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
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
"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
"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
"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
"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
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
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
Florate just had to let the tears fall. She was right. Her quiting the match even though it was worth it would make her to repeat a the previous level. Her stats would be brought down and she would join the current level seven aspirants and train better to get to her original level although that would be when her mates must have graduated. That was the main reason why he had Lilith get him disqualified instead of just quitting. Also, she was also right with the point that none of them would want that. In as much as they wanted her to leave the match, having her become reduced by a level won't be nice at all. So she did well by bearing the pain and he was so proud of her right now. "But I did it right?" she continued. "I got a point at least, didn't I?" "Although the sensei saved the results for later. As you both were injured but left for me, I can proudly say that my girlfriend was incredible. I am so proud of you Rain" he kissed her hair again. “I am so proud that you are mine
"Nanny Adelaide!" Florate screamed, obviously perplexed about Lilith's condition. "Nanny Adelaide!" He kept calling his nanny immediately he enter the main doors of the clinic and couldn't stop yelling till he found her. She was not attending to anyone, so she was free and walked around to check how the others were doing. She was startled clearly with the way he was screaming her name but before she could ask why, she noticed he was carrying a lifeless girl in his arms. "Oh my goodness!" she gasped before running towards him immediately while he too ran to meet her. “Thelma?" she called a nurse she had been walking around with. "Yes nurse Adelaide" "Get a stretcher immediately!" At her order, the young nurse left to do as she was told. "Nanny..." Florate found it hard to explain when he got close to his nanny he was already out of breath to. "What is it Florate? Tell me! What happened to her?" "Nanny this is my friend Lilith. I don't know, I just found her like
"Hey Nex!"Nex had beaten Dodge in their match against each other. He beat him both judging from the match and judging from their stats. It was not a surprise to anyone, Nex was strong, muscled and agile. He could easily over power his opponent if the person was not very resourceful as Dodge was not. He was strong too but Nex was always a step ahead of him during the match and that granted him victory.He had just received his handshake from his most proud father, not like he (Nex) cared and was now heading back to his room before he heard some one yell his name. He turned back to see who it was and he was not surprised at all."What do you want Florate?" he asked with a relaxed and calm voice. He looked like he did not know why Florate had to stop him and also pretended they were just casual people who stopped each other on the way to say one or two things."And why would I ever want anything from you Nexine?" he retorted, returning an angry frown for the calm expression on his face
"What has every one on Omania got to do with bringing light back to Gorgor?" Lilith furrowed in confusion. "Everything Lilith. Everything. Once light is restored to Gorgor, We will be free from the abyss Triven put us in and we will finally spot our location in the galaxy and you know what that means?" She shook her head, still not comprehending what she was trying to say. "It means that the door has been made open for my father to take his revenge on all of Omania especially Triven. And trust me Lilith when I say that with the height of the rage burning within him, it would be a death sentence for you all and sweet revenge for him. So no. I won't tell you how to restore light to Gorgor, for the sake of greater good" he said sadly. "Is there no other way to relieve you of the darkness?" she asked again, not really hoping to hear something good but she had to ask. "There is no other way Lilith". "Then we shall go with the first" she blurted making him almost believe she w
"It means I might kill you if I try to go beyond the kisses. You might die Lilith". "What do you mean by that? I will die? Why?" She looked a bit scared. "Listen" he held her both hands as he spoke "I once told you that i am not really here, that l am still stuck in a star with the rest of my world". "Yes" she nodded. "But I can see and feel you". "That is only because you have me in here" he touch her head like he did the first time they met. "I am confused Andreas. If you are in my head, then why can I feel your touch, inhale your scent, hear your breaths, Just why? And why will I die if you try to touch me?" she had lots of questions going on in her head right now and she needed reasonable answers to them all. "You only have those feelings around me Lilith because you welcomed me into your head. You made my story your favorite story because you loved me. I have always felt this attraction towards you since you were born and I remained stuck in your shadow till I found th
"Is that really a necessary question Florate? Well if you must know, I am here to see my girlfriend, Rain". "Your girlfriend?" Florate was now loosing his cool. "Let me remind you Nexine incase you are having some kind of memory loss, sight loss or brain issues. That girl lying on that bed" he pointed at the bed where Rain lay "is Rain Flake, my girlfriend. So you better get yourself out of here before I make you leave myself" he clenched his fists. "Don't be ridiculous Florate" he scoffed. "We both know that Rain truly loves me and not you. She has eyes only for me. She is only with you because I allowed her to be. But now, I want her all to myself so just drop whatever moronic claim you have on her because she is mine! Isn't that right Rain love?" he touched her cheeks as he spoke which got Florate really fired up. He had purposely got himself disqualified with Lilith's help only so he could get the chance to see Rain, to be with her. But now this idiotic Nexine is here! Claimi
"What about it?" "I felt this shock when I touched it. Does it hurt?" she asked with much concern. He kissed her jaw before answering her question. "No" he said with the most sexiest voice she has ever heard. "Then why did I feel that jolt?" "I guess we should stop here" he let his hands fall from her body, placing them by his sides and waiting for her to stand from him but it did not seem like she was in any mood to. "Stop here? Why? What did the jolt mean?" she asked again. "Trust me Lilith you don't want to know" he said simply still waiting for her to get up but she wouldn't yield. She rather drew closer to him and touched it again. "Ouch!" she flung her hand. "The tension just increased. What is going on? Are you alright?" "Lilith don't push me" he said lightly as if pleading to her. "Don't push you to what Andreas? I am not scared" she widened her eyes. "Tell me what the problem is? Why is your mark electrocuting me?" "You are not ready for that yet Lilith" he
"Congratulations Lilith" Lilith was cheered by many other rangers and sensei's as she stepped down the stairs after she got a handshake from the grand sensei. “Thank you" she faked a smile. To be honest, she really did not feel good about this winning. She knew she did not deserve it, she did not even do any thing, Florate just let her win only so he could see Rain. She wondered if she was ok. She tapped her bracelet to view her stats and was indeed pleased with what she saw even though she wasn't sure how she earned them. Lilith Amnell, LEVEL 8: Responsibility: 100%, exceptional self-defense skills 96% attack skills 100% emotional mastery 78% respect 99% honor 99% discipline 100% courage 95% strength 89% empathy 100% speed 85% counter attacks 78%. However, the smile on her face changed to a frown when she remembered that Florate's stats would be drained seriously after the disqualification. 'Oh my' she slapped her face, looking sad. What was she doing here anyway, she should go
Lilith gave it a quick thought…But why would she do that. That was going to drain his stats big time, did he not care? She stood up immediately and glanced at the timer. They still had three whole minutes and two seconds till the end of the match. She looked directly into his green orbs and shook her head slightly at him. He understood what she meant immediately. She finally got his message and wasn't willing to do it. "Please" he whispered to her and with a sour face, she nodded. She really had no choice, he was begging this of her and she had to fulfill it as a good friend. She took deep breathes through her mouth before running towards him with a grievous attack, the knee kick. She raised herself from the floor with all strength in her and hit him hard on the jaw with her two knees, one after the other making him stagger backwards and almost out of the circle. He would have just stepped out but deliberately leaving the circle would get the both of them disqualified and he did
