Chereads / Knights Of Astellan / Chapter 16 - School, Portal, Split

Chapter 16 - School, Portal, Split

All of the knights drive into the small town, of Clairwood.

Sloan sighs irritatingly. "You should've woke me when we made it to the witch." "What are you mad for? We are literally in the town. It's not that big!" Grayson exclaims. "Ugh," Sloan groans. She looks out the window and reads a sign in front of a building. It's an orphanage.

"Grayson, that pact, now that you've…changed, do you want it to stay?" Sloan asks quietly with an eerie expression. Grayson responds by speaking another language. Sloan turns her head away.

"Guys! Wake up we're here. We told you to stay awake!" Hasan yells as he opens the back door, pushing them to awake. They all get out of the car and look at Grayson and Hasan standing in front of an open gate. "This is where Aarion lives?" Aeron asks. "Well, I don't know if he does now. It's like the main office of the school now. But he did live here in the past. Come on we have to go see him." He concluded.

They left the car and walked down the concrete path, passing the house. "Stop!" A voice shouts from behind. They stop and then turn around and see themself to a man. "What's your business at Magus Boarding School?" The man says.

"Uh, I'm Grayson. We're supposed to be meeting the headmaster today." Grayson responded firmly to his question.

The man stood and thought for a moment. "Oh, I remember Aarion mentioning your name at the last council meeting. Are you Grayson from Magia Terra?" He queried another question. Grayson nods in response. "Okay, I'm Quincy. I can take you all to him." He says. "Great!"

They then continue walking to the campus that they can see from not afar. It was a big campus with multiple fields for sports. Typical private school Jessica thinks. Kinda like her school but different in a huge way.

They walk pass cheerleaders and football players practicing. They see the students do magic. "Isn't magic like a secret on Earth?" Aeron asks Quincy. "Yeah. This school is one of the world's schools for the supernatural. Witches, werewolves, vampires, and everything else in between." Quincy elaborates.

"It's like Astellan.." Jessica says looking at the students practice using their magic. "It's just a secret." She says amazed but disappointed. "That's just how it has to be" Quincy sighs. 

Eris arrives back at his castle from Astellan. He heads to his bedroom and finds a letter on his bed. He opens it and reads it.

"King Eris, my great nephew. The day you get this letter is the day my body releases me to go with my parents, my brother, and my sister. There is a prophecy I want you to know. Gods will arise, though strong, they might face a demise. Devils and Gods fighting, but before that, Ten will summit after lighting. After all is said and done, one of the three young gods, you will confront. This prophecy was meant for you. Figure out what it means, and be prepared when it comes true. From, Eliara." He reads and puts away the letter. 

The knights and Quincy walk down a corridor and stop at two wide doors.

"This is his office." Said Quincy. "Just sit and wait, he's in the office with a student right now." 

They all take a seat and glare at the TV screen on the wall, wondering what the heck is it.

"It's in! Pisces and Taurus have come back from their mission in Alaska. Another success from the Zodiac Knights! The hybrid witch werewolf and the fairy are really coming into the scenes. Unlike the other top five of the knights, Isaiah and Victor are the only of the five doing missions from the Magic Council." The reporter from the TV elaborated.

Jessica's eyes widen. "You guys hear that? Victor, my brother is here!" She said happily. "Sorry, but," a man spoke from behind. "what that reporter said was true. Only Isaiah and Victor are available to do missions, so they're out again." The man said.

"Aw. I was hoping to see him." Said Jessica. "I'll let him know after I get you home. I'm Aarion." He greets and holds his hand out for her to shake. "Oh. I'm Jessica. I'm sure you met my dads, Eris and Henry." She shakes his hand. "Yes, that was before Marcus!" He says in remembrance.

They follow him inside his office Hasan closes the door behind him. "Okay, so are you guys ready to go now?" He asks before he does anything. They all nod. Even Grayson. "Okay, so one thing you guys need to do. You all need to think about the same place to teleport to. If not it'll teleport you guys to a random place, and possibly split you all up." Aarion says.

"Let's settle for Dell Sterum. A place we all know." Says Ashamoke. No one disagrees so Aarion continues with the portal. A small gray portal forms in his palm, and it gets bigger as he sets it in a place where they can walk in it. They all walk into the portal and it closes. 

Jubi, Mai, Melvin, Mallock, Mable, Deros, Jesse, King Henry, and King Eris all report to the council meeting. They all gather in the council room, taking their seats. 

"Let's begin. Who called for a council meeting?" asked Henry. "I did." Deros begun. "I called you all hear to discuss something that came to my mind. The Parliament." He said. "Mm. What about them?" Asks Mable. "I feel that they're plotting something against the monarch. Or at least... my father. I don't think he's settled with the things that have happened to the kingdom lately." Deros Asserted. "And what things would that be?" Asks Jubi. 

Jesse began, "Maybe one of the things would be the destruction of the capital three years back. The entire capital was destroyed, plus it's the largest city. They were sure to be infuriated with that, and I'm sure you know why. And maybe it's the princess's disappearance. Now that our kingdom is becoming more open to more realms, losing our princess looks... bad. And maybe they're still angry that the knowledge of Magicae not being the world's only kingdom is out. Numerous reasons they'd be against us, I suppose." "Then we shall find a... solution to our parliament problem," Melkin says.

A portal opens in a room. Jessica and Hasan walk through. The portal then closes behind them.

"Hey, where are we?" Hasan asks. Jessica walks over to a window and looks outside. "We're in my room. Now, let's get this started."
