The rumbling sounds of wheels grinding against each other like teeth twitched in a young man's ears and he looked up his eyes blinded by the sudden lights that were coming into his otherwise dark cell he took a huge generous gulp of air as he proved the chains that held his body in one position.
" I was wondering when you would finally come to see me father, the man who was leading the people who are coming down to the cell, froze at first then he spoke in a slow drawn-out voice but it got the message across anyway.
"you are not my son, you are a disgrace. I can't believe you came out of my loins …"
The young man began to laugh so loudly that the other people who joined his father and came down to see him in a cell were also shocked.
"How long has he been acting like this?"
The father asked everyone and nobody else in particular in the group and then it was a woman who spoke first as she adjusted her tight bun.
"He h
Crystal glass store at Miranda and saw that her mind was anywhere else but on the class that they were having now she was screaming at the back of her notes absentmindedly as the professor was teaching and then he gently patted her on her head until she was looking at him."Stay focused," he said to her while he was still open in front of him. She was not surprised when she looked like he had a lot of notes already written well. It was a surprise to her anymore because she knew that he was doing extra notes for both Rex and Lyra.Well, he had been doing it alone before but after she found out about it she insisted on helping him along since they were all friends she would take Rex's and then he would help Lyra with hers. However, she was not a very diligent student and it was already hard enough for her to take her own notes while she was often getting distracted by many things these days and talking less of also taking notes of another person.
Crystal did not know what Miranda was planning but he knew that you could trust her with the way she confidently invited the other boy and girl to join them for their fake lesson.So while they were waiting that half hour which turned out to be the longest half hour in their entire lives the boy and girl who introduced themselves as Paulina and Henry tried to get into a conversation with them and they tried their best to remain polite and blunt.They knew that the only reason why they were being so friendly was that they wanted to dig for information about them and nothing else but why they didn't want to be too obvious about the fact that he already knew that they were the spies because the professor will just end up changing them to another pair of students."You guys don't seem to be very chatty,'' the girl finally admitted and Crystal and her disguise were as cold as ice."Is there any need for us to be chatting with you guys we are
The arrival of the imperial wizards was at the next day was something that wouldn't be forgotten anytime soon by both the students and professors. Rex's friends had already made a plan that would hopefully at the very least ensure that his treatment wasn't cut off.Before going to their classes for the day, the duo Miranda and Crystal had come to see both of their friends and to tell them that the Prof that was taking them on their third class for the day had informed them that it was going to be a test."They really never like seeing us cats catching a break in this place ..." Lyra complained as she kept on stroking Rex's hand in a sort of mechanical repetitive manner."Lyra, don't you think that it would be good if you got discharged today and went to the class?" Miranda asked making sure that her tone was somewhat blank so that her words were not to be misunderstood."It probably would be, but I'll be staying here with Rex u
At that time Miranda and Crystal were now prepping for their test because the first Prof had to switch classes with the one who had a test for them meaning that any chance for revision went flying out the window and then Crystal watched Miranda's face age about thirty years as the Prof brought out the test papers."Crystal, I'm not ready ... well no need to worry when I have you, right ...?"She was about to reach for him when he casually pulled his hand away from her oncoming grasp and then a simple no passed his lips as he looked at her and she aged a few more decades her face becoming as pale as sheets."Crystal you can't be serious ..." She wailed as a quick glance at her back informed her that the Prof was already screening the papers for any error before she turned back to him to see that he was already heading to another seat after getting up from the one that they were sitting on before. She ran after him shooting ou
He had been walking for how long he didn't know but it feels like he her taking 1,000 steps and then in the corner of his mind a voice told him that it had only been two or maybe an insignificant number like that whatever it was his legs ache and begged to sit down and so his eyes began to search for a place that would promptly grant that request.But as he looked around everything was this blank whiteness without any shape or breath and he began to wonder how he had not noticed this before."Where is Lyra?" He suddenly thought to himself."... Miranda crystal too I can't see them anywhere,"He spun around wondering how he had totally forgotten about them as if his mind had been wiped clean of their memories but that couldn't be possible. Those three people were his closest friends. How could he forget them so easily? Then the staggering pain in his legs came back again however this time the search of his eyes was not in vain as it landed on a
