Tales Of Earthem: P.O.T.S

Verse 7 –First lesson & the black book

It was a new morning and Jyro somehow found himself back inside headmaster Kobis office again unsurprisingly enough his office looked messier than before, “you called for me sir?” said Jyro as he walked inside the room, the headmaster was busy rummaging through the stack of papers that piled atop of his desk and the whole scenario became a de ja vu to Jyro as he waited patiently for the headmaster to notice him, “here it is” he said waving a sheet of paper in the air “here you go Mr. Thomas take this at once” spoke the headmaster, Jyro received the sheet of paper which consisted of the timetable for his lessons throughout the year. Jyro hadn’t a clue on what was written in front of his eyes as he scanned the paper intently, all he knew was that he had five different subjects: Earthology, History, Celestial Arts, Demonology and Grimoire reading. The time was 8.55 and his first lesson started at 9:00, so he had 5 minutes to somehow decipher the code in front of him to where is next lesson is located, “Jyro! Over hereeee” an over jubilant voice voiced, the sounds of a familiar voice sent cheer flowing through Jyros soul as he now had someone to assist him, Jyro turned around to see his friend Johnny carrying a large stack of books running towards him, “where you off to this morning then” said Johnny “ ermm I actually have no clue to be honest with you I was hoping you’d be able to help me on that” Jyro responded whilst he looked at his timetable clueless, “ seriously mate you haven’t figured out your timetable yet well luckily for you I’m here, let me see that” said Johnny as he quickly scanned through the paper “ well were in the same classes all day today so that’s lucky for you and for the rest of the week it looks like err yeah it looks like your lessons are all located in the upper halls” he added, Jyro stared blankly at his friend wondering what he was going on about, “ jheese I’ll take you by the classes later on today, I’ve already memorized the structure outline of the school so I’m familiar with where everything is” Johnny explained “wow…that’s amazing you actually memorized it all with only been here for a day” marveled Jyro as Johnny grinned his teeth in boastfully. Room 7B1, Jyros first lesson at the academy, The two boys rushed inside the classroom and just about made it at 9:02 the rest of the students had already been seated and the only seats left where at the back, which was perfect for the two who slowly tried to creep to the back seats “Nice of you boys to join us…. You’re late!” announced the teacher the entire classroom then abruptly turned to face the two late comers, Tristine was one of them who sitting in the front row shaking her head in disappointment at the sight of the late comers, “is she for real” whispered Johnny “we were like 4 minutes late” he added.

