"Ofcourse, if that's the place you want to go," Ezra winked his eyes, Christian keeping the hands in his pockets, glanced forward aiming to reach his destination, "I can't waste even a minute, because finding my mom and saving her, that's the only goal of mine."

The sky had shifted from orange and yellowish to grey and blank, while the clouds were thick with the scent of rain.

Christian drove in silence, his fingers loosely curled around the steering wheel, while Ezra sat beside him, invisible to the world yet always present for him.

The ring, the ancient seal of the House of Evernight, rested heavy in Christian's pocket, as if it carried not just simple weight, but a strong purpose.

"You’re quiet," Ezra said after a while, with a low and cautious voice, "What's running in your mind?"

Christian glanced at the rearview mirror, watching the landscape blur into misty hills. "I’m just thinking, it's about my mom, what exactly she was trying to protect? Why did she risk her life to prot

    "Give me your necklace, you swine!" Ivan's eyes fixed on the necklace around Christian's neck, "My girlfriend is obsessed with finding one like that and I hate to disappoint her, so just give it to me!" Instinctively, Christian's fingers ran to the smooth edges of the silver necklace, a delicate piece with swirling patterns showed its uniqueness. A few years ago, his mother suddenly disappeared, leaving Christian with only a necklace and a note, "It will always protect you, Chris!" After investigation, the police announced that his mother was dead. Christian tightened his grip on the necklace protectively. "Of course," he thought bitterly. "Everything that is important to me will always be important to Ivan, so that he can steal it from me." But he kept his voice calm. "I can't give this to you, Ivan, it's something my mother left me, so I can't let it go." "Do you think someone like you can say no to me?" Ivan crossed his arms with a sneer, Christian knows very well about his

    It was not his mother. Christian could barely lift his head before his father’s hand gripped his hair, yanking him roughly out of the room, "come out, you bastard!" Morris was furious after watching Christian sleeping, as he wanted Christian to repent for his mistakes. The sharp, piercing pain was extreme, but worse than that was the familiar feeling of helplessness that passed through him, almost numbing the silent agony. As he stumbled behind Morris, tripping over his own feet, his heart bled within his chest. "So, do you realize your mistake or not?" Morris growled in a furious tone pushing Christian on to the floor, "What do you have to say for yourself, you useless little wretch?" Christian looked at Morris. He had no strength left, but his eyes were full of hatred. "I didn’t… I didn’t do anything!" The words barely got out of Christian's throat before Morris swung a baseball bat to hit him. Christian's breath left him in a harsh gasp, pain piercing through his ribs. He cur

    "No," Christian whispered, feeling a piercing pain in his heart as if something precious had been ripped off from him. He clutched his chest, staring with a painful face at the shattered pieces of his mother’s necklace scattered across the cold ground. The last thing he had of her, his only source of comfort, now got destroyed, and he barely had the strength left to reach it. His vision blurred minute by minute, and his legs froze making it hard for him to reach for the broken pieces. A harsh laugh brought him back to reality. Ivan stood over him, with a twisted smirk on his face, "Look at you, pathetic as ever, such a fool you're!" He sneered, raising his foot and kicked Christian brutally, making him to cough blood. The huge pain passed through Christian's frail body, and he gasped hard, with a low cry, crumbling on the ground. Christian felt his consciousness slipping away, hunger pangs increasing inside him, while his limbs froze due to the chilling coldness, every breath w

  • The Lost Heir Of Sargent   DRAG HIM OUT OF THERE IMMEDIATELY

    "No matter how many times you call for him, he won't be coming honey." Teresa appeared beside Morris, frowning slightly, as she remembered none being at home in their absence, apart from Christian all alone locked in the attic, still she spoke in an indifferent tone, "Why?" Morris questioned in a frustrated tone, to which Teresa shrugged, as if it were no more than a passing inconvenience, "our butler left days ago to look after his sick mother, when he is not even here, how can he answer you?" Morris was stunned for a moment hearing to Teresa, a flicker of guilt appeared in his face as he almost became speechless, "So, Chris has been here for three days without food or water?" "Maybe, I don't know either," Teresa replied awkwardly, not wanting to be blamed, "he did something wrong and he was punished, I can't be punished for his mistakes, right?" Morris couldn't help but to question her, "even so, he was left with no food and water for almost three days, why didn't you remind me?

  • The Lost Heir Of Sargent   HE'LL NEVER RETURN!

