Just then, another boy chimed in, "He's not lying, Ms. Gibson. Liam told us. He said that Celeste's mom stole his dad and broke up his family. He said that Celeste and her mom got kicked out and were sent to Homewrecker Country." James frowned with displeasure, and his expression turned frighteningly grim. He looked at the two children and asked, "What else did Liam say?" "Liam said Celeste is a bastard child. He would always snatch her things and tell her to get lost. He kept saying his Daddy only loves him," the young boy answered eagerly. Homewrecker? Bastard child? James felt a pang in his heart when he heard that. A pain he had never known surged through him instantly.

"They live among us Walk-in our dreams And see right through Our deepest desires They hear our thoughts. And prey on our fears Their soft voices Echo in our minds with promises of forever Darkness falls They heed the call of thirst The night belongs to them Eyes burn red with hunger It's our blood they crave and it's our bloodline They wish to enslave When the birth of a new day Peaks over the horizon And our shadows rise to meet them They retreat to their sanctums And seek solace in dark places In the sun, we find comfort In the light, they disappear They are The Forsaken..." Cadence said the words out loud over and over, trying to make sense of them. After a while, though, she stopped tryi

"Could she be? No! She's not, I should stop imagining things. It's better I focus on what brought me here." Xavier placed down the scroll as he went through the book on the shelves. He found the book he was looking for, it was tagged,HISTORY OF THE FIRST REALM. He was glad at first, but when he was going through the book, he found out there was nothing important. The book only talked about the people and the king's who had ruled the first realm, there was nothing about the war or the dark realm." "Maybe I can find it in war books," he picked up another book to go through but he ended up in disappointment.

"This is the Realm of The Broken Stars. This is where all the mighty people from the river of time trained and honed their swords to the extreme." Danial froze, his brain barely registering what he had just heard. Realm of The Broken Stars? The river of time? His thoughts swirled in a mix of awe and disbelief. This place, barren and desolate, with crumbling dark structures scattered under a sky teeming with stars, was where legendary figures had trained. Ancient ruins lay half-buried in the ground—once proud monuments, now reduced to forgotten shadows. He could almost hear the echoes of their battles, whispering in the still air.

I never even noticed that I'd dislocated or broken at least half of all my fingers. I couldn't afford to fall down the steps. If I did, I would have to climb all the way back up again. Finnegan didn't even bat an eye. He just glared at me coldly, giving me a look, as if chiding me for trying to act pitiful with him to gain his sympathy. Tears streamed down my face. I admitted defeat and started climbing back up again. "I was wrong… I was wrong…" The sound of the gong was loud and crisp at the top of the mountain. The chapel yard was quiet, and the multiple statues there finally peeked out at me without revealing themselves completely.

Not Hell. Not humanity. Not even the prison beyond existence. And somewhere beyond the boundaries of the realms, in that place where there was no life and no death... something moved. For the first time in thousands of years. Something opened its eyes. And somewhere in the human realm, beneath a sky that had begun to darken with unnatural storms, a crack appeared where no crack should have been. And while the world was busy with rumors of Lucas and his lover... The first of the Forgotten had returned. Then another.

--- The Council assembled within minutes. Orionis stood at the center of the chamber while Aurel, Astra, Caelum, Seraphine, Nerina, Elara, Kael, Chloe, Lucien, and Wesley surrounded the table. Liam placed every known celestial map before them. "We have records of nine realms." "The Four Kingdoms." "Elarion." "The Celestial Realm." "The Shadow Realm." "The Mirror Realm." "The Wild Realm." "The Silent Realm." "The Unwritten Realm." "And the First World."

Draynon nodded and opened the book. He leafed through the book until he found the chapter that he was looking for. “Here we go. Now this was roughly 120 years ago, or four generations. It’s not so much a history book, but written similar to a novel to make the facts easier for the reader to remember, rather than just bombarding them with endless seeming names and numbers.” He coughed once to clear his throat and began reading from the book.

Gwen said with a bit of a serious expression on her face. It is then that Zed realize that what they are going to talk about will be serious based from their reactions alone. “To tell you the truth Zed, we are not from this land. We are from Bruman, we are here to recruit the people that are persecuted by the people last time. Gwen is here to fetch me and return to our land. We only delayed our plan because we want to train you. And this is the last time that we are going to see each other. We hope that you use what you have learned from us to serve your kingdom okay?” a tear drop from Zed’s eye when he realize that I was farewell.

"If the void is real, then there might be one way. But it’s dangerous, more dangerous than anything we’ve faced. We would have to enter the Forgotten Realm itself." The decision was made, though it weighed heavily on them all. If the void was arousing, they had no choice but to go up against it before it destroyed their world. With Mariam's direction, they set out for the entrance to the Forgotten Realm, a place covered up within the farthest reaches of the land, where the shroud between universes was most slender. The journey was long and unsafe, taking them through perilous landscapes untouched by the war with the abyss. The more they journeyed, the more the air appeared to thicken with ha
