Chapter 52As Keratin walked back with the food, an emptiness assailed him. He quickened his steps towards his cabin but decided to take a detour. He felt a tug of emotions so rife, it felt like he was being pulled in two directions. One part of him felt like going to check on Storm, while the other part roared at him to check on Germaine.He decided to check on Storm first since he had to pass his cabin to get to his. On his way there, he passed Kenki's cabin, wondering why the door was slightly ajar. He unknowingly peeped in and saw Kenki lying on the bed but he sensed the presence of someone else as well.He stood at the door, and after only a second's hesitation, pushed it open and walked in. He did not have long to find out that the person standing and staring out through the port hole was none other than Storm. As he moved deeper into the cabin, he glanced at Kenki, whose eyes were open but unseeing.

Chapter 54Distorted sunlight danced on the tops of the waves, and the water felt warm against Germaine's skin. It would have been peaceful to her except for the fact that she knew she was going to die.But then, just as her lungs felt like they would bust, a dark figure came crashing through the waves, blocking out the sunlight, and headed straight for her. She would have screamed if she had been above sea level, or not on the briskly of losing consciousness.From the film of water above her, hands reached down and tugged her by her dress and she crashed against a warm, hard chest.Everything became blurry thereafter.The next thing she knew, she was bombarded by the sounds of people yelling. It felt like she was still underwater, and could hardly breathe. She came to for a few minutes because she suddenly felt a rush of hot air all around her, pressing into her, and then she passed out.Germaine did not k

Chapter 56An outlaw by Tirria standards.It was difficult to process this new piece of information. It was wayy too raw and heavy for Germaine to take in. It rankled her nerves. She turned her gaze from the books littered on the floor, and to the black mage who was already staring at her. The look he gave her was one fraught with wariness.If this situation wasn't so weird, she would have belted out a laugh, but even at that, the joke would have been on her. She put up her hand, more to ground herself than to emphasize her words. "You need to give me some more explanations because this is difficult for me to wrap my head around."The mage nodded sympathetically. "Of course, I'll try to break it down into small pieces so you can better understand." He shifted on the couch trying to get more comfortable before he continued. "The void is a place fraught with magic, existing out of nothing. Yes," he nodded. "It

Chapter 58As Germaine opened the tome, the first thing she saw were images. They were not images so much as stick figures crudely drawn but as her eyes zoned in on them, she felt her heart quicken considerably. Three figures were standing in different postures - a female, and two males. She stared at the female who had brown hair in the exact shade as hers, but what drew her more were the eyes. The stick figure eyes were in her exact replica - light brown and oval-shaped.She looked at the other two figures beside the female one, and her eyes widened. How was this possible? If she didn't know better, she would have said this was an eerie drawing of herself, Storm, and Keratin. She felt a presence beside her and looked up to see Ennie staring at her with something closely resembling awe. "It is you, my lady." She breathed out reverently.Germaine watched in rising confusion as the vampire slayer bowed befo

Chapter 60Germaine's brows pinched together as she peered at the tome. The wordings were illegible and in a language she could not understand. She had a hard time trying to decode what they meant. As a matter of fact, she had a hard time trying to understand what everything she had read and seen, meant.According to the book, the savior, which was supposed to be her, had immense powers that could single-handedly finish off Rage and all his vampires, and even the evil Mages that would eventually side with him. She was so powerful that she was a storehouse of power. She was also a visionary, which meant she could see into the future.She looked up from the tome and realized she had been reading the same sentence for a while now and was not getting anywhere. It was time to call it a night. She rubbed her eyes, wincing because it felt like sand was trapped inside them. She cranked her neck left and right, tryin
