The crowd surged like a giant wave, the palace of the Dark Full Moon was packed with people, and everyone seemed to have decided to come, enjoying the fun event while they could. The palace seemed to be full, the spacious courtyard was filled with a large number of tables and chairs. On the table were dishes that were very appetizing, the smell was fragrant, making anyone want to eat them.In addition, what stunned Darren on the spot was the existence of a large enough stage set up in the middle of the yard. He could guess that the existence of the stage was the place for the show that would be shown.Everyone's clothes looked neater than usual, glittering and full of decorations that spoiled the eyes. Darren smiled at the sight he saw, still standing in front of the palace gate and watching the bustling atmosphere unfold before him.The night this time was favorable, the sky was clear and full of stars, and even the moon showed itself openly, illuminating the earthlings with its brig
Cassie grimaced softly. "I wanted to, really. But, my mom asked me to join her. So, I couldn't refuse."Darren nodded his head. "Oh, I see. Well, it's up to you, I won't force you.""You're okay, right, Darren?" asked Cassie."Me?" Darren showed his chest. A soft laugh escaped his lips. "Of course I'm fine.""Well, I guess I can't stay here too long. Look over there, my mom and dad are waiting. So, I'm leaving now, right?" Cassie excused herself."Go ahead, don't forget to enjoy the party, you should have fun.""Sure, I'll go, okay?" Cassie looked at Darren and Finn in turn while flashing a smile, before she finally turned around after Darren invited her to.The red skirt Cassie was wearing fluttered slightly as the girl left, joining her parents. The center of Darren's attention then turned back to Finn."He told me earlier that he wasn't sure about coming here.""Like Lake?""That's right."Finn chuckled softly as he leaned back, folding his arms. "I'm really surprised.""Astonished
"LAKE?!"Darren and Finn said it simultaneously, as Lake appeared behind them. Surprise colored the faces of the two young men. Lake smiled and waved, then the beautiful girl pulled up an empty chair, sitting right next to Finn.Darren blinked his eyes. "Lake, are you coming?""I'm here, so I'm coming, right?" Lake laughed softly."That's not what I meant, earlier you said...""Oh Darren!" Lake waved a hand as she rolled her clear eyeballs. "I didn't say I wasn't coming, I just wasn't sure, I hadn't made up my mind yet.""And now, your decision is to come here," Finn said.Laughing softly, Lake snapped her fingers. She glanced at Finn and said, "That's right, Finn, I decided to come." Lake looked at the faces of her two friends quite carefully. "What's wrong with you guys? Don't you like my coming and sitting here with you?""Hey, what are you talking about?" Darren chided quietly."The expression on your face seems to imply something.""We're just wondering, you just showed up here,
The sensation of floating in the air for a few moments could be felt by everyone when the performance of the wind clan began. They were lifted up, shrieking in fear, but a sense of joy also crept into their chests.The same feeling can also be felt when the ice clan performs. They can freeze water, making the place slippery, and even though it is a summer night, snow suddenly falls from the sky.Everyone is getting excited, and when the earth clan comes on stage and starts to showcase their talents, the ground underfoot suddenly feels shaky.One would think that instead of creating a grand performance like the clans that performed before, the earth clan would create complete destruction. The ground shook and swayed as if signaling an earthquake.As a result, the people of Crimson were already quite restless and frightened. However, that feeling didn't last long. This was because suddenly, the ground rose up, forming a sculpture.People didn't know what it was, but as the ground took s
Sarah pulled Lake away from the crowd, Lake had no idea what Sarah was doing to her at the moment. The reason behind the girl's treatment was completely incomprehensible to Lake."Sarah, what are you doing?" Lake screeched along the steps. "What do you want from me? Where are you taking me?" Lake blurted out questions. Her face was already filled with a fog of confusion as she stared at Sarah, who looked like she was panicking."Lake, I need your help," Sarah said once she was far enough away from people.Lake and Sarah were now standing face-to-face. Lake blinked her eyes, "Help with what?" she asked.Sarah was silent for a moment, her lips twitching, she seemed hesitant to say something. Lake tried to find her own answer. "Wait a minute, don't tell me that you-" Lake gaped. She looked at Sarah's appearance once more, the girl in front of her was a performer, and now Sarah was pulling her away from Finn and Darren. And that means...Lake froze. "No," she said firmly, accompanied by a
"What do you want, Lake? Name it right now, and I'll see to it that your wish is fulfilled." Sarah looked at Lake earnestly, her words so steady and reliable."I don't think I want anything for now," Lake replied, shaking her head."Ah, I see...""But maybe I'll need your help next time, Sarah. There's no time limit, right?"Sarah chuckled softly as she stroked Lake's shoulder in a gentle motion and said, "Of course, you can contact me anytime if you need anything, and I will make sure that I will be there when you need help.""Thanks, I guess I should get back to where I was.""Yes, go ahead. Thanks again for your service, Lake, I'm really happy that you could participate."Lake just threw a smile at Sarah, then she said goodbye to her friends before starting to leave from backstage. However, before actually walking away, Lake bumped into Tira, the girl who was actually going to perform, but suddenly had to be replaced by Lake because Tira fainted."Hey, you're okay, right? How are y
Darren was returning the stacks of books to the library with Cassie after the training camp lessons were over. But unfortunately, Master Jael didn't give a follow-up lesson on the climbable fireball material. Although most of them were very disappointed, they knew that they couldn't protest, or else the master would get even angrier, which was very unfavorable. They could fall behind on the material."Here are the last three books," Cassie said as she gave the books to Darren, who was climbing the ladder to put the books on the high shelf. Cassie was underneath the young man, passing the stack of books carefully and bit by bit, while Darren was in charge of arranging the books neatly as before.Darren nodded, took the books from Cassie's hand, and then he began to arrange them in such a way that, when he was done, the young man went down the stairs, and Darren joined Cassie at the bottom."It's done, the books are neatly arranged as before." Darren patted his hands together as he look
"I honestly don't know whether to go or not," Darren replied, "I haven't thought much about it, but if you're forcing me to give you an answer now, I'm going to say no.""Why not?""Because I'm not interested, just like you." Darren said quietly, "That's for now, but you never know, I might change my mind, right?"Cassie moved her head up and down, "I know what you mean, I'd support you if you went, I'd definitely support Nail. Yeah, we'll see how it goes." Cassie's eyes looked ahead, "Look, here we are. And oh ....""Why Cassie?""You can see for yourself in front of the palace," Cassie said as she pointed ahead.Darren turned his gaze, and then he was stunned with his lips open, unable to believe what he was seeing.***How could you not be surprised? Both Finn and Lake were currently faced with an enormous meal on the table. Helena prepared the food for Darren's two friends, which honestly seemed quite excessive. Finn and Lake were not big guests. They just wanted to see Darren.La
