Sluggishly, Serpens made his way back to the hospital, his thoughts consumed by the fact that he had put Rose in danger and his powers were of no use this time around.His eyes welled up with tears as he slumped in the sterile hospital waiting room. The harsh fluorescent lights amplified the worrisome look on his face. He tried holding back the tears that were slowly finding their way down his cheeks. He turned to the wall clock, each tick amplifying his anxiety. It was like his world had shattered into a million pieces. “Rose, please don't die," he sighed.Serpens wished all that was happening at that moment was nothing but a terrible dream - one he'd wake up from to see Rose right in front of him.He couldn't help but blame himself for everything. His thoughts raced back to Winter who now seemed to be endowed with some sort of dragonic power too.Just at that moment, Dr. Sun approached, a folder clutched in her hand, her expression grave. Serpens sprang to his feet, rushing to mee

Walking through the quiet halls of the hospital, Doctor Sun decided to drop by at Rose's ward and see for herself just how she was doing.The last diagnosis she carried out on Rose was scary. It was as if her heart had stopped beating yet she was still alive. Her skin felt so cold that one would think that she was already dead.A couple of other patients were still in the ward, some already getting ready to be discharged home. As she walked past the other patients, lost in thought, she noticed the life saver that Rose was connected to not beeping anymore.Fear surged through her as she rushed to her side. She just couldn't explain it but there was this unusual connection she had towards Rose like she'd always known her or something.Reaching her bedside, a chill shot up her spine. The room felt unusually cold. Looking down at Rose, she gasped in horror. She was as pale as the sky blue around her, the cold breathed over her skin, frostbitten. It was absolutely freezing out and you cou

“You have to find the draconic gem and restore it to the heart of the third sea.” Professor Layton Bagan. “If Aquron should find the gem before you, then there's no way we can stop Bahamut.”“So, if I should get you sir, Aquron has fused with Winter and the reason is for him to find the draconic gem too.” Serpens asked, just to understand better.“Yes Mr. Ryu,” professor Layton nodded.“But why? I thought you said the draconic gem was to defeat Bahamut?” Serpens asked, his curiosity piqued.“Yes, Mr. Ryu…, if Aquron finds the draconic gem before you, it'll absorb it's powers and with the power it'll set Bahamut free. Nothing should make you allow Aquron get the gem before you do.” Professor Layton instructed.“But sir… what about Rose?”“Rose will be fine. You just need to fill her lungs with your own dragon's breath of fire, to prevent her heart from getting frozen.” Professor Layton advised.Serpens felt relieved knowing that there was a way he could stabilize Rose pending when he'l

Serpens, fueled by a mix of anger and desperation, stormed through the alleyways of the city in his Harley motorcycle, his mid set in confronting Winter and retrieving the map and compass from him.It wouldn't be his first time standing up against him and he wasn't afraid. If he had done it, then he could still do it again. The base of the penthouse was where he had said he should meet him up.Upon getting to the base of the warehouse, he discovered that no one was there, fueling his anger even more.“Show yourself Winter!” He screamed. You're such a coward that you had to break into my house. You could have waited for a fight.” He blurted out angrily.Suddenly, his phone buzzed and it was a strange number. Swiping the phone screen to the side, he answered the call.“Hello, Serpens,” the voice at the other end called out to him. Serpens immediately recognised the voice as Winter's voice.“Winter, where are you?” He asked, his anger palpable. He remembered the last time he confronted

Inspector Lui was full of optimism as approached Serpens’s house, the neighborhood quiet and still in the early afternoon. Seeing the house where Serpens and his sister lived, he couldn't help but marvel at how a twenty year old could afford such an exquisite apartment.He nodded, as he walked towards the door, his eyes scanning the area. The neighborhood appeared to be friendly as the quietness echoed with the wind that brushed past him, sending fresh air into his lungs.He knocked on the door, waiting for a response, but there was none. After a few moments, he tried the doorbell, listening intently for any sounds from within. Again, silence greeted him.Growing concerned, he turned and spotted an elderly woman tending to her garden next door. He walked over and called out, "Excuse me, ma'am. Do you know where the people who live here might be? I need to speak with the young man's sister."The neighbor looked up from her flowers, wiping her hands on her apron. "Oh, I'm sorry, dear. N
