"Punches! Blocks! Kicks!" Sensei Helia commanded his students as they obeyed the command accurately. They have been practicing those basic moves for two hours now and they all wondered in their minds why the sensei was making them practice the basic moves they already have at their finger tips for such a long time.
"Concerntrate! Focus on the energy that revolves around you. Harden your fists! Hold your defenses, straighten and harden your kicks!" The commands kept coming from the sensei as he sat on a wooden chair he got from the cottage, hitting his cane on the ground in a definite rhythm. They continued practicing the moves till the alarm for lunch time sounded loud in the whole institute. They all were just so exhausted and didn't wait for their master to dismiss them but just left to pick their things and leave on their own. "Meditation class everyone is two hours before dinner. Do well to fill your stomachs now for it won't be nice to hear the roars of the monsters in your belly in my class". Their loud laughter was heard as they all dispersed one after the other. 'Monsters in your belly' Lilith thought. It reminded her of her mom. She really wished she was doing fine back home. She just missed her so much. "Hey purple head" Lyra walked to where Lilith stood, gulping the water in her purple water bottle. “It gets even wierder to know that your water can is purple too. I am even certain that if we did not have an attire for the institute, you will look disgusting everyday with your purple usuals". Lilith swallowed water in her mouth and covered her bottle before speaking to Lyra. “Hi Lyra. I am so sorry for what happened yesterday and l promise l won't hurt you again. So if you will excuse me, l have launch to eat. See you at the dining hall". She ignored her and took her bag to leave. "Don't you dare walk out on me!" Lyra yelled as she retreated her steps by drawing back her hair. "Who do you even think you are?" "What is going on here?" "Sensei Helia" they both bowed to the sensei. They did not even notice when he stood from his chair a bit far from where they were to meet them here. "I asked a question" he said calmer than he was supposed to. "Oh sensei" Lyra fell to the floor, faking a broken leg. "I was just adjusting Lilith's hair as a good sister but she gave me a hard back kick, causing me a fractured heel, oh sensei" she squealed in fake pain as she forced tears out of her eyes. "That's a total lie!" Lilith barked. "That is certainly not true sensei. She is lying. Sensei she was the one who... " "Enough Lilith" he shut her up with his hand raised. "May I see your bracelet?" "Sure" she stretched out her left arm, not hesitating for one second, even though she was not sure of what he wanted to do. He placed his thumb on it and her stats projected. LEVEL 1:Responsibility: 5%, exceptional self-defense skills 0% attack skills 0% emotional mastery 0% respect 10% honor 10% discipline 15%. "Hmm. May l see yours Lyra" Lyra now knew she was in deep danger but it was too late now. The sensei was definitely going to find out that Lilith was innocent. "Lyra!" He called again, noticing that she was some what lost. "Of course sensei" she stretched out her right arm too. He placed his thumb on it as well and her stats too projected like Lilth's earlier. LEVEL 1:Responsibility 0%, exceptional self-defense skills 0% attack skills 10% emotional mastery 0% respect 5% honor 2% discipline 5%. "And there you have it" he gave Lyra a hard glare. "Lilith you can go, Lyra stay back and serve your punishment". "Thank you so much sensei" Lilith smiled beautifully as she walked away. She was really satisfied that Lyra was going to get the punishment she deserved, she was definitely a jerk and had ruined her afternoon. Infact, she no longer felt like going for lunch so she just went back to her room to take a shower instead. "Hey" Andreas waved at her from where he lay on her bed. "Hi Andreas" she waved back, throwing her back pack on him playfully as she began to remove her training attire. She had no plans of fully undressing before him, but she was sure going take off her gi and wear her inner clothes to the bathroom which were just her camisole and tight shorts. She didn't look that sexy in it because her body was just a slim one and she wasn't fully mature yet but that was definitely not Andreas's point of view. He felt himself get hard whenever she dresses like that before him even she was still young and not yet an adult. Though he loved the view but he was not sure how long he could stare at it and do nothing and he did not know how to explain to her that she was a young woman and must keep her body to herself alone. Maybe all this was his fault, he had been with her since she was five and she has grown to see him as someone she could totally be open with. But he could swear that she was really going to pay for all the torture she was causing him now when she gets older. She sat by the mirror and stared