“Now shall we begin then Welcome to Celestial Arts my name is Professor Luna Harnoor Dhanoa and I’ll be your teacher for this term”, Jyro momentarily was stuck in a trance as he gazed and analyzed his teacher from her dark silky hair that drooped down to her waist to her sand colored skin which gleamed like a goddesses, this trance lasted for quite some time as every word she spoke felt like it was being received in slow motion. “ Virtus dei Est is the power bestowed onto us by god himself to use our souls energy as power, today will be exploring on what influences the amount of power your born with and how we draw out this power from our soul,” she said, the professor then opened her palms and showed the class a small seed that lay inside, she showed it to the class then closed her eyes and spoke “cresce” the seed then started to germinate from her palms and in a matter of seconds it formed into a tall plant that sprouted a sunflower, the students were in awe as they all wowed at the spectacle, she then placed the tall plant on one of the students desk, “over the years we’ve learnt the trigger for the souls power is in our tongue, the words we use manifest into power that flows in our hearts, so let’s all take hold on the seed and channel our soul into it and speak the words ‘Cresce’, remember your soul controls your power so your emotions must be like that of the flower, patient and gentle” the professor explained meanwhile Jyro was still stuck in his trance digesting everything the professor said he even blocked out Johnnys attempts at trying to distract him. The teacher began handing out the seeds to each pupil, “and remember the stage of growth the pant takes depends on your VDE amount so don’t be down hearted if you don’t see the sunflower”, the pupils upon receiving their seed then began the test as they all one by one shouted “Cresce”, some of seeds germinated to a good height even sprouting a flower whilst some germinated for a few moments then died immediately, Johnny took hold of his seed “you can do it mate just focus” Jyro said trying to encourage Johnny, he took a last gasp of breath , “Cresce!” shouted Johnny and with his shout a yellow glow shone from his hand, Johnny smiled in excitement at Jyro thinking to himself he had done it , seconds later the light quickly ceased and the seed turned black and burned into dust “pffffft haha well done Albertsonn that piece of dust in your hand matches your skill level perfectly” blurted a pale haired young man who was watching “ Why don’t you shut up and mind your own business” Jyro said to the boy who then quickly rose up from his chair for a confrontation , “ don’t even think about it Valko” said the professor whilst she stared down at the boy“ don’t make me repeat myself take your seat immediately Mr. Tius” she added, the rather reluctantly sat back in his seat scowling at Jyro “ this isn’t over ” he muttered whilst Jyro to scowled back at him. “Thanks for having my back but you shouldn’t take notice of him he’s always like that, his is name Valko Tius” said Johnny “Tius?” Jyro abruptly repeated “ yeah you heard right their family are said to be the direct descendants of the great hero-go Tius, his dads also part of the queens council so he thinks he rules everything ” said Johnny angrily “ he’s abit of an idiot though aint he” Jyro remarked “ haha yeah he sure is” Johnny replied. As Johnny joked around with his friend he peered down at his arm and noticed it was heavily bandaged “whoa Jyro how did that happen?” Johnny asked, whilst Jyro startled by his question tried to think of a lie on the spot “err…I… I had an accident a while back burnt my arm all over” he worryingly answered. “shhhh you boys are here to work not play so I suggest you start taking this seriously ,and you with the blonde hair you haven’t done the seed test yet… go on then” said professor Dhanoa , Jyro nervously took a hold of his seed as the whole class fell silent and stared at him in anticipation “Cresce!” spoke Jyro, the seed in his hand started to slowly shake around , a stem quickly shot out of the seed and the stem grew taller and taller till it bent downwards after reaching the ceiling “What the hell” gasped Johnny, as the whole room of students stared in shock at the growth of Jyros seed, the professor stood in shock as she too was simply marveling at the scene .“ someone help me stop this” Jyro screeched, The pupils began to move back as the plants growth continued to stretch. The bud of the plant started sprouting open but instead of the sunflower it formed a plant with teeth that snapped and gnarled at the students, they all screamed in panic as the jaws from the flower bore down over them, the professor quickly grabbed hold of one of the colored bottles that sat on her desk, she through it against the plant and it immediately burned up into black ashes. The dust settled and the classroom was filled with silence, Jyro stood dumbfounded whilst his classmates gawked at him in horror, the professor rushed towards him and grabbed his arm she placed her two fingers on his wrist and asked him “How did you do that!....that reaction I’ve never seen anything like it I mean only an A class should be able to…,tell me boy what was your VDE reading when you entered this school” the professor asked intently, Jyro looked at her in bewilderment and said “ around erm, around 100 I think professor” “ he’s lying “ blurted Valko” Keep quiet!” snapped the professor, Valko immediately kept his mouth shut, she stared at Jyro for a few moments and judging by the sincerity in his eyes she knew he was telling the truth, Professor Dhanoa smiled then let go of his wrist “ hmm it seems like we have our very own among us class ” said the professor , the classroom filled with murmurs while the students slowly approached their seats cautiously observing Jyro, “ mate… what in the world was that” Johnny voiced, Jyro couldn’t think up an answer and shrugged his shoulders and nervously went back to his seat.

The lunch break had arrived and the students where either eating in the lunch hall or in the vineyard gardens outside, but sitting by-himself somewhere on the second floor was Jyro, staring aimlessly at an oil painting hung in front of him, it was of a named Lady Diana Griffiths one of the founders of the academy, Jyro had lost track of time and probably couldn’t even remember how long he’s been sitting there for. But his alone time wouldn’t last very long as he started to hear noises coming from down the halls and not too long afterwards Tristine came rushing out of the library located down the hall arguing with a teacher, “well you can’t blame me for asking now can you this is a library after all and one would expect out of the trillions of pointless books you have you’d have a decent one on celestial laws” stated Tristine to the lady, who mind you did not look impressed with the young ladies choice of words and threatened to have her reported. Tristine spotted Jyro standing aloofly on his own and quickly approached him, “Hey Jyro how’s everything going” the young girl asked, she then looked at Jyro face and realized something was troubling his mind “ something the matter” she asked, she then sat next to him and gazed at the oil picture he was looking at “if it’s about this morning I wouldn’t worry about it too much sometimes things happened which we don’t know how to explain but you shouldn’t try to dwell on things you don’t know the answer to, but it kind of sucks though when you suddenly become talk of the class right and I can tell you’re the type who doesn’t like extra attention” the girl added whilst she looked at Jyro and giggled,” yeah, I guess your right” replied Jyro whilst nervously rubbing through his hair and smirking. “Good,Well I’m glad that’s cheered you up a bit because I need your help, follow me”, as the two kids made their way down the hall Jyro waited nervously to hear what Tristine wanted help with this time considering last time they all ended up being chased by goblins, “ there’s this particular book I need to find but I’ve been searching for about 2 hours already and no luck and that weak excuse of a librarian seems to not understand me so I need you to help me find it, you’ll help me yes?” asked Tristine, “ 2 hours” ? Jyro thought to himself which must have meant she skipped lessons just to look for a book, but nevertheless Jyro kept his mouth quiet as he knew Tristine would have an excuse for it anyway and agreed to help her.

