A distance away from the clearing that had near two dozen unconscious people strewn around in different positions, the two girls were moving through the forest rapidly.They only appeared for a few seconds every time before rapidly phasing away from the spot, only to appear a distance away and repeat the same thing all over again.In that short moment that they appeared, the sight of one of the girls being carried by the other was seen… The first girl who had gone crazy in beating the group of arcanas into the ground was been carried by the other girl who had stayed on the sidelines and watched the fight instead.She was also the one who took over and sent the two leaders flying when the first girl passed out just before she delivered a head-pounding blow to the leaders.The first girl looked anything but alright at that moment… In that short moment before they phased away… She could be seen in an unconscious state with her body showing a green tint.The color was a light green when t

Slow and steady, Aiden continued his way up the rock formation, finding grooves wherever he could for leverage. A few more times, the lava chose to show its problems, splattering into his path or simply changing directions suddenly till he was climbing directly into it.In situations like this, he was quick to change directions, or in some other cases, he simply put out the heat with a nice spray.One look, up at the right half of the chasm, showed the lava flowing off the edges… If he had still been standing in its path, it was easy to imagine the situation he would be in at that moment.But trouble would never cease to come because he noticed very quickly that the lava was spilling over the sides… This would not have meant much, but the side he could see clearly was the one that lined the wall of the chasm… The same that he was at that moment climbing.The best and worst part of all this was the progressive movement that the lava was taking… It was literally moving in from the outsi

Aiden had spent only spent about an hour in the blizzard before it began to subside. This made him show his face again. As he stepped out of the pile of snow that he hid in to avoid the cold, he saw that the skies had cleared for the most part.It was not all blue skies and sunshine, however, the overcast of the snowstorm still prevailed, but it was a lot better than it was earlier. This prompted Aiden to get moving, and he spent the next half hour trotting through thick snow with nothing in sight, except for the wall of mountains in the distance.At the half-hour mark of his walking, he found that things were a lot weirder than he thought they were. Chief among the reasons for this thought was the weather that had quickly gone from overcast after a snowstorm to full sunshine in his face.He also found the barren land to be testing, so he assumed that he was in another trial, another world, or whatever it was supposed to be at this point.While Aiden trotted through the snow, a girl w

"Now, why did I not get this as the welcome committee", Diane said."I thought you said that you appeared in a field of flowers?", Deirdre asked with a look of confusion on her face."Yes, I did. However, outside that field of flowers was a lot of barren lands, before I managed to get to you", she answered. "In comparison, this place is a paradise", she added.In front of them at that moment was a valley, beautiful enough that the only description that could be given to it was that it was a paradise, just as Diane had mentioned.Aside from the flowers, plants, and beautiful trees that filled the valley, animals were grazing in the fields. From animals that looked like deer, bulls, and oxen, to the more predatory ones with sharp canines designed to gouge on the flesh of their prey, the place was a biome with a sustained living."Well, the charm fades fast when you get to watch everything die multiple times, stuck in the same spot with no way to make a difference to the outcome of every

It was early in the morning, and Fraser just handed Alyssa over to the Queen. He had decided not to take her along as she would draw a lot of attention.As you would expect of the willful character that Alyssa was, she got grumpy and kept to herself the entire time. She even decided not to give any sort of goodbye as Fraser walked away from the palace. It wasn't until he was almost out of her line of sight that she turned and looked at him with eyes that sparkled in the light.Fraser did not notice this, however, the queen who stood beside Alyssa did, and she stroked Alyssa's scales in response. Alyssa also responded by resting her head on the queen's lap.Fraser did not know any of this as he walked back to the barracks. His expression had changed from the normal look a person had to an indifferent one that seemed to tear a hole into anyone who looked directly into his eyes. This meant that as he walked into the barracks, the people who were about to greet him pulled back and were fr
