Mystical Academy: The Mystery of the World

I never get a chance on glancing behind me, thinking that it will be our both end. They are coming to us. They know that Adhiti and I are one. They are coming…

"Adhiti! Adhiti!" I shout out from my lungs. Gasping some air is hard for me, not until I came to her room to wake her up. "Adhiti!" I am near, near on the double door of the dorm. I push it open and people around looked at me in dark red eyes. I was about to scream but I just run and run towards her room. "Adhiti!" I squeeze the door but it is locked. "Adhiti! Adhiti! Wake up!" I move back and glanced at the dark shadows. I grasped some air and run and hit the door hard.

My eyes opens wide and like I was in my dream, I am grasping an air for running in a long kilometer. I tried to move arms and legs even my body but it seemed that I am stuck and paralyze again. I felt a cold water falls down from my forehead. I felt my neck cold and wet. I tried to speak and scream but nothing come out.

My heart jumped when the door opens and a huge tall figure of a man enter my room. Is he my assassin? But no, I realized that it was Patrick. He sat beside me and gently caressed my hair. In that moment, I get a chance to move my heavy body and I immediately embraced him. Marissa came in with Andrew with a stack of arrows.

"We need to move." He murmurs to me. He immediately stood and I immediately slipped off from bed. I run to my closet and grabbed the jeans, shirt and sweater. Then I saw Nick's jacket and I grabbed it. I run to the bathroom and wash my face. I immediately dry my face and walk outside.

They are all busy packing few things. Patrick gave me a glass of water and I drank it all. I only realize that I am still thirsty and I grabbed another one. Andrew lifted the hunting boots that I guess he bought for me when we go on shopping last week. I sat and put it on, Andrew helped me on it.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Only you, sis." He told me. I stop from tying my boots. He finished both of it and he took my hand. "We don't have time. People around here should realize what's really happening." He scoop my cheek. "You have to find Nick. That's what he told us. You need to find him on their world. Only you can enter their world."

"Why? Why me? You need to come to me."

"I'm sorry sis, we can't get in without the highest ruler of their world's consent. Let them know what their people are building in our world."

"We put them all into deep sleep. That's why we didn't let you in the dining hall."

"Even Leona and Nancy?" I asked them.

"Yes. I tried my best to seduce her and about the President, she didn't even noticed that I put a sleeping phial on their foods." Andrew told happily.

We had reached the woods and I don't know where in hell I will find Nicholas. After he left me alone with a few creeps from their world, I will find him? Oh please, I hate him so much though my heart loves him too much. It's been a month since he left me. I hate my subjects because it was all more on mental. My new mentor wasn't my mother or Patrick. She's from the world where Leona and Nicholas came from.

After Nick leaves me, Eliza never go back to school again where I guess that she will go after my Nick. I won't let her though she's my best friend. She never even let me touch my Artemis and told me that I need to study well for a better future. Better future my ass! That bitch is trying to destroy my future. However, I could twist her mind though.

"Adhi, when you found Nick, tell him that I will totally break his eggs when he tried to flirt with anyone." Andrew told. I rolled my eyes. Of course that they are best friends and he's jealous when Nick is flirting with anyone. But it is actually because of me. He doesn't want any man cheated on me.

"I will break his eggs on my one hands." I told him. He embraced me again and kissed my forehead. I turn back to see the big oak tree. The five voices speaks to me.

Come…

Your time has come…

Welcome back… Adhiti

The prophecy speaks to you…

Adhiti…

The tree has five voices and I can hear them. Why are they speaking to me? Why do they know my name? What am I? Who am I? The voices mesmerized me to hold them. A cold hands was put at my shoulder that distracts me from hearing them.

"Hurry up." I turn to Patrick and he help me put the bag on. Marissa stepped forward and help me put the sword on my belt and she lent me the bow and arrows. "Don't get yourself killed in that world."

"Also, don't show them what you are capable at first." Marissa told. "Mostly on Pyr and Hydōr. They are quite harsh that's what my brother told me. But as soon as you are in Erā with my brother you will be safe."

"But how am I supposed to find him? I don't even know about that Pyr and Hydōr you are talking about." Patrick smiles at me and scoop my cheeks.

"You don't have to worry, you have the map and they will lead you there."

"W-what map are you talk—" that really makes me stopped when I realized what map they are talking about. Andrew walk closer to us and put some cold metal on my neck. The amulet glows as the tree responded to it.

