“Zavok.”
“He was there?”
“Yes. They waited for him to come do the ritual. Only he could do the rituals.”
“I didn’t see anyone… We didn’t see anyone. Are we just supposed to take your word for it? AGAIN?” Z demanded.
“I am not lying.” Deki glared squarely at Z. “I lied before because I didn’t want you to think I was a follower of Hix and leave me there or worse, kill me.”

Sora and Z stared at each other for a few seconds. Sora glanced at Hork who was once again buried in the reports on his table .Z took a step closer to Sora and whispered quietly, “Do you want me to stay?”“Hork said—”“Fuck Hork. You can leave if you want to.”“But—”“You’re answerable to Tydinn, not him.”Sora sighed deeply before nodding to reassure Z he was fine. “I’ll be fine, thanks.”“I’ll be outside if you need me.”
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage He's here
Sora walked into the training area in search of Arden. The area was filled with Hunters mostly in groups practicing maneuvers and some sparring with other Hunters.Sora walked up to the only person he could find who wasn’t occupied.“I’m looking for Arden. Do you know where I can find him?”The Hunter assessed Sora first before answering, probably deeming it safe enough to answer him.“He’s never in this area. Walk down that passage and take a left turn to the end. You’ll find him” he replied pointing the way.“Thank you.”Sora walked past more Hu

“He's here.”“Who is here? What are you talking about?” Z searched Sora’s face for answers but found fear instead.“Zavok. I don't know how but I can feel him. I just know he’s here.”“We need to get the Hunters to help out.” Z pushed.“No” Sora objected immediately. “We need to get the hell out of here.”Arden on the other hand thought they could give it a shot. “It would be dumb if we didn’t at least give it a try. Sora, think about it, there’s three of us here, we can take him.”&ldq
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage I'm fine
Sora and Z walked in silence through the woods with no clear destination. They had camped under a huge tree for the rest of the night and resumed walking at daybreak. They had been up for hours now and still spoke as little words as possible to each other and walked at an awkward distance.Amongst the many things running through Sora’s mind, the image of Z completely shattered last night bothered him the most. He had never seen her like that beg so vulnerable and he knew it had clouded her judgment earlier.He wanted to reach out to her but the awkward silence made him hesitate. He needed to find a better approach.Sora moved closer to Z and thankfully, she didn’t move away. “Are you okay?”W
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage The founders House
Sora was unsure how to react to seeing his father. As he approached, several thoughts ran through his mind. Had Hork come for them? For him? Had he been worried? Was he overthinking it? Why was he so shaken by Hork’s presence?Z took a quick look at Sora and from how stiff he had become, she could tell he was affected by Hork’s appearance. Now that Z could clearly see Hork, she saw the resemblance he and Sora shared. Sora had Hork’s ears, nose and equally as many moles that Sora had on his own chiseled face.When Hork finally reached, his face remained expressionless as he surveyed the two Hunters and they waited till he was done.He set his eyes on Z again, “You look like shit…” with a quick look at Sora and he added &l
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage It would be stupid to lie
“The Founder’s House?” A frown appeared on Sora’s face, he was taken aback by the fact that such a gathering would be held in a very public location. “The museum with a huge cross on it?”“Yes! That’s it, I swear.” The man cried frantically as he answered the question.“Great.” Sora dropped the man back to the ground and moved closer to Z “When did a museum become a conference hall for Zavok and his followers?”“I’m as confused as you are.” Z nudged her head in the direction of the men still held in bounds of chains made with water and beer. “Do you believe him?”“It would be stupid to lie.”
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage Seal off the Exit
Once again, Sora, Z and Arden crouched on the roof of the building opposite the Founder’s House, it was still minutes to midnight and they watched patiently for any sign of suspicious activities in the building but since they had been there, everything happening seemed ordinary.From where they watched, they could see the lights from the building on full display, illuminating the entire area and people trooping into the museum in pairs and some alone, and it looked like a show was going on.Z had an obvious frown on her face. “They can’t really be doing this so openly, can they?”“It looks like a show is going on.” Arden noted.“This has got to be a joke.

“There’s no need to hide anymore. I told you your blood smelled dirty…I smelled it from the second you walked in here.”Knowing that there was no way to prevent the worst, Sora got to his feet revealing his position. At the same time, Z and Arden got up beside himZ.Murmurs filled the hall with people pointing fingers at the Hunters.“It’s a pleasure to have you with us again.” Zavok smiled ““I can’t say the feeling is mutual.” Sora shot back.Zavok smirked as he looked past Sora to the side at Z and Arden. “The bastard and the broken one. Welcome.”

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

I’m sure
“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.”

Warrick
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
