Ding.....ding.....ding....
Lloyd was awaken by the sounds of bells chiming, he scrunched his face and moved around his bed. He let out a groan and stood up.
His face looking haggard and his hair disheveled. He walked towards the edge of the room, where a door stood, he opened it and went inside.
He was greeted by an already made bath, the water set to the perfect temperature, his favorite soap on the side of the bath, along with his favorite bath robe and slippers.
"Ohh, Axis! thanks for the bath!"
Lloyd shouted with joy, the walls around him shook gently, as if replying to him. Lloyd smiled and proceeded to hop in to the bath.
Lloyd walked out of the bath, clad in his favorite white robe, made of the finest angorian cotton. He walked towards what seemed to be a closet and snapped his fingers.
The closet opened, and rows of shirts, pants, shoes, and robes, appeared Infront of him. Lloyd began browsing each of the materials, putting away anything he didn't like.
As he walked among the many rows of shirts, he spot a specific type of clothing that caught his eye. It was a blue shirt, with silver colored designs, it had a rune on its front and a symbol on the back.
Lloyd quickly took it and ordered all the other clothes to return to the closet. He put on the shirt, accompanied it with some black pant, and a hoodie (which he saw on his arrival here, which instantly caught his attention)
The hoodie was grey, with black lines tracing around his arms, all the way to his shoulders.
He looked at the mirror, he was truly admiring the clothes. He was now looking more like the citizens in this world, while also looking quite nice.
Lloyd left his room and into the long corridor, he was now walking straight down until he was met with two wooden doors. He breathed in and opened it.
A blinding light appeared in front of him, and when it died down he was met with a giant library, rows of bookshelves could be seen, filled to the brim with books.
He was now in a balcony which overlooked the library, and from here he could see the lay out of the building. In the center sat a giant round table, filled with papers. It was surrounded by round bookshelves, perfectly imitating a circle. Beside it were rows of chest and a table, filled with vials and trinkets used for making potions. And on the other side were another row of tables holding magnificent artifacts, some even on top of pedestals. And finally at the center, right in front of the round table was a stand, in it held a book, the family grimoire.
Lloyd grinned and walked down the stairs, into the library, towards the center. He spread his arms and shouted:
"Good morning Axis! nice to see you"
The room started emitting a sound that seemed to resemble a hum.
"Why thank you, I do look quite nice"
"...hum..."
"Oh yes! the girl! I've put on a tracking spell on her so I could keep an eye out. Speaking of that, could you show me her location?"
"....hum...."
A bright image appeared Infront of him, showing a map of the city. In there was a blue dot (indicating their location) and a red dot (indicating the girl's).
Lloyd nodded, seems she is still in her house, Lloyd will have to keep an eye out for her, in case her magic leaks.
He's seen her power, and it was quite shocking how much she had when she just awakened her magic, usually it takes quite a bit of training to summon all of those plants.
So for now, he will have to look out for her, sooner or later the sealing charm he casted on her will break and Lloyd's gonna have to decide on what to do.
______________________________________________
Mariposa Hatcherson, normal high school girl and part time worker at Kat's cafe. After her so-called "possession" rumors at her school began spreading rapidly, so she was now currently huddling in her room, contemplating on her existence.
"Everyone thinks I was possessed, now they're gonna think I'm more weird then they originally thought"
Mari grumbled, she was now chatting with her friend, when he sent her a video of her going wild.
( "Mari, this video is literally spreading like wild fire! what are you gonna do?")
("What am I gonna do? people already think I'm weird and now they have more reason to!")
("Oh, and Bianca keeps spreading this rumor that your actually mentally unstable, and now people are thinking about sending you to a mental asylum!")
("What!? ok, these people gotta stop, there being dramatic")
("Well face it honey, people are now gonna be staring at you when go to school....oh wait! are you gonna go to school?")
("Ofcourse, duh!! Mr. Park's exam is today, and I can't miss that, you know how he is, he is not going to make me retake it!")
("Well, you do you girl, just remember, I'll be here every step of the way!")
("Tnx, now I gotta get ready, bye!!")
("Ok, bye!!")
Mari, put down the phone at least she had her friend to help her out. After the whole incident with her going wild and that man...no Lloyd! saving her, she's become more....different.
She didn't tell her parents ofcourse, but after that weird event, she's been feeling her body change. She's now more self aware about her surroundings, and her body's become more stronger.
She still couldn't explain, what happened though, she was half conscious, so she could see what was happening.
Her body going wild, the doctors drugging her, and her falling asleep. It was quite peaceful, until it happened. She could feel a surge of energy appear throughout her body, and suddenly her eyes snapped opened. She could feel her body...activating? if that's the right word.
