“Your turn,” Zeda said to Lucian after they finished eating. “Tell me about you. What have you been up to?”

“Nothing much. I’m an only child,” he said.

“Me too,” Zeda smiled.

“Don’t you think we share a lot in common?” Lucian asked with a dark look in his eyes.

“I guess so,” she replied with a shy smile.

“What do you want to know about me, love?” he asked, leaning forward with a charming smile.

“A lot. But I’m most curious about why you don’t go on missions with the other princes, even in the mixed team, like I heard.”

Lucian immediately stiffened, his smile disappearing. Zeda instantly regretted her words. Carrie had told her this was something he never talked about.

Lucian leaned back and poured himself a glass of wine, downing it all at once. She was about to tell him to forget it, but he cleared his throat, and she waited.

“I don’t go on missions because I don’t want to reveal my true self,” he said.

“Why not?” Zeda asked.

“Because I’m a monster on the inside, and I’m afraid I wo

    “Hi, Mrs. Amelia, good morning,” Zeda greeted, putting the phone on speaker for Carrie to listen in.“Zeda, how are you doing?” Mrs. Amelia asked, her voice warm.“Great, eating a pizza,” Zeda grinned.“Oh, a nice morning then,” Mrs. Amelia chuckled. “Well, not to waste much of your time or interrupt your morning for long, I called to offer my help and assistance, if the need be.”Zeda exchanged a look with Carrie and frowned. “Your help?”“Yeah. I know that you’re having some difficulties in accessing your full powers, which is understandable, but this is me offering my help to you. Adrian is a great student, one of the best out there, but I think you need someone with a lot more experience to help you harness your powers,” said Mrs. Amelia.“Well, I guess you’re... you’re right,” Zeda stammered, totally caught off guard.“Look, Zeda, I’m not saying you should ditch Adrian as your tutor—no, that’s far from it. I just want you to know that you need an experienced, powerful tutor along

    “If I help you in your quest, what’s in it for me? What do I gain from it?”“I’ll help you unlock the demon portal and bring your people into the Earth, sir.”“Hahaha. Do you even know what it takes?”“Of course. A five-elemental Mage.”“So do you have any at your disposal?”“Yes, sir. Potentials, though.”“Potentials? I don’t need no fucking potentials here. What about the Empress? She’s still not back?”“No, sir, and no one still knows about her and her husband’s whereabouts. Besides, one of the two potentials is ahead of her.”“What?”“Yes sir. The Empress is a three-elemental Mage. Zeda, the female potential, is a four-elemental Mage, while Adrian, the male potential, is a two-elemental Mage.”“A four-elemental Mage? That should be the first in how many centuries now?”“Yes sir. Both of them have ascended the Realm, so it’s possible for them to hit the five-element level.”“That’s true, but we’ll focus on the girl, Zeda. We don’t have time to wait for the boy, do we?”“No, sir. Be

  • Zeda And The Four Princes Of Shadowbrook Academy    LOCK HIM AWAY

    An eerie silence greeted Zeda when she arrived at the Demon Kingdom. Serenity had always been an attribute of the kingdom since only two people lived in it, but somehow, as she made her way through the front yard and to Lucian’s apartment door, Zeda could tell that the place was even more quiet than usual.She could even hear her footsteps echo, and the sound of her breathing and heart thud was too loud for comfort. Had it always been like that? She wasn’t sure.She knocked on the door three times. She hoped to see Shane, at least. Even if Lucian truly left the Academy, which she was still struggling to believe, Shane would be able to tell her where he went, right?A dreadful feeling settled in her gut as no one answered the door after three more attempts. She called Lucian, but his line wasn’t reachable. After getting the same response for the sixth time, she tried calling Shane. Her heart dropped when she got the same reply.Did Shane go with Lucian? No, he couldn’t have. He was he

    “Come on, Z. Let’s go home.” Carrie patted Zeda’s shoulder. Zeda was lingering behind her seat while everyone else was leaving.“Head on without me, I’ll be back soon,” Zeda forced a smile. “I want to have a word with the Director.”Carrie arched a brow, glanced at Mr. Percival, and then nodded. “Alright then, See you later.” They exchanged a quick hug before Carrie left the room.When Zeda turned to face Mr. Percival, he was staring at her calmly, as if he had known she would seek him out.“How are you feeling, dear?” he asked, coming to stand close to her.She shrugged with a half-smile. “I’m okay, I guess.”“Congratulations on taking another step with your powers,” he smiled. “But I must tell you that there is still a lot of work to do.”“A lot to do?” She frowned.“Yes,” he nodded. “The fact that you controlled four elements at once doesn’t mean you’ve fully accessed your powers. You are simply going through your manifestation stage. This is where all the powers you can wield show

    Adrian broke the tense silence in the room. “That aside, I think we should congratulate Zeda.” He sent Zeda a smile, and she knew it was both an attempt to lighten the mood in the room and to appease her anger toward him for his earlier comment about Lucian.“What for?” Ava frowned. She wasn’t the only one in the dark; several others glanced at each other in confusion. Zeda realized that not all of them had seen the video yet, especially since the meeting had been called almost immediately after it was posted.“Zeda controlled four elements in training today,” Adrian revealed, sounding proud.A few of them gasped in shock. “She’s a four-elemental Mage?” Torvin asked, staring at Zeda.“Yeah,” Adrian nodded.“I watched the video. Zeda really pulled off something utterly remarkable,” Kodak added.“Which video?” Vyr frowned.“Check the website. Adrian posted it a few minutes before the meeting,” Kodak replied.Everyone immediately pulled out their phones, including Mr. Percival and Mrs.

    “What?”There was a collection of shocked reactions around the table as everyone took in Mr. Percival’s shocking revelation.Zeda’s heart sank as Mr. Percival’s words kept repeating in her mind like a loop. Lucian left the Academy? Why? When?“Did he leave to get groceries that couldn’t be found in the Academy, or did he leave like, he’s not a student anymore?” Torvin asked with a frown on his face as he tried to comprehend what the Director meant.“He left,” Mr. Percival repeated in a firmer voice, the meaning clear.“Oh God,” Zeda gasped, covering her mouth with her hand in shock.“Why did he leave, sir?” Carrie asked. “Did he give any reason?”“Personal reasons,” Mr. Percival said, his voice giving nothing away.“Personal reasons?” Sloan echoed, making it obvious it didn’t make any sense.“Well, isn’t that a bucket of bolts?” Torvin mumbled.“I think it’s a good decision on his part,” Vyr said, glancing at Zeda.Zeda bit her tongue immediately to stop herself from giving him a hars
