Caroline was already in the living room, walking back and forth, when Jake arrived at the mansion. Sebastian, meanwhile, was just in the kitchen looking at the repairs made there. Mr. White welcomed Jake and asked if he liked anything, but Jake smiled and thanked the old butler for being thoughtful. Then he went directly to the living room, where he asked her sister to wait for him. “Big brother, finally, you’re here,” Caroline said before running and hugging him tight. “Is it true that you’ll send me abroad?”Jake sighed before nodding. Then he let his sister sit on the couch first. “The situation here is getting worse. And it could be dangerous as well,” Jake said. “I know you don’t want to leave, but I need to protect you.”“But how about you? Aren’t you going with me? You said it's dangerous here.”“Someone needs to be here to take care of our business,” he replied while smiling at Caroline. “I can’t leave.”Caroline’s lips pouted, and she glared at Jake. “Then I’ll just stay h
Jake took his sister to the border of the city, and again they said goodbye to each other. He sent Gary, the former bodyguard of their father, and four more men to protect his beloved sister. He made that as brief as possible. He didn’t want it to be emotional. After making sure that Caroline passed the border safely, Jake and Sebastian headed to their main office, where Archris was already waiting for them. He also told him about his encounter with Ms. Green.“Did you call the mayor to come tonight?” he asked Sebastian.The man nodded his head. “He said he’d come.”“Good.”Jake called Ms. Hanson and told her to prepare an announcement for the postponement of work for at least five days starting tomorrow. He also asked the secretary to include in the announcement that all of their employees must follow instructions from the city government. And he ordered her to send it through emails and text messages to all of their employees.“Are you sure about this? I mean, how can you just tru
Karlow was sitting on top of a building with closed eyes and was breathing slowly when an evil presence suddenly made him squirm. It was so bad that he remembered Tharanos, the evil entity that ruled over Eldramoria.He opened his eyes and looked in the direction where he felt the presence. He followed it, which led him to the empty city park.He casually walked around, still looking for the source of the magic presence he could feel. But he didn’t find anything. However, when he stepped in there, he felt a lot of different faint magic energy, which made him shake his head. “Where are these magic energy presences coming from?” he asked himself while looking around. He was about to walk away when he felt a familiar magic energy. He could not pinpoint whose energy it was, but he was sure it was from a shapeshifter, and it was the next strong presence next to the evil one he felt first. And that the two magic energies are just in the same spot.“Lyca… Could it be hers?”He kept looking
Karlow stood up. His shoulders were shaking, and there was a scary grin on his face. He spread his arms, and the bastard swords in his hands turned into rapiers. He then cast a spell while locking his eyes on Dragon and his swords and arms were gradually surrounded by swirling flames.His eyes turned orange, and they gleamed like stars. And the lion tattoo on his back roared.“I won’t make this too long, Dragon,” he said while smirking. “I don’t like wasting any time.”“Be my guest,” Dragon replied with a smile.Karlow vanished, and he appeared on the right side of Dragon. Dragon put up a defensive stand, but Karlow vanished in front of him and attacked him from the left. He was able to raise his guard in time, but the burning rapier grazed his left cheek and ear, causing that side of his face to bleed.Dragon stepped back, but a smile could still be seen in his face. That made Karlow’s face darken, and he sent a barrage of attacks in front of Dragon using his two rapiers. Those attac
Two years ago in the heavily populated city of Mardaque. The sun was shining bright and its heat was radiating outwards into a bright day. People were under their umbrellas, and even a small movement could make anyone sweat. But despite the hot summer weather, people were still on the streets, doing their best to feed themselves and their families.And in a dark and secluded alley, a young man suddenly woke up. He squinted his eyes and grunted loudly as he pulled himself to sit up. He looked around and he grimaced when he noticed where he was, in a filthy place where garbage were thrown.“Where the hell am I?” he asked while looking around, his eyes were still squinting and all he could hear was people shouting and blaring horns of cars. “I was killed. Is this hell?”“I also wished I woke up there,” said the female voice. He jerked back and looked to his left side, where he heard the voice, and saw a young woman with tanned skin and long straight black hair eating a fried chicken le
“I really hate that form of yours, Lyca. It ruins your beautiful face,” Dragon said while slowly approaching his former friend. He had this evil grin on his face. “I hate it, because I suddenly remembered the time we first met two years ago.”Then he kicked Karlow, who was already not moving and was just breathing heavily, in the head, causing the man to collapse on the floor completely. “I could’ve ended this man's agony if you just didn’t butt in,” he said, then stepped on the knight’s head. “But now, I just changed my mind. I’ll watch him die, and I’ll enjoy it.”“Draco, please." Lyca slowly returned to being a normal woman. “Stop this madness already.”“It’s Dragon… not Draco!” the man shouted. “I told you already, the Draco you know has been dead for a long time! And you know what I hate more about you? Huh?”Lyca didn’t answer. She just looked at Dragon with watery eyes.“Answer me!” the man shouted while stomping harder on Karlow’s head. Karlow groaned in pain. He didn’t even
A year after the Magic Society was formed,“Hey, Draco! Where are you?!” Archris burst into the headquarters of the Magic Society. He was stopped by other members, but they couldn’t do anything against him. He went upstairs and looked in every room, but he couldn’t find Draco. “Were you looking for me, little brother?"Archris turned in the direction of the voice, and there he saw Draco, glaring at him. “What do you need? It’s already late,” Draco asked before entering the room and closing the door. “And I told you, I am Dragon. Stop calling me Draco.”He sneered and stepped in front of Draco. “I don’t care. For me, you’re Draco, and I’ll call you that way.”Draco didn’t have any reaction to that. He just stared into Archris’s eyes. “Were you serious when you talked to everyone through your telepathy? Dominating and ruling this world?” Archris asked. His veins were pulsing in his temple, and he was clenching his fists. “We talked about that already, right?!”Draco glared at him bef
“I hate it! Why do memories keep coming to my mind?!” Dragon said while grinning widely and shaking his head. He was still sitting on the ground, holding his side, and not moving. “Brother… I knew this would eventually happen.”“I am not your brother!” Archris shouted. “Not anymore! Lyca still hoped that we could save you from that hatred of yours. But I guess this is the end of that hope!”Lyca grunted, then fell on her knees. Archris rushed towards her and carried her to a wall, where she leaned against it.“I am sorry, I am late,” Archris said, then he put two pills in her mouth. “Take these. These will help you regain your energy.”“Are these the famous supplements that Jake made?”He nodded, then handed two more to Lyca. “Here. These will help Karlow. Give it to him once I start the fight.”“He’s poisoned. I don’t know if this can help him.”“Just give it to him. The professor said that it could heal all abnormalities in someone’s health.”Lyca’s face brightened. “I can feel my m
