I stretched as I woke up. My back hurts because I couldn’t sleep in a good bed.Maven was still asleep so I just left and went to the dorm. I'm the only one here. I don't know if the cousin and Hela are also students or faculty because that's where they really reach.I could do nothing but get dressed because breakfast was coming up.After I got to the dorm I went straight to the dining hall. I saw Jade so I sat next to her."Where are they?""Where did you sleep?"We asked the same question."Okay, I'll answer you first. They haven't taken care of anything yet. But I'm sure they'll be here. So?"I sneezed. "In the infirmary I slept." He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Angel and Jax also arrived so we ate. I didn't ask why the two weren't there because they might think differently."You didn't wait for us, wow. I felt betrayed." said Uno that we worked hard.Rio sat next to me because there was no other seat. The
It's been twenty hours, thirty six minutes and five seconds since the headmaster asked me about our district's stone. The Trait Stone .According to the legends, that stone is what empowers the citizens of a district. That's why if you're parents are from district 3 then you must be born on that district as well. And if you don't then there will be complications.Our ancestors said that the stone will grant you a trait the moment you're born. That's why we're born to have traits.And now that the headmaster's asked me about the stone. I can't help but wonder where it is too.It is true that there's a place where it's been kept. It's like a sanctuary. It's guarded with the most powerful elders of the district. But he said something involving my family. The Quaison's. My mother's surname. When my father married her, she remained a Quaison and dad became one.My mother's family is way powerful than my dad's so he has to become a Quaison and continue our l
I tiptoed outside the tent so I won't be making any noise. But on my way outside I heard someone coughed. I looked away and was inevitably nervous to see Rio there."R-Rio! You surprised me, are you done?" I received no answer from him other than his critical eyes.Maybe he doesn't know where I'm going? And if he knows, maybe he won't report me."Where are you going?"I sneezed and faked a cough. "I'm gonna get some food! Right that's what I'm gonna do!"I walked quickly but I stopped when he suddenly pulled me. I turned to him. "That's not the way to the dining area."I laughed awkwardly because I was so nervous. "Ah? Haha maybe I'm so hungry. You know I wasn't able to eat that much.""You didn't? Then let's go." He pulled me once but I suddenly howled. "Ah what, I'm gonna go pee first so go ahead?"He narrowed his eyes at me before he let me go. "Where are you really going Iris?""Pee! What are you going to do ?!" this time I couldn't h
Hours have passes but I still couldn't get a hold of my uncle. My cousin said that he might be on the council doing some errand for my father who is now by the way staying in our house.Aunt Maxine, my Uncle's wife is already sleeping as of the moment.The more time I spend here the more they might know sir Grand that I am no longer in our tent.Maybe this time I was wanted - we were."What do you need from papa?" I heard Aaron ask as he entered my room here in their house.I took a deep breath first. "It's about the stone. Before I left the academy, the headmaster asked if I have the stone ...""And do you have it?"I shook. "I don't ... know.""Why does he think that you have it?""I also don't know, maybe because of our ancestors? Didn't they once hide the stone from someone?""Yes, but that was a long time ago." I nodded to my cousin. He's right. It means I may not have the stone. But there is still the possibility."I just
"You look restless." I comment on Rio because I can see it in his eyes. Especially that dark circle under his eyes."Sir Grand. Punishment." He said in a broken voice."What punishment?""We left so as a punishment only one of us can sleep."I was stunned. "And you didn't tell me ?!""You fall asleep first."Right that was because I was so tired. Anyways there's no point on blaming myself. It's his fault too. I didn't tell him to follow me. Jeez.I just turned my attention to the chin.I can see upstairs the houses that are on fire. Perhaps it was the work of the dragon. Oh maybe it was the people who stole the stones. The rebels of the country. The suspicion of others.After we went down there were some wounded. I saw a child in the middle of their district. He seems lost. He was just crying and based on my observation he was separated from his parents.I applied it and knelt down so we could level. "Hey kid. Where are your parents?
We are back at the academy. But I haven't been to class yet. I also do not attend trainings. It seems like my will to do anything just vanished.It's been two days and I haven't made any progress. I was just here in the hotel and doing nothing. I can't go to the dorms my cousin might know what I've been through and I don't want him to know.I still don’t see my friends. I also have no plans to talk to them. Maybe I'll heap my anger on them. That's unreasonable. I wish I didn't know. But I guess I was destined to know the truth.Suddenly there was a knock on the door so I lost myself in deep thought. I did nothing but just look at the door. I'm dead tired to even open my mouth. Maybe because I haven't eaten anything since I came back.That's ridiculous. I'm not aware of the time. I looked at the door again when the knock suddenly became so loud that I was almost destroyed by the one outside.I was suddenly irritated. Whoever's out there I just want to toast. Ponyeta, I
Morning came and I decided to train myself. The faculty don't look happy the moment he laid his eyes on me. It's like he doesn't want me here. I looked at my classmates and they all averted their eyes.I raised an eyebrow. What the hell is their problem?Because of the cold treatment I received, I decided to go outside and do something else instead. I met Jade and Angel out, Jax and Rio was with them. I was about to pass them when Rio outnumbered me.I looked at him, my brows slightly raised.He sneezed and looked at Angel. "They wanted to talk to you.""And I don't." cold when told and loosened his grip."Don't be stubborn Iris." I was surprised that Jax also joined. He's not a type of person who interferes with other people's business and look at him now.I did nothing and nodded. It's not because of Jax alright? I just feel like I got to go talk to them because I would probably go nuts. There's just too much on my plate right now. And that
Right after what we’ve seen in the dining hall, we immediately went to the headmaster’s office. Unlike before when I always turned my forehead up, I never did. While walking, I'm trying to avoid as many glares as possible.I learned from Jade that the students had heard me shouting at the headmaster. Of course they had the right to be mad, I just disrespected the headmaster and yet I am not even punished.I suddenly collided with Angel's back and realized that we were here. They are both staring at the door. Not sure who will open.They both looked at me. I shook. My face is not that thick to face the headmaster.They both sighed."What are you doing here?" we turned to Rio when he suddenly spoke behind us. He just seems to be good at training."We wanted to tell the headmaster something, and maybe after that ask him if we can do something." I replied to Rio because it looked like the two had no intention of answering.He frowned. "Then
