"Again!" Master Tao instructs.

I run the formation again, my movements admittedly a little sloppy, but I felt smooth and confident as I ran over the sequence again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP31Qe9Svx
I was sparring with an enchanted punching bag, it had arms and legs, but its body was literally just a punching bag. Everyone else was at sports and I had a lesson on Luminus with Professor Caeline, then now after lunch I had combat practice and training.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFypzT2HnzH
This was my second day of combat practice, yesterday Professor Caeline showed me how to the sight of Aethra, which is basically just being able to see through lies and all that bull crap. It was really interesting. Today we just did exercises to practice what he taught me before.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbPN3xCAm2
"Widen your stance Leodonis, you're trying to take me him down, not at a standing auction." He says, his hands behind his back as he looks over at me with that judgmental look of his.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXB4ocwmNR
As I was staring at Master Tao the stupid punching bag speared me to the floor. I let out a yelp as it just sat on my chest.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBEErmcc69
I tried moving, I tried punching it but it was just too freaking heavy.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryIAuvx1I3
Aha! Idea.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetVYxEfHRL
I flick up my hips so my legs reach the top of the punching bag, where it's head is supposed to be, and hook my legs around it before slamming the beanbag off of my chest and onto the floor.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnebpymQQwy
I rolled beside it and fully flopped on top of it, sitting on it like it just did to me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAMNNr1yMl
It struggled, but I kept my butt heavily planted on it.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8TInnjSi3
I looked up to Master Tao who looking at me the same, judgement and displeasure. He was like that one parent that you always wanted to impress but he had unrealistic expectations.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwWANHgQU1
So with i sigh, I flop off the punching bag and lie flat on the ground. I wasn't really tired, but this was exhausting.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBpg5Qobdk
"Still too sloppy." He says, from right above me, looking down at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA1K40hQag
"But I suppose you are done for today. No training tomorrow because it is the Summer Solstice celebrations." He says and I nod, sitting up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0qZghlLHe
Holy cow, this was a workout.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlw0S5VhuS
I get up and walk over to my water bottle, and squirt— and pour the water into my mouth before grabbing my phone and sitting down on the bench.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowzZmmPOpl
I smiled as I saw texts from October. We've been texting on and off the whole time I've been here, not really talking about anything of value, just small check ups.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ABmo12jM5
October : Is the work load worse there?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfeEHtb0J6
Me: A lott worse, I have to study like ten more books than there was at East Side. It's insane. What about you, what have you been up to?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtIgc7qVG7
October: Honestly nothing, just working at an auto repair shop down town
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAzbUicaRm
Me: That weirdly suits your vibe
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHmvahSGG
October: now what's that supposed to mean hot stuff?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKydBvxdaQ
Me: i'm still not free of that nickname huh?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ7YmW4hqj
October: Never ;)
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zpVowPdrC
Me: I gotta go to dinner but I'll text you later
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpXoGrlXNb
October: Cool, don't have too much fun without me
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4gu1eLUCC
I smile at the last text and decide to leave it at that. I grab my bottle and slip my phone in my pocket before heading towards Apollo for roll-call.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TFX4FsHDE
I luckily made it in time, everyone's names were being read out by Michael, and I caught the slight sigh he made after calling my name.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhmv50PtGN
What is up his ass?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGfi9mGqUZ
As we were dismissed I see Raphael and Lakota make their way to me. I smile at them.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE21ItJ7fle
"Hey losers." I greet and Raph flips me off.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhzLWE5hH
Lakota smiles. "Hey, how was extra lessons?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnmC0DPUIH
"It was okay, I'm just tired and I'm really not in the mood for prep tonight." I say with a groan.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16osOt8d13
"Honestly same, I'm exhausted after track." Lakota said.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyI10Eqfa3
We make our way through the school and towards the cafeteria where we've been eating since Erika got us a table and since Deimos made sure to be there. Yep, he's still looming over my shoulder.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFttkymr3
