The line in front of the city was decent-sized and it took a while before it was their turn to pay the entry fee and enter the city. Aiden read the agreement before agreeing to it and settling the fee for himself and Connor.Entering the city, they immediately smelled the change in the air. The smell of damp soil and rotting leaves was gone."We are staying here till we figure out what that crystal ball is?", Aiden said.Aiden did not expect that the response he would get was Connor questioning his statement."What crystal ball? I thought it was just a portal that brought us out here?", he asked.Aiden stopped in his tracks and looked Connor up and down before he sighed and in the nicest voice ever, he explained the situation to Connor."I want you to try to sense your elemental seed. You are the only one who knows how you do that, but when you do, let me know what you feel", Aiden said.Connor closed his eyes and tried to sense his elemental seed as Aiden had directed and a few secon
Fraser stood in front of the giant doors of the throne room as he had done before. Kyllan stood beside him and at that moment he had just finished announcing their presence to the Queen."That feeling never seems to go away, does it? This throne room has been here since the beginning of the empire's existence… As far as the history of the elven people goes, if we want to put a period on it"The doors opened very smoothly despite the intimidating sound of huge doors grinding against the ground they were on.Kyllan and Aiden walked into the throne room side-by-side. It was at this moment that the beast made its presence known when it let out a deep growl that echoed through the throne room.Fraser turned to look at the beast and the look on his face conveyed the exhaustion he felt considering the beast's behavior at that moment."Alyssa, at least reign it in, this is the throne room", Fraser said.Alyssa, the white-coated beast was having none of that, because she huffed and puffed smok
Aiden looked around, surprised by what he was looking at. He was standing in a memory that he recognized, and this memory was one in which he was the main character.From a rear view which was simply Connor's view of the situation when it happened, Aiden watched himself fight off a bunch of the beasts that had attacked them during their travels.Like projections, Aiden walked past the memory into another. As he did, the memories became older and older, till he was no longer in them."Okay, that's enough", Aiden said as he stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes.This he did for only a moment before he suddenly vanished from the place. His field of view blurred for a moment, then he found himself standing in a dark space. Not far away from him was a bright gem-like object, shining into the dark."Here we are…", Aiden smiled.Looking into the gem, Aiden saw the crystal slowly float out of the elemental seed. Connecting it to the elemental seed was a flow of light, some flow of energy.
Bizarre as it was, Aiden finally found his balance. The rumbling continued to rock everything and Aiden tried to find the source of the rumbling with the zoom his eyes possessed.At first, he found nothing, the rumbling forced him out of balance and this in turn made standing upright difficult. Standing stably was also the best way to view things properly, and the lack of this variable made his sigh tumultuous at best.One of the waves of rumbles was so strong that it sent Aiden up into the air, and in the moment of free fall that came after, Aiden found that he could stabilize his vision.This was a solution handed to him on a silver platter, and in the situation that he was in, not taking advantage of it would be idiotic.And so, he took full advantage of it. No sooner had he landed, that he jumped up again, this time in a much more controlled and stable manner.This move yielded great results as his sight pierced through the tree line and he saw the first clue as to what was causin
Chip looked at Connor who was riled up and ready to go for a moment, then his solemn expression turned into a smile.Nothing changed on the outside, except the smile, but there was a change in the atmosphere that left Connor with the feeling of an incoming storm.This feeling did not bother him as much, but it put a damper on his excitement, forcing him to focus. Chip scrutinized Connor for a few seconds after this happened and his smile grew wider following that..."Now we can have a fair fight", he said just as took off like the wind.Connor who had taken a good fight stance saw this the moment it happened, and he was throwing his retaliation immediately after.This time, there was none of the fast, multiple punches-per-second drills, because the two of them were blown apart by the force of their attacks.Neither of them seemed to notice this, because they were at each other's throat once more, punching again, only to be blown apart, forcing them to stop themselves from the sliding
While Connor fell into deep thought, two girls were standing in a clearing in the forest, surrounded by a group of arcanas... However, despite the obvious fact that they were outnumbered, the two girls showed no reaction to this, looking at the people who had chosen to besiege them with a mix of indifference and mild amusement.This seemed to annoy the group of arcanas and their expressions took a sour turn. It appeared that this standoff had started a long time before this moment.Three of the arcanas stood in front of the two of them, looking intimidating, however, they failed to get the reaction they wanted from the two girls.They also seemed to be getting frustrated by this and began gearing up to attack the two girls… Their weapon of choice was the two biggest members of the team. Muscular, tall, and in every way what they appeared to be. Unfortunately, this made no difference because the two of them remained indifferent to the massive threat.This was the straw that let all hel
A distance away from the clearing that had near two dozen unconscious people strewn around in different positions, the two girls were moving through the forest rapidly.They only appeared for a few seconds every time before rapidly phasing away from the spot, only to appear a distance away and repeat the same thing all over again.In that short moment that they appeared, the sight of one of the girls being carried by the other was seen… The first girl who had gone crazy in beating the group of arcanas into the ground was been carried by the other girl who had stayed on the sidelines and watched the fight instead.She was also the one who took over and sent the two leaders flying when the first girl passed out just before she delivered a head-pounding blow to the leaders.The first girl looked anything but alright at that moment… In that short moment before they phased away… She could be seen in an unconscious state with her body showing a green tint.The color was a light green when t
While this was happening, Aiden was in his own hell. While he had managed to keep the lava away while holding the cliff he standing on together, this was not a permanent solution, and the situation was worsening with every passing moment.The lava flow grew and the amount of water he could draw was not enough to cool the lava enough to make them solidify completely before a fresh stream flowed over them.This was in addition to the fumes that he was creating from the water cooling the lava.To say that it was quickly becoming a hindrance would be an understatement... The fumes were obscuring his vision as well as contaminating the air, thereby making it hard to breathe.The situation was tough and things were looking grim with Aiden who was at that moment wheezing and coughing violently.Suddenly, the sound of continuous cracking could be heard... Aiden pulled himself up to react accordingly, but his situation had gotten so bad that he ended up just coughing instead.The problem showe
