Sora 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
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
Sora walked out to find Z waiting at the first turn out of the office area. “What did he want?”“My autograph.”“Did you give him?”Sora snickered, “You know I did.”“My boy!”Sora burst out laughing and Z joined in.Z took a deep breath and calmed down. “I’m proud of you Sora.”Sora was grateful for her compliment and smiled but he brushed it off “Yeah yeah, thanks.” Finishing with a smile. “Zavok is dead.”The messenger knelt with his head bowed as he relayed the news to the children of the master.Four’s eyes went wide in shock. “That’s impossible. No mage can kill us, we were created by the master and no one can kill us.”“You have confirmed this?” Three child asked“Yes. I have” the messenger replied, “I saw it with my own eyes.”“How did he die?”“He was killed by a mage”“A mage? That’s impossible&rdquRise of the Strongest Soul Mage Zavok is dead
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. Your mother sent someone to bring the news.”“She could have come herself!” Kain yelled angrily.“You know your mother. She would never run from battle.”“Where’s the messenger?” Kain asked as he approached Elias“At the door.”Kain moved quickly past his fat
Sora shut Z’s voice out of his head and ran till he reached the Ivy Hall. He sighted several soul eaters by the entrance but he knew they wouldn’t be an issue for him. As expected, they came for him and he was ready, completely filled with rage, Sora shot raw energy from his hands targeted at them and he watched as they burst into flames.Z and Kain were behind him in no time and they joined the fight as more soul eaters came. They fought together taking down the soul eaters till there was none left.Breathing heavily, Sora faced Z “Stay here.” But Sora knew Z wouldn’t listen so he faced Kain instead. “Keep her here.”Although Kain still had the same look of rage he had seen earlier, Sora knew he would keep Z in place, and inst
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