at her reflection for some time before she sighed and turned to him. "I missed lunch" she said abruptly not excepting him to reply till she was done and he understood well and did not speak. "Lyra ruined my day today, but l am happy sensei Helia stood up for justice and will definitely punish her for trying to accuse me for what l did do. She just hates me, and l can't tell why". "Are you sad?" He asked her sitting up from the bed. "Or are you hungry?" "I am sad that she does not like me but l lost my appetite". "Don't worry about her, maybe in your next class which is?..." "This evening" "Yes this evening. Try to talk her first and iron things out. I see no reason why should have any enemies in your first year here" "I will do that, just that" she stood from the chair and walked to the bathroom. "I will just take a shower and head back out. And for the record, I had the worst first class ever but my sensei is a wonderful man, l like him" she snapped before entering the bathroom. "Such a cute soul. So this is the prince's secret"...Lilith fell on her bed after minutes of staring into nothingness, thinking of no particular thing as her thoughts wondered from whether she owed Rain an apology to if they were still willing to help her, that is both she and Florate. As she lay on her bed, she curled herself up and began to sob uncontrollably. ‘Why was neither Rain or Florate understanding her? Were they really going to forsake her now and let her handle things in her own? Anyways, she did not care. All she knew was that she was going to save Gorgor and reunite with Andreas by all means. “I will not give up Andreas. Even if no one agrees to help me, I will do it alone. I will restore light to Gorgor and I will be reunited with you, I promise" she wiped her tears as she breathed in determination. **Gorgor** "My prince" A young Gorgorian maid walked into Andrea's room after getting through the guards in front. She bowed before him and waited for him to asked her to rise. "Rise " he spoke bluntly. He had been
(Lilith's room) "This is unbelievable""I think so too" Lilith and Florate were taken aback by what Rain just said. They found it so hard to believe the reality in her words. But who wouldn't? A man whom she claims to have forgotten his facial features but swears he was familiar appears to her in a secret room in the lab there were supposed to penetrate and tells her she was destined to be the light mutant by him and he has already arranged the formulae for her and was very sure her DNA was fit for the solution as he had already checked them and found them fit. And why on Omania was he doing this? Only because he claims she had this keen relationship with his son. Actually, this point made the both of them feel that Rain was kind of keeping them in the dark but they could do better than doubt her right now as she too was bothered and restless about her encounter with the strange man earlier. "But it is true you guys" Rain turned to them with sincerity in her eyes. "I would not da
The door was closed immediately she went it in and the room went dark suddenly. Rain felt scared but she could surely do better than scream. She took her fight stance and got ready for action but instead of that, the bulb above her twitched few times and the light finally came back on. She heaved a sigh of relief but still had her gaurd on. "Rain Flake" The voice of a grown male made her jolt a bit and turn around to finally meet the owner of the unfamiliar voice. He looked like he was in his early fifties. Actually, she could tell by the bit of wrinkles on his face and even though his voice was very unfamiliar, his face looked very much like some one she knew but she was not sure who. She stood up straight and gave his face a long stare while she paid no attention to what ever he was going to say again. She kept the stare on as she tried to recall where she had seen it before not just because it seemed familiar, but also because she had this positive feeling about the man
Rain remained sad through out the rest of that day, she kept remembering how Florate utterly took Lilith’s side earlier and supported that she be bait to lure Nex. Was that really how he saw her? As an object to be used and played on? No! It can not be! Florate loved her too much for that and besides, he was really hurt seeing her with Nex days ago so she believed he was the last person who wanted to see her with Nex right now. That then means she was just overthinking and exaggerating things. Maybe she just misunderstood him, maybe he just knew how much Lilith needed them to help her and knew her being bait was the only way to help her out, how could she even assume that he did not truly love her and was using her, how could she? “Dammit!” She cursed, slapping her forehead, she is always jumping into conclusions negatively thereby by bringing up unnecessary fights between them. Now she has hurt Florate and he must be feeling bad right now, she has to amend things with him, yes,
