[View of Howl and Chez]Howl's hair stood on end as he was frozen in place with the tip of Chez's arrow pushing into the back of his neck. The wolf cursed himself for getting so close to the centaur in his own environment, but he didn't have time to play around.If Howl died here, then so did his new… friend. That was a strange word for him since Howl was a wolf, and the only creature he had anything to do with were his brothers and sisters."I didn't come here for me! There was a creature that I tried to attack, but it stopped me, almost killing me. Then, he didn't and offered for me to join him!" Howl growled out but felt stupid even as he explained it.Then the pressure from the arrow left, but Howl didn't move. The arrow was more deadly from farther away, so the blue wolf decided it was best to wait and see what Chez would do."What if this creature? Who is he?" Chez asked, now standing back from the wolf.Chez was very dissatisfi

'Wait, how does that even work? You said he was like you and not of this world, but he has all these children, right? But they aren't his children? I am beyond confused right now,' I sent to Libra as we slowed to a stop.Chez turned to me and then closed his eyes, placing his hands together. Strange purple lines started to appear on his chest as the centaur began to chant.The lines ran to glowing points, and then the points started to glow like purple stars. That was when I realized what was happening; there was a constellation forming on Chez's chest."Bless my home.Cover me in the shadows.Take me to the stars.Draw me a place in the constellations.Astral Island Activated!"Chez's chant ended at the same time as the circular constellation finished forming on his chest. I had expected that it was going to be something more complicated, but then both me and Howl were crushed to the ground.It was like someone turned t

I left Howl and started to move forward, but I was immediately met with fierce resistance. As I assumed, the pressure started to worsen, but each step crushed my foot into the ground the moment I put pressure on them.On top of the crushing steps, it felt like my head was going to explode. My body was under vice-like pressure that was hard to describe.It was like being pressed from all angles on every inch of my body. Not only did it press in on me, but the farther I pushed in, the thinner the air seemed to get.Finally, I had to stop to catch my breath, and I was sorely tempted to sit down, but I knew it would be that much harder to get up this time. I need to keep pressing forward, but the closer I got, the harder it was, obviously, like Chez had said.[Take ten steps back.] Harold said out of nowhere after remaining silent.'Really? Do you know how hard it was to take those ten steps?'I was only just out of sight from Howl now, and I wa

"The wall isn't going to give you the answers that you are looking for," Mex said as he sipped his tea, watching Calabro.The Manticore turned his lion head back to The Demon Lord and now was giving him a pointed look. Calabro always hated how this creature always displayed such calmness, no matter the situation."Getting excited or upset won't help anything. Now, I can see how you were tricked. The Witch of the Sea can change her body to he chooses. What I am having trouble figuring out is how you were able to get away?" Mex asked after digging into the beast's mind.The Manticore tried to jump up to yell at Mex, but then Mex Tea crashed to the ground. Both of them were on the ground, groaning as Nixi walked into the room."This child is of that witch that chased us across the sea to this cursed island! You will place her under our protection, and the father will serve as a watchdog to make sure that she is safe. If we are ever to get off this island, th

Nushi was standing on a beach, in a castle, standing in the forest, on a mountain top, in the middle of the ocean in a boat. Nothing made sense, and Nushi's mind felt like it was being pulled apart."What is going on?" Nushi asked out loud in fear, and it felt like her mind was trying to pull itself apart.The Demon's powers that she had received from Zack Foreman and her own multiplied due to her being outside of reality. In most girls' cases, there were no manuals for them, But Nushi had the advantage in this respect.Grabbing her head and trying to concentrate, Nushi closes her eyes. This allows her to bring her fractured minds together and lets her summon her journal.Each of the girls needed to learn everything independently, or that was the case before Nushi could use a series of tests with her predictive journal. The book allowed her to look into people's thoughts and see the results of their actions up to five minutes in the future.But not
