After the crowd had stopped cheering and Ren was taken away, Delta met up with James outside of the arena. "Holy cow! I didn't even know you could do something like that; not only standing up to Ren but also managing to replicate an incredibly...
Chapter 22
James, Lydia, and Algon sat frozen as the image disappeared, and then James blasted up. "What are we waiting for?" he cried, already swinging his coat on. "Let's go!" "Hold on." Lydia grabbed his hand. "We can't just race in there without any idea of...
Chapter 19
James led the way over to the infirmary as soon as he and his friends could politely leave the stadium. The building was located on the other end of Rioyda's complex, but luckily it was only a short walk due to how small the school was. When they...
Chapter 18
When they woke up in the morning, the air was still just as hot, but this time they were all boosted by the knowledge that this was the day they would start the matches! "Come on guys! Let's go!" Delta was attempting to pull his teammates out of bed,...

Chapter 8
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? How have we not heard about this Lord Alcyrion before? Your Pure Elementalist teacher should have been all over this guy!" James, Algon, and Lydia were seated outside of the Atherling classroom in the Darkessia, waiting for Delta to...
Chapter 4
James spent the days leading up to the rooming assignments on the grounds around X-Solae, which he learned were the main meeting rooms and dorms for the new students at the Quintessium. From what he could tell, all of the buildings used magic to make...
Chapter 7
History, contrary to James' earlier assumptions, was not a boring subject. He shared the class with Algon and they regularly talked about the things they had gone over that day. Because the amount of history to learn was obscene, being that the...
Chapter 15
As Ren held the lightning sword in his hand, whispers from the audience erupted around the stadium. "That's a spell that's been passed down through their family for generations. He's been training with that sword since he was young!" Delta was aghast....
