After a few hours of traveling, there was a strange tension between us.A Blizzard storm was just around the corner.We spotted a nearby cave as the temperature dropped.Seizing the opportunity, we found ourselves closer than we should have, considering the fact that we had just met.That evening will forever be carved in my memory. I had never experienced anything quite like it before. It was surreal.Somehow, I ended up falling asleep in the end in that cave but I woke up inside a pool, struggling to stay alive.The most surprising part was that the water in the cave wasn't cold at all. It was like a bizarre dream.That's when my eyes fell on a gleaming cyan crystal, but that was the least of my concern.All that mattered to me was to get out of the water.But to make matters even stranger, the guy who had brought me to the cave had disappeared without a trace. He and his car were nowhere to be found.It was as if he had vanished into thin air. I brushed it off as a one-night stand
"I'm really sorry, but I've been following you! I secretly placed a tracker under your vehicle because I was so curious about this place and I wanted to make sure if you were truly against Asher!" She nervously bit her lip. "I shouldn't have doubted you!" She then smiled. "Can you please take me to my biological mother?" I asked, and she nodded in agreement. I decided to bring Kai along with me, but I left Enzo behind because he needed time to recover. Also, I didn't want to risk exposing him to any more danger. We eventually found the hidden city not too far from where we had discovered it before. "It is right here!" I exclaimed. "We can't move islands or planets, but we managed to push it a little farther. But we cloaked it!" she explained. As we got off our vehicle, Kai was captivated by the beauty of this place. He couldn't take his eyes off it. With every gun pointed at him, Kai raised his hands in surrender. "I come in peace!" he exclaimed, still in awe. When I spotted m
It was past midnight, the VIPs had already retired to their quarters.Unlike any other night, this particular night had a chilling atmosphere.Asher was strolling on his terrace when a snowflake landed on the fence."I almost forgot what a snowflake looked like!" he exclaimed.As soon as he touched it, the snowflake disappeared."Why are you so worried, my love? We have artificial ways to create snow!" His wife appeared from inside the room and comforted him by rubbing his back."But do you realize how long it has been since it last snowed?" He asked, staring at her with wide eyes."Of course, I do!" she smiled. "Things are changing, perhaps for the better," she added."We can't let this happen," he said, sounding concerned."What power do you have to control the weather?" she asked, troubled."I believe I am the only one with the power to change the weather!" He clenched his fist.His wife, still troubled, rubbed his shoulder again. "You need to rest, my love! You have important thin
I went up to her, grabbed her shirt, and enveloped her in it, giving her a comforting embrace and patting her on the shoulder. "Why didn't you kill him?" I inquired. "Because I was a captive, and I was terrified. Before you, Zaria, I had lost all hope. If I had made a move, his formidable security system would have shielded him. He doesn't kill his enemies, he drives them to madness through torture," she clarified, holding onto me tightly and trembling. "I get it," I replied, turning to my mother, who understood my intentions. I knew there would be a massive argument about this, but at least she was on my side. "Tell me what Asher intends to do," I asked as we brought her inside. "Before we begin, I want to know one thing. If Asher wanted to turn me into what I am today, why did he hire someone to kill me during the tournament?" I questioned. "I'm sorry, Zaria. It wasn't Asher, it was me who hired that person to kill you!" She left me speechless. "How generous of you. Can you
I was at the medical facility because they were conducting some tests on Calista to verify her claims. "I've endured pricks all over my body for longer than you can imagine, do you really think a few tests will bother me?" That's what she said when I asked for her permission. Finally, after a brain scan, she came out feeling slightly dizzy. "Are you alright?" I asked. "I think so!" she replied, and we escorted her to the main hall.It resembled a grand throne room with its never-ending pointed ceiling.The curved structure, ethereal brightness, and delicate engravings added to its beauty.The floor was so shiny that it looked like it was made of glass. In the center of the hall, there was a stunning dark gray round glass table surrounded by elegant dark gray chairs.The table had golden borders that matched the golden engraved circles on the chairs. Attached to the center wall was a slim, throne-like chair with a similar pattern, where the leader of the unseen sat.Her name is A
Which means I developed feelings for him, President Alpha was my brother and I desperately wanted to save him from the doom that awaited him. In a bold move, I decided to approach the president himself, hoping to find a way to stop the catastrophe. As expected, he refused to cooperate. However, when I decided to fake my pregnancy, surprisingly, it worked. This led him to reconsider his decision to launch the nuclear attack on Beta, but unfortunately, it was already too late. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, an unforeseen event unfolded, that no one expected in the slightest. A technical malfunction caused the missile to crash right into the center of both nations, resulting in a catastrophic accident that plunged the entire world into darkness as electricity was knocked out on a global scale. The explosion wreaked havoc, shattering even the crystal that held the cure within. As it turns out, there were two more identical replicas of the crystal, each containing the sa
“It will basically cool the weather down, then what’s the point?” I asked, confused."It doesn't really matter what the weather is like," she said."I never mentioned this before, but like every other Orphic, I have powers too. I can see the deaths of the people I meet. I saw his death and I had to tell him," she explained."I saw him die during a natural snowfall, and ever since then, he's been afraid of snow.So before the weather changes naturally, he wants to change it manually. And if he somehow succeeds in erupting the volcano, which he will, it will also bring down the mountains that have been keeping the Creepers away," she continued.I couldn't help but interrupt her. "The Creepers will be free to come and go as they please!"The fear and confusion among the people was evident."We need to find a way to stop him," I muttered."But how? He refuses to listen to anyone," she replied."What if I propose a deal to him?" I suggested."Asher is always intrigued by something that int
"Do you really think I can't change my mind?" He was furious, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes as he watched my daring move.As I approached him, I couldn't ignore the countless guns aimed at me, with snipers positioned in the towers.Despite the danger, I managed to get close to him. He raised his hand, and everyone eagerly awaited his command to shoot.There was something in my eyes that unsettled him, and I realized he was afraid of losing his power. He feared growing old and sick, or getting minced at the hands of his victims. "Don't you want to know what my abilities can offer, Mr. President?" I smirked, whispering near his ear."I'd rather kill you right now than say that you scare me!" He muttered."Then don't let anyone see your fear. Instead, let them believe that we are allies.Tell them that you sent me on a mission to find the cure!" I circled around him, hands folded behind my back."No one needs to know anything about Jaganod," I shrugged."Why are you volu
