2025-02-18 00:48:44Mason didn't utter any word, he simply made his way into the room and laid down on the floor to sleep. Aurora gazed at him in disgust before resuming her chat with John on the phone. The duo chatted and laughed nonstop, and all Mason could do was lie there with his pillow covering his head, he had to deal with the problem of not having any magic wand nor spell and his girlfriend cheating on him.
The morning sun rose up, and Mason woke up from his sleep. He stood up from the floor he slept on and glanced at the bed where Aurora could be seen still fast asleep.
He made his way into the bathroom and had a quick shower before getting dressed and heading downstairs.
Mason made his way to the fridge and picked up a bag of chips and a bottle of juice before heading out and making his way towards the bus station. While heading to the bus station, Mason munched on his chips and took a sip from a juice.
The only reason why he was headed to the news company was to submit his resignation letter to John. He couldn't afford to be humiliated by John and get thrown out once more, so he decided to resign before that happens. He plans on finding a way to get his magical abilities and wand.
Mason took a bus that took him straight to the company. He got off the bus and made his way into the building.
"Morning, Mason!" Zoey who has been awaiting his arrival approached him after catching a glimpse of him walking in, but Mason didn't respond as he kept walking forward with his face bright red in anger and a piece of paper in his hand.
"Mason, are you okay?" Zoey inquired, worried for her friend. The way Mason was acting right now, she could tell something bad happened back home. Mason didn't still respond as he stepped into an elevator and closed the door before Zoey could get in.
The elevator took him straight to the top floor and he stepped out and walked towards John's office. Without knocking, Mason barged into the office and saw John sitting comfortably on his chair.
"Mason? I was just about to call you, bro." John spoke up after catching a glimpse of the man that just walked in. "You assaulted me, the Manager yesterday, and I am sure you know I can't let that slide. So that's why I..."
Before John could finish his words, Mason tossed a letter on his desk with an emotionless look. John gazed at Mason's face before shifting his gaze back to his desk and picked up the letter.
He glanced at it and read through it.
"A resignation letter?" John muttered.
"Yes, a resignation letter. I just saved you the stress of firing me." Mason responded as he turned around and attempted to leave, but John's words stopped him.
"A poor boy with such a bad attitude and confidence. Interesting. Let's see how far this confidence will get you." John bellowed. "You are just good for nothing, no job, no money, no magical abilities, no wand." He added.
"Watch it!" Mason snapped, making John flinch in fear and kept quiet, afraid that yesterday's incident might end up repeating itself, and he was still healing from Mason's punches.
Mason glared at him before turning around and exited the office, leaving John alone in the office with a grin on his face.
He took out his phone and swiftly dialed Aurora 's number, informing her about Mason's resignation.
Mason took the elevator and began to exit the building, but Zoey rushed over to him and blocked his path.
"What's the matter, Mason? Tell me. You are actually scaring me." Zoey demanded in concern.
"I just resigned." Mason informed with a smile that was clearly not from his heart.
Hearing the words of Mason, Zoey's eyes widened in shock.
"Why? What happened?!" Zoey blurted out in shock.
"It's a long story which I am clearly not ready to narrate right now." Mason responded, sadness evident in his tone.
Zoey saw the saddened expression in Mason's eyes and knew it would be best to not push further and respect his decision.
"So, this is goodbye?" Zoey asked calmly.
"No, not at all. We can still hangout like we used to from time to time in school. I just need to focus on getting my magical powers. Don't worry, nothing will change between us and we will still be friends." Mason placed his arms on Zoey's shoulder and assured. Zoey nodded and smiled.
Mason then bid her farewell and exited the place as he made his way back home.
Mason arrived back in the mansion and made his way in. Entering inside, Mason found Aurora waiting for him furiously in the living room.
"You are finally back, you worthless boy!" Aurora retorted the moment she caught a glimpse of Mason walking in.
Mason stood there in bewilderment after hearing the words of Aurora and struggled to understand the reason behind her words.
Mason was truly stunned by the words he was hearing from his wife.
"You aren't just worthless but also lazy! You are poor and jobless and even useless to the magic community!" Aurora remarked, glaring at Mason in disdain and disgust.
"Just drop the pretense already! You think I don't know you told your lover to fire me first thing in the morning?" Mason finally spoke up, unable to take Aurora 's deception.
"Stop making things up to make me look like the villain here! You resigned at your own free will, why will I want to make John fire you? You think John has the time to waste on you, you know what, it is over between us, I'm leaving your house and please when you see me in school, don't ever try to call my name" Aurora said angrily and left Mason's small house after breaking all ties with him.
Mason was shocked at the height of her deception and realized she only wanted to humiliate him with John's termination.

