Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 8: A Place Called Dot
A spiral staircase welcomed them behind a hidden door from the library. It has floating candles that light up the narrow space of the staircase through the way down. The four spirits of the library started walking down in front of Elio, while he and the leader were still both on top of the staircase behind the door. "This place is hidden for a reason. You'll know that when we get there." "How do I know that you won't kill me?" Elio's eyes were fixed on the candles floating in the air, amazed to see them right in front of him. "We need you, as I had said. And that alone is enough reason for you to believe me. Now follow me." The spirit pulled the door behind him to close it. As soon as he did, the candles' lights became brighter, as the light that was coming from the library was gone. He and Elio started taking steps down the staircase, carefully watching every step they were taking. "This place was built alongside the library. But now, only the spirits know its existence." "Wh
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 9: The Heart of the Academy
The almost everlasting hallway from the right side of the place has become so dark. No candles or torches were around to provide them light as they stroll towards the end of it. Elio Freyr has mastered the act of seeing in the dark for his life from two years back, but the darkness that was surrounding them was too different from that. The force surrounding the place has never been felt that strong, but as they walked towards the end of the hallway, the energy that filled up the place became stronger, but they kept moving forward abandoning that feeling inside them. A door at the end of the hallway was nearing, which meant that the force had even become stronger, but Elio Freyr held back and continued walking with the five spirits of the library towards it. "Cover your eyes when I open the door, if you still want to see clearly after." There was a button-like stone just on the left side of the door that was mounted on the wall. It was a size of a normal hand of a human, and it h
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 10: Honest Reason
"They lured you here so they can take your body and be alive again." Elio Freyr was watching the souls inside the Dot in silence. They were still fighting for his body which was lying on the ground near the podium helplessly. "I need this body." The leader said in his authoritative voice, far from the way he was talking when Elio was around. It was too powerful and too proud."We already talked about this. We agreed that I'll be taking over next, don't we? This is so unfair, Rio." "We did. But things do change Morgan. And we also agreed that if I want to get a specific body, you will give it to me no matter what and when." "That's not what we agreed to. We made an order on who would go next and we need to stick with that." The one whom the leader called Morgan said, trying to make his point. "Who are they, really?" Elio Freyr could not contain all the questions inside his head, as there were just so many of them that were lingering in his mind. "In your History books, they are t
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 11: One of Them
"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
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 12: The Headmaster
“One of those souls took over his body just months before you came back. He's the reason how I found this place and the other souls.""Can he see you?" "No."An old man with white mustache and gray hair, standing taller than the both of them, stopped just two meters away from the two. "This is the very last place you would wish to be in, Mr. Freyr.""Am I in trouble?" Elio doesn't seem to be too concerned about what he got himself into and who he was facing, with his still blank face and soulless eyes directly staring at him. He's great inspiration for what expression he chose to use might be the fact that he knew that he isn't the real Headmaster. "You are. But the lucky thing is that I found you, not anybody else." "How do you say it's luck?" "Because I am the Headmaster of this Academy, Mr. Freyr, if you happened to forget.""Then why is it luck when you are the Headmaster? I should be in so much trouble because you're the highest person in this place. Did you happen to forget
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 13: Leaving Dot
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
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 14: Visible
"Esther?" A sudden voice calling her made her stop as she walked past by one of the bookshelves in the library. Her mind was still busy thinking about what had happened earlier, and how Elio reacted while delivering her the news. It was all still fresh in her memories, but everything went away when someone called her name. "Wait, Esther. Are you really… Holy crap!" The woman appeared from the other way between the shelves and continued walking towards her. The lady covered her mouth with both of her hands. Her eyes got a little too watery, as she stared at Esther who was not moving in her place. Esther was confused, and was frowning at the sight of her friend in front of her. She was dumbfounded about her who suddenly bawled her eyes out while covering her mouth. "Cassiopeia, what's happening there?" One of their friends called, coming from the other side of the library on the second floor. "Esther." The man stopped in front of Esther, beside Cassiopeia, and just like Esther, h
Elio Freyr: Burn Thy Wounds Chapter 15: Signs and Logos
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

"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

Chapter 22: Rescue
"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

"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."

Chapter 20: Missing
"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

Chapter 19: A Floating Book
"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

Chapter 18: Poisoned
Esther rushed to the place where Elio was, and behind her was Aislah and Ayden who were both dumbfounded on what was happening to her. They were concerned that Esther might harm Elio now that he's weak, because of what he did towards him, however, they both knew that Esther is not capable of doing that, especially to her friends. Students were on the floor with no consciousness and they just walked past them. Madam Loury on the other hand, was seen looking for something in front of the stall where the medicines are located. No one stopped to help her, instead they all went directly towards where Elio was. Esther pushed the curtains to the left, revealing Elio lying on the bed. The little drops of sweat on his face were getting their attention as they walked inside his place. He really looked like he was in total pain, but Esther had already anticipated seeing that once he came back. The three stood beside his bed, looking at him with concern, but Ayden's expression seemed a litt

Chapter 17: A Visit
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

Chapter 16: Group Manipulation
"The training's done. You should go. Many students will be here soon." Madam Loury slid the paper back in her drawer and pushed her swivel chair away from the desk, enough to make space so she could stand up. "I'll visit Esther first, and I'll leave after." Aislah stood up from her chair and made her way towards her friend. She entered an all white space behind the curtains which Esther's mind had created. The room was filled with green plants near the windows, others were hanging around the corner, while her bed was in the middle of the white space room. It was too calming and peaceful inside, which she actually needed the most. Esther was sitting on her bed when Aislah arrived, while Ayden was sleeping on the other bed next to hers, resting, as he had been with her since midnight. "Hey. Is everything alright?" She looked up to see Aislah coming for her. Esther looked so anxious and worried about something as she played with her nails on her hands, trying to calm herself. "T
