The door to the cell opened and the Buba threw Julian inside. He fell roughly, and the Buba scoffed and groaned while they locked the door again. Julian sighed as he dragged himself to sit up but the wound at the back of his leg was killing him. He muttered inaudible things while he cursed at the Buba, before slowly turning his attention to Blaize who just sat there, looking at him."What's up with you?" He asked Blaize who then sighed. His chain of thoughts had been disrupted and as he glanced at Julian, he saw the wound bleeding."You need to tie that up. It will get infected if you do not. " He said to Julian who scoffed."Either way, it is bound to get infected. Aren't you a mage? Have your powers come back yet? You could try healing me, you know. That will be much appreciated right now." Julian said to him."Unfortunately, I cannot heal," Blaize responded and Julian scoffed."Of course, the only thing that would have been useful to me right now is the very skill you do not posses

Percy's lifeless body was dragged past them before the Buba came to take them to their cell. Blaize was angry. He had never felt such anger and it was suffocating him. He felt like he should have done more, he should have taken Percy's place in the fight. But everything happened so fast. The circumstance was beyond his control."Not that one. The leader wants to see him." A Buba said to another while they tried to push Blaize into the prison. The Buba stopped and gazed at Blaize before drawing him back.Julian watched as they took Blaize away. Blaize on the other hand did not fight. He just followed the Buba as they keep him towards the leader's place. It was already sunrise but the warmth of the morning sun did not amuse Blaize. He barely even felt it. The sun swept the clouds off the sky, leaving the bright blue firmament to complement its golden rays. It was beautiful, but it was not enough. The Buba led him into the house and threw him on the ground. The Precious stones that ado

Cara gasped as the creature hurled towards her. It didn't look like the Phoenix she had always felt, but not that she had ever seen the Phoenix before. Was that how it looked? Was that how angry it was? The creature hurled at her and as it did, the dark reflection of herself which had been standing before her, suddenly levitated into the air.The dark smoke escaping from its body slowly filled the atmosphere, like it was attempting to trap Cara within it. She staggered back and decided to run when she noticed that there was no way for her to survive both attacks. She wasn't really sure she would wake up should she die in that state. As the Phoenix kept approaching, she quickly tried to climb the cliff. Her sloppy legs kept slipping from the rocks which would propel her to the top. She just kept trying but to no avail.Then the creature opened its mouth and shrieked, and when it did, a gust of energy hurled at her. Cara quickly took refuge beneath one of the large rocks and what surpr

The town's name was...Pyra. Alastair could tell from the inscriptions they had at the entrance. The letters were quite similar to those in Elderien and they looked like they were just inscribed. As the letters were the first things Alastair noticed about the city, the gloomy nature of the place was the next thing that came to mind.Whenever they walked past people, they usually for a stare or two. Alastair wondered why that was. It was not that they were dirty or anything. Alastair watched the people as each walked past him and all he could observe was that Pyra was a terribly depressed place. Why were they gloomy? What happened to their joy?"Is it just me or is this town creepy?" Cara asked Alastair and she suddenly made eye contact with a young woman. The woman suddenly looked away like she was vermin. Cara scoffed."She's not even pretty." She muttered as she tried to catch up with Alastair."I don't think they like us very much." She said to him."Just keep going. Do not mind the

"A mage. Now that is something I did not think I will be seeing today. But you know how the universe works. We make our plans and it just does its own. Or, isn't that right, Mage?" The man asked Alastair but he just nodded. "I need to get back. I left someone behind. I appreciate your help so far but I got it from here." Alastair said to him and the man chuckled."Who did you leave behind?" The man asked him. The carriage bumped and Alastair could hear the man curse."It was my ward. She is all alone in the streets now and she must be scared. I need to find her immediately." Alastair replied. The man nodded and looked at him."Why don't you use your magic to find her? You can do that, can you not? You can do anything with this power of yours. Give it a try. Come on." The man persisted. If Alastair did not know better, he would have thought that the man was obsessed with magic.Alastair closed his eyes and focused again, but still, something was blocking that particular spell. He trie
