Mystical Academy: The Mystery of the World

I throw a small pouch of silver quarts to the captain of the ship that will sail all the way to the Pyr for trading. Good thing that they did not recognize me because I cover up my face only to show my eyes. I have a feeling that the sea will be with me tonight.

"Pyr, it is." The Captain said and they help me let my horse rode on the ship. Three nights to sail straight to the Pyr. One night for stopping to the Hydōr and sail again on the second night. It is hard to sail straight to the Pyr because of the thing that every sailors and pirates fears. The sea monsters.

I sat on the vacant big barrel and pulls out the cloth. I peek on the thing that Princess Amanda gave me. My eyes widens on the pendant of the silver necklace. The tear of the mermaid. Tears of the mermaid become a real pearl and it will keep the person who is wearing it safe and not a single knife won't kill the person. I immediately cover it and put it back on my pocket making sure that I won't lose it.

We are sailing and I wonder on the waters. The sun is high and the water is clear and clean like it is seducing me to jump and enjoy the water. If Adhiti was here with me, she won't ever resist the water. I wonder how she is. I wanted to know from Flame that he's taking care of her and won't starve her.

I observed the crew doing their works, tying up ropes, releasing the wings as the wind blows. I cannot stop wonder how she is. I just hoped that they won't her hurt. Pyr has a less of torture when executing sometimes, they end the person immediately without any trail. But not in other Kingdoms. Other Kingdoms practice torture, mostly in the Kingdom of Hydōr, Erā and Psychē. Although, Psychē practice the torture, they have to make a long process of trail before the execution.

"From what Kingdom are you from?" one of the crew asked or I guess the co-captain. I just looked at him. "Perhaps, you are from Psychē? Boy, you sailed in a wrong timing today. The weather looks so good but deadly. There's an unexpected storm coming and it is very dangerous. This is another sorrowful, ire storm. The Goddess might be in some pain that causes her lover." I looked at him quizzically. Goddess? Did he really believed that the Goddess causes storms? All I know is that the Queen of Aēr causes it because of her uncontrollable anger.

"You said that it is another sorrowful, ire storm. What do you intent to say?"

He grins showing a golden tooth on the very middle. If I am not mistaken, he cannot be a co-captain of a ship only doing a business but a Pirate who ended up in merchant's ship.

"Three years ago, the storm that came into our world is from the anger of a mother nature. Did you felt how strong and disastrous it is?"

"It is the same thing on how the Princess become furious when his father take away the human that she loves most."

The Princess is with her soul mate that time. I know the story. It comes from my mother who is the great friend of the Princess. My mother who devoted her life to the Princess. A tremendous thunder vibrates the whole world that shakes everyone's fear. The captain told to sail quick to the island of Hydōr. The wind gets stronger as it leads us to the Hydōr.

I helped them tying the ropes for it to be easy and save us all. This is my first time sailing in a stormy day. The storm starting to fast like a tear from the eye. I know that she will be safe inside the dungeon but it makes me still worried that she's all alone, cold and hungry. I am all sure that they will starve her, but not Flame. I just wished that he will take care of her.

"The Goddess's grief! Don't let her feed you on the sea monsters!" The Captain scowls at us. I wonder who they are talking to. It isn't Calypso or Galatea they are talking. They won't make a big disaster for the sailors. A large thunder hits the five mountains on the east, west, north, and south.

The sky gets darker and the wind splashes together with the mad sea on our ship. Then, it suddenly stopped for a while. The sea and wind calms for a moment then we heard singing. I had noticed that the voice was enormously familiar.

"They say you have a new love, I'm happy for you love. I just don't wanna met her, are you gonna keep her? Cause I don't wanna see you with her, I don't wanna see her face resting on your embrace, feet standing on my place… Just let me die, then…"

Every one of us get mesmerized on her voice. I look up on the sky and a single water drops from above into my forehead. It was her tear. The Goddess is in grief. Then, another drop falls and it started running on us heavily. Big drops of rain makes me all sorrow.

