' The underworld is a very dangerous place to tread. I wonder how Tom will manage this.' Rowan said in his mind as he walked down a narrow path.' It gets more dangerous the deeper you go down.' Invidiak responded, making Rowan frown as Invidiak wasn't helping the situation at all with those words.Rowan had been walking for how long, he couldn't tell. He came to a halt when he saw a wounded demon lying by the side of the little path, black blood all over his body."Excuse me, I wish to know if you have seen a human boy around here?" Rowan asked the injured demon.The demon struggled and raised its head, then it looked at Rowan. Rowan could see that the demon had lost an eye, and was gradually dying." Oh, the human boy? Yes, I did see him, but he wasn't in a very happy condition." The demon replied." What? Which direction did they go, where are they?" Rowan asked, trying to control the anger in him." I'll tell you, but you will do me a favor, first." The demon said.Rowan raised a
Rowan stood over a pile of demons that just attacked him. With a deep breath, he continued his ascent. The first floor greeted him with silence, broken only by the sound of his own footsteps echoing through the empty corridor. Shadows danced along the walls, whispering secrets that only the tower knew. As he reached the center of the room, a demon materialized before him, its illusory form shifting and changing.Rowan tightened his grip on his sword, ready for battle. The demon's illusion ability made it difficult to comprehend its true form, as it constantly shifted between different creatures and other illusions. Rowan relied on his instinct and training, striking out at the demon with a swift and precise motion. The creature let out a wail of pain as Rowan's blade sliced through its illusionary form, casting it into nothingness.Ascending to the second floor, Rowan was met with a wave of intense heat. Flames licked at the walls, casting a fiery glow across the chamber. A demon wit
The storm outside intensified, lightning illuminating the room as Rowan and Sam stood face to face. The rumbling of thunder echoed through the tower, matching the intensity of the impending clash.With a surge of determination, Rowan lunged forward, his sword slicing through the air. Sam swiftly dodged the attack, his lightning-imbued body allowing him to move with incredible speed. He retaliated with a bolt of lightning, aiming directly at Rowan's chest.Rowan reacted quickly, using his shadow slicer technique to create a shield of darkness. The lightning struck the barrier, dispersing harmlessly into the shadows. The room crackled with energy as Rowan pushed back against Sam's relentless assault.Their swords clashed again and again, sparks flying as steel met steel. Rowan's shadow abilities allowed him to blend seamlessly with the darkness, making it difficult for Sam to anticipate his attacks. He struck with precision and agility, aiming for Sam's vulnerable spots.Sam, however, w
Three weeks later…" Dad! Mum! Get over here!" Tom's voice echoed from down the beach. Beside him was a little house made from the sand on the sea shore.Rowan looked at Angela who was currently in his arms. " Sorry, duty calls." He said trying to stand up. However, Angela held him back. " Please stay a little longer." She held Rowan tighter.Tom who was expecting his parents to already be on the move by now shouted again, feeling impatient. " Mom?! Dad?!"Angela took a disappointed sigh, " alright, let's go." They stood up and headed down the sea shore. However, when they got closer, they noticed that Tom had a sad look on his face. They both looked down and noticed that the sea had came too close to the shore and destroyed Tom's little house." Oh.. I.. I am sorry Tom." Angela said, placing her hand on his shoulder.Tom shedded a tear. " I have been calling for you ever since to come see my house, but you all never responded, now it is destroyed." He sadly said.Rowan bent over, "
Rowan had searched for Ajatar for days and finally, he found her. However, she was in another trouble.Rowan quickly summoned his shadow and headed to Ajatar's aid. He saw three strong looking men slowly approaching them, their intentions clear."Looks like we have some unwanted guests," Rowan said to Ajatar.Ajatar turned around and saw Rowan standing. She smiled with a confused look on her face. " How do you always show up at the right time?" She asked. Rowan raised his chest. " It's all part of my abilities, I am a.. uh.. danger senser." Rowan blurted out. ' What does that mean? Is that English?' Invidiak asked.' Shhhh… you are ruining my danger sensing moment…' Rowan whispered.Rowan and Ajatar stood calmly, her hands at her sides as the men closed in around them."Hand over your valuables and leave, or else," one of the men said, brandishing a weapon.Rowan's eyes narrowed. " The world Is not even at its worst point and scavengers are already looking to take advantage of the
Rowan, Josh, and Ajatar were standing in an ancient clothes store, surrounded by racks and racks of tunics, robes, and togas. The air was filled with the musty smell of old fabrics, and the lighting was dim, adding to the ambiance of the store. Rowan was scanning the racks, while Josh was picking up a variety of clothes and trying them on.Josh looked at himself in the mirror wearing a ridiculously oversized robe. "This is perfect!" he exclaimed, doing his best to mimic the ancient Chinese emperor with a deep voice. "I look like I’m going to take over the world!”“Yeah, great, just what we need on our time-traveling mission – a teenage emperor,” Rowan chuckled.Meanwhile, Ajatar was looking for clothes that would make her look like a queen. She picked up a beautiful, flowing white dress and admired herself in the mirror. Josh, who still hadn't found the perfect outfit, was struck speechless. He stared at Ajatar, his mouth gaping.“Wow, you look beautiful!” he finally managed to say, b
Rowan, Josh, and Ajatar trudged through the dark forest, their feet heavy with exhaustion. Josh, who had been reading the map, let out a loud yawn, "I'm tired. When are we going to get there?""I am sure it's not too far now," Rowan replied, "We just need to keep moving." Rowan motivated them as a leader would.Ajatar didn't say anything, as usual. Her face was blank, but Rowan knew that she was feeling the effects of the long journey just as much as the rest of them.As they walked, Josh kept glancing at the map, muttering to himself, "I think we took a wrong turn back there.""What do you mean, 'back there'?" Rowan asked, a hint of annoyance creeping into his voice, "You're the map reader! How did we end up here if you couldn't even read a map properly?"Josh's face fell, "I'm sorry. I'll try to be more careful from now on."Rowan shook his head, "It's too late for apologies. We're out of supplies thanks to your lunch breaks every five minutes. We need to find food and water soon or
Rowan, Josh, and Ajatar trudged through the dense forest, their steps heavy with exhaustion. Rowan hacked away at the overgrown bushes with his sword while Josh, the designated map reader, shouted out directions."Left, left! No, not that left, the other left!" Josh hollered, waving the map around frantically.Ajatar rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath. She didn't have time for Josh's antics.After what felt like hours of stumbling through the woods, they finally stumbled upon the ancient temple they had been searching for. A feeling of joy washed over them as they approached the entrance.Rowan warned them of potential booby traps, and as they moved deeper into the temple, his caution proved to be well-founded. They encountered all manner of traps - tripwires, hidden pitfalls, and even a rolling boulder (which thankfully they managed to avoid).As they navigated the treacherous path, Josh continued to make a nuisance of himself with his incessant chatter."It's li