We make it to the cafeteria and make our way down the line until we were served and headed to our table where the girls were already there and to my relief, Deimos was no where in sight.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHMYQQWJz
We sit down and Erika looks at me, her eyes searching my face. "Jeez Leon, were you in a fight?" She asks, her finger coming up to trace my face.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxXiDsJaYH
I laugh and shake my head. "Sparring practice with an enchanted punching bag ." I whisper to her and she nods.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBDan1cBxD
"Is that apart of some weird Jïlar training?" She asked softly and I nod.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjIQV6Lfr
"Yep."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqTy3MSnGE
"Hey! No whispering at the table you pigs." Raphael calls and I give him a sheepish smile while Erika throws a piece of purple broccoli at him. Yeah, the broccoli here is purple.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BFzetCObf
"Okay guys I didn't wanna bring this up because he was here but why the hell is Deimos sitting with us?" Lakota asks, his voice quiet and he kept peering over his shoulder to make sure Deimos wasn't around.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMd5lZesky
"Yeah Leon are you two going out or something?" Becs asks me and I shake my head very enthusiastically.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pip2GFYHs
"No no no no no no NO. I'm just as confused as you guys. I have no clue what he wants." I say.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipU6in2aIl
"We have our first Force task next week Monday, is that dickwad really gonna be with us?" Raphael asks softly as well.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAopjC07Vy
"Sh! He's coming!" Saeg says and we all cringe at that because from the distance he was at he most likely heard her say that.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHKplT3OJ
As usual he comes over and plops down next me and throws his arm over my shoulder and as I usually do, I shrug it off.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OltfNPYF2
"Hey gang. What are we talking about this fine evening?" He says, that same forced tone of his.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLhLVizmzI
I roll my eyes, starting to begrudgingly eat my dinner with this psycho next to me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T9jflLmjT
"Do you guys know what are Force Task is about?" I decide to ask.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMrqaUDQLX
"Moving refugees or something like that." Raph says, still that sour look on his face which I'm sure I'm sporting too.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdcfsuqEKR
"That could be fun!" Saeg says, trying to diffuse the tension.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm2NgrJ8fz
No one replies, the same weird vibe we've had since this dude invited himself to our table.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYzC9qI0Iw
"You guys wanna ditch prep and head to Mistweave?" Erika asks, everyone looks at her in surprise.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf6qPemhZV
"What? Never ditched prep before?" She asks and we all shake our shake heads.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRzmWawIRC
She rolls her eyes. "Well that's where I'm gonna be, y'all can join me if you want. Except you," She says with a smile in Deimos's direction.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4WjT1CuPi
I snort at that, even Saeg stifles her laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7IiO4QTRD
"That could be fun." Lakota says then looks at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ekq2m0Fc
I shrug, not really sure.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEakmdFa9e
"I've never ditched prep before. How would we even make it past Madam Vespera, that woman has an eye at the back of her head. Literally!" Saeg says and Rebecca laughs softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qerlmQYva
"Wait thirty minutes, then sneak out the back door they're usually never locked, well at least at my hostel." Erika says and Saeg claps her hands softly in excitement.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pqERkFCP8
"Leon, you in?" Erika asks then I look to Raph, he shrugs, not seeming to mind. I then look to Lakota and he nods.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTqShG5AWw
I smile at Erika. "We'll be there."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwHpicYEO
She smiles then Laemon announces the moment of silence for prayer.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7559YwAFMR
After the bell rings, we all begin to get up but Deimos catches my wrist.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROccFvRE5Y
"Sit." I hear his rough voice echo in my head.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2LSIX7fYD
I sigh, it seemed no one caught the exchange, I mean he did just telepathically order me so I guess there was no way for them to catch it.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD57C3wope
"You guys go ahead." I say to them and Lakota looks at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAaCuy2Jlf
'You sure?' He mouths and I smile and nod.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4c7yL4c2Y
He nods, before he gives Deimos a sideways glance before leaving with everyone else.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQNhhswCFN
I look to him in a heated glare.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuMQ3mQNd6
"What do you want with me Deimos?" I whisper to him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ730905bNK2
