Then I'll Carry Both
Arman stood still for a moment, his chest rising and falling heavily. The group of troublemakers scrambled away, dragging their battered leader along, leaving only silence behind. The park suddenly felt emptier, as though even the air was afraid to stay too close to him.Arman glanced down at his hands. They trembled slightly, not from weakness, but from the rush of what he had just done.Damn... I lost control again. I didn't even need to use that much force. If I keep this up, people will start noticing I'm not normal.He quickly shook his head, pushing the thought aside, and turned toward Ayesha. She was staring at him with wide eyes, her lips slightly parted."Ayesha... they won't bother you again," Arman said, trying to steady his voice. "But please-don't tell anyone about this."She nodded slowly, her expression still caught between fear and awe. "I won't. You saved us... that's all that matters."Arman gave her a small smile, though inside his chest his heart was pounding like
I Did What I Had To Do.
The streets were quiet, washed in the warm glow of the morning sun. Shadows stretched short across the stone path as Arman walked with his hands shoved into his pockets. His footsteps echoed lightly, but in his head there was another sound -one that always carried weight. levon's deep, booming voice resounded within his mind. "Hey, kid." Arman's shoulders twitched slightly, though he was used to the spirit's sudden intrusions by now. "What is it this time?" he muttered under his breath, eyes scanning the open streets. "The thing I wanted to tell you," levon said, his tone unusually serious, "is about your Nexus Unbound form." Arman blinked. "Yeah? What about it?" There was a pause. Then, the words fell heavy, like a hammer striking an anvil. "You cannot use it." Arman stopped walking. "What? Why the hell not?" "Because your body isn't ready," levon replied firmly. "You can't handle my full power yet. Right now, your limit is fifteen percent. That's as far as your fles
A Brief Rest
The swirling silver-blue light of the portal. shimmered behind Arman before collapsing in on itself, vanishing into nothing. He stepped into the familiar confines of his room, and for a moment, the tension of the Order's stone halls felt like a bad dream.His bed greeted him like an old friend -the same soft mattress, the faint scent of laundry detergent and a hint of his own. shampoo lingering in the pillow. It was grounding, almost comforting. He ran his hand across the blanket and let out a slow breath.Glancing at the wall clock, his eyebrows shot up. "Man... it's only five a.m.?" he muttered, rubbing his face. The early dawn light barely touched the curtains.Tomorrow, his real training with the Order would begin. That meant waking before sunrise, probably sweating buckets, and facing instructors who made the Elderslook like friendly grandparents. And before that... there was one thing he couldn't avoid."I have to talk to Mom and Dad," he murmured to himself. "If I've only got
The Dagger That Cuts Space
Arman stepped out of the heavy wooden doors, the echoes of the Elders' voices still ringing in his ears.The corridor outside felt strangely quiet compared to the suffocating air of the chamber.His shoulders, tense and rigid moments ago, finally sagged."Man… that was terrifying."He muttered under his breath, running a hand through his messy hair."Those guys… they were old, sure… but certainly not weak. I didn't even know how to respond to half of what they said."His heart was still beating faster than it should.He let out a long exhale and whispered,"Damn this social anxiety."Ievon's deep, resonant voice boomed inside his head, carrying that familiar tone somewhere between teasing and commanding."Well, kid, you weren't bad today. So cheer up — you're still alive."Arman rolled his eyes and snorted."Oh, thanks, Master. That's very reassuring.""You're welcome."Arman adjusted the strap of his jacket, shaking off the lingering tension, and let his eyes wander down the hallway.
Welcome to The Order, Arman
"Arman, you're coming with us—to the Order of Aethen."The woman's voice was flat, calm, and unnervingly certain. Her face was unreadable, like a statue carved to conceal emotion, and yet her words carried an invisible weight — the kind that made the room feel smaller.The fluorescent light above his bed flickered, throwing brief shadows across the walls. The faint scent of incense still hung in the air from the stick he'd burned earlier, now cold and lifeless in its tray. His blanket clung damp to his legs, twisted like a rope, a reminder of the uneasy sleep she had just broken.Arman shot upright, eyes narrowing."What the hell is the Order of Aethen?" he snapped. "And what are you doing in my room? Who the hell are—"He never finished.THUD!A sharp, blinding pain erupted at the base of his neck. The world spun sideways, his breath caught in his throat, and the floor seemed to lurch upward to meet him.What the hell just happened? he thought, seconds before the darkness swallowed h
The Return and the Invitation
The bus came to a slow, sighing halt at Sikar station, its brakes hissing like a tired beast finally resting. The doors creaked open, and Arman and his friends stepped out into the dry afternoon heat. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden haze over the bustling streets. Dust danced lazily in the air, kicked up by impatient autos and the occasional cart rolling by.Arman adjusted the strap of his bag as his shoes met the familiar cracked pavement. He took a deep breath—the scent of hot concrete, fried snacks from a nearby stall, and something distinctly home hit his senses all at once."Finally," Zubair muttered behind him, stretching until his back popped. "Feels like we've been on that bus for a year."Meera, still holding Aayesha's hand, looked up at her with a pout. "Sis… when will we meet again?"Her voice was soft, nearly swallowed by the honking horns and distant chatter of the station. Aayesha opened her mouth, but her words were interrupted by Kajal's chipper voice."O
