Episode21-Broken Seal
918 Words
The trio is still trying to reach an agreement on their adventure. For people for are new to the school, they were really looking for trouble. Because, if they get caught, Vice-Principal Mackenzie would never take it lightly with them. And in the history of Rayvin Academy, three of them were going to be the first to take such a risk.
By the time everyone has completely retired to their dormitories, Mael, Harry and Melody are still plotting on how to investigate what had caused the rapid change in the school. Well, it is more of Mael and Melody trying to convince an unwilling Harry.
"Just out of curiosity, what are we looking for?" Harry asks, feeling a lump in his throat. Left for Harry alone, he would be racing back to his dormitory. The once fierce and athletic nature he posted has turned into an obedient, law-abiding and less curious personality. Who knows if Harry had gotten into a normal College like he wanted if he would have turned out like this. Probably he would have been messing around with women and staying away from classes but he knows too well that there is no room for all that here.
"And, what if whatever that happened is something really dangerous and is still out here?" Harry is about to walk away when Mael drags him back by the collar.
"Also something I didn't think about," Melody jokes.
"We will be fine. We've got each other that is what matters. I'll never let anything happen to us," Mael reassures.
"It's comforting to know but I just don't want us to get in trouble. That is not what I want. Whatever that is going on should be taken care of by proper authorities." Harry complains.
"I know. But sometimes you just have to do something dangerous to discover your full potential." Mael says.
"How are we to know where we are going?" Harry asks once more, allowing his backpack to sag to the floor.
"Let's just go before we get caught even without doing anything," Mael begins to walk away slowly from Harry and Melody who has to walk behind him to keep up.
They keep walking straight, trying mostly to avoid all the doors and major points since most of them are occupied by either, the messengers or teachers.
"I don't feel good about this. Let us go back to where we've proper authorities surprising us." Harry complains.
"You are such a cry baby," Melody teases.
Mael keeps his focus and keeps walking. A voice in his head keeps directing him on where to go. The voice isn't that of Humosh but a very faint and possessing voice telling him what to do. After walking for a while they arrive finally before a large door, which is entirely away from the main building. They hadn't even realized that they had walked away from the main building.
"Open," Mael simply says to the door.
"Welcome, Omiri," a faint voice says and the door opens
After the three of them passes through, the door closes behind them. Harry doesn't exactly know what to do with himself. As confusing as it keeps getting for him, the place they've just entered is the recitation ground that they've been forbidden from. Someone led them there through Mael. The crack on the ice has gone deeper and the moon has darkened. The oak tree has started withering. The whole place looks like it has been struck with great lightning. The once colourful and lively Ground of Peace, gone.
Somehow Harry feels that what happened to the Ground Of Peace didn't just occur out of nowhere. Something must have caused it to turn out this way. Melody uses her Ice power and tries to put back the cracked side, nothing is working. Her power shows nothing but a drop of water. Mael focuses on the tree trying to see if there is a way to give life back to it but he is mistaken. This is all beyond them for now. Something drew him there, a force, not for the place to be fixed but for him to listen.
"This place is ruined!" Harry tosses a fallen branch back to the ground near the oak tree.
"No wonder we were banned from accessing here, " Melody, trying to fix the Ice crack.
"In here, I feel our energy is weak. Something is not right." Mael says.
"I told you from the start. Nothing about this is right. Let us get out of here before we end up getting on the bad side of Professor Mackenzie. Have you seen that woman's face? No one should dare get on her bad side."
"Now is not the time to joke around, Harry. Remember, Franklin during High School? She was a tough nut to crack. We finished without getting on her bad side."
"Yes, that is because we weren't snooping around and putting our noses in their business."
"Shhh, both of you," whispers Melody, "we are not alone."
"How can you tell?" Harry laughs.
"My guts."
"Well, I hope tells you that I am about to kill you and Marl for bringing out if a safe zine to this place where creatures of the night could chew my handsome skin, drink my pure blood and crush my energetic bones."
Rolling her eyes, "you are so full of yourself." Melody says.
"What could be so powerful enough to have done this?" Mael asks.
"Honestly, that is a mystery to solve."