"Now go, before they realized what we have done." Marissa told and hugged me swiftly. I pushed to the tree or more like the tree wrapped their vines around and eat me.

"Whatever you had learned inside there, remember that we always love you." Andrew told. "Go, Ruin!"

I was mesmerized seeing dancing sparks flies around me. I thought that I would enjoy the view but unconsciousness blinded me.

The night when Nick left me alone on the woods, I walk back on building alone. I also didn't noticed that my brothers, my father and mother are calling me on the name of Catastrophe. Yes, I was her. As long as I am here in Academy I have to be her.

I stayed on my room for two days sulking because of Nick. Since I have no mentor, I can do things I wanted to do. If Ruin didn't whines on me, I won't feed him. I sat down on the floor and just watch him eat on his full bowl.

"Don't you want to attend the class?" I looked at Kraig, Adhiti's father who peek on the half open door. "You don't look fit at all." He enter the room and closes the door. I look back at Ruin who is enjoying his food. He sat with me on the floor and put his arms around me. "Do you know how much I miss my angel?"

"I'm sorry that you have to take the pain. But I have to do this to survive."

"I understand you, angel. I'm sorry that I and your mom cannot stand against the Headmistress and the President. They had already sent a new mentor for you." I lean my head on his shoulder. Gosh, how I missed my dad.

"They still wanted to kill me. And you, mom, Patrick, Andrew… everyone."

"Don't worry on us. We are going to leave the Academy soon."

He makes me feel good. He even brought my favorite dishes. He told me that I might be hungry and I just realized that I really am. I enjoy my moment with my father. But when the day come, a new mentor knocks on my door. I lazily slipped off from bed and open it. She smiled at me and was about to enter my room but I block her way.

"Oh-kay." She only said which I gave her a lazy look. "You will be late on your new subjects. I will see you briefly."

That day she makes everything worse. I was put on few mental subjects and I don't have a chance to see Artemis. Good thing that Marissa is taking care of her so she won't die in thirst or hunger.

I did not study hard or listen attentively on other subjects. My mind is on war inside my head. The clanging of swords, sounds of shooting of arrows, the dart of spears, and the cutting of flesh as the blood spills. I feel like wanted to kill someone now. My thirst in revenge for my own death is still motivating me on this.

"Why are you not listening?" Flame suddenly asked. "Your mind has been flying out this world."

"What is it that you are telling?"

"What's on your mind, Catastrophe?" he asked me as he leans his cheek on his hands. "We've been dating for a month yet you are still thinking of—"

"I'm thinking about disastrous things. Like on how it would feel to cut man's flesh as blood comes out."

"You sounds like a psychopath." He told and then he smiles. "Yet I love it."

It was weekend and I decided to go to my house using Artemis as my ride. Andrew had loved it and it gives me a little energy to love his smile. Everyone gets busy on preparing everything for our dinner. That was one of the happiest day after Nick abandoned me.

I walk around the forest with Ruin. Marissa has been taking care of Katherine because I am not myself to take care of her anymore. Since she's my roommate she had been taking care of everything around. Taking my laundry, feeding and bathing Ruin preparing my foods. She's more like my nanny because she even chooses clothes that I should wear.

The school days came again. I hate to be back but Nicholas didn't want me to drop out from that school. I got peeved when my mentor named Calisie Bolton told me to pack up my things and get ready for moving to another room. I stand my rights in front of them. I won't let her control my life.

"I am against of moving out. Since Adhiti, is gone and I got a full consent from her parents to occupy the room."

"Moving out means, just sleeping with another room sweetheart." Calisie remains calm with smiles.

"I don't think that there's a reason for moving out since I can do anything I wanted."

"I am your mentor and I know what's best for my apprentice." I tilt my head and furrows a little.

"Yes, you are the mentor that has been assigned to me. However, I still got a full of rights to stay on that room. My Legal Guardian, Nicholas Gregory had told me to do as I wished and take as I wished through his name." Yes, Nick said that. Since he doesn't trust anyone of them. "Also, as what you said, you are my mentor but you are not my mother. Only mother knows what's best for their child. Am I right, Mrs. Hudson?" I asked her. She hesitate on agreeing with me. "It would be inappropriate if we discussed and argued all over on using a room, since I am used in that room."

"Okay, done then."

