Abraham let out a sigh of relief, “thank goodness you’re fine, that was a risky game you tried to play.” He said.He was out of breath, his body was starting to become old and weary and he couldn’t really use his secret art as he usually does before.“Where did you learn that spell from?” Abraham asked Lyon before they could get into how he got the mark on his neck.“When I was in a domain and I defeated some mages, I got the power.” Lyon explained, he never thought that a day would come when he would use that skill.“The spell felt like it had been a part of me for a while so it was easy to learn it.” Lyon finished and Abraham nodded in understanding.“What happened to them?” Lyon asked as he pointed at his passed out friends but Elen only shrugged.“They’ll be fine,” she assured him and Abraham nodded, “they both weren’t strong enough to stomach Abraham’s technique.” She finished.“What is Chelsey doing here?” He asked and raised an eyebrow when Elen handed him a peck of tissues.Sh
“These attacks are getting a little too intense, what do we do?” Lyon asked Abraham breathlessly.It’s been days since they all chose to work together and he knew that he had gotten more and more stronger but he still hadn’t eradicated the Shadows.“We’ll do something about it when you’re strong enough to fight them.” Abraham responded, handing Lyon a water bottle.So as not to get too distracted, he had suggested that they use another of the estates Lyon had for practice.Practicing in the same house Kelvin and Chelsey was could serve as a huge distraction for him and that was something they couldn’t afford.To reduce the level of attacks, Abraham had made sure to do as Lyon had suggested and he had sacked all the maids.Leaving the guards back at home with the girls and Kelvin. Lyon had thought that would at least put the attacks on hold but it didn’t.“I’m exhausted.” He confessed as he drank from the bottle Abraham had given to him. There was another thing Abraham didn’t tell him.
“Why didn’t you tell me about Chelsey?” Lyon asked Elen as soon as he walked into the research room where she and Kelvin worked.“You had my number and I specifically told you to let me know once anything strange was up and this happened but you didn’t tell me?”His teeth gritted really hard and he clenched his fist to keep his anger at bay so that what happened in the estate wouldn’t repeat itself.He couldn’t risk it and Elen seemed to be able to figure it out because all she did was apologize.“We didn’t tell you because we thought you didn’t need the distraction.” She explained but that just flew right above Lyon’s head.“That’s true, Lyon,” Kelvin chimed in and Lyon couldn’t believe that he didn’t notice his best friend at first.“Kelvin.”“We didn’t tell you because we wanted to avoid something like this,” Kelvin continued talking as he walked closer to Lyon.“You have this huge responsibility and we’d be damned if we added more to it, we didn’t mean to keep it a secret from you
Lyon smiled, he was also glad that he came especially since he didn’t almost find out that Chelsey was hurt.All those days while he’s been training, all he had on his mind was her but he didn’t want to mention it.When Elen had called about the Shadow’s attack, the first person he was worried about was Chelsey but again he didn’t want to talk about it because he didn’t want them to misunderstand.Hell, he had feelings for her but wasn't ready to admit it but after what had just happened, the last thing Lyon wanted was to care about what anyone thinks.“I’m glad I’m here too.” He responded after a while of silence and she snuggled more into him. He had tried to avoid her but like a moth to a flame, they kept getting drawn to each other.“How are you?” Chelsey asked in a low tone, her voice was hoarse and she was still recovering from the attack that had almost taken her vocal cords too.“I’m fine,” Lyon responded, “I haven’t gotten as strong as I want to be so for now I have to keep t
“There are different types of Shadows, Lyon, that’s why I keep telling you that you’re not strong enough to take them on.” Abraham answered.Lyon had asked the question that was festering in his mind was he was alone with Elen and Abraham and now he knows he’s right.The shadow that had attacked Chelsey was different and he just for the life of him doesn’t understand why they keep coming now.He has a lot to learn, he has a lot to fight and he’s just knowing about the different kinds of Shadows that could possibly exist.“The Dark Shadows was the one that attacked you and also the one that possessed that maid but the one that attacked Chelsey.” Elen paused.“I’m still trying to get my facts right because in all the books I’ve read and research I’ve done, it didn’t mention that kind of shadow.” “Although they have the same thing in common, the only one recorded in the books, the one that attacked the chosen ones in the past, was the Dark Shadow.”“All shadows have a lot in common and
“Easy for you to say,” Lyon sighed and at the same time, he yawned. He knew he needed to rest but after figuring out a way to deal with this lethal shadow, he would go back to training.“No one is looking to kill you because you tipped the balance of the world.” He finished as he slouched on the chair.“How long until you transfer all the files?” He asked, directing the question to Elen who only shrugged because she doesn’t really like talking when working.Lyon’s mind is occupied with a lot of things. He had no idea how long he would be in the estate for training his body and mind to get stronger.And although this place isn’t that far from the estate, Abraham wouldn’t let him have any visitors or permit him to see anyone.He sighed again, he hadn’t really been sleeping and now all of these things happening was going to get him more worked up than usual.He needed to make the most of his visit. He needs to make sure that he doesn't regret anything while he is away training.“Abraham?
Lyon had questions, multiple questions but before he could get the chance to ask the Sovereign Sorcerer, he was back in his room.His knees felt so weak that they buckled forward and he fell. His breathing was paced too and it was as though he’d walked a long distance.His heart raced and Lyon tried to walk to the bed but he couldn’t stand so he decided to lay on the floor there for a while.Tons of questions roamed his mind and he couldn’t believe that he had just been to where the trinities came from.“Welcome back.” Familiar voices scared him out of his wits. He didn’t need to look, he already knew who they were and he was just thinking about them.“That’s where you guys come from, huh?” Was the first thing that came out of his mouth despite the tons of things he was thinking about.“The Sovereign sorcerers want us to let you have this,” one of them said before extending his hand, Lyon managed to stand up as he stared at each trinity.He touched the extended palm and he felt someth
Lyon’s eyes opened and he felt his confusion heightening. It was almost as though he was hallucinating and just when he thought it couldn’t be bad, it got worse.Hurriedly, he left the bed and his feet paddled to the mirror in his room. Lyon stripped in front of the mirror as he stared at his body.“He must have attacked just like it did the last time.” He said to himself as he turned to look at his back but there was nothing.His skin was as clear as it could be and there was not a single scar or wound on his body. He sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose and groaned.Tired, Lyon put his pyjamas back on and strode to the kitchen but with each step he took, he felt like he was being watched.Goosebumps filled his skin and Lyon drew in a sharp breath, holding it in and stopping in his tracks. His eyes closed and he felt himself burning up again.Something was terribly wrong and he wanted to find out what that thing was. The watching was incessant and another thing that was strange was
