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
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
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.
If you live in a world where there are special traits, will you be good, bad, or just be normal?I was born with a special character, so were my neighbors - the people of the city of Iliaden. History has said that we get our special traits from our gods and goddesses. They said their power was so great that they gave us a share of what they had.In this country, I cannot say we are equal. There is a level in society. Our country has five districts. Whose district number is the latest is also their highest power. And I was lucky to be born in district five. Or so they thought.We have different characteristics, different per district. And I can say we are more powerful because we are in the fifth district. We have key features.District four can control things and when I say things I can say everything including people. They look telekinetic, super cool really.District three has electrical properties. They can control as long as there is electricity.The district h
I am now riding in a carriage to that school. I still know very little and then I will also go to that school.“Are we there already?”I asked the man who was driving the horses. He’s a bit old in the fifties, maybe. I bet he's from the first district. In the way of dress, not that I’m judging in other districts because it’s bad to dress. Just like me, it's because we were told that appearance matters. Even if they said that don’t just a book by its cover we can’t help but judge them based on what we see.“It’s close, miss.” His answer was short. I don’t know where that school is. Apart from not letting me out of the house, the school is hidden, not that I care.A few minutes later the carriage stopped so I looked outside. Don’t tell me this is your academy? I could see nothing but the ocean. Is the academy underwater? Maybe after all it’s a boarding school, once you’re in there’s no way you can get out unless you have connections or if you’ve graduated.“Are we here yet?
“Aaron you dumbass! Take a look! “Aaron caught me before I fell to the ground. And now Hela’s so mad about Aaron and I can really tell that she’s concerned.“Tsk. She’ll get over it in a minute. It’s even worse in our training.“That’s all Aaron said and handed me to Hela.That idiot! He doesn’t have gentleness in his body. But truth to be told you just lost that odd feeling because Aaron was right our training was the worst.“Are you okay?! “Hela asked incredulously because we straightened up again. I just nodded at her and chased Aaron to punch him in the face.“You jerk! You didn’t even say there was such a thing! Idiot! ““Hey! It hurts! “I rolled my eyes at him and stopped him. He wasn’t hurt maybe a little. I hope we get hurt.“If I told you would anything change? It’ll be the same anyway.”I just stared at him because he had a point and he also caught me so maybe that’s okay.“You guys are cute.”Hela said suddenly and laughed. My cou
“Don’t tell me you’re a virgin ?!”I covered my face because we were looking at each other. Her mouth! Very no brakes.I did not answer her and hastened to walk.I cried out when I suddenly floated away.“Sorry about that, did I make you uncomfortable?”“Well honestly yes, I’m not used to kinds of stuff like that and actually I don’t care about it not until you mentioned it.”“Oh sorry I really thought you were okay. You know your cousin’s reputation right?“ I nodded.“But I’m not like him.”“Yeah.”We arrived at the girl’s dormitory and it was very awkward because people were looking at us.Hela just led me to my room.“Here’s our room.”“You’re my roommate?”“Yup.”Thank god, I might have a hard time when other people are with me.“My roommate graduated last year.”I nodded.I looked in the cabinet and saw that my clothes were already there. So their faculty is really efficient. Our’s.“Can I take a nap?”“Sure. Just be sure to be a
I woke up to the noise around me it’s as if someone is walking back and forth. I groaned. I opened my eyes and was shocked to see that almost all of Hela’s dress are on the air.“Sorry did I wake you up?”“Yes.” I don’t want to lie and it’s not like she’ll get offended.“Sorry someone asked me out so I’m nervous and I don’t have anything to wear. What do you think? “At once she floated the green dress towards me.“It’s okay. You’re pretty so everything you wear is for you.“ she smiled at me.“But I think you should choose the red one? It suits you.“ she nodded and returned all the belongings to her closet.I looked at the side table and there was a letter there. “Who did this come from?”“Must be from the school, you know they like giving students a head up.” My forehead frowned at the letter.Good day student!Today is the first day of class, please wear the most comfortable outfit.P.S. Girls, don’t wear dress as for boys don’t wear shorts.“Why do
The food was ready so I was not surprised to see them floating. I still can’t help but be amazed, I’m used to seeing other people besides my district so I’m really a bit amazed at the traits of other districts.After we ate, a faculty followed us. He said that it’s our first class and it’s on station 1. I saw the men laughing. And then I saw a girl maybe a freshman too who tried to take off her dress because the wind was blowing. It’s not windy today, is it? It was there that I realized that the man from our district was working then. He’s manipulating the wind. I was chosen. So this is the reason why we can’t wear dress. People here are assholes.“Will the faculty do nothing?”I asked Larissa the woman earlier.He shook his head. “You’ll find out maybe later too.”I could have done nothing but nod. This school is really something. It’s strict but sometimes I don’t understand.We arrived at a classroom full of butterflies. But they also left as soon as they saw us. They ar

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
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
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
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
