The room looked neatly arranged except for the syringe that seemed like an old, used one. Inside it still showed traces of something like dirt—almost as if a small kid had tampered with it, making it look messy after using it.In truth, this was a space Adrian came to sometimes when he wanted to make new substances that he’d need to treat people. On the ground could also be seen some leaves and a few wooden sticks that looked strange.Peter knew that all these things were old methods of treatment and possibly what Adrian used to make those strange things—almost like invisible needles—that once thrown at a target, made them freeze in their spot as if a spell had been cast on them. Peter thought about this and didn’t seem surprised at anything anymore. He already knew Adrian wasn’t from their regular world, and it wasn’t wrong of him to think so, since Adrian had earlier during dinner explained that he’d be heading back to his homeland.“Peter, here’s something for you,” Adrian said.Lo

From the way Kaelithar sounded, it happened to hit Seralyth as a surprise. She wasn’t sure what he wanted to talk about earlier when he suddenly called for her and asked if he could privately speak with her about something, and she could only be so eager to know whatever was on his mind.At first, Kaelithar had been giving some strange signals that she didn’t quite understand, and he was clearly trying to catch her attention. She noticed all this but chose to ignore it. So, when he invited her for a talk, she just had a feeling that maybe he might want to make some kind of confession to her.Oh, am I crazy for thinking he might have picked a liking to me before? Seralyth thought as she realized that it was not the case at all.What made it more amusing to Seralyth after hearing Kaelithar’s words was that it sounded like he was up to something else entirely—as though he was trying to know what her mind was about the situation.But Seralyth wasn’t stupid not to know that Kaelithar had p

Inside Seralyth’s mind, everything was blank — an endless, quiet void. She wasn’t sure what was happening, but for some reason, she felt calmer than usual. Her trembling hands were still, and it felt as though her whole body had been given a calming potion that soothed her nerves. Yet what struck her most about this strange state was that there was no fear — not even a shadow of it. And for Seralyth, that was unusual. In truth, she had always dreaded the night. Sleep never came easily to her; she envied those who could simply close their eyes and drift away. She hated how night returned every day, how its darkness seemed to press against her chest until she could hardly breathe. Most nights, she relied on sleeping pills just to escape the weight of her own memories. Whenever she accidentally fell asleep without them, the same image haunted her — her parents. Her mother and father, their faces twisted in fear as they begged for mercy, and she, a small child, hidden inside the wa

“You see, your physical skills or strength might be great, but if your mind is weak, you’re more likely to be just a tough-looking person who doesn’t have as much strength as their look says about them,” Adrian said. “It comes down to one’s mind — that determines how strong a person really is. Some people only act tough out of fear, and when their fear finally gets to them one day, it breaks them down completely. But you see, in Amanda’s case, it’s her pain that strengthens her heart. She lets that pain she isn’t afraid to feel become the source of her strength, and that’s why it’s easy for her to tap into her Kareth ability.” Adrian continued explaining this to Seralyth, who seemed quite confused about how Amanda was able to activate such an incredible amount of Kareth ability. A person does not only need physical training — if the mind is still weak, then no matter the training, it’d be more like experience rather than something that shows much difference or impact in their abilit

A few years ago, Jacob had finished high school and announced that he wanted to go abroad to further his education.At first, Mr. Xander said he’d be studying accounting because he needed him to take that role in the family business he was running. The Xanders’ museum was the family’s legacy, and all of Mr. Xander’s siblings were shareholders in the business. He had also planned on handing over his position to his son one day.But just a few moments before it was time for Jacob to enter the school, he suddenly began acting reluctant. His mother noticed his reaction and questioned him.He told her that his intention was to study medicine rather than accounting. After he said this, his mother embraced him and said, “You aren’t forced to do anything if it’s not what you want. You could just talk about it. We won’t ask you to do something just to make us happy, okay?” she said with a reassuring smile, even though deep down she was unsure of his real reaso
