Chapter 42
Misleading VictoryThird POV:Everyone were formed into a battle position. Templar infantries were at the front, Archers and clerics were at the back, Cavaliers were on the flanks. The shadow wrights armies howled in anger and Zanack ordered his minions to charge and show no mercy in the name of the Dark Lord.
The Shadow Wrights mindlessly charge towards their enemy. But unlike last time the same strategy won't work because of the big threat's presence was in the battlefield - and it was Zanack himself.
The Shadow Wrights clashed into the templar lines but they were continuously dying from the holy spears, barrage of holy arrows and bombardment.
However, Zanack charged towards the templar lines and munched some of the weapons, destroying everything in his sight in order for the templars to not use it against him.
He even devoured all of the knights, templars, some clerics and cavaliers that were blocking his way. Captain
Chapter 43The Tribe ClansDark Side's POV: "Looks like they have managed to find out and killed your little minion, My Dark Lord." One of the minons of minions of Dark Lord stated his findings about what he sought from the battle. "Let them celebrate their triumph for now as they haven't tasted yet the wrath of the Dark Lord Magician. That is not yet the end of their tribulations..." The Dark Lord mercilessly stabbed the human head that was laid on the floor filled with decayed remnants of flesh using his wizard staff. "That is only just the beggining of their excuriation! They still haven't encountered my Seven Greatest Demon Shadow Wrights yet..." The Dark Lord hissed and skiddled a wicked laugh. Thr full moon was shining bright in thr dim sky. His soft to a loud and evil laughter echoed and wrapped the whole kingdom. Large flock of dark birds, crows and bats flew out of the thick black foliage of the withered forest trees which made the king
Chapter 44The Dark PrincessThird POV: Ricky and Sandra Meanwhile, while Carter is still recovering from his illness, Ricky and Sandra are in the hands of shadow creatures. They were secretly kidnapped by these anonymous entities for their wicked schemes. It was a gray, dreary morning. Not much sunlight was passing through the darkroom. They were jailed in a foul prison and their hands were cuffed and chained behind the rusty steel bars. The harness strap was bothering their chained feet as well. The furtive abduction of these malicious beings had enervated the very hearts of the siblings. Sandra wrung her hands piteously together, looking like a soul in torment, but it was impractical and useless. While Ricky was hiding in the shadows, covering her worried face with her shivering hands. All her energies seemed strained to suppress a fit, with which she was then breathlessly tugging; and at length, a low convulsive cry of suffering brok
Chapter 45Dwarf ChaseThird POV: Ricky and Sandra "You lunatic fools! You just let our prisoners escape!" the princess screamed in growling tone and dissapointed manner. After the siblings left, another disciple of the princess came and reported that "I apologize for the rudeness your Majesty, but the Varangis and the Ministers have already killed Zan-" "Don't ruin my morning!" Princess Nimue was even more disappointed and angry at what another dwarf reported. But without being said and before the dwarf even dares to report, she already knew about it but wasn't paying attention and didn't expect for the worst to come. "You useless, malignant creatures! Argh!" she shouted then shrilled from wrath. She did nothing but break the things that she could see and touch. "What are you three standing there?! Get them!" *** Sandra and Ricky finally got free and were in a hurry, running hastily to get away from the Dark Prin
Chapter 46An Elf's hut in a Rainbow ForestThird POV: Ricky and Sandra They were running again because of what Ricky has done. The fierce pterodactyl and from its very rough hands and sharp nails, Ricky was caught. "Here we go again!" rather than being scared Ricky by the tone of his speech, he seemed to be even more pleased about his situation and since because at first they were caught by Amarra's griffin and he enjoyed being taken up in the sky to see the vast view of the whole world. When the monster grabbed Ricky and slowly carried him up into the air, Sandra immediately grabbed Ricky's feet to hold on and pull him back to the ground but the Pterodactyl's force was obviously stronger than Sandra. Lincon followed, clinging to Sandra's feet. They looked like a kite, waving back and forth in the sky. Lincoln forced himself to climb above them and it was as if he Sandra and Ricky was his ladder. He reached for the sleeves and collars o
Chapter 47A Fresh New Start: A Friendly Battle DuelCarter's POV: It's been a day since I got healed from the poison berry that I ate during the ceremony. I didn't know that It could harm my health by eating one temptingly delicious golden berry fruit that was accidentally placed on the served tables. It was a fine and peaceful morning, I was standing in front of the room where I was kept along with my dorm mate. I just woke up in my room and that I wanted to breathe some fresh air. The air in this world is different from the usual air I inhale on Earth, It has a soothing sensation that it feels like as if you are getting healed. In front of me you have a view of the area around the palace. You can clearly see the destroyed establishments and buildings, It's been a week after the sabotaging the Ministry by those wicked Kages. Everyone seemed busy repairing and re-building all the establishments that were damaged by usi
