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

    Liam woke up the next morning to see Brina sitting next to him on the bed while she kept her eyes on him, smiling pleasantly. “Good morning, Emrys. I am sure you had a good rest.”“I had the weirdest dream ever.” Liam groaned loudly, stretching his arms while he yawned loudly, causing Brina to lean backward, looking at him with a smirk on her face. “Tell me about this dream of yours, Emrys. Did you see anyone?” Brina asked while Liam uncovered himself with the duvet, and climbed down the bed while he struggled to keep his eyes open. “What are you doing here so early, Brina? Don’t you have anything to do in the infinite forest?”“Something like what?” Brina asked at once, looking at Liam who cleared his throat before giving her a response. “I don’t know! Maybe you can take care of the creatures there, tend to the ones who are sick, and even help them build whatever has been destroyed.” Liam yawned again, but not as loud as he did earlier while Brina chuckled softly before she

  • The Return of the Legendary Student    Not intended

    Liam stared at the book in his hands for a few seconds, and when he eventually resolved to follow his instincts, he closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh before following the direction of the sensation that engulfed him a few seconds later. “Go on, Emrys. Let the book show you how to unlock it, look out for the location of the key.” Brina said calmly, smiling while she continued staring at Liam who had a neutral expression on his face until after a few seconds when a smile appeared on his face. Brina chuckled instantly the moment she saw the look on his face, nodding with so much satisfaction. “I think I've got it, Brina!” Liam said excitedly as soon as he opened his eyes just before he looked at the book closely, pushing it upward to his face. “I am sure you do, Emrys. Well-done.” Brina chuckled again, looking at Liam who sighed heavily just before taking another glance at the book which he dropped back on the bed. “What now?” He said to Brina the moment he stood erect,

    Rebecca didn’t seem happy to see the Butler, but even though she showed it on her face, the middle -aged man couldn’t care less as he didn’t even take note of the look on her face while he concentrated on Liam who turned to look at him as soon as he heard his voice. “Hello, Alfred. I had a wonderful night. What about you?”“I did too, thank you, Lord Emrys.” Alfred nodded with a smile on his face just before he stole a quick glance at Rebecca whom he smirked at. “Miss West? I see that you took the liberty to make breakfast for Lord Emrys. I didn’t know it was also part of your job description to be his chef.” Rebecca was speechless at that moment, she tried to look at the Butler, but the expression she saw on his face was enough to make her withdraw her gaze at once. Left with no choice, she turned to look at Liam who was speechless, expecting him to say something, but it seemed like he was in support of whatever the butler was doing. “I will just take this back to the kitc

  • The Return of the Legendary Student    Gary’s Tavern

    Andy realized that he didn’t have any other choice but to do as Liam instructed. He turned on the ignition of the car and drove out of the premises at an increasing speed. As he drove to the familiar neighborhood, Andy looked around, nervous about the nature of his neighborhood. “We are here, Lord Emrys,” Andy announced as soon as he got to the exact location Liam spoke about while he turned around to look at him without turning off the ignition of the car. “Already?” Liam said calmly, looking through the windows of the car until he was able to see the tavern located by the right corner of the street. Andy was surprised that Liam didn’t know where he was going, he looked at him for a few seconds before he nodded in response. “Alright. You wait right here, I will be back as soon as I can.” Liam grabbed the handle of the door at once, opened the door, and walked out before he slammed the door instantly. “Do you want me to come with you, Lord Emrys? You could need me.” Andy a

  • The Return of the Legendary Student    Mr. Gary

    Liam continued to stare at the beautiful lady for a while, unable to resist the urge to admire her. Everything about her made him want to know more about her, her smile, great beauty, and especially her good sense of humor. “It’s really nice to meet you, Maya. I wonder what a pretty girl like you is doing in a place like this.” Liam looked around the tavern, expressing his displeasure. “Well, not everyone is opportune to come from a rich family like you. I am sure you have someone who cooks for you.” Maya retorted at once, cleaning the inside of one of the glasses with the white napkin she grabbed from the counter below her. “And you can tell this by merely looking at me?” Lim asked with a voice a little above a whisper, looking at Maya who slowly lifted her face from the glass she was carefully holding onto, and nodded in response.“Am I wrong? Don’t you have someone who cooks for you?” Maya asked confidently, but Liam was unable to give her a response at once. He chuckled sof

    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!