He shrugs putting his knife and fork together on his plate before looking at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nUjnnQu3
"What do you think I want?" He asks me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROJbF0qX8X
I huff. "We've played this game before and I don't like it." I say back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8ANabQqhp
He chuckles darkly. "You don't have much of a choice. Wether you play or don't is not up to you." He says to me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkj9SjVLZ2
I sigh, feeling like ripping my hair out.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqhgSjZNgr
"You see I have a predicament that only you can solve." He says to me and I look up at him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQLQ7Eu215
"I don't want to help you."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Svd6i4fG9
"Again. Not your choice, buttercup." He says, with that smile of his.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPvhP6dHf0
"I thought about it, and I realized that me just asking this of you and you not getting anything in return is cruel, even by my standards. So I decided to give you a proposal that you already can't say no to." He says and I look at him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3NfmUUSWB
Right then and there, I should have said no. I should have done something like blind him with a harmless ball of light or something!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcwSlXZ3P5
But I'm sure he's more than capable of stopping something so harmless.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq3kUhTiGF
"What's your big proposal?" I ask him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGaM0rbcb
"You see the council put the Essence dampening curse on me, so naturally I can't return to my practice or use my full abilities. But I found a loop whole." He says to me and I already feel the dread settle in my stomach.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCFjVUxP6p
"It's called the Vampire Tactic." He says.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKYyqnAtY
"So what? You suck Essence out of people?" I ask him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjA24rMB6z
"Essentially, yes. I steal Essence from people when we conduct sexual acts." He says and I feel my face heat up— what? I'm a virgin— well technically not really.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3hTOfKwCQ
"So...you wanna...have sex...with me?" I ask him in terror.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqH9olYfKV
He lets out a snort that's actually kinda cut— LEON NO. Do not think of the enemy as cute.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYIggtpVpP
"Take a guy out first, sheesh." He says and I roll my eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiX1bieMxB
"But in short, yes. Eventually I want to do that with you because your Essence incarnate, so after we do bits, the Essence I get from you will last me a while because you're the source." He says and I look at him like he's grown two heads because to me he has.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzwEnWQJtO
Who asks a random stranger to just drop their drawls and lie down ass up?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOtHRuhY0P
"And what's in this for me?" I ask.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK2TpyXrP9
He smiles. "I understand you just got the Solaria Aurialius, I can help you understand it and practice the spells in there."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1wQd1O1fd
"The professors are already helping me with that." I shoot back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdsD5YGb4R
He scoffs. "The professors are only going to teach you the things that keep you defenseless and controllable. If you keep following their teachings you'll be like lamb to the slaughter when you have to face Nepheros." He says. "Demons are also teachers of divine knowledge, I can help you become the most powerful person that has ever walked this realm, and with that you'll be able to defeat Nepheros with easy."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nh1tSk9sY
I search his features.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6qz1bGDH
Believe him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSOvwOWAHb
I continue to search his features.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hfxNa2XJ1
"There will be no strings attached, assuming you won't get attached." He says with a smirk and I roll my eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICwCR7lvD3
"I have a better chance of getting attached to a horse shoe than to you." I shoot back and he smiles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bSYcqmTzT
"Great. So there's no reason for you to say no." He says clapping his hands together once, I notice a silver ring around his betrothal finger. Yes, I said betrothal like an old victorian woman, not the point.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VZw1nk2Rz
I look back up to him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4X5bZUJAH
"I need time to think about this." I say to him and he smiles, not sweetly, more wretchedly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxRmTSBJTu
"Take all the time you need. Actually not all the time because I'm known to be a little impatient." He says back and I sigh rolling my eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0fpwI21oH
"I'm leaving now." I say and he puts his hands up in mock surrender.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSlNgsy2rJ
"Meet me in the Apollo bathroom at eleven., I expect an answer by then." He says and I shake my head in disbelief as I get up and grab my plate and head to the dumping bins.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeHRwFIEmH
