Alhyssa's StandpointI feel the cold breeze hugging my whole body and dramatically blowing the pastel purple highlights of my hair beautifully. I am currently on the top floor of the girls' residential hall, standing on the center balcony that is connected to a hallway, and happily observing the view of the campus. As I stand here, my eyes scan the surroundings, taking in every detail of it, and in this tranquil moment, I cannot help but appreciate the beauty and serenity of the world around me. I gaze at the tall trees in front of the building that seem to be dancing as they sway with the wind. I shift my gaze to the vast space of the grassy open field, surrounded by numerous waiting sheds that are vacant. On the side are freshly bloomed flowers in which delightful and sweet scents permeate the air. Multiple students can be seen bustling through the campus grounds; others walk side by side, chatting animatedly, their laughter echoing through the pathways. What a sight to behold. This

Everyone has all eyes on her. Her mouth-dropping aura is a bomb. Heck! How can she be both charming and cold at the same time?"It's ridiculous to act like a fangirl in situations like this, right?" Venice murmurs, keeping her eyes on Thania and addressing her questions to me and Blair."Definitely," I agree with a nod, while Blair giggles quietly.Thania moves forward, making the captain look anxious. He fakes a cough twice, then bows his head. There are only around half of his guards who are still standing up. The rest are lying on the ground, enduring their wounds."Good day, My Lady! We are just trying to inform you that we found these students…escaping your premises," he says nervously. I step forward to stand beside Thania. The aliens seem to be admiring her so much, too. Thania just stares at the city guards' captain for a while, making him even more nervous."We will now leave, My Lady. Thank you," the captain says politely while lowering his head and gulping twice."Let me re

"But he's smart enough to play with your emotions," Blair cut her quickly."Look, I am not trying to be a villain here, but we have people to protect. I will set them off tonight before they make a move against us," Blair adds."But you cannot go out there and put yourself at risk of opening the dimension where a lot of city guards can kill you at any moment," Venice fires back."So, what now? Are you suggesting we kill Jax and those other mortals? Can you, Venice? Which death do you want them to take? To be killed by our own hands? Or to be killed by the Prime Lady and we watch them helplessly because we can do nothing just to protect our positions?" Blair asks. It is upsetting for sure, but Blair seems to be more worked up than any one of us.Thania moves, distracting us. We look at her and wait for her to speak."Hold the enemy captive," Thania says in a ruthless voice. This time, it is Venice who looks tense.We stayed silent for a while, absorbing Thania's decision. I have nothin

I immediately sat down due to exhaustion."Now, what? How do we leave here?" Damon asks as he sits on a small sofa near the door. We all look at each other, waiting for someone to answer Damon's question."I think we'll just have to rest now. Let's spend the night here," Quinn responds."That's a good idea. But how about Beauty? This place is not safe and she's alone there," Damon asks. We look at Lorde to ask for his opinion, but he just plays with his fist, lost in his thoughts. We all draw a deep breath."I guess we don't have a choice now. Judging from the height of their gates, I think we will have a hard time escaping from here," I reply instead."Aside from that, they have hundreds of guards," Quinn adds. In the end, we agreed to stay the night. Due to exhaustion, we do not realize that we fell asleep immediately.#At seven o'clock, a loud alarm disturbs our sleep. After the loud ring, a speaker announces."Students, it is time for dinner. Please proceed to the dining area." T

The sun is about to set, and we are here, gathered in our room. Beauty, who is sitting and resting her chin on her hands, is also with us. We are waiting for Quinn, who went out and said he would go to the library. He ventures to find information on how we can get out of here. We feel worried that he is out because we believe this school is not safe. Those Valencias are monsters. Soon the door opens, and Quinn enters. I almost did not recognize him because he tied his hair loosely with yarn."Are you fine?" Beauty sincerely asks. Quinn nods his head and goes straight to the table. He shows us a small book and says, "I found this."It is brown. There is written text on the cover page. The book looks old because the letters are no longer clear, but it can still be read. It says "Kingdom of Guhya". The text is written in large bold type, so I can tell it is just a short text."Have you read it?" Beauty inquires."Not yet. Why? Do you want to read it first?" Quinn asks in return."Oh, no.
