I won’t be able to look at Rio this morning. We are eating breakfast and I can't help but sigh every now and then.
I had the audacity to tell him that I like him and yet I can't even face him right now. I sat at the very far side of the table where he can't see me.Surprisingly, the two did not ask. But Jax and Uno are smirking at me like they know what I did! It's not like I was the one who initiated the kiss.It was Valerio freaking Addison, not me.I was in the middle of eating when the headmaster entered the dining hall. Almost everyone is also finishing their meal."Good morning. I received news from district 4, and I'm sorry but your stone is stolen too."Everyone gasped. What the hell?"I want everyone to leave this hall except Angel, Jade, Uno, Jax, Rio and Iris." We even wondered who he was referring to but it’s pretty obvious. It's us whom he's referring. Your students have left as well. There are only six of us left."Ir"It's still seven hours before we get to town, the headmaster said. If you want, you can take a nap."I looked at Rio as he said that. "You've been there." I concluded."Yes. Once. And it's a troublesome place."It was early in the morning when we left the academy so we all felt the cold. I used my trait to warm everyone up. They breathed a sigh of relief."Good thing you're with us Iris. Without it we might have died in the cold." Angel laughed softly."Dead right away? Can't we get sick first ?!" when Uno moaned. I was surprised when Jade suddenly hit him."You have to shout? Huh? Your man is sleeping." Jade said in disgust. Uno pouted."Is he sleeping? Is he listening?" Uno whispered softly but we all heard.We couldn't help but laugh when Jade hit him again. "I heard that stupid!"Uno dramatically grabbed her chest. "I'm stupid ?! Did you say I'm the smartest person you've ever met ?!""Shut up." Jax interjected at them.Ang
We were also in the air for thirty minutes. The horse was fast but I guess the camp is really far. It's not located on the five districts. It's located in the mountains surrounding the districts.Only now do I also realize. Dad isn't around all the time. If I go to the council, sometimes he is not there.I always hear these words ..." Your father is on a journey, miss."And if not then. "She's been home before.""Can't they follow us?" I asked Leon.He shook so I could breathe easily.We went down the mountain. Leon says the mountain calls it Golden. There seems to be as much gold here. But that was just before. No one comes to this mountain.Maybe it's just that they're here. If it had been a house, it would have been abandoned.It no longer benefits the people. The traits user from our districts already cultivated the mountains. There's no gold left.We walked another hour before we reached a cave.I thought we were going to
I was also amazed at what my cousin said. What the hell is he talking about? I didn’t take my eyes off my cousin. I was waiting for him to take it back but he didn’t."What? Is that possible?" Angel asked incredulously."So the legends are true then." Comment by Jax."Unbelievable." Uno promised.Jade remained silent."Rest first." he finally said.He didn't answer Angel's question so they could do nothing but leave.My cousin's eyebrows rose to see that I was still here."Didn't you hear me, Iris?""Why did you do it?" I softly asked him."I did what I have to do." He spoke softly."You could put your life into danger by spreading fake news!"He sat in the chair Hela had sat in earlier. "So? At least it's just me. If it's you, you know our family can't afford to lose you."I glared at him. "You're insane! What went into your neck?"He suddenly became serious. "You may not feel it, Iris but one of your
We are currently walking towards Mount Avalon. We didn't have a map or anything. Because Hela says our feet themselves will take us to Avalon.After our conversation, Hela and I left immediately. We'd better leave early so we can get back early.But there's something off with them, Mnemosyne who keeps glancing on her watch. My cousin always looked outside. And then Hela who is busy fidgeting."My foot hurts!" Angel's complaint."My back hurts more! Why are we all carrying our food ?! The weight!" Uno's subsequent complaint.Jax sneezed. "I brought more, did I complain?" I just laughed when Uno fell silent. Jax's belongings were our women's belongings. Rio suggested that the boys should bring it so Angel and Jade didn't bring anything."Let me help you, Uno." Jade offers him. He suddenly shook. "It's not heavy. All right, go for a walk."I was just shaken by what Uno did. "I thought it was heavy huh? Esguerra?""You know your joke ha Quaison?"