What is with the boys here? Especially these prefects, who died and made them kings of everything? They're just assholes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPVj4brsi2
With a frustrated sigh I make my way back to my room to feed Seph, who I've kind of been neglecting.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVRTZn9Qdx
He was sat on my bed, curled up in a ball and Raphael wasn't in yet. I sit next to Seph and give him some much needed love, for both our sakes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgC4zDy6Bc
I just take a moment to just hold him, feeling his scales under my fingers.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xnlZsC19W
I feel like calling my dad. Yep, I'm gonna call them. Thank god for the schools fast WiFi.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBnAU1kl4b
I get out my phone and finds Craig's contact before tapping it and pressing it against my ear.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8cNfsEmXa
It rung a few times, before he his fat, jolly voice answered the phone.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMayW33QMV
"Hey bud, I've been waiting for you to call." He says and I smile at that.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XsKYKdN9I
"Sorry, I've been really busy with catching up and training and a bunch of other stuff." I reply with a huff.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO4zATkhP5
"You okay, champ? You seem tired." He says gently.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Es8UjXeYM
"I'm...managing. There's just a lot and there's just a lot weighing on my mind right now." I say, my voice admittedly quiet.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkwsBRDk1U
God this is probably gonna keep them up at night.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7c2f4Xbgd
"What's weighing you down?" He asks softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpYPhBDj8Q
"Just- a lot of people are expecting so much of me dad. So so many people. And there's something I have to do to help everyone but I just don't think I can." My heart felt heavy honestly, this whole Jïlar Giraffe stuff has been eating me alive.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxruyGLAotq
"You're a special kid Leon. More than special. But that doesn't mean you don't have your limits, if you feel you can work to get these tasks done then great, but if you feel you need to stop and take a breather— that's perfectly okay too." He says.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjlJj9TJw
"It's perfectly fine to take a break or question whether you can do this or not. You're special, but you're also just a kid." He adds, his tone carrying so much sincerity.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwOGGVL66N
I feel my lips tugging upwards. "Thanks Dad." I say and he hums.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1kRfft2L4
"Are the dark thoughts back?" He asks me softly and I myself deflate a little.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKrphazTN2
"No...not really. Just missing you guys." I say back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcldp0fnUcu
He hums. "You know we're here for you yeah?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfd61Gemq6
I smile. "I know."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkelwPY85ZB
"Okay, now tell me all the gossip. Oh, your mother's here too—"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIFdpOZM6R
"Hi sweety!" I hear Annie say and I smile brightly, even Seph sits up from the sound of her voice.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiR38l2JSH
"Hey Mom." I say and I hear her coo, I imagine that makes her melt since I've only ever called her mom a few times.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG5YklTGr7
"Oh honey tell us about all the cute boys and all the friends you've made!" She says cheerfully.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiXaa3FCZP
"The boys here are okay. And I've made some really cool friends," I say with a smile and just on queue Raph and Lakota walk into the room but stop talking when they see I'm on the phone.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSnBHqILX3
"What are they like?" Craig muses.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kfxdfE3YM
"My roommate and my next door neighbor are with me most of the time. And some girls from the other hostel." I say. "They've made this whole experience a lot less scary."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjGmRFTm3s
Lakota makes a heart with his hands and Raph steps over and ruffles my hair.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnqcZBDkPK
"We're so happy for you sweety, remember be safe and dont let people pressure you in the sexual department." Mom says and everyone including me splutters a laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn8eSKcCTN
That's ironic because that's quite literally the situation I'm in right now. God if they knew, they'd probably implode.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIIKTzBD9z
Oh lord how did I get myself in this situation.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmSm3DPoZ
"I won't. But I have to go now, we have prep." I say to them after my internal conflict.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHlZ5BWpzK
"Okay bub, be safe. We love you and call your siblings sometime, they are driving me up the wall." Mom says and I laugh softly, I can already imagine the bull Jordan has gotten into.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKBly24NiZ
"I will, bye." They say goodbye before I end the call.
