As Earl opened his eyes, he once again found himself inside of his own mind, a familiar space he has been to before.It was the same place he was consumed in, before waking up back at the rainbow forest."so this is it huh? The mind's eye.... This is the place that consciousnesses reside according to the book Soki gave me.So this where it is.... The 'darkness' within...." said Earl as he began walking around the place.He was dressed in what he wore during the battle, and he made sure to move with caution.'.... According to the book, a stronger willed consciousness is bound to take over when the two consciousness collide.But a stronger willed consciousness would need an 'anchor' to win the battle, an emotional attachment stronger than the will to live.But that's the part I didn't quite get, and I'm gonna have to battle the second consciousness when the time comes' thought Earl.Shivers ran down Earl's spine as he felt a shadow run past him, "... Wha- I'ts here already?!!!" said Ea

As the announcement rung through the ears of all the students, "Earl White and Sidney Guy have been captured by the ORA""... Wait, what?!!!" said Henry in disbelief as he clenched his hair in his hands, "that can't be right!!!" said Crystal."Gosh darn it!!!!" yelled Ruby as she stomped her foot on the ground angrily.Annie couldn't even speak a word, she could only hold her own mouth shut, using both her hands.Tears filled her eyes, but didn't flow down, only keeping her in pure fright and uncertainty."Earl..." said Suzuki with sad eyes, "they kidnapped one of the 'prodigies?" said Lan, "Earl!!" said Ralph.Janet was quiet, with a puzzled look on her face, "how could this school let this happen?!!!" she yelled out in anger."Earl!!!" said Christopher, Alice, who was beside him said nothing, and could only place her hand on his shoulder."How come?!!!" "Why?!!!" "when?!!!" "I thought this was one of the best schools in Welgrid!!!!" "how many times will they attack us?!!!" the screa

Having heard the news about Earl and Sidney, and the added fact that none of them could do anything about it made school life a lot less enjoyable. As one would imagine.The most affected were those who were directly intertwined in their lives, Ruby, Annie, Henry, Jake and Williams.Other people too like Crystal, Suzuki and Christopher were the next most affected of the bunch.As they hadn't been as close, but their lives were greatly affected and change thanks to primarily Earl's contribution.All in all, Earl had made his input and image cemented into the minds of all of Wallace's first year students, and having neither him, nor Sidney around felt weird to the students.Even the teachers were affected, especially Soki and Mr Stevens, as both had close ties to Earl in one way or the other.And knowing the ORA for the reputation they had, they could only imagine the worse that could've happened to the two.The second years were affected as well, not all, but most, as their class rep'

Soki, Horace, Mr Stevens, Miss Kayla, Charlie, Cecilia, Mr Adams, Miss Edna and Borak we're all inside the principals office.All on their feet, except for Horace, who was seated in his chair, wearing a Japanese yukata.Soki wore no shirt, as usual, wearing a lot of beads, and only pants, being barefooted.Mr Stevens wore a red suit, without the suit jacket, with black shoes. Miss Kayla wore a black suit, with the jacket on.Charlie put on a huge coat, covering most of his clothing, letting only his blue shirt, Guci belt buckle, and brown pants, barely peek through, with black boots.Cecilia wore pants and a shirt, a very casual look, while both Mr Stevens and Miss Edna wore blue suits.They all had been discussing the current matter at hand for the past 4 hours.Although people like Mr Adams and Mr Stevens wanted to act off of personal emotions, Soki and the others managed to calm him down before that time.After talking about the plan, and making sufficient preparations, a final ver

As Earl slowly fluttered his eyes open, he felt a splitting headache and pains throughout his body, as his blurry vision slowly cleared up and as his face contorted from the pain, only one thing was clear to him.'... My.... Name..... My name..... My name is..... Earl..... Earl White..... My name is.... Earl White..... My name is Earl White...' thought Earl.As he tried moving his arm, he felt an immense pain, like a knife piercing his arm. It was so painful that a large grunt escaped from his mouth.'... What happened to me? Where am I? Who am I?...' though Earl as his vision finally cleared up completely.That's when he noticed his surrounding.He was laid on a hay, a huge stack of hay. Beside him was a small carriage, one that would normally be pulled by a horse carrying luggages.The wooden beams, the wooden door that was easy to open, the horse, pigs and dog that sat around him and the gaps between the planks told him where he was.He was in a barn, it at least in a place similar
