August's POVI can't explain the weight of my feelings. I don't know if I'm sad or angry. I only know one. I feel really bad. A few days passed and I did everything to avoid or at least not meet Cayden on the road. I don't even join the table anymore. My effort doubles, I wake up early to go to the pantry to have breakfast and then I also go home early and have an early dinner.As for Gen and Lucas, even though they didn't ask, I knew they were curious about what happened. I feel that they want to ask me but they don't. I don't even want to talk about what happened because my chest is tight. I can't understand why I feel this way. Because I'm not the type to harbor anger. Yes, I'm angry but I don't hold grudges. I would rather plant rice because it is more beneficial than planting it in anger."August, accompany me to the library..." Yuwe said to me.I looked at it. I wanted to go back to the room to lock myself in but I couldn't refuse it."S-alright." I just said here and we both wa
August's POVTo this day I still can't believe what happened. First, Cayden and I fought and second he apologized to me. So does that mean we're welcome? And I can't even put away the memory of his face when saying sorry to me. It's legit and I feel like it is some sort of an omen and a bad sign.I don't want to accept his apology but damn, my tongue betrayed me and I even said that I forgive him. I just can't believe it. It seems to have a brain of its own.I am now in my room. I turned to my cabinet when I remembered something. I stood up and opened it and there I saw, my backpack that was a little dirty because I didn't even wash it. I took my bag and brought it to the bed. I immediately opened it and saw my notes. Even a cheap cell phone is now dead because it is not charged. Suddenly I remembered something. Right, the medallion is in my bag so I immediately felt the secret compartment of my bag, it's at the bottom and the zipper is hidden. If you don't memorize my bag, you don't
August's POVIt was a long trip but it was worth it. We are here at Snow Fall island and we are all jaw-dropping at the beauty of the place. Like the fuck? Is this true? I am seeing this type of resort in the Maldives or Punta Cana. But I didn't expect that among all the outdated ones, this is the best. As soon as we entered the private resort, I was immediately exposed to the infinity pool with very clear water and an overlooking view of the ocean and islands. On the side, it looks like a bar because there are seats there and a winery."Is this true or is it just an illusion?" Gen asked in disbelief and his eyes were filled with the beauty of the place."Try slapping your face, it may wake you up," Cayden promised without emotion and continued walking towards a Grand Villa.Gen snorted because of Cayden's behavior. "It's naughty at any time." I bet Gen is murdering Cayden in his mind. It's obvious from his face. But it's just too bad. They are younger but Cayden is unapologetic so so
August's POV"We need to wear glasses, to be cool," Alice suggested and she got three aviator glasses and gave them to us one by one."Can you remind me why we have to wear glasses?" I asked. Is he looking for cool? Why didn't he wear it earlier?"Duh, it makes you insecure because that's why we have to wear glasses to reduce your beauty." It was answered with a matter-of-fact tone.I raised my eyebrows. "So it's still my fault now?""Oh, of course not. This world is just really unfair." Alice answered me with a smile.Gen. shook his head. "Stop it. Let's go downstairs, maybe what the boys will think downstairs.I lazily put on the glasses. The truth is that I'm not used to wearing it. I have a 20/20 vision and I'm not a fashionista because I can't afford that.We started to walk but I felt like I was suddenly growing shy. I don't know and I'm nervous that I don't know. The truth is that I'm ashamed of what I'm wearing. But I tried to keep my face tight rather than make fun of Cayden.
August's POVI've stayed in my bed several times but I still can't fall asleep. No matter how I close my eyes, it's as if my brain is abnormal, thinking that I'm still losing my eyes. Until now, I am still not depressed by the events earlier.This is another Cayden that I tried to give him back the T-shirt he lent me but he didn't want to accept it and said it was mine. Like the fuck? Who would dare to wear that kind of thing with a too-flashy print? Cayden's fan girls might just kill me. And who would be happy if the print was like that? But the most creepy part is, I'm still glad that Cayden made me wear that! The fuck!? What is happening to me? I am sure that I hate him to the core, but what the fuck? And the hell, the t-shirt is folded neatly in my bag as if I don't want it to get tangled. I just shook my head. I do not understand what is happening. It's freaking creeping me out.I turned my gaze to Alice, who was fast asleep and still snoring. Gen is also asleep and I'm the only
August's POV"August? Are you okay?" Gen asked me worriedly.I blinked because it called me."Huh?" I asked here because I didn't understand what he said. My brain is too messed up."God, I think you are not okay. You are too floaty!" Comment it to me. "And you look like you haven't slept at all! I feel like you're going on vacation because you have so many bags! Eyes bags!"I rolled my eyes at her. No matter what it says."I'm just thinking a lot, Gen," I answered here and I don't intend to say here whatever I think."And what is that?" It even raised an eyebrow at me."Going back home," I answer here. This is partially true but right now that's not what I'm thinking and it's messing with my brain.Gen was silent at my answer and I'm sure sadness passed through his eyes and his straight face suddenly changed and became blank."Okay, I'll be just outside..." He said weakly and left our room.I held my breath. My mind is so messed up that I don't want anyone to disturb or talk to me be
August's POVI was gaping the whole time while Cayden was dragging me into the depths of the forest. I can no longer say where we are and I don't see any trails that will lead us back. Instead of feeling intense fear, I felt at peace. I bit my tongue because Cayden was still holding my hand.We are no longer talking because he is busy looking for the flower. I, on the other hand, was silent and had no intention of speaking because it might just lead to an intense confrontation. I know very well that I have a strong reason to lose my temper but I don't know why, I can't do it. Just imagine, if it was a different person, he would probably be in the hospital right now, taking his life. But crap, it's not a person. Even if I beat it 1000 times nothing will happen. His body seemed to be made of steel and instead of him being hurt by my punch, I was the one who was hurt and he didn't feel any pain at all.We still had rocks and the surrounding area was a bit dark because the trees were thic
Genieva's POV"You gotta be kidding me. How did they manage to enter the island?" I asked Lucas confused. My curiosity has been killing me for a while as to how these orcs got in."No one knows Gen. The incident is currently being investigated. The council has also talked to Cayden, particularly August because he was the first to see the orcs." Lucas answered me.I just didn't expect them to make it into Snow Fall. This is one of the tightest security."Luke, I have a strong feeling that this wasn't just an accident. The orcs have a purpose on the island itself." I said softly to Lucas. "And to think that they are in the middle of the forest... I can only think of one Lucas... Only one.""Are you telling me that they are after the flower?" Lucas's eyes widened but he said it weakly.I nodded. "I can't think of anything else Lucas. That flower can only be found on that island and nowhere else. They are after the Cronus flower." I firmly promise. They won't go to Snow Fall to hide becau
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 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
August's POVWe just looked at the river. He is not ordinary in my eyes. It's not red, but there's a lot of fog on top of it and I don't know why it's like that. It's also wide, the river seems to be half a kilometer wide before the other side."Are you serious Lucas that there is no bridge here?" Angel Grace asked in disbelief."Roooooooooo!" Fyro is second."Watch this," Lucas said and he put his hand on the ground suddenly some vines collided and he started to cross the river that was forming a bridge but before he could stop, the bridge suddenly broke and turned to ashes! What the fuck?!"Shit, what? Is that a joke?" Jules asked in surprise."Red River nullifies all magic that comes across it," Franco answered here.I raised my eyebrows. "So how do we cross?" I asked. I still thought there was a bridge because there was a river, right? I didn't think it would be that many tricks."Simple, we'll just fly," Clint said immediately and it immediately jumped up and started flying."Wai
