"Let me see how you will bring yourself back to life as you did to Lyra. Goodbye dumb purple head" those words echoed in Lilith's head as her view became blur and she fell slowly to the ground, tasting her own blood. "Nooo!" She heard Andreas shriek in pain before she finally gave into darkness. Immediately she fell, Nex looked around to be sure no one was watching before he ran away, not looking back but facing the direction of the institute and running with out stop. *"What just happened?" Andreas asked himself as he saw Lilith fall to the floor lifeless. And what did he do? He stood there, doing nothing! Absolutely nothing! He badly wanted to separate Nex's head from his body but no matter how he would enjoy that, Nex could not feel him. And the only one who could was at the verge of death. He saw Nex run away from his evil but could do nothing more than to look at him with so much hate. As soon as he was out of sight, he scooped Lilith into his arms with tears dropping slo
*SNEEZE*Lilith flashed her bright purple eyes open. She looked around her to find out she was in her room and alone. 'Where was Andreas?' She asked herself with her eyes rolling around the room. She sat up a bit, supporting her head with her pillow as she rubbed her head a bit, trying to remember what happened but her head really hurt so she just stopped stressing it. She was about to lie back down to get more rest but her plan was cut short by a knock on the door. "Who is there?" She called weakly. "It's me Rain" the person behind the door answered. "I have come to check up on you Lilith, as l said l would and l have something for you too" she said sweetly. On hearing her voice and being sure it was Rain, Lilith stood from her bed and opened the door for her. "Hi" Rain said with a smile as beautiful as the rainbow. "Hi Rain. Come on in" Lilith made way for her to get inside."How are you Lilith?" She asked as she made way to sit on her bed. "I am fine Rain""Are you sure?" R
"Lilith why did you do that?" Andreas asked with wide eyes immediately the kiss was over. "That was wrong, you should not have done that" he said with his face filled with guilt. "No Andreas" Lilith held his hand affectionately. "I was the one who kissed you, you don't have to feel guilty about that. I wanted this and it is because l know l am old enough for that now. l am no longer a child Andreas l am a teenager now and very well matured" she said confidently. "I know you feel like its abuse or whatever you may call it, but l know what l want and you certainly did not abuse me" Without words, Andreas pulled her face closer to his with his both hands and gave her a sweet kiss. Lilith felt numb at the moment, like the whole world froze beneath their feet and the only thing moving was their heads and his hands as he slid it slowly round her waist and pulled her closer. Before the kiss could graduate to other things that were rated 18, he broke it for them to catch their breath
"I think Florate feels the same way you feel about him" Lilith said to Rain immediately they were dismissed from class for lunch. "And why would you think that?" Rain asked as she gulped the water in her water bottle. "I don't know" Lilith shrugged. "You saw what he did today, didn't you? I am sure he made the last message up just so he could save you from sensei's punishment" "Well... I can't say for sure that he made it up but it sure seemed like he did" Rain said as they both walked to the exit, towards the dining hall. "And what if he really did make it up? What if he really did want to save you?" Lilith asked with a sting of excitement in her voice. "Then l guess l owe him a thank you" "Seriously Rain? Do you not see where am heading at? It means that he has eyes for you too" Lilith squealed as they both entered the dining hall. "I won't be so sure about that Lilith till l see him and ask". "Well l guess that time is now" "Wait what?""Look it's Florate" Lilith pointed
"Are you sure of what you speak lord Varnaak?" King Radia asked with his hand creasing his chin. "Very absolute your grace" lord Varnaak bowed. "You are sure that she is a Trivenian?" "Of course my lord" "How were you able to prove so?" "She had ears instead of our symbol which certainly proves that she is not from Gorgor. Also your grace, she was one of their aspirants there at their institute, l mean the ones they train and gift powers to become the protectors of their world" "If you are certain of what you said, l shall believe that she is a Trivenian. But how was she able to see and feel you?" "I have no answers to that your grace. I too have those same questions still unanswered within me" "Do you think my son has anything to do with that?" "I can't say for sure your gracs but one thing is undisputable... " "Which is..." "The Trivenian has a relationship with the prince maybe not the one with romantic steams but l know surely that they share something. But not as t
"I was dead Andreas, how am l alive now". She looked confused and in desperate need of valid answers. Andreas didn't know how to explain things to her. He knew for sure that those memories were not gone, and she will one day recall all that happened but the only thing she got wrong was that she didn't die actually, she only lost to much blood and could have died if not tended to immediately. However it really didn't matter now because the Lilith before him now needed answers and hoped he could give them to her but he was only going to disappoint her because he was definitely not ready to let her know how powerful he was, for her own safety. "Lilith are sure that really happened? I mean that might just be a bad dream you had, it's not real" he said convincingly. "No Andreas" she shook her head sturbbonly. "I am sure it was not a dream. It was real Andreas and it really happened. I can't help but to wonder how come l am alive and well now. What really happened? I need to know. Ca
