Jay still stunned in awe and Daisy still smiling to herself gleefully. "You guys okay?" I asked uncomfortable with the silence.
"How are you not excited? It's not every day you get meet and shake the hand of an S ranked student and on top see them in action!" Jay replied to me with a giant smile of his face, "One day I wish I could be as strong as him.... that storm... it was truly amazing!" he said staring into the sky in awe.
"Daisy???.... How do you know Paul?" I asked in curiosity.
"Yeah..... A few years ago he saved me and set me on a different path." She said with a smile.
"Is ever one here okay??....anyone in need of medical attention? A group of guards shouted running towards is.
"We are okay here." The deputy head teacher shouted towards us.
One guard broke off from his group and began approached us, "are you okay miss?." One guard said approaching me taking off his helmet revealing a young man with short blonde hair.
"I'm good." I replied smiling.
"It was quite a miracle that the thunderstorm came to save us." He said nervously his helmet clattering with his armor a little.
"Yeah..... We were quite lucky." I replied.
"So…....ummmm do you live around here?....." he asked looking to the side away from my eyes.
"No sorry but I am currently a student of Atlantis." I replied with a smile.
"RECRUIT!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING??? GET BACK HERE!!! WE STILL HAVE THE REST OF THE CITY TO SECURE!!!!!" A manly voice yelled from the distance.
"Sorry but I need to get going..... It was nice to meet you!!!! I'm Brian by the way." He said jogging back to his regiment and waving me goodbye.
"Someone has an admirer.." Daisy said nudging me with her elbow.
"He was just doing his job guys..." I said paying no attention to her childish behaviour.
"Yeah of course Daisy.... he came all the way here .... Away from his regiment just to check if Emilia was okay...." he explained to her laughing.
"Now you guys better watch what you're saying! Or I'll shoot fire at you!" I jokingly threatened them pointing my wand at them, causing them to chuckle holding their hands up playing along.
"By the way!!!! Congratulations on your first spell!" Jay said giving me a hug. "See nothing to worry about you're a natural!" he said smiling.
"You cast your first spell?!" Daisy said joining in the hug congratulating me.
"Children it's time for us to go now....." the Deputy Head shouted to all of the students. As a blue portal appeared back to the school. "Ohhh and make sure you visit the infirmary if you're hurt or want a check-up." She said as the students made their way through the portal.
We began making our way towards the portal, I noticed the charred remains of the Wyverns littering the town square, as the town's folk slowly made their way back to their shops and homes to inspect the damage. Thanking the gods that a miracle occurred that saved us. Children quickly rushing to the remains poking them with sticks and throwing rocks at them.
"Emilia... can I borrow something from you??" Daisy asked me as we were walking.
"Sure what do you need??" I replied.
"Could I borrow your Scrying orb?" she asked.
What's that?...." I replied a little confused.
"It's one if the things Paul gave you in the bag.... I explained it to you back at my aunt's place." She answered.
"Ohhh sure...." I replied feeling into my bag and pulling out a very large pearl white orb and passing it to her.
"I'll use it once we get back to Atlantis." She said smiling pushing it back to me.
"Okay no worries, what does it do again?" I asked as I put it back in my bag.
"When someone concentrates on the orb thinking of someone they have seen before, the orb will give you a small vision of them and where they are.... it will make total sense if you use it." She answered me.
"Ohhh... okay....." I answered. "Maybe can use it to see Caroline..." I said quietly.
"Who's Caroline?" Daisy asked.
"She was a girl I met but she got enrolled to the Fighting Pits" I answered her.
"Ohh no… I hope she's okay..." Daisy said with a frown.
"Me too….." I replied walking through the portal.
Appearing in the same part of the school we left, "So what do we do now?" I asked Jay and Daisy.
"Hmm that is for today I think, lessons will start tomorrow though, which will be super exciting" Jay Said.
"Hmmm so what do people do in their spare time here?" I asked.
"Study and practice magic I assume." Jay answered me.
"Ohhhh Ohhh I got an awesome idea!!!! You guys wanna take a sneak peek into Paul's Dorm room?" I excitedly suggested.
