Stefan had opened the door and gone inside the cabin leaving her in her amazement. "Cressida, there's even a bath in here." He opened the door, peeped at her, and screamed out loud when she seemed not still ready to step into the cabin. She hurried into the house to see things for herself. To her surprise, it had a different look."Cressida. There are tons of things to eat and even the bathtub is very nice." Stefan stood placing one of his arms on his waist and the other on the center pillar of the house made with wood. This place was nothing compared to what Cressida had told him before now. "Master, you had yourself a pretty nice place. Did you have to scare your pupil like this? You are one weird…" He turns around to where the wooden bed was made. "There's even a blanket. This is so soft, it is nice and comfy." He sat on the bed and kept touching it.Cressida said absolutely nothing the whole time, she kept wandering around the room suspiciously"They are not mine. Someone else is
The night is accompanied with rain hammering down in the streets. A woman dressed in a thin veil evades a rabble of guards as she walks through town.Slipping down the back alleys, she makes her way to a poor family'You poor thing, child take this and eat' the woman said, caressing the child's head.The little dirty boy in rags sat up with the help of his mother"Child, go on," his mother said while feeding him."I will bring more meals for you, eat slowly" the woman dressed in a thin veil said. She moved out of the room and slowly raised her eyes to look at the strange devilish man in a caged room while shutting the door behind her.The strange devilish man arrives, with blue-grey skin and charges at the poor woman and her child in rags. Thankfully, a demon slayer called Daniel Donovan appears, the both exchange fists and Daniel Donovan throws him across the room. Somehow conjuring up water powers, he confines it to a prison.The door slams open in a hurry "Matt" the woman screamed
20 years later and the child conceived has grown into Stefan Donovan who happens to be at the royal palace overseen by Petrova Theodore.On the frozen lake in the outskirts of the village, Elena, a female Shadow Assassin is seen having a tense argument with some soldier who came to capture her."So you're Elena, the Shadow Assassin who has been going around killing all the mages in the City." Petrova Theodore confronted her."They call me Elena, for wherever I go, heads fall on the ground, a beautiful name isn't it? '' she replied boastfully with a cheek up smile."Kill her," the head soldier ordered.Immediately arrows were raised by the soldiers and fired towards Elena who loosen her hat ropes, throw it off and draw out her sword to resist the arrows into the frozen ice. A magic arrow fired towards Elena by Petrova the head soldier almost threw her off her feet, the enchanting forces of the air held her firm.The trop and Elena kept fighting across this frozen lake. The head soldi
Stefan Donovan is the son of Daniel Donovan. A fine gentleman who is currently off training in the mountains. Stefan is on the mountain with his master sitting on his knees. His current teacher, an elder monk, is angry at his attitude and refuses to teach him. "Today, I shall end my training". He tells his master. "You have not even finished your training, how dare you decide to end the training without my permission?" "You asked me to expand my knowledge, so I read and memorized hundreds of spell books. You asked me to train my mind, so I patiently sharpened hundreds of swords. However, you never taught me any kinds of spells. The only lessons I have learnt here is that you have no intentions to teach me spells at all, now that I have learnt a big lesson I'd love to end it and leave." "The leader of Pandora asked me to keep you here for three years" Stefan wasn't ready to listen to what the monk had to say, he wasn't the type that kept to rules. "I know you're building a sanct
"You should wash first and doll yourself up". Cressida slowly let go of her stick and made a dance kind of move with the mistress' hand. She was surprised and scared at first but almost immediately cheered up and smiled. "So you can dance as well?"."Did it look like a dance?" Apparently, Cressida was obviously making one of her fight moves which the mistress didn't understand, but because it didn't hurt her she felt it was a dance move."If my moves contained power, your arm would have fallen right off." Cressida said inwardly, she was quickly snapped out of her assumptions when the mistress dragged her cheeks."I am older than you, so you should speak in honorifics and I hope you will also treat my customers with respect too." The mistress kept to her cheeks and shaked her as though to lay emphasis." You just wait, I will kill you too." Cressida wasn't comfortable with this threat and as usual she kept her ill speeches in her mind. "A lot of powerful people come to our brothel. T
