Chapter 14 - Jade first academy's mission

After the unsettling dream, Jade woke up in a cold sweat, his heart racing with fear and confusion. It was clear to him that the dream had been a warning of some kind, but he couldn't shake the feeling of dread that lingered in his mind. Also the powerful and ancient voice that tried to calm him down, end up only agitating him after a few moments jade finally calm his nerves down, then decide to speak with the voice in his head. The voice later introduce itself to be the voice of the legendary jade dragon.

Determined to uncover the truth behind the dream, Jade sought out the advice of the jade dragon. He recounted the details of his dream to the ancient creature, hoping that it would shed some light on the mysterious beings that had attacked him.

To his surprise, the jade dragon was able to provide some insight into the nature of the dream. It explained that the beings he had encountered were malevolent spirits that dwelled in the dark corners of the dream realm, feeding off fear and despair. They were known as the Shadow Wraiths, ancient and powerful entities that sought to torment and manipulate unsuspecting dreamers.

The jade dragon warned Jade to be vigilant and cautious in his dealings with the Shadow Wraiths, as their dark influence could have dire consequences if left unchecked. Armed with this newfound knowledge, Jade made a pact with the jade dragon to assist him in uncovering the truth behind the Shadow Wraiths and their true intentions.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Jade set out to fulfill his first academy mission: to aid the deacon in recruiting new disciples for the Infernal Star Academy. The deacon, a wise and respected member of the academy, had tasked Jade with finding promising young mages and bringing them to the academy to further their training in the magical arts.

As he ventured into the nearby town to seek out potential recruits, Jade marveled at the bustling streets and colorful marketplaces that lined the cobblestone roads. Along the way, he encountered a group of street performers who dazzled the crowds with their spells and illusions, their magic drawing cheers and applause from the onlookers.

Inspired by their display of magical talent, Jade approached the performers and struck up a conversation with the leader, a young mage named Lyra. Intrigued by Jade's offer to join the prestigious Infernal Star Academy, Lyra eagerly accepted, eager to hone her skills and learn from the best in the magical world.

With Lyra by his side, Jade continued his search for new disciples, traversing the town and seeking out those with potential and a thirst for knowledge. One by one, he recruited a diverse group of young mages, each with their own unique talents and abilities that would enrich the academy's ranks.

As the sun began to set on the horizon, Jade returned to the academy with his newfound recruits in tow, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The deacon applauded Jade for his success in fulfilling the mission, praising him for his dedication and resourcefulness in bringing together such a talented group of individuals.

Together, Jade and his new group of disciples stood before the deacon, ready to embark on their journey of learning and discovery at the Infernal Star Academy. The deacon, with a wise and knowing smile, welcomed them with open arms and shared his vision of shaping them into powerful mages who would uphold the values of the academy and protect the realm from dark forces.

After bringing the new recruit to the academy. One night, as Jade sat alone in his chambers, a strange chill enveloped the room, sending shivers down his spine. The air grew thick with an ominous presence, and a faint whisper echoed in the darkness, stirring a sense of dread within him. Suddenly, a shadowy figure materialized before him, its eyes glowing with malevolence as it reached out towards him.

Jade instinctively summoned his magical powers, a bright light emanating from his outstretched hand to banish the dark entity. With a final burst of energy, the shadowy figure dissipated into nothingness, leaving behind a lingering sense of foreboding in its wake.

As Jade caught his breath and regained his composure, he knew that the Shadow Wraiths had not forgotten about him.

They continued to haunt his dreams and now, it seemed, they were trying to manifest themselves in the waking world. Determined to confront this new threat head-on, Jade made a vow to protect himself and his fellow disciples from the malevolent spirits that sought to harm them.

With the support of his newfound allies and the guidance of the jade dragon, Jade delved deeper into the mysteries of the Shadow Wraiths, seeking to uncover their true intentions and find a way to defeat them once and for all. As he embarked on this perilous journey, he knew that the path ahead would be fraught with danger and uncertainty, but he also knew that he had the strength and courage to face whatever challenges awaited him.

As Jade stood on the brink of a new and formidable adventure, he felt a sense of determination and resolve filling his heart. He knew that the road ahead would be long and arduous, but he also knew that he was not alone. With his friends by his side and the power of magic coursing through his veins, Jade was ready to face whatever darkness lay in his path and emerge victorious.
