CHAPTER FORTY-TWO Kelvin walked into his bedroom at once, and when he was about to move to the bed, a thought crept into his mind. He slowly walked up to the cabinet close to his bed, opened the drawer, and pulled out the golden dagger which belonged to Circe. Sitting on the bed, and carefully holding onto it with his right hand, he looked at it for a while, observing the unique carvings on it, and the fact that he had never seen a knife as sharp as it, not even the ones used in the restaurant where he worked as a waiter. “What is so special about you?” He whispered to the dagger as though it could hear him, looking at the sharp edge, and wondering what kind of steel was used in making it. “Vella mentioned that it was forged by the dwarves and was one of the greatest weapons of all time. This is so handy to be a great weapon.” Kelvin pushed his index finger on the sharp tip of the dagger, and it stung him at once, causing him to grunt at once while he looked at the spot on his fin

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR Kelvin stared at Lord Raul as he walked toward his throne. His hands were clasped behind him, and he walked very slowly as though he were waiting for Kelvin to join him. When Kelvin saw that Lord Raul was getting farther away from him with every step he took, he had to go after him, increasing his steps as well just to make sure he caught up with him. Lord Raul continued walking until he got very close to his throne before he stood still and turned toward his right with a smile on his face. “I want to take you somewhere, Kelvin. Somewhere I think you need to see…” Lord Raul said in a low tone while Kelvin stepped forward, eager to know where he was going to take him. “We need a ride to that place. Hold on, I will get us one.” Lord Raul lifted both hands in the air while Kelvin looked up with a little nervousness, thinking that he was going to see the huge dragon that he dreaded. Instead, a bright light appeared in the sky, and two white-winged horses appeared

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX The moment Kelvin heard Vella’s voice behind him, he turned around to look at her with a look of surprise on his face. “Vella?”“Hello, Kelvin. I knew you were going to do it; I was certain of it.” Vella wore a pleasant smile, and after she chuckled softly while looking at Kelvin, she turned toward Lord Raul, who also wore a smile. “Lord Raul?”“Vella? You were right; he certainly is the right one for the task. I had my doubts about him, but seeing what he just did, I am convinced that we made the right choice after all.”“I told you so, didn’t I?” Vella asked Lord Raul, who nodded in response, his smile unapparent. He turned to look at Kelvin, who was looking at them with several thoughts running through his mind. “Kelvin? Are you still here with us?” “So this was a test?” Kelvin asked with a whisper, looking at Vella, who refused to say even a word while she continued staring at him. “This wasn’t a test, Kelvin. I was just being spontaneous and wanted to sati

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT Kelvin woke up the next morning with thoughts of the events of the previous night lingering in his mind alongside the appointment he had with Jerry Johnson at the school storehouse. He spent almost half of the day doing nothing apart from eating and making plans while he took some time off, scrolling through the content he saw on social media.Eventually, it was time to leave for school, and he got ready at once, carrying his dagger along with him just in case he was going to have any need for it. Clad in comfortable attire and with black boots that he was certain he could run in, Kelvin walked out of his chambers with his phone in his pocket and the dagger carefully tucked into his pants. He descended the stairs slowly, and while he was halfway to the ground floor, he saw Gladys and Monica standing very close to the rail as though they had been waiting for him.“Is everything alright, Ladies?” Kelvin stared at them curiously, not sure of what to deduce from th

CHAPTER FIFTY Kelvin waited for a few seconds, but Vella refused to say anything while he continued scouring the entire corners of the library, looking at the books and the scrolls that were balanced on the shelves hanging on the walls. Some of them were way up high, and the staircase built on the walls needed to be ascended before getting to them. “Vella? You are not saying anything.”“Follow your heart, Kelvin.” Vella retorted at once, causing Kelvin to scoff at once, not sure he was satisfied with the response he got from Vella. “How is that supposed to help, Vella? I don’t even know what this book looks like, and it would definitely take a while before I can find it.”“The amulet will help you, Kelvin. I do not doubt that you will surely find it. Follow your heart, Warlord. The book is closer than you think…” “Who are you talking to?” Jerry’s voice startled Kelvin almost immediately, causing him to turn to look at him while he cleared his throat, pretending not to know what he
