“Seriously, when will they stop obsessing over Cercei?”Tsking in annoyance, Steffi stealthily moved her slender fingers next to the Magnus Eye with the full intention of taking it back from her younger sister’s possession.“These people were getting on my nerves!”She purposely added this to appeal to her sisters’ sentiment so that their minds could focus somewhere else and they would not notice it once she started hogging the magic eye all for herself again. Meanwhile, her plan worked, as it always did. Ariel readily agreed to her and with a voice full of despondency, she said,“That’s how the mage community works. They fear what they could not understand and so they are set on destroying anything that they cannot control.”Ariel finished with an exasperated sigh. Meredith, on the other hand, could not help but clenched her fist as she was reminded of their good friend’s plight. Then with her brows knitted together, she roared,“The gal did not deserve all this hatred.”Meanwhile, t
“I agree with Ariel. Why don’t we invite them over? This way, we could continue our chat there whilst they take their much-needed rest.” This time, it was Meredith who spoke and she deliberately told her sisters this. Nonetheless, she has spoken the words loud enough to be heard by others. The students, on the other hand, were beyond ecstatic when they overhear the ongoing conversation. But decided that it would be best not to allow their emotion to show on their faces. At this point, Meredith turned to the group and greeted them with a bow. “Let me apologize on my sister’s behalf. The thing is, it has been a while since we had visitors. As such, we are no longer accustomed to receiving guests.” She insinuated before she slowly approached the bunch of bewildered youngsters; careful not to bump her toe as she felt her way through the darkness. Her blindness was made obvious by her action and it made her appear pitiful to any onlooker. Truth be told, the Grae’s current act of displ
“Now, where are we? Right, cooking.”Steffi changed the topic on purpose, before turning to her sisters.“I need the eye to check if it's ready, who has it?”“It’s around here, somewhere,”Meredith replied as she started to rummage through a pile of disorganized drawers. She felt obliged to respond since she was the last one to use the Magus Eye. Unfortunately, she forgot where she left it.“The last time I saw it, you put it in the utensils compartment, Meredith” Steffi insinuated using a lazy tone so the other party rebutted,“Don’t use that tone with my name.”Ariel on the other hand joined in this time to inform them that the eye was nowhere to be seen.“It’s not there this time.”After a while of contemplation, Meredith’s face lit up as she recalled something.“Aha! Steffi always put it in the dish cabinet:”And just like that, she found where her sister was hiding it.Consequently, the group found it interesting to watch how the three sisters could be talkative without having t
[Distract them for me.]“Was it not only right for Steffi to get to use to eye whenever she feels like it?? I mean, she is older than the two of you so naturally, she was supposed to have more authority above both of you, no?.”“Ehhh… She’ll be fine. I’m the youngest so they should let me wear it more.” (Meredith)“The kid is right. The eldest should have the eyeball. She is a genius” (Steffi)Steve, on the other hand, seemed to get what Audrey was trying to do, so he said something that would surely add fuel to the fire.“But what about the middle child? I am sure, Ariel wants to have her turn too.&rdqu
"Congratulations graduates!" The speaker said and with that, all of the students rose from their seats. They were all wearing a white graduation gown as that was their most awaited graduation day. It was not necessary for them to toss their graduation caps in the air, but they still did. They tossed their caps as they cheered in celebration of that special day. Everyone was visibly thrilled by the idea of moving up and finally completing their junior high. But no one was as ecstatic as Audrey was. The other party felt excited and accomplished more than anyone else because it was like she finally overcame one hurdle in her life. She was able to send herself to school with her own effort and that made her feel that this graduation was more than just a simple ceremony but also a token of her hard work. Being a student in the morning and a part-timer at night was no easy task, but she was able to pull
"A nobody like you wish to oppose us? You sure have a lot of guts in you." The leader said with a smirk on her face then she playfully pushed Audrey's shoulder making the other party lean closer to the edge of the rooftop. Apparently, the only thing that was preventing Audrey from falling was the guardrail. Audrey made a firm hold onto the support as she was well aware that one wrong move would definitely send her falling to her early demise. The leader must have seen her concern and so she continued to prod her, just so as to mock her earlier display of bravery. "Getting scared???? You should have thought about it before crossing us." She said word by word while slightly pushing Audrey with her finger at the same time. To prevent an unwanted accident, Audrey swatted the other party's hand away and start putting a safe distance between her and the railings. But the leader did not want to be dismissed and she angrily pulled Audr
Audrey was not sure what happened but the next thing she knew, she was already rocking; as though she was being carried by something. "Am I dreaming?" The girl thought to herself without daring to open her eyes just yet. She clearly remembered falling to her death and it felt so real that Audrey was having a hard time bringing herself to believe that she was still alive. 'But what if this was my afterlife?!' Audrey felt goosebumps crawled on her skin when that idea crossed her mind and when she tried to open her eyes again, the vast sky and the passing cloud were the first things that greeted her sight. Looking around her, she also found out that her body was lying on a pile of hay and she was being carried away by a wagon. The sun was already making its way on the western horizon and the sunset bathed the rest of the sky with a vermillion hue. "Where am I?" That was the next question that popped on her head w
Audrey observed her surroundings, trying to figure out where on Earth she was. As she was looking around and practically surveying the entire horizon as far as her eyes could reach, a feeling of unease was starting to weigh on her chest. It was not that long yet since she woke up from this unfamiliar land but somehow she could not help but feel like something about the whole arrangement just did not sit right. Everything to her just seemed too outlandish at some point. First off, one thing she noticed right away was how the place did not look anywhere near her neighborhood so she wondered how did she even get there in the first place. Truth be told, the place did not look promising at all. If anything, it resembled a creepy forest which was usually portrayed in the horror movies she used to watch; that particular one where some masked man holding an axe or chainsaw would suddenly show itself out from the wilderness and would then start hacking its weapon against whatev