    Morris ran to the backyard, sweating profusely, but there was no one there, not even Christian. "Fuck! Where are the Sargent family? Where is my asshole son!" Morris roared loudly in the backyard. "The Sargent family," a maid said in a trembling voice, "they left already." "What?" Both Morris and Teressa exchanged their glances. Teressa frowned at the maid, "what do you mean by they left, how can they leave without meeting my husband?" The maid shook her head as she had a lot to say, "actually they didn't leave by themselves, they left along with young master Chris." "Huh?" Morris's emotions looked unstable as at that moment a mixture of confusion, anger, and frustration filled in him hearing to the words of that maid. While he had waited for hours, expecting to meet them, but all he had received was a message from a maid saying they had already left with Christian, the useless guy in the house. "Why would the Sargent family leave without meeting me? That too why is t

    "Seize the traffic!" Betty Sargent commanded through the call, the entire city was seized with no single vehicle on the road being an obstacle for them. The second daughter Liliana made a call to the international hospital, "I want the top most skilled doctors to be arranged in your hospital within a few minutes, if not be ready to face my wrath!" Her warning made the party on the other side to shiver in fear and make the arrangements just as Liliana wanted. Within no time they reached Skylands elite hospital. Looking at the emblem of the Sargent family on the sleek black cars, the special entrance was opened, through the special entrance without any hindrance of buzzing patients and hospital, all of them got inside along with Christian Top most doctors are standing with their trembling bodies, as the Sargent family's power is well known and their mere presence is enough to make people terrified.

    "As you command my Lord!" Bowing his head, butler left the room. "Father, I informed the brothers too, they said they'll be here in a few minutes," Betty informed Lord Sargent in a calm tone. Lord Sargent nodded, and shifted his concentration back to Christian who is still unconscious, "weak and fragile, yet those monsters dared to hurt him!" Christian’s weak body moved slightly, and he could hear a soft voice, "father, he is moving!" It's an unfamiliar voice, which he never heard, trying his best, he opened his eyes, but bright light made him blink hard, the blues of his scanned the entire room and met unfamiliar faces surrounding him. For a moment, he froze in fear, confusion and nervousness evident in his face. Those small hands and trembling fingers of his, clutched the thin blanket. Lord Sargent noticed it immediately, his heart aching as he saw the look of fear in his grandson’s eyes, he used to feel proud when people were scared of him, but looking at his own grandson t

  • The Lost Heir Of Sargent   WILL YOU HURT ME TOO?

    "It seems your uncles couldn't wait to meet you, they're also your mother's siblings, your uncles, they are here for you." Lord Sargent smiled looking at the helicopter. Liliana glancing at the helicopters rolled her eyes, "brothers never leave a chance to show off! Look at the landing in helicopters and trying to impress my nephew!" "Impress me?" Christian asked in a surprised tone, Liliana nodded with a frown. The door to the room burst open, and two middle-aged men rushed inside. Their faces lit up with happiness as soon as they took a glance at Christian. Two men have expressions a mixture of relief, joy, and agony. "Father!" one of the men exclaimed, with a bright smile as he couldn't take his eyes away from Christian, "Is this him? Is this our nephew?" Lord Sargent nodded proudly, placing a hand on Christian’s shoulder. "Yes, he is the one your sister informed you both about, both of you, meet Christian, he is Mary’s son, and your precious nephew." The two of them approa

    "What are you talking about?" Ezra turned to him, confusion written all over his face, as he couldn't understand what Christian is talking about.Christian’s eyes lit with something new, not sorrow this time, but with excitement. "That seal... the one you told me about, it's in Adam's mansion, there she hid it, I know where it is." Without saying anything further, Christian stepped out of the room, Ezra also didn’t question him, he simply followed silently."Where are you going Chrissy?" Liliana asked Christian with a gentle tone as he was about to leavevthe house, Christian calmly said, "I've some work in Adams mansion aunt, I'll be back very quickly." Liliana held his hand, "Why don't I come along with you?"Christian hesitated to take her along, as he isn't going there for fun but to search for something.Noticing Christian's hesitating, Liliana said, "Umm it's okay, let the guards follow you, they'll be watching you from distance, will not disturb you," she gently caressed his f

  • I KNOW WHERE IT IS

    "Please wake up," Christian pleaded, holding the woman’s bloodied form in his arms, while is voice cracked with deep fear and anxiety. "You can't die, I can't watch you die...." Charles slowly knelt beside him, hand resting on her neck for a moment to check her pulse. Once he is done with checking her pulse, his expression turned grave."She’s gone, Chris."The words hit like a cold splash, Christian stiffened, staring down at her pale, and peaceful face. Her last words are still repeated in his mind, "Marie is alive." "No... she can't be..." He tightened his hold on her as if he could force life back into her broken body, "I didn't even express my gratitude for what she has done to me, yet she is dead, why? Why does she have to die?" Liliana crouched beside him, her eyes glassy with emotion as she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Chrissy," she whispered gently, "it's quite saddening to see her dying, but you should be happy too, because she brought you something precious..

