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."

“This kid is toying with Elanor, and what was with that inappropriate way of touching her?” Gita spoke from the general stands, his brows knitted tightly.“Now what do you think about this duel, since you have been vouching for Elanor in her previous bout?” Murime said, glancing sideways at him.“You’re twisting my words and intent now, Murime,” Gita replied sharply. “I was not vouching for her.I was only stating the truth—Antonov was never her match.”“Then what about this one?” Murime pressed. “After the kid defeated Lukan, you went quiet and never made another comment.”“Ei, Murime, let’s just watch the bout,” Gita said dismissively, crossing his arms.“After all, we will both witness who ends up winning.

The midnight bell rang.Its sound was even deeper than before,more unatural ancient, and absolute—one heavy toll that echoed throughout the Grand Sanctuary of Greatness like the decree of the heavens themselves.The resonance rolled through towering arches, through layered stands, through the very air saturated with mana and anticipation.As it welcomed midnight and the final duel, the roar of the crowd below erupted all at once, voices colliding into a thunderous wave that shook the gigantic battlefield.Under the vast, moonless sky filled with endless stars, Oasis Bluemoon(Volacris) stood before Elanor Bal.Unlike every other match before this—where participants took their positions at opposite ends of the battlefield,separated by distance and caution—these two stood at the very center.Face to face.Close enough that the space between them felt charged, compressed, alive.No grand gestures.No needless movement.Just two figures standing beneath the stars, as if the entire tournam

Few hours later.Kingdom of DuskreedBrivana Royal Region — Royal City of OmaraThe night skies above Omara were ignited with countless stars, a vast silver tapestry stretched across the heavens, unmarred by the presence of the moon.Its absence made the starlight sharper, colder, as if each point of light were a watching eye.A night breeze whispered through the grand avenues of the city, carrying with it a faint chill that brushed against skin like a warning rather than comfort.Omara was immense—an imperial city worthy of ruling a kingdom.From its outer districts to the royal heart, the city burned with light.Lanterns lined every road and bridge, their warm golden glow reflecting off polished stone streets and towering white walls etched with sigils.High-grade mana lamps hovered at intervals above major crossings, humming softly, their cores fed by refined mana stones.The air itself felt dense, saturated with wealth and power, as though massive layers of gold, spirit crystals,

Just before the technique takes hold—In a blinding burst of speed that most within the noble gallery failed to even register, Barrett Woods moved.There was no warning aura flare, no pressure surge, no distortion of air to announce his intent.One moment he was seated—composed, dignified, seemingly relaxed—and the next, space itself appeared to fold.In an instant, Barrett stood before Oasis.Two fingers snapped forward.They struck the side of Oasis’s neck with terrifying precision,landing on a point so exact that even seasoned Enlightened cultivators would hesitate to target it casually—a spiritual circulation node,a hidden convergence where refined mana flowed upward toward the conscious realm pathways to ignite the spiritual techniques.The impact was gentle.Yet devastating.The moment his fingers connected, Oasis felt it immediately.His spiritual circulation halted.Not shattered.Not disrupted.Sealed.!!!The reaction was instantaneous.Before sound could even catch up to

That stance was completely off,” Delvan whispered, barely containing his excitement.“Brother, if he shifted his weight just a fraction earlier—”Oasis nodded occasionally, offering brief responses, sometimes a faint smile, sometimes a single word.Delvan,
