《Shadow’s World》25. A workout

Alex POV
I explode. I sent an array of attacks at the spider, lightning, ice, fire, wind, earth, and water. I attack the entire room for an entire minute. My room was torn to shreds and there were burnt marks all over it also the room was soaked and wet. I took some deep breaths, um, I need to get a new room. That spider is gone and well everything in my room as well. Um, what to do know? I have destroyed my room and any minute now people are going to be running down the hall to see what in the world is going on. I leave the room and walk down the hallway when I meet the only people I didn’t want to see. Erica was running down the hallway with a worried look on her face. “little brother how are you doing? I was worried when you didn’t have lunch with us. So, I came down to see you. Well, are coming to eat lunch now?” I look at her with a surprised look. “didn’t you hear the noise I cause and that is why you are running down the hallway?” “noise what noise? No little brother, I was just worried that you didn’t eat and came to see how you were doing.” “I have missed lunch plenty of times and never seen you run down the hallway. What are you really up to? Yes, I destroyed my own room, it is not like I need you to protect me from it.” “Little brother why would you destroy your own room lets go and have a look at it.” Following her lead, we both make way to my room.
What in the world it is in perfect condition and nothing was out of place. This cannot be I just destroy this place how come it doesn’t have a scratch on it. Erica turns towards me and says, “Little brother I am worried about you. You need to go to the nurse office because you are seeing and hearing things.” After looking at this room I agree with her. I swear I just saw a spider that talks about killing my parents and destroying this room. I might have been imaging things well I did just had a fight and might have a concussion. I cannot be seeing things and hearing things while on the battlefield. We walk into the nurse's office and Erica sends me to one of the best nurses in the office. While walking into the room I see two adults shriving in the corner rocking back and forth saying snakes, music, man-child, and not fairy user nor Jeonglyeong. Well, it looks like I wasn’t imaging the shadow or whatever he is calling himself. The nurse saw me looking at them and said, “they are lucky to be alive, it seems someone sent them into the middle of the ocean and deep underneath the waves. It took all of their strength to get back to solid land. Too bad we cannot figure out how they got there it would be nice finding a way to kill those fairy users.

So, Alex why are you here?” “I am hearing things and seeing things. Not only that but I thought I destroyed my room but it turns out I didn’t do it. I am worried I have a concussion. I did have a fight with a rampaging fairy was knocked into the wall by an elder.” “well, let's look at you and see if you have anything wrong with your head to come here so I can give you a head exam.” I walk up to the x-ray and got and check. It took a few minutes and I got a report. It came back with nothing. Erica looks at me and says, “you might be stress having to fight a fairy user, getting a brand new team, and me being on your team. So, go exercise and I will bring you dinner once it is dinner time. Since we both know you are not going to stop to eat until someone gets you.” “You know me so well something I do like it that you are my sister but then I remember that you are evil and shouldn’t be trusted. Well, your suggestion sounds good. Wait, how did you know I fought a fairy user, I only told the nurse about the fight I had.” Erica sighs and looks at me with a tired expression. “ the moment the elders took you away I knew what they wanted from you. They need to test your strength and I know that there are new elders here today because my parents told me. It was not hard to figure this crap out, little brother.” I shrink my shoulders and wave goodbye and walk to the practice field. I turn around said, “ oh yeah Erica, tell the team that we will start practice early tomorrow. I want to see how far they are in their elements. So, see you tonight when it is time for dinner.” Erica waves goodbye and I run to the practice room.

I put on some weights and did some running. This is nice getting stronger to get revenge. After the running, I start doing some light exercising and working up a good amount of sweat. This is good for me clearing my mind and relaxing the best I can. Moving about working out is a great way to get rid of this stress. Even though I do not like the idea but Erica does know me the best.

Branded
From the second Eluc awoke in this world, he was filled with questions. Why can he not remember his past, what is this White Room, and where the hell should he go? Leaving these unanswered, he could only traverse this world based on his instincts alone. However, Eluc still had one lead: the Brand upon his wrists. Author's Thoughts: I want to return to this story one day, perhaps in a re-write. Ended up writing an entire other novel and now might have the confidence to undertake this to write another story. To anyone even reading this, sorry for the hiatus but thank you for reading this attempt at a story. Beautiful cover image edited from a picture by JR Korpa
8 169Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?
