A PACT IN THE SHADOWS
CHAPTER 11 : A PACT IN THE SHADOWSRaiden walked down the tight, dark hallways of Ivana’s hideout, holding the black crystal she had handed to him. It throbbed softly, almost like it was breathing, sending a strange warmth through his arm. He felt its power pulling at him, softly promising a strength he had only imagined before. But, under the charm, there was a clear feeling of risk, like keeping a fire too near to some dry wood.He stopped for a moment, listening to the sound of footsteps coming closer from behind. Ivana spoke up, breaking the quiet. Her voice was curious and a bit careful.“You’re hesitating,” she said, walking up next to him. She crossed her arms and looked at him with her sharp, calculating eyes. “What is the problem? Are you scared it might burn you?”Raiden stood up straight, holding the crystal more firmly in his hand. “No. I'm just curious about how many other people you've given one of these to.”She lifted an eyebrow, a fun smile playing on her lips. “Just
ECHOES OF THE PAST
CHAPTER 10 : ECHOES OF THE PASTRaiden fell into a deep sleep, filled with dreams, and he found himself as Flocki…..the strong war general he used to be. He found himself in his old life again, sitting in a dark tavern filled with the loud laughter and chatter of his fellow soldiers. The air smelled strong of ale, and there was a lot of laughter bouncing off the wooden walls. The fireplace crackled and gave off a cozy warmth.He sat back in his chair, holding a mug of ale, and listened to his men joking around."Hey General, do you think that woman from the village will show up tonight?" one of the younger soldiers asked, giving him a playful nudge with a grin.Flocki let out a big laugh. "If she knows what's good for her, she should avoid you guys." He took a big drink from his mug and shook his head slowly. "But if she doesn’t, it’s not my fault if she picks the most handsome guy around."A big, tough-looking warrior laughed and lifted his drink. "So, by the end of the night, she wi
The Unexpected Visit
CHAPTER 9: THE UNEXPECTED VISITRaiden woke from fitful sleep, the secret training he shared with only a few trusted souls and the mysterious events of the day before pressing heavily on his mind. He ached all over from pushing the limits of his physical training just last night. But, as always, it was a good pain….a sign that he was breaking through and getting stronger. He was just starting to gain some momentum in that training, when...His eyes opened, and his heart nearly stopped at the sight of Lady Morgana seated in the chair opposite his bed. A cold, predatory gleam glinted in her eyes, and the faint, twisted smile on her lips suggested that she had only been waiting for him to regain consciousness.Raiden sat up as if propelled by some internal force, extending a leg from beneath the bedclothes, with one bare foot finding the floor and pushing him quickly to a stance. Sensing immediate danger, he demanded an explanation."What the hell are you doing in my room?"Morgana found
Shadows And Power Plays
CHAPTER 8: SHADOWS AND POWER PLAYSThe cold stone halls of the manor were illuminated by the flickering light of dark magic as Lady Morgana made her entrance, cape billowing behind her. In the air hung the heavy atmosphere of forbidden spells and age-old rituals. Among the assembly of dark magicians, one would be hard-pressed to find even a whisper of conversation, and for good reason, when Lady Morgana was around, attention was mandatory.Giovanni, the head of the dark magicians, stood at the center of the room and watched her with narrowed eyes. He'd never cared for Morgana's theatrical style, but she and his group had been sharing the same space for quite some time now, and their interaction had been mutually beneficial."Is it you again, Morgana?" Giovanni asked, his voice thick with distaste. "I thought the last chat we had sufficed for all future meetings."Morgana grinned, though her eyes didn't quite share in the humor. "You, as always, do protest too much, Giovanni. I come to
Awakening The Power Within
CHAPTER 7: AWAKENING THE POWER WITHIN.Raiden found himself in the middle of a forest, where the morning mist swirled around his feet. He had never exerted so much energy before, and he could feel his heart racing with the potential of what his newfound power could do. In front of him lay the Swordmaster scroll, and he wasn’t certain why, but he had a feeling it was very necessary that he read it now. Even though it was morning, the forest remained dim, and the scroll illuminated itself for him, the arcane symbols glowing faintly to bring him more ease of use. "Read me," they seemed to command. Raiden took a breath and did just that. He read the scroll out loud as best he could, the words strange and foreign on his tongue. Soon afterward, he seized his sword and did what he had just read.Panting, but with a determined glint in his eye, Raiden lowered the sword. "This is only the beginning," he muttered under his breath, already envisioning the untapped power deep inside him. His m
The Quiet Power
CHAPTER 6: THE QUIET POWERRaiden sat quietly in the garden. A warm, gentle breeze rustled through the leaves as the sun began its slow descent. Before him lay a collection of ancient scrolls, and he was studying them intently, trying to comprehend the complex and difficult teachings on sword magic and chakra gates. The serene ambiance of the garden was quickly replaced by the sound of footsteps approaching…..footsteps that were anything but quiet. As Selene approached, her lips twisted into a smirk that was almost a sneer. She was obviously coming to give him a hard time, and she wasted no time starting in on him. He chose not to respond right away, thinking that if he ignored her long enough, she might leave. He continued to read, his focus unwavering, despite the range of expressions appearing on Selene's ever-changing face.Selene's tone was sharper than necessary. "I heard about your performance at the Conquest. An E-rank? Even for you, that's pathetic. Everyone's been laughing
