Two Hopes

I’m in the classroom on the second floor of the tower. This floor was meant for those youngsters who wanted to learn necromancy. Most of the people were hungry for power, that’s why necromancy is addicting, even for the young.

Im currently sitting at my chair and writing lyrics on my music journal. I covered it to avoid being caught. Then Reisha called on me quietly. “Hey, Asvra! teacher is coming! Twelve o’clock!”. My body moved on its own and closed my drawer in my deck, and I pretended to pay attention as the teacher passes by.

“Thanks, Reisha”, I said. She smiled at me and wink. Reisha Valentine; my childhood friend, partners in crime. We pat each other’s back. Whatever happens, whatever the world throws at us, we will always be friends to the depths of the realm.

A few moments later, someone throws a crumbled paper at me. Then I’ve noticed a writing. It says; “You should be fed to the sharks, or the council should let us stone you to death”. I folded it and clenched my fists, and my vision became dark.

After a while, I’ve heard a little commotion behind my back. I turned around and saw Keisar tearing Aaryll’s notebooks apart. “Hey! Stop it! I need It for the class later! Bring it back!”, Aaryll pleads. But Keisar won’t stop until he heared what he wants to hear. Then Keisar is close in tearing it half.

“Okay I’m sorry! I confess. I’m the one who threw that note on Asvra. But Kian’s the one who wrote it”, she cried. Then Keisar turned on Kian on his right. Then Kian suddenly startled. “Wait, I’m sorry okay!”, he said in a half-hearted tone and a hiss of a lying snake.

I nodded at Keisar to thank him. Then he nods back. Keisar Navaro; I’ve met him one year later after I met reisha when we are kids. He protected us from a wandering skeleton. Since then, the three of US became friends. He is always there for us when we are in trouble. I always wanted to repay him someday.

As the teacher discuss the basic skeleton summoning, she was interrupted by a council member at the front door. The teacher approaches him, then the council member whispered to her.

“Oh goddess, It looks like trouble. But I won’t be surprise if it has something to do with me”, I whispered in my thoughts. Then Reisha pat me in my shoulders to comfort me. I smiled at her.

Then the teacher suddenly glanced at me. I stand up, and I saw It coming. I grabbed my backpack, and take one last look at Reisha and Keisar, ignoring those classmates of mine smirking at me.

I know that whenever I saw a council member at the student’s floor, I can expect that they came there for me, or simply making it to the Great Floor. But I wondered what could it be this time.
