Upon reaching the Magic Department’s Dormitory, Dorin, Sebastian, Professor Dupont and a still unconscious Johan got off the truck and waved at Gen. Muller and Margarette in front.
“I’ll see you tomorrow at lunch time!” Mar called back as the truck went on its way.
“We’ll try to call!” Dorin shouted after them.
[I still don’t know where my cell phone is] wrote Seb. [I think perhaps someone stole it.]
“Well, we can borrow someone else’s phone.” said Dorin.
“Lost your cell phone?” Professor Dupont asked.
[Yes.] Seb told the professor, [They found our bags, and the cameras were ok, but my cell phone was nowhere in sight.]
“Do you mind?” asked Dupont, shifting Johan’s weight on his shoulder. “Help me take Johan to his room first...” he said with a grunt.
They brought Johan to the second floor, where the general dormitory rooms were located. Here, as many as 50 students stay in bunk beds inside a large room. Johan’s bed was
One Way talk... Yeah... the first spells I'd do if I suddenly get magic, would be against bullies and bullying... What would be yours?
Johan was late for kitchen duty the next morning. Seb and Dorin were already placing their 1st batch of meat pies on the oven when he came running into the kitchen. "Well, look who decided to join us!" Mrs. Cooper teased him. "Sorry..." mumbled Johan, "I've never over-slept before..." "Well, hurry up and help with the baking," said the head cook as she kneaded more dough for her pies. "Did you sleep well?" Dorin asked him with a friendly grin. "Yeah..." Johan replied absentmindedly. "...for some reason..." his voice trailed off. Dorin and Seb exchanged knowing glances. The three had their first diagnostic test after their kitchen duty. Later, the three of them were called to the Dorm Head's office. Ms. Ermingard was waiting for them inside, holding a big ring of keys and a thick ledger. "Ignacius, Revious, Silvius, huh..." she said as she checked the ledger. "Congratulations, as of today, you three will be transferred to the Sp
“Dorin, I think you need to open that tap...” “Which one?” “The one with the red dot?” “Okay... there... did the water get hot?” “Not yet... Maybe we still need to heat it?” “I’ll try closing the blue tap... there? Any better?” “I think... yeah, that’s it! It’s getting warmer...” “Good, I’ll just heat it a bit more!” “Wait Johan, what if you blow the tub up?” “Don’t worry, I’ll go slow, besides, that blasted professor blocked most of my heat, I could hardly make a fireball now...” The door to the bathroom opened, in came a sleepy looking Sebastian. “Oh, Seb! We’re taking a bath, wanna join us?” Seb had difficulty keeping his eyes open. He sees Dorin and Johan inside the bath tub, both their bodies showing their holding charms. They were squatting at opposite ends and were inviting him to sit in the middle. “Hey, I think he’s sleep walking...” Johan stared at Seb.
The three left their room, leaving a sad looking Azra behind. Seb got his old black turtle neck and long coat on, while his companions both wore ordinary t-shirts and pants. “We’ll be back soon!” Dorin said white patting Azra’s shoulder. [Don’t let anyone inside, we left food on the table and in the fridge and in the cupboard] Seb fussed, [If someone knocks, just pretend that there’s nobody in the room] “We better hurry,” Johan rushed down the stairwell, “Mrs. Cooper don’t like tardiness.” “Should we use a translocation spell?” Dorin looked at Seb. [No indiscriminate use of magic] the other wrote. “Well, better make a run for it then,” Johan said as he sprinted across the 5th floor hallway. Just as he made a turn towards the main staircase, a group of 4 students suddenly stepped into view, blocking his way. Johan was about to collide with the person in front when a blast of cold wind almost blew him away. “Wh
Johan, Dorin and Sebastian rushed inside the canteen. Seb fell on the nearest chair, trying to catch his breath. Mrs. Cooper stepped out of the kitchen to great them, her arms across her wide chest. “What took you three so long?” she asked her part-timers. “You should have been here ten minutes ago!” “Sorry, Mrs. Cooper, some students blocked our way...” [We had a little conversation with some students.] Seb showed the cook. “What ever,” Mrs. Cooper started to go back into her kitchen. “Now hurry up and get in here.” “So, what’s on the menu?” asked Dorin. “Beans, blueberry muffins, eggs Benedict, ham, bacon, sausages... same old Wednesday morning menu...” Mrs. Cooper answered absentmindedly. “I’ll be on the grill,” said Johan, donning on an apron. Later, the students started entering the cafeteria. Seb and Dorin went out front to serve the food. The line soon reached the entryway. There, Dorin met their f
The three made their way back to the dormitory after their second diagnostic test. Dorin and Seb looked okay, but Johan seemed a little depressed. “Had problem with the written exam?” Dorin asked him. “They said I might need to take a basic language course,” he grumbled. “Me, I need to be updated with the current events...” said Dorin, “How about you, Seb?” [I was told to tutor the two of you] wrote their roommate. [Anyway, I thought of a way to get Azra to stay in the dorm,] he continued, [We need to register her as a familiar, that way I can keep her in the boy’s dormitory.] “What’s a familiar?” asked Johan. “They are magical animals or creatures that can help a mage to do magic,” explained Dorin. “There used to be a lot of magical familiars like Azra before,” he added, “But because of some circumstances, they don’t make contracts with humans anymore.” Seb stared at Dorin. He didn’t think that Dorin knew this much about familiars.
