Chapter 24 : Shadows Of The Past
A scream tore through the night. Sharp, shrill, and filled with terror. Then came an explosion that shook the walls of the Far Away, followed by the sound of splintering wood and distant cries. My eyes flew open instantly. My body moved before my mind could catch up. I swung my legs off the bed and stood, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest.A chill ran up my spine as I touched the cold floor. Maybe it was the winter air, or maybe it was the mana that now hung thick in the air — heavy, cold, and suffocating. I took a slow breath and exhaled, watching white mist form from my lips. Something was very wrong.“What the hell’s going on?” I muttered under my breath.Footsteps thundered past my door. Without thinking, I grabbed the handle and yanked it open. I saw Uriel and Isaiah running down the hallway, both of them heading downstairs toward the source of the commotion. I followed right after them, not even stopping to put on my boots. I jumped down two steps at a time, landing with
Chapter 23 : Far Away
The inside of the cottage was nothing like the outside. Warm, golden light spilled across the walls, revealing a space far too elegant for the ruins surrounding it. Paintings hung neatly—landscapes of forests, rivers, and skies untouched by war. Vases of fresh flowers stood on polished tables, their scent soft and soothing. A silk rug stretched across the wooden floor, and the windows were draped with purple curtains that shimmered faintly in the glow of the lanterns. For a moment, I forgot where I was. It didn’t feel like Tarot. It didn’t even feel like Luminara. “Welcome to The Far Away,” the man said warmly as he stepped behind a small desk in the corner. “How may I be of service?” Uriel and I exchanged a glance—confusion clear on both our faces. After what we’d seen outside, this place felt unreal. Uriel stepped forward first. “You said you’d explain what happened?” The man blinked, then smiled, almost awkwardly. “Ah. Yes. I did, didn’t I?” He stepped from behind the desk, br
Chapter 22 : The Fallen City Of Tarot
The roads were silent—eerily so. Since leaving Evergreen, not a single traveler had passed us. No wagons, no traders, not even a stray wanderer. The air hung heavy with tension, so thick it felt almost tangible. Even the wind seemed afraid to move. I could feel something off in the world around us. Uriel must have felt it too. Her crimson eyes darted across the quiet road, scanning the woods and the horizon. Her hand rested close to her blade, fingers twitching ever so slightly. Every now and then, she’d glance behind us, checking the path we’d come from. We hadn’t spoken since breaking camp that morning, but I didn’t need her to say a word to know what she was thinking. Something isn’t right. We stayed on edge as the day stretched on, every sound pulling at our nerves. When a bush rustled a few paces away, Uriel’s reaction was immediate. Her mana flared, wrapping her in a faint blue glow. A spell circle flickered briefly in her palm, ready to strike. But the danger never came. O
Chapter 21 : Dark As Night
Another cold morning in the Evergreen. My last one for a while. I stood outside my tent, breathing in the sweet scent of dew resting on grass. The air was sharp, fresh, and quiet—only the soft singing of birds and the hum of wind filled the forest. Peace. After all the battles and chaos, this stillness almost felt unreal.Today, I would leave the Evergreen with Uriel and begin my journey back home to Fulmere. I hadn’t slept much last night, tossing and turning with thoughts that wouldn’t let me rest. But now, standing here under the pale morning sun, I felt… fine. Better, even. I let out a soft sigh that came as a puff of white mist before stepping back inside my tent.My bag sat on the bed, already packed. I had time to spare, so I threw myself onto the bed, staring up at the tent’s ceiling. My mind wandered to the words Azrael had spoken.“You can either be the sword of heaven’s light, or the hand of darkness. Either way, you will hear one name—Abaddon.”I hadn’t thought much about
Chapter 20 : A Dance In The Moonlight
The storm had passed.When I came to, the dark clouds were gone, replaced by a boundless blue sky. Warm sunlight poured across the field, and the air carried the gentle hum of life—birds singing, wind whispering through the grass. It was as though the world had been reborn. I blinked, trying to make sense of it all.Flowers stretched as far as my eyes could see, their petals glistening under the light. I had no idea such a place existed within the Evergreen. For a moment, I simply stood there, lost in the strange peace that surrounded me—until the ground began to tremble beneath my feet.The rumble grew louder. I turned sharply, scanning the horizon. Then I saw it.Charging through the meadow came the massive creature that had once ravaged the Evergreen. Its scales shone like iron, its long appendage whipping through the air with terrifying grace. But what struck me wasn’t the beast itself—it was who rode upon its back.Elise.Her hair danced wildly in the wind, her laughter carried t
Chapter 19 : Emerald Eyes
The rain poured heavy, winds cutting through the camp with violent force. Flashes of lightning lit up the dark sky. A storm had overtaken Evergreen, drenching the earth until it turned to mud. The ground squelched beneath every step, puddles swallowing boots whole, while the wind howled like a living beast tearing through the tents. The smell of wet earth and smoke clung thick in the air, and each strike of lightning painted the camp in flashes of white and shadow.Yet Elise was putting on her armor. She had insisted on carrying out her mission today, storm or not. The armor fit her perfectly, like it was made for her—every plate aligning smoothly, every strap tightened with care. Her movements were calm, deliberate, graceful even. Water streamed down her face as she adjusted the gauntlets, her eyes—steady and full of resolve—meeting mine.I forced a faint smile, though my chest felt tight. I agreed with her decision, but letting her go alone was out of the question. No matter how com
