CHAPTER 7

 "How come she became Illusionist?"

 "I thought there was no illusionist left?"

 "That was a rare power, right? How come she has those powers?"

 "So what if she's an illusionist? She's still weak. The only difference is that she has a rare power."

 I sighed in my mind. I'll just whisper what I still hear. That's why you're still surprised, how come you know everything?

 "You may now take your seat," said sir Rios so I walked to my seat

 I saw Chloe take out her foot to stab me. I pretended I didn't notice that. I have to pretend to be a lame and weak nerd. And this is the beginning of my pretense.

 I did not avoid Chloe's foot so I stumbled causing everyone to laugh.

 "Such a weakling and ugly nerd. You don't belong here" Chloe said mockingly

 I felt someone pull me upright.

 "Are you okay Raven?" Troy asked worriedly

 "I'm fine Troy," I replied and smiled

 I looked at Chloe and read jealousy and pain in her eyes. Hmmm... She's secretly in love with Troy huh.

 I looked at troy. He's looking at Chloe. I can see the disappointment in his eyes but I can see other emotions in his eyes that he is trying to hide.

 Love and longing.

 Hmmm... This is interesting. I felt someone staring at me so I turned around and saw Ash staring at me.

 What is his problem? Tsk. So I stared at him as he stared. What did he think I could not stare back at him?

 We just stopped staring when Troy spoke.

 "I don't know that you can be this low Chloe. You really changed. You're not the Chloe we knew before." said troy and traces the frustration

 So they knew each other before huh? There's a lot of thoughts coming into my mind. I think I have already a conclusion on what happened between them.

 "I don't care if you're disappointed or what troy. I'll do what I want and you can't do anything about it." Chloe said and raised her eyebrow.

 "Enough troy. I'm fine. It’s no big deal." I said

 "Are you sure?" he asked

 I did not answer and just nodded. I’m too lazy to speak. I'm just trying to be talkative. I’m being too talkative today. I feel so exhausted. I sat down in my chair.

 "Okay. That's enough. So our discussion for today is all about gods and goddesses. We all know that gods and goddesses were the most powerful kinds in our world. They are the ones who created us and they are the ones who gave our powers to us. We were worshiping them as a sign of our respect. They are the ones with the purest heart. They do not sin or make mistakes. They have a law that says they can not love those who are not their kind. Yes they're kind but if one of them broke even just one rule they're going to kill those who dares to disobey them” sir Rios said

 What he's saying right now catches my attention. Sir Rios was about to speak when someone raised his hand.

 "Sir Why can't they love their kind? Does that mean they have no freedom to love whoever their heart desires? That's so cruel."

 Everyone who heard agreed.

 "Well, that's their way of keeping their purity. Because when they love someone like them they will be tainted by evil. The purity they kept on protecting was going to lose. Their purity symbolizes their kind and it's precious to them. That is their rule we should respect it” sir Rios explained

 Purity? Huh! That's insane! Every kind has darkness within them it's just that the one who they called gods and goddesses knows how to control it.

 "Sir, you said earlier that they can't do anything wrong, but isn't killing someone just because they love someone that is different from them a sin? Everyone has the right to love whoever their heart desires."

 The male student added. He had a point.

 "For them, it's not wrong. For them, it's the most right thing to do. Once they do not follow their rules they no longer think of it as an ally but an enemy. An enemy who has no right to live. Anyone who tries to break their law is a disgrace in their race because they are the ones who lead the whole Avalor they should be a good example to everyone. Because how can everyone follow them if they can not follow their own policy that they made themselves." Sir Rios explained

 He got a point too. No one follows a leader who cannot follow their own law.

 "Sir, is there anyone who has broken their law not to love those who are not their kind?"

 That question caught my full attention.

 "There is."

 "Who?"

 "The king and queen of Avalor"

 I saw the shock on the faces of others. Apart from the Royal Council, they seem to have known about it for a long time.

 "It means the rumor is true? I thought it was just a rumor."