Chapter 48Fortune TellingCarter's POV: "Hey, Carter !? Are you alright?" Trax asked with much concern. "Yeah, I'm good." I plainfully answered. "Well, it seems to me that you are not. It wasn't like you back there when you fought Wizberth? You were almost about to kill him." He said. "Did I?!" I asked him confusingly. "Are you out of your mind?! Unbelievable." Sei then scoffed. "We were looking everywhere for you and Flare! Where were you?" The Ensorcellor with a tied Dreadlocks hair at the end and a chocolate colored skin tone, asked Wizberth when he got up from his crutch. You can see he has almost more scars than me from the fight we won. "I was at my dorm, together with Flarion." Wizberth answered. "I told you Ly," another Ensorcellor proclaimed his assumption. His hair was gray. Same as his eyes. He has a band on his forehead with a written sign or sym
Chapter 49Deciding Your FateCarter's POV: "What?! fortune telling?!" "Can you see the eye patch I'm wearing on my left eye?" the old woman asked. "Gwendala has Enchanted Eyes. She can see the Past and Future." Lylan mentioned again. "And guess what, She can time travel." he whispered. "I really thought time traveling didn't exist. But Seriously?! So if that's the case, Are there things I shouldn't need to know?" I whispered back. "You're right, I have the ability to see the past and the future." It looks like the old witch heard what we were talking about. "Oh hey, I'll just leave you for a while and I'll just finish this slice of potatoes so I can prepare food for you." response of the old woman. She courteously letn us a chair that we could seat and was close to the waffle door of her design while Gwendala prepared the food she was cooking in the large cauldron. Just like in
Chapter 50A False PremonitionCarter's POV: "Don't worry. Lylan and your other friends will be your companions on your journey. May the merciful Most High beings above bless you. I leave the future of the world to you." Gwendala then turned her back and sat on her rocking chair. Lylan and I went out from Gwendala's witch hut. We had a serious talk as we walked back to the Ministry. "You know Carter, I was so worried I couldn't find that amulet of mine. I've been working hard to find it for months! Then here's the amulet! Just in front of me. But too bad, that I can't take it just yet! That is just so unfair!" Lylan complained. "I don't know what is really happening. But until now, another unresolved question is for me to about to discover. I thought If I'd know about my future, It would all make sense but I didn't get any answers when we visited that old witch. It's just even worse. There's a lot of missing context. Especially, It a
Chapter 80Epilogue (2): ArganosSomeone's POV: "Have you seen Azerin?" I spoke in a demanding tone, as far as I am concerened, I couldn't find him anywhere at the Ministry, since right after the chaos and madness of Peculiars getting in mind control of somewhat sort a parasite that turns them into zombies and invoking themselves to use their powers out of their control. I tried so search for him and yet I rushed to meet Gwendala here at the site, on what she had told me to where I can meet her. She wasn't at her hut. But she had already forseen the future that I will pay visit. I still am not yet quite in use to this female voice of mine - or more so perhaps Anastella's voice. But I have no choice as I am using her body to fulfill my task, and that is to ful
Chapter 79Epilogue (1): A New BegginingCarter's POV: "Sometimes what is real is something that you cannot see" A sentence I saw written in front of the door.Come to think of it, I agree with this.Like the air for instance, we can neither see nor touch it, but it is real and it exists. I was just about to walk in the room. I held the doorknob and turned it. But I was surprised that there was a person behind it who was going to do the same thing. "Mr. Wister? What a surprise! A morning bird getting ready for school, don't you think?" Remember the time he asked me what sort of powers I wanted? Yes, that's him.His name is Mr. Rubians, and he teaches literature and mythology. I wasn't supposed to think about it any more, but I remembered that memory that
Chapter 78The Final Chapter: Everything you see ain't always what it seemsCarter's POV: The stranger slowly walked towards my direction and pointed his index finger with his long sharp nail on my chest while saying "Who are you beings, you mean? Young one. Let me just remind you, we are not from Earth." I just looked at the old man's long nails and at my chest, A little faint of spark suddenly appeared from my chest. I felt a little tingles. Something was forming and activating from my chest.A hollographic crystal was coming out of me. I felt my chest expanding and I felt like my energies are being sucked away. I fell down on my knees, as my strength was slowly decreasing. Because of that, I just fell to the ground. I could no longer stand and get up.Just like I felt when I removed my amulet. "Your body has absorbed the powe
