headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to push myself and learn atleast fifteen spells this time but unfortunately I was only able to learn four before my head felt like it would split apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C Chaos Spell : Soul Breaking Scythe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Description: Summon an ethereal scythe to deal damage directly to an opponent's

all of those four spells evolved, I still couldn't be happy with this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this all I amount to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to push harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I picked up a high level spell book from the stack of books I'd selected and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C Spell book

information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was excruciating, but I silently endured as the minutes went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eerily cold feeling suddenly pierced through my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around for the source of this uncomfortable feeling and my eyes settled on a shadowy corner in the center of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in a pool of shadows was a single yellow eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively I turned my head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was screaming at me that looking for even a second longer would send my

library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn't normally up around this time but I'd been having trouble sleeping tonight for some reason and I'd grown restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked through the dark empty halls towards the library, my thoughts drifted to my baby girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I went to check on her earlier tonight she felt… different somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she'd matured overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she muttered something about cookies in her sleep and I realized I was probably just overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed her new look as well and I found my baby girl to be even more beautiful than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like she and Exedra finally did the ritual and she got the eyes she wished for though I'm not exactly sure where the black hair came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I opened the door to the castle library I headed directly for the narrative section and began to search for a romance novel I hadn't read yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I found a novel that I hadn't read yet I quickly headed to my favorite spot to read in the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for me at the table by the window was the man who was supposed to be my husband and just the sight of him took my breath away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know how it happened but in the time since I'd last seen him he appeared to have become even more handsome and I almost jumped on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point I realized he was asleep in his chair and before I knew it, I was walking towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told myself I was just going to wake him but.. before I knew it I was lightly stroking his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I memorized every detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of his jawline, the softness of his skin, and the silkiness of his long red hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To me, a more beautiful man did not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without ever even looking at me with any lewd intent, this man had captured my attention thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sleeping so peacefully that I decided to take my book to my room and read there but before I did I wanted to make one selfish choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowly tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and leaned down and softly kissed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lasted for only a second before I hurriedly pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one kiss was enough to send my breathing into a spiral and make my body cry out for more but somehow I held firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With great difficulty, I turned around and left him to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, not before I draped a blanket over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked towards the exit I looked at the book in my hand and shook my head before I headed back to my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew in my heart that instead of reading I was going to spend the night masturbating again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POV : Exedra\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master?\" A voice

with a concerned look in her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bridgette?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes young master that's me, but why are you sleeping in my library?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around at my surroundings and realized I had indeed fallen asleep in the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that I remembered last night's events and remembered what happened in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But how did this blanket get over me?' I knew for sure I didn't grab it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknowingly, my hand went to my lips and I felt a warm feeling spread through my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dismissed Bridgette and informed her I was just studying some spells late and fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply asked me not to overwork myself just because I was healthy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I put all of the books back and left the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked through the halls I was replaying events from the night in my mind over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blessing from the first abyss king, the sudden acquisition of the rare death element and the new spell I acquired left me extremely perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn't even aware I could receive blessings and I wasn't even sure what an abyss king is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no knowledge of it in my memories and I don't think it'd be in any books either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Show me what that blessing does.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C Blessing of Maliketh, The First Abyss King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- + 2,000 all stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Increased affinity with the night and all of its creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Additional buffs in places thick with death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I was pleased with the added strength, I still was curious about the origin behind this new entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see the details of the spell I was given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the information was hiding deep within my subconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew I could use it, and I knew how to I just didn't know what it would do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided for now I wouldn't try to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last thing I wanted was to test it at the training grounds and level the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel it deep within my bones that the spell was terrifyingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of me was excited and looked forward to the future when I might finally get to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- 1 Week later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POV : Lailah\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone know why he called for us like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka : \"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa : \"Sorry, no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira : \"Maybe he has somebody he wants us to kill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I choked slightly when I heard my daughters idea of what her father might be calling us for and I wondered if her getting an affinity stone amplified her violent tendencies. \"Ahem, I don't think that's it Mira.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early this morning, Exedra had called for all of us to meet him in the reception parlor for an unspecified reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We tried to ask mother what it was about but she simply giggled and remarked over how it was nice to be young before walking away, leaving us all confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now we are walking to meet Exedra without knowing quite what is in store for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira put her little hand on her chin and seemingly was thinking very hard about something before she reached another conclusion, \"Maybe he's going to give us cookies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lailah \u002F Bekka \u002F Lisa : \"You just ate breakfast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So?\" Mira turned her head in confusion as if she truly did not understand why we weren't on our way to eat cookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well knowing your father I wouldn't be surprised if he had cookies prepared for you since he knows you're coming.\" I muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep.\" Lisa agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're probably right now that I think about it.\" Bekka said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira's eyes glimmered with excitement before her face broke out in a wide smile and she unfurled her wings from her back. \"Cookies!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a little missile, she took off towards the room at the end of the hall where we were supposed to be meeting her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mira!
