The metal vesle creaked and everyone froze, holding their breath as the lit came open. "Incompetent fools!!!"Xenark yelled angrily, causing all of his men to flinch and look down in fear as stared back at yet another failure. The large egg was completely melted to liquid this time around, mixed with some of the ravens blood that had been added to the combination when it was built. But just like the first time, there was no sign of a gurr and the men didn't need to be told to know that their master wasn't happy. "You fools must be tired of living. How many trials do you need to reborn just one gurr?!!"Xenark asked, his voice full of rage as he glared hardly at the men around him. No one was brave enough to tell him that a gurr couldn't be considered as 'just' He was making them recreate something that wasn't even supposed to exist anymore and the last thing he should have expected it to be was easy. Again the men wondered what might have gone wrong.Was the raven blood not pure

Being on the same level as Shalf had been a long time coming. For months, he had tried to humiliate me because he was a sonite on the final level and I was just a sonite. But now, we both were mages of equal power, and he couldn't be mean to me anymore. Thanks to all the runes I had acquired so far, I was strong now, and I awaited my trial to advance from the sonite level into the Ionite level. But before this, Kilish was going to make me go through several quests.Kilish was one of the most powerful mages in the land, and he was the one who had taken me under his wing when I was just a beginner. He had seen my potential and had decided to train me personally, which was a rare honor. But Kilish was also a tough teacher, and he never went easy on me. He had made it clear from the beginning that I had to earn my place in the ranks of the mages.All the quests were going to be linked with an imaginary world. A world which do not exist, but whatever I bring our of it would be real.The fi

Kilish stood up from his chair, his eyes still locked onto mine. "Right now," he said. "Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. You're going to enter the dream world, and when you wake up, you'll be facing Borari."I did as he instructed, taking deep breaths and clearing my mind. I felt a sudden rush of energy, and then everything went black.When I opened my eyes, I was standing in a field of tall grass. The sun was just setting, casting a warm glow over everything. The world around me felt hazy, dreamlike. I knew that I was in the dream world, and that Borari was waiting for me somewhere.I took a deep breath and started walking, my eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of my opponent. The grass rustled beneath my feet, and I could hear the distant sound of crickets chirping.Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me. "Welcome to my world," it said.I spun around, ready to defend myself. And there he was, standing a few feet away from me. Borari. He looked like an ordinary man, but

I took a deep breath and looked at Master Kilish, trying my best to hide my nerves. The quest he had just given me was an enormous challenge, one that would push my magical abilities to the limit."Use your magic to build a shelter from tiny grains of sand," Master Kilish repeated, his eyes fixed on me. "You must motion with just your hands, without actually touching anything. This is a difficult task, but I have faith in you."I nodded, trying to appear confident, even though I was shaking on the inside. I knew that I had trained for years to reach this point, but the stakes were high, and failure was not an option.I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to focus my energy. I could feel my magic surging through my veins, ready to be unleashed.Slowly, I began to move my hands, drawing symbols and shapes in the air as I chanted incantations under my breath. The grains of sand before me began to swirl and shift, forming into a swirling vortex of dust and grit.I continued to m

As I stood before Master Kilish, I knew what he was going to say before the words left his mouth. "It is time for you to go on another quest," he said, his voice stern but not unkind.I nodded, my heart pounding in my chest. Every quest was a test, a chance to prove myself to my master and to myself. But this one felt different. This one involved me learning how to build a shield using my powers, something I had never attempted before.Master Kilish handed me a scroll, and I unrolled it to find the details of my quest. I would be traveling to the far reaches of the kingdom, to a remote village where the people were under attack from a fierce dragon. My task was to use my powers to create a shield that would protect the people from the dragon's fiery breath.I swallowed hard. This was no easy task. I had only just begun to harness my powers, and I had never attempted anything like this before. But I knew that Master Kilish would not have sent me on this quest if he did not believe I wa
