August's POVYou gotta be kidding me. Who the fuck is this child? His blonde hair is messy but his blue eyes are drowning. He still has dirt on his face and he is wearing it, which makes me feel like he is a street kid begging. But, is it a trend here? I haven't seen any street children here in pandora."Hey Kid, where's your mom?" I asked her and I was trying to untie it from my foot that you thought was stuck.She looked at me like a confused puppy. Yes, she is a girl, not a boy, it is obvious from the face of this girl who is three or two years old, not sure."Mommy!" It just answered me."My god, don't tell me that August is your son?!" Franco asked me in surprise.I looked at it. "Do I look like Franco? Just hair and nothing." I have a complaint here. This is crazy. I haven't even had a boyfriend and I'm still a virgin so what they say is impossible."Maybe from the father," Jules answered."Crazy! If I do have a child, why would I deny it?" It's good to tease the two of them. So
August's POV"I'll carry her." Cayden suddenly promised me.Is it obvious that I'm burdening Pearl too much? I never thought it would take this long to walk. Why didn't we just ride here? What is that possible? And I don't know this Pearl either, she's getting heavier and heavier, I think she's swallowed a load of steel."Up! Up!" Pearl suddenly promised and raised her two hands as a symbol that she wanted to load Cayden.I just shook my head as I handed Pearl to her and Pearl was very happy. "Behave, Pearl," I promised him but he didn't answer me."Fly! Fly!" Pearl said and Cayden did, throwing it slightly and carefully catching it. "Yeeeeee!" Its screams and laughter are non-stop. Kids. The superficial happiness."You know how to handle a child," Gen commented. "We're practicing.""It's surprising with his attitude, he knows how to take care." I'm shaking my head. It's just surprising. This is the type that does not take care of and does not like the child."It's funny because Pearl
August's POVI didn't sleep again last night. I suddenly fell asleep because of what happened. Even Alice and Gen woke up. We all did not sleep last night. We all waited for the sirens to return but they never did. Lucas can't be stopped from acting out and he even considers me a hero because he said I saved his life.Pearl, of course, doesn't know or even if she hears us, she doesn't know what we're talking about, so she's just playing with Clint and Alucard, who is now watching over her. They are competing. They all want to take care of me."We need to plan our move. We need to get them as soon as possible. We are lucky enough that we found them earlier than we expected." Gen said that he was drinking something that I don't know. But I didn't plan to find out more because I wasn't interested."How? Based on what happened last night, they are dangerous." I promise. I saw it with my own two eyes. Nothing brutal has happened yet, I know that they are dangerous. I can feel the menacing
August's POVI was not able to participate in the meeting because my body failed when we got back to the inn. I'm so tired I don't understand. I woke up not knowing what time it was but it was night. Pearl was with Cayden. The child is quite interested in it and that's okay with me because I'm the only one who takes care of it all the time.I got up and took a shower because I felt better again. I'm the only one in the room right now, maybe Gen didn't come in so as not to disturb me because he's still talking.After I showered, I looked for something to wear, but I frowned as I only had one set of clothes left. Enough for tomorrow. Come on, what should I wear to sleep today? I didn't expect that we would be here for a few days. I thought it would just be like 2 days."Oh is there a problem?" Gen suddenly asked me if he had already entered.I looked at it. "I don't have any pajamas. I only have one set left for tomorrow." I answered here.Gen sighed. "We didn't think we'd be here long
August's POVI wanted to gape but I couldn't because water would enter my mouth. It would be stupid if I did that. Nice! It's like he wasn't given justice in my dream! But why is that just a dream? But the water is clear! Yes, it's hard on the eyes but I know I can get used to it too but the surroundings are beautiful! Blue and green colors and mixed with red yellow, white, and other colors due to the coral reef and swimming fish.But I just blinked. I see some swimming but it's far from what I expected. What the fuck am I seeing? They are mermaids, right? Then why do they look like that?Why do they look like aliens? But shit, aren't they aliens? Why am I still wondering? But wait, why does the other one look wounded? What's happening? I want to ask a question, but I can't speak. How can I do that?I looked at Gen who suddenly beckoned to me.I don't understand him! If only I had known this was going to happen I wouldn't have come! I'm not good at Charade bad trip! I felt like an idi
August's POVThis feels so awesome. How come I just rode a big dolphin? Yes, you read it correctly. A freaking huge bottle-nose dolphin. Oh, haven't I identified yet? It's like a horse when it's under the sea and a water horse when it's on the surface. Why do they still call it water horse, when they can call it sea horse? The sea horse is more suitable there than the water horse. But I didn't think too much about it because it was just stressful.I looked at the whole army. I can't count how many we are. As long as there are so many of us I feel like we're going to go into a big war with both kingdoms at stake. Macedonia versus Troy, it's just like that. I bet you are not familiar with Greek history. We just kept swimming and we were swimming fast. Pearl was tightly wrapped around me, she seemed afraid that we might leave her. Because at the speed of swimming, it was like my soul was left there in the palace."This is awesome. I thought horses were great, but this is way cooler." I h
August's POVI have been released from the hospital but my status is still shaking at level 999. How is it because we have already tortured ourselves and the one we are looking for has come to us on his own? We didn't even think of that. Who would have thought that a dirty child would be the Aqua Siren? And the worst is, she holds the power of perfect healing. He treated me but I slept for three days because even though I was treated, my strength was not restored. They said she is not a full mortal, half of her is a deity. That's what Gen said, so the feeling is very awkward every time he calls me mom. My god, my daughter is a half-goddess, what? Are you still acting? hahaCayden gave me a cell phone. I don't know what it ate. I posted a status about my shocked ness level. I don't know if anyone liked it or not. I don't use Facebook often because I didn't like it before, but now I want to have it because that thing makes me human. I need a breather because I'm surrounded by weirdness.
