Looking around,Storm noticed there were flowers blooming all around like it was summer when in fact it was winter. The vibrant colors of the petals, the lush green of the leaves, and the sweet scent of roses filled the air, creating a calm and beautiful atmosphere. Storm's worries had stopped immediately he got to the garden,it was an ability of the garden.It was like the place was not affected by the changes of weather. Though this was not his first time coming here, he was shocked by his realization. The garden seemed to exist in a bubble, untouched by the harshness of the cold that the rest of the world felt.Storm only felt warm as he walked into the garden. He loved coming here, he enjoyed how warm it was when it was cold outside. His mind raced as he thought of different possibilities like the orb being inside the garden.Everyone had always thought that the School's garden remaining Summer all through was just because of a spell cast there,they didn't know who had cast the spel
This discovery got Storm excited, but he knew that he couldn't be too happy. He had to look for the orb. Now he was sure that the Orb was in the garden, but how was he going to start to search for it? The garden was vast, each corner potentially held the Orb. Since he had been coming to the garden,he hadn't gone through the whole garden.He never saw a reason to,he had only enjoyed sitting on the bench in the garden. The garden comforted him everytime he came here. He thought about the possibilities of the orb being there.The Orb being in the garden didn't mean that it wouldn't have any restrictions. The thought of the orb's power sent a shiver down his spine. If it were left unguarded, the power of the orb alone was enough to keep the whole school in one season and also many other wonders.But at the moment, the power of the orb was confined to the garden, and he was thinking of how to get it. The orb's power was not something to be toyed with, and he knew that he wouldn't find it ea
After thinking for a while, Storm realized that he might not be powerful enough to remove the Orb. The weight of this realization settled heavily on his shoulders. The orb wasn't ordinary, it carried a lot of power, and he wouldn't be able to take it on his own. He thought about his friends,he couldn't ask them for help because he didn't want to get them involved and didn't want to drag them into his chaotic life. His friends had their own battles to fight, their own lives to live. Involving his friends would only put them in unnecessary danger and complicate things further. He couldn't afford that; he wanted his friends journey in school to be smooth, unlike his own. Maybe he should ask just one person for help and tell them to keep it a secret. Would that person agree? He thought about Lucy, she had wanted the orb all along, maybe she would agree to help him."She definitely wouldn't after what happened," he thought. Storm sighed and kicked a pebble into the pond, watching as
Three days later, Storm was getting anxious waiting for the Magebreaker to come. Each passing hour felt like an eternity, and the weight of the situation was pressing down on him. He knew that there were creatures looking for the Orb, and the thought of them finding it before Magebreaker arrived filled him with dread. The Orb was a powerful object, and in the wrong hands, it could spell disaster. This fear gnawed at him, making it difficult to focus on anything else. What if those creatures got it before Magebreaker? Would Magebreaker be able to defeat them? He knew he wouldn't be able to, but he wasn't sure about the Magebreaker. Would the Magebreaker spare him after getting the orb? What would happen if the Magebreaker takes control of the orb? He would be the most powerful person, and he would definitely not be able to beat him. His system was useless when it came to the orb, he wasn't strong enough to take hold of it.Would those creatures come after him if they learned that he k
The garden felt different. It was as if it sensed Magebreaker’s energy and changed. Storm didn't want any problems and just wanted to show Magebreaker where the orb was so he'd leave.Looking at the garden, the Magebreaker was rather unconvinced that the Orb was hidden in the garden. It was too normal of a place to hold such a powerful object,he glanced around the garden. The garden, with its beautiful flowers and pond, seemed an unlikely place for such a powerful artifact. Magebreaker looked around the garden, it was quiet except for the sound of crickets. He didn’t know if Storm had played him and could only tunr to him. “uhm” Storm began, his voice steady but laced with urgency, “I know it seems impossible, but the Orb is here. Trust me. The texts from the Library explained where it would be and it is here”. Storm hurriedly explained. He would also not have believed that the Orb was here if he hadn’t taken time to under the garden. He looked around the garden not knowing how else
Just as Magebreaker disappeared, Storm heard footsteps and was wise enough to hide and thus he saw a lot of creatures swarming into the garden. Storm was scared, but he managed not to make a sound. “Did you also feel it?”, one of the creature asked. Storm had never seen these creatures before,how did they manage to get here fast? Were they residing in the school? Storm's heart beat faster as he stared at each of them. They didn't look like creatures he would be able to fight alone. There were too many of them. Storm stayed silent as they discussed amongst themselves.“Yes I did”. Everyone of the creature spoke after another weird looking creature answered. Were they talking about the orb? He didn't expect creatures to get here so fast. What if Magebreaker had been a few minutes late, they would have gotten attacked by all these creatures. Storm's heart pounded as they walked through the garden, he couldn't be seen by them, if he was, they would probably kill him.“I could feel it
The next day came too quickly for Storm. The morning sun shone through his open curtains. His head pounded as he tried to sit up. He sat on his bed for a few minutes taking deep breaths before getting up and moving around the room. He moved towards his mirror and stared at himself. He looked haggard, the past week had taken a toll on him. His beards had started growing again, his eyes had dark circles around them. He couldn't go out looking like this, his friends would get worried and they would ask questions. He wasn't ready for any conversation and just wanted to go about his day without worrying about the orb and the Magebreaker. He walked slowly to the bathroom, preparing to meet his friends. Inside the bathroom, Storm thought about everything that happened the night before. How would he go through the day if his mind kept going back to that? Storm dressed and stared at his mirror again, practicing his fake smiles. He took a deep breath again, glancing at the mirror one last tim
When it was his turn, Storm stepped forward, feeling a familiar rush of adrenaline. He could feel the eyes of his friends on him, their expectations high. He took a deep breath, focusing on the task at hand. As he channeled his energy, he could feel the power coursing through him, more stronger than ever before. With a swift motion, he directed it towards the target, watching with satisfaction as it exploded.The field erupted in cheers and applause, and Storm couldn't help but grin. For a moment, the orb, Magebreaker and the creatures was forgotten, replaced by the excitement of his success. But as the excitement died down and they moved on to the next challenge, his thoughts returned to the events of the previous night. What was he going to do? How could he have forgotten that the orb was still out there in the hands of the Magebreaker?But just as they were in the midst of moving on to the next round, a strange phenomenon began to take shape in the sky above them. A dark, swirling
