2024-05-07 20:17:56The gentle sound of the Silverwater River echoed through the tranquil hamlet of Riverbend as the morning sun cast its golden rays upon the sleepy village.
The river's surface shimmered with the soft light, its gentle currents weaving a mesmerizing dance as they flowed towards the distant horizon.
Nestled on the banks of the Silverwater River.
Riverbend Hamlet was a quaint and picturesque village, its rustic charm accentuated by the natural beauty that surrounded it.
Wooden cottages with thatched roofs lined the cobblestone streets, their colorful flower gardens blooming with vibrant hues.
The scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of the nearby forest.
Birds chirped merrily in the trees, their cheerful melodies adding to the peaceful ambiance of the hamlet.
Sir Elias Hawthorne stirred from his slumber in his cozy abode on the outskirts of the village.
The morning sunlight streaming through the windows and casting a warm glow upon the wooden beams of his home.
Beside him, Oasis lay sleeping soundly, his breathing steady and peaceful.
With a soft sigh, Sir Elias rose from his bed and made his way to the window, gazing out at the tranquil scene unfolding before him.
The village was beginning to stir to life, villagers going about their daily routines with a sense of quiet contentment.
As Sir Elias watched the hustle and bustle of the hamlet below, a sense of anticipation stirred within him.
Today marked the beginning of a new chapter in Oasis's journey, and Sir Elias was determined to make it count.
With a sense of purpose, Sir Elias set about preparing for the day ahead.
He gathered his belongings and roused Oasis from his slumber, gently shaking him awake.
"Rise and shine, young Oasis," Sir Elias called out with a warm smile. "We have a journey ahead of us, and it's time to get moving."
As Oasis blinked away the remnants of sleep and stretched his limbs, Sir Elias continued,
"By the time you're fully awake, I've already packed our supplies. We're setting out on a new adventure today."
Confusion flickered in Oasis's eyes as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"But I thought we were supposed to start training today," he said, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Don't worry, my boy," Sir Elias reassured him, clapping a hand on his shoulder.
"Our training is about to get much more serious. In fact, it's about to become a journey of its own."
As Oasis processed Sir Elias's words, a sense of excitement began to bubble within him.
"Where are we going?" he asked eagerly, anticipation shining in his eyes.
Sir Elias chuckled softly, a twinkle of mischief dancing in his gaze.
"Ah, now that's a surprise," he replied cryptically.
"But first, we have a stop to make before we begin our training in earnest."
As Sir Elias and Oasis stepped out onto the bustling streets of Riverbend Hamlet.
They were greeted by the warm morning sun and the cheerful hustle and bustle of the villagers going about their daily routines.
Passing by the wooden cottages and colorful flower gardens, they exchanged greetings with familiar faces along the way.
The baker waved from his shop doorway.
The aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the air, while the blacksmith nodded in acknowledgment as he hammered away at his latest creation.
Near the edge of the village, they encountered the fisherman who had found Oasis unconscious by the riverbank not long ago.
He approached with a broad smile, gratitude shining in his eyes as he clasped Oasis's hand in a firm handshake.
"I'm glad to see you up and about, lad," the fisherman said warmly. "You had us worried there for a moment. But it looks like you're back to your old self again."
Oasis returned the fisherman's smile, gratitude flooding his heart for the kindness and concern shown by the villagers.
"Thank you," he replied earnestly. "I'm feeling much better now, thanks to your timely help."
As they continued on their way, they passed through the bustling market square, where vendors hawked their wares and villagers gathered to socialize and barter for goods.
One of the villagers, a kind-hearted woman with a basket of fresh produce, approached Oasis with a warm smile.
"Good morning, young lad," she greeted him cheerfully.
"I heard you're setting off on a journey today. Here, take some fruits and bread for the road."
"It's not much, but it'll keep you fueled and nourished on your travels."
Oasis accepted her offering with gratitude, touched by her generosity.
"Thank you so much," he said sincerely. "This means a lot to me."
As they bid farewell to the villagers and made their way out of Riverbend Hamlet.
Sir Elias couldn't help but reflect on the sense of community and camaraderie that permeated the small village.
It was a place where neighbors looked out for one another, where kindness and compassion were woven into the fabric of everyday life.
The memory of receiving the news about the upcoming Whispering Exam flooded Sir Elias's mind.
It had been just the night before, as they entered their abode and prepared for rest after his moment with Oasis by the river bank.
As they settled in, one of the villagers had approached them with urgency, delivering the news about the exam that would take place in nine months' time.
Sir Elias had listened intently, his mind already racing with thoughts of how this would impact Oasis's training.
Now, as they walked along the familiar paths leading out of the hamlet, Sir Elias couldn't shake the weight of responsibility that settled upon his shoulders.
The upcoming exam meant that Oasis's training would need to be intensified, his skills honed to perfection in preparation for the challenges that lay ahead.
"I must take Oasis's training more seriously," Sir Elias muttered to himself, his voice barely audible above the gentle rustle of the trees.
"If he is to participate in the Whispering Exam, he needs to be prepared for anything. By the time the exam starts, Oasis would already be 8."
Oasis glanced up at Sir Elias, sensing the gravity of his words. "Is everything alright, Sir Elias?" he asked, concern etched into his features.
Sir Elias nodded, a determined expression crossing his face.
"Yes, everything is fine, Oasis," he replied, his tone firm.
"But from now on, your training will become more focused and rigorous. We have a goal to work towards, and I intend to see you reach it."