August's POVIt's been two days and I do nothing but stare aimlessly. I learned two things. Don't love. Do not trust. All I wish right now is to gain back my old self. The me that has no feelings. The me that doesn't care. I already stopped crying. It felt like the load had been lifted. Yes, I'm sad but not like before when I felt like I was going to die of pain.Gen did not fail to visit me. According to her, she made an excuse to my professors. The team is looking for me but Gen did not give any word on my whereabouts. I know I might be crazy but I can't help thinking if Cayden is looking for me. Is he? I guess not, because this is what he wants. I decided to move on. I decided to look for answers. I wanted to go back to earth.I stood up and went to my closet. I wore just walking pants and a t-shirt. I will go to the town and look for ways to open the portal by doing it legally or not.I left Pearl with her nanny. She did not insist on going with me. I noticed that she understood m
Cayden's POVI immediately ran fast when I saw King Laurent heading towards August to stab him. I knew I could reach it so I immediately hugged August and tried to teleport but I just heard a growl from behind me. I stopped and could not move immediately."Pity, you saved your ............love, while he saved his love. My death is not for nothing after all. I may be dead, but still....... ...... I............won." I heard King Laurent promise in a weak voice. I heard that someone fell and someone followed."August!" Gen. screamed in disgust. I saw that Gen tried to run but Lucas stopped him.My body suddenly felt cold. Something suddenly entered my mind and I was filled with fear when I did not see him in Gen's group."Oh my god..." August also gasped, now looking behind me.I couldn't stop myself and immediately turned to see what was happening. Horror filled my body when I saw August..... my August..... the sword was stuck in his stomach to his back. I felt like the world suddenly s
August's POVMy eyes were trained to a certain point where the chaos is going on. Neither of us moved in shock. My eyes were now looking at a figure that stood out from the monsters. He has a red cape and a crown but he doesn't look human. I already have an idea who it is, and the fact that I have an idea of who it is makes me nervous.That thing is the king of Orcs. King Laurent. He is riding a war carriage that instead of a horse is pulled by two hellhounds. He looks demonic and terrifies me every time I stare at King Laurent's face."Hahahahahahahaha!" King Laurent laughed as he approached us. I felt like I wanted to retreat but I stopped myself, but my instinct is screaming that he is dangerous! I know that I am not capable of fighting it either. "You manage to somehow, defeat my frontline.." he said with a smile and I looked away because I can't stand the look of King Laurent."Your Orcs are weak," Lucas said looking intently at King Laurent."Hahahahaha! Pity. Do you even stil
August's POVI was terrified as I looked at the towering entrance of the Academy. A deafening sound was coming from here because of the loud banging of the orcs. I don't know what they use to do that. Wood or their body itself? I do not know."The barrier won't last if they keep bumping," Kaye said the worry on his face was obvious."I know. No matter how strong the foundation is, it can still be torn apart by desperate orcs." I said that there was a lot of tension. That's right, what's the difference between beautiful and desperate flirting? hahaBut before the others could react, the barrier suddenly rattled and creaked loudly as it fell and created a deafening noise and thick dust.I closed my eyes because I almost fell asleep. Angel Grace immediately intervened and created a shield so that we would not continue to be hit by the sleeping dust because the orcs might attack while we were closing our eyes. Maybe we will lose right away from the start of the match.I slowly opened my e
August's POVI try to avoid them all. I stayed in my room or I went out and hung out in every part of the Academy. Library in the corner of the laboratory or the maze garden. I also take out food. I don't want to eat in the pantry because I will only see them there too. I am also eating in the room.I am now in my room. I plan to go to the library. There is no class. I just thank you. I need to check some books in the restricted section. I have access to that because I'm an Elite. Weird, I still have the position even though the real August is back. But what is his right? I was the one who earned this position and he was not. I defeated Venna with my skill so he has no right to do this to me, I will hit his face.I left the room and unfortunately they were all downstairs as if they were waiting for someone. I walked held high but I wasn't looking at them. They sounded so happy and I was irritated because of that."August, we have a mission. Let's go." Franco's voice said.I do not car
