Liam paid full attention to the vision Lord Phaunos showed him, focusing on the six heirs seated on their different thrones. He could recognize Lord Phaunos who seemed to be their leader and was the first to speak. The rest of the heirs were looking at him, obviously, they were waiting for him to speak while he slowly stood up from his throne, adjusted his throne, and cleared his throat before he began to address them. “I welcome you all to this meeting. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you, knowing fully that you all will be occupied in your different realms.” “Lord Phaunos, tell us the reason why you called us. We do not have all day to be here, and as you rightly stated, we are very busy. This isn’t the actual time when the heirs are supposed to be gathered.” Said a tall man with an imposing stature and a brown mustache that stood tall and curved above his mouth. His red eyes portrayed evidence of his vile nature, and his desperation to conquer and rul
Liam woke up the next morning with thoughts of the events of the previous night lingering in his mind alongside the appointment he had with Noah Johnson at the school storehouse. He spent almost half of the day doing nothing apart from the eating and making plans while he took some some time off, scrolling through the contents he saw on social media.Eventually, it was time to leave for the school, and he got ready at once, carrying his dagger along with him just in case he was going to have any need for it. Clad in comfortable attire, and with black boots that he was certain he could run with, Liam walked out of his chambers with his phone in his pocket, and the dagger carefully tucked into his pants. He descended the stairs slowly, and while he was halfway to the ground floor, he saw Gladys and Monica standing very close to the rail as though they had been waiting for him.“Is everything alright, Ladies?” Liam stared at them curiously, not sure of what to deduce from the loo
Liam adjusted his clothes while he looked at the Chauffeur through the window of the car. He could see the look of worry on his face, but that didn’t stop him from smiling. “Don’t worry about me, Andy. I will be alright, okay?” “Mr. Alfred said I should make sure that you are alright.” Andy said with a nervous tone, looking at Liam who chuckled softly without looking away from him. “Don’t worry, Andy. I will be totally fine, I promise. Just stay close to your phone, I will call you once I am done, okay?” “If you say so, Lord Emrys.” Andy responded with a whisper before he grabbed the steering wheel with both hands and sighed heavily. “Go on, Andy. Go get some rest.” Liam tapped on the body of the car while the Chauffeur reluctantly drove the car out of the school vicinity at a slow but steady speed. Liam and Noah looked at the car until it was almost out of sight before Noah got rid of the silence between them. “Is that one of your cars?” Noah asked excitedly, look
Liam waited for a few seconds, but Brina refused to say anything while he continued scouring the entire corners of the library, looking at the books and the scrolls that were balanced on the shelves hanging on the walls. Some of them were way up high and the staircase built on the walls needed to be ascended before getting to them. “Brina? You are not saying anything.”“Follow your heart, Emrys.” Brina retorted at once, causing Liam to scoff at once, not sure he was satisfied with the response he got from Brina. “How is that supposed to help, Brina? I don’t even know what this book looks like, and it would definitely take a while before I can find it.”“The amulet will help you, Emrys. I have no doubt that you will surely find it. Follow your heart, Warlord. The book is closer than you think…” “Who are you talking to?” Noah’s voice startled Liam almost immediately, causing him to turn to look at him while he cleared his throat, pretending not to know what he was talking about.
The bright green light on the necklace had stopped shining, and it also stopped vibrating, but Liam could still feel the strange sensation that was drawing him toward the opening. He looked deeper into it, and he could see a bridge built across two cliffs. It was made of wood, but there was no guarantee that it was still strong as the ropes attached to it were old and rusty. “Are you going in there?” Noah asked with a nervous tone, looking at Liam who turned to look at him without saying a word. “Emrys? I think this is a really bad idea.” Noah said at once, looking at Liam who was walking toward the bridge with slow but steady steps, looking at something that looked like a cage at the other side. “Emrys? Wait! Listen to me!” Noah tried to call out to Liam, but he ignored him and continued walking slowly, being very careful not to fall off the bridge. After a few seconds, Liam stopped while he held onto the ropes attached to the bridge, and then he turned to look at Noah who
Liam agreed with the words he heard from Noah because he had gotten what he wanted and felt he didn't have any other thing to do inside the library. “I agree with you, Noah. Let’s get out of this place.” Liam started heading toward the tunnel while Noah followed him at once, looking around anxiously. “Hurry, Emrys. I can still hear those voices, I think we are not alone inside here.” Noah walked very close to Liam who was already a few meters away from the tunnel when they heard the sound of footsteps running through one of the aisles in the library. “Did you hear that?” Noah turned at once, looking around the library, but everything was just the way they were. “I heard it too, Noah. Do you think anyone is here with us?”“I don’t know, Emrys. But I to of you that I could hear voices.” Noah said with a shaky voice, looking at Liam who scoured all the corners of the library that were visible to them, searching for whatever made the sound. “We have to leave this place at once,
Liam was composed at that moment, but the intense fear that gripped Noah at that moment conflicted with his composure, giving him the concern of worrying about his welfare. “Emrys? I am scared! I don’t wanna be eaten by those dogs! They look very scary!” Noah continued staring anxiously at the dogs that were slowly getting closer and closer. “Just stay calm, Noah. Stay calm, and we will be fine.” “Are you kidding me? There is no way I am waiting for these dogs to eat me alive! I am out!” Noah took to his heels, swinging his hands aggressively as he ran through the avenue in front of him. “Noah! Wait! Wait!” Liam called out to him, but he was already about five kilometers away from him, running farther away from one of the dogs who went after him while the other waited for an opportunity to attack Liam who was standing still, looking eyeball to eyeball with it. “He shouldn’t have made any move.” Liam sighed heavily, looking at Noah who was almost out of sight while he also lo
While the dog was still in the air, Liam held it on the neck with both hands, tightening his grip while the dog barked loudly, struggling to free himself from Liam’s tight grasp all to no avail. “Whoa!” Noah gasped at the sight in front of him, staring at the sight of Liam holding onto the dog with so much ease. His mouth was agape, and he almost let go of the things he was holding onto with both hands. “Stay calm! Stay calm! Stop struggling or I will make you!” Liam warned the dog, but it refused to listen, still barking and growling while it continued struggling in an attempt to free itself from Liam’s tight grip. Its partner stood still, barking at Liam, probably telling him to let go of it, but it couldn’t do anything as it was afraid of meeting the same fate. “You just don’t want to listen!” Liam grunted in a little frustration, and reacting to the anger that engulfed him, he lowered the dog at once and pressed it really hard on the ground while it continued struggling, g
