“It is not the enemy that lurks outside your home that you should fear but the enemy that you dine and share a home with…” ~ Lucas Chaos An hour later, Chaos and her family made their way to Alpha River’s house and towards the conference room. Kiara was still smiling sweetly whiles the twins and their mother wore blank looks on their faces. As for Chaos, the look on her face was zero to none. Thanks to her new look, she looked scary and somewhat dead and funnily enough, that was exactly how she felt inside.

"Magic isn't a weapon. It’s the highest form of light. It’s the way the universe breathes. This book is for the child who sees a forest spirit and doesn't run, but asks what color its song is." The book became an overnight global phenomenon. It contained high-definition "Resonant-Prints" of the Deep-Veil, the bioluminescent architecture of the Sylvan-Kin, and the hauntingly beautiful geometry of the Alpha-Prime’s transformation. It gave the public a vocabulary for wonder. People weren't just accepting the supernatural; they were decorating their homes with its aesthetics. Emma had done more than publish a book; she had given the "Co-Existence" a soul. She had turned the "Goddess" and the "Gu

The moment she crosses the threshold and her feet met the cool, welcoming touch of her bedroom floor, she allows herself to sink onto her bed, the cushions yielding to her weight. With a deep sense of purpose, she extends her hand towards the book nestled on her bed, cradling it tenderly. Astrid could scarcely contain her curiosity, her fingers quivering with the exhilaration of the adventure awaiting her. As she opened the book, she was instantly transported into a world as captivating as the printed pages itself, where words spun tales of Supernatural beings beyond her wildest imagination. The book unveiled a hidden realm, one inhabited by nine extraordinary entities, each with its own uni

"Not the same kind you have. You have movies and dramas. We don't have that much entertainment where I came from," For a moment, the alien looked a little sad. "The entertainment here is crap. Nothing to be envious about," I told him. "Nothing entertaining ever happens where I came from, so while I'm here and they haven't found me yet, I am going to enjoy the hell out of your planet, Earthling." his eyes lit up and he looked like a little kid looking forward for an adventure. Wait, who is "they" and why are "they" looking for Cy?

CHAPTER 33 Something New On the journey to the great mountain of Abaddon, as a distant land of no return, a house of dust where the dead dwell without distinction of rank or merit. Skulls ever flowing freely like the fresh water of a waterfall. The eery unexplainable atmosphere of red clouds, thunders and very humid temperature was one no possible human could survive in. Sight zoomed in on who was by the steep side of the mountain, catching a glimpse, three hundred and sixty around, a card was seen at the top, floating freely and a cave bridge leading to another corner of the world Abaddon.

The wizard’s screams echoed behind us, closer again, furious and desperate. We shot through the opening… And burst into the open air. Leah collapsed immediately. She hit the ground panting, ribs heaving, limbs shaking from exhaustion. It’s over, I thought as I felt the air getting lighter and cleaner. I could smell life… Other people. Not just damp stone and rot. It’s over, I thought. Finally, it’s over. Although Abby’s father had caused mine to suffer, I couldn’t hold it against her. Maybe me getting a second chance in her body was the universe’s strange apology.

Tenin's voice rang from behind Wilbur, "You finally made it out of there. I guess you've succeeded." "Senior Tenin!" Wilbur whipped around to look at Tenin, who smiled. "Congratulations on passing the magical tower's test, Wilbur. You've proven yourself to be worthy enough to take care of the dangers Earth shall face. It's fate." "Earth…" Wilbur mumbled to himself before asking, "Senior Tenin, can I know how things are on Earth? Can I really save it?" Tenin smiled wordlessly, raising a hand to gently swipe at the air in front of him. A screen appeared, and Wilbur could see on it that nine abnormal formations had appeared on Earth.

Because they are afraid that if they bump with her again, they might end up with their heads flying. Celestin clenched her fists and strode directly to the forbidden woods, not caring even if someone sees her. Fortunately for her, no one was around the forest every time since people are scared of the rumors surrounding it. And so, when she reached the deepest part of the forest, the blue fire rapidly surrounded the whole place. It brightened the forest that had recently been shrouded by the dreadful darkness It was raging as if the fire was resentful, and it wants to eat everything alive.

The cheekbone lady let out a deep sigh her straight black hair being let down from a tight ponytail while she shakes her head in dissaprovement. "We will have to discuss this later then Elizabeth" she said harshly causing me to feel shocked at her sudden behavior change. "Anyway" she said looking back at me "this is a school for supernatural children" she said placing a hand on my shoulder "you'll learn everything you need here" she finished smiling softly. "Supernatural?" I questioned. Vera looked confused and looked over to Elizabeth "she doesn't know anything" Elizabeth whispered with her head down avoiding eye contact. "Oh" Vera said raising an eyebrow while staring at me "well that make

“There are also creepier crawly bugs on this side of the Atlantic, at least compared to Jo’burg—Wyoming has swarms of flying critters. Do you miss South Africa?” Like Lizzy, Abby was an American but spent a good chunk of her young life in Southern Africa. “Sometimes,” Abby admitted. “But Utah is beautiful. Our house is surrounded by mountains and majestic views, although I need to get used to the snowy winters.” Lizzy handed the frosted glass to her exhausted friend before getting situated on the opposite sofa. Abby chatted about giving birth in the autumn, Lizzy half listened, instead gazing down at her amputation. The times it didn’t hurt, when she wasn’t looking at her hand, were the mome