"You must be crazy." She shuffles beneath her breath. She ran off with a picky bag of coins and in an attempt to escape fell off the window and Stefan couldn't help but feel pity for her. Trevor walks into the room immediately after Cressida leaves."What are you looking at?"Stefan, who was still staring at the window, turned to look at him."What? Nothing, Trevor, I heard the Shadow Assassin uses Tansus." Stefan picks the crab leg and examines it carefully.Trevor chuckled,"What do you know about Tansus?""I know enough, I read about it in my free time". Stefan sounded confident about this information."Tansus is the type of swordsmanship that only the best mages can learn, you flick energy with a blade just like you flick water. A single strike is enough to kill someone." Trevor explained to Stefan." But why did you ask?"Youkay raised the crab leg in his face and recalled the moves Cressida made on him. "I am just wondering if this crab leg almost could have killed me.""Give i
Cressida was overly cheerful with him and apologized for threatening him with a crab leg the previous day.Stefan constantly tries her patience, being overly picky with everything she does from making the bed to running a bath. Cressida promises to kill him first once she’s regained her power. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have her water powers right now. But hey, that doesn’t stop a girl from dreaming!Interestingly, Cressida does notice something intriguing in Stefan's possession while bringing him his clothes, coming in the form of a spirit emblem; that shiny blue necklace Elena used to restrict Petrova at the lake."That spirit plague will allow me to break the barrier and enter Pandora. But I cannot do that right now because I do not have powers to cast spells. I should find my sword, I might get my powers back if I find my sword.""With that spirit plague, I will be able to enter Pandora. Cressida said audibly this time. Donovan Stefan stares at his late mother's portrait at the
"Who were those guys? Did Salvatore send them here?". Cressida had found her way into the training center while the fight went on and hid comfortably under the table. Petrova Theodore was the next target and mission Salvatore had given her before her soul was transferred to Cressida. "Right! He must have sent them here to retrieve my body" Cressida attempted to run out of the table and made a sound while her body hit the table. "Who's there?" Morgan said after hearing the crack and sounds. Cressida ran the fastest she could out of the table and tried pacing her way around the center in a way to run out of it. Morgan chased her using her movements. In the middle of all this, Stefan, who had seen when she had left his province, catches up with her. Stefan drew her to a hiding place. When Morgan could no longer hear her footsteps, he retook his steps. "What are you doing here?" Cressida said, looking Stefan in the eyes. The moonlight was at its fullest that night and reflected on bo

Growing up as a child Elena had the best memories of her father until the heavy wind blow all that she had away from her. She was amazed by her father, who happened to be a constellation recorder mage for Greham. Four years old Elena went to the constellation room with her father, who often show her around the room where other workers did their work uninterrupted. Elena was often amazed at the beautiful lightning and flames that came out of the interlocked circle constellating tool."Here, at Greham we have a record of all the constellations. Even the ones on your birthday. Would you like to see it? He asked the little girl lovingly. "Yes, father." She said smiling. The father burst out laughing as well."Alright, let us go." He carried her on his shoulder. And went into where her constellation record was kept and placed it inside a bowl of water. Letting out the blooming stars."Look at that, there it is." He said to her, that same night the four season families of Elysian invaded hi
*********************************************************The Assistant Warlord was keen at eliminating Stefan by all means. He went to meet with the Crown Prince to provoke him to accept the challenge the next morning."Please take up the challenge." Petrova tried to persuade him. They were both taking a walk round the palace."I do not see why I need to go against Pandora just because of that fool." Prince Maxwell said."Thanks to them, they will not be able to point their fingers at us. Show Pandora exactly how strong you are." Feddrick seems to have won him over. He obliged to it and prepared a letter to be sent to Pandora. Feddrick got exactly what he wanted by manipulating him. Pandora gathered to receive their visitors from Greham who came in their numbers."They are Royal guards and Greham's men. What is going on?" Morgan asked Trevor when he saw them coming in."Damn it! Master Ramirez!" Trevor flinched." He said nothing will happen. What is this? What should we do now?." H
The door to the Secret Room where Cressida and Stefan were, eventually opened after shutting down. Master Ramirez and Trevor came in to see him."This arm of yours reached Rsuyu in that short period of time." Master Ramirez held his hand examining it happily. "You sure are as bright as your father." Stefan shrinks his arm from Master Ramirez's hold. He wasn't even paying attention to what he said in the first place."Feddrick Gonzales from Greham only picked a fight because he realized he would never become the next Warlord. He has realized that, the eldest son of the Donovan family will become the next Warlord." Trevor boasted.Stefan was still not in the mood to talk, so he ignored all that was said and laid on the recess of the temple in the room. "My uncle's wound was not that deep. Do not worry about him." "I will have a word with Feddrick Gonzales. Alright?" Master Ramirez equally tried to pacify him. He still didn't say a word. He was already backing them. They left afterward
