Chapter One Mystic Novels & Stories

ALICE POV He glanced over to me. I couldn’t help but notice how his blue eyes seemed to pierce into my soul. He was my one-night stand! As if he could hear my thoughts, his eyes glazed over me all of a sudden and I scurried away from him. Thud! Thud! Thud! I could hear my heart beating fast. He grabbed my arm, turning me around to look at me. He stared at me intensely and said “I remember you, you are the girl from the bar. I know you remember me so don’t try denying” he said in a stern voice.

"Yes, that's her, the greatest demon in Saffronesia!" Chad reasoned that since the Mystic Archive had formed, it could not simply disappear. Perhaps his trip to Haron City would bring him many benefits. Chad suddenly felt Miss Sixth's figure blurred as if he were about to leave the state of enlightenment.

"What are you doing?" Chad sensed something was wrong and noticed Jasmine lying on him.

"A prime version. The original from which all others are created." Hours seemed to pass as they searched. Books flew open, scrolls unrolled themselves, artifacts hummed with potential knowledge. Isla found herself moving with an instinct she didn't fully understand—reaching for certain volumes, sensing which might hold the key. It was Ken who finally found the crucial piece of information. A small, leather-bound journal tucked behind a series of massive tomes. "Here," he said, his finger tracing a passage. "The Mystic's power comes from a central nexus point—a core essence that anchors all the duplicates."

"Ah, now that... that is a different request entirely. And it comes with a much higher price." I hesitated, but only for a second. "I don't care," I whispered. "Whatever it takes. Just tell me what I have to do." The fog thickened, wrapping around me like a living thing. And then, she spoke the words that would change everything. "Very well, Lisa Graham. But be warned, once you take this path, there is no turning back." I barely hesitated. "Tell me." The mystic laughed softly, the sound curling through the thick fog like a snake slithering around my throat. "You are desperate," she mused, as if tasting the weight of my emotions. "Desperation is a powerful thing. It makes people willing to pa

And with that she heads to the bar, and I head to the outer doors. Standing out in the courtyard I look up to the sky, it's remarkably clear tonight and the moon is so bright, it lights everything in a white glow. It's light enough to see but still dark, and I wonder, is this a reflection of the true me? Am I really a good person or am I, just like ‘him’? I banish the thought; I can't let it be a possibility. Taking a deep breath, I prepare to head back in, when I feel that strange tingle creeping up my back again. I turn to find Lilli watching me from inside the doors.

The bat was just about to lung from the tree at his victim when a nearby stone hit the branch it was standing on, startling it and scaring it away. Daniel blinked and shook his head as he came back to reality. “Okay” he said, surprised at his sudden change in location. “ What the hell just happened?” A few feet away from the tree previously occupied by the bat, a figure stood by. The figure wore a dark hood and dark jeans and watched as the bat flew away. “ No one gets the boy. Not while I am alive” the figure muttered darkly before leaving the area. …………………………………………………………………………… “And that is all on supernatural mythologies” The voice of the history lecturer, Mr akingbade concluded. “If ther

Mystic Grove Academy stood at the top of a hill, made of grey stone that looked like it had been there for centuries. Ivy crawled up the walls, windows glowed warm gold even though it was still early morning, and towers rose up into the sky like something out of a fairy tale. But there was something else about it ….a weight in the air, like the whole place was holding secrets deep in its foundations.

“Y-you…!” Ana grinned and let out a sigh, her appetite diminishing even further. “Well, allow me to introduce myself,” Ana said, extending her hand towards them and gently removing the mask that concealed her face. “I am Ana Mystica, and I’ve returned.” Mateo's and Chloe's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at the figure standing before them. It was the person they believed to be long gone, the person they thought was dead. “N-no way… I-It can’t be…”

Jenny’s eyes widened when she realized I was conscious. “Freda, what happened? You scared me,” she breathed. It was the first time she’d ever sounded like she cared. Was she afraid something would happen to her personal maid? My heartbeat thudded unevenly. The sharp pain melted into a strange tingling. I pushed her hand away and lifted mine from my thigh.
