The golden flames burst out of the gold coloured vein closest to Kyle’s hand. He felt a sting on the back of his hand before it went numb completely for a few seconds. A golden marking appeared on his skin, glowing golden just like the embers within the Evertree.‘Independent Action: Link Activated’Immediately, he felt his draining life force restored. The green dome that had formed around the entire plateau began to gain a golden hue as the Evertree’s power filled him, replacing his lost life force with its own.His eyes hurt as the tree shaped mark on the back of his hand glowed.“Well…” Vis pursed her lips. “I guess this is an acceptable solution.”“Shut up.” Kyle grunted as he covered his eyes. Everything was so bright – the golden hue of the Evertree seemed to cover the plateau in its entirety.“You’re mean.” Vis commented with a

Kyle pressed his lips together. That… sounded like a horrible scenario. Being stuck under the spell’s protective dome for who knows how long certainly wasn’t a welcome thought.“I’d rather not have to resort to that.” Kyle admitted. “Besides, what if they find a way to get past the barrier? Necron did fall after all – perhaps there was a weakness in their spells.”Droigheann scoffed. “If those puny humans can do that, then I’m no demon.”Irena nodded vigorously. “I doubt anyone within that group would have the knowledge or skills to do such a thing.”Vis remained silent. Her gaze was fixed on the barrier, the dome covering the entirety of the plateau, all the branches of the evertree. It lit up every once in a while as the siege continued, and so did the attacks. Kyle let out a sigh. “Still, we have much to do, and being stuck here isn’t going to help. Besides

 “A lucky fool, he said, huh?” Vis asked with a smile as they stood by the pond. “I’m not quite so sure if I’d call you that.”Kyle let out a sigh. “Why are you still here anyways?” He asked, annoyed. He had hoped Vis would also leave along with the others, but the ancient vampire seemed to like this place a tad bit too much.“A prime viewing of a battle was promised to me,” She said with an innocent smile. “I wouldn’t dare miss it.” She pointed at the still surface of the pond. “They’ll reach the camp soon.”Kyle gulped. She wasn’t wrong. Droigheann had promised Kyle would be able to watch the battle, and he had cast a spell on this pond. A spell to let one of Cacophus’ skeletal birds to act as Kyle’s eyes.As the sun began to set, the surface of the pond rippled. A few moments passed before an image slowly formed on the water&rs

Kyle locked his door, then walked around his room, checking every nook and cranny. As he looked under the bed and found nothing but a paid of boots he had kicked down there, he breathed a sigh of relief.The young man finally let himself relax. He changed into comfortable pyjamas, then crawled into the bed. He then held his breath for a good five seconds, and only when he made sure there was no one but him in the room did he breathe a sigh of relief and pulled the blanket to his chin.Droigheann had to practically drag Vis out of Kyle’s room. Irena had then taken her to a room she could call her own. Kyle was still hoping that she’s grow bored of this place and go back to her home. Maybe she would be gone when he woke up.With little hope in his heart, he closed his eyes, and let his consciousness drift away. Come morning, the chirping birds woke him up. After his usual morning routine of breakfast and getting dressed, Kyle heade

The Paladin glared at Kyle. “Well?”The young summoner let out a tired sigh. “Do I really need to explain why I haven’t slept well?” he asked, rolling his eyes. “It’s just bad dreams, nothing more.”It was the next day, and Luke had dropped by again to take some of the healing potions to the auction.“Yes, you do need to explain.” Luke said with a serious tone. “Now explain. Caille says dreams are nothing to be ignored.”Kyle let out a sigh. “You seriously do worry too much.” He whined.“So what? Explain.” The Paladin simply wouldn’t budge.Kyle shook his head. “It’s just a dream about the damn angel.” He threw his hands in the air, then explained the dream he’d seen briefly. “This isn’t something to worry about, it’s Rhealis’ dreams that I worry about.”Luke scowled. “I don&
