Cayden's POVI look out the window aimlessly. I am bothered these past few days. I don't know if they are real or not. But every night, I woke up having dreams of August. My jaw clenched. If my hunch is correct, they are my missing memory. Yeah, I know I lost part of my memory. I accidentally heard it from my mother and I forgot one specific person. I didn't know before who I forgot, but now somehow I am convinced that it is August.But what makes me bothered is in my memory, she's different. She is the type of my woman timid, regal, and beautiful. The August I know right now is entirely, completely different. Nothing is timid about her, nothing is regal about her. He doesn't care about himself and is a greedy mess. She answers back without any fear. Yeah, she's fearless and I don't know but I am slowly liking her being a carefree and carefree woman more than her being timid and reserved.But what happened to her? Why did she turn out like that? But wait, I forgot a vital thing. They
August's POVCayden's behavior towards me is not unknown to me. Yes, I noticed that because before, it was like I don't know, now it's like a hawk, a detective, like a warden watching my actions! I don't even know why he is like that! He doesn't say anything, it's like he's studying my actions and knows too much. Can't he just go back to the way he was before?"Alright, face your partners! Don't hold back first years!" Professor Banks yelled at us.Our training started immediately. We are paired up with the higher years they will do defense while we will do offense. My movement was not difficult because I was already used to the sword. In the beginning, it was really difficult but now I feel that the sword is just natural. It's just like a piece of wood that I hit the enemy with.I'm not that good at swordsmanship, but at least I can keep up now. I can attack and I can defend myself. My training became even more difficult, especially after what happened on the island. I also have one
August's POVI feel irritated. If earlier, I was okay with us leaving at night, now that we're leaving I'm getting wet. I feel fucking sleepy like to the bones. I drank two cups of coffee. I even have a pocket. I feel like I'm going to have a hypertension attack because of the amount of caffeine I've consumed but still no effect. But I don't have the right to complain because it's my fault. After all, I didn't take a nap. I was so impressed with myself that it was like karma for me. I am also wearing heavily protective armor. The helmet is missing. His Majesty Cayden is the culprit. They are wearing armor as well but not as exaggerated as mine.We got in the car. This is a heavy hummer truck. They said we were going to Atlantic City. Isn't that sunken? Shall we go down into the water? Do they know that it is forbidden to take a bath without sleep?"This is exciting. This is the continent of the Del Rochi's." Lucas said and he was still grinning."You're always excited." Gen."This is
August's POV"LUCAS!" I screamed when I saw him standing and grinning. My eyes narrowed and when he saw me, he suddenly turned pale. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" And I didn't flinch anymore and I immediately dashed and kicked his jaw immediately and because of the shock, Lucas immediately fell to the floor!"Ouch!" Lucas groaned and hit his jaw."That's not enough, you fool!" And I come up here and punch it in the face."Ouch! That's right August! Not the face!" It quickly blocks my punches but someone else is still hitting."You idiot! Did you order me to be slapped? What if I hammer your face?" I never stopped beating Lucas."What's going on?! Oh my god!" I heard around me and just a few seconds suddenly an arm wrapped around my waist and I floated in the air! So I violently turned around and saw Cayden pick me up so I was shaking in the air."Let me go Cayden! I'm going to kill that bastard!" I'm angry. What I hate the most is being slapped. My head gets hot and I turn into a witch. It's
August's POVI can't believe I am riding the water horse. Yes, this is their horse here in Atlantis. Cars are not in fashion here because they will not be useful when the continent sinks. They will still rust and have to buy a new one, so they don't follow the trend. Even houses here and things are the kinds that won't rust or rot in water.But the most terrible thing that I really can't believe it, I am riding with Cayden. Yes, I am freaking riding with him! And it's actually behind me because I might fall because the horse's skin is slippery. I don't have a choice because we have just the right number of horses. The boat is by pair and if I act it will make everything more difficult. But this pest is also free touching! It almost hugged me because it was holding the reins of the horse!"We are almost at the palace!" The previous knight shouted at us. Even if it doesn't shout, I can see the palace it's talking about. My eyes went wide literally. The palace is made of shiny stones and
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
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
