“Teresa, we need to get her out of it, I don’t know what’s going on but I’m guessing Kai is also involved, can you contact Fabio?” Atticus asked, his voice heavy with desperation.Teresa had almost given up trying to help Catherine because nothing she tried, nothing she did helped Catherine get back to herself and even her voice wasn’t getting through to her.Teresa’s eyes widened, fear was starting to override her brain even though she was doing everything in her power to not let it take control, she failed, her hands were shaking, her body was convulsing but not violently.She couldn’t see anything, the room had faded into a blur and there were noises in her head, too many noises, she could tell that someone was talking to her, giving her instructions but she couldn’t quite point out who that person was.The voices in her head were jumbled up and her eyes rolled back as sweat broke out of her face, dribbling down in buckets as though a dam had broken and her heart…. Her heart was po

The storm inside her cracked open and Teresa could barely breathe as the only thing she let out was a scream that tore through the estate like a bolt of unholy lightning, and in that moment, her mana shattered its last thread of restraint.She was trembling, the room felt cold. Too cold even for her but she could barely leave, she was unable to help herself up and walk out of the room with Clarissa’s body still on the floor.“I KILLED HER. She’s dead because of me!” Teresa’s voice was sharp and sounded almost like a screech as she screamed, it was as though she was in over her head, as if she was going mad.Her eyes were so wide that her eyeballs looked like they were about to fall off the sockets and blood drew closer in each eye as Teresa screamed.The air trembled, the walls groaned and the floor beneath her pulsed with ancient inscriptions that hadn’t seen the light of day in centuries.Her body arched violently off the ground, hair fanning around her like an elemental crown, her

It’s been more than three weeks since Kai had almost lost his fight against Drakarion and while training was going well, Fabio hadn’t told him that he was strong enough yet.“I want you to be prepared for anything because today… today, I will decide if you’re strong enough to return to the estate.” Fabio said and Kai nodded.He had spent almost a month refining his skills, trying to get stronger and doing everything in his power to see to it that no matter what happened, he wouldn’t be completely useless in battle.“Today, according to what Catherine saw, you’ll be facing the terrain itself, that’s… something.” Fabio added and Kai could see the hesitation, he could tell that Fabio was worried.He knew that if Fabio could stop him from facing the terrain, he would but he couldn’t, not when conquering the terrain is the one thing he needed to do to prove that he could face thousands of men, even millions of them.Kai had struggled against Drakarion and while it was one of the most diffi

“You think I came this far to let you consume me?” Kai growled and a loud thunder struck, causing the sky to split as the Terrain screamed, screaming as though Kai had just struck a nerve. Closing his eyes, Kai could feel his heart thumping really hard against his chest and so loud in his ears that he could barely hear anything other than that sound. Back in the truck, Fabio couldn’t help but be nervous, he paced around, his body shaking, his palm sweating but he knew that getting out of the truck and going to where Kai was facing the terrain was going to be a bad idea. “Please keep him safe,” he muttered as he sat, he was on edge, waiting for things to change, waiting for Kai to open the door and even though he’s going to be beaten up, he should show up victorious. “Keep your son safe.” He added as if he was talking to his dead son, begging him to keep his grandson alive. Back in the terrain, Kai was struggling and that much was evident. He knew that it wasn’t going to be easy b

Rebecca was about to close the gap between her and her sister but when she saw Nora’s face, she stopped dead in her tracks. It’s been a while since she’d last seen her sister like that.Just what did those people say to her? What did they tell her? They still have more time, don't they? Did those families move the deadline up?Rebecca’s mind was reeling with questions she didn’t have answers to and it seemed as though she wouldn’t get the answers to the questions running through her mind because right now, Nora didn’t look like she was in the right frame of mind.Nora looked shattered, her lips parted and her eyes were glassy and distant as sweat beaded along her brows, it was painfully obvious that she was only barely hanging on to her consciousness. “What’s going on, Nora? The fact that you’re not saying anything is getting me more worried.” Rebecca confessed and Nora finally blinked.Rebecca didn’t mean to put pressure on her sister like that but she felt like she needed to know w
