Chapter 22 – DEATHMATCH
TODAY, Eleand equipped himself for the battle. He wore the battle armor, the best suit he could get compared before, and brought his golden bow. He would fight the priestess the way he could defend himself. How could he explain to her that he studied everything in the book, but there was no improvement?
He uttered his prayers again when he saw Fariyah waiting near the ice statue of Veira. He was somehow relieved that the priestess was not wearing her white battle suit, and her sword was nowhere in sight.
“Are you ready?” she asked.
He silently swallowed hard, and he managed to nod his head in agreement. Because even if he would honestly inform her that he couldn’t wield the water, they would still fight. Maybe it was his fault. Because she gave him enough time to practice the basic spells, but he failed to make it happen.
Fariyah brought him again to the peak of the waterfall.
“I want to see how m

“WAKE UP…” An angelic voice reached his ears. Eleand slowly opened his eyes. The smiling face of a female faerie greeted him. “Swasah…” Her smile broadened when she witnessed him blinking his eyes, adjusting to the light. He was immediately drawn into the stranger’s golden eyes. Wait, she looked familiar. She was the same faerie he saw after the accident. The one who healed him before Ahldrin and Nahil found him. “Who are you?” He tried to get up, but a stinging pain in his chest forbid him to do so. Eleand surveyed his eyes around. He was half-naked, and his body was submerged in water. He was in a green water lake. “My name is Kharyn. And yes, this is the second time I saved your life.” Her voice was vvery comforting. “Thank you. I’m Eleand. But where I am?” The place was not familiar. He was confident it was not part of Velidia. “I brought you here at the nearest lake below Steri Volcano, in thi

KHARYN left him at a safe distance, a few meters away from the gigantic gate of the temple. She used her magic to make him appear like he just got back from the Steri Volcano.Eleand was in a total mess. His battle armor ripped, and the speckle of blood spread over his body.“What the hell is this?” he complained. He looked decent earlier. Now he came to view as ten goblins had played off him.“I told you, they shouldn’t know that I helped you. It’s time to show them what you’ve got. Master the fire magic. I’m sure we’ll see each other soon,” her smile was reassuring.“Don’t leave me yet, I have tons of questions—”Then she was gone.Eleand could not utter the hundreds of questions playing in his mind.He cussed harder. When he realized the distance that he had to walk to reach the foot of the temple, it was like walking in the Gr
The Hidden Realm Chapter 25 – THREAT
HE woke up early in the morning to review the spells from Enkille’s book. He read some about the Vanire and shapeshifting, but it was complicated. He couldn’t self-study because a mistake would lead to his death.“You’re taking it seriously, Eleand.”Eleand looked in Enkille’s direction. She stood near the dining table with a tray of foods at hand. He used her transportation magic to get in and out of the room. He was not surprised anymore.“This is an advance study regarding shapeshifting and transportation magic. And you’re right, I can’t understand much of the context,” he closed the book and faced Enkille.“One magic at a time. I talked with Fariyah. She seemed thrilled with your fast improvement. Imagine, you mastered the Protexerium, and you survived the harsh condition of the Unforgiving Mountain.” She lightly laughed and added, &ldq
The Hidden Realm Chapter 26 – VATRANUM
INSIDE the library, Eleand looked for the priestess, but she was not around. He found two male faeries busy reading from a thick old book. They wore hooded gray robes with gold embroidery. A moment later, Fariyah emerged near him. Her usual cold expression was all over her face again. “You’ll start your Vatranum training today. Fire magic is the most complicated among the four elements, be careful.” Fariyah earnestly said. He lightly nodded. Eleand tried not to raise his brow upon hearing her. She wanted him to be careful while she almost killed him twice. This High Priestess was a two-faced witch! One of his goals now was to get even with Fariyah for trying to end his life. He couldn’t forget what she had done to him. Once he became strong, he would not hesitate to ask her for another deathmatch. “I will give you a week to master the basics of fire elements. Then you’ll have to fight me again.” She clicked her fi
The Hidden Realm Chapter 27 – DANGERS OF FIRE
“BLACK FIRE is a curse…” these words from Kharyn echoed in Eleand’s mind. Nobody should know about this. Everything was an accident, and he didn’t intend to do it. The black fire in his hand triggered because he was careless. He needed to take extra precautions not to repeat this mistake.Damn! Eleand thought of his faerie ancestor. Whoever he was must have had something to do with his magic. Now he firmly believed that his faerie blood was special. Could it be that his ancestor was a royal?Although, he couldn’t find solid proof as of now. But even Althy and Rade believed that his talents were extraordinary, considering the amount of mana resting inside his body. Even they were unaware of him being a mortal.Eleand continued his study on Vatranum, and the cousins were considerate of his learning process. He never mentioned the minor accident inside his room. They must not k
The Hidden Realm Chapter 28 – CAPITAL CITY
EARLY in the morning, Eleand made his daily stretching after he woke up. He had not seen Enkille these days, and other faeries were looking out for him to serve his meals. Surprisingly, he found Enkille’s absence a little uncomforting since even though he loved his alone time. The current situation was understandable since everyone was busy as usual. And this time, he was thankful that no one could reprimand him once he sneaked out along with Althy and Rade.The cousins reminded him not to wear winter clothing so they wouldn’t catch much attention when they arrived in Argia. He chose the simple gray tunic accented with silver, paired with black pants and leather boots. He wore a cloak without hesitation since he was used to it, as regular clothing in this world. He picked the crimson-colored with a silver brooch.Eleand immediately found Althy and Rade outside his room. Both were smiling playfully. They were both
The Hidden Realm Chapter 29 – TROUBLE IN ARGIA
DOUBTS started to fill in Eleand’s mind thinking about the possibility of leaving the Winter Region soon. Why the situation had to be like this? Even there was a constant threat that the High Priestess might kill him in another sparring, his confidence was blossoming that he could give a fair fight these days. Especially that he could wield the fire now, it was a massive improvement for him. Eleand let out a sigh. He did not hesitate to drink the liquor resting on the table despite his reservations earlier. He hurriedly gulped the beverage from his glass and tasted similar to beer! He drank, thinking about his high tolerance for alcohol. The sweetness was gently caressing his throat. He lost count of time, and he was overjoyed. At this moment, he felt like he was home. The three went out, really wasted. They couldn’t even walk straight. It was dusk, and the sun was about to set on the horizon. They had to be back at the te
The Hidden Realm Chapter 30 – VANIRE
ELEAND gasped when they finally reached the temple. The transportation magic used by Rade brought them inside his room, and his eyes broadened when he noticed Enkille sitting on his bed. She appeared to be impatiently waiting.“Where the hell have you been?” Enkille’s voice sounded dangerous. She got up and carefully examined the three of them.Eleand averted his gaze to avoid confrontation.“You’re drunk! You reeked of alcohol.” Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at Eleand, “You’ve been to Argia? What a fool! Aren’t you aware that Erganiv is in chaos because the parts of the key to the portals hidden in different domains, gone missing!”“I’m sorry,” he murmured—still eyes on the floor.Enkille looked at Rade and Althy. “Leave us alone. I’ll deal with you later.”The cousins nodded and immediately
