Where are you? Then she saw a blur of movement up ahead. Hiding behind a thick tree, she watched what was going on. And there, in a small clearing, was Daniel standing and talking with Kael-the rogue leader of the Dark Moon pack. Sophia's stomach was roiling with anxiety at every word that fell.

They'll never see it coming."

Marco sighed, folding his arms. Next, the roll call took place, and when we were done, the Silvermoon pack enforcer cleared his throat loudly, getting our attention. “One last thing I forgot to mention,” He announced. “The sand has the same illusion as quicksand. So if you are not fast enough, you will get drawn into it. Once you are submerged into it about half your waist down, you will be awarded zero points.” “Now that’s what I’m talking about!” Marco exclaimed with a hand clap. “This is gonna be so fun.”

The Soaring Eagle Fort was built on a tall cliff, and Ambrose was surely dead from such a fall. Tenoch was all smiles, overwhelmed with joy. He had just killed the head of the Elysium Gate and was about to make a name for himself. At the same time, the sand pirates let out a sea of cheers. Ether strode over to the Tyrant Hammer, his gaze searing hot. "I can't believe I managed to kill Ambrose Darby and get my hands on the legendary Tyrant Hammer. Haha!" As the words rang through the air, the sand pirates whooped and cheered more.

It was only an inch, but it lifted. This was proof. My mouth fell open as I focused all my attention on the coin. It stayed right there in the air for over thirty seconds. The moment I took my attention away from the coin, it fell down hard on the table. I stared at the coin for a second in silence before bursting into laughter. I had never felt so proud and so happy before in my life. I had heard rumors of people awakening abilities on the same day the zombies became a thing, but I hadn’t believed it until the very end.

I can afford to die." I turned and walked back toward the "Magic" side of the line, leaving the only man who truly saw me standing in the dark. I had to go back. I had to play the part for a few more weeks. I had to make sure that when I "died," the hole I left in Roman’s life was large enough to swallow his entire empire.

The Middle Eastern sun beats down mercilessly, casting a golden glow on the endless sea of sand. In the heart of the land of oil, stands Al-Mal'un Palace, the headquarters of the Sand Wolf Alliance whose pillars are made of pure gold and surrounded by an oasis garden of eternal water.

I grabbed an extinguisher and rushed toward the gas tank still burning. Minutes later, the remaining flames were under control. When I reached Lisa, she had already fallen unconscious. Her cheeks and neck were covered with horrifying blisters from severe burns. Beside her, George was beyond recognition—his entire body charred black, only his chest rising and falling with the faintest trace of life. I wouldn't deny it—my heart went numb for a single, fleeting moment. All the resentment and tangled history between us flashed through my mind like fragments of an old silent film.

the girl in pigtails explained. "About three thousand people died in that town because of the sudden calamity. The military forces are trying to figure out their purpose for going that far as summoning a tidal wave, forcing the flow of nature against it's own. But we've heard...," she said and leaned towards Iktanne's ear and whispered, "... we've heard a few days ago in the library from the proctors that the Giants were collecting gold and souls from the normals. They said that there was an insignia left on the shores of the north... which might cause a great trouble because it links back here in the Academy and the Empire."

When we were close enough, I signaled to Ralph, Leon, and Selene to go around the area to make sure nothing or nobody was hiding in wait. A few minutes later, we heard Leon’s whistle signal which made us know that the coast was clear. I, Gio, and Igor advanced to the entrance of the tomb. The tomb came into view. It was a large stone structure sitting on at least half a plot. One could tell from the cracks on the stones and the gray color of the stones that the tomb had existed for almost a century. Ralph, Leon, and Selene hopped out from the back of the tomb and signaled for us to come out from the bushes we were cramped in.

He had tricked me, taken my hand in marriage, only to kill me, the last of my line. “I’ll kill you,” I screamed.

While my final moments were approaching, dying of thirst, the sun rising off the horizon, I cried harder, staining my coat with red tears for a monster had found me.
