Elyon’s magical aura enveloped the room like a blanket, making everyone present shiver in utter fear. He lift his fingers up and snapped them, a snap that teleported them to a round large arena where the fight was to begin. Snapping his fingers once more, Elyon separated himself and Storm from the others, putting them in the middle of the arena protected by a boxed purple force field wall. “Great…protector!” Boothe stuttered, “please show mercy.” “Mercy!” Elyon exclaimed. “You shall not speak unless spoken to, do you understand?!” “As you wish great protector,” Boothe bowed, moving back a bit. At that, Elyon turned to Storm with a serious look, but he was surprised when he saw the boy's face. It was covered with narrowed eye brows and a confident smirk. Storm was brimming with confidence and this amused Elyon. “You sure are confident!” He said with a laugh afterwards. Then, positioning himself in an immovable stance, he commanded. “Come at me System bearer.” ‘Come at me?’ Stor
Storm tried to look tough, but even with his tough exterior, the others could easily see that he was scared. It was a losing battle, even before it started."Come on, attack me with everything you've got, boy!""Come on, last chance system bearer!" Elyon's eyes twinkled at the corners and his lips curled onto a small smile, his fist unclenched and brought down.The others, especially the girls were whimpering and Tana had her head hung as she hid behind Xavier, she couldn't bear to watch Storm in pain."I don't want to fight you," Storm breathed out, emphasizing each word."Get up!!" Elyon yelled. He thought that Storm was weak and his statement was just proof of that.Storm closed his eyes, trying to play out how he was going to defeat Elyon and possibly even read his mind. He felt that the fact that he had used his powers in the realm before, he still could, after all, he was the system bearer.He clenched his fist, his eyes narrowed into slits as his eyes were poised at the barrier
"Do something! please!" Lucy yelled to no one in particular as she quivered. She couldn't bear to see Storm killed as her eyes were fixed on his.She could see the thirst for blood in Elyon's eyes. The possibility of them leaving the realm seemed so slim at the moment and she knew that she had to do something."Help him! Please!" She said to the boys who looked at her with sympathy.Storm had told them not to interfere in their fight, but they also saw that nothing was going according to plan."Help him!" She tugged at Xavier's shirt and he sighed. He also wished he could help, but there was no way he was going to be able to beat him alone and Storm had not signaled him to start.Lucy, seeing that nobody was attempting to help and Tana was just crying like a coward, let out a deep sigh. Storm had been able to use his magic, then she too could do that. All she needed was to close her eyes and envision it.She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, just as a dagger made of ice mater
“Can anyone do better?!! The system bearer fights like a child and I thought I would enjoy it but I feel so disappointed!!” Elyon yells.The whole atmosphere was silent and no one said nothing, it felt like they were scared of him then Alexander decided to take up the challenge to face off Elyon.“Ohh, we've got a candidate guys, let's give it up for him!!” He said sarcastically as he claps his hand while everyone was looking. “I said clap!!” Elyon yells out loud and the fear everyone had already sprung them into clapping their hands aggressive and shaking.Alexander stands in the middle, preparing to fight as Boothe calls out before the fight began. “Are you ready?” He asked Alexander, who nodded with his fist held up then he turned to Elyon who was just standing and acting like he wasn't in for a fight. “Are you ready?” “Always ready!!” He said.“On my commander, 1….2…” Boothe paused before he added the last number. “3!!!” He yells out.The fight began but it didn't stay up to the
Elyon's jaw dropped, his eyes widening as his eyes met Storm's. He was surprised as to how Storm was able to stand after looking like he'd had something run through him. The beating he had received was enough to make even the strongest one in the realm fall."How..how are you able to even stand in this condition?" He jabbed a finger at Storm.Storm just stared at him, an unrecognizable expression on his face. He had been through a lot and how he was able to still stand was still a mystery to him.He had no idea that he was being strong. He had just tested his luck and fortunately for him, he came out alive. He was, after all, the system bearer.Elyon curled his fist into a ball, creating a small orb in his hand. It was his intention to finish off the poor boy. The boy was tougher than he seemed, even he knew that.Lucy choked out a sob as Kave held her tightly. After Storm had fought him and was too weak to keep fighting, he had signaled to Xavier to take over.Xavier knew that he cou
“Greta, Greta…Storm is hurt!!” Lillian yells as she places him on the bed as soon as she appears in the room.Greta walked out through the wall and looked at Lillian but didn't say anything and waited for her to turn. “Hello.’’Lillian’s heart skipped a beat as she saw Greta seated without her knowing. “What are you doing?” She questioned as she touched her chest and felt how fast her heart was racing.“Just playing around with you.” Greta said as she walked down to where Strom was laid. “What do we have here?” Greta asked and before Lilian could respond she interrupted her.“This is s–” she was cut short.“The system bearer, he is the system bearer.” Greta said as she looked at Lillian then back to Strom. “What happened to him?” She questioned..“He got into a fight with Elyon and then ended up losing consciousness, do you think you can heal him?” She asked.Greta closes her eyes run her magic through the body of Strom to locate the injury, after a few minutes she opens them. “He has
Storm had been unconscious for days and the others were worried about him, including Xavier.Lucy kept thinking about when he would wake up every day. She was the most worried amongst the rest of them.They all came together in the mornings to check up on him and tell him how they were doing, in hopes that he was going to hear and wake up.No matter how much they were chased by the nurse, they came back and she became tired of chasing them off and instead let them be. They were after all, just worried for their friend.She saw the sadness in their faces whenever they came and made an exception for them as they stayed longer hours and came even when it wasn't a visiting day.Sometimes, Lucy came secretly to see him and she'd hold his hands and cry. There was a day Tana decided to visit him by herself, and just when she was about to enter the room, she saw Lucy sitting on the bed, her palms clamped together with his as she whispered things she couldn't hear and tears dropped from her ey
"I can't believe we're training with Lilian," Finn said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've heard she's brutal."Aria nodded, her eyes wide with apprehension. "I know, right? I've heard she pushes her students to the limit."Thorne snorted. "That's an understatement. I've heard she's been known to reduce students to tears."Lila shook her head. "I don't know how she expects us to keep up with her. I mean, she's a legend in her own right."Strom, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up. "I've heard she's not just a skilled warrior, but a master strategist as well."The group fell silent, lost in their own thoughts. They knew they were in for a challenging training session, and they weren't sure if they were ready.Just then, a figure appeared in the distance, walking towards them with a purposeful stride. The group's chatter died down as they watched Lilian approach."Speak of the devil," Finn said, his voice barely above a whisper.The group nodded, their eyes f
