Before nightfall, Fabby and Tenzai had arrived at the southern end of Lero mountain. There were tens of mountains ahead of them, and the valley they were currently at was quite more dangerous than they thought.
There were beasts everywhere, but Fabby and Tenzai had to stay there, for that was the promised meeting spot.
They came across a couple of groups, but they were also groups led by outer disciples, so they didn’t engage in combat.
Because of the lowlands of valleys, the sunset had come sooner.
Fabby raised a tall earthen pillar. They stayed at the top next to the fire. Not far from there, the two musculars were feeding on a fox they had killed.
“What if this tower attracts others?” asked Tenzai.

WHIT 146 - THE RISE AND FALL OF TROUBLE
Tony’s tooth flew out as he got sent packing to the side. However, he didn’t fall but jumped on his hand and landed on his feet. “To think I fell for a damn feint…” he spat a bit of blood and glared at Tenzai. He was disappointed with himself, but he quickly put that aside.Tenzai disappeared once again and appeared behind Tony, sweeping his leg at the blonde guy’s nape. Red energy suddenly covered Tony’s body, and though the kick landed solidly, Tony didn’t even budge.(Not even a response?) Tenzai landed on his feet and tried to punch from Tony’s five o’clock, but Tony turned around even faster and grabbed Tenzai’s whole face with his hand and lifted him off his feet with ease and roared as he put Tenzai’s head through the ground.
WHIT 147 - THE GROWING DARKNESS
Edgar and Gossini were traveling in the valley on the musculars. Electricity covered Edgar’s hairs and spread out enough glow for them to freely walk around.“Your sister said she’d make a pillar, but why can’t we find one?” Gossini wondered. “Did they think it’s too much of a risk to do in this valley?”“That’s possible,” Edgar looked a bit worried, “but since she said that she’ll raise a pillar, then she will. So she probably hasn't arrived yet.”“Mm…” she still seemed a bit doubtful. “But… just in case, is there any signal that you can give and—”Edgar shot electricity into the air, which formed into a silly-looking jasmine flower. “I h
WHIT 148 - THE HEART, THE WINGS, AND THE CLAWS
When one of her webs sent vibrations, Nura looked to her right and saw Tenzai. She smiled and licked her lips.“Shit! Why does it have to be this woman of all!” Tenzai immediately turned around and fled.“Not so fast,” she plucked one of her hairs and made that strand of hair stiff as a needle by sending drive into it. She put the needle on her palm and gently blew air. The needle went and struck in the back of Tenzai’s neck after piercing its way through his wig. “Got you.” When she closed her fist, he came flying toward her, and his body wasn’t under his control.“Ah, what the fuck are you doing!” he got pulled back with a great force. Tenzai fell right before her feet.“You are quite heavy, but..”
WHIT 149 - EDGAR VS ZYLER
Zyler just watched as Edgar and Gossini approached on their musculars. They didn’t stop but just went past him, without even exchanging glances. However, after going a few feet, Edgar’s muscular stopped. He turned his head back and asked, “Have you seen two people, senior? One blue-haired fellow, and a girl with a shaved head.”Zyler’s eyes slightly widened. “Why do you ask?”“We are all part of a team.”“Oh… but before I say anything, where are your manners?” Zyler’s voice deepened a bit. “You are talking to an outer disciple without even introducing yourself, much less getting down from your beasts.”A few seconds of silence passed as they exchanged stares.
WHIT 150 - YOUNG NIGHT
Fabby and Tenzai just found a cave, and after releasing the musculars to roam nearby, they entered the cave, hoping to hide inside. Luckily, there was a water stream and many plants growing inside because there were holes in the ceiling and enough light reached inside.However, there was already a hooded man, dressed in a green cloak decorated with silver, resting inside. Seeing how he wasn’t wearing a uniform, he could be a foot disciple or even an inner disciple, so the two of them turned to leave.“You can rest here,” just then his voice reached their ears, “if you want.”They didn’t think he was awake, but after hearing his words, they couldn’t just leave, so they sat on the opposite end of the stream.“I’m Tenzai
WHIT 151 - LITTLE BIT OF LOVE
The next morning.Fabby was the first one to wake up in surprise. On one hand, she felt angry at herself that she had fallen asleep, but on the other hand, the blankets made her think.Numo was nowhere to be seen, but Tenzai was still snoring like a pig, having fully wrapped himself in the blanket. In fact, in his sleep, he had rolled quite a distance and was currently right next to the pond.Fabby tried to wake him up, but no matter how much she patted or pushed him, he showed no response. Eventually, she was fed up with it and then pushed him into the pond, and it worked wonders. Tenzai woke up like a cat. Though it took him some work to get out of the blanket, he eventually brought his head out and breathed.To her surprise, most of the swelling on his face was gone.After eating a papaya, they came out of the cave. They clapped thrice, but the musculars didn’t come. They tried it a few times, but there was no change.“You think they ran away?” Fabby wondered.“If they came across
WHIT 152 - SORRY FIGHT
In the Green Valley Inn, located in the southern border of Lero mountain.Dozens of groups occupied the seats, leaving only a few empty. Many foot disciples and outer disciples were enjoying food, alcohol, and beverages.Beast cores was the only currency taken in this inn.Fabby, Tenzai, and Gossini were seated at a corner table. Edgar, on the other hand, was at the main desk, ordering food. He just paid one strength core. After licking the core, the innkeeper, an elderly man in a leafy hat, said, “Mm, what’s the order?”“Four plates of chicken, and four mugs of honeyed lemon.”“That will cover it,” his eyes fell on Edgar. “What’s your name?”
WHIT 153 - THE BEGINNING OF WORRIES
The musculars were not allowed beyond the Green Valley Inn, so they had to be parked at the inn, and they would soon be delivered back to their respective stations they were rented from.All the mountains behind the inn and between the Great Eye were called the Worry Chains because they often worried the travelers for more than one reason.Fabby and Co were strolling along a road that had flowery gardens on either side.Fabby was asking Edgar to give Tenzai a new shirt because the current one was torn at places. However, neither Edgar nor Tenzai agreed to that. Edgar didn’t want to give another shirt for free, especially because Tenzai was just being too careless. Tenzai, on the other hand, just felt that a shirt would only come in his way.“Why are you sayin