“Where did you find a caladrius? Was it a summon? Or a purchase?” “What purchase?” Dorin asked wide-eyed. “Can I see it? Is it true that their eyes are blind?” Xander continued excitedly. [I plan to take her to the registrar’s later, but wish to inform you first.] Seb continued, ignoring Xander’s questions. “Well,” the dorm head said, “This is all so sudden... we haven’t had a magical beast as a familiar for more than 40 years now...” she paused. “May I ask where you got the caladrius?” [We met in the dark forest] he wrote. [It must have followed me here, she suddenly appeared in our room last night] “How do you know it’s a female?” asked Mordecai who was also back in the room. [I call all animals ‘she’ if I can’t tell their gender] Seb excused. “I would very much like to see her myself.” said Ms. Ermingard, looking excited. [Well, if you insist.] Seb replied. He faced Dorin who looked back
[Azra, we’re taking you to the registrar’s office to get a familiar’s license.] “A familiar license?” Azra looked at him with her head tilted, “Am I a familiar now?” [No, since we haven’t created a pact, but it’s the only way for them to let you stay here with me.] wrote Seb. “I can stay?” Azra looked happy. “Can I come with you?” [Yes, but please stay in your bird form] Upon hearing this, Azra hops on Seb’s shoulder in her bird form. “Should we go straight to the registrar’s office?” Dorin asked Seb. He had just arrived with Johan from the kitchens. [I messaged Professor Dupont, we’ll meet him in front of the dorms.] Seb went inside the room and came back wearing a cloak with a hood on. His head bulged since the caladrius was under the hood as well. [Let’s go.] “Yeah, good luck.” Johan called out to them. Dorin stopped in his tracks. “You’re not coming?” He asked the fire mage who comfortably slouched in front
Dorin stood by the doorway with nothing better to do. He looked around and noticed a window at the end of the hall. He walked to the window and stared outside. The leaves in the trees are starting to change color. Back in Monarch forest, the trees start to change color in October. Isn’t it still August? “Well, it will be September next week,” thought Dorin, “but still, there’s a whole month of difference in the two places.” He stretched out his hand to reach a sunbeam. It was starting to get a bit chilly. Or perhaps it never really gets warm here? He was still pondering about the weather when he felt a tap on his shoulder. “There you are,” Said professor Dupont. “I was wondering where you went off to.” Behind the professor stood a blond woman who was staring at Dorin with a frown. “I know you!” She suddenly pointed at Dorin. “You’re that kid who was riding on that branch back in the highway!” Dorin stared back then brightened up. “And you’re t
Thank you so much for reading thus far! Dorin and the rest of the gang will be back in Phasma Phase 5 :D . The faces in the dark have all been unmasked, and the secretive Erian aka Elazar Ravante the Silver Tongue has gone to gods know where. Dorin, on the other hand, is much too busy having fun in the university to bother about such things. After all, there's so much he wants to learrn, even when he gets stuck inside the walled city during summer while his friends go home to visit their families. But would he be stuck for good until he finally graduates? Join Dorin and his friends in their adventures, as the missing keys are found one after the other, leading to the road back to paradise in Phasma Phase 5. . Thank you all for reading Phasma! . This is where our book ends. Thank you for all the support you have shown me so far! . Farewell, `till we see again, this had been your author, Psynoid Al signing out :D I hope you will continue to support me by visiting my k
It is true that it is hard to believe the words of a person who have betrayed you. But someone was ready to believe everything about Elazar, even if he was so against ‘her’ when she was still Eirian.[How I wish I had a chance to talk to Elazar before he disappeared!] Sebastian wrote to Dorin when they got back to the dorms one day. [If I only knew he was my ancestor, I would have asked him hundreds of questions about being a silver tongue!]“Question is, would he have answered your questions truthfully?” Johan said after reading his slate. “
News of a terrorist that infiltrated the University spread the next day. The name of the people involved and details of the actual event were withheld from the public due to security reasons, but almost all students in school already knew that it was about Dorin and his friend.“Wait, what was the name of his friend again?” they asked each other. “The real pretty one who had a different hair and eye color each day?”“I think it was Ariel?”“No, wasn’t it Ellen?”