"I have a feeling that the people who cook food for us in this university might have done a little practice in prisons just a suggestion…"Miranda said as she rested her body against a chair leaning back a little bit as she rubbed her stomach then she looked at the mountain of books that was covering the faces of two of her friends while the other one came from behind and patted her on the head."You will survive, just endure in a couple of months you will have some grizzled Old Duke or baron asking for your hand in marriage …"She immediately turned to him, slapping him on his side."Why does it have to be a grizzled Old Duke or Baron like that? Why can't he be a handsome prince or a noble night you're always so mean to me you know, Crystal?""I think that that is up for debate …" then he turned over to Lyra."Lyra … I don't want to drag you into this but come on, tell me the tru
The imperial wizard's visit left its marks in many ways, one of the most prominent ones was that the head wizard was removed from his position on account of him being responsible and mindlessly cruel to his students then also for the distortion of justice, some also said that they left the campus grounds with a huge metallic cage that contained something with very foul energy.Many suspected that it was Kelvin, however, their lives slowly returned to the regular cycle of classes and tests that the professors were sure was going to mould them for the best results that any generation has ever seen.At the end of one such class, naira easily traced him down and then untangled her arm with his in a casual swing that left both of their limbs in that situation. Rex just sighed in resignation, after the emerald battle and his recovery she had been clinging to him like a bee that had just noticed a freshly blooming flower, and when she held him there was this tight
Rex didn't even look amused by her challenge and just gave her the house there for at least three seconds that would have sliced through someone's ego several times before he finally said."Sorry but you are blocking the professor right now but at least you will be when he comes into your mind taking a seat?"And then she sat directly in front of him even though you would have preferred if she went just a few rows down.As she was sitting down it was difficult for her to turn her head but not impossible so she did so anyway despite how inconvenient it was for her to maintain that position and also for her friend who seemed to be copying her emotions as if he didn't have any of her his own."Like I was saying before ..."She said pretending as if she was not in an extremely uncomfortable position at that moment."I would like to have a duo duel with you …"Rex who was flipping open his book wasn't even li
Rex and his Friends woke up to an unexpected surprise one day, Crystal had disappeared when they went to Miranda's uncle to report he said that Crystal had willfully dropped out of school."Without telling us?'Miranda had all but cried out, the rest of the team was also gripped with a shock that he would just get up and leave."This is just what I hate about him, the jerk is always scared of being a burden … that's probably why he ran away!" Then she began to sob and then Lyra placed a comforting hand on her shoulder even though she felt like crying herself Rex could not be here to see his friends like this all know that one of them was gone so he turned to the Head wizard and asked if there was any way he could give them Crystal's location. He looked pensive about this for a moment for when he saw how dismayed his niece was he finally gave them the information that they were looking for and even prepared a carriage for them along with a letter that would permit them to miss class
"Pathetic, and you call yourself a noble!" This was something that Miranda had gotten used to being told every single day of her life from the moment that she had been born that she was a failure that would one day disgrace the family and she was pathetic. All these things that they her she swallowed like a sponge and I've solved it into her life so before she would even make an attempt at learning anything the first thing that would come to her mind was; failure. She tried to hide it by talking loud and acting as if it didn't affect her even though she would immediately talk about how she was sure somebody was looking down on her. On the night before her departure to the magical Jerard University, her father called her into his study and then he briefed her on a lot of things one particularly stood out."I'm taking you to a Uni, where even someone as pathetic and useless as yourself cannot fail…high scores are practically dished out to nobles, the only thing that you have to do
Lyra awkwardly held a cup of water towards her friend Miranda look at it for five straight seconds and see if she had all the secret of magic sunk in the water she was trying to dig it out with her eyes it was when Lyra a little bit to grab her attention that she's slightly tilted or her eyes and then it fell back to the water before her and finally carried themselves up and reached for the cup. "Thank you," she said, not even slightly higher than a whisper before she carefully shipped it as if she was testing it for poison, then she placed it on her lap and became as still as a statue once again before she had been given the cup of water.She has been acting like this ever since she heard the news."It doesn't make any sense …" she finally managed to say after some more seconds of silence as if she had been thinking deeply about what next to say and that was all she could come up with as she robbed t