"This is so cool!" Rain exclaimed with her mouth wide open. They had just entered the simulation room and everything in there felt and looked so real. "If you weren't holding my hand right now Lilith l would say that this is damn real. It is a whole new world! How is this even possible?" She asked not expecting that anyone would give her a good answer as they all looked surprised, except Florate. "I know right!" Lilith added. "Seconds ago, we were just in this big room, and boom! We are in this jungle if l must say""This is totally amazing!" Rain complimented again. "It's not that good Rain" Florate commented with a serious face. “What do you mean it's not that good?" Rain didn't want to sound upset, actually she wasn't but did a bad job in keeping her cool. "I mean it’s just the work of a model that mimics the operation of an existing or proposed system, providing evidence for decision-making by being able to test different scenarios or process changes and this can be coupled w
The team stayed closed, together. They all kept their senses sharp as they watched out for any attacks from Nex and his team. No one had their minds focused on the mission or the test anymore, but they all looked out for anyone who was going to try to maim them or try to injure them as no one of them wished to loose."Sshh stop. I hear something" Edith, the girl from before announced, getting everyone on high alert. "Hahaha" she laughed loudly, with her hand on her stomach. "You all should have seen your faces, you all looked hilarious. Hahaha" she kept laughing at her own joke. It took the rest of the team a while to realize that it was a trick and nothing more. She only pulled a trick on them all to laugh herself out."That was not funny Edith" Linthorn frowned at her. "Do not do that again, else l will be the one to harm you myself " Lyra threatened."No need to be rude Lyra" Edith frowned at her, "lt was just a joke, you don't have to threaten me because of it"."You think so E
" First, Rain against Linthorn then Lilith against Florate, Lyra against Steve, Nex against Dodge, Shevan against..." "Combating each other?" Lilith scoffed "What a wonderful way to congratulate us for making it to the final level". "Why are you so irritated Lilith" Florate's voice sounded a lot deeper than it was four years ago. He was now even taller with broader chest and shoulders and he looked very handsome as well. He had his muscled arm hung over Rain's shoulder and it seemed to be weighing her down but she didn't complain. "Are you scared that I will beat you" he smirked at her. "Oh please" she snorts. "Get over yourself Florate. How about you try the other way around". "Oh my, I am so scared" he mocked. "Just you wait, when it's the both of us within that circle l will make sure your tall body falls to the floor in the most painful way" he clenched his fists, with his green orbs glaring directly at her purple eyes and giving it a message he was very sure she could unders
She followed the sound of the voices and found the people speaking. They stood close to the great Saphire fountain and talked loudly like they were sure they were not being heard. She drew closer and it seemed like they were in a heated argument but she still couldn't see their faces because it was dark and the lights around were not bright enough but just to make sure the school does not run out of colors during night time. "Hey!" she called to them when she got close enough that they could hear her. "What are you guys doing out here and why are you disturbing the peace of the school?" she asked boldly but received no reply except that one of them opted to walk closer to her but the other held him back. "She must be sleep walking" he stated but it was clear in the sound of his voice that he was lying. "Don't cause a scene" he warned. Wait! That voice, she knew it very well. "Andreas? Is that really you?" she called hoping it was really him but that seemed like it was a really
Lilith had been staring at her own reflection in the mirror for quite some time now. She had retired to her room since early that evening only to find it empty till now. Andreas was no where to be found and she was starting to get worried. She had even skipped dinner just to wait for him but he was out of sight. "Where could he be?" she wondered with her eyes still focused on her reflection. She wasn't really looking at any thing in particular, nor was she admiring herself. She was only too bored and settled to look at herself. "OK that's it". She gave up on looking at herself in the mirror and stood up from where she sat. She walked to her window and looked outside to behold the beautiful night sky, so peaceful. She rolled her eyes round the serene environment to find that it wasn't so peaceful anyway. She spotted about three people down the training arena which was totally normal because every time here was training time. The grounds and training equipments were open to a
