The Arcana Muriel Novels & Stories

Aila Coraline "For goodness’ sake, hit the target, Coraline!" Anastasia shouted in frustration after I missed the target for the fifth time. I couldn’t focus. My mind kept drifting back to the strange dream I had last night. It felt too real, like I had truly died and been brought back to life, resurrected somehow. It left me unsettled. "Sorry, okay? I just don’t feel well," I mumbled in defense. She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Excuses! The competition is in a week, and you’re still shooting like a decaying archer!"

Rita The air in the hidden wing of the library was thick with the scent of aged parchment and something deeper—magic, old and restless. Rita trailed her fingers along the spines of the grimoires, each one humming under her touch like a sleeping beast. "This one," Derek murmured, pulling a heavy tome bound in cracked leather. "It’s been calling to you since we walked in." Rita took it, the moment her skin met the cover, a shudder ran through her.

But it was the light that blinded me. A searing, lunar white was erupting from her palm, a pillar of radiance so pure it felt like a physical weight against my eyes. Opposite her, the nightmare had ended in the most grotesque way. Laura lay slumped against the far wall, the obsidian fur of the Arcanum melting away, receding back into pale, shivering skin. But there, etched into the center of Laura's forehead, was a matching mark a silver crescent that pulsed with a dying, rhythmic glow, synchronized perfectly with the light in Lyra’s hand. The Lycanis Arcanum, the god of the hunt, hadn't just stopped. It had chosen. It had bowed.

Arc I – The Possession Begins Chapter 3: Experiments in Madness Mira had always considered herself a woman of science—at least the kind of science that involved late-night online theories, anime logic, and overanalyzing fictional relationships. Now, apparently, she was also a pioneer in the field of soul physics. Step one: establish the parameters of the curse. Step two: avoid dying again. Step three: maybe, possibly, definitely not fall in love with the Duke. Easier said than done.

"I've already prepared the ritual circles. Hidden beneath the platforms where everyone will stand. They won't see them until it's too late." A knock on her door interrupted her. "Come in," she called. Hardy Armstrong entered, looking older than usual. "Luna, I need to speak with you about the memorial arrangements." "Of course, Elder. What concerns you?" Hardy closed the door carefully. "I found something in the archives. A portrait. Very old." Arlene's smile didn't waver. "Oh?" "It shows a young girl. Eight years old. Standing beside the Witch Queen during the purge." Hardy pulled out the portrait. The same one Lyanna had shown Cassian and Jasmina. "The girl's name was Morgana Blackthorne."

Crystalis clapped. "Her body has accepted the new gem," Len nodded. "And from what I can see, her soul is safe. Zukira is alive and well," Kali smiled. "Hey Kira," I waved. Delirus, who I hadn't noticed until he moved, tackled Kira. "Thank heaven you're gonna be okay!" "Meep!" Kira squeaked. Her hands found their way to her horns. "WHAT IS THIS! I'm a cow, bull, antelope?! WHAT AM I!" She flailed around, knocking Delirus over. "Oops."

From my calculations, not every account has been locked inside the game, but there are too many now. For the next hour, I paced around the room, unable to stay in one spot for long. Neither Luka nor Jake was able to access the server completely, as an outside force was blocking them. It was obvious Arcane Realm had been hacked, and their skills rivaled Luka’s and Jake’s combined effort.

He said. Season 2 ended here! Author note: Hello everyone!! Please continue to read ARCANUM because, there will be a side story which about Steven and Nicolai. See you on Season 3!!!

She was going to help Rori feel at home here and mend their new relationship if she could. Destiny made her way into the gallery and noticed that Muriel was hovering over a few bits of paper on the counter, and Destiny chewed her lip as she approached the spectrul. “So you guys got names now, hu?” she said and Muriel glanced up startled at the young troll and nodded slightly before bowing her head. Destiny sighed, “you can tell me yours… if you want,” Muriel looked up at Destiny and opened her mouth but closed it and faded from sight.

I already know what she’s about to say. She hesitates before answering, “It was either become a dark witch,” she says quietly, “or die.” The silence after her words is heavy. She lets the silence stretch for a heartbeat, then speaks again, her tone tinged with reverence. “Myralie was a rare witch. A seer. One day, she had a vision—she saw that the child she was carrying was the next Primarch Arcana. But seers aren’t only born among light witches. The dark witches have them too. And the birth of a Primarch Arcana concerns all witches. If Myralie could see it… then others probably did too.”