After that, what really makes me hate her and wanted to kill her is, taking Ruin away from me. If my father and Mr. Jones didn't stand with me, I will already lose Ruin. Since Mr. Jones is very fond of animals and he's a professor in veterinary.

The sweet chirping of birds wakes me up from my sleep. However, I did not intent of opening my eyes though I know that it is already morning. I feel suddenly free today. I can feel the menthol of the grass and I felt it on around me. The cold fresh morning wind blows on me whispering on my ear to wake up.

No, I don't want to wake up. I wanted to stay like this for a while. My days on this academy was full of shit. I hate Calisie, that blonde bitch who wanted to take everything away from me. I groaned when I felt my stomach churns. I really need to get up and eat. I open my eyes and sat up, but stopped when I realized where I was.

Wow. Am I in the wonderland? There are butterflies, big butterflies flying around in different glowing colors. There are birds on every beautiful trees chirping. On every tree there are squirrels and under, there are some bunny and rabbits living there. A white stag comes to me and bow her head to me. My hand gently caressed her face. Then I realize where I was. This is the world of Nicholas.

I get up and gather my things. Then I found a river and admire how clear and clean it is. Patrick might put some tumbler on my bag so I put my bag down and checked few things. Oh, there's a tumbler and sandwiches. I looked around me and found lots of fruit bearing trees. I won't get hungry on this area. However, I don't know where to go first.

The stag drinks on the water and I drank on my tumbler too. I pull out the sandwich and started eating. I breathed on the heavenly taste of creamy vegetarian tuna sandwich that they made for me.

I feel like something is missing. I looked around me and realized that Ruin is not around. I stood and look around to see Ruin around.

"Ruin?" I calls out. I whistles and it echoes if ever he heard me. "Where are you boy?" I finish my sandwich and left the other one for Ruin. "Ruin?"

There's no Ruin. So I decided to pull up my hood, inserted my amulet on my shirt and walk around. If I find Nick, perhaps he would help me find Ruin. I stop from walking when I realized that I was directionless. Where in hell would I find him? I pull out my phone from the pocket of my bag and slide it to call him. Shit! There's no signal in this world. Of course, what would I expect?! Stupid me!

I just go to the shade under the tree to take a nap. This is exhausting. Since my phone is still full, I started taking pictures in this world. Then, I checked the photos that I had captures. Then, I saw my pictures— I furrowed. Why I have my pictures on my phone where I don't usually take pictures of myself? And this is not my memory card. This is Nick's because I had seen the photo of Adhiti and him two and a half years ago. Then, there's a photo of a map… it's my back actually. It was taken when Eliza caught us on his room where I was half naked and he's embracing me from behind.

So, this is the full view of my back. I really have the map. He told me that he's an Erāian so the Kingdom of Erā is under the Pyr, but there's a very long way to get to Erā when I am in Pyr. And I don't know where in hell I am. I stood and looked for the big tree and I found it just right next to the tree that I am sitting. I put down my bag and climb up the tree. I get into the very top. I saw smokes coming from the—I glanced down the compass, and I can determine the north. So, the direction of the smoke is on the east.

I immediately climb down and put the belt of my sword back and my backpack. I stopped for a while when I heard heavy footsteps coming like battalion of big men coming. I gripped on the handle of my sword to get ready whatever kind of thing it is. Even the rabbits and squirrels hid on their homes. Okay, my decision is hiding behind the tree not until I saw what kind of thing they are. I kneel down and pull out my phone and extend it to see on the reflection on what kind of thing they are.

My eyes dilated seeing metallic armored tall men coming to my direction. I immediately slipped my phone on my pocket then I stood and gripped on my sword. My heart started pumping fast. Damn, how did they know that I am here?

"We had surrounded you, show yourself!" a strong deep voice demands me. I closed my eyes hard. Don't show yourself. I murmur to myself. "Show yourself, human!" I snapped my eyes open. How did really they know that I enter their world?

I breathe and show myself to them. They pointed their swords and spears on me. I raise my hand as a surrender and looked at them. They are all wearing red clothing with metallic armor like in old history of Greece. They got a flag of a dragon. Dragon?

"Speak your name, human!" the commander which I guessed ordered to surround me. I am damned. I did not speak and look straight directly to the commander. The commander nods and someone hit my nape and I felt my face and body on the grass. I saw their boots coming closer to me yet it was blur.
