The Return of the Legendary Student    Deadpan
The ride from the premises of the company back to the Castle took about thirty minutes as the cars moved through the busy roads occupied by other road users who were also on their way to their various destinations. Rebecca stoked interval glances at Liam, waiting for the rogue opportunity to start up a conversation, but Liam’s deadpan countenance gave her no chance to say even a single word. “Miss West?” Liam turned to look at her while they were getting really close to the avenue that led to the castle. “Yes, Lord Emrys,” Rebecca answered with a bright smile on her face, unintentionally showing the excitement she felt from hearing her name from the young CEO’s mouth. Liam waited for a few seconds while still trying to find out the reason behind the excitement on her face. “How long have you been working in the company?” “Three weeks, Lord Emrys. Just three weeks.” Rebecca responded while still maintaining her smile, nodding almost at the same time. “I see…” Liam w
The Return of the Legendary Student    My parents!
Liam pushed himself up from the bed, turning to look at Brina who was still standing close to the wall behind the bed with a smile on her face. “I wonder when I am going to get used to you showing up on me like that.” Liam sat on the bed, looking at Brina who slowly walked up to the bed and sat down beside him. Her smile showed so much excitement, causing Liam to forget that she had startled him a while ago to focus on the strange look on her face. “You seem unusually excited, Brina.” “Oh, you noticed.” Brina chuckled excitedly, looking at Liam who was hoping that she could give her a solid reason behind her unusual mood. “Did you also notice something else, Emrys?” Brina lifted her eyebrows while she maintained her smile, waiting patiently to hear what Liam was going to say. “Am I supposed to notice any other thing? I am not sure I can be able to read minds.” “Look closer, Emrys. What you seek is right in front of you.” Brina blinked severally and lifted her hands as thou
The Return of the Legendary Student    Peace!
Brina’s countenance showed intense struggle while she tried to make up her mind over what she was going to tell Liam who was paying keen attention, and wanted to hear whatever she was going to say to him. “I see that you are eager to get an answer, Emrys,” Brina said calmly and smiled at Liam who remained silent with so much eagerness to hear what she was going to say. “Your parents both originated from lines of supernaturals. Your father was a powerful wizard, and your mother, your mother…she was a nymph who had special abilities. They were blessed by the Divine, but their love was forbidden.” Brina paused for a while and took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she continued with a low tone. “They had duties that they were obliged to carry out in their different worlds, but they decided to abandon them for the sake of the love they had for each other. The safest place to hide was on Earth, this realm where supernatural creatures could hide without being noticed…
The Return of the Legendary Student    Mine tastes better
After a few hours of sound sleeping, Liam woke up from sleep and stood up from the bed. He went into the bathroom and took a long shower before he put on fresh clothes walked out of his chambers and headed to the dining hall. “Good evening, Lord Emrys…” “Good evening, Gladys” Liam greeted the middle-aged lady who was standing by a corner of the dining hall, smiling with her hands clasped together. “You are right on time for dinner. I was almost about to ask Mr. Alfred to knock at your door.” “Oh, I see…” Liam sighed softly while he reciprocated the smile from the middle-aged lady. “Well, I am here now. What do you have for me?”“Why don’t you just have a seat and find out yourself?” Gladys gestured to the table, and Liam grabbed the seat by the right end of the table and sat down slowly. He adjusted himself almost immediately and placed his hands on the table. “Well?” He turned to look at Gladys who quickly grabbed the dish cover to reveal the food inside the dish. “O
The Return of the Legendary Student    Briefing
Gladys bowed slowly, and then she walked away while Liam looked at her until she was out of sight. He sighed softly and returned his face to Rebecca who was almost done eating the little portion of food on her plate, and dropped the fork she was holding in her right hand as soon as she saw that Liam was looking at her, pretending not to have been enjoying the food.“Miss West, you seem to be enjoying the food, I guess it isn’t as bad as you said it was.” “I just had to manage it, Lord Emrys. I didn’t want it to seem like I wanted to waste it. I promise that there are better ways to cook this. I can prove it to you by bringing some for you tomorrow.” “Oh, no. There will be no need for that, Miss West. I am totally fine.” Liam retorted at once, and with a smirk on his face while Rebecca sighed in a little disappointment even though she already knew that Liam was going to decline her offer. “I think you should finish your food before it gets really cold, I don’t think you will l
The Return of the Legendary Student    The portal
Liam walked into his bedroom at once, and when he was about to move to the bed, a thought crept into his mind, he slowly walked up to the cabinet close to his bed, opened the drawer, and pulled out the golden dagger which belonged to Circe. Sitting on the bed, and carefully holding onto it with his right hand, he looked at it for a while, observing the unique carvings on it, and the fact that he had never seen a knife as sharp as it, not even the ones used in the restaurant where he worked as a waiter. “What is so special about you?” He whispered to the dagger as though it could hear him, looking at the sharp edge, and wondering the kind of steel used in making it. “Brina mentioned that it was forged by the dwarves and one of the greatest weapons of all time. This is so handy to be a great weapon.” Liam pushed his index finger on the sharp tip of the dagger, and ur stung him at once, causing him to grunt at once while he looked at the spot on his finger where the tip of the dagg
The Return of the Legendary Student    Lord Phaunos
Liam felt a strange sensation inside him as he was sucked into the portal that took him to an unknown destination. The first sight that attacked his eyes was that of darkness that had no iota of light until he began to see tiny stars that appeared slowly from the sky. “Emrys!” The male husky voice came again, echoing all over the ambiance, and making it very difficult for him to focus while he struggled to know where the voice was coming from exactly. Slowly, he landed on the hard floor that was covered with darkness, still looking around amidst the silence that surrounded the entire place as soon as the voice was dome echoing. “Emrys? Come forward. Come…” The voice echoed again, causing Liam to turn around slowly, but he was still unable to find out where the voice was coming from. “Who are you? Where am I?” Liam turned around for the umpteenth time, still looking around while he struggled with the bemusement that engulfed him. He continued to listen with full attention,
The Return of the Legendary Student    Pegasus
Liam stared at Lord Phaunos as he walked toward his throne, his hands were clasped behind him, and he walked very slowly as though he was waiting for Liam to join him. When Liam saw that Lord Phaunos was getting farther away from him with every step he took, he had to go after him, increasing his steps as well just to make sure he caught up with him. Lord Phaunos continued walking until he got very close to his throne before he stood still and turned toward his right with a smile on his face. “I want to take you somewhere, Emrys. Somewhere I think you need to see…” Lord Phaunos said with a low tone while Liam stepped forward, eager to know where he was going to take him. “We need a ride to that place. Hold on, I will get us one.” Lord Phaunos lifted both hands in the air while Liam looked up with a little nervousness, thinking that he was going to see the huge dragon that he dreaded. Instead, a bright light appeared in the sky, and two white-winged horses appeared at once wi