"But how can that be possible?" Rain wore a puzzled look. "We don't even have our mutant powers yet". "That will happen soon Rain" Lilith replied. "We will be getting mutated in three days time" her face looked very serious and her eyes were full off determination. "But what if this light mutant will not be among us, what do we do then?” Rain asked again. She seemed to be the only one scared and not comfortable with this idea of Lilith. She understood very well that her prince Andreas meant alot to her after hearing her story of him and even though she was first not happy that she had kept it from them, she was still happy that her friend found love and would do anything within her power to help them be together but definitely not bringing light to a dark and destroyed world coupled up with a very risky plan too, No! That was definitely not within her power. "I mean..." She continued. "That may or may not happen Lilith. You know you can't put your trust in the mutation and like you
“Come in”He heard her sweet voice beckon, not minding to ask who it was that was at the door. He turned the door knob and it creaked open. He took a deep breath before stepping in to meet her sitting on her bed comfortably and looking at him with teary eyes. "Rain?" he called softly but before he made another step, she stood from her bed and drew him into a tight hug. "I so am sorry Florate" she sobbed onto his chest. "I really am" He felt weak all of a sudden at what she said. She was actually apologizing to him right now while he should be the one apologizing to her. Why does she believe that she has hurt him when he was sure he had caused her alot of pain. "I should not have thought you were cheating on me with Lilith. That was so stupid of me, she is my best friend and you are my boyfriend I should have given you both the benefit of doubt and not just jump into conclusions the way I did” she continued. "No Rain" he pushed her back a bit to look at her face. "You do no
Florate had been in the digital room for quite some time now and he was sure he didn't have more than just few hours to the three days of grace he was given. During his stay there, all he wondered was who would be willing and able to be the one to testify for him and earn him his freedom and as well save Lilith too. He would have given a straight answer to say Rain but he knew that would be as saying the impossible was going to happen. At the moment, he knew how angry Rain was at him right now and the last thing she would want to do will be to help him and he was sure Lilith and himself very well understood that but the only thing they just could not understand was why she was so upset and still would not give them a chance to explain. He wanted her to realize that she had no need to worry and that her assumptions or should he say her now believe about him and Lilith was totally wrong. But how was he supposed to do that when she would not even like to see him around her because o
"Florate?” Rain gasped, what could have happened to him?’ She asked within her, expecting the worse. “Yes Rain" she nodded, wiping her tear. "Florate is in trouble and needs your help out of it". Rain looked alarmed, the thought Florate being in danger got her scared and even though she was mad at him right now she would never wish that any danger befalls him. "What kind of danger" she asked immediately. "What happened?". "It was yesterday, after your combat with Linthorn and injuries you sustained, he just could not wait till the end of our match before coming to see you. He very much wanted to be by your side that even five minutes was just too long so he had to cut the time short" Lilith tried to explain as she struggled to control her soft sobs. "What do you mean by ""cut the time short""?" she asked as her ears itched so bad to hear what Lilith had to say right now but the tears flowing down Lilith cheeks and her silent sobs won't let her speak. "Talk to me Lilith! What di
"Rain?"Nexine called softly as she opened her eyes slowly. "How are you feeling?" he asked her with a lot of care rested in his voice."Florate?" she called softly still blinking her eyes to adjust to the bright light. Rain was still gaining her consciousness and still did not recognize the voice fully but even though, her asking of Florate got Nex angry, and somewhat sad but he decided to keep his cool and still remain sweet to her." No Rain. It is me Nexine" he brought his face closer to her and looked into her ocean blue eyes as they fluttered open and close like the wings of a butterfly that just left the cocoon. "Nexine?" She asked, seeming a bit confused but in a few seconds, her brain was able to boot properly and process her thoughts adequately and then she now knew very well that the voice belonged to Nexina and remembered why it wasn't Florate who she woke up to meet."Yes it is me" he focused his sight still on her eyes as she now left them open, receiving the warmth h
