I'm sorry if you found this a bit bland; grammarly certainly did. The story will be back in the city and it will be exciting. I hope you'll see how things turn out in the next chapter. Let's explore the rewards together. Have a great day.
On a bed, in a room somewhere in the infirmary, Aiden's eyelids fluttered. His fingers flexed ever so slightly as Miss Riordan watched him from a corner in the room with bated breath.She had been sitting there for hours by this point and at the moment, it was early in the morning. This was the first sign she saw that told her Aiden was recovering. He had been motionless, with no significant signs of life ever since she brought him out of the Alchemy room. With this tiny movement, she let out a long breath of air, she had no idea she was holding in for so long.~Aiden's figure that had been assembled opened its eyes. His eyes looked like they had a swirling grey storm in his pupils. The figure turned around, floating with all the grace in the world as it faced the red point of light that had once more cracked down the middle and was repairing itself.The difference this time was that the red point no longer looked red. It had shrunk and turned into a white glowing memory point jus
Fraser stood opposite a beast on a wide branch of the tree. The beast was standing in front of a fruit, with a purple color and Fraser could feel the uniqueness of the one fruit even though it was being covered up by the beast.The beast itself had black fur and bright yellow eyes which it pinned onto Fraser. It had four limbs and walked with all four. As it growled, Fraser already had his sword drawn and ready for a fight.The beast finally used up its patience and attacked. With a quick dash that showcased its insane speed, it swiped a claw at Fraser.Fraser, a seasoned fighter found this attack the easiest to block as he raised his sword to block the blow that was going for his head.In one smooth motion, his sword also tore through the beast's limb, disabling it very quickly.The beast landed, stared into Fraser's eyes, and began to melt into shadows. The beast was a briwyn, affinity; shadow.Fraser was surprised by this but it did not change anything because he was already retre
In a garden with trimmed hedges and a beautiful view, Prince Adrian was waiting with his hands crossed behind his back.In the distance, Princess Caitlyn approached him. She was wearing a beautiful green evening dress."Adrian", she greeted with a simple call"Caitlyn", he responded the same way."So?"Prince Adrian looked straight into Princess Caitlyn's eyes as he began to speak."I'm sorry for denying my feelings. I was so happy that you came to visit and also very sad because I uh... I saw myself lacking"Princess Caitlyn cocked her head to the side just a little bit when Prince Adrian said this."I am an outcast in the family... That's no secret but when my father proposed the marriage to you, I panicked. Truly I like you a lot but at the same time, I want to be worthy of you.A twenty-year-old 3rd Order Apprentice would be acceptable for most people but as a member of the royal family, it's unacceptable, besides, I have been stuck there for two years. I can't seem to take that s
With a hard bunch to the spine of a beast, she incapacitated it. Following this move was another leap into the air which she dropped from with another hard punch. She did this a few more times before switching back to running on the backs of the beasts as she'd done earlier.The feral beast with silver accents on its fur growled and attacked shortly after. Its teeth were shiny, looking as pretty as jewels.The girl quickly cleared the grey beasts and attacked the special beast.The first confrontation was quite literally troubling to see. The heavy punch she threw was smacked down into the ground, while the other paw came around to smack her head but it missed.The girl had used the hand that got smacked down to prop her body and push off into a spin over the beast.Attacking this beast was anything but easy because one of the grey beasts was already attacking before she could catch her breath.This time, she did not dodge its rush but chose to throw a punch at the grey beast.The spe
Aiden was walking down the road of the royal capital. He had been given his afternoon assignment. Finding the place he was going to wasn't too difficult based on the directions he got when he asked a passerby.He soon found the place he was to pick up the package. ~Artisan Duffel's workshop~He had not had enough time to find Mallory and ask who Artisan Duffel was but from the look of his shop, as well as the title to his name, Aiden guessed he was an Artisan, and a very good one if he could be a supplier to the royal palace.He knocked on the door before he entered. As he opened the door, he heard the chime of a small bell.The store had racks of artifacts displayed on both sides, while the middle was a walkway to the sales boy who was sitting farther in, directly opposite the door.Aiden quickly understood what made Artisan Duffel special. The weapons he saw all looked solid, without any blemishes.He walked over to the sales boy who had been watching him since he entered."Armor d
As Aiden made his way to the infirmary, his breathing got harder. It felt like he had a lump in his chest, weighing him down, and keeping him from taking deep breaths. The infirmary was still a few minutes away at this point.By the time he arrived outside the infirmary, there was no patience because he immediately pushed the door open. He stumbled in with his the lump of red that had grown under his neck, much bigger. It was so painful now that he was just short of screaming.A nurse noticed him and hurried over when she saw Aiden's face. He had sweat dripping from his forehead like rain."What happened?", She asked as she tried to lead Aiden to a bed to lie down, but Aiden did not budge, he only managed to choke out his request. "Please call Miss Riordan"The nurse paused for a moment before she hauled Aiden to a bed, then ran off into the hall.Aiden's eyes were shut tightly now and his teeth felt like they had cracked but he only made a groan from time to time. Thankfully, the
"Again...!!""Again...!!!"This was the prevalent sound in the clearing where two people could be seen, tangled in intense combat. A few minutes later, one of them slid back after he took a heavy blow to the side, barely blocked by the staff in his hand.He had managed to block the dual sword attack that she used against him but there was some pain, as well as some more force that he wasn't able to hold off... or so it seemed.Aiden stood up once more at the sound of the ear-piercing order, "again...!!!".Despite beating Aiden over and over again, Princess Diane still did not believe the results of the fight in the slightest. This was a result of Aiden not having full control over his strength as a second-order apprentice.Princess Diane was wielding her dual swords; training versions of them. If she used her real swords instead of the wooden ones she had right now, the fight would be over before Aiden raised his weapon.Aiden waited for the attack to come and instead of dodging or b
"Ohh, so what element is it?""..."She had barely gotten it out when a voice sounded out behind them."Get yourselves in order, we are starting immediately..."Aiden stole a look there and saw an aged-looking man who was wearing long scholarly robes."Good day, sir", Aiden greeted along with Prince Adrian and the two princesses."Hmm... Good day to you too... Get started already, I need to know what you know and what you are missing"The man ordered. Princess Diane wore a proper human look for once as she walked off to one side of the clearing."Go pick a weapon for yourself, and bring me the dual swords", she ordered as she walked away.Aiden felt the seriousness and decided to put away a part of his thoughts as he quickly got a staff and the dual swords she asked for.Aiden still had no idea who the old man was, to elicit this level of respect from the crazy princess, but he did know that the man was a serious person, quite important as well."Begin"Princess Diane did not take any
