Shadow Wielders Institute of Knowledge changed dramatically the night after Dark paid a visit. Not only had he been able to kill a lot of Shadowests, but he was also able to freeze most of them.
Michelle would never forget the terror Dark had left. When her shadow saved her, she was able to spot the spears hitting all over the field, freezing even the meadows. It’s as though the thunders were probing the spears to do more damage as it groaned ever loudly.
She was just glad that everyone was inside their Quarters; however, long after she thought of them, the shadow Dark left slowly split into two, bringing along with it a sheet of film, which were wrapped by purple lightning. Michelle couldn’t believe her eyes, but she had to acknowledge that if it’s Dark’s making, there’s no doubt it would be beyond ordinary.
The more it stretched, the more the film grew weaker, cracks dancing all the way to its stretched surface. It’s spelled a problem only known to itself.<
Arc 3 Mission Impossible When things have stirred, you'll be up against an obstacle you cannot move. If that's to be the case, what comes next will be up to you. How will you face it then? Would you rather stay unmoving and just accepts whatever fate you may face? Or will you brave even the wildest and impossible ordeal just to get the consequence you really want? --- The good news about the headmaster’s arrival was the fact that the treatment of the patients became swift and efficient. He lends some of his energy to Granny. He also released some of her tension from Dark’s terrible appearance by extracting some of her memories. Michelle thought it wouldn’t help Granny at all, considering that he would still put it back. Well, it would make her work without thinking about anything. But it’s a temporary relief, a cruel action to take to someone who just lost his grandson for the second time. She’s not
The day after the headmaster’s arrival, the patients were completely healed. Mr. Heirt took his time to relax before putting up a temporary barrier to protect them. As it turned out, he’s not yet a master of his own prowess, which was why he couldn’t hope to be of help in fixing the usually impenetrable dimension surrounding the school.This made Michelle wonder who managed to do so and how much power he would have. Considering Mr. Heirt’s skills, the one who has full control of dimension could be pretty much terrible.Since they were out before they could see Blame, somehow, shove Dark in the corner, they asked to be given the details. Michelle just rolled her eyes, blaming them for not witnessing such an epic battle. Her skeptical attitude prompted Berry to narrate what had taken place.Once he started, he instantly regretted his decision. He forgot for a little while that Briane was never a good listener. He tends to cut off Berry mid-
“Would you look at that!” said Berry with a deep breath as he looked down at the hill. There were clumps of big rocks lining in rows in the corner of a narrow pathway. From where he was, it looked so thin that he doubted whether they’d fit in it or not.He’d learned not to judge things with first impression alone, though. After all, things weren’t always what they seemed.His enthusiasm didn’t last long, for he once again had heard Sloane’s screams in frustration. Berry didn’t know if Briane’s minds were screwed, but he kept flirting with Sloane who wasn’t at all interested in him. And here he thought Briane’s head over heels with Blame.“Oh, come on, Honeybunch! Don’t be shy!”“Call me that again, and I will cut that tongue of yours! I’m not joking, you Skipper!”Shaking his head, Berry walked ahead of them. Luckily, the hill had stone-made stairc
When Berry woke up, he had to blink a lot of times to regain his vision. Though he could see a small figure standing in front of him, he couldn’t quite comprehend who she might be. As he tried to think, his head pricked a little. He immediately massaged it with his left hand. His brows furrowed. There wasn’t a sign of blood nor wound in there, yet he could feel throbbing pain as though a knife was piercing it. The almost eternal loop flashed inside his mind as he thought of possible reasons why he felt so weak. It quite explained a lot of things. He did stab himself to try and break the cycle, though he hadn’t expected to bring the pain even in reality. His eyes widened when he realized he traveled with two other Shadowests. Despite his exhaustion, he was able to stand, moving back a little from the figure he’d seen earlier. As it turned out, it was a black woman. She was wearing a maroon cape, her square-shaped face quite fierce and intimidating, but it pale
The moon gleamed brightly as the tension below it became palpable. Even the wind knew something was wrong as it rarely passed through the horde of Wielders: There were ones pointing spears to the Skippers who were slumped on the ground, their hands raised, while Marjorie stood frozen in front of them. It took Berry a hundred gulp, his eyes roaming the place for some escape. But he was frozen when Marjorie started laughing, a crisped one. Everyone stared at her with furrowed brows. If Berry didn’t know her, he would’ve perceived her crazy. Who would laugh in this kind of situation? It’s never funny, to say the least. If need be, they should start begging now, and, assuming it wouldn’t work out as Berry hoped, they should at least ready their weapon for some course of action. But that’s not happening anytime. “What are you doing?” whispered Berry with gritted teeth, his eyes intent on the spears pointed at him, a dry smile curved on his lips. La
Briane was crying. It was always their tradition to burn their dead loved ones. By doing so, they would be scattering the fragments of this Wielder, and they’d be wherever they were. But they weren’t able to get a hold of Blame’s body. It had always been irking him. He wanted so much to lash out, to pull out the shit of anyone who made her Sweetie suffer. If only he wasn’t reckless, if only he was strong, Blame should have never sacrificed herself. She should’ve never played in the hands of the enemy. If only. As he watched the fire coiled at the body of Lara, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain. He’s going nuts. Everything happened so fast he wasn’t able to see it coming. His speed didn’t even stop the time to pass through him unnoticed. All he knew was that he lost a chunk of his heart that couldn’t be retrieved anymore, that had been brought to the wilderness, never to return. Bla
If Berry’s team had to have a nightmare-ish journey, the same couldn’t be said to Michelle’s. In fact, their expedition was so smooth they started doubting whether they’re really on a suicidal mission or what. But they compensate with that thought by arguing that it’s probably Michelle’s ability to wield darkness that aided them. It amazed Cherry and Reigna that even the most impenetrable blackness of the tunnel paled when Michelle walked through. It’s as if the night was forced to revere her, to bow to her prowess like anyone would do once they’re made aware of her capabilities. “You’re Karina, right?” said Michelle. They were huddled on a bonfire, surrounded by the baobab trees that shadowed the moonlight, seated on a branch of a tree, together with Karina who did not say a word since they left the school. Karina merely looked at her, the green of her irises dilating. Raising one
With the help of the map, which luckily didn’t smell, Michelle and her team successfully traveled North. They’ve been restless for hours and any complaints, groan, whatsoever from Reigna and Cherry were dismissed with a single glare. Karina didn’t mind, but she did feel a little uncomfortable with the way Michelle treated the two kids. She bet Michelle was yet to move on with the children’s teasing, and it’s funny for her because it was the first time she’d seen her act with less decency. Looking back, her gestures and movement were so fluid no one would be any wiser of the flaws she was trying to hide. “Is there anything funny?” said Michelle without turning, her eyes moving alternately from the map and the endless and untrodden path, the sun peering from beyond them, together with the thick clouds starting to form in the heaven. They were walking in the middle of palm trees lined in rows that were