"CAN WE??!!!!" Daisy squealed jumping in anticipation with a giant smile.
"Although it would be super cool….. Are you sure it's gonna be okay?" Jay the cool and collective one was a tad hesitant.
"Yeah I'm sure it will be okay, besides aren't you interested, he might have some cool spell books!" I answered them my offer peeking Jays interest a little, agreeing we began walking towards the dorm buildings, making our way up the spiral staircase to the 8th floor. Let's be quiet, I'm not sure if you guys are allowed up here…." I said waiting before opening the giant doors.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Jay whispered speaking extremely quickly with a hint of panic.
"Jay chill… it will be alright…. We won't be there for long…." Daisy whispered with a smile on her face ready to help me open the doors. "Let's go!" she whispered and began opening door slowly.
Silently opening the door, we entered the hall way, I held up two fingers to them then pointing at the middle door. They both nodded and we all began slowly creeping towards the door. I could feel my heart pumping faster and faster.
Arriving at the door I gently placed my ear on it, I tried to listen for any sound coming from the inside, both Jay and Daisy also placed their ear on the door, we all stood there silently for several seconds listening intently for any sound. We all left the door at the same time, both me and Daisy was nodding yes with giant smiles! Daisy nodding way more frantically then I, and jay began frantically swiveling his head no.
I began reaching out to the door wrapping my hands around the door handle, Jay quickly grabbed my hand firmly swiveling no with a look of seriousness in his eyes. I responded by nodding yes and began turning the door handle slowly.
"Click" the sound of the door handle made, causing us all to freeze. I waited hoping that the sound didn't alert anyone if there was someone inside. Daisy placed her ear on the door listening for any sound, giving me the okay sign after a few seconds.
Edging the door open slightly, I began peering through the gap to see if anyone was home, Daisy also crawling under me to check through the gap. Looking down at her satisfied that no one was home, we nodded to each other.
Slowly we began opening the door a little more enough for us to stick our head through and take a better look. Jay began frantically tapping us on the back, still trying to tell us no. Ignoring him me and Daisy popped out head in to take a better look. It defiantly looked like no one was home, looking down at Daisy both our faces lit up with glee as we began to open the door fully slowly.
Daisy slowly standing up I held up an open palm to them, as I slowly crept in to make certain no one was in. Taking a good look around I was satisfied our infiltration was successful I turned to them giving them the okay sign. Without hesitation Daisy and Jay began walking in, when suddenly a loud bang and a white flash erupted from the door, forcing me to cup my ears as a ringing sound reverberated in my ears also blinding in the process forcing my eyes to slam shut.
Struggling to keep my eyes to open, I began trying to make my way back to them, the intense ringing in my ears messing with my balance I stumbled hard onto the floor, getting up on all fours I tried to quickly crawl my way back out the door. With my vision slowly recovering, it looked as if Daisy and Jay were flung back from the blast, "DAISY? JAY?" I tried to yell out to them the door slowly began closing between us.
As my vision became clearer, I could see trickles of red and a small pool underneath them. 'FK is that blood?', "HELP!" I began yelling out, "WAKE UP GUYS!!" I desperately yelled out trying to get up and reach them.
Finally getting to my feet I made a race against the door staggering towards it before it closes. Missing my opportunity by a millisecond, my shoulder slammed straight into it causing a pain to shoot along my arm. Reaching down to twist the handle, suddenly the handle wouldn't turn. Desperate I began using both hand I began trying to twist and pull the door open but it wouldn't budge as a blue circular rune drew itself in the middle and worked its way around the edge. I began banging on the door, "JAY? DAISY?! ARE YOU OKAY?!" I kept yelling through the door.
'FK!!!! WHY DID WE DO THIS STUPID THING????!!! Full of anger I grasped the door handle with both hands and closing my eyes I began pulling, something felt strange in the motion when suddenly I felt something give 'OMG IT WORKED!' Quickly opening my eyes, all I saw was the door handle in my hands and a hole in the door where the door handle used to be.
