For the first month, Kane can only last three seconds in the air. In the second month, he could stay up there for a minute.In the third month, he could last for 15 minutes until he completely burns down and loses consciousness and ends up falling and hitting a tree. If he's lucky... he'll end up on the grass fields with a few cuts and scratches.Now they have been training for almost a half a year. Rasmus's skin is dark from exposure to the sun, yet Kane's skin remains as pale as a ghost. He noticed that Kane's body grew faster than regular boys his age, and because of this the boy eats triple the amount of food boys his age would. Kane is only 17, yet his build is of an adult male. His muscles are slightly defined and his mind matured as well.He learns quickly, and easily picks up from his mistakes so that he knows how to correct them. And now with his hard work, he easily flies 30 minutes in the air using half of his power alone."You're doing a great job, Kiddo." Rasmus screamed
The three of them were standing six feet away from Kane. Since there was no cottage or trees big enough to shade them from the sun, they had to stand in a fair distance so the three of them can spot if the boy is doing good, but not too far that they can't rush into Kane just in case he needed help.And though Rasmus absolutely told Landon it's unnecessary, the other male still insisted on bringing along a hand carry fire extinguisher.Rasmus was forcing himself not to laugh at the horrible situation his friend is in. Tahani had no plans to warm up to Landon so soon. Her ego was so horribly stained, only a punishment could be accepted as compensation for his harsh words. He was tasked to cover her with an umbrella from the sun until she said so, a grim expression remained on his face, while Tahani pretended as if nothing happened.With the sound of a whistle, Kane knows it's time to practice. The boy's feet are close to the shoreline, warm water from the ocean was almost hitting his f
During lunch time, Keeper's usually eat side by side in a cafeteria-like enclosure. A first come first serve basis for the line of food, and a person can sit anywhere while enjoying their meal. Half of the people will take their lunch earlier than the others, then the last half will eat later. This system was created so the rooms, halls, catacombs and the control room of the fortress would not be left empty and without someone guarding it.The bell rang loudly, indicating that the first batch's allotted time to eat lunch was over. They left the cafeteria and cleaned as they went. Soon the room was filled with people, lining up to the food serving area.Zebedee, Elly, Aiziah and True were lining up side by side. The four of them got their usual favorites, Shakshouka, couscous, a roasted lamb cooked to perfection called Mechoui. And for dessert, they never miss Morocco's best Chebakia--is a chewy, crunchy, and fragrant Moroccan pastry made by arranging strips of dough into a flower shap
Carrying the unconscious teen in his arms, Rasmus went against the crowd.Dozens of onlookers came and wanted to see where the blast came from. Locals came in one by one, talking about how the steel roof on their homes clang and banged and how the windows opened and shut. Some locals cried how their kids got carried away by a strong gust of wind."Move aside, move!" He roared against the crowd.A lot of people were still coming by the beach and it got harder and harder for him to squeeze in, especially since he was carrying Kane on top of his shoulder. The boy isn't a lightweight, that's for sure. One wrong push and the two of them would fall on the ground.The sound of tires screeching against the road closeby had some locals gasping from afar. Even from that distance, Rasmus can recognize that panicked filled voice."Kane!" He heard Landon scream out of the window as he drove the SUV like a madman. "Don't worry, uncle Landon is here!"The crowd gasped when the car was just a few fee
A raindrop landed on his forehead, shocking him to awareness. Slowly, he gets up with a loud yawn as he stretches both his arms while arching his back. His vision was still a blur, slowly and steadily he saw that he was laying down in a meadow. Tall grass, and flowery fields. The sun was shining brightly and a lot of birds were flying high in the sky.It was serene, and he felt peace. Kane looked down and noticed he was not wearing any clothes. How long was he naked? Instinctively, he covered his nether regions then gazed at his surroundings. A sigh of relief passed his parted lips when he saw that he was alone.He began to run, but noticed he was sinking, falling at a steady pace. A thick black substance was swallowing him down to his thighs."Help!" He screamed in panic. He twisted and he turned and tried to find something to grab a hold unto. He palmed and grasped the tall grass. But it would just snap, some will have its roots pulled from the ground. "Please, help me! Is anyone th
It was the first time Kane refused to listen to him. The young man had just recovered, yet after eating he insisted on the train immediately. Sure Kane has superhuman abilities and could heal several wounds within a day. But this was different. Rasmus leered, displeased as the boy frantically looked for the gloves that Tahani gave him."I told you, I did not hide it." Rasmus grumbled under his breath. His brows were raised and he crossed his arms against his chest. His point finger was tapping an erratic rhythm against his arm, a gesture he does when he's annoyed."Then where is it, Rasmus?" Was Kane's impatient answer.The older Sorcerer knows that the boy's temper is somewhat unpredictable. But this time it's different. It's similar to the time when Kane lost a key. He did not know what it was for, but the young man stayed silent for days and barely ate. As well as the time when Kane talked about how his father loved a fermented chinese cabbage called Kim-Chi. It seemed like a slip
Bloody footprints trailed inside the chamber, leading to the chair of Levi Shaldan---the Risen Dark Witch. The slowly rotting flesh of his mouth and his gums were no more. And his flesh became plump and full of life. His once dried grayish skin was now in a shade of fawn. Just to get his youth back he had to kill more than a hundred people. And the death of the innocent were obvious as blood pools from his throne.Not only did he look beautiful, he was able to buy himself time. Now he waits for news coming from Alatar. But he realized he did not have to wait long when a swarm of green bugs flew and stopped in front of him. He opened the palm of his hand, and let one of the bugs sit on it."Red Klaida. Atlah Toh." After saying his incantations, the bug turned red and flew high until it reached his forehead. The flesh on the middle of his forehead opened up, and blood trailed down to the bridge of his nose. The bug squeezed itself inside the hole and brought the information directly to
The Supreme among Sorcerer's woke up from a vicious nightmare. A creature bigger than a two storey house has risen. He did everything in his power and pulled out his resources to know where the location of the attack was. But his dreams were so vague and came in fragments that he did not understand what the Celestial was trying to convey.Usually, Sagittarius would show up in his dream, or he'll dream of specific instructions. It made him feel like something was terribly wrong.Not long after that, news of the Massacre that happened in the small town of Lentvaris, Lithuania spread fast across the globe. Out of the ten thousand citizens who live there, only less than a thousand of people were able to escape. And those who were able to escape told everyone their own story about a dreadful creature who eats human beings and animals alike.A creature with hundreds of eyes, and has a thirst for blood. As tall as trees of the forest and claws as big as a car. Creatures big and small with bo