The Ogre
The three of them looked ahead, attempting to see what was ahead of them, but there was nothing, not even a shadow.“Whatever that was, it doesn’t sound friendly all all.” Mr. Gary said with a shaky voice, struggling to get a grip on himself just like Maya who hurried to stand behind Liam. “Stay close, guys. Whatever that was, it senses us as threats, and I am sure it’s going to come out from wherever it is.” Liam said calmly, looking ahead while the others stood behind him. The growl came back again, accompanied by louder echoes that reverberated from several corners of the dungeon. They could hear the sound of chains rattling from some of the dungeons, but that was the least of their troubles. As soon as the echoes from the growl went silent, the sound of heavy tromping on the hard floor followed suit, causing more tension in the bodies while they kept their shaky eyes staring in its direction. Taking in a deep breath, Liam exhaled some of the tension inside him while he he

Hidden Castle
After almost an hour of driving on the road, they eventually arrived at their destination and alighted from the car before heading down the hill that led to the sea. The hill was located on the outskirts of the city, a place where anyone hardly came, and they could hear the sound of birds and crickets chirping from a distance, and owls hooting from the top of the trees where they nestled. Darkness was already upon them, and even though Maya was afraid that she could fall from the hill as they climbed down, the thought of Liam being close to her made her continue. “That’s the sea over there, Lord Emrys!” Mr. Gary pointed as soon as he saw the sea, still surging under the effects of the wind, cascading from one point to the other while the three of them moved to it, eager to accomplish their mission.Standing in front of the sea, Liam and Maya looked at Mr. Gary who was the only one who knew what next to do, but the look on his face showed that he was struggling with a strange fe

Last Resort
Liam left the Castle as soon as he was well-rested. He headed to the Tavern, hoping that Mr. Gary was back from his travel while he sauntered into the building, ignoring the eyes that stared at him with keen attention. “That’s him! That’s the one I told you about! Strange isn’t he? He walks silently, yet his strength is as noisy as the turbulence of the sea.” One of the old men who recognized Liam whispered to his friend who was not present at the tavern the previous night. Some of the other men in the tavern who recognized him cringed with a little tension, flashes of the memories from the previous night couldn’t leave their minds. They had always been afraid of the assailants who tried to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Gary was not around, and the fact that Liam single-handedly beat them to a pulp made them very wary of him. Some of them adjusted themselves quickly, hoping not to offend him for any reason. Even the stares from his orbs were enough to send jitters down their