Her body was reacting to the energy, and as a result something awakened inside of her, it was scary, and she had no idea what was gonna happen. When that thing awakened inside of her, she felt energized, she felt a new kind of energy appearing all of her body, something powerful.
Right there and then, she could feel her body being devoured, as if it was consuming her, trying to take control of her. She wanted to scream for help but she couldn't, she already lost control of her body, and now she feared she might be swallowed. But, that's when it happened, a new form of energy, stronger than hers appeared. It was pushing hers back, until it was in a corner of her body, and sealed it.
After that, she gained consciousness again, and she finally got to talk with her saviour. He was nice, caring, and gentle.
After that day, she swore, she was gonna find him, thank him and ask more about what happened.
But now, she had to go to school first, which was easier said than done.
She hopped of her bed and took a shower, once that was done she picked up some clothes. She wore her a blue shirt, and mint green hoodie, along with some jeans.
She styled her hair in to two side buns. Which she thought were kinda cute.
After finishing getting ready, she went outside and into the kitchen where she was met with her parents. They were looking at her with pain and worry in their eyes.
"Sweety.." her dad said "Maybe you shouldn't go to school today, you just got home, and we wouldn't want you to get hurt again"
"Exactly! You should just rest, you can go to school tomorrow"
Mari looked at both of her parent, they were the best people in the world, the ones who took care of her and saw her quirky side as beautiful. She smiled warmly at them.
"I know, but I have to go to school, I have a test today and it's worth 20% of my over all grade"
Her parents sighed.
"Oh our little Mari! always a hard worker" my mother cooed.
"Fine.... sweety, but if you feel anything wrong, go home and call us immediately, ok?" my father said.
"Ok dad, I will"
My dad, smiled and nodded, he handed me my breakfast and we ate together.
After eating my breakfast, she bid farewell and left. She was now walking to school, her house was pretty close to her school, so
she just walks.
She was walking down the road, trying to calm herself down, as she grew closer to her school. She was now walking past a park which she passes by everyday, but this time, it felt weird.
She was walking when she couldn't help but hear small whispers, she turned around and saw no one was there. She shrugged this off and continued walking. But as she got close to the park, the whispers came back, and now were louder.
Mari looked back, and so no one. She turned around and started walking, she was now quickening her steps, when her ears heard the whispers again, but now louder. The whispers echoed throughout her ear, her head was spinning and her ears felt like bleeding.
She suddenly fell to the ground, gasping for air. She turned around and right there she saw, a shadowy figure, hiding behind the trees.
It had two glowing orbs, which she thought were eyes, slowly she could make out a mouth. When she stared at it, it smiled, showing it's teeth.
The smile grew wider, until it was now meeting its. The whispers were now gone instead were replaced with a snicker, the snicker got louder until it was laughing, its voice ringing in her ears.
Mari, couldn't look away, she was frozen staring directly at it. As if captured by the monster, and now couldn't break free. She stared deeper until a car horn broke her trans.
A car speedily drove pass her, and when she looked back, the monster disappeared.
Mari quickly stood up and bolted towards her school, not caring anymore. When she reached the gates, she was panting, her face was sweaty and her clothes looked wrecked.
Mari, was way to focused on her thoughts, to notice all the curious gazes, casted at her.
'What was that thing!'
The sound of its laughter kept repeating in her mind, until it was all she could here. Her breathing became quick, and her body started shaking.
She could feel the same energy from before leaking out.
'Oh god..STOP!'
'This can't be happening!?'
She was now visibly shaking, her face looking devoid of happiness. When she was about to scream, she felt a warm hand hold her shoulder, she looked beside her and saw a familiar face.
A boy with brown skin and dark brown hair, he was looking at her worriedly, and all of a sudden her worries disappeared.
"Are you ok?"
Those words calmed her down, the thought of her best friend with her, made everything much more better.
She looked at him and nodded.
"Y-yeah.."
"Hey, I know this is gonna be hard, and people are gonna be staring, but remember I'll always be here...ok?"
Mari, exhaled and smiled. She nodded at him and took his hands. She walked with him as they entered the school building.
As the doors open, she visibly tense up, everyone and she means EVERYONE was looking at them. She was about to walk out when she felt her friends grip. She stopped shaking and continued walking.
She passed the staring people and was about to go inside her room, when she heard her.
"Oh hey! It's Mari, I thought you were still in the mental hospital after your whole episode at the cafe"
Mari, looked at the girl, she was eyeing her condescendingly. She smiled at Mari, and she could feel herself puke at the action.
"Hey...Bianca.."
