The chant was getting louder and louder. Ginika felt annoyed and frustrated. He would never have thought that helping out someone would end him being in such hot water.
Before he could even yell to everyone to stop, Ms. Owen already did it for him.
“Shut up all of you!” She yelled on top of her lungs. Miraculously, there was no need for her to do so again since the people already quiet down.
Ms. Owen glared at Ginika, “You will surely regret this,” Ms. Owen spat as she picked the seven boys who were bleeding all over their faces.
He agrees but, that would just make Ms. Owen gloat at him.
Ginika jerked his hands from the boys that held him and walked up the stairs. He caught the mischievous smile on the face Richard, but he was too engrossed with meeting the Master to pay any mind to the boy.Dante was pacing around the room when he finally walked into the office and shut the door behind him. He looked so anxious that even Ginika felt worried for him. “I told Vera that this would happen.” Dante was saying, “But she would not listen to me.”Vera… I am sorry... Ginika promised her that he wouldn’t cause trouble. He promised that he would lay
“Wow, wow. Easy,” Ginika said as he quickly steps in front of Gabriel. He then held Gen by the shoulders and pushed her backward, hoping to keep her away from Gabriel. It was a struggle for the girl’s fang had already extended and yelling for blood. Gen glared at Ginika, “I will kill him,” she declared threateningly. Ginika glared back at the Vampire girl, “No, you won’t. You can’t just attack anyone because of simple words like that.” he said, reprimanding. “Can you just relax and cool down?” He demanded. It was a struggle to push back the girl despite his own special ability. Ginika was already panting now, and his muscle was burning with pain.
Ginika chuckled, “Sweet, you think we are sweet and cute? Or you think I am only that?” Ginika asked playfully. Gen looked at him blankly before she nodded. “Yes, Gini. You are cute, but your blood is sweet, that’s what I mean,” She seriously explained while eyeing him like a piece of meat. Wrong question, Ginika thought to himself as he swallowed and took a step back from the girl. Who knows if she suddenly decided to jump on him? Wait! How did she know his blood, his sweet? With that question in mind, Ginika could not help but look at Gen suspiciously.
Foolish man. Look how you have chosen to advertise your filthiness with some lowlife rascals. Eric disdainfully thought to himself as he watched the current Emperor having a good time. “It’s your birthday party, boy. Do the people in the kingdom some favor by putting a smile on your face,” Ganto said. Eric returned his eyes to his untouched food. The red berries were still staring at him, as if begging him to take a bite.“This is the third-month, sir. How much longer will this birthday party last?”He asked curiously. Eric was already getting tired of all the pe
“There has been a trouble, my lord.” The Emperor laughed at the joke of the Bard-man. He was not even paying attention to the cavalier and the two people who were kneeling with their forehead kissing the marble floor.“Let me handle this, while my lord enjoys his party,” Eric whispered to his flippant father.“That’s alright, my, boy. Handle the matter on my behalf.” Ganto said and laughed again. The crowd was in a state of frenzy now and were all laughing hilariously with at the jokes of the Bard-man who was playing his pipe and cracking jokes at the same time.“What is the situation,” Eric asked as he stood up from the chair and toward
Ginika cursed as he slammed his head on the tree. His head throbs as an excruciating pain from his head spread throughout his body, until he could no longer see clearly from the blurred vision.“I that what you have been learning for the past six months? The transition is next month, Gini, and you are not even prepared.”Ginika gnashed his teeth at Gen’s resounding voice. He tried to stand but fell back on his knees again. Everywhere was spinning. Even his thoughts. If he was not ready, then how would he face the dragons on the day of the transitions. It was said that they would battle not only rogue dragons, but some other dangerous beast that would not even give him the chance to think about his name.
“Here what—”“Shush,” Gen shushed as her ears studied the wind, “Wait here.” She said and trotted into the dark. She was just a few paces away from Ginika when her body disintegrated into different thousands of bats and flew away. Ginika bite his lips, but released them when he felt the pain. At least I am not in some kind of dream.He collected his bag from the floor and threw the wooden sword into it. He had other weapons in the bag and was still working on his skill to master them. The bag belongs to Balak; it was the one thing that reminded him of the man. Even though there was no love lost between them, a tiny voice in his head still wished that the man was here. Balak had been the one that had taught him the first art of swordsmanship. Let your courage speak when fear tries to raise its voice. The man had always said. Even though they had spent a short time together, he was sure that he learned a great deal from the WatcherBetty and Gabriel were fast asleep now. The way their
Ginika felt his stomach falling into a void. They killed master Dante. The boy’s words resounded in his ears. The guilt that had been creeping in his stomach was overshadowing him now. If only he had obeyed the rules and had followed on as he had promised, perchance he would still be in the brotherhood, and master Dante would still have been alive. The brotherhood would not have been aflame, and this weeping boy would not have envisioned crying like this.“What happened?” Someone asked from behind, but Ginika knew the voice all too well. It was Betty, and the person who was panting heavily behind her would be Gabriel, no doubt.“I caused it all,” Ginika said, “I had not been so foolish, perhaps everyone would still be alive.”“Stop brooding over what has happened and start looking at the bright side. If we had stayed here in the academy, we would have died.”“Are there others?” Ginika asked the little boy who was still crying a river, totally ignoring Betty.“Yes, but just a hand few o
