“You’re hurting me; please stop,” Gerald pleaded with Steven while trying to adjust his medicated eyeglasses, which wanted to fall due to how Steven and his friends kept pushing him. “Where would be the fun in that?” Steven asked and laughed with his friends. “Where is the money Steven asked you to bring today huh?” One of Steven’s friends asked Gerald. “I can't ask my parents for that kind of huge amount of money. They would question me and even end up not giving me,” Gerald answered and received a punch on his stomach from Steven, making Gerald yell in pain. Yes, it’s exactly what you are thinking. Gerald was being bullied at school by Steven and his friends. Gerald Halloway, despite being from a wealthy family and an only child, was a laughingstock at school and was always being bullied. But he never for once told his parents about it due to his fears that it would make situations worse for him because those bullying him had wealthy parents too. He was called Piggy because o
When Gwendolyn covered herself and Gerald with the clock, they disappeared, or more like they teleported. They appeared in front of a cottage on a hill. Gerald was at a loss for words to express his thoughts, so he just turned around to take in his present environment. Below the hill was the town he could spot after the forest they had just teleported from. This place was strange, for he thought places like this only existed in movies and books. He could see the town wall and gate; the kind of buildings that existed in this new world he was now in were cottages. Far beyond the city but still within the city walls was a very big castle, which he guessed would be the abode of the king. But this cottage was outside the city walls on a hill, with beautiful flowers around the cottage, which helped beautify the surroundings. All of a sudden Gwendolyn appeared from nowhere and grabbed his hands. “Let's go, Mother is inside waiting for us,” Gwendolyn said and they went into the cot
When Gerald raised his head his eyes orbs were glowing green and he was breathing fast with his hands balled in a fist due to his growing anger. Calanthe had to hold his hand to calm him down. Ophelia and king Nebeus's guards just sat still on the floor they landed on when the wave of energy that emitted from Gerald pushed them down. When Gerald calmed down his eye orbs stopped glowing, they glowed because he used his powers, so apparently, they'll glow anytime he uses his powers or his emotions are triggered. “ Oh my!! He is more powerful than we comprehended “ Ophelia said, still in a state of shock as she looked at Gerald. She motioned for the guards that came with her to attack. They stood and charged toward Calanthe and Gerald but Gwendolyn immediately stood in front of them and closed her eyes when she opened them her eye orbs began to glow blue. Gwendolyn raised her hands sideways on each side with her palms open as she tilted her head back a little trying to gather streng
Immediately Gerald touched the hilt of the sword, his eye orbs glowed brighter than they had ever seen and he just stood still on the spot with his hands on the hilt of the sword.Gwendolyn became alarmed when she saw this and reached out to touch him but immediately her hands touched him, a wave of energy emitted from Gerald and shocked her hands.She immediately removed her hands and shouted “ Mother!! Mother!! Something is wrong with Gerald his not moving and when I reached out to touch him a wave of energy like a thunderbolt shocked me “.Calanthe immediately ran back to meet them, she facepalmed and rolled her eyes when she saw Geralds's state.“ I told him he'll need his powers before he can unsheathe his father's sword, but I guess he doubted me and decided to see for himself. He will probably be having flashbacks and seeing visions of things that happened in the past, that's why his eye orbs are glowing, luckily I know just what to do “ Calanthe said.“ And what's that? “ Gwen
Calanthe and Gwen asked Gerald why he thought he had half of the Sacred because they had no idea how the stone was split into two.“ Since I remember being a child, I have had this necklace that has a pendant. I found it odd that a boy would have a necklace on his neck as though he is a girl,so I opened the pendant one day and saw a green shiny stone that was transparent, from merely looking at it I could tell it was a broken half of a stone, “ Gerald paused and then continued.“ I tried to get it off my necklace but it wouldn't come out. I used everything I knew I could to cut it with but I couldn't. The surprising part is that no one else could see it besides me. My parents began to think I was having mental issues and so did kids from my school. I was forced to visit a psychiatrist, no matter how I tried to show them they couldn't see it. I decided to let the issue slide because there must be a reason for no one else to be able to see it aside from me. And now I know the reason ““
When Gerald and Calanthe came back to join Pitney and Gwen, they all laughed at Pitney's funny tales about her town, and eventually, they fell asleep. But little did they know that Pitney wasn't asleep but just pretending.Gerald laid down on his mat sleeping soundly and surprisingly comfortably for someone who is sleeping in a place where evil and danger lurked.When Pitney thought that the trio was in deep slumber, she took out a dagger from her boot that had a crest of the beast that Gwen killed.Pitney raised the dagger and was about to stab Gerald but felt a sharp and intense pain in her legs like she was stabbed there.She cried out in pain and her fangs became visible, due to her loud cry, she woke Calanthe and Gerald up. They looked at Pitney with horror, not believing their eyes.Pitney looked down to see what pierced her and saw an icicle that looked like a stake was stabbed through her leg and rooted into the ground due to this she couldn't move. Pitney already knew that th
“ Mother, you have to show him how to unlock his powers now or I'll use the hard way, “ Gwen said as she turned to look at Calanthe.Calanthe just glared at Gwen and didn't answer Gwen but instead, she turned to Gerald, took his hand, and led him a safe distance from the chaos that just happened. Gwen followed suit not waiting to be invited.They got to a clear spot where trees weren't abundant in the area, although fog still covered this area it wasn't as thick as the area they just left.“ This is a good spot for training. Now Stand in front of me “ Calanthe instructed Gerald who did as she said without a second thought.“ Unstrap the sword holder from your back, “ Calanthe said and Gerald did just that, while Gwen just stood there with her hands folded on her chest as she observed patiently.Gerald unstrapped the sword holder from his back and held the scabbard that housed his father's sword. He released a breath he never knew he was holding and stood holding the scabbard with his
Gerald felt the presence of something around and was alert, even before the beast that had the head of a lion and the body of an ape lunged at Gerald, he also perceived it coming and dodged the beast known as a sibut.The creature crashed to the ground but stood up again to launch an attack at Gerald who by this time had already unsheathed his sword channeling his powers to his sword, and stood ready to defend himself.Calanthe and Gwen heard a roar from a distance and ran toward where the roar was coming from. Reaching there they saw Gerald standing against a creature they had never seen before, but only heard tales about it.Gwen immediately took the hilt of her sword she was holding and touched the crest on it, instantly a blade shot out from the hilt and she channeled her powers into her sword.Unlike Gerald when he channeled his energy into his sword, his energy in the form of green spiral lightning sparks emit from his hands and rest on his sword, but Gwen's sword only glowed b