 "No. It's true. Queen Victoria was a Goddess and King Calix was a Demon before"

 "Sir I thought you said they are killing anyone who violates their law so why is Queen Victoria still alive? She loved a demon and as far as I remember Demons had the same rule with gods and goddesses. They also cannot love those who are not their kind."

 "Yes, it's true. What they went through was not a joke. It was hell. My own eyes saw the bloodshed and life before they were finally together. Eventually, they also agreed to let them go. eventually together in exchange for something, they have to give up what or who they really are. The king and queen agreed because this is the only way for them to be together. Because they can not be together because the queen is a goddess and the king is a demon The prophecy states that a creature with the blood of different races, one from darkness and one from goodness is destined to destroy or save the whole world. That’s why the policy not to fall in love with someone of their race had started"

 "Sir, is the King and Queen the first and last to break their law?"

 "Of course. They're the first and last to break that law, aren't they sir?" a female classmate of mine spoke

 "The truth is that there are others ahead of them." sir Rios said

 I saw that everyone was surprised as well as the Royal Councils. It looks like they just found out.

 "And it's your task. You need to know who is the first goddess that fell in love with a demon. That's all for today. I want the next time we meet you already know the answer or else." sir Rios threatened before he left.

 My classmates also left. The Royalties and I are the only ones left.

 "You go first Lia I'm just going to the library," I said

 "You sure? What if Chloe's group is waiting for you outside? Just come with us so we can all be in the dorm together." Lia asked worriedly

 Why is she like that? She just knew me a few hours ago and now she's acting as if we've been friends since we're kids. I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

 "Yes. Don't worry. I'm fine." I said with a fake smile

 "Okay," Lia replied and they left to go to their dorm

 I immediately walked to the library. I think my jaw became numb because I keep on smiling all day.

 I don't really know how others can smile for a long time. Tsk.

 When I went to the library I searched for the book I needed so I could find out all the information I needed.

 I have reached the end of the search. Eventually I found what I needed. I was about to take it when suddenly I saw something shining at the very end. I went right away. As I approached I closed my eyes to too much light. But that did not stop me from getting the thing that was shining. Gradually the light gradually faded until the light completely disappeared and I saw that it was a book. It was a brown book. It just looks like an ordinary book. It's just that it has a strange symbol in the middle of it. I don't know but someone tells me here all the information I need.

 Suddenly my hand moved alone and touched the strange symbol. I suddenly felt my palm hurt. There was nothing sharp in my hand so why did I get wounded? I saw how the color of the book changed. From a simple dark brown book, it became light brown with a green diamond on each side and an aqua blue crystal in the middle.

 I first checked to see if anyone was there and when I saw no one I opened it. It shone again but he was not as light as before just so I could see the light. The light is blue and has a three-circle design that looks like a ritual. I do not understand the designs inside the circles.

 Eventually, the light disappeared and I read what was on the first page.

 'UNTOLD SECRETS'

 I immediately took it and put it inside my bag in my dorm just to read it.

 When I got to my dorm I immediately lay down on the bed and picked up the book and read.

 'The first goddess and demon that fall with each other and break their sacred rule are Serena and Kaizer. Serena is one of the powerful goddesses in Olympus. She's the 12th granddaughter of Aphrodite. She was the only one left that has Zeus blood so she was treated as the Queen of the gods and goddesses. While Kaizer is the only son of Hades and Persephone. They were both killed by their own kinds because- '

 Cut? I opened the next page and suddenly letters appeared

 'If you really wanted to know the answers to all of your questions then you must read this book till the end. If you finished reading this you need to know my name and write it on the blank page on the last page of this book '

 I immediately closed the book. I need to sleep too much as my brain is overloaded today. I need to rest.

 Serena and Kaizer…

 I touched my chest when I felt as if something was in my chest.

 How do I feel? Why are so many weird things happening to me since I came to this world? Tsk. Never mind. I'll just go to sleep.