"When are you finally going to tell us?"A lot of other things happened and now night time had come Crystal's roommates had not returned back and so they had a lot of privacy to talk in his room when workers are going to see him that night he had been resting on his bed with his eyes planted on the roof as if he was reading a note that had been waiting for him there, but then when he heard the knocking it was concentrating not even answering at all before he finally stood up and did so.On the other side story his friend with a worried expression that was masked with a smile as he walked in and then they talked about other things as if Crystal had not mentioned that really dire one in the head wizard's office.He thought he will be able to pretend for a long but eventually, he could no longer pretend anymore that something like this was not going to happen and so he spoke asking Crystal if he was ever going to tell them."At first
Laura felt herself being abruptly woken up from her slumber by her friend and then without being told she could so that there was pandemonium in the air and instinctively stood up and followed him as they both rushed into the head results of his to see what was going on that was causing such a pandemonium.I went they worked in it was as clear as day even though they wished that it wasn't, the chair with the head wizard normally sat was scattered all over the ground as if it had been disassembled to be arranged again, the head wizard himself is panting frantically and then he turned to see Lyra and Rex."Miranda stop your friends are in the office now,""Then they should step out …" she replied without looking back."You always do this to me, you are always picking on me for no good reason because the truth is that you blame me …"Lyra and Rex were looking at each other with shock and confusion thickly pa
"Have you eaten today?" Those were the first words that she ever said to him and the first time they had ever been that close he used to see her before in places around campus surrounded by a couple of friends. Sometimes they were more, sometimes to be less but each time she spent on them like there was no tomorrow.The questions that came from her lips were so peculiar, that he had to lift his head and look her up in the eyes when normally he would have just kept his eyes planted on his book without even sparing high class since he was just that unenthusiastic about people."I'm sorry what?"She placed her hands on her hips and repeated her question as if there was nothing out of place for one stranger to ask another if they had eaten."I don't see how that's your business"Crystal never got the chance to complete that blunt sentence before his stomach growled loudly in the lecture Hall but luckily for him most
Crystal paused for a few breaths as he was climbing up the stairs that would later lead to the hallway that would further lead into the head wizard's office. "What kind of trouble has that girl gotten into now?" He mumbled under his breath as he kept walking faster and faster even though his body was really against it he remembered the words of the healer wizard that had treated him. "You have a very weak constituency …" the healer wizard, who was even blunter than he deadpanned, the healer wizards were known as the most unsympathetic type which was kind of ironic because their job was mostly treating others that had been injured. But then again it fits perfectly for the job because they are passiveness to many emotions such as empathy made it easier for them to function in their job without constantly breaking down or worrying much, however, this was still an ethic of their work that made people very reluctant to go towards them because of how emotionless they were. "I already k
Two days flew by in the blink of an eye the only thing that made me feel drugged was the fact that Miranda and Crystal had not settled their issues rather they are the most even sat down to table the fact that they had issues at all and so the chances of them even having to talk about not settling the issues had not even come yet. In the meantime, crystal seem to be isolating himself from the entire group altogether and then there was Miranda trying to love-bomb them from the way things appeared, she would buy them all sorts of lavish gifts as if she was trying to burn out her entire allowance before the session would even end and most of the time they had to return the gifts or at least try to. Her response to this was to squint her eyes cross her hands and then glare at them as if she was waiting for the fire to burst out of those eyes."Where are both of you being so fussy it's just a couple of gifts, the polite thing would be to accept them and just say thank you." It would h
A clash between Miranda and Crystal was not something that the group had ever really expected to happen, even though Crystal was naturally blunt to everyone including Miranda, there was a special kind of patience that you have for all the members of his team, especially Miranda. He will take care of her as if she was her arranged guardian or something like that, no matter how much she seem to have done something that would have normally irked him, but it appeared as if he had been holding back a lot of feelings for a long time and does bottle of feelings are finally exploded in the outburst that happened in the healer's building.Miranda on her own part was expecting him to have an abyss full of patience for her and when he didn't meet that expectation she also flared up as well.Honestly, they both said hurtful things to each other but the only issue now is who was going to put his or her pride away first to apologize and save the friendship. But it didn't look like it was going to