"Where is she?" "I have not seen her since after the class" Lilith sighed. It was Rain. She had left them abruptly after the class and has been out of sight since. They suppose it must be because of the discovery they made earlier during the class, concerning their dominant emotions. It was not weird that she was spacing out afterall, her dominant emotion was the only disturbing one. Lilith's was love, Lyra's was appreciation of beauty, Linthorn's was interest, Steve's was amusement, Nex's was desire and Florate's was admiration. It was really awkward that her's was fear and maybe she decided to space out a bit she must be in a very bad mood now. But what could she be afraid of? "l will go see if she is in her room" Florate suggested before leaving Lilith who simply nodded at what he said. "Oh and..." he stopped and turned to her. "Yes?" she raised a brow. "When l return with Rain in a better mood, prepare to tell us the reason why love is your dominant emotion, l am quite sure
"l cannot believe l am sharing a class with him" Lilith looked at Nex with disgust written all over her face. Out of the two hundred and sixteen level one aspirants that took the test of courage, seven of them passed with distinction and fifty six others passed with credits making it a total of sixty three level two aspirants. Lilith and her team members got the half bar reward they were promised and it indeed made them top aspirants now. Hence, they were put under the care of one sensei, sensei Helia including Nex who passed with distinction as well while the others were shared fourteen aspirants under each sensei.Throughout their first class, Lilith, Rain and Florate felt so uneasy having Nexine there with them. They were not comfortable at all with his presence and their reasons were totally understandable, judging from what happened at the test, who knows, he might do what is worst now."Me neither" Rain concurred. "l feel this shadow of thread tying my whole being whenever l l
"l am very proud of you". Andreas stroked Lilith's loose hair as he spoke. "l had no doubts you would pass the test with distinctions". "Yes l passed the test of courage but..." she looked up at him to meet his eyes. "But what?" he asked her as he cupped her face. Even though it was dark, the light of the moon that had it's way through the window into her room illuminated it, making him able to see her face clearly. "lt's my emotions" she breathed. "What about them?" " l made an 'A' in all other bars but got a 'B' in my emotional mastery". She looked away from him disappointed at her own self. "And why is that?" he traced her jaw line as he spoke. "lt's Nexine". At the mention of his name, Andrea's face turned sour. "What mayhem did he cause this time?" "He had abducted Rain during the test and l have no idea why but l honestly believed it was because of me so l felt this hurt within me that Rain was in danger because of me. I lost hold of my emotions, believing l brought th
"Linthorn?" Florate called as he could not spot him any where. He just wanted to make sure they were successful and he really hoped they were because having Nex win was not something he was going to enjoy. "Lyra? Steve?" he called again but no answer. He looked at Nex and saw that he too was searching for his so called trusted teammates but at least he found them, they where lying on the floor like the other maimed ones. But where were his team. He glanced at Rain and Lilith and found out through the look on their faces that they too had the same thoughts, where were they?. Before he could talk to them about it, a door they didn't even know existed opened at the north wall of the room and Linthorn, Lyra and Steve walked out of it. " Guys!..." Linthorn called out in joy but was shut up by the next loud voice they heard which was surely the grand sensei's. Sense Velskud. "Congratulations to you seven. I now pronounce you level two aspirants of Triven. You have all past the t
Florate? He is here! She squealed within her in joy but didn't make her loose gaurd. Nex was distracted, she could feel it and now the right time to attack! She fluttered her eyes open and as fast as she could act, pulled Nex's head down to hers and gave him a hard head bump. She didn't wait for him to yelp in pain before she gave him a hard kick which brought him down on his back and she did not hesitate to get on top of him and began raining on him a very hard punches upon punches. He was still receiving the blows before Shevan came to his aid, though a bit too late but he really needed the save. "Rain watch out!" Lilith yelled from where she stood before she made to help her out but Rain didn't seem like someone who needed help in handling the situation. She was pulled off Nex by Shevan but she gave him a hard elbow blow on stomach and as he cowered in pain, she hit his head hard against a tree beside him which made him drop on the floor. "Rain are you alright" Lilith
Rain was reganing consciousness bit by bit. She was not fully aware of what was going on around her at the moment but she could tell she was in someone's arms. Florate? No his scent was different and so were his clothes. Florate's gi was green but the one who was carrying her now was in a black gi. She tried to look up to his face but the sun blinded her eyes however, she managed to catch a glimpse of his hair. White! This was definitely not Florate, where was he?' Did he leave her? she asked herself with worry. She was still down with the thoughts before what should have been her priority at the moment clicked in her head.' Who was carrying her? She asked herself. White hair? Black gi? Now who wears a black gi and has a white hair?' she thought quickly within her before finding her answer :Nex! What on Omania would he want from her? Or was he planning on killing her instead of maiming her? Whichever it was, she has to find out first before acting because jumping out of his hand