They entered the library whilst Tristine quickly dragged Jyro behind one of the book shelves in an attempt to hide from the librarian, as they crouched down behind the shelves Tristine began whispering to Jyro on the plan to find the book, “ alright now listen up, the book is called ‘Genesis’ written by Merlin Albert, it’s a rare book but my sources told me it’s in this library somewhere we just got to find it , so you go look over there and I’ll stay here and avoid that witch…. What you waiting for go go go” she said. Jyro searched shelve by shelve from “Alligators histories oldest animal’ down to “Zodiacs the hidden artifacts’ but no Genesis from Merlin Albert , he begun to lose patience and after hopeless results his attention started to wonder and he ended up walking around the library aimlessly, there was countless books that lay on shelves that towered high and stretched along just as wide, it was the first time he saw so many books in one place and when he picked up a random one and flicked through it the English used was very confusing to him, he thought to himself that Mrs. Thomas would have loved to read one of these books and remembered how fortunate he is to be in this school right now. The search continued and it had now been almost 30 minutes since he left Tristine and begun wondering off, “maybe she had already found the book” he thought to himself , which came to his disappointment when moments later he heard her voice arguing again with someone aloud , Jyro decided to make his way back with the bad news when his eyes fixed onto a big black book that lay on the shelve in front of him, the book immediately stood out from the rest ,it had no title or writing on the front and its coverings was in very weird leather, quite fancy for a book he thought to himself, he flicked through to the first page and it read “Genesis’ “EUREKA!” he said to himself he found somehow found the book.

Jyro felt a sense of relief at finding the book and carried on skimming through it a bit more curious to see what was in it, the books few pages consisted of diagrams and pictures of materials and parts and as he continued going further through the book the parts and materials were all for a mirror, the mirror was tall in height but not very wide and it had an ornament fixed at the top of what looked like a dragons head, Jyro upon realizing Tristine was probably waiting for him outside quickly closed the book and hurried away to meet her.

“Found it” Jyro said whilst coming out of the library bearing the book in his underarm, “wow I knew an extra person would help Thanks again Jyro” said Tristine trying to fit the heavy sized book into her bag, “why were you so eager to get this book anyway Trish?” Asked Jyro “ha-ha no eagerness Jyro just curiosity really, anyway I’d love to stay and chat but I’ve got something I need to do will meet up later ok ” said Tristine before quickly darting off away , Jyro stood confused at the eagerness of his friend who didn’t even say more than a few words and rushed away. Now Jyro didn’t have any lessons for the rest of the day, and couldn’t find Johnny anywhere in sight, he checked at the dorms, checked at the vineyard gardens and checked at the dinner hall but there was no sign of Johnny, so seeing as both of his friends were missing he decided to pay Mongoley a visit. Jyro made it to Mongoleys shop at about 4:15 and the town was vibrant as usual, people flocked up and down the streets in their elegant wears buying goods and enjoying themselves, kids danced throughout the streets playing ball games and marbles while residents greeted him, he also felt comfortable outside this time around since he was wearing his academy uniform and didn’t look so much out of place. The bell chimed when Jyro entered the shop but there was no signs of Mongoley, the boy looked around for a bit when he was surprisingly greeted by an individual “Hello there may I help you young sir”said the individual who happened to be no other than Liam, “oh it’s you from the other night thanks again friend I really appreciate you guys coming to rescue me... What was your name again sorry” asked Liam “it’s no problem don’t worry about it and Its Jyro Thomas” replied Jyro friendly “Jyro Thomas aye I’ll keep that in mind” the young man said whilst he smiled and shook Jyros hand. The door chimes sounded and Mongoley walked through the doors “what you lazing about for ay Liam ya best get them boxes out the back shifted” he voiced ,as he waddled inside and noticed Jyro, “ahh if it isn’t Young Mr Thomas , what can I do for you today ay laddy” he said“ Nothing sir just visiting “ replied Jyro ,Mongoley then looked around the boy for a minute “ eeeeer no Ms morrowind or that other weird one with you today then “ Jyro shook his head in disapproval , “ ay I see that other lad has the blood of a Viking but a heart of a mouse real shame that, anyway come with me I’ve got something to show you” said Mongoley ,he then led Jyro through to one of the backrooms in the shop.

