Cian stood not far from the kitchen door, staring at the starless sky, 'What are you doing?' a voice asked, Cian didn't need to turn back to know whose voice it was, he could recognize Asher's voice in a crowd. 'The sky is gloomy as today' Cian said as Asher stood beside him, something else caught Asher's attention. Cian followed Asher's eyes direction to see what Ashe was looking at. Immediately, Asher covered Cian's eyes with his palm, 'You're too young to see it' Asher said but eventually Cian peeled Asher's palm away from his eyes and held it instead. 'Isn't that Fergus' dad?' Cian asked 'Those are Fergus dads' Asher corrected'They are disgusting' Cian said and for the first time Asher pulled his hand out of Cian's grip angrily. Cian turned to Asher surprised, Asher eyebrow furrowed, 'Everything disgust you, Everything irritates you, you only consider how you feel about things and don't have even consider how others feel' Asher said and went back inside the house. Cian di
Cian curiosity led him far away from the house, unknown to him Fergus' dad's went into the house to take Fergus home before the invasion. After walking for a while, Cian decided to head back home, on reaching there he saw the commotion and didn't go close, he saw Drustan coming out of the house with unconscious Sean in his arms. Cian watched all these in shock, the spot he stood gave him a clearer view of his house but they couldn't see him and everyone was all panicking to notice his scents. Clint didn't see Clint nor his parents which only meant one thing, they were inside with whatever thing everyone was running from. The thought of his family being in grave danger made Cian panick, he felt his body temperature rise and suddenly the house was on fire, literal fire. A piercing ringing sound hurt his ears, he cling to his ear in pain, soon the ringing stops. All sounds were replaced by muffled voices, it was like he became partially deaf. The witches tried to put off the fire but
'Aunt Valerie has arrived' Raymond announced and soon a woman with long wavy hair appeared at Cian's room door. The first thing she did when she stepped into the room was to pull Cian into a hug, she hugged him like her life depends on it. 'I'm sorry' Cian cried, Valerie pulled out of the hug and tilted her head to see Cian's face, 'Why are you apologizing, you did nothing wrong, nothing was your fault' Valerie stated cupping Cian's face with her palm, using her thumb to wipe out his tears. 'Dress up and come down for breakfast, you need to eat something' Valerie said, pushing everyone out and closing the door behind her. They ate breakfast in silence, an irritable silence, 'I'm sorry' Cian said when Valerie dropped her fork, letting it fall on the plate making a clanging sound. 'I'm not angry at you, I'm just frustrated, is this how you guys have breakfast or you not on speaking terms?' Valerie asked folding her arms over her chest while glaring at them.'It's not always like th
'Why?' Cian asked drawing Asher out of his trance, 'Be-because Sean is going to contact Arnold and maybe you can get a new one' Asher said as he awkwardly let go of Cian and went back to the dinning.'Sean, contact Arnold, Cian can't find the bangles' Asher said.'The last I heard, Arnold doesn't use a phone' Raymond reminded'There ought to be a way to contact him' Asher said bitting his lower lip'There is, write down your message on a paper' Ordered Sean. Asher did as he was told, Sean crumbled the paper between his palm, closed his eyes and chanted a short spell. The paper burnt and disappeared.'He will be here anytime from now regarding how urgent your information is' Sean said. A portal opened in front of the mansion and there was a knock on the entrance door, Asher was about to get the door and the door suddenly opened. He looked at everyone on the table and they all shrugged their shoulders showing that it wasn't them. His eyes met Cian whose attention was towards the door.
'His name is...' 'Wait, do you heat that?' Asher interrupted'Hear what?' Cian asked 'A roar, a lion roar' Raymond said'The beast, it's back' Clint said in terror'This time, it's not in school, is it near here?' Cian asked not hearing the beast roar'No, it's still far away, in the woods' Sean answered.'You kids, stay here, I'm going to face it, alone' Arnold said putting more stress as he said "alone", he stood up from the couch and headed for the door. 'How will you track it down when you can't hear it?' Raymond asked making Arnold turn back to them'I'm aren't called a sorcerer for noticing' Arnold said bringing out a fold paper from his satchel that hung over one of his shoulder. He walked to the dinning table and unfolded the paper, it was a map.'Location spell' Valerie asked and he nodded. Arnold brought out a dagger from his satchel, he cut his palm with the knife, squeezed out the blood on the map. Placing his hand over the map, he chanted a spell causing the blood to
Dinner was lively and fun, filled with laughter, even from Sean. It was surprising for Valerie since it was the first she saw Sean make a facial expression in a long time. Valerie had decided to leave after making dinner but the boys persuaded her to stay for dinner with them, she couldn't resist Raymond's puppy eyes. She happy to see her son lower the walls he had built around him and let people in, by people meaning his childhood friends. Valerie left after dinner and everyone retired to their bedroom, as usual Asher followed Cian into his room. It was a bit awkward for the first time between them. Asher was nervous of how Cian would treat him now that he remembers everything. 'Do you want me to move to my room or....' Asher voice trailed off'I never said you should leave beside I doubt your room is clean' Cian said, lightening up the awkwardness between them. 'I don't sleep there, it's lonely' Asher said 'Coming from a loner' Cian chuckled. There was a knock on the door, 'Cian
They toured the house, the dinning table was litter with both old and broken plated. Cian went to his old room, it was how he remembered it but some properties were burnt, the white mattress was filled with dust and was burnt in some areas. In the huddle of the white mattress, he saw something that brought smile to his face, Ha-ha. Ha-ha was a plastic dinosaur, it's tail was burnt during the fire, adding black to it's green color, Asher came into the room. The room holds many memories of the days Asher spent with Cian when Cian was sick, visiting this room brought back many memories he had forgotten, this was the room in this house Asher was always happy to enter. 'Asher do you remember Ha-ha?' Cian asked stopping Asher's train of thoughts 'Hmm' Asher answered, smiling at the remembrance of Ha-ha. 'You used to hid it from me so I could take my shots' 'You loved Ha-ha that you would do anything to have it back beside it also helped Walter' Asher said glaring at Ha-ha 'But it wa
'...East, West, North and South are the four main regions...' Professor Craig, the Geography Professor explained. Cian was buried deep in his thoughts, he couldn't shake off the feeling that the Elite might be somewhere watching their every move and waiting patiently for an opening to attack again. Cian didn't feel the need to listen in geography class since Sean had given him the basic explanation.The four main regions are occupied by supernaturals but the most populated supernatural were the vampires, werewolves and witches. The werewolves have always been territorial but they became more accommodative due to the evolution. Each regions have academies, unlike Werwiva Academy, there are separate academies for the three major races while the other minor races like elf and fairies are advised to attend a diverse academy like Werwiva Academy. Diverse academies are the most expensive academies in the supernatural world. Whereas, underprivileged minor races who couldn't afford these aca