I look up to Raphael and Lakota that were sat on Raph's bed on their phones.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEluBRBSm
"Are we still heading to Mistweave during prep?" I ask them and they look up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnw6RVJnfa
Kota smiles and nods. "Yeah, Erika said she'd meet us there."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvnoMXEuC2
I smile and nod. "I won't swim, I'll just come chill."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I8MAebsJN
Raphael frowns. "No Leon, come on. It's a late evening deep, even if it's two minutes just swim."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrPNuKca6C
I smile teasingly at Raphael. "If I didn't know any better Raph I'd think you're trying to see me without my clothes on,"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO9jKO5ebn
Kota laughs and Raph narrows his eyes at me before flipping me off. Boy, he loves that finger.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIpzu1u6pC
"You wish. You want your demon boyfriend to come and drag me to hell." He says and my expression contorts in sourness.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT5zghW8My
"He is not my boyfriend. I'd much rather kiss a toad than date that psychopath." I respond in distaste.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vpuArJycZ
The bell begins to ring and Kota gets up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqMi6MR75W
"Come call me before we leave," He says and I give him a thumbs up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydb6IanZTy
"If you can, just do your homework before we head out." Raph says and I nod, starting to take out all my books.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYwlAhxWBI
The professors said they weren't going to give me much homework because I already have a lot on my plate but it hasn't stopped them. I still have quite a lot to do.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs81oiLsuec
So as Seraphim eats his food I spend the next thirty minutes doing my homework and other assignments, it wasn't a long time so naturally I wasn't able to finish.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP1WkxIXL3
That's when Raphael tapped my shoulder, I pulled out my headphones and looked to see he's dressed in a casual shirt with swimming trunks and a towel.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms9OVsDPVX
I get up and quickly got changed into a white compression shirt that I can swim in, I kept my back away from Raphael so he couldn't see the seal and changed into my swimming trunks before grabbing my towel, patting Seph on the head and taking my phone.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgrTH455H9
Raphael led the way out, we grabbed Lakota from his room and we snuck out of the hostel seamlessly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTa9Zgmizv
"Don't teachers walk around campus? Won't they see us?" I ask and Raph shakes his head.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5OzRSkLke
"Nah, no one really comes to Mistweave, thats why a lot of people come here to drink on the weekends." He says and I nod.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBeY4CrCT3
We walk to Mistweave and I zone out as Kota and Raph talk, not on purpose, just in my head about this whole thing with Deimos.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ1cJwAJJo
What am I gonna do?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29OD9Qu974
I'm not actually going to prostitute myself for power, am I?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSfaANVFbr
I mean, I do need to stop that Nepheros guy before he finds that domino thingy.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6QJCJSNvM
Goodness.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36gG1fNJ1v
We get to Mistweave where Rebecca was in the water, her pretty blue tail on display as her and Saeg giggled as Erika smiled with them in the water.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd0ndV75xC
"Hey guys!" Saeg says happily when she sees us and Rebecca waves too.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jy4EJEoDK
We smile and return the gesture. There's a pile of towels and that's where we put ours as well.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IqsNiBCEH
With a bright shimmer, Saeg's wings appear behind her and she flutters elegantly out of the pool and onto the mainland and walks over to us.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGEautVZhx
She runs over to us, her wings disappearing as she takes us in hug. Raph laughs and hugs her back, as well as Kota.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBLBvQqH26
She pulls back from us. "Come on, Rebecca made the water warm." She says smiling.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPDJRwckrJ
I look to Rebecca in question. "You made the water warm. Like you peed?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaEv5rkznq
She laughs. "Yeah but I didn't pee, water spirit remember?" She says and a small 'ahh' leaves my mouth.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqKeFYn6ij
Raph doesn't take time he just dives into the water, Kota follows and canon balls.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2hxBeySKJ
Saeg and I walk in like normal people. Once I'm neck deep, I dunk my head into the water for a few moments.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QVs6wmQVe
This feels good.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQObW2muZii
And wow, it really was warm.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmJpxgNldg
I emerge and smile at everyone who was looking at me weirdly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIIfy2bZUZ
"What? Is there something on my face?" I ask, patting my face frantically.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCObbvzfOwM
Erika laughs. "No, you were just under there for a little while."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ZqBbKWqC
I look at them in confusion.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gSBLslZeq
"You were under water for like five minutes Leon. And you're not even out of breath." Kota says in concern. Wow, was I really under there for that long?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLW6PensRT
"Strong lungs?" I offer with a shrug and they laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrKmFKVuQJ
"Let's chicken fight." Raphael suggests enthusiastically and Saeg gasps, clapping her hands in excitement.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVi2c1szQA
"Omg let's do ittt." Saeg cheers.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqDEEEmivc
I laugh. "How are we gonna do this if Becs has no legs." I say pointing to her tail.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHOAo2BX3C
She smiles. "I'll referee."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhddJt5hTu2
"I'll commentate." Kota says.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnLj7IWyY3
