Less than a minute after leaving the hall, Daniel, Roley, Jerigh and the father and son couple found themself at the end of a dimly lit corridor. This corridor was not too large, and allowed only three people to move through at the same time. At the end of it, one could see a large double door made out of stone, and from the chinks at the sides of each slab of stone, people could see a light shine through. The temperature of the corridor was a huge tell about what was going on on the other side.…-

The next morning. Daniel and Serf were spending time practicing one of the assignments that one of their alchemy teachers had given to them. Serf, just like every other time, was capable of completing the task right from the beginning, while it was not the same for Daniel. During the past couple of hours, Serf had found himself in the position where he needed to give a few suggestions to Daniel more than once in order to increase his chances of succeeding, and after only a bit, he started to…

"Here is our part of the deal." Said the teacher while handing a small ring over to Daniel. Daniel immediately caught the ring in mid-air, and after checking its content, and verifying that there were in fact a hundred thousand perfect crystals like promised, he stood still in quiet for a few seconds. Then, against the teacher’s expectations, he threw the ring back at him without saying anything. The teacher grabbed the ring in mid-air, and controlled if Daniel had touched or added anything in…

It was now late in the evening, and Daniel, Alesia, and the rest of the town’s cultivators had just managed their way back into the town. At the same time, Serf had gone back into one of the laboratories within Daniel’s company building to produce large amounts of antidotes for the poison of the dryads. Daniel and Alesia stood quietly to the side, and observed the various mixture of reactions to the events of the previous few days. A few cried for the loss of their relatives, a few were happy to…

The sudden attack had made the stranger drop the talisman he was holding, which fell on the ground, and disappeared underneath a thick layer of dry leaves. "Hey! I don’t know you.. Why are you attacking me?!" He asked with a mixture of anger and shock. Daniel, which was now standing where the stranger previously was, lowered his upper body, and picked the talisman off the ground. He then observed it, and felt a wisp of immortal essence of which he could not calculate the power. There was a large…

"We haven’t done anything to anger you! Why are you threatening us?!" Asked the town chief with clear anxiousness. One could feel the exasperation built on days of fear towards his people. The Queen of the Dryads looked at the town chief with a blank expression, yet, after she started speaking, people started to realize how shocked by the words of the town chief she actually was. "Done nothing!? He has been killing the members of our kind for months now! HE EVEN KILLED OUR YOUNG ONES! We weren’t…

Four days had passed since the conversation between Daniel and Serf, and now, the two of them, along with Alesia, were standing in front of the entrance of a town built right outside of an ancient looking forest. From outside of this town, only a few kids and old people could be seen walking around in a depressed manner, giving the city a ghastly look. Once Daniel, Serf and Alesia stepped into it, a grey-haired old man dressed in simple clothes approached them from the side of the road. "You have…

Back in his room, Daniel was sitting quietly on his bed. He could feel a sort of poisonous substance invade his body, alon with the black liquid of the pill that counter it constantly. More than once he had attempted to remove it by himself, but his immortal essence seemed to be unable to interact with it. It behaved as if the substance belonged to the body, and after washing over it, it would simply spread again. Daniel wanted to use ’Time is Precious’ but he was scared that if he sped up…

"..kill me now.." Said Daniel through a weak and faint use of immortal essence. Alesia sunk into panic. She didn’t understand why Daniel had asked her to kill him, but on the top of her head, she could only believe that he was in pain, and wanted her to end his sufferings.. Something that she could never do, or at least not until she understood what was really happening. Tears started to stream down her cheeks as she said "No no no no no.. please.. Don’t die.. Please.." her sobbing almost…

"I agree, but only if they agree on demonstrating a perfect comprehension of fire to me.." Said Daniel with a demanding attitude. His teacher could clearly see that Daniel was not willing to take no for an answer, yet, he wasn’t able to promise that sort of exchange.. Especially the part about demonstrating a perfect comprehension of fire. Not so many people were capable of demonstrating a perfect comprehension of an essence, and fire was not an exception. In fact, fire was one of the hardest…
