After class was done, Nester took us to the hall of orb pedestals. He walked up to the pedestal in the center and placed his hands on it as he closed his eyes. A portal opened as we all turned into orbs and it sucked us in. When we materialized, we stood in front of two gravestones. Both of them had a skeleton in front of them. Their hands were bound together with string and a piece of newspaper was posted on a wooden plank in between them. I walked up to the plank and read the inscription on it. “March 23, 2024. Today marks the fifth day of Sade's disappearance. Bloodbringer Kodyack admitted that he regrets turning Sade into darkomega by using the Darkomegian Procedure. But the sad thing is this was the only way to free his father, Richard who is the Hecticmaker of the Sayis Council. Yes, this is a sad day in history but it had to be done to protect Richard and the integrity of the Sayis Council because without Richard there is no final say on the big issues like when the council is

My uncle Kodyack told me that story. I always asked him who Shirak was although he never told me. He always said that I was too young to know. He is kind of right. I was only 6 after all. My alarm went off at 6am. “Skylar Ridian Crop, get down here or you’ll be late for school!” I jumped out of bed and got into my uniform. I grabbed my backpack and raced outside as I raced downstairs. He looked at me . “Go get in the truck, I’m taking you to school today.” I ran outside and got in the truck. He walked outside as walked up to the truck and got in.. He started it as he looked at me. “Please don’t tell anyone about your dad.” “Uncle Kody, what do you mean?” “I mean, don’t tell them that he’s the famous singer, Alex Crop.” “Why?” “Just don’t.” “Why?” “Don’t argue. You’ll already enough of a freak because of your height.” “I’m not that tall.” “I’m not arguing with you.” We pulled up onto the highway as Kodyack turned on the radio. “Bloodbringer Brian Henderson started his s

I walked out of Pedro’s office as Nester walked up to me. “What did Pedro want you for?” “My sister Crystal got kidnapped.” “Did he say who kidnapped her?” “No. But I’m confused. If there was a student kidnapped, wouldn’t the guardians be alarmed?” “Not if a guardian was the Kidnapper.” “So you’re saying this was an inside job?”“Exactly.”“I guess I’ll know who has betrayed all of us when I fight them in five days.” “That doesn’t sound good.” “Why?” “Because according to Sayis Council law, the winner of a duel automatically has possession of the loser.” “So wait, If I lose I become captured by the enemy? Could you tell me why didn’t Pedro tell me that?”“I’m guessing he didn’t wait to scare with the fact of possibly being captured by whoever the captor is.” “But him not telling me makes me think he wants me to be captured.” “Well, it would make sense if you lost because then you would have an easier time rescuing your sister, wouldn’t you?” “Actually, that would make sen

Kaiser looked out into the crowd. “We have had two more kidnappings. I know many of you have heard that Crystal was kidnapped recently. But I have even worse news. Kodyack Blues got kidnapped along with Headmaster Jerricus but only a few minutes apart. According to the camera footage, the first captor who took Kodyack, was a person in a red mask and guardian armor. So that confirms that we have a traitor in our midst...I rolled my eyes as everyone else murmured in the background. Kaiser pounded his fist on the pulpit. “I know this is shocking to you all but I have to discuss the Headmaster’s kidnapping too, so please let me talk!” The crowd went silent. “Thank you. Now, the captor who took our Headmaster, is a mystery because all that was seen in camera footage was a figure with a red mask with black spots on it in a red cloak with a black hood. This means I’m sorry but we have to put all students under the eye students that our own Fader Jacobs will appoint to watch over all of

Headmaster Jerricus looked at me with worry in his eyes. “I’m sorry to have to tell you this but your dad has been kidnapped.”“How?”“He was performing a song and a portal opened as a man in armor appeared and took him into it and they both disappeared into it.”“Man in Armor? Are you saying it was a guardian?” “That’s what the theory is. But all people who have warrior powers can turn into warrior form and all warrior forms have armor. So it’s unclear whether or not it was a guardian or whether it was just some random person in their warrior form.” “Do you know whether or not it was the same person who kidnapped my sister and Kodyack?” “That’s my suspension. Which is why it’s even more important that you pass your audition tomorrow.” “Audition? Are you saying this fight against the mastermind has been turned into a competition?” “Yes I am.” “So what happens if I lose?” “You will be imprisoned by whoever the mastermind is.” “Alright, what do I have to do to pass the audit