The room they entered had a coal burning furnace with mining and smiting equipment, this must be where Mongoley forged his weapons Jyro thought to himself, Mongoley then put on some gloves and picked up a long object from within the furnace covered in dirty wrappings, I just finish this the other day” he said as he unwrapped the object and showed it to Jyro, it was a sword. “It’s made from the hardest metal you find on these plains, adamantine “said Mongoley as he demonstrated the sword with a few swings, the sword had a black hilt with white markings on it, its blade was shiny like steel but on the edge bore a darker grey pattern that run from the hilt to the point, this would be the first time Jyro encountered a weapon up close and he found it incredibly beautiful. “ so you craft weapons a lot then Mongoley” asked Jyro, Mongoley chuckled to himself then replied “not as I use to dear lad, I’ve retired from making weapons to kill, now I just sell em and fix em up, this swords my first work in quite some years now” he stated , “but why?, your clearly amazing at making weapons… why did you stop” said Jyro curiously, Mongoley took a few minutes to reply as his face dropped into sadness “well long ago I use to craft weapons for the king himself you know ,I was the best at it and everyone in the land knew it then that tragedy happened you know the hells gate disaster and the king lost his life…. Till a blade I made myself” Jyros eyes widened to the shock of what he just heard but he knew it was best to not ask further more questions. Mongoley then went rummaging through his tools and pulled out the pouch that he got from the woods the other night, “this is what I wanted to show ya lad, remember I told you this ere was cursed well that’s not all it was take a good look at this “ Mongoley then began placing items into the pouch , he added a few dozen before lastly placing the long sword inside, Jyro was stunned at how the sword fitted inside it since the pouch wasn’t no bigger than a rug sack, Mongoley then tipped the pouch over and a sudden rush of items and weapons came flooding out the small pouch. “whoa…how did that?” muttered Jyro, “ aye I thought the same thing looks like this is a special pouch which can carry countless items big or small and store them without adding any weight to the pouch itself” Mongoley explained , “ like A magic pouch? But why would that be around the woods….. wait it couldn’t be ?” said Jyro, “ aye I think so too lad someone must have put those wee goblins all in this bag then brought them into the City walls and released them inside into the forest” explained Mongoley “ but who would do that?, and if so shouldn’t we tell the authorities about this” Jyro said intently , “ mmmm not yet I still want to have a look at this pouch for a bit longer then ill decide what we do next but for now keep your eyes open lad, its best to be on full alert when strange things like this happen” Mongoley explained, Jyro nodded in approval “ by the way you know regarding the Hells Gate Disaster how and why did it happen?” Jyro vaguely questioned, “Mmm well I suppose they haven’t taught you about it in school yet, well there’s no harm in knowing I guess, You were probably a wee baby and it happened 13 years ago, the sun suddenly turned red and the sky lit above like a fiery furnace, earth quakes resonated throughout the land which was then followed up with demonic creatures rising from the earth, many people lost their lives that day loved ones, friends it was horrible I tell you, but luckily the previous king and his 3 trusted knights fought tooth and nail and eventually closed the gate, well one of them did… a man named as the Demon knight Eros”. Jyro remembered that name and of the statue he saw that stood outside the school grounds, “was that guy actually a …. You know demon “he asked curiously, “well rumors said he was some just said he was mad but there was no denying it that Eros was one hell of a knight he slayed 1000s of the demons that poured out of the gate and somehow managed to seal it shut which cost him his life, no matter what anybody says about him he was a truly great hero” Mongoley ranted, Jyro for some reason then felt a nostalgic feeling inside him the story of Eros intrigued him greatly.

