"Yeah. Father. Why wouldn't you want anyone ruining the Surpise?"
"Kain, I...what are you doing?"
"If that in fact is the Surprise."
"Elwin told us we can be here par her request, but since I couldn't stock the shelves myself; I am having these Kids help me fill this School with books.
The only books this school has is a Library, and nothing else. Personally, I think that that is completely outrageous. How are they able to get Kids to focus when there's nothing to entertain them b..."
"CAUSE THIS was a Hospital...…..Not a School, Father. There was no need for books, when they were too busy training their powers."
"Then help me train the new era of Fighters."
"What ever are these books?
Elwin wants this place to house all Kids to learn about each and everyone of us. Learn our trades; our secrets, and in turn; unlock their own secrets.
But when she said 'ALL KIDS', I don't think she meant 'ALL KIDS' will be learning from the 'same Textbook'; about the 'same Kingdom'; and all unlock the 'same power' together."
"You never know."
"You claiming I don't know the woman I love?
She wants all Magic living, breathing, playing, and exploring the same halls. Running up and down not a care in the world; while the threat is out there; people in here can be safe.....protected.
People say Schools feels as though it is a barrier to the outside world and everything that happens is unaffected by the Kids in a classroom; so in a sense.....that's a good thing. A Safe Haven. A….."
"GUARDS!!!!!!!!!!
Kain, don't forget your place. The reason why I had you sent in was to play lovey lovey with Ruby...….NOT…..*Tish*....Elwin.
And then when the moment struck; you were tired of sitting on the outs. You remember that conversation you had with me? You wanted to be let in the know how. Be able to change the layout on your own. Remember that?
….Well, today is our opportunity. Kain, you are my son; and you belong to me. Not this Kingdom. The only one that loves you is I."
"You're lying."
"Am I?"
"Tell me...….who here loves you?"
"Surely not Darius. He is too busy on his own. The Kids follow Ruby, and if she says you're fishy...…..that means you're fishy.
Elwin, she...…*Haaaaaaaa*.....Young love...….IT'S STUPID!!!!!!"
"Father?"
"It's blinding you from taking your place. You wanted an opportunity, and now you have it. Here, take this book from my hands and place it in that Kids desk over there. Go on...Nobody will know.
Elwin wants to install cameras, but they're not even here yet. I won't tell."
"....No."
"No?"
".....No.
I will not posion these Kids with our teachings. This school is meant to practice magic of all kinds; free from the pressure of others. Here is a place they can destress, and not be taken over.
So if Elwin says you could come drop off some books, then why haven't any of the other Kings and Queens done so as well already?
I would just rather hear it from her lips as to what we should do...and not yours."
"Does Elwin even know what to do?"
".....I…..uh....No...…..But that doesn't stop her from figuring it out. That is why we are together. Nobody can figure out anything alone. She wants to pile together all our Backbone; our Heritage; our Traditions; and use that to shape Kids. Not todays..."
"Todays what?
You saying we have drifted away from our Heritage as well? We have drifted from what has made us us?
Kain, what do you think I even teach these Kids all day, huh?"
".......Definetly not the truth."
"KIDS...…..Stay.
…..And implore me, what is the truth?"
"Only by working together will we pull through. The Majority grows more and more everyday, and we're not helping by arguing amongst ourselves everyday. The only way they can grow bigger is if we grow smaller."
"Pool our resources then?
….Put all our strength in one place...….the Kids.
If we do that, then we too will grow.
*Gulp*
...….Then why hasnt it worked for Elwin?"
"Huh?"
"She wants to see this School grow. She wants to Awaken people. She wants them to be a better verison of themselves. Get stronger. Faster. Better. Smarter. Love yourself, you'll love others. You will mount on wings like Eagles. You will walk and not grow weary. You will run and not faint; if you stick with others.
If that's the case...…then why is she getting weaker the more she unlocks her 'true' powers?
If that's the case, won't the Kids also get weaker? Whoooooooooo. I don't think their parents aren't going to like that. Bye bye Investors; hello lawsuits."
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"Kids; put those books in faster. Maybe the Majority is right."
"Excuse me?"
"This School does need to shut down. Not for the safety of me, nor the safety of uncovering the past; but the safety of uncovering the future. The safety of these Kids.
…These...… Kids, Kain. Think about that. Untested Cures; Awakenings that go wrong; Rises to power.....I mean, what else is there that I haven't named? Too many people at the top; they will start to turn on each other like cats and dogs. Come with me, and I will spare you."
"...You're not stepping on my toes ever again."
"....Fine. Just go ahead and burn for all I care. Take your precious Elwin with you. LOVE….IS BLINDING YOU, KAIN. And with it, so too will it others."
"Father, where are you going? Come back?"
"Come on, Kids. We're going home....but Kain's not."
"FATHER...FATHER...…YOU...YOU.....*Huuuaggghhhh*......You forgot your books."