Raph looks to me challengingly. "Me and Saeg against you and sergeant emo over there."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7page95hvc
"Eat shit!" Erika says and Raph sticks his tongue out to which Erika flips him off.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXBBunRaV
I except the challenge. "You're on."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AoWOe0mDl
He claps his hands in excitement and starts to lower himself in the water for Saeg to get on but she stops him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAIIof0eF0
With the same bright shimmer, her wings reappear and she flutters up until she's comfortably sat on Raph's shoulders.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYBi6PENw
"Let's do this." She says with determination.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MPFpui5Mn
I look to Erika and lower myself under water for her to get on. She gets the memo and hops on.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0dp2jKvvY
"To the right, the mean, the fierce, the bold. LEON AND ERIKA!" Lakota announces, then he makes crowd cheering noises.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVVvjBopcN
"To the right, the cheerful, the splendid, the fantastic, RAPHAEL AND SAEG!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFvD2gqX5d
Raphael flexes his muscles, as Lakota cheers them on.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvxUcoG5aG
"You ready to make that asshole and miss sunshine over there eat shit?" Erika asks looking down at me, I hold onto her thighs and smile.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTUYXfdQ8
"Let's drag these hoes." I say and she cheers.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrZgmvuQtU
"Okay, on three!" Rebecca calls.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxwXVEGrbQ
"One!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUP8MSzVur
"Two!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD3QYg5qIO
"Three! Go go go!" She cheers and immediately Raphael charges at us.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HRcLG9nbB
"Look alive Leon!" Erika calls, and I also charge at Raphael.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDFHFkZdgU
Erika was quick and decisive, pushing Saeg's hands away before pushing her pretty roughly. Raphael's hands came at me like he was hungry for blood.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiGNwdUeKE
I grabbed onto his wrists and kept him from coming any closer, but man was this boy strong. I wonder what they feed them up in heaven cause jeez.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ14lzavMC
Also, he's super toned.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3MtJOfpu0
"Leon focus!" I hear Lakota shout.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJVrgqqNad
"Hey no side line coach-" Raphael says but I pushed him hard that it made him stumble back. Saeg, who I didn't know could play dirty, fluttered her wings to stop Raph from falling into the water completely.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjbohdJGAk
"You dog that's cheating!" Erika says and Saeg just innocently shrugs, fluttering her wet eyelashes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu3GClTKEX
"Referee?" I question but Rebecca herself was stifling her laughter and just shrugged.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYgQbxixp5
When I zoned back into the game Raphael was in front of me, and held onto my shoulders before shoving me back while Saeg pushed Erika back and the both of us came crushing down.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlHQ8pXbig
We resurface to see Saeg and Raphael cheering victoriously.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCYYbmHN0N
"Fucking cheaters." Erika laughs and Raph makes an L with his fingers and sticks it up on his forehead.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms5sdjwbqS
"Another round let's go." I say already preparing myself to get Erika back on my shoulders.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoQGCvwNAs
"So eager to lose again huh?" Raph teases.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JHfcDD4CB
"Quit being a dog and let's do this again." I say and he smiles. Saeg flies up to his shoulders again and sits down as Erika hoists herself on my shoulders.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6fDsj7WMt
"What's our game plan?" She whispers.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmT6RLGw9
"I have no clue, what should we do?" I ask her.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbdRmPUZAR
"Can't you do some weird god shit?" She whispers and I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX8KMzNeV0
"What do you think I am? I can't just strike them with lightning bolts or something." I laugh and she shrugs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY3ZV8xW3J
"Just thinking aloud here." She huffs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsHWdbZxRp
Hehe, idea.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEroPQ7W2Ax
"I have an idea." I say and she raises a brow.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrtUyTAyAJ
"You distract them when we start then I'll pat your leg for you to trash talk Raphael." I whisper and she smiles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDz52rh2al
"Got it."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNw7gAc9RC
"Today ladies!" Raph calls and I was the one to flip him off and he laughed loudly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiglmACM4vi
"We're ready." Erika calls and they smile.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcGwd6bys0
"For the second round, our fierce competitors are ready to bring it home. It's anybodies game, who shall come out victorious!" Lakota commentates and I actually laugh at that.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhalXvdzT64
"One!" Becs calls.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSse8tdK6D
"Two!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfqTeN8Zz3
"Three! Go go go!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlkEflwZmD
I was the one to charge first, but Raphael was able to stabilize the impact, grasping onto my arms and holding me away.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV129aSxEWp
He manages to push me back and I stumble but manage to stabilize my footing on the wet rocks under me. Before Raph charged at me, I patted Erika's leg.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPSUOxMgZN
"You call that pushing pussy, I've seen my grandma push harder than that with her one good hip!" Erika taunts and I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnnR5O0LL5
Raph scowls. "I bet I could steal beat you AND your grandma!"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdijsPXdgS
"Ha you wish, you're built weaker than Leon and Kota. And they're both twinks, what's your excuse?" She taunts more, and it's not true, Raph is way huger than Kota and I but it's still funny.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcGLKiJxiR
