*Sizzle* “Ouch.” The moment Isabella teleported into the fleeting lands, she fell onto the blazing sands of a lifeless desert. She got herself up on her feet and dusted off the hot sands from her uniform before scanning her surroundings. Even though she was quite sure where she was, she brought out her map from one of her pockets just to confirm her location. ‘The Sandy deaths’- that’s what was written just a bit West of the circular Medial mountain range. She folded the map and put it back…-

In a dense forest of purple plants, a young man with otherworldly looks appeared out of nowhere. He barely stabilised his footing before standing upright. He looked around. The atmosphere was not so dark as the dawn approached. He was surrounded by forty feet tall plants with dense star shaped leaves. Unlike the ‘mainlands’, there was no snow everywhere. ‘Purplestar forest.’ He closed his eyes. Everything in his surroundings, up to a radius of eighty metres came into his ‘view’. He was able…

The Grand Imperial Institute- the largest academic organisation of the Empire: It covered a vast span of lands- stretching across tens of kilometres. This behemoth of an Organization could support a thousand students for four whole years. It was already more than more than five months into the year; a few days remained until it became six. The already lively campus became livelier; it was approaching: ‘The Hunt’ was knocking at the door. “Professor Rodney, how is the preparation going?” A middle…

Wearing his blue lined uniform, Adrian was all set to give the South-Western tower a visit. The moment he opened the main door of the Fredrick house, his eyes met that of the principal of the Academy, Rastia Bell. “All ready?” She looked at him from top to bottom. “Want to come in? We can have a session before we go.” He smirked. “Not now, they are waiting.” She shook her head, even though her eyes betrayed lust. ****** “Why are you so stiff?” The brown eyed tower master looked at his…

It has been four months since this year’s batch joined the Academy. The freezing climate had yet to die down. This year’s Griffin class was not bad, but compared to previous year’s batch- they were lacking; the class consisted of only three tier 4s, unlike last years ‘seven’ and a tier 5. Everyone left their classroom as today’s classes ended. An average looking 16 year old with common black hair and brown eyes headed for the library. Unlike most of the students who were in groups or with a…

Midnight. In one of the four tower tops of the main Academy building, two old men were sitting facing each other. Between them, a small table was placed with a chess board on top. The game had yet to start, but both of them were staring at it with utmost attention. “What did you want to talk about, your Majesty?” The black robed old man’s head was filled with black hair with strands of white among them. He did not have any facial hair but his brown eyes filled with wisdom belied his old age. “How…

“Young master!” Isabella barged in and wrapped the ‘sick’ Adrian in a warm hug. “How have you been?” He patted her on the back before breaking the hug. “I am fine but you… *Sniff*” Tears were still rolling down her flushed cheeks. “Don’t worry, girl. You know this is nowhere near enough to kill me.” “But your fingers…” She pointed at his hands. “This.” He brought out his hands. “It’s nothing. There is a solution, they can be reattached. Else, I wouldn’t have…

Fourth floor of the main Academy building- there was a room which was not anything less than a royal dispensary. The room was lavishly decorated. The two windows provided an ample amount of natural light an wind. There was a mid sized red magic circle drawn on the wall, heading the entire room. A young man was lying on the luxurious bed. Beside the bed, a woman was sitting on a chair. Adrian felt soft caresses on his cheeks as he opened his eyes. Though everyone thought he was terribly exhausted, it was…

Two more weeks passed. One more week was left for the first jungle stroll of the year to end. But unbeknownst to the 13 other participants, one of their fellow students was missing. The Principal’s office. She was grinning ear to ear. She was walking to and fro and would occasionally jump. Her dreams- those coming true were now a guarantee. *Knock. Knock* She wiped the grin off her face. However, there was a hint of smile on it. She rushed towards the desk and sat on her chair. “Come in.” The…

Midnight. A humongous room, devoid of any sort of windows, was bright as if it were a day thanks to the dozens of lit torches and lamps. The floor was of marble, the walls were fortified with magical stones. Clearly, this was a place for important people to gather. Albeit, these people belonged to the dark side of the society. And today, they gathered for a simple reason- the auction. There were dozens of small round tables. And at every table sat one person each. Everyone, be it male or female, were…
