"Guys, tell me about your dreams!" Storm exclaimed to his friends. They were all gathered in their rooms. "What's this all about?" Euston asks."Nothing," The System bearer grinned. "It's just, I know our shared goal is to solve the primordial puzzle but we all should have separate goals don't you think?""..." The crew pondered for a while. Not once did some of them bother to think about having separate goals but, Storm was right. They can't be tied to his dreams alone. They each need to have something else thay drives them. "Well I want to find all the lost music of the old world." Bleck raises his hand. Of course Storm and Kaz already knew that. Storm grins. "Okay, Next!" His eyes lit up."I want to find the Akashic Record." Lucy's words made the Tempests gasp."Isn't that just a myth?" Euston asks. "Actually," Tanya said. "I've heard the Saints talk about the Akashic record before.""As a Elf, I've always dreamed of finding the Akashic records!" "Now things are getting i

"Kill Switch!" Keith shouted, his voice echoing through the arena like a thunderclap. The dark mana radiated from his body as he lunged forward, his attack a concentrated burst of energy. Storm responded instantly, his own mana infused with miasma, creating a swirling vortex of darkness that converged with Keith's attack. The impact of their collision sent shockwaves rippling through the air, resulting in a mild explosion that rattled the spectators.Keith grinned through the aftermath, his smile sharp and predatory. "And here I am to think that losing your relic made you weaker," he taunted, his words dripping with sarcasm. His eyes gleamed with a mix of amusement and disdain as he assessed Storm's reaction.Storm stood his ground, his expression unperturbed despite the force of the collision. "If anything," he replied coolly, "I'm 10 times stronger than I was that day." He referred to the day their father took away the Heart of Malacoda, the legendary relic that once gave him extrao

special type of mana crystals to resist space-warping abilities.""Hehe, you're a freaking assasin. I'm sure you can slip your way through.""True, but still. It won't be easy.""I know, please try." Keith looked into the eys of his brother and saw the desperation in him."You really care about these people huh?""To be frank, they are my second family." "Fine, I'll do my best. I never had a choice since I lost the bet anyways." Storm grins and pumps his fist into the air. "Solemn! Thank you, brother." "I'll be off then." Waving two fingers at his brother, Keith became enveloped in his miasma as he dissappears leaving Storm alone. Unbeknownst to thses two however, a certain figure was eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time.The man had his face covered with the hood of the cloak he was wearing yet his bulky body was visible.He dashed to the other side of the city and pulls out his phone.Dialing a number he placed the phone on his ears."It's Keith. He betrays us an

"Hurry!" Daniel and Keith were running through the halls of the castle as they turned around to yell at Valor who was catching his breath. "I am not as energetic as you youngins!" He snapped back at them. "Sorry." They said in unison, their voices a perfect harmony of remorse and regret. The two figures stood side by side, their postures heavy with fatigue and their expressions betraying the weariness of battle."It'll take time before I can summon Garla and recover all my strength," whispered Selene, her voice a soft tremor against the silence that enveloped them. Her mana, once vibrant with energy, was now dimmed, barely a flicker."Great, now we're stuck here," Daniel replied with a hint of frustration. "I can't teleport us out of here unless I know we're all at a hundred percent. We might just appear in a battlefield." The thought of blindly stumbling into unknown territory was unsettling, and he knew they couldn't afford another surprise encounter.Daniel yanked at his hair, h

"What are you doing here, Derek!?" "My, is that any way to talk to your beloved teacher?" Everybody looked at Storm. "He's the most psychotic person in the Mage Breakers. My father might be the leader. But Derek, he's evil incarnate in every way." "Stop it," The man identified as Derek touched his cheek. "You're making me blush." "Tck, Kaz!" Storm turned to his vice-captain. Kaz looked at the eys of the System bearer and nodded his head. "On it." He said as he touches Storm and begins to transfer some of his mana to him. "Thanks." Storm felt his powers rejuvenate. It was nothing near his complete power but that would suffice. It had to suffice for what's to come. "Three Dons, the Mage Breakers's strongest assasin unit who either use shadow or dark elements, and Derek someone who's easily on the same level as the Dons.""Everyone." Storm turned to his friends who were gathered around him. "I can't promise any of you that we'll all survive this, so if you want to leave. I'll und