Raphael charges at us with a lot more oomf. I take a deep breath before holding my hands out in front of me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28lKSb8c4i
Right as Raph was about to push me, a bright pop of light flashed in front of us that even made me squint my eyes, and I can stare at the sun for twenty minutes without my eyes burning. Ethan timed me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwprJqVLgVv
"Fuck!" Raph curses, even Saeg covers her eyes and that's when I charge and I fully body slam into Raph sending him and Saeg toppling over and landing in the water with a loud splash.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTZETkO9F
Erika lets out a laugh of surprise and ruffles my wet hair. Rebecca and Kota cheering on the side lines.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFqn6eltr3
Raph resurfaces with a sour expression etched onto his face. Saeg on the other hand was smiling so brightly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcAAeHZf3w
"Last round. Whoever loses has to give up their dessert for the whole week." Raphael challenges.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoy5FzPlBj
"You're on dickwad. Let's get this thing done." Erika says, from the way my cheeks are hurting I'm sure I'm smiling like an idiot.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cWjX6JWxi
Saeg gets back on his shoulders, Raphael beats his chest with his fists before brushing his curls out of his face.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dVUCTLDDl
"Let's do this shit!" Raph cheers.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlCd3Z6euA
"Last round and the whole world seems to be holding their breath for this exact moment. Its anybodies win ladies and gentlemen, the stakes are high and the tension is higher." Lakota calls making that voice that actual commentators make. And no it wasn't an impression, it was like he literally stole their voice.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xt5HBiQOs
How the hell?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm4QNNT3jk
"Leon!" Erika screeches and I zone back to where Raph was charging at us, really fast I was confused on how he was moving so fast until I saw a HUGE pair of these gorgeous brown wings behind him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wl0XbFpfW
Oh shit!
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83dwqNEqp2
I braced myself but held my ground and pushed onto his chest. My footing was slipping, causing me to be pushed back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYFiRtCOeh
Raphael was pushing hard, his wings causing large ripples on the water.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwPI6iskDr
"You winged fucks!" Erika shouts as she tries to push Saeg off Raphs shoulders who was also using her wings to support them.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MgAKcWGB6
"Leon, this is time for some action!" Erika calls in apprehension. What the hell am I gonna do against an angel and a freaking faery?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSWLiGYgI4
"Is that Michael walking over here!" I say pointing my finger in the direction behind them and they stop to look in fear.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8zTPpUJqg
"Erika now!" I shout and both of us use all our strength to push the hell out of these two.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUpi6Ivyy5
Saeg goes flying off of Raph's shoulders, a yelp coming out of her as Raph tumbled back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqXRVHp7V
"And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, Team Fierce wins the chicken fight!" Kota cheers and Rebecca cheers for us.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWmv9eOO9j
Erika and I cheer loudly as if we've just won the freaking Super Bowl. Erika hugs my head and I spin us around until we both fall into the water laughing. And I accidentally swallowed some of the water. Yuck, god knows how many people have peed in here.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfr32I8SeD
We resurface and Erika smiles brightly. "Looks like you losers owe us dessert for the next week."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCcrz59kVr
Raph rolls his eyes, but smiles and I was thankful he wasn't actually mad.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNMpdvEUkQ
"God that was so much fun!" Saeg cheers, I smile and swim to the edge of the pool and hoist myself up and sit on the ground.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCE4XdlsmW
"That was a lot of effort." Raph says as he joins me and I hum.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aVho0eS6w
"You're good competition." He smiles and I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPitZJ5m7fi
"You tried to kill me."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2I060izU
"Hey I'm just passionate." He says and I laugh. Becca and Saeg come over and sit with us, Saeg does some weird hand movement before soft music starts playing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bL8mpVZIC
I smile as the song starts playing, I put this on Saeg's playlist. It was Telephones by Vacations.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGej0TGxwv
Erika and Kota also come to join us and for the next hour we just sit and appreciate each other's presence. The sun setting, casting the sky's reflections onto Mistweave, it was honestly perfect. And for the first time since I got here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than with these beautiful people.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvg3ur8mdn
•••
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lgrX7cRG
I was woken up at eleven on the dot by my crazy alarm.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFN9JQtnpI
I shut it off before it had the chance to wake up Raphael who was passed out with an eye mask of his face.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6eo7SX5SI
I sit up and think why in gods name am I awake right now.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gXb8z4Ttw
Mm, why am I awake?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSvkV2laPP
Let's back track. Went to Mistweave, snuck back in, did my homework and some grounding meditation, then got ready for bed and fell asleep with Seph.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QHspVcur
So why am I awake?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7TdMbUFAR
Deimos.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbmimndTwY
Oh shit.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRUIsuKdP
I let out a soft groan as I threw my head back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcU3BX6mdm
I huff and get up, throwing my robe on and keeping my bonnet on my head as I make my way out of my room and towards the bathroom.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT0MbjVbrM
As I walked past, most of the lights on our floor were off except one. I keep walking to the bathroom and the lights were dimmer than usual and it kinda smelt like...sulfur?