  • MARIE IS ALIVE

    "Am I really unfit to pass through that door?" "What does that voice meant by I'm a mixed blood?""Can't I be a part of Solaris?" Christian sat at the edge of the balcony, arms resting on the cold iron railing as his eyes looked at the blank sky.The morning sun was barely rising, casting a soft golden glow across the estate grounds. But his thoughts were elsewhere, still circling the words that had shattered him and his heart."A mixed blood like you can’t enter."That phrase haunted him, it had broken something inside him, and awakened something too.He clenched the torn edge of his sleeve, fingers curling as if grasping for answers that refused to come. "What did it mean?" "Who am I, really?" His mother, Marie, had been a mystery all his life, a woman who smiled softly but never spoke of her past, whose eyes always seemed to look far beyond him, like she was hiding worlds he would never understand.Now, Christian needed to know those worlds. Every secret.... Every truth....

  • WHO AM I REALLY?

    "Second trial?" Christian stood with renewed confidence after shattering the illusions of the first trial. His legs were still unsteady, but his spirit sparkled brighter than ever. He could feel it, the determined fire inside him, finally no longer flickering in doubt.Liliana helped him steady himself with a gentle hand on his arm, her eyes glittering with pride and lingering worry."You good?" She asked quietly, "Is everything okay? You're not injured anywhere, are you?" Christian nodded, brushing dust from his pants. "I think I'm okay aunt." She fussed over his dusty hair. "Ugh, look at you completely messy!""It's okay, aunt," he smiled at her as she is wiping off dust from his face.Charles didn’t say anything but gave him a short nod of acknowledgment. Lord Sargent, as always, was composed, but Christian saw something shift in his eyes, pride.Then, with no warning, the chamber changed once again keeping all of them anxious for a couple of minutes.The golden veins in the w

  • I'M A TRUE SARGENT

    "Don't be nervous, Chrissy," Liliana tried to cheer him after looking at his pale face, Christian forced an awkward smile, "is it obvious?"Liliana nodded her head, Christian chuckled nervously, "well, I can't help..." Liliana gently rubbed Christian's back, "It's okay, everything will be fine." Soon, the golden door that had stood like a sentinel at the heart of the chamber suddenly shimmered, the constellations etched into its surface rearranging one final time before dissolving into light. In its place, something else showed up, it's an ornate mirror, tall and attractive, its frame of obsidian entwined with delicate golden vines that pulsed faintly, like veins carrying some ancient energy giving familiar vibes with an earlier golden door.The chamber fell quite all of a sudden sending nervous shivers in everyone's spine.Even the golden veins on the walls dimmed slightly, as if holding their breath.Christian stared at the mirror, and his heart pounded so hard that it's almost a

  • I'M READY!

    "You might also become a Guardian of Solaris just like your mother," Lord Sargent said with a gentle smile looking at Christian who is a spitting image of his daughter.Christian turned to him, confusion clouding his features. "Guardians? What does that mean? What's the role of a Guardian?" Liliana and Charles exchanged an unreadable glance before Lord Sargent continued."Protectors, Guardians are protectors of this place Chris, your mother was one of the few who had access to the realm of Solaris, since it's not a place for everyone and a place only the awakened can reach." The word ‘awakened’ stirred something deep inside Christian as he remembered Ezra's words.The strange energy he had felt within himself for weeks-the inexplicable strength, the heightened senses, the nightmares that felt like memories-everything suddenly seemed connected."Why didn't anyone tell me before about this?" He asked, his voice low but edged with something sharp more than curiosity, "No matter how man

  • SHOULD I ACCEPT THIS AS MY FATE?

    "Solaris?" the weight of that name is heavy, it rang familiar in his ears, stirring something deep within Christian.Like a whisper at the edge of his mind, something he should remember but couldn't quite grasp."Isn't it a place I asked you before, Grandpa?" He asked with a confused face, not understanding why his grandfather brought up that name now, when previously he didn't say anything no matter how much he insisted on knowing about that place."Yes," Lord Sargent nodded. "It is the birthplace of everything. Our bloodline, our legacy... our power."Christian's brows furrowed. "You're saying this isn't just a rich family with a long history?"Liliana chuckled softly. "Chrissy, the Sargents aren't just wealthy, we are one of the oldest and most powerful bloodlines in existence.""Powerful how? Superpowers?" Christian asked, crossing his arms.Lord Sargent gestured towards the strange objects around them. "Yes, the powers which normal people feel difficult to understand but too norm

  • YOU MUST FIRST KNOW ABOUT OUR ORIGIN

    "Prepared for what?" Christian looked kind of confused, "Are we going to do something or what?" Lord Sargent said with a soft voice, "Let's go, if not we will be late." "Huh? Go where grandpa?" Despite Christian's confusion, none explained anything to him, they're on their way already, he is just following behind them like a puppy who is afraid of getting lost.They're not getting into cars or anything else, just on their feet walking right within the estate keeping him clueless making it hard to figure out, the Sargent estate was vast-too vast for Christian to have explored all of it yet. Even after many weeks of staying there, the place still held so many unfamiliar corners, rooms that seemed untouched, and corridors that whispered of history far older than he could understand.But nothing could have prepared him for what was about to happen that evening.Lord Sargent had told him very little, just giving small clarification about going somewhere, but the way he said it made it
