Herald wakes up.."Oh....My body hurts like h.e.l.l!
*He stands up and looks arround him*
Its the same place Mammon created inside of his mind, but.
...Where is this light coming from...
From above!
An open door is situated in the middle of the sky.
As if it was one of the 7 Heaven"s door!
Herald. "...How can I reach it though? It must be the door for another test maybe?
Or does this one count as a test??
Only way to know is...
I have to reach it!"
Herald of course cannot reach such point unless he had the ability to fly, this is an obvious first thought.
Since this is his place,his mind!
Herald figured out that he can actually fly if he wanted to.
And so he did, floating higher and higher...
Until he reached the door.
And went through it...
*Herald wakes up!!!*
He wakes up to the sound of little birds and moving trees, on a little black b.u.t.terfly landing on his nose.
Dawn appears,
Whiteness is starting to slowly fight the darkness of the night"s sky.
What a view it is...
Herald feels something warming him other than the light sun-light.
With very sleepy exhausted eyes, he looks next to him.
To see a sleeping beauty, cuddling him tightly.
Herald"s first reaction was to look back again to the sky, ignoring what he had just seen.
and thought to himself.
"...What the actual h.e.l.l is this!!!
Is it another test????
IT HAS TO BE!!!!
Please please tell me it is!!!!
Oh G.o.d WHAT WOULD MURUEM THINK OF THIS!!!!?
Surely..
Surely it"s another test!!
I mean who can this even be??
But this feels like...Reality!!!
d.a.m.n!
Just two days and am already cheating???!!!"
Herald is completely losing it in a funny way.
He doesn"t want to look but at the same time he wants to..
Temptation is strong!!
He looked again...But!
No one is next to him this time around!!!
*Herald freaks out and gets up quickly*
"WH...WHAT??
ANOTHER ILLUSION???
So this is a test....G.o.d i thought am done with them...
Wait, isn"t that what i just wished it would be moments ago??
Hehe..M losing it for real"
He looks arround him to examine what he now thinks is another test room..
"....But this is really the same place i"ve lost conscious in!!!
Although this very well made...plant-bed??? Wasn"t here...
Somebody must have taken care of me..
The woman!!!
Herald shouts.
"HEEEEY!! Is anybody here??"
...
No one replies.
"Well i guess...It was just my imagination?
What"s even real or fake anymore to begin with?" says he in an ironic manner.
Herald then gets on his feet.
He now knows it"s reality!
it"s clear enough for him to see the road, so he decided to go towards the Castle"s gate.
*Minutes later*
He arrives! And stands right in front of it.
"Here we go again,
This better work."
Herald goes through the castle so smoothly, as if it wasn"t even there.
And finally!
He is inside the castle.
He lets out a sigh of relief and looks arround him.
His reaction was that of the other 6 as well, admiration and astonishment of the place"s beauty.
Quickly, he was met by both Sahaqiel and Galahad.
Sahaqiel. "Welcome, Sir herald."
Herald calmly replies. "Thank you.
I a.s.sume you"re the two majestic guardians Guiado told us about yesterday."
Sahaqiel. "You guessed it right, My name is Seif Sahaqiel.
My partner right here is Sir Galahad."
Herald. "I think presenting myself is useless, since you know my name.
But, glad to meet both of you."
Sahaqiel. "Trust me, It"s our pleasure."
Galahad. "Must have been a tiring day out there!"
Herald. "Well, I don"t know what to even call it.
But my body feels completely sore, and my mind is dizzy."
Sahaqiel. "Allow us to accompany you. The real Gate to the academy is right there."
Herald. "Oh...It"s always something other than what is first thought right."
Sahaqiel. "That is one of the lessons you"ll be learning here, sir."
Herald. "I see I see...
*Herald"s stomach is roaring*
But first..
Can I eat please?"
...
Sahaqiel and Galahad started laughing when hearing that.
Galahad. "HAHAHAHAHAAH Absolutely sir, going to the academy can wait a little.
We got some food.
Right Sahaqiel?"
Sahaqiel. "Yes, a pleasure it is to have a meal with such guest of ours.
You"re welcome."
Herald is happy to hear so.
"Am flattered Hhahaha...Sorry to ask such thing."
Galahad. "Nah nah..We"re the ones sorry to leave you like that..."
All 3 keep on talking as they"re heading towards Sahaqiel"s house..
Galahad"s aura is completely different from when he met the other 6 earlier. He seems to be in a good mood after meeting Herald.
Probably because he"s what everyone was waiting for...Even for the mean rude Galahad!
Meanwhile All 6 Atlanteans are now laying down on comfortable beds, in the room they"re asked to share.
Only Sebastin and Ayla are in deep sleep.
The rest is deeply thinking as they"re looking at the roof.
"Joshou, is thinking of the situation he"s in with the rest, and what this new experience is going to add up for him.
Elara, is really uncomfortable!
She always used to sleep alone in her room, now she"s asked to sleep next to other people she has only met for a day!
Beazly is thinking of his family and tribe he left, being their strongest protector.
He"s hoping nothing bad happens in his absence.
And finally Oumad.
Who thinks of all the above..
The Last time he shared a room was with his beloved Jasmine, thinking of her at this moment only makes it worse as he"s also worried sick about Herald."
Funny thing is...
Herald now is actually eating his b.u.t.t off, as the two Majestic Guardians answer his questions about the academy...