Stefan is detend in a room as commanded by lord Petrova. He examines his bindied arm and reflects on himself for a few seconds before Petrova walks in on him. He stood up and looked at him then noticed the wound he sustained when he unsheathed the sword."Have you still not received treatment? You bled a lot." Stefan asked."How is your arm?" Petrova spoke softly and soberly."The binding bracelet hindered its movement. But I am fine.""You managed to turn Master Ramirez's torrents of energy into yours in a short period of time. I am truly impressed." Petrova has never complimented Stefan in his entire life. Stefan couldn't believe his ears."I felt like my body was on fire. Then it felt like I was covered in ice." Stefan explained what had happened to him when he left Pandora."What about the wounds from the flogging? Are you still in pain?""It seems like the flogging helped surge the energy. The Crown Prince had landed many hits. Then I felt a surge within me. That is when I unshea
************************************************** The leaders of the most respected Provinces Old Reyes, Petrova Theodore and Lady Theresa Martinez alongside the assistant Warlord gathered for a brief meeting. The assistant Warlord seemed almost unbothered, sipping his coffee as though he was invited out of his own will."Tiwa was stolen from Lewisville." Petrova spoke first."Only those from the Martinez family can open that door. They must have summoned it out of there." Lady Theresa perplexed."A burglary in Lewisville? You were heartbroken for years after losing your eldest daughter. You must have become weaker over the years." Feddrick ridiculed rather than made contributions to improve the situation."What an impudent brat. You may be an illegitimate son. But you are still part of the Martinez family. How dare you bad-mouth your half sister?" Old Reyes scolded. "How dare you?" He raised his hand as though to hit him."I am the assistant Warlord. I would appreciate it if you sh
"Help me hold it up since I cannot use my right arm. " The Prince felt more disgusted that he turned around so he wouldn't watch him drink the filthy water."Young Master." Maidservant shouted. She came to the ground and joined them. "I will drink…"she jerks. "I will drink it." The Prince couldn't believe his ears."Forget it. Why would you drink this? Go!""Exactly how much is there? Do you want me to help out too?" Trevor asked to come to join them already. "Really?" Stefan asked."Give it to me." Just when he made to drink the water, all of them began to jerk off as well as the prince."It is really chamber pot water." Katherina shouted."Your Royal Highness. How would we dare to challenge you? Must you let them drink that filthy water solely as an apology?" Morgan intervened."Damn it. Forget it. You're making me retch. Let's go." The Prince threw the sword on one of the mages and made to leave."The Crown Prince is leaving! Bow before him!" One of the mages shouted. The Prince l
As you can see. I am afraid I cannot see you out, since I am heavily injured. "Stefan held to his ribs." Maidservant Kim bimped in excitements. Trevor, Morgan and Katherina had just arrived the scene of the fight. All three of them being shocked stood still. Trevor went closer to one of Stefan's aged household servant who was present to enquire of what had happened. "What is going on?" He asked. "All right, I will keep my promise and let you have it. However, I must punish her." The Crown Prince said referring to Cressida. "I will not forgive her for tainting my cloth." He reached out to his sword and fiercely walked towards Cressida who took steps back. Fear creaped Cressida and everyone that stood watching. The prince raised his sword against Cressida almost to cut her into pieces when all of a sudden he was instructed by another power sword. It was Stefan's sword. Throwing him over. The eyes that could see this miracle gobsmacked in dismay. It was totally unbelievable, Stefan enga
The Crown Prince, Prince Maxwell made a surprise visit to the Donovan house the next morning with his horse and nounguard escorts."We have arrived Greham's Warlord. Stefan Donovan's house." One of the mage said to the Prince as they got to the house. On their arrival, Maidservant Kim ran into the house to inform Stefan who was having his tea in the inner room of the house while Cressida tends to him." Young Master?" She said running." You have a guest."" Who is it?" Stefan was unbothered."The Crown Prince has come to see you." Maidservant Kim was equally curious as to what the Prince must have come so early in the morning to do in the Donovan's house. Stefan received the shock of his life. He quickly dressed up and went to see him in the courtyard. The servants of the Donovan house took bows as Stefan walked in. The Crown Prince looked at Stefan fiercely for a long period of time. Leaving him, Cressida and Maidservant Kim confused. However, Stefan's friends, Trevor, Morgan
