Sora put his hood over his head looking down as he made his way to his room whilst preparing to face the reality of Ryo's absence when he heard a loud shout from across the hallway.
"Halfling!"
Not today, gods!
Sora turned and began to walk back the way he had come without looking up to see who had shouted. He didn't need to.
He could hear the sounds of the footsteps that approached, and he quickened his steps too.
Sora broke into a run but he was knocked off balance as a strong force tangled his legs, making him trip and fall to the ground and it gave enough time for them to catch up to him.
Dai grabbed him from behind and pulled him up as Marce broke the water force still tangled around his legs.

I didn'tI didn't kill himHe's not deadTears poured down Sora's face as several thoughts ran through his mind.I killed someone. I killed Konan.Gods how!?Sora ran into the woods and kept running till his legs gave out and he crashed to the ground. He lay on the wet floor and tried not to process anything but the thoughts kept coming.Sora struggled and pushed himself up, staggering through the woods till he found a clearing and sat underneath a tree.He buried his face in his hands and closed his eyes, but the image of Konan's lifeless body didn't leave his head. "What have I done?"His life couldn't be any worse. From being attacked by a soul eater and losing Ryo to battling for his life, now he had killed a mage and would get kicked out of the Academy."I didn't kill him." He repeated
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage The Hunters
"Come along young man."Z walked ahead of Sora who seemed too stunned by his surroundings. Never in his life had he thought he would walk through the Hunters' area. It was completely different from what he had imagined. For some reason he expected the area to be fully dark-themed and had imagined seeing dark creatures with very serious-looking mages everywhere but this was different. The Hunters he saw looked like normal mages. Even Z seemed normal compared to what he has imagined.They walked until they came to a large room with a serving stand by the entrance. The Hunters' dining hall was small compared to the hall he was used to in the academy, but it was functional.They got meals, and both sat at a table close to the door. They ate in silence, but Z seemed more interested in getting her day over with. Sora wanted to ask questions about the mission she had been on, but he kept quiet.After she wa
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage I'll bring you back
"Hey"Sora held Ryo's hand in his and squeezed tightly. His hands were cold against his but he did not mind."I miss you and I wish you were here… I try to imagine you're out on your first mission and I'm just here waiting till you will get back. You will get back won't you?""My life has been crazy wild since you went on your mission and you'd be so shocked by how much change there has been since then… I went to the Hunters' area. Can you believe it? I took the route through the woods… it's tricky actually, I see why we couldn't find it easily, and I'm not sure I even know the route anymore."Sora smiled to ease the tightness in his throat."and I almost killed someone, too.""Guess who?" After a quick dramatic pause, Sora added; "Konan."The thought of killing anyone has never crossed his mind. Asides not bein

He struggled to get out of bed and moved to open the door.Seeing Z at the door in uniform awakened his senses completely.She glanced at him from head to toe. "Meet me in the training area in ten minutes."She walked away immediately, and he was left standing dumbfounded. He hurried and freshened up before hurrying out of the room.He had moved into the Hunters' area the day before, after seeing Ryo. The move had been quick and effortless, as a result of not having much to do.Sora walked quickly until he came to the open area they had passed through his first time in the Hunters' area.Z stood there already waiting and before her was a bowl on a stand. It reminded him of the first practical class he attended. The beginning of his shame and it left a bitter taste in his mouth.Quickly adjusting himself, he went and stood before Z, bowing his head slig

Days had passed, and with training after training but nothing changed. Sora could tell Z was getting frustrated with him from the amount of times she would put her hair in a ponytail and take it out within the time frame of their training sessions. She also did a thing with her energy when she was getting impatient, she would create the tiniest string of water from the air and twirl it around her fingers as she stood anxiously waiting for him to channel energy then she wound flick it across the room out of frustration before storming out of the training area.They had tried several techniques, from breathing exercises to meditations to physical training, all to help jolt his energy from within but nothing changed. Sora himself was getting frustrated. Maybe he had imagined his energy but the images of Konan's lifeless body in the ground after his energy charge was still burned in his memory and was enough evidence to prove he had not imagined his energy.&

