dying.
To answer the second question which you all should have known if you had read Varys' book, 'Kalghaeon; A Day Of Weakness', we get drained of magic on Kalghaeon because we were formed with ninety percent of the raw magic in MistWorld. The other ten percent from the deities gave us our physical form. " Miss Witchard explained.
Whitney, a shy werewolf with curly brown hair that I had spotted among Erix's pack, shot her hands up. "Yes, Whitney?" Miss Witchard called.
Whitney stood up, looking shy when all eyes turned to her. Clearing her throat nervously, she asked, "Why does the mist disappear on Kalghaeon?"
"Very good question, Whitney. Thank you." Miss Witchard gave Whitney a huge smile. Whitney blushed and nodded before sitting down.
"As we all know, Kalghaeon is not only a day of weakness but also a day of darkness because, on this day, the two moons rule the sky in place of the sun. It is a deviation from the natural order of things. The magic seeps into its core when this happens until the order is restored."
I raised my hand, the question on my mind had been one I used to ponder about. And whenever I asked for answers, I was never given.
"Let's hear your question, Regina," Miss Witchard nodded at me.
Standing up, I asked, "where is the Core Of Magic located?"
"No one knows either except perhaps, the deities themselves." Miss Witchard replied just as the alarm blared for the next period. We all stood up as one, packed our things, and filed out of the classroom.
"There was another dead person found last night in TMC. I also found out that his body was brutally torn. People are saying it's an act of war from one of the species against TMC. Probably someone who disagrees with the peace between the people there." Adalyn told me, looking around my room. She looked cheerful in her pink sleeveless top and white leggings."If this is truly an act of war against what TMC stands for, then how long would it be before this academy is also attacked?" I asked her rhetorically, leaning against the window frame, and looking out the window at the dark sky, splattered with tiny stars, and designed by two full moons.A nightdiver flew right past my window, followed by two more. They were bird-like creatures that were often seen diving in the air, although they possessed long pointed ears and sharp teeth. They were nocturnal creatures that fed on smaller animals like Mistrats."That was probably what my father's emergency call to Alix was about.""Is he back?"
I woke up in an empty room the next morning. Stretching and yawning, I stood from the bed, scratching the itch on my butt before walking to the bathroom I was supposed to share with a roommate who was still absent. I didn't know who she was, but I was certain that I had a roommate who would share the room with me. The extra bed in my room was a dead giveaway. The person's name would only appear on the door underneath my name when she arrived.After I finished relieving myself, I came out searching for any message Adalyn might have left behind, but after searching to no avail, I stopped and sighed. It was the weekend, which meant there were no classes till Monday. So I wondered where she had gone.The sound of a chirping bird made me turn towards the window where Milli was perched looking at me with her blue eyes. Yawning again, I fed the tiny bird.After two hours of not hearing from Adalyn, I decided to go in search of her. I took a quick shower and threw on a pair of white leggin
"Adalyn!" Alix whispered in worry, his wide eyes flying to me. As one we both began to run out of the room and out of the female hostel, along with other girls on the same floor who had heard the howls."What's going on?" I heard someone ask another but I didn't wait to hear a response. Alix ran into Adalyn's room calling her name, but her room was empty of her. "Where is she?" I asked him in worry."She was supposed to be here waiting for me to bring you over." He responded, his fingers combing through his hair. I didn't ask why, I didn't need to. I guessed Adalyn wanted to throw a small surprise party.A whimpering sound came from the other side of the room drawing my attention. It was Lenda, Adalyn's quiet roommate."Go look for her. I'll take care of Lenda." I said to Alix who didn't look pleased. He looked like he just found himself in between a rock and a hard place. My eyes widened when I realized that he was worried for me, someone he just met. Touched beyond imagination, I
