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
" Yes, the king and I have switched bodies."" Then where is his majesty ?" Feddrick was already frightened." His soul is inside my body, I must get back my body. But I cannot seem to retrieve my energy. I need you to help me." He said almost losing his breath due to his weak body." Master. I do not know how the Wizardry Of Souls works."" Go to Greham's Secret Room and bring me the Soul Ejector. I will teach you how the Wizardry Of Souls works". Master Daniel Donovan said. Feddrick narrates how he got to understand that some Soul Shifters lose their energy when they shift their souls to a weak body to his chief executor." He could not retrieve his energy due to the weak body he was in, which was why I was given the chance. I was lucky." Feddrick said within him to no one's hearing leaving a Stony smile as usual." Burn the bodies". He ordered the bodies of which the soul shifters had sapped life from to be burnt to ashes. While Feddrick's chief executor was on the field
Cressida could not believe her eyes, she looked at him widely as though to hit him back. While they both stood up to put on their shoes, Cressida threw the wooden tool at Stefan's back. " What was that for? Stefan, who paused what he was doing, asked. " You're not agile,pick it up." She gestured with her eyes. "What are you doing?" While he bends to pick up the tool, she does the same. She equally carried her own tool. " Let me see how good my pupil is so I can forget how miserable I feel." " What?" Cressida makes the first martial flip of her tool and begins to engage Stefan in a fight. Stefan tried his best to dodge her tools in an amateur way until finally hit him on his buttocks. He felt the pains of the wood. " Why did you hit me?" He said, rubbing his hands on his button. Cressida already dropped her tool afterwards. "You have no swordsmanship. Then show me how you fight." Stefan went closer to her again and began to throw punches. She fought back, hitting him on the
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
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
