Achlys walked through the forest in the night, the poison had started taking its effect on her making her very weak. She sat under a tree to rest "if I could get to the storage palace now, I would be able to get cured" she thought.
She knew that was the most impossible thing at the moment now but it was the only thing she could think about as she felt all her energy draining. She was about to close her eyes when she heard a growl. There were a lot of wild animals in the forest and since it wasn't her direction so she ignored it. However it kept getting closer until she could see the tiger right in front of her.
She was going to stand but her legs failed her and she kept looking at it before she passed out. "Stop it" a young female voice called out and the tiger turned towards her "naughty"she said. "She looks really injured, I wonder what she is doing here"the girl said to no one in particular.
Kali was at home but she just stood out staring, unable to enter. This was the type of life her father wanted rather than just sitting around and getting spoilt.
Her father always told her that spending time with people always had a way to change the way one think, she didn't really believe it not because she doesn't feel different but because her father didn't spend time with people as he had said.
Perhaps what he meant was staying out since that was what he always did and just like now when she could easily tell he wasn't around due to the absence of his special guards. He was a skilled fighter but he always took them along with him wherever he went for a reason she was always curious about.
"Kali",someone called from behind, it was Lina her sister. They were both adopted by the infamous king of wolves and it was her that seemed to carry on that legacy. "Why are you home,did something happen?" she asked showing concern__
"No, we were given a break" she replied. Sometimes Lina could be over anxious and agitated and other times she could act indifferently which was quite a strange mixture.
"Where did father go?" she asked. "Just his usual trips , how was the training, I heard that the school is going to be the standard for all force users in Nesha", asked Lina. "How did you know all this?"
Kali asked surprised.
"We opened a new information agency with branches even outside Nesha, so we are always updated with every recent information and a lot of people have been curious about the school since it was opened by the King himself", she said.
"You've done a lot since I left...but why are they interested in it because it is the King?" Kali asked. "You asked a good question" , she said standing up. She walked around slowly as she started to explain.
"There are forces institutions in Nesha owned by different people, these institutions were originally created to help people develop their power and use it rightly.However starting from the reign of the previous King the aims of these schools started changing.
The owners turned their students to disciples and the students only had the interest of the school at heart. This is a breach to the reason these schools are in existence"she paused and waited for Kali to respond.
"So the King is trying to restore the balance by having students who could never be disciples probably because of their background?.."Kali asked.
"There's another story concerning it, some people think that the school was opened to serve as a proxy for military power" she said. "What does that mean?" asked Kali. Nesha doesn't have any source of military strength. No army or any special force___
__other nations don't attack us because they fear our powers so that has been our advantage , however that isn't a long lasting leverage. Nesha is small and can be easily overtaken any time, besides there's also a fall in our population recently so the reason could be that the king is trying to keep the other kingdoms in check by setting up the school"
"Whatever the reason is I don't see why it's so important that people feel uneasy about it, people who use these forces anyway are all from Nesha" Kali sighed she just couldn't understand what people really feared that they always took things like this way too seriously.
"There are others who also have this supernatural powers who aren't from our kingdom" Kali looked up surprised "Are there really people like that?"
"Sorcerers"
