"No! No! No! This won't do. I really I can't. I hate injections since childhood. Much more being pricked by a thousand needles all over my body. I really can't do it."
Audrey said as she hugged herself.
[So do I. I don't want to be a porcupine nor a pincushion!]
[Little lass, I suddenly missed Charmy. That baby dragon must be feeling lonely being left alone inside the storage ring right now. Let me accompany her instead.]
"Nope. You stay here. Let's be a porcupine or a pincushion together."
Knowing that her cat was trying to ditch her on crucial time like this, Audrey did not allow Nero t get back inside the storage ring.
Let's brave the hardship together.. BWAHAHAHAH

Meanwhile, inhaling deeply, the rest of the group tried their best to gather up their courage. It was as if they were trying to inflate their courage with as much oxygen that they could get to store inside their diaphragm.With their eyes closed as if they were about to take a leap of faith before they run towards the cactus plant ready to embrace her.Since they had their eyes close, they didn't see anything. All they felt was as if they were plunged in a cold jelly-like substance for a split second.When they open their eyes next, they saw Niccoli looking at them with a bright smile."I thought I would have to wait for a couple of minutes before you would come after me... HAHAHAHA""It doesn't hurt at all. It was just a trial of will and courage. We won't really get pricked by her thorn!""That Cactniss Evergreen is really something. She should have just told us beforehand."Niccoli complained as he gives his whole bod

On the flip side, going back to the main point, Allan and the others will be calling out their spiritual beast now.For the first time in history!!!Err. I mean from the first time ever since I started to write this book. Yeah.As they need to establish a mental link with their spiritual beast, the group sat down with their eyes closed and their legs crossed.A few minutes after, the ground suddenly rumbled furiously as if an intense earthquake had struck the area. Following this, a massive beast rose up from the earth.It had the head of a lion, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a tiger, the body of the moose, the scales of a dragon, and the tail of an ox.It was a chimerical Qilin!The Chimerical Qilin bows its head towards Steve's direction as it pays its respect towards its master.This phenomenon was followed by a strong gale of wind as the clouds started to turn dark and thunder boomed in the air while lightn

A couple of hours had passed and finally, the sun rose again signaling the next day. It fills the sky with shades of orange and pink.As soon as the sun blooms on the horizon, its golden petals stretch outwards into the rich blue and green plateau.This brilliant flower of the sky chased away the darkness and coldness that the previous night had brought. Bringing warmth in its replacement.Stretching their backs, Audrey and her friends ready themselves for another long journey.After rubbing the sleepiness out from their eyes, the group called out each of their own spiritual beasts. So they can prepare themselves and took their leave as soon as possible.This, of course, is with the exception of Audrey since she and Nero sleep side by side inside the cavern last night.Since other magical beasts can't change its form as they please unlike Nero, Nike and the others had no choice but to order their spiritual beast to rest s

"Well, you cannot date her even if you want to,"Nike said calmly with a smile."Why not????""Cause she's mine---""She's not your wife yet! So it's inappropriate for you to call her yours."Unable to stop herself, Audrey butted in again before she could even stop herself. This time, she directly opposes Nike's words."How do you know that we are about to get married???? I haven't mentioned that part yet??""??????" Audrey"Err... I--I-- h-heard it from Niccoli! Yes, h--he told me about it b-be--before."Audrey said while stuttering. She had a sudden slip of a tongue at that split moment and so she had no choice but to made up an on the spot lie.Pushing the blame under Niccoli's name."Me??? I told you about it????"Niccoli was obviously stunned when he heard Andrew shifting the blame to him. To be honest, he doesn't have any recollection of talking to Andrew anything about it.
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Old Friend
The group continued to chat on their way. To avoid getting too much attention, they already instructed their spiritual beast to put them down somewhere outside the city's entrance. Then from there, they made their way towards the royal palace on foot. As such, they were having a casual chat while enjoying the walk.Since they had come a long way from Iridos back to their homeland which is the Kingdom of Corona, the two young princes wish to pay their family a visit. After all, it has been a long time now since they last saw them. While they have no intention to reveal their true intention of going back to the Kingdom of Corona, they also don't find the need to hide the truth that they indeed went back to their home town.Besides, it would be more troublesome for them if someone familiar with their identity managed to saw their faces here despite not reporting their presence. They would look more suspicious if that happens. So rather than risking being fou