"Hurry up boy! There's no time for stopping!" The Co-Captain pushed me to wake me up.

We had reached one of the island of the Hydōr yet we stayed on the water while the anchors are down. I go down where my horse is and gently caressed his nose bridge. I lay down on the hammock near my horse and stare at the rocking lantern on the post near me.

Then, the storm stops like nothing happened like it was a miracle. And the sailors gets up from their hammocks and get ready for sailing again. I decided to go out and my eyes widens on how calm the sky and the ocean.

"She finally had fallen asleep." The Co-Captain told me.

Prince Flame of Pyr

I was standing and looking out the window. Watching how beautifully the thunders hits the five mountains of east, west, south and north. I suddenly feel guilty as I was the reason why the Goddess is in grief. Did I provoke one of her daughter? Is Adhiti or should I say Catastrophe is her daughter?

I decided to pick few fruits and a bottle of wine and a blanket and walk towards the dungeon. My father who eyed me frowns. I looked at the direction where he came from and eyed him too.

"Perhaps did you visit the prisoner?" I asked him.

"She's singing well, and I still wonder what makes her lonely though I know the reason."

"You'll never know. Look how the Goddess is with her. It is storming on the whole world."

"I'll pretend of not seeing you." He turns back and headed to the second floor of the castle. My father is not a mad King. He has to be cruel sometimes for some reason that nobody will ever tamed our Kingdom. I walk down the dungeon and the guards pretend of not seeing me.

I stopped from taking another step when I finally realized that I was hearing her singing in grief. I causes her that. Maybe because that I am falling for her. I am falling on my best friend's girlfriend. I walk towards her and peek on her face. She's really crying. She stop singing and hugged herself while sobbing hard. She doesn't hear me coming because she's wearing my headphones.

When she had noticed me, she only glanced at me and lean back her head on the wall. I enter the vacant unlocked cell just right next to her cell and there are bars between us. I sat beside her with bars between us and put the blanket near her and fruits also the wine. She did not removed her headphones. I gently pull it down.

"I'm sorry." She put it back and wiped her tears. I open the wine and gave it to her. Damn, I forgot on giving her a glass. She took it and swig the whole bottle to her mouth. I just watch her drown herself on the wine. I even have to put the blanket around her but she always pushed me away. "It is not that uncomfortable here." I stammers.

She's crying while drinking and I just waited her to fall asleep so I could cover the blanket around her and removed the headphones from her ears and turn off her phone.

"Do you love her?" my heart almost jumped when I heard Flavia's voice out the cell where I am. She has another blanket with her and apples. I stood and took it from her. "Father told me that you are here and he pretends that he doesn't saw you bringing her a blanket." She lighten the torch on the post. "She's not evil." She said. "Then why do you want to execute her?"

"Nick, loves her very much." I told. Flavia is my only sister that is not crazy. Mostly, my brothers and sisters are psychopath and that includes my half-sister. She smiles and looked at Adhiti.

"Nick loves her very much that's why you wanted to kill her?" she asked me like it doesn't make sense. I won't tell her what I know. Burning her is the only way to save her. And Nick will be here in three days. I called the guards and told them to open her cell and they did. I carried her and put her on the other cell where there's a prisoner's bed. Then Flavia helped me carry her things.

Early in the morning, I woke up with the sound of a dove on my window. I immediately get up and pull the ribbon on her foot. There's a small piece of paper and I immediately open it.

Please don't let her suffer. I'm saving her, Flame. In the penmanship, I know where it came from. Nick. She'll be safe. I walk towards my study table and write back a message.

Adhiti/Catastrophe

My head hurt and I would thought that my heart won't hurt again but damn, there is still a pang of pain. Fuck him! If I got a chance on seeing him again, I will totally kill him. After everything he will just marry with other woman. I thought that he wanted me to marry him?! Damn him.

