UNAVAILABLE
The sun was high in the sky when Joran reached Darren’s compound. The air was warm, carrying the faint scent of dust and smoke from the nearby fields. He looked around, expecting to see his friend somewhere outside, maybe tending to the animals or chopping wood. But the place felt strangely quiet, too quiet.He knocked on the wooden gate once, then twice. No answer. He called out, “Darren! Are you there?” Only the rustle of leaves replied. After a few minutes, Darren’s father appeared from behind the house, wiping his hands with a small cloth. His expression was calm, though lines of worry traced his face.“Ah, Joran,” the old man said kindly. “You’re here early. Darren went hunting this morning. He hasn’t returned yet.”Joran’s shoulders dropped slightly. “He went hunting?” he repeated, trying to hide his frustration. “Then I’ll wait for him.”Darren’s father looked at him carefully. “Is something wrong, my boy? You look troubled.”Joran took a deep breath. His jaw tightened. “Yes, s
THE THREATENING
The sun was sinking low behind the hills when the trader began walking toward Joran’s compound, his heavy boots pressing against the dusty road. The air felt thick, almost watchful, and even the birds seemed to hold their breath. Joran was outside the compound, sitting quietly on a wooden bench, lost in thought when he noticed a shadow moving from a distance. He squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly who it was.As the figure drew closer, Joran’s heart began to beat faster. The man’s shape, his gait—it all felt familiar. Then, as the rays of the fading sun caught the man’s face, realization hit him like a spark of lightning. It was the trader.A sudden wave of unease washed through Joran’s chest. His legs trembled slightly. He didn’t know what the trader wanted or why he was coming directly to his home. But something about the man’s expression told him this wasn’t an ordinary visit. Still, he swallowed his fear and steadied himself, forcing his hands to stop shaking. He refused to l
TRYING TO FIX IT BACK
When Darren finished explaining the strange dream to his parents, the house fell into a heavy silence. His mother’s hand trembled as she set down the wooden cup she was holding. His father’s face grew pale; even the flickering lamp on the table seemed to dim, as if reacting to their fear.“Darren,” his father finally said, his voice quiet but firm, “dreams like this are not to be ignored. They come for a reason. You must be careful with every step you take from now on.”His mother nodded, her eyes filled with worry. “Yes, my son. We’ve warned you before. There’s something strange about your powers. If the king or the royal guards find out, we could all be in danger. Promise us you’ll be cautious.”“I will,” Darren replied softly, though he didn’t sound entirely convinced. His father studied him for a moment longer before letting out a long, weary sigh.“Let’s eat,” he said finally, trying to steady his voice.They moved to the dining table. The smell of roasted grain and herbs filled
TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE
After enjoying the peaceful wind and staring at the beautiful skies, Darren finally went back into the house. He felt calm, yet something inside him wouldn’t rest. He told his parents that he wanted to go out hunting again. His father looked at him carefully and said, “Always be careful, my son.” What his father didn’t know was that Darren had already fought with a monster on his way back home the other day. He hadn’t told anyone about it—not even his grandfather. That secret still burned in his chest. He only nodded to his father, trying not to reveal the truth, then went into his room and took out the original sword—the one connected to his magic, the one he had almost sold to the trader. He held the sword firmly, feeling the faint golden glow pulse beneath its surface. It hummed softly in his hand, like it was alive. Darren wrapped it and placed it on himself, then headed outside, ready for the hunt. This time, his expression was serious—he wasn’t smiling as usual. He went to t
SHOCKING CONVERSATION
When Darren woke up in the morning, the first thing he saw was the faint glow of sunlight streaming through his window. The air was calm, carrying the quiet hum of birds outside. He stretched, still feeling the strange weight of the dream he had last night. His heart felt heavy, as if the dream had followed him from sleep into waking.He stepped out of his room and met his parents in the sitting area. “Good morning,” he greeted them with a tired smile.His mother looked at him closely. “How was your night, my son?” she asked.Darren sighed. “It was... strange. I had terrible dreams again,” he said softly. His father exchanged a glance with his mother, concern flickering in both their eyes, but neither spoke right away.After a moment, Darren excused himself and went outside. The morning breeze touched his face gently as he walked toward the backyard. He crossed the small path that led to the field behind their house and made his way to the farm where the animals were kept. The goats b
MISUNDERSTANDING
That evening, Darren did not go home. Instead, he walked straight to his friend Joran’s house. The night air was cool, and the village was slowly falling silent as lanterns flickered in the distance. When Darren arrived, Joran was nowhere to be found. He decided to wait, sitting quietly by the small wooden fence in front of the house.Minutes turned into hours. He waited for nearly two hours, the evening growing darker, the air heavier. Then, at last, he saw Joran approaching from the path, carrying a small sack over his shoulder.When Joran came closer, he looked at Darren in surprise. “Darren? What are you doing here at this hour?” he asked. “You should be at home by now.”Darren’s expression was serious. “You shouldn’t be asking me that kind of question,” he said firmly. “I came to see you because there’s something I need to discuss with you.”Joran frowned, a little confused but curious. “What is it? What’s going on?”Darren took a deep breath before speaking. “I heard from the tr