The evening was upon the city of Canta as the first day of lessons for the first years was over, Jyro and Johnny were both at the lounge area playing a classic game of cards with some of the rest of the boys that shared the dorm with them, Connor Fleming a chubby faced boy with freckles who came from west green islands and Tobias Drinkwater a dark toned skin boy who came from the land of Criafa. The group of boys joked, talked and shared past stories and got to know one another, “hey Jyro I heard your quite the guy now” Tobias said , “yeahh everyone’s talking about how you’re an undercover genius and what not, ha-ha you could have let us know you were secretly a monster” connor added, Jyro simply smirked nervously at them both and continued on playing cards, “ I was kind of shocked by that as well Jy like I knew you weren’t weak but never imagined your plant to do that” said Johnny , “ beginners luck I guess” Jyro responded abruptly all of a sudden Tristine came shooting into the room. She held the black book she found in the library and slammed it on the table in front of them “ oiii do you mind were playing a game over ere” said Johnny whilst Tristine simply gave him a glance and proceeded on, “ Jyro we have a problem a big problem I was half way into the book when I discovered some pages missing!,” said Tristine, Jyro looked at Tristine as if to say what do you expect me to do, the young girl begun to huff and puff out of frustration, “wait is that book by Merlin albert” Johnny asked” yes-yes it is and don’t go getting your dirty paws all over it , it’s still mine for 3 days” Tristine remarked whilst Johnny began examining his hands for dirt. Tristine sighed to herself “anyway boys there’s no way round it us 3 are going to have to find the culprit” she said , Jyro and Johnny looked at one another worryingly, “and how are we going to manage that” asked Jyro , “ahem well, will sneak into the library go through the records of the people who had this book last and check for when the book was submitted for having damage then will correspond the last person who took it out after that damage notice then get the missing pages from them, simple ” Tristine rambled , Jyro and Johnny had a bad feeling about this and where not keen on another dangerous adventure with the young girl, “well as fun as that sounds Trish were all in a very complex game of Jokers and Knights at the moment and can’t possibly leave with the game so close” said Johnny, Tristine then peered over at one of the boys cards in hand “this guy wins in 2 moves he’s got a black queen this one over her has two mountain horses, now come on guys I have the keys” she said whilst grinning cheeringly , “ ahh come on” bellowed Tobias throwing his cards on the table, Jyro and Johnny reluctantly agreed to Tristines request and the 3 kids headed for the library.

The 3 kids made it to the main building successfully without being caught, Tristine led the way as the 3 of them crept throughout the hallways and hid along the walls at any sign of trouble. So they went up the long steps that took them to the second floor, the floor of the library. They crouched behind the wall at the end of the hall to the library, the doors where in their sights but there was one problem they didn’t expect, a prefect was patrolling the halls. Now in the Canta Academy the students were eligible to become a prefect between Grade C and B and the duties usually delegated to them were night patrols around the school, “so what’s your big plan then now Tristine” whispered Johnny “ shhhh keep quiet and just watch” Tristine responded, she then took out a little pink case from her bag and spoke to it “come out Gum Gum” a pink ball of light quickly rushed out of it, the pink ball fizzed around the two boys faces and landed on Jyros nose “ what in the world is that” asked Johnny “ That is my pixie Her names Gum Gum” Tristine said whilst Johnny and Jyro gazed at it in bewilderment “PIXIE?” they both exclaimed, as they looked closely into the light they saw a very tiny figure of a girl with wings immersed in the Centre of the light, the pixie then flew up high glittering around the air then dashed towards the prefect patrolling , the light danced around the prefects head, the pixie startled the prefect boy and he flayed his arms about in the air in a state of panic , in the midst of this Tristine then brought out her bow and arrow aligned with her sight and fired at the prefect hitting him on his bottom. The prefects suddenly collapsed and the kids went to inspect him, “nice job Gum Gum” said Tristine,” nice job? You’ve blimmin killed him, have you gone bonkers why’d you shoot him with an arrow for? Johnny exclaimed whilst Jyro went to feel his pulse “he’s not dead…. I think he’s just sleeping” Jyro said with relief “of course he’s sleeping I had sleeping poison rubbed on the arrow, don’t worry hell be up in a few minutes” said Tristine. Meanwhile Johnny almost had a meltdown as he tried wrap his head around what was going on “poison? And that makes it better does it, my god where did you even find poison and a Pixie? Is that even allowed into the school” he added as he continued his state of panic,Jyro and Tristine simply stepped over the sleeping prefect and entered the library.

