Xin who had always been plagued by her nightmares, started having them once again. The nightmares had actually started when she was a kid but old man Xue, decided to suppress them using a powerful serum which he stumbled upon during his days of adventures.It was during those adventures that he met a strange lady who told him that his only daughter would give birth to a child, a powerful daughter who will play a major role in restoring peace and balance to the world.On the day that Xin was born, it had rained heavily with flashes of lighting and ferocious roaring thunder. It was a time that Old man Xue would never forget in a hurry. Not because, a new member was added to his family, but because it was the day he lost his only daughter Nana.When Xin began to grow up and the nightmares began to come, he went back to the woman who had told him the prophecy about his granddaughter to help him put an end to it. The woman gave him a special serum but told him a time will come when the ser

The sky was overcast, reflecting the somber mood of the small gathering at the cemetery. Friends and family of Yul had come to mourn. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the nearby trees, adding a soft, mournful sound to the quiet scene.It was a very sad sight to behold as everyone came dressed in black, a reflection of the sadness that the moment had cast upon everyone.Jack, Yul's father, wore a somber expression. Even if he made it appear to everyone that Yul had been a coward and had taken his own life, he still felt the pain of having lost a son.Among the mourners was Tiara. She stood by the freshly dug grave, her eyes red from crying, a deep sorrow etched across her face. Beside her was Cheong, who tried to comfort her, though he himself was clearly struggling with the weight of the loss.As the ceremony continued, Serpens quietly stood quietly at a spot where no one could see him. He felt a knot of guilt and sadness in his chest, knowing that Yul's death was a tragedy that

As Serpens lay in bed that night, he couldn't shake off the question which Serena had asked him. Their parents had died when they were still kids. He was just six years old at that time and Serena was just three years old.Though he couldn't really remember everything that had happened, he could still remember some police officers coming to their house to break the news to Grandma Suki.Someone had assassinated his parents. Someone who had always envied his father but that was all he could remember. While he was still in deep thoughts, his phone buzzed and it was a call from Lan. He had forgotten to call her after promising he'd do so."I've been waiting for your call," Lan began, after he picked up the phone to answer the call."Sorry, I forgot." Serpens apologized. "I was talking to Serena and I lost track of time. I'm really sorry.""It's fine. I just thought of reminding you that I'm home. I got home about thirty minutes ago." Lan said. "Extend my warmest regards to Serena. I rea

Serena couldn't hide the pride that surged through her after her meeting with old man Xue. She had always known that there was something special about her grandmother but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.She was still on her way going home when she heard someone call out to her. Turning around, she saw Cheong. She recognised him as one of the guys who had picked on her then."What do you want?" She sneered at him."I've come to apologize for what happened the other time. I didn't mean to pick on you. I know what I did was wrong." Cheong said, feigning remorse. "I'd really want us to start on a much better ground."Serena looked at him, a feeling of suspicion washing over her. She could feel that there was something quite strange in Cheong's sudden appearance to apologize to her. It's been over two months they picked on her making her wonder why he had only decided to apologize now."Tell me why I should trust you. What exactly do you want from me?" Serena asked, her anger risi

That night, Serpens fell into a restless sleep, the weight of recent events pressing down on his subconscious. The name Dimitis de'nom kept echoing in his ears like the relentless cry of an abandoned baby.As he drifted off, he found himself in a strange, ethereal landscape. The world around him shimmered with an otherworldly glow, and a soft, almost haunting melody filled the air. In the distance, he saw a figure approaching—an ethereal version of Xin, Old Xue's granddaughter whom he had healed months back.His surprise was palpable as he pondered why she had come to meet him in his dream. He took a firm stance waiting for whatever advances she'll make whether positive or negative."Serpens," she called out, her voice echoing like a whisper in the wind. "What do you want?" Serpens asked, his eyes glinting in bewilderment."Have you found the stone bearer?" Xin asked, taking Serpens by surprise."How do you know about the stone bearer? Who told you?" He asked, his curiosity piqued.
