2024-10-29 19:42:56Sora could feel the softness of the frame beneath as his consciousness crawled back to him. His eyelids felt heavy but he struggled to open them and although his vision was blurry at first, they became clear after blinking repeatedly .
His entire body felt heavy as though a building collapsed on him and the dryness in his throat made him scan the area for any liquid to help.
His eyes landed on the drawer by the left side of the bed which had a glass filled halfway with water but when he stretched his hand out to reach it, his limbs failed to follow his sense of direction.
Sora became desperate and thus the struggle begun. Little by little he moved his body more to the left to reduce the space between himself and the drawer till he was finally able to reach the top of the drawer comfortably

Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage Hiding something
Sora took in his surrounding as he walked back to his quarters. Raskinth had an air of seriousness to it, everyone seemed to be unapproachable unlike the Academy and the only place he had seen people loosen up here was in the dining hall when they drank. He walked past the training area and got stared at again by the Hunters he saw but he wasn’t bothered by them.As a matter of fact, he felt a certain thrill from leaving them in the dark and just having them assume things. Being the center of attraction in this manner still felt foreign to him. From being the topic of gossip for being powerless to being the center of gossip for being very strong, Sora felt pride? He wasn’t sure what the feeling was but it felt good.On his way bac

They walked back quietly to the Hunters’ area with Sora taking the lead. Z watched from behind as he dragged his feet all the way, it was obvious something was bothering him and he only took out his frustration on Konan…but what was it?Hatred? Z knew what she saw had not been born out of hatred. Sora had been fine when they went to the infirmary that morning but completely differently when they met up after.Z was mostly worried about the side of him she had seen and how it made her question him, something had to be the root cause and she wanted to reach out but she didn’t know how to.She waited a few seconds before finally deciding to speak up.&ldq

Kain’s fork fell from his hand as he got out of his chair and everyone else got up immediately.“That can’t be possible. The Ivy is the most secure place I know.”“I don’t know the details.

Kain lifted Z into his arms and ran out of the Ivy Hall leaving the fight behind. He ran in haste without looking back till he reached the infirmary.The doors were open already but Kain struggled to make it past the mages he met who were also struggling to get in.Once in, Kain yelled frantically “Help! I need help!”But the infirmary was in chaos. Healers and injured mages rushed in all directions and his cry for help was drowned in the madness happening around him. Everyone looked occupied but surveyed the room till his eyes landed on a Healer he saw walk out of a room and rushed to her immediately before she found a new person to work on.“She’s Tyddin’s daughter, please help her.”The Heale

“It is rather unfortunate that we have to meet under these circumstances. We are here to discuss two things, the attack on the Ivy last night and the cause and effect of the death—murder of Master Vorak.” Anaise looked around the room and sighed before continuing. “Also keep in mind that all the decisions we make here will affect the future of the Academy and Namrys moving forward, so we will make sure to address every issue with utmost caution.”There was a chilling silence in the room as questioning eyes moved from person to person and to the now empty seat of Vorak.“Are we sure Vorak was murdered? Amilyn snorted.Shar continued “The old man could easily have killed himself. Maybe he finally realised mages are not as capable

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

Endless
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

If patterns work
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
