The following day arrived, laden with anticipation and a hint of nervousness. Thoughts raced through my mind as I made my way to the training grounds, where Narek had asked to meet. The setting sun cast a warm, golden glow over the area, creating an atmosphere of serenity.I found Narek already waiting when I arrived. He stood tall, his posture commanding as always, but there was a softness in his eyes that I hadn't seen before. It gave me a glimmer of hope that our conversation might bring some clarity to the tangled web of emotions between us."Nyx," Narek greeted me, his voice steady yet tinged with a touch of vulnerability. "I'm glad you came."I nodded, trying to steady my racing heart. "I wanted to talk, to understand."He gestured to a nearby bench, and we both sat down, facing each other. The air hung heavy with unspoken words, as if the weight of our emotions demanded acknowledgement."I owe you an explanation," Narek began, his voice soft yet laced with regret. "When you kis
Nyx’s POVI prepared for school the next morning sluggishly. I was worried about many things, my performance in Narek’s class topping the list. As a matter of fact I wasn’t able to get an animal for the experiment like Narek instructed and so was worried I will get on his bad side, again.A sigh escaped my lips as I sat back on my bed dejectedly. Narin was already up and scrolling mindlessly on her tablet, her mood wasn’t all that great too and she was quiet as usual. My mind wandered back to the terrifying dream I had the night before and cold chills ran down my spine.I was the centre of attraction in that dream, not because I was dressed gorgeously or because I changed my hair colour or something of that sort. I was a different person entirely.My hair looked longer, healthier and it seemed like I had wings with my eyes blazing with fire. I was powerful, too powerful that the students and teacher started to call me cursed.I didn’t blame them though, I was looking too terrifying
Nyx’s POV The mystical morphology class went well as expected. I was in good terms with Narek and I did bring an animal as he requested. All thanks to the kind witch that is also my roommate. Narek requested that we all place our specimen on the table and carefully give it a cut on any part of our choice. I felt shaky at first but still did like Narek requested, making sure to avoid the heart as he warned in our last class, I wouldn't like to complicate things for myself. “Now students, focus on the wounded animal and chant the healing spell making sure that your eyes are at the exact point of the injury” Narek instructed, his hands folded behind him as he walked about the class supervising our exercise. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, “I hope it works” I mumbled, clenching and unclenching my fist. “Hespanon scruth…” I was interrupted by Korine’s loud shriek and turned to her with a dangerous glare. “I did it! Mr. Narek, I healed the injured cat on my own!” she scream
Nyx's POVI barged into the nearest restroom and dashed straight to one of the cubicles, slamming the door shut behind me."Transformation? What stunt is Aunt Gacia trying to pull? She knows very well that I can't transform, yet she insists that every student must be in attendance" I thought hard about what to do to escape from the impending peril that was about to befall me, but nothing was forthcoming.I pulled my hair in frustration, "This is a disaster. What am I going to do?" I groaned, pacing around in the small uncomfortable space.I began to imagine the faces of everyone in school staring at me because I was not able to shift too. The shame of walking into the hall the same, with no special appearance. I am going to be ridiculed for sure."Maybe I should force my wolf out," I thought and instantly bent on all fours. I tried to focus on shifting with thoughts of my wolf emanating from my body, but it was all in vain. Instead, I was sweating profusely with no change in my fea
Nyx's POVI tried not to listen to the side talks that began flying about the moment I entered the school premises with Narek. The students were already in their mythical forms and were discussing amongst themselves in groups.An Elf whispered into the other's ears, and they both giggled while staring right at me while some witches in the corner glared at me in scorn as I walked by.I tried to appear unfazed by their actions, but the reality of what lay ahead of me had me shaking in my boots.A certain vampire saw me coming and bared its fangs at me, I cowered frightfully, and he burst into mocking laughter.I pulled the book Narek had given me to my chest and focused on the task at hand, shoving other thoughts aside. We got to the assembly, and Narek walked to where the other teachers were sitting. He settled on one of the chairs and forced me to stand beside him, still holding onto the book.Everyone was in their mythical forms, the witches, vampires, Werewolves, Fairies, gods and
Chapter 48Nyx's POVI followed Narek back to the ancient temple, the book he had given me securely placed in my arms.My legs were starting to hurt from standing too long but I was too grateful to my teacher for saving my ass to complain.Narek didn't say a word to me and just walked ahead silently while I trudged behind, the urge to rest my tiring bones nudging at the back of my head.We finally got into the temple and I exhaled sharply."Keep the book over there" Narek pointed at a small table in the corner of the room. I walked towards the direction he pointed at and dropped the book as he instructed. My side eyes caught sight of my reflection in the mirror beside the table and a sharp gasp escaped my lips."What's the problem, Nyx?" Narek's concerned voice came from behind as he started approaching me.I turned back to the mirror, and the image, it was gone. I was staring at myself and not at the strange girl from my dream."It... It's nothing," I stuttered and began to dash f
Nyx's POVI was walking briskly to the dormitory, feeling slightly enthusiastic about whatever revelation relating to the mysterious being Narek had in stock for me.I couldn't wait for the evening to come already so that I could hear about Narek's research. "Well, isn't that Nyx Uren," someone said from behind a tree, causing me to stop and stare on in curiosity."Who are you?" I returned fearlessly, my eyes fixed on the direction the sound was coming from."The clown princess" I saw the owner of the voice come out from behind the tree.I recognized him immediately, one of Otis's goonies, what does he want from me anyways?I looked around to be sure he was alone, and it was not a planned attack or something.Satisfied that there was no one else, I sent him a glare."Stop referring to me as that punk face, you already know my name, why act like a dickhead" I stood up to him at once."Oooh, being feisty now, are we?" He cooed in mockery and began walking towards me."Is the Uren princ
Narin's POV"Miss Pendleton asks that you meet her in her office" the funny-looking troll announced and my eyes bulged out of its sockets.Miss Pendleton? Why is she suddenly requesting my present? Did I do something wrong?Perhaps it may be because I disobeyed her orders and used my magic even after she warned me not to do so.Did she see me transforming the pillow? Or she heard about it from someone else?But who would have told on me? I made sure to be careful not to give myself out before I performed the magic and I am sure Nyx would not be so stupid to rat me out as well, so how on earth did that woman find out?The troll's face lit up in a mocking smug smile, "What is the problem Narin? Not finding it funny anymore?" She mocked, giving that I laughed at first when I opened the door to meet with her silly face and funny-looking hair."Shut up!" I snapped at her and slammed the door on her face. I could hear her annoying cackle from behind the door and felt like clawing at her stu
