As soon as she reached the others they took no time and went to the spot indicated by sillias.
Arriving up there,everything seemed to be enclosed on itself,like a world of its own.
The school lives seemed to vibrates in those walls..without crossing further.
The only thing hearable at this altitude were the fade sound of voices and gentle windy breezes.
Where sillias foresighted there be no one as the person-or rather those persons would probably have been gone by the time they got there,she still thought they would have at least catch a glimpse of hair.
But still she was not the the least disappointed in coming there.
The view was astonishing and breathtaking.
"What a sight!from up here students and teachers seems just like a colony of ants!!"yelled out Catalina while giggling.
"They really do!"answered back in the same exact tone Samantha.
"Why are they screaming?it's not like we can't hear each other...quite the opposite...well I guess I'll just let them be."though sillias as the others all started admiring the view next to the two perk up girls.
She rushed too and joined them.
..
"I can't imagine how gorgeous it must be looking at dawn."claimed sillias as her eyes shimmered a in a revery way.
The only thought of how mesmerizing the thing would looked as a whole taunted her in such a way that kept her eyes wide open.
"Alright sillias,cut to the chase!"Shouted Divion in a questionable and determined confidence,probably coming from the rush of adrenaline and dopamine caused from such a height which leaded to an almost euphorical atmosphere.
Sillias glanced at him perplexed,then smiled a bit before shifting on to a neutral expression.
She nodded and added-
"Yes,truly perspicace of you."she claimed in that same quite eloquent speech a detective would tend to use when interrogating a witness.
"I think we should be more vigilant..it is less of a flaw that some would commonly believe it to be."
In the world they lived.. even if showing prudence is a must,it is was also considered a trait for the feeble mind only.If preventing things was acceptable...showing too much prudence and mefiance was a sign of lack of courage and confidence which would end up classifying those categories of people as coward.
The true reasoning of this says though...
could be translated into for some as-
"Only those who can't afford the bare minimum- an armor forged in iron would show fear to the unknown-
But a man whose sources of yellow metalic button finds no limit..its certain..shall him find no trace of fear runnimg through his veins,even faced and confronted to the gods."
Simple translation..
A poor commoner would fear life for he won't ever find peace without a pennie left on him.
Whereas on the other hand...a rich noble would have the benefit to exchange only a part of the tiniest portion of their revenues for their protection and life guaranteed to eighty percent .
This says was written by an anarchist twenty years ago whose ideas was to rebuild a society where nobility would be sole ruler of it all and where moneys would win over values and morals.
...
As sillias pronounced those word the others felt unease.
Her words contradicted with how they were raised.
Walking on eggshells more than they already been doing ever since..well the crystals incident...
Going far more would be exaggerated and troublesome.
Some wished to say out what were on their mind but refrained.
After all none of them wanted to say something that could end up being easily misinterpreted and even turn into an offense against sillias.
Catalina and Sillias looked at eachothers then to the others.
Their look was filled with exasperation...they never thought that such a reaction would be parading itself on their classmates face after such a silly little request.
"Of course its only an advice..feel free to take it or not-"Sillias sighed
..
"I should probably had specified which kind of pride I was looking for back then...well why not gripping the opportunity while were at it."she thought while clearimg her throat.
*Ahem*..*Ahem*
"There's two kind of pride-
So different and yet so similar..Ones the pride of appearence.. expectation..conformity exct..
And the other one...thats the soldier and ruler pride-
Uniqueness and uncontroversial.
Giving an oath to someone,an unbreaking promise carrying the orders of a powerful ruler.
..
"Which one are you,someone who will sacrifice his live to be remembered in a good eyes..or someone who live to protect those he or she care for with pure honesty."
She said those words with a piercing glaze.Her presence at this exact moment completely changed...
She was..tactless and her voice was firm,holding something as thought enraged and yet so peaceful and silent.
Her eyes glowed in lucidity as her stare intensified and her position switched to become straighter and more rigid.
The air seemed to get thicker as a sense of familiarity was being felt.
"Why do these words feel so familiar..I feel like I've already heard them..somewhere..but where?"murmured Scarlett to herself in a low Voice while holding onto her chest.
..
"He looks out of it"thought all of them in the same tone.
....
Sillias closed her eyes putting an end to the extreme tension.
..
"What just happened?"asked Sillias placing a hand on her own forehead before falling to her knees on the cold ground.
..
They all stared at her for a dozen of minutes before reaching to her.
"We should be the one asking you that...what..how do you feel..?"asked Catalina.
"You all saw..what I've felt right?"she asked back.
"If you mean how you're Voice,stares and even way to stands got weird out of nowhere..well yes."divion replied
"Tell us..even though I admit you were right..you didn't intend to say those things to us like that in such a way right?"asked Scarlett,her eyes wattery.
"Of course not..The metaphor used was mine but..I didn't intend it to come out in such rash way,tone and voice..it's as if..my body..or even my conscience moved and acted on its own."