August's POVI'm making my bed because now I can get out of the hospital. I still felt sullen that Gen didn't even visit. How busy are they? I didn't even hear any news from them. Or maybe because I am useless to them since I got injured. That thought makes me sad."August! The Elites are home!" Alice screamed rushing into the room.I smiled here. I did not feel any excitement at all because the sullenness was more dominant."Okay." I just answered here and fixed myself. Sometimes this Alice is also insensitive.Alice noticed that I was not in the mood so she didn't sculpt me. She's the only one who stayed by my side when I needed help. I don't remember anyone who went to visit me or even said hello if I was okay or if I was still alive. And now, she's saying they are back. I completely understand that they went on a mission but why do I still feel this way? I tried to shrug it off from my mind and started to think positively. Maybe this is just an effect of my near-death experience.
August's POV"Misha! Is this true? I'm back?" I can hardly believe the question. As far as I remember, I was still in Pandora and wounded."Yes, August... good and you're back. We've been looking for you for a long time." Misha started crying."I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was going to be taken to another planet," I said with a snort. But to be honest, I'm happy because I'm finally home. I don't belong there anyway."I wish you took me with you! Do you know how hard life is here without you? I can hardly leave the house. Gangsters are waiting outside the school because they are looking for you. Even your underlings, another group." It's a complaint again."Tss, yes. But did I know that I was going to go there? If only I had known, I wouldn't have told you to have a picnic there." I promise I'm pissed off here.I'm jealous that I can go home. I just didn't think I was back home. I thought, I will die there in Tierrabithea Tribe but it seems not because here I am, alive and well."Bu
August's POVMy surroundings almost beat our school grounds because of the cleanliness. I'm not even sure what's going to happen, as long as I'm hot-headed I want to step on it so I piled my annoyance on the dry leaves and kicked them.My anger has gathered. First, doing a mission without any concrete plans. Second, we are looking for something that we don't even have any idea what it is. There are no even clues, no evidence gathered. Then I'm the type of person who will rush if there is information gathered. Do you think I won't explode? How many times have I complained inside my brain? I tried not to complain because I know that they have their way but it was just too much. We still beat the newbies.I looked at the relatively small trees compared to the others. What happened to them? Why did they fall? I tried to remember if it had fallen before I arrived. But I really can't imagine! I'm not sure. But maybe it fell before I came because I didn't come near them."When can I go home?
August's POVI didn't know how I was able to sleep last night. Last night was a nightmare. We didn't do anything but just sit and wait for those ghosts to fade away and their screeching scream is nerve-wracking. I bet, I already have another set of bags under my eyes.I came out of the tent and I saw everyone how busy they were. But I was stopped by the wild grumbling in my stomach. That's right, I couldn't even eat last night even though I was hungry. Who would feel hungry if you are surrounded by ghosts? There was food but I couldn't force myself to eat. It's hard for me. My fear of ghosts is way more than my hunger.Suddenly my mouth watered when I smelled grilled fish. I immediately followed the smell as if my feet had a mind of their own and my instinct knew where the smell was coming from. And there I saw my group they are in a circle and grilling with a man-made bonfire."Hey, it's good that you're awake. This is almost done and we can eat." Gen. happily promised.I snorted. "I
August's POVThe ringing that we heard disappeared when we reached what looked like a stone ruin with vines. But we hardly moved at the same time when someone focused on our eyes. Immediately we saw the tribes with black faces. Is the clay mask a trend for them? But it can't be a clay mask because I know it's not. It's like slapping their face with a caldera's ass."Foreigners! What's your purpose and have you strayed into our territory?!" Boldly asked a big man who was just carrying a spear and if any wrong move we would make, he would throw the spear at us.I can't speak! I seem to be stoned to where I stand. We might be strong be we are outnumbered. I am hesitating if I have to move or not. But I was about to move and jump when someone stopped me. I immediately turned around and immediately saw Cayden looking at me and he shook his head a little, giving me a signal not to do whatever I am planning to do.I gritted my teeth. We are obviously in a very dangerous situation. Those like