Chapter 110
The road back from the Black Hills was heavier than the march east. They carried fewer supplies, fewer voices. Some who had left with Mason did not return. Their bodies lay buried beneath the charred ruins of the village, marked only by scorched stones and the smell of ash.Norra walked beside Mason in silence, her small hands clenched into fists. She had watched him burn shadows with fire that was not his. She had seen him shake after, skin pale, breath ragged.She had wanted to scream at him to stop. But she hadn’t. Because the shadows would have swallowed them all if he hadn’t.Now, with each step, her chest ached with a fear she could not voice. Refugees followed them west. Men, women, children with hollow eyes. They spoke in whispers that spread like smoke. “They say he carries the Saint’s fire.”“They say the silver-eyed warrior burns darkness itself.”“They say Aurora gave him her soul.”Mason heard them. He ignored them. His silver eyes stayed forward, cold as steel, but John

The courtyard was quiet at dawn. The flame mark pulsed faintly, its glow softer than in the nights before. The pilgrims who had camped at the gates still slept, their breaths rising in steady clouds, but Mason was awake.He stood at the edge of the courtyard, silver eyes fixed on the east. The Black Hills waited there, jagged shadows across the horizon. His jaw was tight, his shoulders squared. He had not spoken much through the night, but all who saw him knew what weighed on him.The messenger’s last words were still sharp in his mind. “They gather. Fragments… shadows… Vazquez’s remnants.”Mason closed his hand into a fist. “Then we’ll meet them.”By midmorning, the survivors gathered in the ruined hall. It was smaller than it had been, half the roof missing, the stone cracked. But the voices inside carried strong.John stood at Mason’s side, his arms crossed, his silver eyes cool. Norra sat on the step nearby, her chin lifted high, defiance glowing in her young face.Students, old

The courtyard was silent after the blaze. The flame mark glowed faintly in the stone, pulsing like a dying heartbeat. The survivors sat in a circle around it, their faces pale and heavy with grief. Norra had not moved in hours. Her hands rested on the mark, her forehead pressed against the warm stone. Her tears had dried, but her eyes were hollow, her voice faint. “She gave everything,” she whispered. “She was all we had.”The students bowed their heads. No one argued. No one dared until the air stirred. The mark flared suddenly, brighter than before. Sparks rose into the night, golden and silver, swirling together.The students gasped. Some cried out in fear, others in awe. Norra lifted her head sharply, her heart pounding. “Aurora…?”But the light was different this time. Stronger. Sharper. Not soft, like Aurora’s flame, but cutting, like steel through darkness.John stepped forward slowly, his silver eyes narrowing. “Wait. That isn’t her.”The sparks twisted upward, shaping into

The sun rose over the academy ruins. Its light spilled across shattered walls, broken towers, and scorched earth. Yet even with the dawn, the brightest thing in the courtyard was not the sun.It was the flame mark burned into the stone. It pulsed faintly, gold light rising and falling like a heartbeat.The survivors gathered around it, whispering among themselves. Some bowed their heads in prayer. Others touched the stone carefully, as if afraid it might vanish.Norra sat beside the mark, her hands pressed against it. Her hair was tangled, her clothes torn, but her eyes burned fiercely with determination.She hadn’t left the mark since the night Aurora vanished into fire. When the younger students asked her why, she always gave the same answer. “Because she’s still here. I can feel her.”Her words spread quickly. The children began to sit near the mark with her, some whispering Aurora’s name, others humming softly like a song.Every time the mark glowed brighter, Norra’s heart leapt.
Chapter 106
The courtyard was silent. The fire had gone, leaving only smoke curling through the broken air. The ground was cracked, the walls scorched, the academy bells silent at last.At the center of it all, burned deep into the stone, was the mark: the shape of a flame. Norra stared at it, her chest heaving, her tears falling freely. She fell to her knees, pressing her hands to the mark as though she could pull Aurora back through it. Her voice broke in a whisper. “You can’t be gone… you can’t…”Around her, the students gathered slowly, their faces pale and hollow. No one spoke. Some were crying quietly, others just staring at the mark in stunned silence. One boy whispered shakily, “She… she saved us.”A girl beside him wept, clutching her arms. “But she’s gone. She’s really gone.”Their voices spread like ripples, sorrow echoing across the courtyard. John stood a few steps away, his silver eyes fixed on the mark. His jaw was tight, his fists clenched, his body trembling with something he c

The sky split open. From the heavens above the academy, a column of fire descended, vast and bright, tearing through the clouds like the birth of a new sun.Students and teachers staggered back, shielding their eyes. Some cried out in awe, others in terror.Norra stood frozen in the courtyard, her eyes wide, her hands trembling. The warmth pressed against her skin like a tide. Her voice broke in a whisper. “Aurora.”The fire struck the ground in the center of the academy courtyard. The earth cracked, stones shattered, and light spilled across every wall.When the blaze faded, something stood in its heart. It was Aurora, yet not the Aurora they remembered.Her body glowed faintly, her skin traced with lines of light. Her hair burned like fire, flowing endlessly down her back. Her eyes blazed gold, brighter than the sun. Every step she took left sparks on the ground.The students gasped, fear and awe mingling. Some fell to their knees, whispering prayers. Others staggered back, clutchi