"Enough Iris. He's just messing with you." The old man laughed out loud because of what Rio said.It looked at me. "Is this Theodore's son? He's grown up." he nodded further."Come in. It's been a long time since anyone last visited me."Angel also stood up now that he was dealing with back pain. Tsk, this old man.We went inside and I couldn’t help but be surprised because it looked so different on the outside.She made us sit in her living room very nicely."My house is beautiful, isn't it? I designed it for someone!" then he laughed out loud."Has anyone gotten in here?" I asked him."Of course, people are not banned in our world. Doesn't your grandfather now live in the world of people?"I nodded at him. Yes, my grandfather Enrico is now in the human world. It's not forbidden for us to go there before. But when the king is changed, it is no longer possible.King Rico changed everything.So it just deserves to be replac
Avalon let us stay for the night. But tomorrow we will also leave. Now that we finally know who abducted my father and what has happened to the stone. We can save it now.I didn't let them talk to me the entire night. I have nothing to tell them yet. How can I tell them that my cousin just said it because there's a traitor in them? How can I tell them that? To my friends?I also couldn’t believe what he said. I can't believe I was a descendant of a king. If he wasn’t stripped off his title, I might be a princess now.But that doesn't matter anymore.The next day at the table while eating we were quietly empty. We could only hear the sound of the spoon."You can leave now." Avalon said.We wasted no more time and stood up. We still had to tell the headmater what we found out."But how can we go back?" Angel asked."I'm sure the prince will show you the way."We all looked at Avalon and were shocked."What the hell are you
We are now passing through a narrow road. The headmaster said that we're heading to a bunker. We did not know that such a thing existed. At each corner there is only a small bulb that serves as a light.Finally someone opened the headmaster and exposed us to the hundreds of wounded.I covered my mouth. Something else is just as delicate.The headmaster addressed us."We've been attacked by the king, now I know who our opponent is."He took a deep breath. I can say that he is very tired."What are you going to do with the corpses outside?"The headmaster sat down and wiped his face. "I don't know, what does it look like I'm going to present to their parents?"We were stunned. "So, the people don't know yet?"Shake it. "Apart from the rebels there are none. We're glad that they came so somehow the students aren't exhausted."Suddenly sir Grand approached us. "We were attacked last night, they are seeking for the district 5 stone but ho
It was night when I arrived at station 5 without anyone noticing. And even more annoying is that I can’t find what I’m looking for.The mystical dragon.He resides here.I wonder if he's still here up until now.I went to where we had found the dragon before but I didn’t even see a shadow.He's big and yet I can't see him.There I remembered that it might have been in a cave.I started walking again. I use my fire as a light. It is still a forest where wild animals live.When I entered the cave, the smelling masses immediately greeted me.No wonder, he's here.I looked up to him and to find out that he's sleeping.We're already friends so -"What are you doing here?" I tried to look back at who was speaking but I realized I had no one else with me so I looked at the dragon again."I said, what are you doing here?" there that wrinkled my forehead. Do I have anyone else with me here?"Hey! What's t
Rio's POV When you want something, you do anything to get it. When you want to protect someone, you'd do anything to do it. Life is a gamble, sometimes we and sometimes we lose. And in my case, I lost in the gamble of life. I lost the woman that I love without even showcasing what I truly feel towards her. I don’t know what really happened to him.That day, he suddenly disappeared and I didn't even know what really happened to him. Is she dead? Is she coming back? I don't know.
After the exchange of sharp words between Aaron and Rio the traitor left as well.Unbelievably, maybe I should admit that there are things we really don't expect to happen.Just like my cousin, I thought he was loyal to us, to his family but he just seemed to be honest with himself.I no longer knew what to say to her mom.Her husband is dead and her son helped the king to kill him. I couldn’t help but gasp. The next day I woke up to a loud explosion above."What's that, Rio?"I asked nervously.Maybe they did something bad to my father. "Something's happening." "What is that?" Later something exploded again.I also heard as if someone was shouting."Could it be that it's them?" Rio could not answer my question.He may also be unaware of whatever is going on. If before there was an
I woke up with a shake of my shoulder.I was immediately grabbed by my head because of the pain.When I opened my eyes Rio exposed himself to me, worried."You're still bleeding," he commented.I grabbed my forehead and felt the hot liquid.Tsk."Where are we?""In the dungeon."I looked around and he was right.We're in the dungeon.Somewhere beneath the ground."They gave us until tomorrow sundown to surrender the stone. If you don't hand it they will take you father's life." So it's still not over huh?"Where's Angel and Jax?"I asked him."They managed to escape but they only got two trait stones. Aaron stopped them from getting the other two."Tears welled up in my eyes as he mentioned my cousin's name.My friend is a traitor. My cousin is a traitor and lastly my un
I felt the pain in my stomach.I can see nothing but blood.Blood kept flowing from my stomach.And there's also blood in my mouth.I was depressed, and I wasn’t even shocked that I spit blood. "Iris!"my friends shout at me.I can't even looked at them. Later Jade drew the sword so I got on my knees. I heard Vale's footsteps towards me.He cupped my face."You lost Franchesca, why don't you hand me the stone?" I spat at him."Never." He grabbed her face.He looks mad."Then I guess your father's
"So this is the problem Uno's talking about huh?" Jax commented while looking at Jade."I didn't know that some snake is already crawling behind our backs." Rio added.But Jade doesn't seem to care. Instead she smiled sweetly at the two. "Oh boys! I enjoyed being with you! Especially since you're so ignorant of what's going on!""You're crazy." Jax hissed."I have a lot of fun!" Jade said excitedly. It makes me wanna pull her hair. Damn, traitor.The king spoke again. "You see, Jade has ambitions. And that is to become powerful by influence. So she agreed to be my eye in the academy so that he can marry my son Vince and become the queen."I looked at Jade in shock. "And here I thought you were content with what you have now." No emotion if promised to him."Oh come on Iris, everybody dreams! It's just a coincidence that her dreams are lofty." That's when I lost control. I attacked the king with my traits but Jade quickly blocked the attack using th
I should have just woken up and gone down the tree.I was so shocked to see Rio wide awake. Did he sleep? just woke up?I wanted to ask him but my pride won't let me. After what he did in Avalon's place, it feels like he's not the Rio that I used to know.Even if Rio is a bit harsh, he would at least explain to me what the hell is happening. But instead he chose to mock me and be mum.Jax and Angel are hugging each other. They are still fine and have no problems.I sighed. I'm about to step on Angel when Rio speaks."Why didn't you tell me? Don't you trust me?" he asked. Difficult.I turned to him. "I was about to tell you but Aaron interfered. He said something very disturbing. I can't trust you."He laughed heartily. "You really think that I'll betray you? Especially now that you know who I am?""Oh, come on! You didn't tell me who you are either!" I scolded him."Because it's not important at all!""Then your father being the
