Liam returned to the tavern as early as he could.

By the time he arrived, Maya was already up and serving some of the early customers to grab a drink.

From afar, Liam could see that there was a customer who looked like he was about to cause trouble, and he hastened his steps as he marched toward them.

“Why are you so uptight, pretty? Come here!” The man seated on a round table grabbed Maya’s hand and pulled her backward.

He was young and vibrant, more than the usual customers who flooded the place. He didn’t look like he was used to such a place, and it was obvious that he had come for her.

“Let go of me, I beg you,” Maya said politely, but the man refused to budge.

“You should be very grateful that I have my eyes on you, Maya. I have so many girls flocking around me, waiting for me to pick them.”

“That’s good for you then. But I am not interested.” Maya attempted the umpteenth time to free herself from the man’s grip, but that was to no avail.

Then she saw Liam approaching,

  • Save The House

    The teenage boy who had come to deliver the bad news had to take a seat next to him while he struggled to get a grip on himself. “I am coming with you, Maya.” Liam said, and the he led her to his car.He drove as fast as he could while Maya was still unable to deal with her restlessness. From afar, she could see that the five children were standing outside the house with tears gathered in their eyes.“Dave! Audrey! Billy! Are you guys okay?” Maya ran to them, and they embraced her tightly.“They want to destroy our home, Maya!” Amy cried, and Maya consoled her at once. While Liam walked slowly to Maya and the kids, he had his eyes on the bulldozers that were set to demolish the old mansion. The two drivers inside the bulldozers were just waiting for further instructions from their supervisor so that they could crush the building into pieces. “You must help us, Emrys. I beg you…” Maya said, and then she sniffled to control the tears that were almost dropped.Liam saw ho

  • Unanimously

    As the griffins approached, soaring toward them while they screeched with reverberating echoes, Liam was caught between facing the one on the right or the one on the left. To ensure the safety of the dwarves who were the main targets of the creatures, he pushed them aside and grabbed one of the griffins.While the other was still far away, attempting to soar at Kiro, Liam hurled the first at it, and they crashed midair. They both fell, making painful screeches that made them cover their ears. “Let’s go!” Liam gestured to everyone, and they made their way out of the castle before the creatures could struggle to get up from the floor.“Return the castle to the sea!” Liam instructed the druid, and he quickly gestured with both hands. Before the griffins could soar out of the castle, it had already been engulfed by the water, and Mr. Gary fell to the ground and sighed heavily.“That was very close.” He remained on the ground for a while, and then the dwarves joined him one afte

  • Griffins

    Liam and his companions were surprised at how short the dwarf was, he was barely more than two foot tall.“Neo? Can you hear me? Are you there?” Bari grabbed the bars of one of the cells and tried to peep inside, but his height became a hindrance, stopping him from being able to see who was inside. “Neo? Are you there?!” Bari said with a louder tone, but there was still no response.“Help me!” He turned to face Liam who hurriedly walked up to the cell and dragged the door away effortlessly.“Neo?!” Bari ran into the cell as soon as he saw his brother on the ground. “Neo?! Wake up! Wake up!” Bari cried. All efforts to get his brother to open his eyes had failed. Liam stood by the entrance of the cell, watching as Bari struggled without being able to wake his brother up.“I think we should check the others,” Maya suggested, and Liam quickly moved to the next cell. As soon as he pulled the door and hurled it away, he saw another dwarf, curled up by the corner and shaking prof

  • The Ogre

    The three of them looked ahead, attempting to see what was ahead of them, but there was nothing, not even a shadow.“Whatever that was, it doesn’t sound friendly all all.” Mr. Gary said with a shaky voice, struggling to get a grip on himself just like Maya who hurried to stand behind Liam. “Stay close, guys. Whatever that was, it senses us as threats, and I am sure it’s going to come out from wherever it is.” Liam said calmly, looking ahead while the others stood behind him. The growl came back again, accompanied by louder echoes that reverberated from several corners of the dungeon. They could hear the sound of chains rattling from some of the dungeons, but that was the least of their troubles. As soon as the echoes from the growl went silent, the sound of heavy tromping on the hard floor followed suit, causing more tension in the bodies while they kept their shaky eyes staring in its direction. Taking in a deep breath, Liam exhaled some of the tension inside him while he he

  • Hidden Castle

    After almost an hour of driving on the road, they eventually arrived at their destination and alighted from the car before heading down the hill that led to the sea. The hill was located on the outskirts of the city, a place where anyone hardly came, and they could hear the sound of birds and crickets chirping from a distance, and owls hooting from the top of the trees where they nestled. Darkness was already upon them, and even though Maya was afraid that she could fall from the hill as they climbed down, the thought of Liam being close to her made her continue. “That’s the sea over there, Lord Emrys!” Mr. Gary pointed as soon as he saw the sea, still surging under the effects of the wind, cascading from one point to the other while the three of them moved to it, eager to accomplish their mission.Standing in front of the sea, Liam and Maya looked at Mr. Gary who was the only one who knew what next to do, but the look on his face showed that he was struggling with a strange fe

  • Last Resort

    Liam left the Castle as soon as he was well-rested. He headed to the Tavern, hoping that Mr. Gary was back from his travel while he sauntered into the building, ignoring the eyes that stared at him with keen attention. “That’s him! That’s the one I told you about! Strange isn’t he? He walks silently, yet his strength is as noisy as the turbulence of the sea.” One of the old men who recognized Liam whispered to his friend who was not present at the tavern the previous night. Some of the other men in the tavern who recognized him cringed with a little tension, flashes of the memories from the previous night couldn’t leave their minds. They had always been afraid of the assailants who tried to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Gary was not around, and the fact that Liam single-handedly beat them to a pulp made them very wary of him. Some of them adjusted themselves quickly, hoping not to offend him for any reason. Even the stares from his orbs were enough to send jitters down their

  • Clue

    Liam was gradually becoming very impatient with Reggie, but he tried as much as he could to remain calm. “Reggie?” “Yes! Jack! He had an emergency, and he had to leave! Yes, that’s what happened!” Reggie chuckled again to cover his nervousness. “He had an emergency? What type of emergency?”“Erm? He…He.” Reggie stuttered, and more sweatballs streamed down his face while he searched for the right answer to give to Liam. “His mum sent him on an errand! Yes! An errand…” Reggie nodded to affirm his words while he continued to avoid eye contact with Liam who nodded slowly. “It’s fine,” Liam said with a low tone, and then he looked at the others who quickly withdrew their gazes from him at once, pretending to be talking about something else. “Yeah! He should be home now, probably with his mum. You should check his house.” “Alright. Thank you, Reggie.” Liam waved at Reggie with a smile on his face, and then he turned slowly and walked back to his car. Sitting silently, Liam

  • Where is Jack?

    Liam saw that the old lady was gradually becoming very apprehensive, and he looked for a means to get her to calm down. He forced a smile on his face, but that still wasn’t enough to get her to calm down. “Where is Noah? What happened to him?”“I need you to calm down, Miss Thompson. Noah is safe, he is probably out there someone on one of his jobs.” “I don’t believe that! Noah would never go anywhere without telling me!” The old lady stood up from her seat at once and struggled to walk toward Liam who hurriedly grabbed her when he noticed that she was about to stagger. “What happened to Noah? Tell me! He said he was going to a party with you last night!” She looked into Liam’s eyes, making him look away at once, cringed by a little guilt. “Please, have a seat, Miss Thompson. I promise to tell you everything that happened.” Liam gently led the old lady back to her seat. He removed the wool, the scissors, and the knitting needle from the chair before he made sure she was comfo
