《Claimed By Darkness》CHAPTER 8
Advertisement
Jude and I's lips met, he slowly pushed me against the door as our lips moved faster, hungrier. I run my hands through his hair and gently tug it. While Jude caresses my waist and back.
I wake up to my alarm clock blaring at me. Some dream that was. I chose to ignore it and focus on getting ready for school, I can finally stop wearing the gloves. I can now control the burning and the energy, now I will learn how to shoot energy balls and waves at people. I could not wait!
I practically skipped into the breakfast hall, people gave me the same looks but I couldn't care less today. I scoffed down some cereal and almost ran to class. I was sort of avoiding Jude, not just because of the dream I just had. But also because of that coffee last Saturday. I knew Jude could feel what I was feeling towards him, and that scared the fuck out of me.
I sit inside Mr Faye's classroom, waiting for him to come in. I hear his voice faintly through the door as I see him arguing with someone, I tilt my head to see he's yelling at Penelope?! I turned to face the front as I see him come inside.
"Okay let's get started."
I could tell he was in a grumpy mood so I quickly follow him to the front of the room. "Do it like I said during the last lesson."
I point my hand at the target across from me, I summon the energy and electricity inside of me and aim a beam towards the target. I hit the bullseye.
"Very good! Try again."
----
I felt very drained after my next lessons, and I was happy that it was lunchtime. I go into the mess hall and grab a cheese sandwich, sitting alone on my table. I see Jude walk in with a couple of his mates, I downcast my eyes but I know he's looking at me. I put in my headphones and play some music, surely that will stop him from bugging me.

I thought I had done it, but near the end of lunch someone sits beside me. I tug my headphones out and look up at Jude.
"What?" I say impatiently.
"Just wanted to say hello."
"Yeah well, I've got to go."
"Stop it Odette." Jude says as he grabs my wrist. "Don't fight your feelings, it will only blow up in your face later."
I stare at him in shock for a few moments, before sauntering off to my next lesson.
----
It was 7pm and I was sitting in the library finishing off some of my science homework when I hear some people whispering behind me. My curiosity got the better of me and I move closer towards the sound.
"That bitch is going to get what's coming to her!" It was definitely Penelope's voice.
"She hasn't done anything to you." That was probably one of her minions.
"It's just a little prank Monica, chill out." Says another female voice.
"Whatever, let's go do it now."
I hide behind the bookcase until I hear their footsteps pass me. I wonder who they were talking about. I sigh and sit back down, finishing off my homework.
"Uh hi." I look up at Jude's face.
"Hi." I echo back. He just stands there awkwardly while I stare up at him. "Did you want to tell me something or..."
He doesn't reply and shifts his weight from foot to foot. "I'm just going to be really forward here."
"Okay go ahead."
"Do you like me Odette? Like actually like me."
My breathe hitches and my heart beats faster, "aren't you supposed to be the person who can 'feel' everything?" I don't know why I didn't just answer his question.

"Forget it, you're just going to keep on deflecting it." Jude then turns and walks out.
"Wait, Jude!" I yell after him but it's too late.
"Why'd you let him go?"
I jump in my spot and groan at the voice. "Hello Caspian," I say as I turn to face him.
"He's a nice boy, I suggest you slap that ass the next time you get the chance."
"Oh my god, just stop talking. Why are you here?" I ask him.
"Just wanted to see how things are going. Anything bad yet?"
"No, I'm fine everything is fine."
"Cool." He replies.
"So... if you're a God shouldn't you be you know, taller, bigger, more godlier?"
"I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that, but you see I am a God and I can take on any form and I can look anyway I want. I've chosen to look like this so drop it." Caspian fires back.
I gaze over at his thin and tall frame once more, before settling on his face. "I need to go, I'll see you later." I grab my books, but I'm surprised to see Caspian still standing there.
"What?!" I say annoyed.
"Something's happened Odette. Let the games begin." are his final words before whooshing away into the darkness.
Great. Now Caspian's being all mysterious. I make my way up to my dorm, walking over to my bed I look up to see something written on the wall.
WATCH YOUR BACK EVIL BITCH
Was written on my wall in what looks to be red paint, I run out of the room to find Mr Faye. So THIS was what Caspian was talking about.

Champions of the Boundary
In reality, there exists a realm between reality and fantasy, where all maner of magical creatures exist, and the warriors summoned as they died in reality fight against the forces of a powerful being known only as the Shadow of Life. Here, they live in a world with experience and Levels, Classes and Skills, and they fight against monsters, training for years just to achieve a Level that can allow them to make a small difference. Yet even with this training, it is not enough. The Crystal Adventurers are forced to retreat further and further every year as the Shadow of Life's monsters grow stronger and more numerous, destroying cities at an increasing rate. If the city of Maelnor falls, then it will be less than a year before nearly all of the Crystal Adventurers are wiped out, both those brought to the realm upon death, and those born and raised there. Legends tell of a prophecy that describes a team led by the legendary child of the prophecy, a child whose destiny is not to end the Shadow of Life, but to act as a harbinger, one whose very existence will turn the tides of war, one who must meet three seemingly impossible or currently unheard of criteria before the tides truly change. This is the tale of Team Noruva, which consists of a quiet, yet wise healer, a silent, but thoughtful rogue, a knight with an iron will, a wolf beastborn who gained access to the System, and their leader, who ignores the impossible and does whatever he wants, because why the hell not? This is the tale of their adventures and daily lives, their ups and downs, their struggles, successes, and losses. **REGARDING PoV'S*** There will be 5 total PoV's in this story. However, four of them will take several dozen chapters (beginning Chapter 73) to start happening, with the first two "Books" focusing just on Zack, which is why there's the Multiple PoV's tag on here, even though only one's around at first.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
