Chapter 31 ~~ Nightfall ~~ Knock! Knock! His knuckles gave two consecutive knocks on the thick wooden door. “Coming!” He heard his little sister's voice, yell from within the house. He had managed to limp his way from the school to the road and struggled to wait for a carriage. A carriage soon arrived and he boarded it. He was lucky not to have spent his transport money, since he initially planned to always translocate himself home. He sighed, his head facing the floor. His long white hair was scattered over his face. Slowly, and with an increased heartbeat, he raised his left hand from his stomach. He exhaled in relief, seeing that the bleeding had stopped, and the wound had almost closed up. It was all thanks to the Dhemistarian metabolism, which was far greater than a human's metabolism. Meaning, Dhemistarians healed faster. But that didn't clean the dried blood stain on his left hand that he used to lay pressure on the wound. He instinctively hid his blood stained hand in t

Chapter 33 ~~ Into The Bīfōld ~~ Red... Orange... Yellow... Green... Blue... Indigo... Violet... Moving at a speed so great, his skin fluttered like paper, threatening to rip away from his bones anytime soon. His long silver hair stood straight and taut over his head, the strands poking at their pores as though they were about to pulled out by a hand that held them together. Ian was plummeting through a rainbow tunnel, each of the seven colors flitting across his eyes in seconds. He had been falling through the tunnel ever since a mysterious hand pulled him into the portal. Not that he could think straight through the rapid fall, but he felt he had been in here for over an hour, and counting. Another thirty — Ian — minutes had passed, when a ball of light appeared below him. His eyes managed to close as the ball swallowed him up. For a second or two, Ian felt calm and still. But then, he opened his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering as the wind blew against them. “What the...?

Chapter 35 ~~ Revelation ~~ Whizz! Whizz! The circular golden platforms cut through the air like launched discs. There were five of them; one to Ian, Jeanne, Captain Agner, a palace guard, and queen Leora, respectively. However, that of the queen moved slow and calm. The round platforms came to a progressive halt, hovering over what looked like a water fountain; it was dry though, but was encased in a dome of twinkling sparkles. Slowly, the platforms descended and landed on the interlocked ground. They all alighted simultaneously and approached the dry fountain. Ian had his eyes half opened as he walked closer to the twinkling fountain, hoping to see what was causing the phenomenon. His squinted eyes dilated once he saw a lot of tiny creatures that looked human, with sparkling wings, flying around the fountain in a continuous fashion. It was the twinkling blurs of their sparkling wings, and the speed at which they flew, that made it seem like a fixed dome was erected around the dr

Chapter 37 ~~ Realization ~~ Captain Agner sat still on his dragon's neck, the gushing wind in the sky slapping his face, but only his deep red hair fluttered. He lowered his head as soon as he heard multiple uproars from below. His eyes fell upon the damp barren land just below him. The war between the Upper realm dwellers and those at the Lower realm, was at its peak; both sides loosing a warrior by the minute. He sighed wryly, ‘Should I have left them to fight alone?... But it was of great importance to give Garett's son a befitting welcome. He is the crucial turning point of this war.... Howbeit, my comrades have suffered greatly in my absence. This has to stop!’ He raised his head and looked ahead, towards the side of the Brobdingnagians. His crimson eyes shrunk as he saw orcs and goblins crawling out of the ground in their hundreds, running to join the rest of them at the battle front. ”Ugh... Disgusting!” Captain Agner smacked his lips in disgust. His eyelids closed as he

Chapter 39 ~~ The Dark Emperor ~~ Thump! The mountain-sized ball of red volatile energy, pulsated once again, releasing a subtle wave of its energy throughout the battle field. Everyone — the Faes and the Brobdingnagians — excluding Captain Agner and those that had passed out already, felt lightheaded and staggered left and right like drunkards. Emperor Ulak hummed. And just like that, in a whim, the gargantuan ball of volatile energy, vanished without a trace. It happened so fast, it left a sense of doubt in everyone's mind. It was as though, the enormous ball of energy was merely an illusion. But it wasn't so. Captain Agner could still see the energy ball, just that it was as small as an atom. No one else could see it except him. He shuddered. ‘What in Mother Light's name?... This is... Does he want to wipe us all out? A ball of volatile energies compressed to such a minuscule scale... If it is released... No, I can't allow it!’ With his crimson eyes fully concentrated on the