The library was dark as the kids entered so Tristine quickly summoned her pixie as a source of light, “alright lets be quick about this, I think the library records are kept at the main desk” said Tristine, not too long afterwards Johnny crept in, “oh finally decided to join us Drama queen” mocked Tristine whilst Johnny pretended to not hear her remarks. The kids made their way to the main desk whilst Johnny looked around the darkened room nervously,” hey guys lets hurry up and get out of here, we remember what happened the last time we was in a dark place, my thoughts do recall goblins chasing us” Johnny sarcastically remarked. Jyro and Tristine searched for the file that contained the record books, “Found it” said Jyro, they opened the file and begun looking for the book. “Ok here it is ‘Genesis’, let’s see the last time is was reported damage was this date and the person who had it then was …’Tius’” Tristine and Jyro then looked at one another in astonishment “ as in Valko Tius” said Jyro “, meanwhile Johnny was cautiously looking around the darkened library when he started to hear sounds of books tumbling in the distance, “aaah drats I knew it” spoke Johnny, moments later out emerged a white spirit that towered above him , it had no body but only the face of a women with her eyes blindfolded, the kids were stunned whilst they looked up at the spirit hovering in front of them. Jyro was the first to come to his senses and he grabbed Tristines arm and made a run for it, after he made the first few steps Jyro looked behind him to see if Johnny matched his pace but Johnny didn’t move, he simply stood there and stared at the spirit in disarray “JOHNNY” screamed Jyro, the spirit then passed through Johnny sending him tumbling to the floor. Jyros survival instinct kicked into gear and he grabbed Tristines arm and ran to the other side of the library, he could hear the sound of the books dropping behind him as the spirit pursued them, he looked to his right and saw the signs for the toilet so him and Tristine ran inside and barricaded themselves behind the door. “ We’ve got to go get Johnny back so I need you to wait here and I’ll run for it “said Jyro, but what he didn’t realize was that the young girl was still in a state of shock responding only with silence, the noise outside ceased, and Jyro and Tristine slowly took their weight off the door, BANGG! The door swung open off its hinges sending Jyro flying back. Jyro slowly came to his senses as his vision was blurry and hazed, he opened his eyes and saw the spirit towering over Tristines unconscious body, “GET AWAY FROM HER! He screamed whilst he slowly tried to steady himself onto his feet, the Spirits face begun to move closer to Tristine and in an instant Jyro brought out his Zooz stick pointed it towards the spirit and screamed “FULMINIS PULSUS”, a lightning ball surged out of the stick hitting the wall breaking it upon impact. The spirit flew around suddenly in fear and attached itself onto the ceiling and looked down on the boy, Jyro stared back at it menacingly ready to fight, he looked at Tristines body lying there then remembered Johnny outside laying on the floor, and his heart begun to burn and feelings of anger and fury boiled up inside him, a sensation he’s never felt before surged through his body. Jyro then looked at his arm and begun undoing the wrappings, the bandages fell on the floor and Jyros cursed arm manifested, the red scales then begun to cover the whole arm almost like a shield and gleamed and shone like they was made out of metallic blood, Jyro suddenly felt a sharp burning sensation and fell to his knees. Whilst he clutched at his arm and groaned in pain the spirit descended slowly towards him with caution till it was hovering over him, Jyros head filled with whispers and a dark toned voice spoke to him with words he could not understand. The spirit moved even closer to the distressed boy and it brought its face within an inch away from Jyros, the boy looked up and gazed at the pale faced entity, just as it was about to touch him he raised his cursed arm and a red stream of lighting surged out of it sending the spirit fizzling to the floor, the red electricity streamed around the spirit as it screeched in pain, blood trickled down the face of the spirit, it howled in a ferocious pitch and charged through Jyro, the boy abruptly fell to the ground and passed out.

All Jyro saw was blackness, he could hear screams and felt a very hot sensation as if fire was burning right in front of him, the screams grew faint and he heard a voice speaking to him, “Amon, Amon, Amon” the musky voice continued to repeat itself but Jyro couldn’t make out its words properly, the voice dimmed till it eventually stopped speaking, Jyro woke up. Jyro lifted up his head and saw Mr. Kobi the headmaster standing over his bed, he wasn’t alone though professor Dhanoa was there along with the head mistress and two others he didn’t recognize, Mr. Kobi smiled at him with relief as Jyro slowly sat himself up “take it easy boy, how are you feeling?” the man he didn’t recognize asked, Jyro rubbed his painful head and then realized his cursed arm was wrapped tightly in bandages again , the boys heart sank as he started to fall into a state of panic, “whoa now take it easy try and relax everything is ok now” the headmaster said trying to relax the boy, “did they find out?, what are they going to do ?, is it all over? The boy thought to himself, “mmm to think the spirit guardian would attack some students this has never happened before” said the headmistress “this is not the place nor the time for this” said the headmaster he then laid his hand out on the boys head “rest well” he said “will talk later”.
