The teacher started going around, handing books but me and Mazan were too busy talking about the ambush yesterday. They'd reached level one hundred but that still wasn't enough for the raid. Suddenly the bell rang and we had to go outside into the playground. Mazan went to play football so I was alone there. Han was two years older than me so I couldn't speak to him. I sat down and stared at the sky. It was empty, no clouds or anything, just the sun standing above us all. Break ended and we went back in. "Mazan what lesson do we have" I asked.
"I don't know just follow people from our class I guess". We followed a girl who looked smart and found out we had music. I liked music but, it was on my least favourite day, Monday. "Hello, I am your new music teacher, Ms. Veiner". My eyes wandered around the room. It had a draw for each instrument so I couldn't actually see them. "Now, put your hand up if you have a music card". I searched through my pockets and put it up. There were two others who chose music. "Oh, wonderful, you can try the instruments and even borrow them for a bit of practise" she said sitting down and writing something into her computer. That was good, it meant that I could practise the other instruments after I finished mastering the guitar. "So today we'll start practising the piano a bit and learning the basics" she said getting back up. I was a bit disappointed because my mom already taught me how to long ago. "First plug in your headphones to the back of the piano then test if it's working, after take off your headphones" she said while demonstrating. I did as she said. "First we'll learn each letter notation so that we can actually start". I zoned out and put my headphones back on. I began to play around with the keys out of boredom. I looked back at the clock and realised it was nearly time for our next lesson. I looked around and everyone was playing which meant I could play freely. I remembered an old song I'd been taught by a priest called, "Praise the lord". It played it off memory since I'd listened to it three times. As the bell rang, I finished the song. I got up and followed the crowd. While I passed through the second floor's corridor, I saw Han once again with Pearl. It seemed like they were in love and I couldn't stop them. "Mazan what would you do if your brother left you for a girl" I asked as we sat down. He paused to think, "I don't know, I can't relate to something I've never seen" he answered leaning back. The day ended and it was ok, the only good thing being I met Mazan. Outside the gates a man stood as if he was waiting for someone. As he pulled up his mask, I realised that it was Delaever. "Let's not speak here" I said walking past him, pretending that I didn't know him. "Ok so what do you have to say" I said walking down an alleyway.
"I'm not sure if you care but apparently ever since we sent the calydonian boar to the neighbouring continent, there has been reports of plants dying in under a week" he said leaning onto the dirty wall. "Okay and what does that have to do with my mom's attempted assassination?".
"Don't you get it, that's supernatural and your brother Han spent over a month with it and seemed to already know of it, also have you seen anything wierd happen to him or his surroundings". I paused to think. There was. "Whenever he enters then leaves water it turns green, you even saw it". He looked at me confused, "What do you mean, I've never seen green water, that's found in the Opan continent and even there it's rare". I stopped. Was I crazy, no, I couldn't be. In the black hole made by Han's tears there were souls and he even mentioned searching the sky water and souls. "Whatever, I'll ask him if he knows anything" I said walking away. I arrived at the orphanage a bit later than the others and went to change quickly. Han was nowhere to be found this time. Not even in the garden. I sat down and took out my money. I had one hundred and forty five Scansaz which was enough to buy a decent phone. "Lila I'm leaving, I'll be back by six". I went to the phone store which was closer to the middle of the city and bought a phone for ninety nine which left me with twenty one to spend freely. I had more but I needed twice that for me and a bit more for Han because he would be sixteen or seventeen by the time we started to reach my home continent. I came back home and as I came closer to the door, I heard some moans. I decided not to interrupt them.
I sat down at the living room and got connected to the internet and did all of the normal things required to use a phone. I went outside because the internet was still strong even out there. As I sat and looked up at the lonely moon, a ball of smoke. I looked to the side and saw a boy about my age smoking. "It can cover up your sadness and all, want one" he said reaching his hand out. If it did I'd take it. I breathed it in and out and slowly, I went to a land, where I saw mom again, I wish that we could play again. My vision began to blur. "I don't wanna lose my conscious, help me" I said before collapsing. I woke up on my bed and the boy was besides me on his phone. "Why're you on my bed?" I asked getting up.
"It's cold outside and I don't wanna go back to my brother"
