The Causing
Once outside the church, Roxy and Skin hurried down the road. They were headed to the woods. Roxy was trying to follow the scent as she could not see or hear the werepanther. Moments later, Skin saw her run off towards a thicket of trees. He shot after her but by the time he reached the thicket, he had already lost her. He sighed thinking about the newbie’s obsession with going solo on the mission.
He decided to go deeper into the woods to look for her. She was an amateur and although she was over confident, he knew he it was his responsibility to watch her back. Few more steps and he noticed her clothes lying close by. He turned to look in all directions and finally spotted a pair of bright eyes shining through the leaves of the trees. Upon concentration, he was able to make out a silhouette of a large Panther among the thick foliage.

“The guy, now wearing the serviceman’s uniform, was in the hall earlier. He was wearing a grey suit and he didn’t look suspicious at all,” Kai whispered.“Oh Please! Give me a break. You really thought they would show up in the church, looking like villains and raise suspicion,” Rick shook her head in disappointment.“Shhh…” Adrian signalled.The man in the black suit had left as quickly as he had appeared while the other guy had already entered the church. Now they could hear faint voices from inside of the church. All of them ran inside. They noticed a few chairs sprawled in the middle of the courtyard and at the far end.

“What are you doing? You are not supposed to touch the chalice or take it,” the guy saidKai backed off quickly, hands in air.“He has been recruited and he has no idea what he is talking about,” Olivia said. “It is not going to happen the easy way. We are running out of time. I am going to have to do a spell.”“You have heard me, the chalice is important and I have to take care of it,” he asserted once more as he saw Olivia come forward.He moved towards her with cold eyes and as soon as he attacked, she went ahead and smacked him down with one blow. Kai quickly tried to do a freeze spell.“Leave him here. Let’s move quickly, the security will be soon here checking upon the chalice,” Olivia said.As Kai lifted the red cloth they were shocked to see that the glass cabinet was empty. They heard footsteps approaching. Olivia quickly summoned a portal. She swept all the mess they

Disguised as ordinary nomads, they peacefully lived among humans and their beautiful features often drew attention from the ordinary folks. Although they were capable of hindering their tasks, they never played pranks on them for the leader did not approve of that.They moved from place to place upon being suspected by human communities when the naïve ones of the elves left the humans bewildered with the display of their magical powers. They always remained cautious as they feared they would face executions at the hand of witch-hunters. At that time, many clans of elves were hunted down to extinction as humans believed the elves to be mischievous beings that caused illnesses, plagues, and draughts. Most people thought that the elves were capricious beings so they could make them sick with elf-shots. There were also stories about elves causing humans to fall in a trance for a life time, transporting them to the Elf-World, where time passed much quicker as compared to the

However, for Thomas, all of this didn’t matter at all. What really mattered to him was the handsome money he was being paid for the petty chores he did around the farm house. All he was expected to do was look after the premises and keep the confidentiality. Two days ago, he was informed that they would come in today and will be gone within the next two days, so he could take a leave. He was glad that he would be having some time off. By the time he returned, the owner and his guests would have left, leaving behind no trace save for a handsome tip and a thank you note by Mr Nico – his employer. What else could he possibly ask for?He got into his old Nissan and turned to drive away. He was only around five yards out when he saw something strange move within the thickets of the trees. He thought that he saw a black panther but he just shed the thought away. Probably a calf from one of the ranches or a foal, there were a lot of free roaming horses up on the hills an

In the meantime, Kai had managed to trap the vampire within a fire circle to keep him from fleeing. Olivia ran towards the vampire and struck him with bolds of heat one after the other. At the same time Adrian appeared with a piece a branch from a nearby tree and drove it through the vampire’s heart.

“Olivia,” an unknown voice called out, shaking her out of her thoughts.Half-heartedly she opened her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction of the voice. She had been sitting there silently for the past twenty minutes or so. Her eyes were puffy and her head felt heavy. Lately, despite all her efforts she had not been able to get good sleep and the restlessness was taking its toll. The guy had walked closer. She was right, the face and the voice were both unfamiliar. She looked at him with lack of interest.Perhaps a new trainee, she thought. He was young, around the same age as her. He was wearing a navy suit, white shirt and a blue tie. His short, dark hair was combed back. His curious blue eyes peered from behind his eyeglasses.“Detective Hansel,” he offered his hand.Olivia was taken by surprise. Judging by his looks, she had not expected him to be a full detective. Perhaps he looks younger than his age, she thought