Chapter 77A Fatal ReliefCarter's POV: "Run ...!" Lylan shouted. We all followed what Lylan told us to do and we ran towards the exit but Lyzzan stopped us. "Why run? But we can escape through this portal?"suggested Lyzzan. Shaking with trepdiation, we did nothing but enter the portal one by one.I was the last to enter. I was waiting for the crystal to hit on my Grimoire. Since it was a crystal I got from Gwendala, no doubt this crytal shard is important and I can't leave it all stuck on the stone golem's forehead.I have a strong feeling I might still use this in the future so I waited for it. "Carter! What are you waiting for?! The place is crumbling! You have to hurry! And I can't keep my portal open for long! I'm almost at my limit!" Lyzzan shouted
Chapter 76Siblings ReunionCarter's POV: "You have no idea how we've been through! It was a wild goose chase!" Ricky sighed after ending his story about their journey. "Wow! I can't believe I finally found you, both of you! I was so worried, thinking that maybe you two are gone for good!" "More of like, we found you too!" opposed Sandra. "No! More like we found us!" Ricky exclaimed. The three of us hugged again. It also took a long time before we could see each other again, I could hardly let go of my arms to them. I don't want them to be separated from me again. Never. I will protect them at all cost, even if it cost my life.I love my siblings so much, more than anything. Even though I am not related to them, they mean a lot to me and I value them so much. Especially Mom of course, the only lady in the world who
Chapter 75So Close and yet so FarThird POV: Flashback Ricky enthusiastically started summarizing every single detail they went through. After they were swooped by the Griffins, they met Amarra. She wanted to take them back to where they were taken but they found out her hometown was sabotaged by then elven bandits. That is where Ricky and Sandra were kidnapped by Princess Nimue - The shadow princess. Luckily they managed to escape from the hands of the evil princess. Three little identical dwarves went to chase Ricky and Sandra. Unfortunately they failed to catch them. After that, that was where then they got lost into the dark woods and found Lincoln. They were dumbfounded and got confused how did he end up in the realm of Encrest without having any memories of the past. The three of them were clueless about the idea but then agreed to find out the answers and search for Carter if they work together. Later
Chapter 74Proving your WorthThird POV: The Giant Stone golem's empty eyes that were filled with darkness suddenly glistering with fire inside. It suddenly unleashed its power. It blazed with intense fire all over his body which made the remaining water boil from the place and evaporate fast, turning into steam. It was a sudden increase in temperature as the Stone Golem roared louder than a lion, and scarier than a dinosaur. The Giant was in great fury knowing that we were about to take the most possessed treasure that the Stone golem's trying to protect - Which is the forbidden book. I was terrified, knowing by the fact us three alone couldn't stand a chance with this stone giant. Krystelle summoned her vines from under the ground to strangle the giant stone golem. It spare Carter some time to steal the forbidden book from where it was placed but the stone giant had its eyes over it protecting it at all cost and had great amount of p
Chapter 73The Guardian BeastCarter's POV: "No one can hear us here! You haven't thought about it yet?! I want to hit you in the face, seriously!" Amarra let Krystelle remind us that our voices cannot reach the outside of this room and that the rushing flood of water that was already at our waist was even louder when the three of us shouted. I suddenly thought of an Idea that would bring Krystelle in a conscious state. The water overflowed quickly because apart from the stone pillar mermaid, the other three stone carved pillars also spewed water so instead of stepping on the ground below we couldn't do it because the water lifted us up to the ceiling and we started to float and swim like a frog. But we have not yet reached the top of the cave. It was only halfway through before we reached the top of the Cave. "Hey, Krys! Instead of whining like a lunatic brat that seemd like to escape from the assylum, why not use your powers to break this wall
Chapter 72The Wrong LeverCarter's POV: What Amarra was supposed to say was interrupted when I contradicted her by requesting "Just say it again. Please." Amarra sighed in frustration. "Fine. We can see the reflection of ourselves through the mirror but we cannot touch our reflection. Through light, reflection can bounce through diverse directions by the use of the mirror and-" "Okay stop!" I suddenly stopped him. I and Krystelle both gasped. We looked at each other, like a sign of unified thought. "Through Light! Reflection can bounce through diverse by the use of the mirror!" We were joyously exclaiming as we spoke together. "That's it! The answer is light! We can clearly see it but we cannot touch it. It can bounce through diverse directions because light can be reflected! And it doesn't make a sound! We answered the riddle! Yay!" Krystelle and I high-fived and I jumped from too much excitement then hugged.<
