Chapter 864: The sun had gone
Connor looked up at the sky and felt a little bit lose when he watched how the already blackened sky became even darker for the last two days.
It had been a full week that the light from the sun failed to penetrate the gloomy clouds that were hanging low in the sky.
People couldn't possibly guess whether it was day or night and this situation left all the people restless. They didn't know what happened and the government still had yet to release a statement regarding this phenomena.
The people, who liked conspiracy theories, would say this was the end of the world and they would never see the sun again, but some of them would refuse the idea, too afraid even to think about it.
A few months ago, if someone said that they would never see the sun for a long time and the day would turn into night, no one would have believed it and would ultimately laugh at it.
However now, even the theory of the end of the world sounded reliable.
Connor sighed and lowered his head. He didn't feel like he wanted to go to see Casey. They had been having an endless argumentation for a few days about something that they didn't even know about precisely and she had been acting strange recently.

"Brother, are you sure, you will ignore the summons from the Alpha?" Stephan looked at the gloomy turned day worriedly. This was not something within his wildest imaginations. The war was truly coming…
"No," Reynolds said, he was still adamant to stay in his castle. He wouldn't move an inch if he didn't get what he wanted.
There was no point of them to go through the war, their kind would go extinct anyway if they didn't get their female back and alive.
It sounded weird, but it was important for Reynold to keep the earth dragon shifter lineage from not stopping with his generation.
But neither Torak nor Lucifer, seemed to give what he wanted.

Lilac smirked when she watched the city from afar.
From where she was standing now, she could feel the life beyond the wall.
The guardian angel saw the east castle, which was the highest building among the others with sky risedtowers and that was her aim.
Lilac closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had never done a massive destruction before, but she knew that she had been suppressing her power all this time and she would be able to achieve more if she was given an opportunity.
Sadly, in the past, she wouldn't be able to do what she was about to do now.
Therefore, Lilac was thrilled to unleash her power. She wondered whether this would work or not, but whatever the result was, at the very least, she knew that she tried her best.
"My queen, what are you going to do?" Sybil asked her in confusion. She didn't have any idea what Lilac would do from here.
"What is your element?" Lilac asked. Normally, every witch had a different element, which they would advance in controlling and it would affect their magic as well.
Like Serefina, she was attributed with fire.
"Water, my queen," she answered respectfully.
"Good," Lilac said. "I want you to create rain above the city now."
Sybil looked hesitant. "The city is too far and my spells would be blocked by their barrier." But then she added. "But I will try."
Afterward, the witch looked heavenward and concentrated for a little bit longer until a layer of perspiration appeared on her forehead.
After that, they could see the sky turning even murkier and the dark clouds gathered above the city, creating ripple after ripple of lightning.
"It will only last for three minutes or less, my queen," Sybil said and the water lashed out on the city along with thunders, creating a storm over the city.
"That's enough," Lilac said, satisfied when she felt the people in the city running around, looking for shelter.
Afterward, Lilac knelt and placed her palms on the surface of the ground, she looked straight at the arrogant wall that protected the witches in the eastern region.

Hope was a little bit worried when she managed to walk on the surface of this frozen river and stood right in front of the dwarf.
Nutdrouk's height only reached her waist, thus she had to lower her head to look at him. "Now what should I do?" Hope asked anxiously she didn't want to stay in this place longer. What if the layer of the ice cracked all of a sudden and something bad happened?
"I want you to concentrate and listen to what the voice that you could hear trying to tell you," the dwarf said in a strict tone, as if he was a teacher who was telling his student to study hard.
Hope followed what he said and closed her eyes in order to concentrate more, but after a full ten minutes, she opened her eyes and looked at Nutdrouk disastrously. "I can't…" she said softly.
"Concentrate more," Nutdrouk said, demanding. "You will be able to catch what it was saying if you can connect to it."
Hope frowned. "What should I connect with? What is this voice from? You know what it is?"
"You will know once you hear the voice clearly," Nutdrouk said, shaking his head like a rattle drum, as he demanded for Hope to concentrate more. "Don't think too much and just let all of your senses guide you."
"You don't make any sense," Hope grumbled, but she gave another try.
This time, she tried to listen to the wind, feeling the coldness in the air that bit her bare skin and, of course, the murmuring voice.
She tried to let herself sunk into this flurry voice.
It came from beneath, from under this frozen river and echoed through the stream of the water beneath it.
Therefore, Hope knelt down carefully and put her palms on the icy surface to support her body when she bent over to place her ears closer to the source of the sound.
