The shockwave from The Awakening had gone through the realm, shaking each house and each clan. Every beast was on high alert, knowing that there was something awake, something that shouldn't be there had stirred from its sleep. But it wasn't only the beasts that felt the surge of power; everyone in the realm felt it, and it was clear that they felt something rather odd. "What was that?""I don't know, but from what I felt, it's something rather powerful…” All the people in the capital city, Voxia, felt the wave of power; it wasn't a secret that something powerful had awoken in the realm, but it left the question…What was it? ~ “I don't know, Uncle,” Emrys spoke, feeling rather troubled. I stepped into the Epoch Vault, trying to see if he would understand why it worked for him this time and what was going on. In his former life, when he stepped into the Epoch Vault, the primordial sparks turned their backs on him. It was one of the most mind-wrecking experiences he had gone thr

The Patriarchs were about to take their leave, knowing that what they had come to do was settled and there was nothing going to be a problem. As they boarded their carriages, Sirus stayed back. Wayne turned to look at the white-haired patriarch. “Now what does Frost Drake wish to do?” he asked, looking at Sirus. “I wish to have a cup of tea with the Valin Heir,” Sirus said, a smile on his face. Wayne shook his head as he boarded his car; the look on his face softened. “That smile you keep on your face is more creepy than facing three-headed demons; I don't know what you have been doing, but seeing that look instead of the usual cruel smug I am used to makes it more creepy.” Sirus nodded as he waved Wayne goodbye. Emrys stood there, looking at the man. He understood what Wayne Verion was trying to say, and it wasn't hard to pick up. Sirus’ smile was a mask. The man was not that kind of nice person, and there had to be something of great importance that made him decide to stay

As Emrys walked to the call room, memories of his past life kept haunting him, and he couldn't shake them off, knowing they would remain there. He could see it on the day his father heard he had signed to merge with the Crofts. It caused a disagreement between him and his father and slowly became one of the biggest turning points in his past life. “You aren't fit to be the Patriarch of this house! Look at the decisions you have made!” Kane roared, his veins bulging as he stared at his son. “Father, I will do everything to make sure that Diane will give us back the life…” “Open your eyes, Emrys; can't you see that she plans nothing of that nature? House Valin is now under them and whatever they say is law…you can't rewrite that, and going against that law is treason!” Kane stared at Emrys, knowing that they were doomed from the moment he signed the contract. “You are a disappointment; from all the ages of Valins, you are the stain on our name.” The look in his father’s eyes sh

“Just because your father said you were my ally doesn't mean that I would accept you…” Emrys was trying to push Kai away; it was hard seeing that the man wasnt someone who would even take no for an answer. “Hey, come on…” Kai smiled as he moved around the hall; his movements were calm and collected, almost as if he were drifting with the wind itself. “I am only here to help, and I know you would need it sooner or later.” Kai spoke, sitting down as he watched Emrys move to the table, trying to pay attention to the families that Sirus had told him had a hand in the distribution of ziagara across the realm. Focused on what he was trying to do, he kept his mind open, knowing that there was a chance what he was looking at was a far bigger operation than he would want to give credit for. “If you are trying to spot the movement of the pills, then you should focus on the alley where Argon’s Tavern is located. For some reason, Father and Lord Taron have been getting people who were taking

The fight with the demon raged on, Emrys controlling his aether and movements, trying to make sure that he wouldn't destroy the buildings or lives close to them. Kai moved efficiently across the battlefield; there was something about the demon that left him void of words. ‘This thing…’ He thought to himself; soon he and Emrys were standing side by side. “The demon is taunting us; it hasn't used a powerful move yet because it believes that there is a chance for it to defeat us.” Emrys said what was on Kai’s mind; there was something rather fascinating about the attacks that made them feel even more threatening. Kai had a smile on his face, looking at the demon, knowing that there wasnt anything that would prepare anyone for the next battle. “Emrys, if we keep facing this demon here, then it would eventually spread out…” He pulled his spear down, staring at the monster right in front of him, and there was something about the way it held it up. The hands cracked, as if it were a
