Sebastian sat at the last corner of Anne's Coffee shop, surrounded by the soothing sounds of soft jazz music as he took a sip from the coffee in front of him. The atmosphere was intimate, with soft lighting and comfortable seating, and everyone around him, except for himself, was seated in pairs, dressed nicely as if on a date. Sebastian checked his watch; it was 5 pm now, and Lena still hadn't arrived. He had been sitting there for an hour, waiting for her so they could discuss the crime scene in the mine and the black fog hovering around Ryder's body. But Lena still hadn't shown up yet. Had she forgotten about their meeting? Or had something come up, and she had decided to cancel at the last minute? Sebastian wondered, but quickly pushed the thoughts away. Knowing Lena, she would do anything to get to the bottom of this case, even if it meant going to hell and back. Sebastian thought with a smile as he took a journey down memory lane. Oh, how long had it been since they'd last see

"What the hell are you?" Jasper asked with a serious face, and Mason couldn't help but take a big gulp. "What... what are you talking about, man? You're freaking me out!" Mason stuttered, walking towards the window with a confused look on his face. What was Jasper talking about, and why was he suddenly asking him that? Was this about what happened at the mine? Or rather, did he figure out what he was? He thought and ran his fingers through his hair. This was all too soon, and he didn't even know what to make of it."Stop acting dumb, man, you know exactly what I mean," Jasper said, standing up as well. "You told me you didn't know what your ability was and how it worked, but it turned out you weren't being completely honest with me. I mean, how on earth did you manage to defeat Ryder? And what happened to you back at the mine? Why did you suddenly go berserk and start attacking us?" Jasper snapped, with anger all over his face. Now that they were a team, he didn't want Mason to hide a

Jasper walked down the dimly lit corridor, his eyes glazed over and his mouth slightly ajar. He had just woken up from a deep slumber and was headed towards his room to take a shower. He had gotten back hours ago, and had immediately gone to sleep on the couch after eating the only thing his eyes could lay on: a grilled cheese sandwich. Now he was awake and felt more alive than ever. As he shuffled towards his room, he noticed the door to his uncle's study was slightly ajar, and stopped. "Is he home?" he wondered aloud, pushing the door open and hoping to find him inside. But the room was empty, the only signs of life a few scattered books and an open window that let in a chill breeze. Jasper let out a frustrated sigh. So much for his uncle's supposed retirement. He was barely around, and only came back in the late hours after midnight. Sometimes he returned covered in dirt, other times with bloodstains on his clothes. And then he would head out early the next day, repeating the same

[Shop]Mason summoned the shop tab, and different options appeared. He tapped on the weapons tab, and a few weapons appeared before him. Some were blurred out, and Mason figured he had to reach the next level before he could unlock them. There were different weapons here, such as gauntlets, swords, daggers, maces, and all other kinds of weapons. Mason debated on which one to choose and finally chose the gauntlets. The reason he chose them was that they fit his fighting style better. He had found out while fighting the guards at Umbra that he loved close combat, which meant the gauntlets were the best for him.[Basic Gauntlets - 70 coins to purchase][Intermediate Gauntlets - 120 coins to purchase][Advanced Gauntlets - 200 coins to purchase][Reach Level 20 to unlock][Reach Level 20 to unlock]The basic gauntlets cost 70 coins to purchase, while the remaining two cost 120 coins and 200 coins, respectively. The rest were blurred out and couldn't be purchased. Mason looked at his avail

Sabrina paced down the living room, anxious, nervous, and worried. Five days had passed since Mason had left the house, and although she had found a note lying on his bed indicating that he had gone on a friend's trip with Caleb, Sabrina was still worried. She smelled something fishy. Mason was not the type to be gone for so long, and he most especially did not miss school. With the news going on about the murder of the Umbra faction, she couldn't help but be worried. Besides, Caleb was just a new friend he had made days ago, so how could he be gone with him for so long? Or had they gotten that close already?"Relax, Sabrina. Mason is no longer a kid. He's eighteen now, so he will be back okay?" Aunt Harper said from where she sat, and Sabrina stopped walking. "How can you say that, Aunt Harper? Aren't you even a little bit worried about him?" She snapped and rolled her eyes. "According to my experience, boys tend to act like that when they get to that age. So, he's going to be fine,

That same dayAt 8amIt was morning, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Mason, Jasper, and Luke could be seen emerging out of a rock far from the mine, their faces smeared with dirt and their clothes stained. They had spent hours inside the rocks, navigating which way to go and which way led to the outside. Jasper had taken them through the tunnel, but he didn't know which way to go. They had gotten lost in the tunnels and spent hours finding their way out. Eventually, they had stopped to get some rest, as they were tired and exhausted from the fight with Umbra. As they stepped foot into the light, Luke couldn't help but collapse on the floor, breathing heavily. "Remind me never to walk into any secret tunnel with you," he said with a laugh, exhausted from the long walk. "You're welcome," Jasper said with a smile as he also collapsed on the ground next to him. "Well, it beats being caught by the police if you ask me. My aunt will have been worried if she saw me on TV with
