Chapter 5 - Danger! (1)

When I came out of the endless room my mother was frantic, she was holding my brother's hand tightly. "Sweetie! What took you so long? You made mama worried, what did you pick for your relic?"

I brought out the Katana, my brother's eyes brighten up and my mother smiled. Only the headmaster didn't say anything. Her eyes locked deeply onto the katana, her hands slowly reached out to touch it, dodging her hands I moved away.

"Headmaster!" My mother said quite angry, " You should know the rules, you cannot touch a person relic without the consent of the other person. Have you no shame?"

I didn't mean anything when I moved away from her, the looks in her eyes just surprised me for a moment and unconsciously I moved away.

" Oh yes, pardon my rudeness I was quite captivated by the relic of the young master, forgive me, young master."

" No, it's fine," I moved closer to the headmaster, " but it seems you have something to tell me about my relic? "

" No, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just honestly captivated by it."

I wasn't going to give up, I hate it when people hide information about myself and the things I own. " Headmaster pardon my rudeness but looking at your advanced age I am quite sure you've already seen a lot of relics. Now if you don't come clean you will face the anger of the Elmendorf house. Do you understand?"

Mother was giving me the thumbs up on the side, my brother was giving me the nod of approval. I've found out that they were planning to engage me to the crown princess, they were 100% sure I was a male. In my coming of age ceremony so in two years when I am 8 they plan to make me the playmate of the crown princess. Oh, my tears, I tried bringing up that topic to my parents but they act as they've never had such thought before. I gave up on my parents.

Now back to where we were, " Headmaster?"

" Ah! yes, forgive me" Headmaster shudder and before she could start speaking she puked. She puked out blood from her mouth and her eyes, nose, and ears. My mother also collapsed down onto the floor, blood started to flow down her nose and eyes slowly. My brother screamed and I stood there. God! What am I to do? I panicked and zoned out. Not again, not another person... my loved one dying again. No! My inner demons took over me, everybody dies anyway why does it matter if she died. I felt the demons whisper to me. NO! Shut up, get out!

" Madame! Use me I can cut the connection of spells on their body, hurry." I pushed the inner demons aside and held the Katana in position. The sword was big so it was awkward with my size, if only it could shrink. I thought that and the Katana shrunk down to my size for me.

" Madame focus can you see the magic thread? Cut those threads."

I moved fast to cut the threads, they were darkish blue threads connecting to my Mother, Headmaster, my brother, and myself. I moved fast and skillfully, it was as if I was practically a master at using the katana. Now I've never held a katana until now.

After I was done I looked out the window in the room, I was petrified. There was a tremendous amount of darkish blue threads connecting in the sky. Oh no, my father was in danger! My instinct was telling me to rush to my father, I looked back at my brother. "Brother call the doctor! I have things I have to take care of."

Scared for my father I jumped down the window, oh how cool was I? My body felt so fast, it took the carriage two hours to arrive at the academy from home, but I got home in about fifteen minutes. " Father!" I screamed.

" Zeus? What are you doing here?"

I saw the darkish blue thread hovering around my father since my father was more powerful than most it took a long time for the thread to connect to him. Without answering him, I went ahead and cut all the threads around him.

" Zeus, what are you doing? Stop waving that Katana around it's dangerous and how are you so skillful at it?"

" Father! Listen it's an emergency "