Karn katana traced afterimages of blazing arcs in the air, each step shattering patches of grass and sending up bursts of pressure in his wake.But ahead of him, Oasis remained still.Completely still.Not a twitch, not a shift in posture—just the boy with black tousled hair and unreadable azure eyes, standing there as if Karn’s approach was no more threatening than the morning breeze.“Knowing this kid, that was not just talk… he’s holding back.” Karn’s teeth clenched as his body cut through the field with terrifying speed, wind flaring around his crimson aura like a screaming storm.“He’s doing it on purpose. I need to stay calm,” Karn told himself, jaw tense. “The moment I lose rationality against someone like him, my head will roll.”His mind raced, spinning with possibilities. “If things get too dangerous, I can take to the skies… unless…”A terrible realization cracked through his thoughts.“He’s a phoenix.” Karn’s eyes narrowed slightly as his aura flickered. “And yet… he’s nev

Karn Ironclad unsheathed his katana.The moment the blade left its scabbard, a sharp gleam cut through the morning sun—a silver arc of metal so polished it looked like starlight made solid.As he raised it, crimson aura spilled from the edge like ink in water, rippling violently and lashing out toward the cyan blaze that roared around Oasis Volacris.The clashing auras carved grooves in the air, pressure trembling between them, threatening to collapse."Fascinating... a martial aura of an Awakened is playing tag with an Enlightened’s."The murmurs began, quiet and awed, spreading through the ranks of both armies.Suddenly, Oasis moved.Without wasting a second, he shot forward like a cyan blur, cutting through the space between them.CLING!The sharp clang of metal echoed across the plains as Rudra, his azure blade, met Kurishimi, Karn’s silver katana.Sparks flew. The wetlands quaked.A shockwave erupted from the clash—an invisible quake that vaporized shallow water in an instant.Mu
Chapter 253: Springfield - Oasis vs Karn(1).
The sun had already climbed the horizon, casting a soft amber glow on two figures stepping forward—one from Lunaris , one from the Kingdom of Ironhold , both brought to Verdantia by war and grudges.No birds sang. No blades clashed. Only wind stirred… choked and thin under the pressure of two opposing auras.Karn and Oasis stood at the center of the plain, a narrow gulf of wet earth separating them.The air between them warped faintly, trembling under the weight of their spiritual presence.Their auras were restrained—barely—but even so, they pressed outward like giants lying in wait.Armies on both sides watched in reverent silence, anticipation clenching every chest like a vice.Karn’s expression was unreadable as he slowly reached behind his head and untied the cord that bound his long black hair.It fell past his shoulders like a curtain of shadow, rippling faintly under the invisible pressure of his aura.“So it’s already time… to finish what we started,” Karn said coolly, his vo
Chapter 252: Springfield - Duel .
The battlefield was a vast, open plain of wetlands, soaked with dew and misty vapors from the dawn that had just passed.The rising sun cast golden hues through the thin fog, reflecting off the shimmering wet grass that carpeted the terrain between the two armies.Despite the presence of hundreds of thousands of cultivators, a heavy silence hung over the field.On either side, formations were set with precise discipline—lines upon lines of warriors ready for war, yet none had moved.No sword drawn. No technique unleashed. Only silence, a breath held before the storm.The air trembled with restrained tension, as if even the wind dared not cross the dividing plain that separated Verdantia's defenders from the invading forces.Birds circled overhead, wary and quiet. The faint scent of rot and iron wafted through the air, remnants of skirmishes past.At the Invaders' SideNear the command line of the invaders' camp, Varian held a long, engraved artifact shaped like a telescope.As he pre
Chapter 251: Springfield - Midnight warning.
Verdantia Camp, MidnightThe camp was quiet, save for the soft crackle of distant torches and the occasional rustle of tents under the wind’s breath.Near the edge of the ridge overlooking the vast, swampy lowlands where the invaders’ forces had set up their banners, a lone figure sat calmly atop a perfectly round stone pillar, about a meter high, sculpted from the earth itself.Oasis, clad in his flowing dark robes, stared into the horizon with a tranquil expression, as though trying to see beyond the veil of night and war.His azure eyes shimmered faintly like twin flames, watching the flickering enemy fires in the distance.From behind him, a familiar voice called out, laced with teasing warmth."So you don’t even greet your senior sister here?"Oasis didn’t turn.With a casual lift of his arm, the ground beside him responded to his will—another identical stone pillar emerged from the soil, as if summoned by a silent command."Sit here," he said, voice calm.The woman stepped forwa

In the heart of the invaders' camp, a surge of morale swept through the tents like wildfire.Word spread fast, from the elite encampments to the grunt barracks—Draco Ignis had been crippled.The news, sent through encrypted seals and whispered tongues, originated from Jovial Shadowfen himself.Grins cracked through grimy, bloodstained faces; laughter erupted among ranks too tired to dream.One of Verdantia’s pillars had fallen.But while the lowborn soldiers celebrated around flickering pyres, a very different atmosphere gripped the central war tent.The massive tent stood like a bastion of dread.Reinforced with beasthide and shadowsteel ribs, it pulsed faintly with demonic sigils.Within, the most dangerous men and women of the Stormcaller family, Shadowfen family, and Ironhold Kingdom and others had gathered around a war table engraved with runes of conquest.Jovial Shadowfen, a cloaked in fear and reverence, stood at the head of the table.His dark violet eyes were like frostbitte
