His brows pinched together. He took a glance at his wrist and thought. 'I hope this isn't an illusion.'
Even after Vernon's confirmation, doubts never settled, defying his wish for silence. As a sea of thoughts shouted negativity in the recesses of his brain. He gritted his teeth under a calm front and led his team.
The hairs on his forehead raised as stiff as needles. He said, "Enemy Incoming"
They changed formation and huddled together with their backs against each other. With a shaky grip, they pointed their weapons at the front, waiting for the slightest signs of the enemy.
Scales crinkled against the rough ground, Chad shifted his gaze to his left, hissing grew pronounced as it crawled closer to his back. Sweat clung to his shirt. He closed his eyes and turned around. Found nothing

His olive eyes relaxed. Lightning bolted his feet forward, sizzling streaks on the floor, and stopped a meter from the figure. His brows raised and sent him a glare, he said. “Are you deaf?”He hissed. “Why didn’t you answer, retard?”A cloud of grey floated past the figure’s face. He snared. “It’s you!! Bloody popper!”Draven stood like a mannequin, as his face held a wide grin stretching to the ends of his face. “Where is the team?” he asked, but all he received was silence. “What happened to them?” He tilted his head, said “Tell me, what the heck happened?”“Speak or I will really bust your face&r

Coach eyes shifted from his chatting students to Lester Hart, who sent him a wave which stiffened his face. He lifted himself to his feet and threaded past them. “Coach, where are you going? I want to ask you something?” his back shivered and stopped in his tracks, as the room suddenly quietened. He turned around, said “Draven, can you hold on for a minute? I need to grab myself a drink… a beer, I guess”Draven snickered, said “Sure you can go but there aren’t any stalls that sell beer”“Oh, thanks…” he walked out of the dugout with quick strides, almost knocking the doors of Draven’s suspicion.

She rinsed the plates and lined them in the dishwasher underneath the basin. A blurry figure reflected the silverware as she placed it inside, her mouth curved with a snicker. Draven glanced at her back, thought ‘How can I get past her?’She bended below the table. He quietly scampered to the door and swiped the card on the door handle, and it opened. He glanced over his shoulder and, with a grin; he placed a foot outside. A hand grasped his forearm. “Where are you going, mister?” she purred, breathing hot breath on his nape. “Hope you’re seeking something outside which you can get here?”Draven shifted his focus to her with a smirk. “And what do you think I seek?”‘Strip Club’ She playfully mouthed the words, stunning Draven’s s

First light peeped through the tinted windshield and inched along the maple dashboard and touched the soles of feet above the moving steering wheel. The car turned itself to the bend; the light glimmered the bangs underneath his cap.

Under his manipulation, he formed a wind blade into his nails. The moment his finger touched the surface, his eyes widened. "It actually blocked my powers," he continued, trying to dent the wall with all of his ability. Becky turned from her com, said."Draven, are you okay?" whole transfixedonthe wall. He nodded his head.

Davis, activate the defence mechanism, A-103 and code P456" "Yes, Sir" Capt. Davis said. He pulled a slide from control panel and twisted it before he punched it in.

It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass. He tilted his head back, dishevelling his golden hair against the glass as his body spasmed into a chuckle. "Hehe, that was a good one.

Draven honestly said. “I do want to enter one of the Big Five but I am not sure on which one”“Then I can help you” Luis cleared his throat and tossed a cube in Draven’s direction. The cube rolled and morphed into a comfy couch. He signalled for him to take a seat. Draven silently settled himself on the couch and listened.“Each of the Big five have their own speciality, like Luturian Alchemy Academy, which focuses on Alchemy. Sure, there are many alchemy-based universities, but what they lack is the quality of professors, lectures, or the ability to gain resources. Which will be used to nurture their seedlings and naturally bring them fame and reputation across the universe”“Entrium University is known as the number one on white paper because they normally recruit the children of the elite and have the backing of many high-net-worth individuals and families”“So, it is a playground of snotty br

"Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient.

Their bands beeped as they got closer to the Hellhound's location.Seeing figures far in the distance, Pablo grinned and drew out his axe. The others followed and drew out their weapons."Let's rush to victory!"The horses jumped across and their hooves sank in the snow. Controlling their powers, the horses galloped above the snowy water.