She exhaled before continuing.
"For a moment..my body did not fell like my own.."
...
The others watched carefully.They waited for her to be come back to her sense.
She did.After having a sip of water she was back to the sillias they knew.
They didn't wish to admit it but seeing sillias like that was frightening.
Maybe it was all due to the fact sillias acted as their leader and seeing you're leader whose of ordinary was so strong and composed and would always help all of them carrying all their burdens,vulnerable and shakened..it was awful and displeasing.
...
Back to the class,they closed both doors giving access to their class,closed all the windows and pulled all the curtains of the class.
It was still mid-day but the class now fell into pitch black darkness.
They had free hours due to an urgent staff meeting that occurred and required all the school adult to attend to..and so they could use the class however they want.
Alicia took some candles found in the broom room and Catalina lit up each one by using her flame ability who she gained much more control as of recently.
Still confused by the recent event sillias still wanted to try something.
..
She placed her hand facing eachother in horizontal and then acted as if she was opening something..like a jar or any other glass container.
It looked as if she she was having difficulty but then in a last quick move as thought she finally successes in opening the jar or glass container,an emanating light appeared from her wrist to her palm and Illuminated the room..surprising everyone present.
They rushed to surround her.The white light was different from what they've seen before.It was still translucid but yet..more layered.
It spinned on itself like a dancing ballerina graceful in a high speed.
Sillias gently pushed it above to make it touch the ceiling.
"Since when are you able to do this?"Asked kayven grabbing her left arm.
"I don't know,it's just feels natural..I think I'm starting to understand it a bit more now."
He looked at her,smirked and then nodded.
There eyes met eachother and for a moment..they were back into losing themselves into eachothers eyes..as thought those looks was a cure making them forget anything they were supposed to be doing on the moment.
...
"Are you guys alright?Kayven if you're thinking about pestering sillias again..I thought you you guys got alongs a little more now!"Shouted Samantha interrupting them.
They all dispersed themselves going back to moving the desk to the center.
Something unseen to the others was the red blushing faces of the two.
The corner of their mouth lifted upside.They did the best they could to hide it.
"Calm down."They both told themselves,hand shaking a bit.
...
At the end they all sat themselves on the tables now set up in a round shape.
They were bandwidth to speak up now.
...
"Seriously this meeting have became so common and regular now."They thought in irony.
..
Sillias felt a sense of eucrasia after all this.The others were astonish on how calm she was and could not comprehend it to the fullest.
A normal person would feel panic and dementia losing control of their mind,body and voice for even five seconds...her who experienced it for three minute straight should have took more time to get back to her sense and yet here she was smiling awkwardly.
"He's truly something else but guess it turn out to be for the better."Whispered marklov to Kayven,sat just beside him.
"Yeah I guess so.."replied kayven averting his gaze.
....
"I still can't put a word on what happened earlier but my best guess is that it's probably tied to the crystals...we still know too less to comprehend their effects but...haven't you felt different recently..?"questioned sillias with ambiguity.
..
The all looked at eachother with perplexed before answering.
"Well now that you mention it..it did feels different recently."Claimed Catalina.
That's when they realized something they failed to miss more than once-
Their feelings and behavior had already changed little by little without them noticing.
It was not just a boost in confidence or a a little accentuate determination that changed..no something more and yet still a big mystery.
....
"Remember on the training ground...when those students where picking at us...I..felt a rage erupting in me..if I have to be honest,I did not plan to respond to them like that..it just went out on its own..i felt like a flame was liting up in my heart and at some point it just stopped mid way before it could explode."She added.
...
Through listening to Sillias and Catalina perception of things the class realized they all felt the same way at some point.
Like a blase,one wrong move and they knew everything could turn into ashes.
...
"I see,may I have a moment."sillias excused pretending the need to use the restroom.
She stood and took the direction of the locked doors .
They watched her,in unity a thought rose in their mind but only kayven had the gut to say it out loud for her to hear.
"Such a jaded apathy even toward yourself."he yelled out.
"We can't complete this conversation without the right elements..patience is the finest key we own."She replied.
...
The next day the atmosphere between each others felt drowsy and distant.
The teacher noticing,decided to try and warm up their mood.
"Alright,whose predisposed to take on the charge of CP and Vice CP..Reminder the chosen lucky two will automatically become you're class representative and so until y'all graduates...any names?"He announced in a joyful delighted tone.
...
It was no surprise that even though they didn't spoke aloud,they all instinctively pointed at sillias and Kayven.
"Alright class representative,Young sir Brighten and Sir Esmyre."he said in a jolted manner.
...
As the lessons resumed,sillias took a peak outside. The weather was crisp and hazy.A contrasting softness and sharpness air flowed.
It was an invigorating chills for her.
Everything was set for the day to be modest and they knew that no matter what may happen on in the futur,they would only be able to count on one another to go through those changes without a scratch.
