"Minerva is the second half of the sect of the Noble Knights.The other half is Athena.There are many other sects that form The Knights.We are a group of orph...."
"We aren't exactly what you are about to call us!!" Rinaldo cut in, placing the book on the table and sitting up straight. "Truth is," he continued, "this is what you wish to call it but not an orphanage.It might be a fortress,a citadel,a castle,a school and a whole lot more things but it never can be an orphanage!!"
"I warned you to never disrupt me when I'm speaking!!" Jasmine shot Rinaldo a hard warning. " My bad!!" Rinaldo threw up his arms in defeat, flopping back onto the couch, " I won't say anymore!!" he emphasized that by closing his mouth with an invisible zipper.
"I was saying," she turned to Ryker," where was I??" she tried to recall."You were just telling this lad here..By the way,what do they call you??" Quillon asked, crossing one of his arms on his chest and pinching his chin with the other.
"They call me Ryker Crassus!!"Ryker replied.
"Ryker Crassus!!What an odd name!!It sounds pretty familiar, especially the Crassus!!" Lorraine nodded slightly,as if trying to familiarize with the name.
"Acheron Crassus!!He was one of the greatest terrakinetic knights Biddercombe and the whole of The Sagesparks ever had!!You must be terrakinetic to have been named after him!" Jasmine said.
"Whatever that is you are talking about!!" Ryker sighed in confusion.
He didn't understand a thing about how they ran that conversation.They had switched from talking about this place to talking about some knight who he shared a name with.Whatever,he sighed.
"Alright,now,can we get back to where we were.Ryker,here,has to understand where he is now!!" Rinaldo called.
Oswald rocked in the chair by the fire, completely unmoved by what was happening around him.He seemed to be frozen in place.Edric snored on peacefully.
"Okay!! Lorraine go ahead and explain things to him.I am perturbed by the presence of that boy over there," she scowled at Rinaldo before disappearing in a puff of white smoke.
"I'll start from my very own point of view!!" Lorraine leaned against the back of the couch.
"Like you always do" Quillon mumbled.
"This is what you may call a fortress," Lorraine started to explain, "and a home to many young magicians and super humans. We are divided into about six sects.The Noble knights,the Guardian Knights,the Celestial knights,the...."
"Celtic knights,the Royal knights and the Arch knights!" Quillon added.
"Each of the sects is divided in two and each has a role they play in our calling to protect the Sagesparks.We are the Noble knights,or are part of the Noble knights.Our half, Minerva is made of six..."
"Seven!!" Quillon corrected.
"Thanks alot my love!!" Lorraine smiled.
"And where is the seventh?" Ryker asked,not minding Lorraine just calling Quillon her love breaths ago.
"You will see him pretty soon.You know he loves to be around girls,so he's probably chasing after one of the girls from Athena!!" Quillon said.
"You mean Chloe!!" Lorraine scoffed," I hate that bitch!!" Quillon looked at Lorraine with a sarcastic smirk,"I think I know why!!" Lorraine raised one of her brows in question.
"Can you guys please stop whatever you are trying to do?If you aren't going to tell Ryker where he is,then send him to the library!!" Rinaldo said,real angry,"lest I slit your throats"
"You dare!!" Quillon sneered.
"Give me some peace, Radcliffe!!" Rinaldo gritted his teeth in frustration, glaring at Quillon with clenched teeth.
"You were supporting the idea of telling Ryker where he is, just now.How do you change so quickly and turn against it??" Oswald spoke suddenly,stunning everyone.
Looks like Oswald wasn't the type to blabber much, judging by the look on their faces.It was utter surprise.
"How dare you meddle with other folks' business??" Rinaldo scowled."Your business is mine,too!!" came the simple reply.
"You know I'm going to support the idea of sending you to the library!!We won't be able to tell you much with those two around." Quillon shook his head,in utter disbelief.
"Yeah,me too!Those two disrupt nearly everything with their petty squabbles!!" Lorraine said, crossing her legs.
"Say what now??" Rinaldo almost roared.He appeared appalled by what Lorraine had just called a petty squabble."Did you hear what that girl just said about us??" Oswald remained put,"If it wasn't true,I would eat her whole just now!!" he drawled,like a lazy giant.
"Do we have a night class today??"Quillon asked, stretching his long arms and bending his thick waist. Quillon wasn't really muscular but he had a well sculpted body. He was just beyond and beneath Ryker's ability to describe.
"No we don't!!" Lorraine said.
"Then it is pretty much an awesome idea to spend the time in the library.There is loads of books we can read and some peace and quiet for a get to know each other conversation!!" Quillon said, straightening his jacket.
"I'm afraid I'll have to agree to your proposal!!"
Ryker didn't have a choice but to agree to their thought.Besides,it would help him scan his environment and to learn more about his surroundings and the inhabitants.He couldn't help but desire to know their abilities and their so-called calling.He wanted to learn how to work his powers and how these knights worked theirs.There was much he had to know and his only solution,if not for his team,was the library.For sure,that place was filled with many answers to his questions and those that he hadn't asked yet.
"Then let's get going!!" Lorraine jumped up and headed for the large doors.
The three headed out of the common room,down a flight of stairs and into a corridor,then down another flight of stairs and into a hallway.
Suddenly,Ryker was greeted by a soft breeze that brushed his face swept his black hair to the back of his head.
"Feels so good!!"
