Chapter 24:
A Descending Book from a DreamThird (Main) POV:It's been a week since Carter came to Encrest. Another day went by and they spent the rest of the night with Raven and his new friend, Krystelle.
Carter was at the window sill of the room, looking at the bright blue moon that was shining above the sky.
There were many sparkling stars that captured Carter's view for a while.
The house was calm after their trip, but Carter was blown away by reality, and he had forgotten the most important thing of his life.
Her cheerful and warm smile slowly turned into sadness and loneliness when he remembered Sandra, Ricky and their mother, Auselle.
Carter grabbed a petal from a Perry Frost flower out of his pocket wishing, "I wish Ricky and Sandra were here."
Carter's POV:
Where am I?
"Sandra? Ricky? Where are you?"
I was on a mystic grassland. A meadow so to speak. It was cloudy with daylight and I kept
Chapter 25The Ministry of EncrestCarter's POV: The Peculiar that saved me from the falling tree and the Peculiar that saved me from the falling tree, back at the Caves of Perry Frost, we both reacted with a same response after seeing each other. I guess I owe this guy as well! Damn, why am I such a 'damsel in distress' type of guy, relying on others to save me!? Am I really this weak? Which then out of the blue questions my strengths and capabilities as being me-as Carter Wister, the second-born son of Auselle Wister. I suddenly felt and realized that my life is so precious. So it is so important that almost everyone is trying to save a mere guy like me, who is always afraid of everything and who can't even save himself from any harm. What's so special about me anyway? It's like I am valuable and worthy of being rescued from any danger, which then makes me even more motivated to become stronger and that
Chapter 26The Scoundrel and the RascalCarter's POV: "Carter, Wait!" I heard Kyrstelle's voice calling me, but I kept on walking forward without turning my head back. I then started to run away from the site. I found a nearby stonebridge and hid under it. I knew it! I just knew it! I shouldn't have expected to receive a Grimoire. I shouldn't have believed I could attain powers. I'm just a mere lost human who tries to fit in this world where he doesn't even belong. If only I prevented Ricky and Sandra from entering the portal leading through here, I wouldn't be even involved in this situation. If it wasn't for that strange Lincoln too, Ricky and Sandra wouldn't be curious and we would be still living our normal lives! Tch, I don't know. I don't know what to do! I just want everything to go back to normal, but the other side of me wants to escape the old reality I have been living in for the rest of
Chapter 27The TrialsCarter's POV: "Are you alright!? "Are you hurt?" Krystelle immediately checked on me after their wild fight and hugged me. That was so awesome! They managed to defeat those thieves in that short amount of time! How powerful they are?! Especially Perseus! His ability to wield water magic. He is extraordinary and I admired him a lot! With little less effort, he managed to capture those impudent thieves trying to get my ticket that was my only way to obtain magical powers. The three of them! I adore them all for being such kind and protective friends! "It is I who's supposed to say that. How are you three?" I asked. "Unsatisfied," Raven answered in cold response. "What? How come you got unsatisfied after that fight?" "I was just getting pumped up, but Krystelle all did the fight and took the stage to show-off," he explained with a sulky expression. "What?
Chapter 28An Elf Paired with a HumanCarter's POV: "A-are you going to kill me!? Spare my life, please! I still want to live!" I raised my two hands as a sign to settle with her. "I said, be quiet!" "Okay, Alright! I'll give myself up and surrender. I'll shut up if you want, as long as you don't kill me!" She constricted her eyes and gave me a distrusting look on her face. I begged for my life, but it looks like Amarra wasn't listening. I saw Amarra's hand slowly pulling the string of her bow farther away from her body. I squeezed my eyes shut. My body was shivering from intense fear and cold. I was standing still like a preserved frozen caveman as she released the string's tension. It looks like this is the end of my life.Goodbye beautiful world. Raven, Krystelle, Perseus, Ricky, Sandra, Mom. Farewell. I waited a few seconds but I felt nothing. I felt n
Chapter 29An Offhanded Battle: Part ICarter's POV: A book appeared from the bright red light of mana that was covering it after it bursted into fragments. My Perry Frost Ticket is being merged into the object. I wasn't aware that my Perry Frost Ticket fled on its own after I retrieved it back from the Luna who attempted to steal it. This book looked like the same thing that I saw in my dreams! "This book is..." I was awestruck as this book that was floating in front of me was the same book I saw in my dreams. It descended on my hand and took it. Is this my grimoire?! Yes! I can finally have my magic! But... What does this book contain? Can I even read what's in it!? After I got too excited about receiving my Grimoire, I suddenly felt anxious as if I could use it to its full extent. "Tch, You stupid weakling! Why did you summon your Grimoire so late?" Amarra coughed and shouted after while she was lying o
Chapter 30An Offhanded Battle: Part IICarter's POV: "Aaaaaaa!" I totally freaked out and I shrilled as my body of rock was falling into pieces after the Golem crushed my body. I didn't feel the pain, but I suddenly felt that I was a part of the soil earth. I felt every rock and stone throughout my very core being. I didn't know how to react. I was totally speechless as my bodies of rock were scattered on the ground. I felt the connection between each and every crushed part of my body, like they were attached with strings. I could entirely control my head and rolled towards Amarra's ears. I saw Amarra flinch and saw her open her eyes. "Psst. Hey!" So I called her attention. "W-what happened?! And why is your head here? Where's your body?!" She was surprised. After the initial shock, she regained her composure but was still hurt from the stab. "It's hard to explain, but I'm in the middle of a battle crisis!! Please help m
Chapter 31Sei's Wrathful RevengeThird POV: Krystelle ~x~59:59:53~x~ After the Dryad announced the start of the test, the gathering place suddenly turned formless. Grids and lines were forming and flashes of neon lights were swirling in the air until the vicinity turned into a huge battlefield forest. Krystelle was all alone. She looked around the place to see if there were any threats coming at her, but she saw a girl sitting on the rock. Her skin was tan. She clipped her bobbed platinum blonde hair that was covering her face. As she finished clipping her hair, Krystelle saw her beautiful face that matched her golden brown eyes. She smiled at Krystelle and started to introduce herself to her. "It's nice to meet you! My name is Yosora and you are...?" and she slightly tilted her head downward to her side. "Krystelle. It's nice to meet you, Yosora. " Krystelle replied with a smile. Krystelle felt a
Chapter 32Krystelle's ReminisceKrystelle's POV: ~x~Flashback~x~ "Mother, Who are these creatures?" As I pointed my finger at the picture my mom was holding. I was a little elf back then, sitting on my mom's lap, being curious and eager enough to learn the world. My attention was drawn to the photographs that Mom was holding. I grabbed them and took a closer look at their appearances. "They are called Humans, my elfie dear." My mother spoke and answered. "Humans? Where do they live, mother?" I asked as my tone was filled with pure innocence and curiosity. My mother lifted me down from her lap and placed me on the floor to sit down. She was going to tell a story, a tale of who and what humans are. I was very intrigued by the idea, so I attentively listened as the fire from the fireplace gave us a cozy warmth feeling. ~x~Let me tell you a story about humans.Long ago, humans and elves were on