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vOrl6rQPk
I walk in cautiously and there stood by the sinks was Deimos. His full school uniform on, he looked hot not gonna lie and I could smell his cologne over the smell of sulfur, he smelt good too.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAkGCgPDST
He snorts. "This is how you dress when you come see me?" He asks.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQLeCamqB2
"What are you? The king of England?" I retort.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuvf7Jkhax
His lip tugs up. "I hope you've had enough time to think about my offer."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdewX8rPSY
"The offer I don't have a choice in?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP3Qbzss31
"Exactly." He smirks.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxw3ojcYf
I sigh. "I've thought about it."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBCvo5hAlN
"And I'll do it." I say and he smiles, taking three bold step to me and pulling me by the waist and leaning towards me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yL76PHoyK
"Ap ap ap ap ap," I say putting my fingers over his lips and pushing them away from me. "If we're gonna do this, we're doing this my way."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBkyxUYxyz
"Excuse me?" He says, his eyes getting dark again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdrPM3Kh4
"Should I speak slow for you to understand better? My way," I asserted and I was proud of that.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRVV0CR42U
"And what makes you think you have a say in this?" He asks, his hands getting tighter around my waist.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fLSyzf6j5
"My body. My choice. Or you can piss off. Your choice." I say looking up at him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6XerA00qk
Surprisingly he smiles and raises his hands in surrender, taking a step back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkVRhZrto3
"I don't want to offend the all powerful Jïlar—"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LGUnPLUo8
"Oh can it with that crap." I interrupt.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKCVZ4Vg8Y
I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Look. We go as fast as I'm comfortable with, anytime you cross that line or do something I'm not ready for, I'm done. We'll be doing our 'little meet ups', every three days. No more, no less. Assuming that will keep you charged or whatever. Then you help me with the Solaria everyday after everyone has gone to bed at a discussed meeting point. That's it." I say and he smirks again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29nuNBmwWS
"So demanding." He says and I roll my eyes. "Might as well start now." He says, my eyebrows furrow.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUMwKFMxCK
"We can start with the Solaria after the Summer Solstice after tomorrow." I say and he chuckles shaking his head.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlUN7FMKV0
He walks up to me, his hands coming to my waist again and pulling me flush against his chest.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sB1uMM9x0
"First, I'm getting what I want." He says hoarsely, I was about to protest but his lips crashed into mine.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a2Tfy6mnm
My eyes were wide, and I was even more shocked when the lights began to flicker violently. His tongue delved into my mouth as I stayed unresponsive, the lights still flickering and the taps began to run. One by one.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegnK61nhrM
The hell.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXpzI2cKLJ
After the last tap turned off, after a moment they all turned off and the lights stopped flickering. Deimos pulled back, and I looked up at him in shock as his eyes spiraled red in color.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9hjDTaM2w
The veins in his neck and hand bulging eerily.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zuEuhFydn
He closes his eyes and turns his head up to the ceiling. When he opens his eyes, his eyes are back to green.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ReDsBVEp
He smirks at me. "Get some rest. The Solstice will be a special day for you." He says and I was about to question him, shadows engulfed the room, leaving nothing visible.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIlmnIsn9B
A moment later, they were gone with small whispers and Deimos was gone too.