Clue
Liam was gradually becoming very impatient with Reggie, but he tried as much as he could to remain calm. “Reggie?” “Yes! Jack! He had an emergency, and he had to leave! Yes, that’s what happened!” Reggie chuckled again to cover his nervousness. “He had an emergency? What type of emergency?”“Erm? He…He.” Reggie stuttered, and more sweatballs streamed down his face while he searched for the right answer to give to Liam. “His mum sent him on an errand! Yes! An errand…” Reggie nodded to affirm his words while he continued to avoid eye contact with Liam who nodded slowly. “It’s fine,” Liam said with a low tone, and then he looked at the others who quickly withdrew their gazes from him at once, pretending to be talking about something else. “Yeah! He should be home now, probably with his mum. You should check his house.” “Alright. Thank you, Reggie.” Liam waved at Reggie with a smile on his face, and then he turned slowly and walked back to his car. Sitting silently, Liam

Where is Jack?
Liam saw that the old lady was gradually becoming very apprehensive, and he looked for a means to get her to calm down. He forced a smile on his face, but that still wasn’t enough to get her to calm down. “Where is Noah? What happened to him?”“I need you to calm down, Miss Thompson. Noah is safe, he is probably out there someone on one of his jobs.” “I don’t believe that! Noah would never go anywhere without telling me!” The old lady stood up from her seat at once and struggled to walk toward Liam who hurriedly grabbed her when he noticed that she was about to stagger. “What happened to Noah? Tell me! He said he was going to a party with you last night!” She looked into Liam’s eyes, making him look away at once, cringed by a little guilt. “Please, have a seat, Miss Thompson. I promise to tell you everything that happened.” Liam gently led the old lady back to her seat. He removed the wool, the scissors, and the knitting needle from the chair before he made sure she was comfo

Where is Noah?
Waking up the next morning, Liam couldn’t stop thinking about his encounter with Maya and the little children who reminded him so much about himself. Growing up in the orphanage was too tough for him, and he had to struggle his way to be able to put himself in school, moving from one job to the other in order to make a living. He couldn’t have much for breakfast and even the Chauffeur noticed that he was unusually quiet throughout the ride from the castle down to Hilton’s college. “We are here, Lord Emrys,” Andy said calmly after turning to look at Liam who was still lost in thought. He had been staring at him through the rearview mirror, wondering what had kept him thinking for such a long time. “Thank you, Andy. I will see you after school.” Liam got out of the car and shut the door at once before he walked away while the Chauffeur watched him for a few seconds before he drove out of the school premises. Liam expected to see Noah who usually waited for him in front of the

The Orohanage
Liam watched the children with keen attention, and he couldn’t get rid of the nostalgic feeling that crept into his body, making him smile even without knowing it. He watched as some of them grabbed Maya’s hands and her clothes, and led her toward the only couch inside the house. “Maya! We made some cupcakes for you!”“Oh! Really?” Maya chuckled, looking at the children who seemed very excited about the words from the teenage boy who opened the door. He was the oldest among them and was obviously the leader. “I will be right back!” He ran off at once and returned a few seconds later with a plastic plate that contained two pieces of cupcakes. “We knew that you would be very exhausted and hungry by the time you get back, and we decided to make this for you.” He handed the plate over to Maya who laughed pleasantly. “Oh, Dave! This is lovely! That’s so sweet of you! All of you!” Maya looked at the cupcakes with a smile on her face while the children watched her keenly. The c

Unsafe
Maya wanted to believe the words she heard from Liam, but she couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t get hurt by Raph’s dagger. “Maya? Don’t be scared, okay? I am not going to hurt you, I promise.” Liam reassured her again and waited patiently until she eventually decided to listen to him. After a few seconds of struggling with the conflict in her nerves, Maya sighed heavily, and then she managed to get a grip on herself. “I will listen to you only if you explain everything to me. You are going to tell me how you were able to do that.” Maya said nervously, looking at Liam who nodded after a few seconds. “I agree, I will tell you everything you need to know. Can we go somewhere private and talk?” Liam said when he realized that everyone was staring at him without any plans of looking away any time soon. “Just give me a few minutes.” Maya retorted almost immediately, and then she walked back to the counter to put things in order before leading Liam to the back where they sa

Harmless
The man who Maya punched was so furious that he growled angrily, and leaned forward over the counter to grab her. “That’s not a good way to treat a lady, don’t you think so?” Liam was on time to pull the man backward with his left hand while he put a smile on his face. “Who the hell are you? Get your hands off me!” The man grunted angrily, glaring at Liam who lifted his hands slowly without letting go of his smile. “I am just her friend. I am not here for any kind of trouble, okay? I am just here to see Mr. Gary.” Liam looked at the five men surrounding him, and it was obvious that he had succeeded in pissing them off. He took two steps backward while his hands were still in the air, but they moved closer to him, making sure that he didn’t have any space to escape. Maya was relieved that her assailants had moved away from her, but she was worried that Liam was not going to be able to defend himself against the five of them. “You made a terrible mistake coming here, boy! Mr.