I looked around myself and I just realized that I wasn't in a cold no bed and bathroom cell. My bag is there too. Maybe Flame was too worried on me that's why he put me here. I looked for my tumbler and grabbed it as I drank from it. There are fruits and really? I thought that they would starve me here to death. Why the King did not know about it? He was the one who said in my face that I will starve from hunger and thirst.

"Why didn't they just kill me now?" I murmur to myself. I took the apple and eat it madly.

This is my second day here. In two days, I will be ashes. So, what I did is just walking around the small cell. I decided to remove my jacket or I should say, Nick's jacket and do pushups. I just felt the cold amulet on my chest and I pull it. I stare and check the amulet. Diamond shape amulet has five symbols inside. On the first left there's a silhouette of a woman half of her body is a tail of fish, on the right next is a Dragon and down the Dragon is a face of bull, next to the bull is a bird then on the very middle is some kind of a face of person with a wings and a body of a tiger. What kind of thing it is? It is quite familiar to me.

I immediately insert it on my shirt when there are footsteps coming. I stood and lean on the wall. A playful smiles of a man is the first thing I met which is creepy. The guard opens the cell and he enters. Now what does he want?

"I'm the second son."

"I don't care." I said coldly. He smiles and look at the bed and to me. He's really creepy. A sick one.

"I like those fierce ladies. I also don't think that you are a human. Human cannot trespass over the portal to our world except she has a blood of immortal."

"Of course, I am extraordinary. Everyone on the Academy has peculiar powers."

"I see." He murmurs and sat down on my bed. Damn him! "So, what is it that Flame likes about you? I saw him from here last night. And he had moved you in a more comfortable cell."

"Why won't you asked him? Am I the person who knows everything about men's arousal?" I scoffs and folded my arms. He looked at me from head to toe and the most thing that he did that really freak me out is licking his lips. Fucking shit! He's sick!

"Oh, I do love to know about that."

"What is it that you want from me? Prince's don't usually visit a captive."

"I do visit them, mostly if they are someone who I could fuck as a torture." My eyes really widen. Shit, I will not ever going to fuck with this man. He stood and move closer to me. I tighten my arms to myself. "Father don't care of what kind of torture that I would give to our prisoners." He caressed my hair that really makes me shivers and mostly goose bumps all over my body.

"Hush, love. I will be careful not if you don't wanted to."

"Get, off, me." I warn him. I have to get ready a defense. He jolt my wrists spreading, and pinning it on the wall. His crotch pressed to mine so I won't resist from him. His lips started crushing on mine that makes me really groans. He violently kiss me down on my neck immediately leaving hickeys. "Get off!" I scream at him and started resisting from him. I twisted my body that makes him stepped back.

I pushed him hard and kick his weakness. His precious penis. Then, I smack his face with my feet again. Since that I am going to die, I would just kill him literally. I did not stop on hitting him with my feet. Jolting his stomach and head.

"You fucking asshole!"

The guards had noticed on what I had done to the Prince. So they came together with Flame. I did not stop on fucking hitting him. Flame hugged me tight to stop while I keep screaming at his brother. The guards was about to hit but Flame stop them. They helped the Prince to get up and he glare at me deadly. I was about to attack and turn his nose to his mouth but this fucking Flame tighten his gripped around me.

"Enough now." He raises his voice to me. "Put him outside." He demands to the guards and the guards helped him. But since, a lady had beaten his thing, he pushed them and walk out himself though he is barely can move his body.

He faced me and wiped something under my eyes. I just realized that I was crying.

"Did you know that your anger gives a strong thunder on one of our tree?" I did not understand him well and I just pushed him. I turn back from him and hold on the cold bars. I just realized that I was out of breath and my heart is crazily palpating in anger.

"I'm sorry that I did not come sooner. I will make sure that he won't ever touch you again."

I breathed heavily and gripped tight on the bars as my hands started burning it.
