Betrayal
One of Michelle’s brows raised, her lips pursed. “Well, that was quick.” She clenched her fist on the hem of her shirt, putting all the pressure in it, hoping that, by doing so, the pain in her chest would be gone.
Z, her hands still raised, pouted at first before bursting into a fit of laughter. When Michelle continued to look sour, she straightened her face. “Just kidding!” Clearing her throat, she supplied, “You should’ve seen your face. You look like you’ve eaten something bad.”
“Do you think I’m joking? Do you think this is a joke?” Michelle was trying to modulate her voice, so it ended up rising and falling every time. It sounded funny for Z, but she noticed the redness on Michelle’s ears and the way her face crumpled.
Breathing heavily, Z brushed her hair. It was a bit odd that the pain earlier was gone. Though she could still feel a little bit of the burning sensation, it was e

Shadows of the Lost Before the Storm
Z couldn’t understand why she broke down after Hail’s stupidly declared that he’s going on to the dark side. Or was he? He merely said they’d see each other soon on the battlefield, so it vaguely implied his motives to be a part of her enemy.Hail’s action just didn’t sit right for her. He’s someone he perceived to be strong and, a bit hard-headed, but she had never anticipated him to be this way. It’s too absurd Z’s even wishing for it to be just a dream.However, no matter how she pinched herself, she wasn’t waking up. It’s either she’s trapped in her nightmares or her reality had already been linked to hell.“Damn this life!” She slammed her fist on the ground, biting her lips so hard.There’s just something about her fate that irked her so much. Why did she have to fight Wielder she bonded a relationship with? First, it was her father. Although they barely have i
Shadows of the Lost The Breach to the Deal
Z woke up with shivers running down her spine. Cold long fingers were trailing her skin, crawling all the way up to her neck. She swallowed hard as blackness greeted her. The only light was coming from a small lamp with a pea-size bulb that barely illuminates her room.“W-Who—”The slender finger caressed her lips, and she was left closing her eyes as her heart beats rather fast.“Have you been a good girl?” a toneless voice whispered, its sound waves dancing in the air, swirling in Z’s eardrums.It’s as though a lightbulb appeared inside her head, paving the way to unraveling the man before her.“D-Dark?” She tried to widen her eyes, but she could barely see him with the intense blackness.With her sweats trickling, she had a quick look around, trying to find a scape route as earlier as possible. A small smile curved her lips when she realized she’s still in her room. However, an e
Shadows of the Lost Between Life and Death
The Skippers were huddled around Z’s bed, trying to have a calm discussion of Z’s whereabouts. From what they’ve known so far, Z was still unconscious when they were attacked from behind. They have no idea who it was, but when they woke up, Z’s already gone.Michelle even goes so far as to lock her hands on Briane’s shirt to stop him from circling the school, announcing that Blame had been kidnapped. There’s already a lot going on in their classes; any more anomaly and their reputation as the strongest class might just change.Not that she’s more worried about it. It’s just that nothing good would come out of bowing down to panic.“I caught a glimpse of our attacker,” said Berry after a moment of silence.Briane snorted, his hands folded across his chest. “Who is he then.”The twins were sitting back to back with each other. Berry was facing the door and Cherry was eye to e
Shadows of the Lost Declaration of War
The sun was hidden behind the thick clouds building on the horizon. It’s as if heaven knew what has occurred below it and was sympathizing with the Shadowests crying in agony. There were a lot of Nobles suffering a second-degree burn, some have melted skin, their flesh becoming visible.Briane could only look around, his brows furrowed, as screams echoed around the field. It was a mixture of pain, despair, and anger. Somehow, he felt a little useless that he couldn’t do anything.“Where are the teachers?” He gritted his teeth, clenching his fists.“Even if you stay angry for the rest of your life, Speedy, nothing will ever make sense to you,” said Michelle. She was nursing her burns and bruises, sitting with her knees on the grass. “Relax! Unless they’re dead, they’re really going to make some stupid noise.”Shaking his head, Briane looked around again. There were still Nobles and Lackeys who wer
Shadows of the Lost Consequences
Z kept her eyes closed. She’s trying to be indifferent to the screams of the Shadowests suffering Dark’s wrath. Although she wanted to help them, she’s yet to acquire sufficient energy to stand toe to toe with his father.As energy accumulated inside her, the wound she got from the spear issued a puff of smoke. The skin sewed itself and the pain had been turned to a tickling sensation. But a prickling pain on her stomach instantly replaced it. There’s a yellowish light carving a map-like reflection in her uniform.Between the spears and the scar, she knew the latter was easier to bear.She sighed. She could feel it. The rotting hands of death were drawing nearer, its breath sending shivers down to her spine. She couldn’t really explain the weakness starting to filter through the strength she’s trying to acquire in the environment. She’s more than aware, though, that it symbolized the death she would have to face right af
Shadows of the Lost Consequences 2
Zephaniah’s training was never something to be overlooked. As one could expect from her master, Dark, her training approach was to battle death itself. Breaking the limitations and going way beyond the maximum skill that one had been born with: That’s his secret for being an invincible legend. It was rumored that the three other legends couldn’t come close to the level of mastery that Dark had attained. That’s why they never waged war against his Empire. Besides, almost all of his underlings had the strength of a thousand men, which made the Forbidden City a formidable place. With that reputation, Dark never wanted to have a bad seed; hence, he decided to keep an eye on his daughter’s training. He wanted her to be the heir that surpassed her, the heir that had grappled the techniques he wasn’t able to master in his prime. After all, she’s the only one capable of going beyond his level, considering that her DNA contained Dark’s. “On your feet! Now!” Dark’s cru
Shadows of the Lost Shadow
Michelle and Berry were standing right outside their quarter to guard the remaining Shadowests inside. They were being attended by Granny Williams, along with Jane who’s more worried about the fatigue Granny now had. She’d been healing a lot of Shadowests in a short amount of time, and Michelle couldn’t imagine how much energy she already wasted. Above all, what she couldn’t anticipate was the fact that only about thirty Shadowests remained, along with five lackeys who were lucky enough not to get caught with Dark’s wrath. What a shame! They were supposed to be the future of Pasithea but, against a legend who was almost forgotten, they proved to be nothing special. “Are you okay?” whispered Berry, narrowing his eyes at the fierce battle between a Legend and a Skipper. Snorting, Michelle folded her arms across her chest. “You’ve been asking me that since earlier. Are you that worried?” Though her brows were contorted, she couldn’t help but noti
Shadows of the Lost Missing Piece
Shadow Wielders Institute of Knowledge changed dramatically the night after Dark paid a visit. Not only had he been able to kill a lot of Shadowests, but he was also able to freeze most of them. Michelle would never forget the terror Dark had left. When her shadow saved her, she was able to spot the spears hitting all over the field, freezing even the meadows. It’s as though the thunders were probing the spears to do more damage as it groaned ever loudly. She was just glad that everyone was inside their Quarters; however, long after she thought of them, the shadow Dark left slowly split into two, bringing along with it a sheet of film, which were wrapped by purple lightning. Michelle couldn’t believe her eyes, but she had to acknowledge that if it’s Dark’s making, there’s no doubt it would be beyond ordinary. The more it stretched, the more the film grew weaker, cracks dancing all the way to its stretched surface. It’s spelled a problem only known to itself.
