"Do not worry, he will not punish him for too long." Morgan said to Cressida. "He almost died of a cold after he was punished all night long one day. Stefan's gate of energy is open just enough to keep him alive, so extreme cold or heat can be life-threatening. He cannot recover if he falls ill." Trevor pointed out. "Then open his gate of energy for him. He desperately wants it, you both are his friends." Cressida said as though to cry on his behalf. "We are still too weak to do that. But, no one in Pandora, no one in Elysian is allowed to do that. Morgan replied also pitifully for him. " Then he is already being punished for his entire lifetime." Cressida was lost of words at their point. Cressida took pity on him for the very first time realizing he’s already repenting enough through not being able to cast spells. While Stefan remained on punishment the entire night, Cressida came in again into the Hall when Morgan and Trevor had retired to bed to serve him hot tea. " You are a
Kimberly was visibly upset at his question."Nevermind." He said pretending not to have been serious about the question."Lord Feddrick, the assistant warlord of Greham, caught Elena's men who raided Pandora.""Really." Stefan was surprised.Meanwhile, the hierarchy at the palace comes under scrutiny. With Daniel Donovan off training and Stefan physically unable to cast spells, a decision ought to be made as to who will take over Daniel Donovan's position. The royals are summoned by the highest hierarchy of the Royal family to gather in the Elysian palace."Feddrick brought the bodies of Elena's men into the palace, we were the ones who caught Elena. So I am afraid we will become a laughing stock." Old Reyes said as he and Petrova Theodore hurried to Elysian palace." Is it true that he spared none of the men?" Petrova asked." He killed them all"" We have no way to trace the Wizardry Of Souls now." Petrova said with a worrisome sigh.While they Walk down with their guards to the hig
Feddrick left a swisher's smile and stood up." I heard you're searching everywhere for your Master. I would like to take you in myself, but I cannot defy your father's commands since he was my master once. " "Why did he close his own son's gate of energy? That I still can't fathom". He continued as he picked the sword from the shelf it was and placed it on the table. "The mages' energy flows through this sword, someone as ordinary as you are will not be able to unsheathe it." Stefan took the sword from the table and turned it around in the air to unsheathe it. Feddrick's heart skipped as though Stefan was about to unsheathe the sword. Stefan brought the sword down and looked at him. "Are you afraid I will do it?" Stefan asked. " If I unsheathe it, it means I will be qualified as the next Warlord, meaning you will be disqualified from getting that position." Feddrick is confident that Stefan won’t be able to unsheathe the sword, so he simply left out a smile which Stefan equally s
Stefan, who was watching her from afar, waited for the flames to slowly vanish and the people to retire before approaching her."Young master Donovan. As you can see, there's nothing I can do, other than watch my body burn. There is nothing I can do for you either." She said motionlessly." I have your sword." He brings out the sword from his back and presents it to her. Cressida couldn't believe her eyes.They both left the burning ground to an open porch of the palace."You said you could retrieve your power with this. Why are you standing still? Pick it up and unsheathe it." Stefan was curious to see how the sword works.Cressida took deepth breath for a few seconds and then walked closer to the sword placed on the table. As soon as she went closer to the sword, it brought out flames and began to lift itches off the table floating in the air. Stefan was gobsmacked."An excellent blade recognises its owner." He said with eyes wide open.Cressida kept taking her hands towards the flo
While Old Reyes questions the mage servant, Cressida had gone to sit at the courtyard all alone. Some minutes later, Stefan came out to join her." I have only heard of Fendril, it's such an incredible infirmary. There are all sorts of medicinal herbs and poisonous ones too." Cressida said, looking steamly at Stefan."I am sure these eye drops will make your eye color faint. Lie low and live as Cressida, that's all I can do for now." Stefan seemed not to have gotten the hint, he took a sip of the drink Cressida had made and kept right there by her side. " You are wrong, I want you to be my lake Kindermiota. You said you risked your life many times for me, so do it again one more time."It appears that what Stefan drank was actually poison. He started feeling the effects after a few minutes of consuming the content of the cup."It may be pretty painful." She continued.The tea cup Stefan held fell to the ground as he struggled in pain." What did you put in there?" He asked, holding hi
"Wait, you can't just leave like that. What about this child? Petrova holding a little baby in his arms approaches Daniel Donovan who was up on the hills about to leave. "Think about what people will say about this child and Lady Isabel. They will say he is not your son and call him an illegitimate child." He continued."He will be raised by the Donovan family since my wife gave birth to him. I will send someone over after his mother's funeral." Daniel Donovan was downcasted." Are you abandoning this child? Is he not really your child?"Believe whatsoever you choose to believe." Daniel took his leave."If this child is only going to cause trouble, let us just end his life here and now." Petrova provokingly threw the little boy into the air, rushed for his sword and pushed out his magical strength towards him, but right before the sword and magic could get the child, Donovan had gotten hold of him and restricted the magic causing it to bounce."See? He is your son. A son you're w
Master Ramirez Lewis, sits tiredly in his chamber round his table while feeling his hands on the flame of the table fire with Petrova Theodore discussing what had just happened." Stefan has finally opened his gate of energy." He said downcasted."Yes, he was even willing to end his life, I could not just sit back and watch. I guess he knew that we would never just let him kill himself. He probably poisoned himself knowing he will get saved." Old Reyes said faintly, coughing out as well. His health was affected by the so much energy he had just extracted to save Stefan."Are you Okay?" Petrova said showing concern." Opening Stefan's gate of energy and healing him has probably caused me ten years worth of energy.""So you not only open his gate of energy, but you also have him extra energy." Petrova was shocked at his actions." What good will it be for an old man to keep his gate of energy locked up?. He was poisoned, so I gave him soon energy to speed up his recovery""Once Stefan r
It was still midnight when Stefan and Cressida got to Fendril Pandora. Cressida was laid on a bed in the room while Stefan kept watch over her.He went closer to her and placed his two fingers close to her nostrils. " Is she breathing?" He bent his head to her face to confirm her breath. Cressida opened her eyes immediately. " You're awake. You kept passing out, so I thought you might die." Not paying attention to his talk, Cressida carried herself up groaning in pain. "Gosh" Does it hurt a lot? He asked." I think I broke my bones." She said when she finally sat up." They said you were fine."" Really?" " Then why does it hurt so much? What a useless body."" Hey, why did you say you poisoned me? If you pretended like you did not know anything, they would not have tortured you.""I had to make them believe that you were dying. Otherwise, they would not have opened your gate of energy. They just would have made an antidote."" So you really did risk your life."" I thought I mig