She shook her head; "too slow dumbass."Then she sent another and then another. Sora was alert now and moved out of the way dodging the first charge but Z's second charge met him exactly where he stepped as though it knew where he'd land.""Stop being so predictable. Do something unexpected." Z yelled from across him.More hits followed and Sora was hit with more charges than he dodged."Will you hit me already you twart! I'm getting bored."It took a while for Sora to come to terms with the fact that he could use his powers too and he sent his first charge but Z deflected it with another charge."Even a Depender would hit better than that."Sora formed a bigger water force and shot it straight at Z. She simply formed an energy shield and blocked the hit."If you think size is matters, you are even dumber than I thoug

Sora's bruises had started to heal, but his body still ached all over and the blood clot in his eye remained thick. He still couldn't believe a woman as soft looking as Z could pack such heavy punches. Z stood at least three inches shorter than Sora did, with a slightly curvy, toned olive frame which came from years of training hard and staying active.Z was beautiful in every sense of the word, from her slim figure, to her mannerisms, to how she flicked her ginger hair with so much confidence and she used all her charm to her advantage. Her punches however, weren't beautiful on her victims. She had only punched him with her hands and he ached this much, he would probably need to visit the infirmary if she punched with energy.He stood in front of his mirror examining his bruises as he ran his hands over the purplish spots on his sides then entire torso. He noticed the muscles that had started to form around his arms and body. His body was s

Sora nodded "okay.""Are you angry?""Angry?" Sora was confused. "Now?""Duh… yeah."He wan't sure of what she meant, but he answered either way;"Maybe.""Why are you angry?"Sora scanned his memory fast. "Got it."Z was taken aback. "So quick? I see you already have a good motive." Z stood in front of Sora and folded her arms, putting one foot in front of the other. "Tell me.""Tell you what?""Why you are angry?"Sora remained quiet. How do you explain that the memory of your best friend being killed by a soul eater still haunts you every night and you are on a mission to kill the strongest soul eater in a bid to save your friend without sounding mad? Sora shook his head."You won't tell me?"Sora kept mute.&nb

Not that one
The stren baritone voice Sora had heard the last time he was in Warrick’s house was a complete contrast to the person before him. He had expected an equally stern man with an intimidating build and sharp exterior but Warrick was a plum and short man with a hairline that began to recede ages ago and a huge mustache he obviously was in denial about...All qualities he knew he had seen somewhere before.“Who are you?” Warrick demanded as he moved even closer to them.“Messengers—Visitors ” Sora and Aridah replied respectively.They exchanged questioning looks and looked back at Warrick with awkward smiles“Visitors—Messengers” Once again their eyes met.Warrick raised his gun an inch higher and closer to their faces. “I will not ask again, who are you?”This time Sora looked to Aridah as if to give her the floor. “Please tell him who we are.”Aridah cleared her throat and stepped forward from behind Sora, but not close enough to be in Warrick’s line of sight. “We are messengers who are vi

“Are you sure about this?” Aridah asked Farah whilst rubbing the little boy’s head gently. “There might be nothing there.”“I’m sure. There’s nothing else for us to do here, at least there’s something to look forward to now.”“You can come with us, you know. We’re not sure where we’re going yet but at least we’d be together.”“Ari, I’m sure. We will go to the Capital to find my brother.” “And there’s no way to change your mind?”Farah moved closer to Aridah placing a reassuring arm on hers. “I know you’re worried about our safety but we’ll be fine. We will travel by day and hide by night, we’ll be fine.”Aridah sighed, accepting defeat. “Alright, but you don’t have to leave yet, you can stay here till you’re ready. ”“We’ll leave in two days. I want Niko well rested before we begin the journey.” “How are you even going to get there? You can’t possibly walk all the way.”“We’ll need a carriage, or at least something that moves but I have no idea how to get one.”Aridah “There should be

