Walking Paradox
I tightened my grip to the medal as I stepped forward to watch the river.
It was past midnight, and I just woke up from having that unexplainable, confusing, and strange dream I had. I didn’t have any good feelings about it. It might be something my creative mind created or it might also be a message from the gods. But as much as I wanted to believe that she’s a god, a part of me said it’s ridiculous. I’m still a kid after all, with a strange mind.
I decided to take a walk outside, not minding the possible dangers during night. The gloomy and dark sight of my bedroom was creeping me out somehow, and I wanted some peace of mind as it was giving me constant nightmares and hallucinations. And I knew the beauty of nature will hel

Chapter XXVII Walking Paradox Part 2 I went back home quietly as Father was peacefully sleeping in his bedroom. I better not wake him up. Hoping to end this all, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep without having nightmares or hallucinations. Hours passed, and I wasn’t able to go back to sleep. My body never had the urge to rest, so I spent the hours staring at the lonely luminous moon. Although I didn’t sleep again, I found myself never being restless. It was strange yet I was thankful for it. When the sun started to rise, I did my morning routine without waking Father up. I also cooked my own food and went to the storage room for some potatoes. Then, I went to the river once ag

Chapter XXVIIILittle GirlsTeacher Rory nodded as I stared at her without uttering anything. “We came from the same nation, Renata, but the only difference was I grew up here and you grew up on the island.”She sighed. “It’s surprising, I know, but I’m letting you know this because I want you to trust me.”Trust. This woman was basically asking me to trust her just because we share the same history of ancestors, but who knows if her mind was already corrupted?I stayed silent. I shouldn’t let my guard down. I shouldn’t trust her. No matter what, I should stick to my fake identity. I’m not a Cidgian. I’m not from Atolon. I am a Madreese. I was from Delural. That’s what I should be in front of their eyes.“People forgot about us, Revi. It’s upsetting that the government hid a sin and we didn’t even have a chance to punish them. They moved on, continued spreading chaos, and proudly raised their flags in wars as we—or shall I say you and your fellows that are hiding in the island, living

Chapter XXIXLittle Girls Part 2“Can you . . . at least listen to my grief?” She slowly looked at me.For some reason, I found myself in her. Since my mother's death, I've had a void in my heart that I've been unable to fill, no matter what I or they do. In spite of the fact that they were patient with my rants and my fury, I was still lonely. I wanted to tell 'them' how much I was hurting and how much I was angry, because I felt so isolated. I’m simply talking about Madreese, including this girl in front of me. And my common and obvious reason why was because they raided my town.Inquiring minds want to know . . . In the end, it wasn't about retaliation; it was about retribution for what they had done to me. Or is there something else going on that I'm not aware of? Why do I want to destroy?“Fine,” I said even though it was against my will.On the rooftop, which was off-limits, I accompanied her. There was no one there.Unlike the storage room, the place was wide and bright, althou

Chapter XXIXIs Everything Really Well?I never looked at her, and instead clenched both my jaw and fists. Tears attempted to escape my eyes, but I tried my best to prevent it. Not now. I can’t cry now.“I saw what happened, Revi.” I could sense she’s upset. And so am I. She’s one of us. Rory’s a Cidgian. She should be angry towards the victors. But look, here she is, taking their side—justifying what they did because it was “eons” ago.As I breathed heavily, she spoke again. “I understand your animosity but—”“No!” I screamed. “You don’t understand my hatred! You never did! Because if you do, you wouldn’t be so upset at me right now.”"I certainly do!" Her tone was solemn. "But those Madreese you were unleashing your rage on aren't to blame for their ancestors' misdeeds!"She exhaled a sigh. "It must have been difficult for you to believe that 'we,' our civilization, were imprisoned in dread as a result of what occurred in the past. You must not, however, generalize or criticize some

Chapter IIFalse History Part 2Revi VI's POVI heard a knock on my room's door and saw it open. "Argh, Revi. Your room is as messy as always." It was Stellan's voice.My lethargic self looked at him. I'm confused for a bit. "W-when did you wake up?" There's something in me . . . which I cannot explain. There's a feeling in me that Stellan should be asleep, or maybe I'm just hallucinating. I guess this is the consequence of pouring out my energy yesterday. I played overtime.I closed my eyes. "Revi, it's almost noon." After hearing his voice, I tried to sleep again. I . . . want to rest. After playing a lot of games with those kids, I ran out of energy."Revi, let's play!" Agh, her

Chapter IIIDeceiverI yawned. We're currently walking here in the market to buy some food and I'm getting bored. Fritz and Dion are at the stalls, searching for foods they want to eat later for the picnic near the river, while Stellan and Leones are with me, watching the two brats who were excited to eat and fight over foods.I looked at Leones. He has been quiet since ealier. Maybe he’s thinking of something or maybe his father’s words continued bothering him. Sadness can be seen on his face. I can do nothing but stare at him. I'm not a clown to make this dude happy—or maybe I can, just manipulating myself that I can't.I sighed. "Do you want an ice cream?" I looked at him and smiled.Leones looked

Chapter IV Deceiver Part 2 Even though I don’t call them ‘sister’ or ‘brother’, I still treat them as my older siblings. The thing is, we’re not connected by blood. They patted my head. "How are you, Revi?" Ender smiled at me. "I'm fine." I took a bite of the apple Stellan gave me. "Father went to the ministry again." I looked down. He just always leaves. I know it's his job, he almost had no time for me, we rarely talk. “That's okay, Revi." I looked up at Vida. "Instead of feeling sad, just understand your father. Perhaps the ministry is talking about your departure from Atolon." I sighed. "That isn't true." What Vida says is impossible. Those people who were sent
