"Oh Shoot. Glad you're awake! I almost dragged you out of here." His dark brown eyes met a pair of hazzle eyes in front of him. The relief of seeing her friend back alive was written all over her face that overcame her fear and worriedness for him.From the corner of his eyes, the souls gathered around were visible for him, facing their backs from them as they discussed what they would do about him. But he didn't bother to give them a little more attention, because his mind was still fixed on the conversation he had with Selene, and his memories from there went back as soon as he met his old friend in front of him. "Before you go. I want to tell you another thing." "That sounds more serious than what you have let me see. What is it?" The curiosity made him stop and look back at her, meeting her ever so serious expression plastered on her face, with her eyes staring directly at him. "The one who came to save you, needs to be saved. Life and power is on the line. Help her before i

The Headmaster turned around and met Esther's troubled expression that was too obvious in all of her being. "You're a Seer, but you didn't foresee this. You 're already useless and it would be just fine if you die now." His grin widened, and Esther still couldn't calm herself. Her heart's beating even faster, and feeling so suffocated even in the wide space in front of the door. "No one would ever know if you die right here because no one knows your existence."He took a step closer towards her, and she took a step backward to get away from him."I remember you sneaking inside my office with no fear of being caught. Now look at you. You're so different. You're so white as snow, and you're filled with fear. And that's what I want to see on the faces of people I am killing." Esther started gasping for air and panic started crawling all over her body. She was being choked by something. She placed her hand on her throat to remove whatever was blocking her airway, but there was nothing

Just like what he had said, Elio Freyr was nowhere to be found for the past two days. No one knew where he was, or what he was doing. He didn't even attend any of his classes. No one had accidentally met him, nor bumped into him, there was just no trace of him around the Academy, however, it was just normal for the students to not see him at all because he did that for the past two years when he never showed himself in front of anyone in the Academy. Esther had been in the infirmary since the morning the next day, and that was when Elio Freyr had vanished from everyone's sight. She was brought there with Samson's initiation as what Elio had told him to do, and he was right because Madam Loury had found out about her dangerous situation. "Madam Loury, how is she?" Aislah walked through the door of the infirmary and found Madam Loury seated behind her office desk. It has not been long since she regained her full strength from what had happened when Elio went to the infirmary, but

Esther was on the floor, covering her mouth to stop herself from making another noise as she stared back at the person in front of her. She was about to step out of her room to see what was happening outside her curtains because the two who insisted on seeing it themselves hadn't come back yet. A man suddenly appeared in front of her out of nowhere, causing her to have no balance over her body that made her fall back on the floor. "Hello, dearest Seer." A wide smile plastered on the man's face sent shivers all over her body. There was recognition in her eyes as soon as she saw the man. "You know me, don't you? We once met, when you tried to save this body's soul." Esther removed her hand from covering her mouth as she tried to collect herself from being shocked over his sudden appearance. She knew him. He was one of the students that they had lured inside the Dot, and unfortunately, she couldn't help him to get out of there with the same soul residing on his body. And he was the

"Did you…""No." Esther collected herself after almost a minute of not breathing because of what Elio had said. She felt relief that it wasn't Elio, but the fear remained inside of her that she didn't know why. She knew that the statues were made to commemorate the ten students who were named as heroes of the past, but she was not sure why she got nervous the moment she heard the news. "I just saw it yesterday." Elio looked away as he remembered what had happened when he visited the Dot once again. He came back there alone, but an accident happened that he didn't mean to do. There was so much going on in Elio's life that he couldn't say anything to her besides the things that she knew about. He wanted to keep his mouth shut and do the things he could do alone without putting anyone in danger as he dug deeper into the reason why he came back to the Academy. But things were getting more complicated as he kept on discovering things that he had no idea about after the other. "You we
