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
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
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,
