With a crack as loud as thunder, the third statue split from its pedestal. The entire thing accelerated down and crushed into this unfamiliar woman. Amplified by the figure’s powerful magics, this statue sent forth an immense shockwave, toppling the walls and limiting their visibility. The woman coughed.- “Really?”- “It was worth a try.” – the figure shrugged.- “There…is…no need to fight.”Aiko retaliated as she tried to release her neck from the woman’s suffocating magic. But, as soon as she said that, the mysterious woman waved a hand, and Aiko found herself glued to the wall and with a fractured skull. Although Aiko was out cold, her godlike powers focused on stopping the bleeding and getting her body back in shape.- “You know you can’t kill us, right?” – the figure added.- “Who said I want to kill you?”- “You are damn sure acting like it.”- “I just want you to know your place. That’s it.”- “I can relate to that.” – the figure chuckled. “Actually, I’ve been meaning to ask.”
The rain came with a confident wind, rousing the trees and fires into a vortex. Each raindrop – a kaleidoscope, covering the library in a comforting blanket. The phoenix couldn’t help but wonder, as it was lying on the floor exhausted, what it would feel like if it could stop time and just look at it. Observe each watery bubble before it touched the ground. The fires on its wings dimmed, and the phoenix morphed into a small human. Welcoming every drop with his outstretched fingers. Like he always wanted to. Soon, the rain formed puddles, followed by a cool freshness in the breeze.Most of the Library of Pergamon was in ruins. Thankfully, the rain came when it did, or the rest of this grand building would have succumbed to the flames.Paige woke up suddenly, not because her clothes were soaked, but because she remembered what she was up against. An entire demon army. Her eyes tried to adapt to the light and rain. She had no idea how long she slept. The only thing that sent her on edge

But not the utopian paradise one might expect. Between those enchanted forests and crystal clear waters, creeps a more menacing world.It's the world of Elidy, home to the elves, fairies, and all kinds of magical creatures.

Everyone at Wolfmore kept their eyes locked to the sky. The bizarre crack in the heavens stole all the attention away. The black fog darkened the land, turning the early afternoon into the middle of the night. Yet, for some odd reason, the clouds had all but evaporated, while the sun became completely consumed by innumerable stars. In a matter of seconds, the crack spread so wide it covered the entire sky above the village.- "By Elidy's grace, what is that?"- one of the soldiers cried.- "Awesome!!!" – yelled the warrior.- "Could it be?" – another soldier mumbled.- "Is that what I think it is?"- "It must be a Breach!"- "Impossible! Wolfmore has never had one of those! We are weeks away from the Capital! It doesn't make any sense! Why would they attack here?" – one of the soldiers yelled as he started shaking.- "He is right! We have nothing to offer them! It couldn't be a Breach."- "What are we going to
Under the chill of the black fog, the battle at Wolfmore was in full swing. The acrid smell of burnt monsters enveloped the senses. It was difficult to filter the air from the decaying monstrosities, let alone stand and fight. But, without a shred of doubt, the elves kept fighting valiantly to defend the village. They maintained their formation slicing their way through the wave of beasts. The first row of spear wielders thrust their blade forward in a devastating slash, opening a path for the second row. Then, the warriors with two blades in each hand emerged from the crowd and swept their weapons into a mighty attack, killing every creature that would block the way. The adventurers did their best to support them. The wizard forced a powerful lava column to spew forth from the ground and burnt the monsters' feet. The warrior charged directly in the face of danger brimming with energy. - "This one is mine!!!" He focused all his strength in his
The Wolfmore mining village lay in ruins. The roads and toppled houses were completely deserted. Only the piles and piles of elven bones covered the empty place. But, deep in the canyons, a battle was brewing. The silence caressed Kana's skin like a cool summer breeze. The impenetrable water shield she conjured enveloped her completely, not letting even a single pebble pass through it. Her glare was unwavering. She didn't blink as she gazed at the terrifying beast she would have to face. There was no softness in her eyes. Just the sheer determination to win. Her hands were steady stretched with confidence and leveled perfectly with the nose. From the look of it, she was ready. The creature, however, was not as timid. From losing its army, it boiled up inside, like a pool of hot lava. - "You will pay for that, human!" Kana didn't say anything, which made the beast even angrier. - "You will beg for mercy! You will scream and grovel.
Aiko curled her fingers around Ren’s paws. Every muscle in her body was shaking, and tears streamed down her cheeks from her half-closed eyes. She held her breath behind the pursed lips as she struggled to stay still. The moment her fingers touched him, happiness flowed through her, warming her skin like the rays of the warm sun. -“I can’t believe you are alive.” – her face lit up as she continued to cry. -“What happened, Aiko? I thought I was dead.” – uttered Ren, while checking his body for any open wounds. But, there was nothing he could find. His body was as good as new. -“Welcome to the world of adventurers, Aiko. You are now a full-fledged caster – a cleric.” Kana approached the girl and greeted her with respect. She bowed with grace without the unnecessary flattery. In her eyes, Aiko was someone worthy,
Plums of dust erupted the moment Aiko stood on solid ground. When her view cleared, the girl shaded her eyes and peered away across the vast desert. The sun was shining bright, the land was untouched, and the lizards roamed free. It was a completely different scenery from that of the Wolfmore mining village. -“Where are we?” – she mumbled. -“I’ve teleported us to the closest village. Glanaram, I suppose?” -“Glanaram?! But, that’s weeks away!” – Aiko yelled in surprise. At that moment, Kana’s legs started to shake. Her perception of time distorted. Everything slowed down a little, as the ground seemed to swallow her whole. The sorceress was losing balance. Aiko immediately noticed and hurried to her side. She grabbed her by the waist, barely holding onto her weak body. -&nb
