Riri’s POV

I unlock the gates, releasing the monsters. Eight is enough to scatter the survivors guarding and cause chaos. I knew these things would come in handy someday. “Go on,” I whisper. “Release your venom into the world.”

The creatures start marching out in a robotic manner, their black-veined bodies twitching with each step. One still wears a wedding ring. Another has half a child’s toy tight in its palms like she’s keeping a promise to protect it for someone. I stopped wondering what t

  • The Letter

    Kai’s POV“What? You’re keeping a diary now?” Jafser says from behind me, as he roams around my dorm room. “What the hell are you talking about?”He dips his hand into my bag and brings out a small jotter. “What the hell is this if it’s not a diary? And I’m willing to bet you’re writing about Aelia, right?” I rush forward and collect the book sharply from him. “Stop going through my stuff, Jafser or you’re not going to like what I did to you.”He raises his hand in mock surrender. “Well, forgive me. I just got curious. Although I must confess it is quite impractical.” I squint. “What is?” He looks at me with a smirk at the corners of his lips. “That a man like you would be keeping the diary.”“I never said I was keeping the diary,” I say quicker than I intended, and this is more than enough to give me a way. He laughs. “Well you’re going to have a hard time convincing the rest of the world if they see that because if I’m not falling for it, no one else will.” I roll my eyes away and h

  • Abducted

    Aelia’s POVI stand in front of the address Miss Linda gave me, patiently waiting for the man to come out. It doesn’t take long for him to come out and he is exactly the person I saw in my father’s study yesterday. And surprisingly, he doesn’t even live very far from my academy. I can’t say for sure if it is a coincidence or if my parents already had him stationed here before. Their job makes them have many men stationed around the place so that whenever they need them for an assignment, it is always easy to commit to.I watch as a man walks into my Academy, and my heart starts to pound. According to Linda, she heard that talking about my academy and the only connection to it is either me or Kai. I’m no longer in the school and there is an ongoing issue involving Kai. The math is not too difficult for me to put together.He stands in the corner, looking around as if he’s searching for someone. I’m doing the same thing. I’m searching for Kai. I don’t know what for but I’m just searchi

  • The Assignment.

    Aelia’s POV“Aelia, I thought we already made it clear that you were supposed to stay away from that boy?” My mother barges into my room, hand raised in front of me with something in it. Upon closer inspection, I realize what she’s holding, causing me to jump off the bed.“Mother, is that my—.”“Yes, it is. It’s your diary and I see that you still have that boy in your mind. Someone l we specifically warned you to stay away from.”“Mother!” I yell. “What are you doing with my diary? How did you even get it and why would you even read it?” I try to pull it away from her but she beats me to it and quickly takes her hand back. “You don’t get to take this away from me, young lady. And me having your diary is not the most important point of this conversation. Why are you still talking about him? Why are you still coming up with ways to be with him when you’re supposed to be avoiding him?”I let out a deep breath, shaking my head. “Just because you want me to stay away from someone doesn’t

  • Not an Ordinary Mage

    Kai’s POV“Kai! Stop!” Ziven’s voice reaches me through the blinding pain in my head. I pause and look at him, wondering what he has to say now. Maybe he wants to talk about the rematch. After all, no one won. We each tried our possible best to get the other down, but none of us was willing to yield. Directors from both schools had to come together and come up with some kind of solution.“Are you already preparing for that rematch?” He asks jokingly. The rematch is basically supposed to happen in a few months from now. Both academies agreed that since they had never seen a phenomenon like this and neither were willing to take the tie title home, they would give us some time to prepare again and return for a final match. I smile. “I can ask you the same thing. Although you do not look very ready,” my eyes drop the bandage on his arm. He looks at it and smiles. “Fair enough.” We stare silently at each other for a moment before I remember he’s about to leave. All the schools are leavi

  • Unyielding

    Kai’s POVI grit my teeth and shove his knee hard. Then I twist my hips, and get up. The moment I stand, I strike hard, my fist breaking into his jaw, snapping his head to one side.I don’t give him any time to recover. I follow with another blow. Then another but this time he blocks it and drives his shoulder into me. We crash to the ground together. For the next few seconds, all I can hear is the shouts of the crowd as we rubble ourselves on the ground struggling to end this. At this point, we are both breathing breathlessly.Ziven manages to get on top of me but I drive my knee into his stomach. He falls back, gasping for air. I scramble up and bend, panting. Then I offer him my hand. He stares at it and laughs. “What? Is this like giving me a test of my own medicine?” I smirk. “I’m only offering you a hand. Except you prefer to stay down there?” He laughs once, then takes it.I pull him up, and he immediately tries to sweep my feet off the ground. I jump back in time. “You—.” I

  • The Final Match

    Kai’s POVThe entire gallery is packed. Students, parents, directors and all staff are packed in different sections of the gallery. Even people who once demanded my expulsion have come to watch but I make no mistake. I know most of them are here to see me fail, especially after the news went around that I won’t be using my magic to fight. Just strength and abilities. Some cheer when I enter the arena while others whisper.“That’s him? The one who lost control in the dungeon?” Must be a new student from another academy who just heard the gossip.“I heard he absorbed an entire enchantment during his last match,” another late comer chimes in. “Unfortunately, he can’t do that with Ziven. He’s not allowed to use his magic, and that was his only advantage.” I ignore all of them.Across the arena, I see Ziven already waiting with his hands behind his back. He looks annoyingly calm and relaxed like someone with no worries at all. I can’t say the same for myself. I’ve never done any of this
