Darkness was all around, and she could see nothing but the flicker of orange and red in a second before it disappeared again. She can feel hard things brush against her skin, as well as soft and sponge like things. There were sharp objects scraping painfully against her body.But blood wasn't drawn out from her skin.She felt like her body was being pushed and pulled and her fingers and toes were being cut off by something invisible, dismembering her slowly. She couldn't scream as she feels like the thick black liquid will fill her mouth if she opened or parted her lips.Still, there was no blood coming from her dismembered body, even as she's being digested slowly while her consciousness is still intact.There was this lingering awful pain. And then suddenly she saw a small light the size of a grain. It got even bigger and bigger until it was the size of her head. She swam through the thick liquid, then as she reached the rim. When she did, she grabbed the edge until she had a strong
"Who are you?" That question pierced against Rajah's heart. She tried her best not to scowl, tried her best to prevent herself from crying Yet, the emotions she was strongly holding onto betrayed almost instantly. She thought Anastacia was lost... then returned... Is it all, nothing but a lie? "Anastacia..." Rajah whispered, her lips were trembling as tears from happiness and sadness filled her heart. She looked down on the baby she was holding on to, his little eyes full of wonder was staring back at her. This war was far from what she expected. Very far from the thing that she imagined would happen. She was ready to die for the boy, yet she was saved. She saw Anastacia die in front of her eyes, yet she was alive. She can't help but ask herself and the Celestial what was going on. Her head hurts so much that she feels like it'll explode. The temples on her forehead are pulsating so fast, that she can feel it. "This is Oden..." She said, as if there's a need for an introduction. "
Forty strong men and women line up in a perfect form of circle. Their backs touched the stone cold walls as they stood straight, waiting for the goop's bane to rise from the relic that holds its powers inside.During the night, the relic turns dark, as the venom of goop awakens, the dark liquid drips out slowly. As if it's crawling and slithering from its case. But during the day when the sun is out, it shines bright gold. The rhinestones and rare crystals emphasize its beauty.The contrast of day and night. The sun and the moon. It affects how potent the venom can be. Tris, one of the Sorcerers who specializes in defense, gives the signal --- the spotter when the venom oozes out of the relic.She closed her eyes and recited an incantation to activate the armor they are wearing. "Pusiausvyrinė." She opened her eyes and began again. "išleidimas ir plitimas!"The dark armor they were wearing slowly spread across their body. The carved incantations on the leather cloth lit up into gold,
Blood stains can be seen all around as the venom of the Celestial pierced through the heart of Connor. He had left cornered when only ten out of the forty Sorcerers remained alive --- some were barely making it through and were hoping to make it past dawn.Lazedi, Halley and Gandy were devoured by the eight foot monster, the terrifying creature had blood thirst in its eyes as it ate them one by one, using their smaller bones as a toothpick when it was done.Nothing in the books about the enemy's of the Celestial beings was written about these two creatures, and it absolutely petrified the remaining nine Sorcerers. For how could they defeat something they had no knowledge of?It would be like battling against a minefield. They will be all swept and killed if they act without planning ahead. The creature's powers were absolute, and they don't show any signs of slowing down.There's absolutely no sign of weakness.The creatures did not even fear the venom of Antheia. Only when it comes
He takes a bite of her shoulders then her torso, the bones cracking and the sound of slurping and chewing resounded in the chamber. Lucious threw the shield at Tris and the others. As Alatar chewed on Khallesie's foot, he looked around and saw how the Sorcerers began to move fast, each running around like a bunch of wounded rats. "Who knew stupid would taste so good." He said before licking the last drop of Khallesie's blood from his face, hands and fingers. He looked particularly at Accashia who was running towards the relic. "Let's see if a smart person tastes good as well." He said with a crooked smile before jumping in front of Accashia. "Do you know how long I've been holding out to my cravings to devour all of you?" "Don't think it'll be that easy." Alatar taunted with a smirk. He was about to grab onto Accashia, until he felt a sharp pain against his torso and back, then his head. He felt like his body was pushed away when numbers of shields were thrown on his way. His body
Rutra hissed and growled curses at him. But since she did not want to fight Alatar as she holds something more important than her. It was the Relic of the great witch, Antheia. The Celestial that first caught her Creator's misdeeds.Just the thought of being rewarded by her Creator brings her sheer joy. And her anger for Alatar vanishes as she thinks of how happy Levi the Great Master will be towards her and the lower ranked creature she's with.When the only thing that was visible was sand and the dried up mountains, Alatar asked Rutra to stop walking."Why are we stopping here?" She asked, her short fused temper was acting up again. "What is going on inside that feeble brain of yours."Alatar did not say a thing. Instead, he lets go of Elly's feet, letting it crash against the sandy floors. He hummed in satisfaction after seeing his dark colored face.Elly was so burnt by the sun that he looked like a roasted pig. And he smells of it too.With food so scarce in the desert, for sure
He slapped his face a few times to get himself back and immersed with reality. Forty of their best Sorcerers had just died. As an Supreme Sorcerer, he felt completely incompetent.Not only that, but the relic is lost as well.How he will tell it to Supreme Sorcerer Theodore is still beyond him. His pride as the best weapon maker had been crushed and destroyed. And his ideals and the way he sees himself had been vaporized, turned into nothing.But crying over spilled milk won't do any of them good. Now they have to act and try to trace whenever the beast maybe.Nathaniel looked over at Kane then said "You were training as an extractor before you were deployed here as a soldier aren't you?"Kane nodded. "Yes. Yes I was. I trained for a few years or so."Nathaniel hummed and looked all over the place before he bent down. The place was a bit dark since only a few torches hanging on the walls were lighting up the place. There wasn't much to see. "Then maybe you can trace something that cou
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she began to sob. She thought one of the bones she carried was her friend's. "Oh, great Rowan the Creator, if you hear us while you rest at the stars please give some of your fire of life to, Elly..." She cried.It didn't take long for Aiziah to reach Zebedee. The two female Sorcerers exchanged a tight embrace. Their best friend managed to survive, even if he was left to die here. If they haven't fought against the heat and made it in time, Elly will never make it through the night.Aiziah looked at Nathaniel and Dane who were baffled by what they're witnessing."Supreme!" She screamed on top of her lungs. "What are you doing?! We need to act now or else Elly will die! We need to save him!"Dane woke up from his trance, the desert heat was making his head ache and compromised his decision. After hearing the two Sorcerers, he moved forward to try to carry Elly.Nathaniel blinked a few times, as if he was calming himself. He did not know if it was the des