Outnumbered
The Academy was in chaos. They had barely survived the first attack and irrespective of how hard they had prepared for another attack, nothing prepared them enough for the army of soul eaters that befell them. It was another surprise attack, but this time they had taken the capital first.The Hunters rushed into the capital leaving the Academy vulnerable and the soul eaters, led by Two, seized the opportunity to attack the Academy. The number of soul eaters were outrageous compared to how little Hunters were left guarding the Academy, but they fought nevertheless and they fought hard.Z and Kain fought together, bringing down soul eaters, but her eyes always found Tydinn in the crowd and that was when she saw him outnumbered by soul eaters, his blades still went up and down slicing through the mammoth crowd but she was only a matter of time before they would close in on him and take him down.Z's eyes went wide with rage at the sight of Tydinn struggling and without thinking, she jump

Kresha’s hunters division was large, several separate buildings made up the division and most of them were already engulfed in flames. Everything was happening too fast, and within a minute or less, fire had spread across the entire landing. The hunters that had run back into the division stood at several locations trying to put out the fire with water they drew from the earth, the air, the plants and the fountain in the middle of the division but none of their efforts seemed to work.The building in front of Sora had just started to smolder in the fire and the first thing that crossed his mind was whether or not there were people inside. He thought of going inside the building and looking for some people, but the extreme heat that was coming out of the house thwarted him instantly.Sora channeled all the energy he could and raised a shield to protect himself before dashing into the building. His shield did well to prevent the flames from burning him but it did not stop the smell of f

I saw you run
Sweat dripped down Sora’s body as he made his way from the woods into Kresha. Running to Kresha late at night and in the middle of training hadn’t been in his plans for the night but he felt a sudden urge to find Warrick again and possibly the Hunters division too. The urge had been too strong to ignore so he dropped everything and ran without second guessing himself.As he ran, he felt the cold hit his face but in spite of the cold, his insides kept burning. It burned so much and his head ached as well, he felt the floor rise up to his face and back down as nausea hit him but most of all, his craving for souls drove him insane, however he didn’t stop running. Although he craved for souls, he felt stronger than before, his training was working but it also made his frenzy come quicker and for some reason, this felt stronger than any frenzy he had ever had. He knew it was only a matter of time before he lost complete control and gave in to his frenzy, finally becoming the beast he alway

Aridah walked quietly in front of Sora as they weaved through the streets and Sora waited patiently for a response but nothing came.He finally broke the silence. “You can’t avoid this forever.”Aridah faced him with her tongue stuck out. “I can try, can’t I?”“Aridah, why are you stalling?”“There’s a lot of people around, can we at least get home first?”Sora knew it was another excuse to get out of talking and she probably would find another reason when they got to the house but he wasn’t going to push. He would have to wait and see how things played out when they got to the ho

“Err…where are you going?” Aridah called out to Sora.He stopped in his tracks and faced her. “Home.”The word was out his mouth before he realized he had just described her house as his home but he didn’t take it back either.“We’re not going home yet.”“Why not?” Quite frankly, he had had enough of Kresha for one day and was ready to get out.“Because I’m going to work.”“Work?”“Yes, work. What people do to earn a living.”

Kresha was a mess! A total mess, and Sora’s eyes went wide with shock as he took in Kresha. The streets were filled with people moving in different directions, never stopping for the human obstacles that bumped into them occasionally, but swirling around them. Sora had never been claustrophobic before, but from where they stood, the view of the almighty swell of people made panic rise in his chest but he did his best to remain calm.He could smell them too, the people and the thick fowl air, a jumble of fresh herbs and spices from the stand next to them, body odor from passersby and fermented alcohol. That was when the heat hit him and he suddenly didn’t seem to mind replacing his shirt with a more revealing one not minding the ramifications.It was as though his senses had been amplified to the highest frequency and everything sucked.

Madness
It had been three days since he regained consciousness, since he woke up on Aridah’s floor and two days of trying relentlessly to get words out of her about Varnek, but every single time he asked, she avoided his questions by changing the topic. Her constant efforts to dismiss him only confirmed that she knew more than she was letting on which made him persist even though he was growing impatient.He grew frustrated when he tried training the next morning and realized how weak he had become. He was completely drained and could hardly lift a pin, but it got even worse when he realized he couldn’t jump either. Jumping was the only way he knew to move long distance which would make returning back to the Academy a little more difficult for him.When he asked Aridah how she moved to places, she told him she walked everyw
