IT was not long after Lucian left her when Jucel was disturbed from her reading spree by another presence. The shadow blocked the light coming from the large arched windows and so she couldn't continue reading.Frowning, Jucel looked up only to drop her jaw ever so slightly. The shadow was awfully familiar. Tall with messed up hair and those moonlight silver eyes that seemed to shine in the dark. "Sean Olaire."The shadow moved away and Jucel looked down as her eyes adjusted to the light. Sean Olaire sat in front of her. His eyes crinkled and the corners of his mouth were upturned into a charming smile that suited his boyish face. He had one silver trident earring glinting on his left ear."I never saw you again. I thought I encountered a Fēyin that night," he said. Fēyin, as what Jucel read from the books of Demetrius, was the spirit of the dead Kryst. Usually they were associated with bad omen.Jucel neither smiled nor frown at his presence. She just looked at him blankly. "That woul

"WHAT a pair up! The Jade and Dog Fur are both stronger but Jade was smaller! Who will be going down today?" a nasal tone of a male voice announced."Are you sure they're here, Red?" Lucian asked in his worried tone as they moved from every vacant aisle they could squeeze into. Zabdiel, Barbie, Blaise, Kieran, Jared, Lucian and Clive were cramming their way into the crowd."I am sure of it," Jared spat, almost angrily.Chloe, Jucel and Neptos had been missing for two months and they had been looking for the trio since then. The last time they saw each other was when Chloe gave Lucian the book of Master Hunn's writing and when Jucel asked him if she could borrow the book for a while. After two days, they disappeared.Lucian was becoming worrier every day. He would often skip his classes so he could look for Chloe and Jucel. But yesterday, Jared came home with his face alarmed. According to the young man, who didn't even bothered to use his teleportation, he sp

NEPTOS Rein had them live in Daki's disguised souvenir shop. His house behind the souvenir shop was invisible to the unwanted guests. As soon as the trio reached the store, a cloak of invisibility seemed to lift up and revealed a two-storey house."Wow," Chloe said in utter amazement. "Lord Daki's good at hiding." Jucel nodded in agreement.Neptos smiled at her compliment. "He is the best at camouflage. Even the Knights couldn't find him once he's gone."They went inside the souvenir store where Daki was already at the counter, waiting for them."Are you sure you're doing this?" Daki asked as he led them through the back door.Chloe knew she was the one he was talking to but she didn't bother to answer him. I'm not sure, she wanted to say. I didn't agree to this.Jucel and Chloe shared one room upstairs while Neptos had his own downstairs. As soon as they closed the door behind them, Jucel spoke up."Are you okay, Chloe?"The said woma

PRINCE Ciaran had been in the town of Helengrein, Deirdre. But he never had the luxury of staying around without any business there. Now, he decided to visit the town with his subordinates for a reason.He looked up at the sky that was bluer than before as he stood at the garden at the side of the Krystalline Palace. Due to his position as the Særi ust Trūx, he didn't had time to talk to Chloe Liu, which turned out to be a Rein.He wanted to see her so much. But he couldn't bring himself to face her. He felt so much guilt, knowing that it was his mother's doing why her tribe was gone and forgotten.His gaze went down from the sky and stopped at the woman standing not far from him. Her hair was elegantly kept in a braided bun which made her dark eyes shine under the light of the sun even more. Her poise was that of surety and regal. There's nothing anyone could say about this woman. He could see Zillah in her.But he knew that behind this regal poise and gentl

THE night outside was chilly and cold in Deirdre. It was like an ice biting against one's skin. In the day, it remained warm and sunny. The air was fresh and as one could inhale without the smell of waxes and business apparels. Deirdre had that smell of trees, sea, and earth. Compared to Vestia which had an unpredictable weather, Deirdre felt refreshing.Ciaran and his men were at the banquet for dinner with Hunter Lornn and Eric Travis. The room was closed down, with only the six of them sitting on a cushion and their food in front of them."Why don't you stay in for the night, Your... I mean, Young Master?" Eric asked, catching himself from referring Ciaran to his entitlement. Hunter and Eric knew that Ciaran was taking advantage of his hidden status and so, they went along with it.The prince smiled gratefully. Although they were alone and locked down, they still prefer to call him in a noble's title. "The journey to Vestia is indeed far enough. I shall take you