Pursuing the warriors as quietly as possible was not an easy task, to be honest, but I succeeded in doing so. The wolves and vampires were too preoccupied with what was outside the gate to smell me, or it was probably because they were a little far from me.When I arrived at the gate, I let out a quiet gasp at what I was seeing outside the ward. The sound of the roar that had alerted us of danger gave us a clue as to how big of a danger we were in. Though the monsters that made that sound were terrifying to behold.What I was staring at were creatures that resembled hybrid experiments gone wrong. The monsters were as tall as the trees in the forest. Their arms were so long they used them to walk along with their two legs, like the gorillaens I had once seen in the zoo back at Coven Community.These beasts had huge heads like wolves, fangs as long as my arm, their eyes were snake-like, and their huge bodies had thick muscles designed by a map of veins. They had long scorpion tails. Th
It took me longer than it should have to answer him. I was shocked that of all people, I had to cross paths with the alpha of Alix's rival pack and that I was feeling drawn to him. I did not know he was back already."Mistcats got your tongue?" He mocked in a husky voice, drawing closer to me. I almost gasped out loud at the warmth that became slightly warmer but not uncomfortable.Scowling in irritation, I snapped at him, "Have you ever heard of personal space? Just get the fuck out of my way." "Personal space? Never heard of it. Will you enlighten me, pretty please?" He replied, obviously fucking with me.I loured at him and started to walk around him, intent on ignoring him but he blocked my path.Frowning, I moved again to the left, and he followed. Gritting my teeth in barely suppressed anger, I moved to the right, but still he moved with me, smirking.Finally, I snapped at him. "What do you want?""Your name." He replied, leaning down to my face level, he added in a low voice,
It didn't take us long to settle into one of the vacant classrooms in Essex Hallway. After they had settled in, they all looked at me, waiting. Combing my fingers through my thick hair, I began."It seems that there are secrets in this school that I didn't know about." They all frowned in confusion."What secrets?" Lenda asked, no longer looking like the terrified girl I had accompanied to the Hall.I told them about the uniformed warriors, the absence of teachers and the principal at the gate, the strange scorpion-wolf hybrid that was intent on slamming the ward down to get to me, and Erix being among the warriors. I purposely left out my interaction with him and what I had felt with him. I didn't think Alix would be pleased. After I concluded, they were all quietly surprised.Adrika broke the silence first, her hard face looking even harder as she frowned in thought. "That's strange, indeed. I've never heard of these uniformed warriors before.""Erix told you they were there to prot
Hey, freak!" Adalyn groaned and rubbed her hands across her face tiredly. She stopped and turned to face the Clique of Mean Girls, who were walking with Erix and his packmates. They had stopped harassing her after what I did, but I guessed their silence had lasted long enough."I'm not a freak," Adalyn defended."You sure are. The freak omega daughter of an Alpha. Come to think of it, it shouldn't be a surprise. Compared to our Alpha back at home, your father is a weakling. It makes sense that he sired a weakling." Rhaegal said, smirking.Erix was watching the interaction with an amused expression on his face. Two of his female packmates, a girl with ebony hair and another with lavender-colored hair, clung to him. I had been meaning to talk to him after yesterday's meeting but didn't see him until now.His eyes met mine and he smiled at me. I felt a tug in my heart at that but ignored it. "Hello, Regina. We meet again. You look wonderful today."I snarled, ignoring Adalyn's confused g
"Alix! Reggy!" Adalyn's voice came from outside the great hall entrance. She had been waiting for us alongside Lenda and the pack.Adrika and Ace looked ready to jump into battle, while the rest of the group wore different expressions ranging from fear, and worry to horror.When we got to the Hall entrance, two things happened at once. The scorpion-wolves arrived and a swirling dark hole appeared before us, a red figure flew from within it before it closed back.We all stared at the figure in shock. It was a tall woman with wild red hair and flawless skin but when she turned to face us, I gasped. Her face was a reflection of mine. The only difference between us was our eyes. My eyes were gray whereas hers were all black, with no whites. A dark witch."What the hell?" Alix muttered."Hello daughter," the dark witch greeted in a voice that sounded sweet as honey but spiced with venom. I frowned and stepped back, Alix moved to stand in front of me and his sister was clinging to my arm
