"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
"I need to go back to the Dot." Elio Freyr just got out of the Infirmary and back from his own room in the domiciliary. The students that caused commotion in the Infirmary woke up on their own beds there, and fortunately, they were already not in a state of manipulation when they woke up, and their wounds from their afternoon training were slowly healing with Madam Loury's help. "I am banning you from going there." Selene's voice occupied his mind as he was preparing to go back there, changing his clothes. "Why?" "You destroyed a statue, remember?" "I didn't. I told you it's an accident." "And I told you I will find the truth myself. You were just standing there behind the statue, not doing anything. And when you faced it, it started to fall. You used your telekinesis to ruin that statue, Elio Freyr. Don't try to fool me. And the book you're talking about has never shown itself to anyone for thousands of years already that it has become a myth." He could hear her annoyance wit
"We're still looking for her." Samson answered, without thinking of anything bad about her. "Here? I already looked for her here. But she's not around." Elio was not convinced, but he remained calm while trying to figure out if she was telling the truth or not. He was sure that the person in front of them was the same person who vanished just around the corner. "I've got a word that Esther was seen here. I'm just checking." Samson told her. Elio couldn't say a word and didn't want to. The movements around were getting closer and he could feel it from where he was standing. "You came here together? That's news."Their conversation was interrupted when students started to corner them in a circle. The three of them gathered in the middle, facing their backs with each other. "What's happening?" She asked. "Didn't you know about this, Thea?" Elio prepared himself for a possible attack, while he spoke to her. "How would I know? I just got here." "You were here earlier, you said."
"Your friends are here." The tension inside the room was getting exhausting, but Elio Freyr remained unbothered, not until he heard Selene's voice again in his mind. Furrows formed in between his brows as he kept his eyes on the people in front of him. "Get your friend out of that room, and I'll stop them from going after you if you don't want your other friends to be in danger as well." Elio Freyr heightened his senses to scan the place where his other friends were in the Dot. They had just walked past through the entrance of the Dot, and he can feel that four of her friends are there, going deeper through the place. Thea, Samson, Aiden and Aislah, as well as Esther, were all present in the Dot with him, and it was not a very good timing to be reunited with them while he was dealing with the ten students from the past. "His friends are here." Rio stated, with a grin plastered on his face. He was getting the hype out of the situation. "What a very good timing." Logan exclaimed
"Elio!" Aislah rushed towards him and kneeled beside him. The first thing that came to her mind is to cure him with her water. Samson got beside them and get Esther back to lessen the weight Elio was carrying. A drop of water was floating on Aislah's palm, getting bigger as seconds went by. When it was enough, the water floated towards Elio and came straight to his mouth. "You're over using your power." Thea and Ayden stayed in front of them and tied the two people towards the golden statues on their right. They were both tied using Thea's ice with spiky edges. However, they couldn't contain the other one just like the two. He can use teleportation, and he easily got away with them. "We need to get out from here. There were ten of them and we can't fight them all." Elio said as soon as he recovered a little. "What's really happening? Who are they?" "People who shouldn't be alive at this time. And they're coming. Let's go."Elio pulled himself up with Aislah's help. It was st
“Get up!” Ayden’s frustrated despair echoes around the enclosed black room. His anger is so evident in his eyes as he stares at the man lying on the floor. One side of the man’s lips is already bleeding. His body is full of bruises, yet he stays still, lying on the cold cemented floor. “I said get up, Elio, what the hell? Fight, you asshole.” There was no response from him despite everything that he had said. He was still lying there, not doing anything. His eyes were closed, and his breathing pattern was out of normal, but he still looked so fine even with his bleeding lips, and wounded face. “It’s been two years, man. You need to move forward. We all lost someone important that day, but look at us, we’re coping up. We’re trying.” Elio Freyr let out a little laugh that caused him to cough blood from his mouth. He turned to his left side and pulled himself up with all the strength left within him. “Now you’re laughing. How could you?” He watched him with furrows in between his
"Well Mr. Freyr, if I am just going to show off, I should've manipulated everything that people are seeing using my Light in order to hide our almost ruined town from the attack from two years ago."Elio Freyr broke their eye contact first and helped himself to sit on the bed in order to get away from her, fast. When the past is already the topic, the first thing Elio wanted to do is to run away, and that's what he did for the past two years of his life. "Running away won't solve anything." Madam Loury faced him and out of nowhere said those words that he didn't expect to hear. "And this is why running away is worth it because of people like you who doesn't know how to stop when you should be." Madam Loury's expression went flat, and after a while, she just shrugged her head and sighed. Elio Freyr really has a way to annoy and make the people around him feel so frustrated with and without using words."Drink this." A glass filled with green liquid appeared in her hand through a s
The rumbling thunder started to roar in the sky. Dark clouds were slowly crawling over the town of Vizca, making the place darker and colder. People on land were mesmerized by the sudden phenomena, watching the clouds as it covered their place. Birds were flying to different places, searching for a place to stay to avoid being in darkness. It was when a very strong lightning struck the open space on land, when the people outside their houses started to panic. It has never occurred to them that it might happen in their own place, but it was happening in front of their eyes. The lightning left a mark on the ground - two triangles intersecting with each other, one was inverted, forming a star, and in the middle, there was a circle with a little skull inside. Once they saw it, people already had an idea what was happening. Elderlies went outside their homes with the adults, while children were forced to get back inside and hide from there. Another lightning struck the land, as power
