The Witch's Deal We travelled for a long time and my drowsiness became greater and greater. It soon became so hard that the only thing keeping me awake was walking. Yet even that became useless. I could feel my eyelids drop as we walked and walked. I could even feel my head bobbing. I clenched my fist into a ball, hoping that the pain of my nails digging into my palm would be enough to keep me  awake. Yet even though it kept me awake, I knew that it would be barely enough. As I continued I could feel the sleepiness becoming even more overwhelming. I soon felt my eyelids drop and my head bobbed like a basketball. I could feel my walking become sloppy and my feet barely left the ground. Then I felt slightly nauseous and cold. I felt myself sweating and as we continued, my sweat increased as my heartbeat became strange and felt light in my chest. I could feel my breathing become deep and steady until it became completely silent. I soon could feel my stomach churning as my nausea becam...

  The True World We flew down and once we reached the bottom, we seemed to float like we were a feather. This gave us enough time to reach out our legs and gently land on our feet. Yet I found that it was a softer landing than the other times I entered this world. I also was fully and completely aware of all that happened too. "That was nicer than Inanis." Commented Johanna. "You're right." "It's probably because Stellam is nicer than Inanis." I concluded. "Now, I think we need to explore this place. After all, I think that this place is not the trap that it was, which must mean that this is the true world of Stellam."  "What are you on about?"  "Wherever people came to this world, it would be a trap. So the world that would be created would be one that encourages that person to stay." "And you were able to leave here?" "I had a reason to leave." I said as I could feel the bitter taste of nostalgia....

  The Self Appointed Mission I woke up early in the morning. Too early, but despite that, my head was clear as I wiped my eyes. I sniffed as I knew that I had been crying in my sleep again. Yet I, for a moment felt afraid that I was still in the labs, being experimented on. I could feel a ghost of the needles that was buried into my skin, making my mind foggy. I knew that, for me, it could only have been several months but I still could not recall all that happened there. I am safe. I am safe. I am safe! I had repeated in my head for so long that it had become second nature. I did not know why I did it nor did I fully understand why in those early hours I did not feel safe. In fact I had combed through all the books in the library, hoping that there was something in there to explain this bizarre behaviour but there was nothing there.  Even though I knew that I should ask Aunt Blue or Uncle Haru, I felt afraid to. I was, for some reason, afraid to tell Aunt Blue all about the ...

  Time Off Loc arrived at the Resting Base. Part of her felt frustrated and the eagerness of going on another mission had by far not died down. When she got out of the van the first thing that she noticed was the strange heat. It had a strange and slight moisture to the air. She started to feel at ease. She was led to a room that was lilac and the covers on the bed had a furry texture to them and the carpet was furry and soft against her skin. She spotted that there was an oblong mirror. She walked to the door that led to a spacious bathroom. It had a turquoise rug in the centre of the room with a bath and shower on the left and a sink and toilet on the right.  Feeling sweaty and dirty, she took a shower. Then she took out a woolly purple top and a pair of white trousers. She was given a pair of trainers and put them on. She then wandered about the place. She soon found a library. She took out a book and spotted a window ledge and sat on it and curled up as she read it. She so...

  Stopped Loc woke up. She looked at the clock. It was five o'clock in the morning. She slipped out of bed and after a shower and putting her clothes on, she made her way to Light Bringer's office. "No." He simply said. "What?" "You're not going on a mission." "Why not?" "I can see that you have not fully regained the strength and energy that you need. Not to mention that it is all too clear that you need to rest. As in properly rest." She opened her mouth. "Do I have to restrain you? After all, the way that you are now, you will need a holiday." "Bit-" "I said no. If you want to do something, then read as many books as you can." "Right." Looks like I'm going to have to get a mission another way. "Remember, don't make me restrain you." "Alright!" She said, pretending to be nonchalant. He got out a sigh. He took her by the wrist and put a cuff on her then he ...

  Breaking Point Loc woke at no earlier than five in the morning. She got up, showered and put her clothes on. She continued to read the book that she started the day before. She looked at the clock and knew that it was too early to ask for a mission. So she just stayed there as she ignored her rumbling stomach as she read. The Serpentine Stars were able to locate the Nameless Emperor but he was far too strong for them. Oh the horror! Their bodies were all put on display for all to see! She noticed that there were smudges and darkened areas. She knew that it was not from age but tears. Whoever wrote this knew these Serpentine Stars. Oh! I wish I would have spent more time with you Ethotaar Searlette. We may have come from two different  worlds but I wish I could have told  you…You have become my world. "Wait, there were others from other worlds here?" She shouted out loud. Oops! She shook her head and then took the book and raced to Light Bringer's office. "Ahhh! Lo...
