Chapter 32 - Responsible!

Fixia, Sylphia, and Georyy stood on the surface of the platform, their eyes fixed on the horizon as the platform began to move and un-aligning itself. The familiar feeling of gravity shifted once more, and the platform resumed its orbit around the earth. They had achieved the impossible - reaching the bottom of the platform and witnessing the world from an entirely different perspective.

Despite their success, Georyy couldn't help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction. His insatiable curiosity lingered, and he was left with a whirlwind of unanswered questions. How did the platform float? What kept it suspended in the air? Was it magic, or something else entirely? And why was there a massive wall surrounding each platform? The mysteries of this world seemed endless, and Georyy's thirst for knowledge remained unquenched.

"We did it..."

Fixia said, breaking the silence as she smiled at her friends.

"We actually made it to the bottom."

Sylphia nodded in agreement, her eyes still filled with wonder.

"It's truly a remarkable achievement..."

She remarked.

"No one else has ever done this before."

Georyy let out a thoughtful sigh.

"Yes, it's incredible,"

He said.

"But there's so much more to learn.

"I want to know why these platforms exist, how they work, and what lies below them."

"There's a whole world beneath our feet, waiting to be explored."

As the platform continued its journey, the three friends stood there, absorbing the breathtaking view of the sky above and the world below. The sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and purple, and they knew it was time to return to the academy.

"We should head back..."

Fixia said, glancing at the setting sun.

"It's getting late."

They made their way back to the academy, their hearts still filled with excitement and a sense of fulfillment from their extraordinary journey. The people of Gawsyphrus, who had been confused during the Quirat Move, had settled down, and life had returned to its normal rhythm.

As they walked back, Sylphia turned to Georyy and Fixia.

"I'm proud of what we accomplished together..."

She said, a smile playing on her lips.

Georyy nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"This is just the beginning..."

He replied.

"There's so much more to discover, and I know we can do it if we stick together."

Fixia placed a hand on Georyy's shoulder.

"You're right,"

She said.

"Our journey doesn't end here."

"There's still so much ahead of us, and I can't wait to see what lies on our path."

...

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with the colors of twilight, Fixia, Sylphia, and Georyy finally arrived back at the academy. The grand institution, usually filled with the joyous sounds of students and the buzz of learning, was now shrouded in chaos. With some students missing, panic had gripped the campus, and everyone was frantically searching for their friends and peers.

As the trio entered the academy grounds, Fixia's eyes caught sight of her worried parents speaking to one of the teachers. Her heart sank as she realized that her impromptu adventure had caused her parents so much anxiety. She knew she should have informed them, but the excitement of the Quirat Move had swept her away.

Before Fixia could say anything, her mother's eyes fell upon her, and she rushed towards her daughter, a mixture of relief and anger on her face.

"Fixia! Where have you been?"

"We were so worried!"

"You should have let us know!"

She scolded, her voice filled with both concern and frustration.

Fixia felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Mom,"

She said softly, bowing her head.

"We got caught up in something unexpected."

"We didn't mean to worry you."

Her mother's expression softened, and she pulled Fixia into a tight hug.

"Just promise me you'll be more careful next time..."

She said, her voice tinged with worry.

"We were so scared something had happened to you."

"I promise, Mom," Fixia replied, hugging her back.

"I'll be more responsible from now on."

As the embrace continued, the teacher who had been speaking to Fixia's parents approached them.

"I'm glad you're safe, Fixia..."

The teacher said with a smile.

"But next time, make sure to let someone know where you're going."

"It will save everyone a lot of unnecessary worry."

Fixia nodded, feeling a mix of gratefulness and regret. She knew she had acted impulsively, and it had caused unnecessary concern for her parents and the academy staff. From now on, she vowed to be more mindful of her actions and the impact they might have on others.

The teacher looked at Sylphia and Georyy and said.

"You two should, also be more careful about it."

"I'm glad you all seem to be fine."

"But there are still more students who are missing."

She said and left, leaving them to wonder what happened after they left. Why are other students missing.
