Chapter 55
Nation OverviewThird POV:Kingdom of Salnor - The oldest nation in Encrest who not only survive throughout the millennium. But also experience different periods of Encrest. If it were to be discovered by modern day Earth, it will become the talk of the century and possibly outrank japan for the title of “Oldest country”. But don’t be fooled by the kingdom old age as the old saying goes “Don’t judge the book by its cover”. For they are the third strongest out of the five major nations of Encrest. They’re also the important figures and protectors of Encrest.
Despite having the moniker of "Not all kings last forever, nor does kingdom rule forever", it is remarkable as to how the kingdom of Salnor survive for such a long period of time, and hasn't experience their downfall yet, just like their neighboring countries. The question is how do they manage to avoid it? The answer is quite simple. "Adaptati
Chapter 56Giving Up HopeCarter's POV: "Get lost Ensorcellor, You don't belong here." said the Ensorcell in a menacing tone. "Hey! Who do you think you are to tell him that?!" Krystelle grunted. Krystelle slowly lowered her head when she noticed the Grimoire she was holding. I also noticed the mark of his Grimoire. An intertwined snake wrapping at a pole. "You're..." Krystelle gasped. "Yes. So Let me be the one to Introduce myself. I'm Rudell Diara. The Serpent Bearer and the Prime Leader of the Celestial Zodiac." "W-what?" "I don't know if you are acting dumb or what but how did you even manage to pass the test without much of doing anything? I was watching you back then." "So you were spying on me?!" "More of like keeping an eye at you." Rudell replied. "It's just the same!" "Well, it doesn't matter. I have a strange feeling about you. You're aura seems to come from ano
Chapter 57The WerewolfCarter's POV: I closed my eyes so as not to see my bitter death but then in a flash I felt someone caught my hand. I opened my closed eyes when an unknown shadow caught my eye. I could not face it because of the light from the steep sun that surrounded his side and I was dazzled so I could not fully open my eyes. The light disappeared immediately when his dark cape hit my vision until I lost consciousness. *** "Ricky...! Sandra...!" I woke up anxious. The bed was soft and the blanket was milky white. The surroundings are clear. There were photos displayed on the wall. There is sunlight coming from the window, when I look at it there are beautiful trees and plants on the opposite side. Where am I? And what happened? When I regained consciousness, I realized that I was in the dormitory where I lived. I have no clue what happened. Until a streak of a short
Chapter 58A Finx and An AnuMing's POV: "Ming Rovanos" "Yes Mr. Landeer?" I politely asked. "Where is your brother Orme? He's been out of class for a few days. Even though he is said to have passed the enrollment examination and then this is how he behaves in class. He's such an unpunctual Ensorcellor. "For countless times Mr. Landeer, He's not my brother. He is from the race of Anu while in cotrast to mine, I am from the race of Finx, you can clearly see the difference. But rest assure, I'll find him . " "Oh You'd better be, You tell him he's about to be expelled not only from class but from the institution itself if he doesn't get serious and serious." Dryad's last announcements Mr. Landeer. The class was then dismissed. I have absolutely no idea why I was assigned by Mr. Landeer in this task to be Orme's messenger. I don't know what is with that pup! It's just the beginning
Chapter 59The Scepter of EurythCarter's POV: "What is going on here?!" Raven's face was obviously confused. At least I was confused and surprised by what happened. To the speed of events, Pluche was suddenly confused when he saw that werecat girl. He suddenly just jumped off the window and ran away then Werecat girl followed to chase him. We all just looked out the window and wondered what was there? And if I'm not mistaken of hearing, Orme? So Orme is Pluche's real name. But one thing that I was so curious about is that, what is their relationship? How are they connected. "Wait, so he's an Anu all this time from Glisterbolts !? And a finx is right after chasing him !?" Perseus thought after he gained his sense of self back from being stunned. "Woah! I didn't see that coming!" Lylan was surprised and amazed at the same time after he saw how Pluche transformed into his real sel
Chapter 60Split PersonalitySomeone's POV: "Headmistress..." If it isn't Ms. Maria Lain, The Headmistress Aid of this University. I wonder what brings her here. I turned my head around and what I notice is that she brought some of the peculiars here in Anastella's office. Perhaps they are the chosen ones who passed from the test. But- "Where is Carter Wister?" "Uhm, I beg your pardon. Who is he again?" I noticed her face seemed puzzled by my question. I almost forgot that I have possessed this body. "N-nevermind that I asked." I had no cognizance of the situation and since that I possessed a human host, I have certain limits seeing everything that is happening around Encrest. Unless, If I dared to come out of this body again, I won't be having much of mana left to use. And this time for real is the last time I will use my powers and preseve it for future use, now that- "You know, Carter Wister?" one unknown
Chapter 61The Secret PassagewayCarter's POV: "Where is this headed? It's like we were going down the chambers or some dungeon." Krystelle replied as she held the torch that lit up the stairs we were walking on. "Creepy it is!" my tone of voice was mixed with trembling when I mentioned it. as we descend lower and lower I could sense that there were prying eyes watching us. When we reached the end of the stairs, another long hallway exposed us to a vast darkness. I just gasped in amazement and it was as if we were under a sewer. There is no foul stench, or any pungent odor. The area is covered with sticky cobwebs, there are also mosses that form in every corner of the hallway and the floor we are stepping on also looks damp. "Seriously, what are we even doing here?!" complained Krystelle. "Just shut up and just follow my lead. We're close." Raven replied. Eventually the big door slammed s
Chapter 62The Hyperbolic Time ChamberCarter's POV: "Wait, What premonition?" Krystelle and Perseus agreed and they were asked at the same time because they were also curious. Raven and Lylan and I looked at each other when Krystelle and Perseus asked. They looked at each other and then they also felt as if they were the only two who did not know what was happening. "So you three have been hiding it all along from us !?" Krystelle's tone rose as if mixed with annoyance, shock and frustration. "Well it's not like that ... I-" when Krystelle suddenly interrupted my speech and shouted what she wanted to say right away. "You should have told us! I thought we were friends !? How can we be supposed to help you if you keep them?" "I know, I'm sorry. I just didn't want anyone else to know and that maybe the said premonition might change if I told you." "Psh, whatever, Just spill the beans so that we can hav
Chapter 63The Hyperbolic TrainingCarter's POV: "Where are we !?" I asked as I watched my vision all over the place. I feel like I'm in another world again. All I can see is the sky. Bright blue skies and healthy clusters of dish predominate all around. When I lowered my head, I noticed that the floor I was stepping on was made of glass but at my feet it looked like a droplet of water because I could see small streams that surrounded my bare two feet. What is in the heavens is not insignificant as is what is on the earth. The appearance of the above is reflected below. "This is the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. A world beyond space, beyond time. Time does not exist here and this is where I will train you." "What !?" I received another mind-blowing information. I always know something new in this world. But I should expect that there wi
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.<
