After thinking for a while, Storm realized that he might not be powerful enough to remove the Orb. The weight of this realization settled heavily on his shoulders. The orb wasn't ordinary, it carried a lot of power, and he wouldn't be able to take it on his own. He thought about his friends,he couldn't ask them for help because he didn't want to get them involved and didn't want to drag them into his chaotic life. His friends had their own battles to fight, their own lives to live. Involving his friends would only put them in unnecessary danger and complicate things further. He couldn't afford that; he wanted his friends journey in school to be smooth, unlike his own. Maybe he should ask just one person for help and tell them to keep it a secret. Would that person agree? He thought about Lucy, she had wanted the orb all along, maybe she would agree to help him."She definitely wouldn't after what happened," he thought. Storm sighed and kicked a pebble into the pond, watching as

The garden felt different. It was as if it sensed Magebreaker’s energy and changed. Storm didn't want any problems and just wanted to show Magebreaker where the orb was so he'd leave.Looking at the garden, the Magebreaker was rather unconvinced that the Orb was hidden in the garden. It was too normal of a place to hold such a powerful object,he glanced around the garden. The garden, with its beautiful flowers and pond, seemed an unlikely place for such a powerful artifact. Magebreaker looked around the garden, it was quiet except for the sound of crickets. He didn’t know if Storm had played him and could only tunr to him. “uhm” Storm began, his voice steady but laced with urgency, “I know it seems impossible, but the Orb is here. Trust me. The texts from the Library explained where it would be and it is here”. Storm hurriedly explained. He would also not have believed that the Orb was here if he hadn’t taken time to under the garden. He looked around the garden not knowing how else

The next day came too quickly for Storm. The morning sun shone through his open curtains. His head pounded as he tried to sit up. He sat on his bed for a few minutes taking deep breaths before getting up and moving around the room. He moved towards his mirror and stared at himself. He looked haggard, the past week had taken a toll on him. His beards had started growing again, his eyes had dark circles around them. He couldn't go out looking like this, his friends would get worried and they would ask questions. He wasn't ready for any conversation and just wanted to go about his day without worrying about the orb and the Magebreaker. He walked slowly to the bathroom, preparing to meet his friends. Inside the bathroom, Storm thought about everything that happened the night before. How would he go through the day if his mind kept going back to that? Storm dressed and stared at his mirror again, practicing his fake smiles. He took a deep breath again, glancing at the mirror one last tim

Storm was in a dilemma at the moment and didn't know what to do. He kept pacing back and forth in his room, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The walls seemed to close in on him, he couldn't breathe properly. His heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest. He didn't expect Magebreaker to start using the orb now, it was too early. Now the chaos was just about to begin, and the only way to stop it was to retrieve the Orb and then close the gate of the other realms that had been opened. But was it easy to do? There was no way he would be able to do that, not when it was Magebreaker he was up against. He wasn't sure anyone would be able to fight Magebreaker even if he and his friends went to fight him, they wouldn't win, the Magebreaker was too strong for them and now he was probably the most powerful person in the world. Though the screams had stopped, he could smell blood in the air, a metallic smell that seemed to cling to everything.Everywhere was quiet as a

Lillian shook her head, her expression grim and resolute. “The solution, Storm, is none other than for you to clean up the mess you caused yourself,” she answered.Storm's heart sank at her words. He had hoped there might be another way, some easier path to fix this. But deep down, he knew she was right. He had created this chaos, and it was his responsibility to set things right. Shocked and overwhelmed, he asked, “But how am I going to do it?”Lillian's eyes met his, and he saw a mixture of concern and pity. “You will need to travel to the other realm to retrieve the Orb from the Magebreaker,” she explained. “It's the only way to close the gate and restore balance. Besides, now that the location of the Orb is known to all, everyone will want to obtain it. The truly strong ones don't really care about the chaos; they are only interested in the power the Orb holds.”The image of the Magebreaker loomed large in his mind. “How can I possibly defeat him?” he wondered, fear gnawing at the