Blinding light surrounded Eirian, as well as thick smoke as the lightning found it’s target.“Did we get her?!” asked Johan who stood on top of a raised dais made of bedrock. He raised himself just in time to evade Dorin’s lightning. “I... I think so...” said Xander who was trying to see through the dust and smoke.“Wind!” Venet called, blowing the smoke and debris away. “How annoying.” They saw Eirian climbing out of a thick glass bauble. “Are you really that vehement to stay here, Dorin?” “That’s right Eirian, and it’s not like I could leave, anyway,” replied Dorin. “Didn’t mother tell you that I can’t leave without graduating first?”“Psh,” she snorted. “That would be easy. I could just tell the Dean to give you a diploma. Problem solved. No need to wait for years just for senile old men to decide if you’re good enough to pass.”“I don’t want that, Eirian. I want to learn.” “I can teach you everything they know, and more.” “Yet you would only show me what you want me to see.”
“Fools! Do you honestly think that you could put one ever me?!” Eirian said with a haughty laugh. “On me, who have lived all these years without being commanded or controlled by any other being?! I have waited millennia just for this chance to come, and now that it’s here, do you really think I would just let insects like you foil my plans?” ‘What does she mean by that?’ thought Benette who held Dagon tightly in his arms. ‘Just who is she? And how old is she supposed to be?’“E-Eirian... you promised!” Dorin said as he crouched on the ground, trying to push himself
Johan gasped when Dagon fell unconscious in his arms, the remainder of a half eaten chocolate bar, falling to the ground. “What did you do to-” “Stop.” The force of command in Eirian’s voice made everyone’s body quiver. No one moved. No one could even breath. “You think a mere dragon child would be enough to stop me?” Eirian said with amused laughter. “Now listen to me,” she said, only then did the people around her take a gasp of breath. “No one tells me what to do. I give all the commands here, and you will simply o-” She was surprised when Johan suddenly struck his hand out towards her. She tried to jump back, but wasn’t quick enough. The fire mage quickly grabbed her mouth and covered it with a rough, calloused hand. “Got you, you bitch,” he snarled with Dagon dangling on his left arm, still sleeping. “You think your tricks can work on me? I’m used to dealing with double crossing bastards like you, and I’ve got experience!” He looked back as someone touched his shoul
Benette concentrated on the quivering body in front of him. He knew that as long as there was still warmth, as long as there was a spark of life in the cells within a body, that he could spread that life to create something new. When he was younger, he didn’t know how to heal, he simply knew that a living thing should live, and so wished it. It was so simple and obvious that he just knew that is should be. Just like how the lungs keep on breathing and the stomach digesting and the heart beating. Now that he is older and more knowledgeable of the parts and functions of a living organism
The first time Patrice Francoise Benette used his healing powers was when he was four years old.Coming from a strict, military family, his parents both demanded absolute obedience to rules and utmost respect to the highest authority, which was his father. As soon as he learned to talk, he was taught to call the Benette patriarch ‘Sir’, and told to act accordingly in a disciplined manner. Toys were limited to practical educational materials.
Chapter 112- I Admit Defeat ‘Is that the best you can do?’ Mordecai’s voice taunted Dorin in his mind. ‘I’ve already seen all your attacks, may it be wind, water, fire, earth, and lightning. So what else can you do?’ Dorin didn’t answer. He tried his best to chase and hit the medic, but none of his attacks can seem to touch him. He wanted to release everything, drown in the power of his lightning as before... ‘As before?’ His opponent was a powerful mage from the capital, He didn’t need to worry about holding back or a possible overkill. He can just have some fun again. ‘Again?’ He looked up at the sky and called to the darkness, calling pillars of thunder down upon Mordecai. Still, the attacks didn’t work. ‘Still not good enough.’ Mordecai laughed inside his head. ‘Useless. Should I proclaim myself as the winner now?’ Dorin’s eyes shone golden. He no longer cared what happened before or here after. ‘Not yet.’ he entered Mordecai’s mind. And he had a feeling as well that
