Chapter 3 - My casual home

Home was a stretch the place , on the outside it looked gigantic but on the inside it felt like the distance was immeasurable, orange glowing bulbs were place on each side of the room and even on top to cover the immense darkness and lift the enormous aura that came from the deeper parts of home-made labyrinth.

The floors were the classic carved cobblestone , that gave of the true mood of a labyrinth .

Although large , the living area was basically easy to navigate. On top of all other things , Cole moved from each room scanning the entire masses before he found what he was expecting to see.

It was a letter from his housemate, Wilfima written :

Colin if you are reading this then this means... just kidding , no need for the theatrics . I've gone to my homeland for a couple of months , need to take a vacation from the safekeeping .I trust that you haven't forgotten to cloak the house and also remember to check the mail .

PS : Congrats on you should've awakened by now .

Your , roomie + bestie

Wilfima.

With the urgency , Cole rushed to the kitchen , past his sister who was busy watching the news and flicked the switch under the sink . Roxy , who was in the place , looking for something to cook , came up at him with a questioning glance which he clearly ignored to lazy around on the couch.

The man on the news was perhaps in his early twenties , with a sleak black hairstyle was issuing an alert to the public of the rare comet passing by and by which there was going to be a dense fog around the entire city.

This announcement was going to be difficult to accept from everyone who was an astronomer or for that matter a stargazer like Colin and his roommate Wilfima.

For that reason he knew that she would be back within a day or so for the weekend. He prepared accordingly :straightened everything , cleaned the place off from all the cobwebs that had been gathering.

He carefully changed the bulbs within all the lamps into the blue bioluminescent colour that they both admired and even remembered to check the mail . Two of the ones addressed to him alone were both with an immediate read stamp and had only just arrived.

The first one read :

Dear , Mr Granwood

We we're pleased to see your application to our academy and also glad to see that your family is continuing their legacy after countless generations.

Of course there was no favouratism due to your family name but however because we have not seen your awakening results we work on the assumption that they are strong so we have assigned you to the top class of the entire school in your year.

We have high hopes for you .

Yours truly

Headmaster Georgiana Werris.

When he finally got to the second letter , all his hopes for a peaceful life had gone in the drain , once ever since he had been little he had mentioned to his father that he wanted to live freely without any worries like Tarzan in the wild. So his dad encouraged him , first he was taught the essence of the meaning of living in the wild and by the time he was ten , he was already a mighty hunter , and had reached the peak of physical ability.

None bested him and what was left was the ability to acquire the awakening power. So on the day it happened, well he kinda got blown into the bottom of the bay. And now he knew...
