At World's End Entry 87
The cadets looked nervous as they walked through the wall of fog.However their clever use of a formation was good enough, if at least to ensure that those that were more likely to be attacked first would be spared a few minutes of respite.As they surveyed their surroundings, they soon laid eyes on the empty husk of the Otherworldly that Reginald, Leah and Isabella had worked together to kill.They were stunned for a brief moment before they realized just what it was.A few gasped in admiration while others couldn’t help but turn to us, awed that we could kill an Otherworldly.Richard obviously noticed their reactions and didn’t miss the opportunity to make a statement. “As you can see, even though we are just cadets, we can still take care of the severely weakened Otherworldly that the Dreamer in it’s post-sealed state could summon.“So there’s no need to fear. We can win.”His speech ended on a high note and even I was moved slightly.Whether it was because of his overflowing chari

(Daryl’s POV)It wasn’t too long ago that I left them.The terror I felt after experiencing the crevice and the wall of fog was too much for me to bare.I could have collapsed mentally if I hadn’t left that place.Yeah, they might call me a coward.A betrayer for not going ahead but who could blame me?Unlike those talented ones, I have nothing.That fog clearly held death for us so why would I leave the comfort of the valley to attempt that crevice?Isn’t that the same as suicide?I might die here but… at least it won’t be painful.I won’t have to scream and shout out in agony.I could just close my eyes and die.Yeah, that’s better than going into that crevice.I hate it.I hate that I have to make such a decision.They might say that as a cadet, I was bound to face Otherworldly but who said I wanted to face them?The only reason I entered the academy was because of my mother.She had made a deal with a certain high ranking member of one of the 12 Great families.After ravishing her

(Daryl’s POV)The fire gutted everything in sight, reducing it to ashes.But strangely enough, it didn’t burn down completely.It was like a visual illusion but it seemed so real.The burning tents and bodies remained in a state where even though it looked like there was nothing more to burn, there was still so much more to burn.A perpetual state of burning.I gripped my shoulders as I shuddered while at the same time taking yet another step back.“Ah!” there was a scream not too far away from me.Based on the high pitch, it was obviously a girl.I expected the terror, after all, not only her but even the others had began to break down at the horrifying sight.However, her next words were what took me out and shook me to my very core.I’ll say this now… I never expected her words and yet even though I didn’t expect it, it felt vaguely familiar to me.“We… they are our fellow cadets!” she screamed at the top of her lungs.I stared in disbelief as I realized that she was right.Why?Be

(Daryl’s POV )EaahhhYet another blood curdling cry rang out as I kept running.How many would that make it now?Five?... Six?I couldn’t be sure.What I knew however was that for each scream that rang out, it meant yet another cadet had fallen into the hands of what used to be our fellow cadets, which had now turned into tar monsters that hunted us.The Dream was indeed a disgusting creature.After all, why couldn’t it attack us by itself or even use other creatures to attack us?Didn’t they say that the Dreamer could manifest other Otherworldly lower than it in ranking into it’s Nightmares?So why didn’t it do that, instead, the fucking bastard decided to use our own friends to hunt us down.It was most likely as a gag.A joke.Not only did it reveal to us that we were fools to think that we had figured it out.That we had been playing into the palm of it’s hands all this time.It also decided to show us our futile our attempt to escape was.This is so pathetic, so freaking patheti

(Daryl’s POV)It was unfortunate.Truly unfortunate… for the cadet that I just kicked though, not me.Hehe, the idiot thought he could outsmart me?He must be crazy!How dare he think to come for me?Which was why as my heel connected with his jaw, I had a bright smile on my face.Of course, my leg had screamed at impact since I was still hurting but I didn’t care.As long as the tar monster was occupied, I’d be able to escape.The bastard had a wrong expression on his idiotic face as he fell into the arms of the tar monster.He seemed on the verge of tears but before he could let out a sound, the creature impaled him through the chest.A pained scream rang out from the fool as he held the black stake protruding from his chest.I blinked at the scene at which point I caught from the corner of my eyes the bewildered expression of a fellow cadet.I recognized her.She was the one that had come up to me to inform me how I was the reason they managed to survive the crevice.Now not only d

It was hard to keep running for hours on end without being able to catch your breath for even a single moment with danger on all sides.But that’s exactly what we were experiencing at this moment.At first, it was exciting…No, what the fuck am I saying?It wasn’t exciting.From the start till now, we have been chased with our lives on the line.Just a single slip up and we’d all end up dead.We couldn’t even bother to worry about the others as our own lives were at stake.Honestly I’d have preferred if it were only the spider monkeys.It would have been so much better but then again, the Dreamer doesn’t want us to escape, no matter what.I didn’t expect it to react so strongly to us escaping but come on, where the hell is it getting so much energy from?Ugh, this is driving me nuts.BoomJust then a rough sound exploded at the side, revealing the walls changing again.Due to the abrupt change, we were forced to take an abrupt turn and it was at that moment that everything went to shit

With a broken heart, I slowly raised my head up to look at the one that struck me.A female cadet with brown hair cut in a bob and a boyish physique.Her skin was fair and her eyes were brown.Of course at this moment, her fair skin was quite red, especially her face and her brown eyes were bloodshot.It looked like she had been crying.I pursed my lips unsure of what to say as she glared at me.Her breathing was heavy and her arm was still stretched out, having not drawn it back after hitting me.Just like that we stood facing each other with our eyes clashing.Several seconds passed before I attempted to speak but just as I opened my lips… smack… she struck me again.This time it was the back of her palm and it hit harder than the first.In fact, I think I tasted blood.Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself and pulled myself together to face her.“I…”“Bastard!” she screamed at my face.“I…”“Liar!”“I…”“Betrayer!”I kept silent as it was clear she wouldn’t allow me speak.But even

Leah walked up to Justina and went on her knees before wrapping her arms around the latter.It was a touching scene… it was also a very painful one.I’d have never thought I’d hate myself as much as I did at this point.But I felt that way and it was all because of my stupidity.I led these guys into this place and caused the death of several.I can’t take that back and no matter what I say now, it’s pointless.I made the mistake and now I have to pay for it.That’s how it’s meant to be.Taking a deep breath, I made my decision and without hesitation, gazed at the crowd.From 120, we had reduced to a little over 90+. It was crazy.Absolutely crazy.From… wait, how many first year cadets went on the excursion?I glanced at Richard. “Hey.”“Is there a problem?” Richard still seemed shook at how Justina had shot him down.I guess he wasn’t used to such things happening.Oh please, suck it up!No need to be such a drama queen.Hmmph… oh yeah, I wanted to ask something just now.What was i