Since Audrey is not yet too familiar with the place, she just went on the places that she previously have been. Just like on the hillside. A little isolated place among the palace grounds, where she and Niccoli first met. Or rather had their first fight. This is where they both came tumbling down to the foot of the hill. All the hair tugging as well as the head-butting incident happened at this very same place.Audrey smiled as she recalled those silly things that she had done when she was just green and unfamiliar to this world.She even dare hit a prince! What a bold lady she was.But thinking about it, Audrey believed that even if it is in the present, she still will not think twice about hitting Niccoli. If he deserved to be hit, even if he were a prince she will still give him a good beating.Staying with Nike ad Niccoli in the same room for almost have a year made her forget that they were actually of noble standings.Their casu
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Reminisce
After cloud watching with Niccoli, Audrey descended down the hill. Looking around her, she realized that she was walking down the path that leads to the place where Nike almost confessed his feelings to her.Well, recalling that situation indeed make her blush. But not because of anything romantic but more because of shame!!!!!Thinking back at that suppose romantic night with Nike that ended up to be a total epic fail, Audrey almost wanted the ground to swallow her.The place and atmosphere were almost perfect. An ideal romantic setting that is commonly portrayed in the books.Even the pale glow of the moon is there to complete the scene. In fact, even the thousand brilliant diamonds in the sky were also present at that time.But before Nike could even confess his love, her stupid digestive system gets on the way!!!!!Who could be more unlucky than her when it comes to romance???Why in the freaking earth of all the tim

On the flip side, complete unaware of how her very presence alone could affect Jace, Audrey continued to make her way towards him. Consequently, when Jace saw Andrew going to his direction, the tumult deep inside him tighten its grip over his heart.Over the course of these past few days, he had been troubled by his own confusion and emotion. He deeply wanted to shut those things away, but he realized that it was really hard to hide on yourself.He wanted to vent those frustrations heaping up at him but he just can't find a release. He wanted something like a bridge that could provide him a place away from all these drama and confusion.But who would have thought that the one who could give him a bridge over troubled water was the same man who brought him all these confusions?What a timing."Jace, is there something troubling you recently????

I mean, she is older than the two of you so naturally, she was supposed to have more authority above both of you, no?.”“Ehhh… She’ll be fine. I’m the youngest so they should let me wear it more.” (Meredith)“The kid is right. The eldest should have the eyeball. She is a genius” (Steffi)Steve, on the other hand, seemed to get what Audrey was trying to do, so he said something that would surely add fuel to the fire.“But what about the middle child?

“Now, where are we? Right, cooking.”Steffi changed the topic on purpose, before turning to her sisters.“I need the eye to check if it's ready, who has it?”“It’s around here, somewhere,”Meredith replied as she started to rummage through a pile of disorganized drawers. She felt obliged to respond since she was the last one to use the Magus Eye. Unfortunately, she forgot where she left it.“The last time I saw it, you put it in the utensils compartment, Meredith” Steffi insinuated using a lazy tone so the other party rebutted,“Don’t use that tone with my name.”Ariel on the other hand joined in this time to inform them that the eye was nowhere to be seen.“It’s not there this time.”After a while of contemplation, Meredith’s face lit up as she recalled something.“Aha! Steffi always put it in the dish cabinet:”And just like that, she found where her sister was hiding it.Consequently, the group found it interesting to watch how the three sisters could be talkative without having t

“I agree with Ariel. Why don’t we invite them over? This way, we could continue our chat there whilst they take their much-needed rest.” This time, it was Meredith who spoke and she deliberately told her sisters this. Nonetheless, she has spoken the words loud enough to be heard by others. The students, on the other hand, were beyond ecstatic when they overhear the ongoing conversation. But decided that it would be best not to allow their emotion to show on their faces. At this point, Meredith turned to the group and greeted them with a bow. “Let me apologize on my sister’s behalf. The thing is, it has been a while since we had visitors. As such, we are no longer accustomed to receiving guests.” She insinuated before she slowly approached the bunch of bewildered youngsters; careful not to bump her toe as she felt her way through the darkness. Her blindness was made obvious by her action and it made her appear pitiful to any onlooker. Truth be told, the Grae’s current act of displ

