Chapter 47: Drunken Apologies───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 21 - 2027 ║║ Sunday║ (D - 5) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║Warning : R18+As I ascend the creaky wooden staircase, my heart pounds in my chest. I clutch the velvet rose and folded note tightly, afraid to let go for fear they will disappear. The hallway is dark and silent as I tiptoe upstairs my bedroom. Though with every damn step, I pause, straining my ears for any indication I have roused someone, but all remains silent. As I had anticipated, my roommate, Serene remained lost in her own dreamland, perhaps. Climbing the steps slowly, my footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. The old house creaks and groans around me, and the wooden stairs let out a squeak with every step. My palms feel sweaty as I grip the rose, its velvety petals soft against my skin. The note in my other hand crinkles slightly as I squeeze it, the words written there replaying in my mind.While I did,

Chapter 48: Afterglow───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 22 - 2027 ║║ Monday║ (D - 4) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║Warning : R18+The morning sun peeks through the curtains, rudely waking me from a deep slumber. My head is fuzzy and the sheets are tangled around my body. A breeze drifts in, cool against my overheated skin. With it, I flutter my eyes open yet half-lidded to an aching hollowness, and sore in all the right places, as the ghost of hands lays still on my skin. Shadows still dance in the corners and the musky scent of sweat hangs in the air, a reminder of the night's passion. I want to stay wrapped in this moment, this memory, before I must return to the harsh light of day and this institution's twisted games. But, for now, I savor the throbbing between my thighs and the bruises left by hungry lips, relics of a night spent giving in to desire.I know I should get up, get dressed, resume the real world... But I linger a mo

Chapter 49: Inevitable Inspection ───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ──── ║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 22 - 2027 ║ ║ Monday║ (D - 4) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║ I slipped under the covers, my eyes drawn once more to Killian's tranquil face as he slept, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. It seemed so surreal, like a dream. Only hours before we had been consumed by passion, our bodies and souls joining in the most intimate of ways. Now here he was, peaceful and still as I watched him. My mind replayed the night's events over and over - his touch, his kiss, his whispered words of love — it all felt so real yet somehow unearthly. I wanted to freeze this moment in time, to stay in this room where the outside world did not exist, where there was only us. Killian's eyes fluttered half-open and met mine, and a smile spread across his face, "You're watching me sleep," he said quietly. I smiled back, "I couldn't help it. You look so handsome and peaceful..

Chapter 50: Murders In the Broken Mists───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 24 - 2027 ║║ Wednesday║ (D - 2) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║The targets were still shaking as the last arrow hit its mark. I lowered my bow, wiping the sweat from my brow. Practice had been grueling as always, but we needed to be ready for the challenges ahead.My teammates slumped to the ground, their energy spent from the morning's exertions. We dared not slacken our training, for the dangers that lay ahead demanded vigilance and precision.The coming quest was a perilous one, fraught with unknown threats and ancient evils. Everyday, I overhead other student's dread as they spoke in hush tones that many had ventured into those treacherous depths of the game, yet none had returned. I gazed out across the practice field, my eyes landing on the forest's edge. Dark trees loomed, the shadows within seeming to move and shift. Foolish were those who underestimated
Ruby Fridays Chapter 51: "Together,"
Chapter 51: Together ───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ──── ║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 24 - 2027 ║ ║ Wednesday║ (D - 2) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║ I walk out of the archery room in a daze, my mind reeling with the horrific sight I just witnessed — the lifeless body of that student lies sprawled on the floor. My hands tremble uncontrollably as the scene plays over and over in my mind. I imagine the sickening thud of the arrow hitting flesh, the choked gasps he did as he clutched at the protruding shaft in disbelief in that moment of his death. Perhaps, that's how it got hell for him. I tried to tell myself it was just my imagination, that same old paranoia rearing its ugly head again. But, no matter what I do or think, it still leads to the same scenes I had been trying to whisk off my mind. I staggered away from the archery shed, the metallic scent of fresh blood filling my nostrils. I stumble out into the corridor, my footsteps echoing hollowly. I try to s

Chapter 52: Roles ───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ──── ║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 25 - 2027 ║ ║ Wednesday║ (D - 1) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║ The rain pounds against the windows as I sit on the worn leather sofa, waiting for my roommate to finish getting ready. While the air is musty and still, I glance at the clock on the wall for what feels like the hundredth time. It's already 7:50 AM and the assembly starts at 8 — we're going to be late at this rate. "Serene, are you ready? We're going to be late!" I call out, my voice laced with exasperation. I roll my eyes at my obvious query. Of course she will take forever to get ready. The dim lights cast shadows around the room as I sink further into the couch, listening to the rhythmic drumming of the rain and the muffled sounds of Serene rushing around. Mornings like this are commonplace in our small apartment, the silence filled with the noise of daily routines and the occasional argument. Still, it's comfo

Chapter 53: The Amethyst Serpents───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 25 - 2027 ║║ Thursday║ (D - 1) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║As we dispersed to our common rooms to strategize, an air of mystery and danger surrounded this new challenge. The corridor was dimly lit, the torches casting shadows that danced ominously on the stone walls. An eerie silence hung in the air as we made our way down the stairs, our footsteps the only sound, echoing off the cold stone. We descended into the unknown, into what seemed like the bowels of the school's dungeon itself.Within our mysterious endeavor I stayed silent, listening to the hushed chatter of my teammates around me. Rumors from them began to swirl in my mind as I can hear them mention the last wave of the Olympia's Cup years before where they found artifacts hidden around the cup's grounds, weapons that could incapacitate opponents, and of secret passages that could give one team an advanta

Chapter 54: Play the Part───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 26 - 2027 ║║ Friday║ (D - DAY) The Commencement of Olympia's Cup║The ancient stone walls of the auditorium were illuminated by the flickering flames of makeshift torches, casting ominous shadows and revealing carvings of arcane words and cryptic symbols. The torches, fastened to the walls with rusty iron brackets, crackled softly as they swayed in the warm drafts that crept through the high windows. Their wavering light danced across the rows of stone benches that rise up around a massive arena floor where students sat waiting expectantly. At the front of the hall stood a raised dais, and upon it stood the headmistress, her figure half-concealed in the shadows. As we, the final students filed in, she began to speak, her voice low yet carrying an edge that commanded attention, "Welcome to the opening ceremony of the Olympia's Cup Games, my dear students! I am Miss Rose, the headmistress
