CHLOE and Jared appeared inside the Rubi Tower. Chloe was still holding Jared's hand, her head was spinning, her eyes saw doubles.The poor young woman ripped her hand away from Jared's hold and went to the corner of the hallway and there she vomited. Jared went to her side and rubbed her back, cursing to himself."Are you okay?" he asked worriedly."Go away," Chloe groaned. "I might slap you hard for not warning me."Jared couldn't help laughing softly. Chloe stopped and turned her head to him. The young man tried to keep his straight face but he couldn't handle it anymore. Chloe just shook her head and laughed along with him.After a few moments, they went silent and were walking down the hallway towards their first class with Master Hunn."Why did you leave?" Jared asked.Chloe hummed and observed the intricate design of every part of the hallway. Her sight was very different from before. She knew because she once had a normal eyes

PING! PING! PING!Several clanks of metal against metal could be heard everywhere in the second mainland, Markus. There were also shouts from several men, some were calling out for their companions.The North of Markus City, the capital city of its namesake, was filled with busy blacksmiths coming to and from their houses. Each house was surrounded by torches, fire licking against the warm air.The largest tribe of the North Markus was the Travis Tribe. Its residence stretched from the back of the Nishihara Fortress to the boundary of Vestia and Markus.At the center of the residence lies the main branch's house, the family of the Tribe Leader. A young man walked along the hallway of the house. He was wearing a casual black pants and white plain shirt. His lean build was not intimidating but he was considered a handsome man with sex appeal. Every woman he came across in the hallway bowed to him.He only stopped walking when he came face-to-face with a l

THE Dark Forest stretched from the center of Vestia where it separated the Krystalline Palace and the Krystalline Academy towards the North, and then bended from North to the East until it made a full turn to the eastern boundaries of the land of Markus and Vestia.The forest lived by its namesake. Nothing can be seen when one stepped into it. There were Black Shaols, terrifying shadowy creatures of their archnemesis. They were trapped by the Knights of Shaula there during the last great war against the Illinor.No one knew what will happen if they stepped inside the forest. Maybe there were brave enough to enter but none were able to come back to tell their tales.Jucel Greyn was standing just at the entrance of the Dark Forest that divided the Krystalline Academy and the Agāte Tower. She snuck into the academy at night, knowing that there will be no student or even teachers staying at the towers at this time. With her complete ability over the wind, she had no tr

FRUSTRATION and disbelief.Those two were the most prominent emotion Chloe felt right now. She sat at one of the branches in Graire Province, not far from her home which she shared with the Seven Geniuses and Jucel. Her head was pounding and her teeth were clenching."Your presence is too overwhelming for the students in Krystalline Academy. The Headmaster didn't want to make this academy a chaotic school."Chloe made a 'tsk' noise through her clenched teeth and heavily leaned her back on the trunk. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.That was not surprising at all. She should have foreseen it. The queen obviously couldn't hurt her directly. But she can make others kill her."Tss, lliōde," Chloe cursed as she jumped from the branch she was sitting on.The young brunette landed her feet on the ground smoothly. She froze when she heard a chuckle."Well, well, well... Look who's here," a brusque voice startled her.Chloe turned. T

JARED appeared right outside their house. Clive and Zabdiel raced to the corner and vomited. Despite the nausea, Chloe didn't waste time and ran towards the door.The windows were open so light poured inside. Laughter was heard around the house. She couldn't believe her eyes.The laughter stopped when Chloe walked in. The young woman couldn't keep her eyes away from the figure that stood confidently beside Neptos as they talked. His blonde hair that seemed to light up the whole room like the sun, and his calm blue eyes that looked like the sky in the morning. Chloe stared at him with wide eyes."Lu...Lu-chi," she gasped.Lucian turned to her and spread his arms. Chloe ran to him and threw herself at her older brother. They lost their balance and landed on the sofa where Kieran was sitting but Chloe didn't want to pull away. She buried her face on Lucian's chest while she clung on his neck, as if she would lose him if she released her hold on him. She's crying