“Seriously, when will they stop obsessing over Cercei?”Tsking in annoyance, Steffi stealthily moved her slender fingers next to the Magnus Eye with the full intention of taking it back from her younger sister’s possession.“These people were getting on my nerves!”She purposely added this to appeal to her sisters’ sentiment so that their minds could focus somewhere else and they would not notice it once she started hogging the magic eye all for herself again. Meanwhile, her plan worked, as it always did. Ariel readily agreed to her and with a voice full of despondency, she said,“That’s how the mage community works. They fear what they could not understand and so they are set on destroying anything that they cannot control.”Ariel finished with an exasperated sigh. Meredith, on the other hand, could not help but clenched her fist as she was reminded of their good friend’s plight. Then with her brows knitted together, she roared,“The gal did not deserve all this hatred.”Meanwhile, t

On the flip side, rewinding the clock a tad, just a few minutes before Audrey’s group discovered that they unknowingly fall under a spell, the Graes were already watching them. “The eye! Who has the eye?” Meredith, the youngest, shouted at the top of her lungs. Steffi, on the other hand, stepped away from the giant cauldron before answering. “Over here. I had it with me.” She purposely put a safe distance between her and her two sisters before taking the eye out from her pocket. Afterward, she put the eyeball inside her empty socket. Meanwhile, Ariel, the middle child among the three sisters complained, “You again? You are always snagging our eyes by yourself.” “I know right? Give us a chance as well.” Meredith seconded. But Steffi only rolled her removable eye and mumbled, “Oh, shut up! Stop whining, it's because I have more use of this than the two of you combined.” Ariel no longer argued. But Meredith was different. “Give me that, it is my turn today.” She insinuated and

“But this was done in consideration of what was the lesser evil. News about how the petrifying monster has been terrorizing the Black Forest had already reached the ears of the masses and as a result, was causing mayhem among the people; both non-magic and magic practitioners alike. If it was not for that, the mage community would not make a move.” “Terrorizing, you say.” The Grae mockingly repeated Niccoli’s word that struck her noggin the most. Then with a contemptuous scoff, she added, “What an interesting choice of words considering that it was you, students, who made the first move against her. If you were to ask me, I think it is more accurate to say that it was the other way around. You all are the ones doing the terrorizing. You brought the melee with you and now that she retaliated, you turned her into a villain?” Everyone fell silent afterward but it was not because they were trying to come up with better arguments to refute the other party’s words. Rather, it was due to
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Trouble heading your way
Audrey was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way. Meanwhile, the results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to. Niccoli dragged Audrey into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Niccoli immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment. Niccoli was also excited to see the name ‘Andrew’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks. “Andrew! You are the first! You are the first!” Niccoli was extremely surprised and held onto Audrey’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as i

[Alright, I must admit it’s my fault this time. My bad.] “As you should!” Ultimately, Nero acknowledged the part he played in inciting the agitated hut to action. But he also did not forget to let Audrey know that he did not appreciate her tone. [Needless to say, raising your voice is completely unnecessary. Besides, getting mad at me won’t change anything, will it? You’re kind of embarrassing me, just you know.] The cat tried to reason out but with her and her friends’ lives at stake and almost put in danger, Audrey did not back away easily this time. “Oh yeah? Then swear to me that from now on, you will be mindful of your choice of words. We have to be careful with every word we are saying because it was not every time that we got a chance to take it back.” Meanwhile, Nero’s response came shortly. However, it was so brief. Moreover, it did not sound sincere either. [Okay. I promised] So Audrey prompted the cat to state the matter precisely because she did not want him to circ
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Passphrase
“What if the Graes already took notice of us as soon as we entered their perimeter and right now, we are under a spell; making our eyes play a trick on us? What if what we are seeing right now is not real?”“Well, if that is the case, then I guess there is only one way to check it.”Audrey insinuated and without wasting another breath, she said the passphrase."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Slowly, it dawned on the others as well what was possibly happening and so without waiting to be told what to do, they recited the same thing too."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."They whispered into the air one after another and almost immediately, the landscape changed into something else, right before their naked eyes.Everyone watched with an awestruck face as the trees turned into fences. At the same time, just a few feet away from where they were standing, they noticed how an empty lot from moments ago started to morph into what seemed to be an inconspicuou
