Storm's feet moved swiftly through the academy's corridors, his heart racing with anticipation. He had finally found a chance to search for the book, and he wasn't going to let it slip away. Lilliana's absence had provided the perfect opportunity, and he wasn't going to waste it.As he entered the Library, the musty scent of old books enveloped him, and the soft murmur of pages turning filled the air. Storm's eyes scanned the shelves, his gaze lingering on the titles as he searched for the one he needed. The others had been surprised by his sudden interest in the Library, but Storm had brushed off their questions with a hasty excuse. He knew they wouldn't understand, not yet.As Storm and his friends walked towards the Library, their conversation turned to their plans for the day."Hey, Storm, what are you up to today?" Aria asked, her curiosity piqued.Storm hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "Oh, just going to do some reading," he said casually."Reading?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

Storm's friends stared at him in disbelief, their minds racing with questions. "Where did you hear about the Power Orb?" Erika asked, her voice laced with skepticism.Storm's mind raced as he concocted a lie. "I overheard some people talking about it when I was heading home," he said, trying to sound casual. "They mentioned that they were searching for the Power Orb."The group exchanged confused glances. "But why were you looking it up in the school library?" Lyra asked, her brow furrowed.Storm's lie grew thicker. "They said that the Orb was hidden somewhere in the school, and they wanted to use it to gain power." He paused, trying to appear nervous. "I was nearly caught eavesdropping, so I had to run away. That's why I came to the library to learn more about it."His friends looked at each other, seemingly convinced by Storm's tale. "Wow, that's crazy," Erika said, her eyes wide with excitement. "Do you think they're still looking for it?"Storm shrugged, trying to appear nonchalan

“You all want to go after the orb? Seriously?” Storm couldn’t hide his disappointment. He was really disappointed at them and their behavior.He had expected them to not think about going after the orb, but instead going far away from it. But what he was hearing was very disappointing. They all wanted the orb and although it was for a good cause, the orb was too dangerous and powerful. It had the ability to turn the hearts of men and other creatures alike. No matter how they thought they could resist it, the orb was way too powerful and they would end up being possessed by it.“Don’t worry bro. We now know if it’s powers, we’ll be very careful and you know us, we’re the good guys,” Kave said and the others, except Xavier and Tana nodded in agreement.Tana was scared and Xavier was uncertain. If the orb was as powerful as Storm had said it was, then even Storm being the system bearer might not be able to withstand the orb’s power.“Yea, Storm. You know us. We’ll be able to control it

Storm was walking sluggishly back home that night, the weight of his friend’s decision still tormenting him.He had unwillingly agreed to let them find the orb and even join them in searching for it, even though it was something he didn’t want.He was thinking of a way to ensure that they never found it, but his friends were smart and it would only be a matter of time before they found it out.“System bearer.”Storm halted in his tracks immediately, realizing whose voice it was. It was the voice of the person he dreaded the most. After that day when they had spoke, he kept thinking of a way to get rid of him quietly as he couldn’t find him.He turned around after a while, feeling the magebreaker behind him.“Magebreaker,” he swallowed hard, trying to mask his nervousness from the creature. He was afraid of it, but he didn’t want him to know.“How’s your search going? Any leads?” He studied the boy. He could smell his fear and he inwardly laughed. Although, he had to give it to him, h

Lillian glanced at Storm. The others had noticed her when she joined them, but he seemed to be thinking about something and she figured that it was related to the strange creature that was in the academy which she was still unable to detect.“Care to tell us what it is that is taking your mind from wanting to train with us?”He smiled and shook his head. He was tired and would rather not train, but he had no choice as he would have to give a tangible excuse as to why he was absent from training. He was even more pained with the fact that despite his late night, he couldn’t find the Orb.“And why do you look like you didn’t sleep last night. What were you up doing?” Lillian questioned, glaring at him suspiciously. She could see that he was hiding something.There was just something about him that she couldn’t read and she knew immediately that it was because he was with the starve creature, that was why she couldn’t even see anything.She grabbed his arms quickly and stared into his ey
