Whispers of the Unspoken
Kaelen shifted slightly on his ornate stone throne. His voice echoed with a low, measured resonance, bearing the weight of a ruler."Aldric," Kaelen began slowly, choosing every word with utmost care. "Your devotion to Ellara has never been in question, nor has your courage. You have stood by her side as a guardian and a friend, and for that, you have my deepest gratitude."Kaelen paused for a moment. Ellara and Aldric exchanged a brief, gentle smile."Yet Aldric, marriage is a bond that ties two souls together, and right now, the threads of our realm's destiny are frayed. With the mist advancing relentlessly and shadows gathering at our gates, my primary duty is the survival of our people. I cannot entrust Ellara to you today, yet neither do I reject the honor of your request. I ask only for your patience. Continue to stand beside her, protect Ellara as you always have, and let time unveil what lies ahead."Aldric’s sharp mind instantly caught the subtle hesitation veiled beneath Kae
The Unspoken Fate
The Human Realm — Port ValenMorning at Port Valen High School proceeded as usual. Students hurried along the corridors, teachers rushed to their respective classrooms, and the school bell chimed promptly at seven o'clock. Arven sat at his desk, staring blankly at the blackboard, his mind lingering far elsewhere.Dr. Malik.Ever since their encounter on the rooftop, Arven had been unable to purge the man from his thoughts. Not out of fear—he had confronted tsunamis, shadow entities, and portals spanning across dimensions. The man was merely human. Yet humans could prove far more dangerous than any beast. Humans possessed records. Humans operated within organizations. Humans crafted deliberate schemes."Arven." Kiana took her seat beside him, placing her books upon the desk. "You're lost in thought again.""I'm just thinking.""About that man on the roof?"Arven turned to face her. Kiana possessed an uncanny ability to read his mind."I don't know who he is," Arven said softly. "But he
The Mist That Devours
The mist from the Forbidden Forest had reached the northernmost village in the Shadow Realm.The village was called Duskhollow—a small settlement nestled at the foot of the mountains, home to stonemasons and mist hunters. That night, the villagers of Duskhollow heard an eerie sound echoing from the direction of the forest. It was not the call of a beast. Nor was it the howling of the wind. It sounded like a prolonged, layered whisper, as if thousands of souls were speaking in a single breath.Then came the mist.It did not sweep over the village like a sudden storm. It crept. Slowly. Touching every house, every tree, every well. Whatever it touched was transformed. Timber turned brittle. Water grew murky. Vegetation withered in a matter of seconds. The villagers who inhaled it collapsed immediately, their bodies shivering violently, their skin turning pale as ash.In less than an hour, Duskhollow became a dead village.The first report reached the palace via scout birds released from
The Hunt Begins
Arven leaped from rooftop to rooftop, his feet landing lightly upon concrete and corrugated iron. He did not look back. There was no need. He knew Dr. Malik remained standing there, watching him depart. Yet Arven could not stop. Not now. Too many eyes had seen. Too many cameras. Too many questions.He descended from the final building, landing in a quiet alley behind the market. Leaning his back against the wall, he caught his breath. His heart hammered rapidly—not from physical exertion, but from anger. He had been so careful for years. He had hidden his power from everyone. Yet that man—Dr. Malik—had managed to track him down."How did he know?" Arven whispered softly.No answer came. The alley remained silent, save for the puddles formed by the rain he had just summoned and the scent of damp asphalt evaporating into the air.Arven pulled out his phone. Three messages from Kiana lit up the screen.'Where are you? I heard there was a fire downtown. Arven, are you okay?'Arven typed a
The Tower of Smoke
That afternoon, downtown Port Valen was thrown into chaos. Thick black smoke billowed high from the twelfth floor of an office building. Flames leaped from glass windows, shattering panes and sending debris showering onto the streets below. Fire engines arrived from all directions—five units, then six, then seven. Sirens wailed in unison, tearing through the usually bustling city air.People scattered along the sidewalks. Police set up boundary lines. Firefighters unreeled hoses and scaled hydraulic ladders, straining to reach the flames on the upper floors. Yet the inferno was too vast. Strong gusts blowing in from the harbor drove the blaze rapidly to the eleventh floor, then the tenth.Inside the building, employees remained trapped. A few waved frantically from behind windows. Others screamed for help. Smoke began creeping into the hallways, choking anyone caught inside.Amidst the commotion, someone stood atop the roof of an adjacent building. A young man with a school bag slung
The Watcher in the Shadows
That morning, Arven woke earlier than usual. A strange sensation had plagued his sleep all night—a feeling as if something were watching him from afar, not with malice, but with an intent he could not define. He sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the closed bedroom window.Outside, the Valdorian sky remained shrouded in darkness. The birds had yet to sing. Only the morning breeze drifted softly through the trees.Arven rose, slipped into his school uniform, and stepped out of his room. Sarmila was already awake, preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Ajiman sat in the living room, taking slow sips of his coffee."Morning, son," Ajiman greeted."Morning, Dad." Arven took a seat, accepting a plate of fried rice from his mother."Didn't sleep well?" Sarmila asked, observing her son's weary face.Arven gave a subtle shake of his head. "Just a strange dream."Sarmila and Ajiman exchanged a quiet glance. They did not pry further. It was an unspoken rule in their household never to ask abou
