Tears' Curse

Qilong guided her to the back their castle. When he pushed a mobile marble rock at the expansive gravel entrance, the stone door lifted, unveiling a long corridor that stretched into darkness. The next second, their presence was greeted by a gentle flood of light, making its way to the far end and illuminating the entire walkway beneath the vault.Xue'er stepped in, her eyes fixed on the iced cuboids nailed into the wall behind every two ionic pillars. She glided her touch across the coffins and sliced her finger on the sharp edge, drawing blood into view.A ritual to remind herself of the pain and suffering they had gone through.She extended her hand toward the illuminating azurites hovering above the coffins. A soft wave of blue radiance emanated from her palm, gracefully streaming towards the stones and intensifying their ethereal glow.Preserving their dragon bodies was the only thing Long Sheng Jie could do."Come on, Xue'er." Qilong's echo came through.She withdrew her force an

The first day as a disguised human. The first day as a Stellaerian.The first day of the beginning of everything."Keep your identity well hidden, white dragon," Miracle muttered, adjusting the little red bow tie on her uniform. "As long as I'm not exposed, everything will be all right.""Miracle! You done?" Lyn shouted from the bottom floor."Just a second!"As soon as she walked down the stairs, the smell of flour and vanilla extract wafted to her nose. She sniffed. It was something she wasn't used to smelling.Hayden gestured for her to come over. Grabbing two slices of bread from the toaster, he coated each with a generous amount of peanut butter. Watching his hand move to the empty plate at her seat, only then did she understand the pieces were meant for her. Miracle pulled out the chair, exhaling a silent sigh. She wanted to refuse it. she had never had such a mortal-ly meal in her thousand years of life.Dragons didn't eat sandwiches or drink milk; they rarely ate. But if they d

"Third one. We need to hurry," Kingsley said as he roamed the dim-lit streets with Lyn.Blue eddies coiled around Lyn's spearpoint blade, linking it with the fiery essence of his Timeless Flare. Frost crept over his skin, his blood slowing to an icy pulse—yet he felt no pain. His gaze flashed blue, echoing the power from Lyn's sword as a wave of heat surged through him, seamlessly merging with her icy energy,Forged by the same swordsmith, these swords opposed one another if one existed for a different purpose. Stained with thick marks of blood and tears, Deathless Ice and Timeless Flare bore an indomitable will to serve their owners faithfully until death did part them.Kingsley shuffled through the bushes, leaped up the trees, and hopped down into the tunnels. He scanned his surroundings; darkness pressed in from every side. Most shops lay shuttered, leaving only a handful of all-night storefronts casting faint, ghostly glows across the empty streets.Just as he was about to call it

The sea roared with fury, its waves crashing fiercely against the shore, challenging the level of the land. Leaves, torn from their branches, swirled wildly through the air, swept up in the relentless gusts. Bins stationed at every street corner toppled over, spilling their contents across the roads.The choice Hayden and Miracle were about to make seemed to have angered nature.When the twins saw a stranger at their doorstep, their expressions darkened, especially when they caught sight of the brutal condition of his chest. No explanation was needed; it was obvious he'd been attacked by Mynheex. What worried them was not the attack—it was the fact that he was still alive.On top of that, bringing a mortal into their house wasn't a smart choice. True, their house was indeed a place to stay. But at the same time, it was a hideout for dragons to complete their missions in this world.A place meant to be kept away from humans.Standing with his legs apart, Kingsley folded his arms across

"There she is!" A familiar voice pulled Miracle back to reality.She blinked away the hints of tears. "What's the matter, Lyn?"With her arms akimbo, Lyn grumbled, "You've just made Kingsley and I run around the whole school looking for you! What are you doing here?""Exactly. We thought something bad had happened to you! You scared us, man!" her brother continued, panting."I..." Miracle wanted to say something, but Lyn cut her off."Whatever. Let's go! Class started already!"'Already? Had it been that long?' she thought.They fled down the stairs, their speed picking up with every step as they remembered the next lesson after Chemistry on Wednesday—History, taught by Maddie, the youngest yet most unamiable teacher."All right. So can anyone briefly tell me about the history of Syihuex Island?" His voice carried through the door just as they reached the classroom.Kingsley nudged the back door open, trying to be as stealthy as possible, hoping for a chance to slip in unnoticed.Howev
