Zub was only pretending not to know, the girl still answered, “Venus Samudera, Sir.” “Good question, Venus,” said Zub, and then turned his gaze to the others. “The symptoms are the same, but with one final warning added. When we over-exert talent, the symptoms, as said by Lira, will appear. Then, if things get worse, our body will send a final warning in the form of a painful jolt in the stomach. This final warning must be heeded, if not, you will die within the next five minutes.” Someone said, “But in those five minutes, the paramedics can hea—”

She immediately turned away from the pavilion after realizing that she was once again catching the attention of the other goddesses that went out of the pavilion and ran towards the direction heading to the Pond of Living. The Pond of Living is the portal that the Goddess of Goodwill uses to communicate well with the enchantresses. It was actually forbidden for young goddesses and even to some other full-grown goddesses as well but she was feeling extra lonely tonight. She was sure that the Goddess of Goodwill was still inside the pavilion, having fun with the others so no one else would know that she had sneaked in.

I just finished reading the last book when I started to write Descent for real! The title when this was still a draft was actually ‘Can’t Help Falling (In Love With You)’ because I was listening to the same song only the dark version at the time. But I got annoyed because I felt it was too freaking long to be a title. For a time, I settled calling the story "Fall from Grace" in my head but it still felt wrong... so when I searched for a synonym, the meaning of the word descent.. clicked; it feels like it perfectly sums up the entire plot.

“If there was a monster in the tunnels, how come no one’s ever heard of this?” “Well that’s partly to do with why the church is so rich.” “There really was treasure down there.” “Not the type of treasure you’d normally associate with underground passages, but my predecessor did find a repository of immense and quite unbelievable value.” “What was it?” “A vast store of scrolls.” “Scrolls?” “Written in a language that predates any human tongue, on the tanned hides of animals that have been extinct since the Cretaceous period.” “What? How is that even possible? How could he have known they were that old?”

But whoever made them buy these cars has a good taste in cars. I just randomly picked the keys from the console and pressed the unlock button. And that got me a black Veyron from all the black cars in here. Okay let's get it done with. There is a secret passage which I came across accidentally one day and that's my way out. There are no Cameras that point towards it nor anyone that knows it in the house for now. The door sensed the car and immediately the door opened.

"That must have been disturbing for all of you." "What is he talking about?" queried Sanders, one hand clasped to his head from feeling dizzy, to his comrades. "Space jump - it is the stuff of science fiction stories. I don't know if he meant the same," quipped Phil. "Welcome, Zirconsa mer Atlantis," exclaimed Vondra in her alien language. "It is quite an honor to receive you here today." She made a small bowing gesture. "Our apologies for that skirmish on the ship the other day, Princess. Apologies if you feel we have been treating you disrespectfully. After everything, you are here now."

“I love that you get to be my twin sweetheart, but you have to come out of this shell you have built. You are pushing mum and I away.” “I am so not doing that and eww, don’t get all lovey-dovey on me.” She said and pushed Cassandra to the floor which made everyone laugh. “Cassie, I have told you to stop doing that, Mr. Stonewall has been good to us but it doesn’t mean we get to take advantage of his charity” Alice said in worry.

But do not be fooled, it's just formalities. She entered the car. The driver asked her, "Young Mistress, where are we going to?" "Take me to Shaw Corporations, I have to give the Young Master something." Kelsa replied. Thirty minutes later, they arrived in front of a very huge 50 storey building. It was located in the urban area and it looked like a diamond castle. Kelsa began feeling extremely nervous. She has been to her Father's company before, but this company was five times bigger in comparison.

Leaning in, I whispered to her, "It's not like it's your money. Go ahead and splurge. It's on your boss." Rhea hesitated but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation. The items she picked, though few, ended up being more expensive than everything she had selected for me combined. I said nothing throughout the checkout process. After all, Jack was the one footing the bill. I wanted him to see Rhea's greed firsthand. Once the mission was complete, I pretended to look exhausted. "Darling, I'm tired. Can we go home now?" Jack nodded with a quiet grunt, then turned to Rhea. "Ms. Carhill, you should head home early too."

Allison’s sharp voice rang in my ears. “Eric, are you crazy? How dare you push him in front of everyone?” As she spoke, Allison hurried over to pull Aaron out of the fountain, but he floundered in the icy water for quite a while without getting up. It was winter, and the fountain water was freezing. Aaron sneezed several times, his carefully styled hair now soaked and disheveled. He looked utterly miserable. Some colleagues even pulled out their phones and started taking pictures.
