The Order Of The Rose

chapter 5

Oliver's POV

It's been about a month and the festivity out our country has caused for many change in the school activities, so you may ba asking what this festivity is to put it simply called the "Festival of the harvesting moon" it's topically a traditional event everywhere in the world and is done simultaneously and it's to give youth a taste of power and a sense of responsibility, it also helps in making them understand the hierarchy of the world around them

This hierarchical positions are as follows King/Queen, Prince/Princess, Marquess/Marchioness, Earl/Countess, viscount/viscountess, Baron/Baroness and all of them are supposedly the honorable chosen one's of the region for a whole decade and has power over the authority and has a say in state affairs Which is the reason why many would kill for the position of any of the given especially the position for King for it has  perks that could very well be a good fit for a supposed King

Well this Festival last for a week and for added bonus the white church of our community will be choosing it's saint in waiting apprentice, the one who helps the great saint served the moon goddess, in order for the goddess of the night protector of dreams and bringer of paths to guide everyone, and it's to honor the other deity of this world

There are 13 in total and on which is the last remaining deities in the Esther, the moon goddess Selene protector of the night and patron goddess of shifters/lycan race but is acknowledge by all as the all powerful goddess of Esther, then there is the beast god Durga, a benevolent deity that assist the lost and the ill and is known by all species as a image of pure affection and purity, his most feared counter part the serpent goddess Ignis tyrannical in nature and is said to be the bringer of natural disasters and misfortune, the witch goddess Circe, a goddess capable of preforming archaic rituals and is accompanied by two gastly apparition of women, one of old age capable of seeing the past, present and future of the world, the other youthful that sees all types of malicious intent, another god the god of demons Gimel creators of the demons and king of malice,then comes the god of death Ark'ha he is the one who guides all souls to their final destination along with his beloved spouse the water god Freias and his brother the god of dreams Rhioña, then the least famous god, the god of daylight Imothy with his brother the sky god Toruk who spins the world and lights the sky, and last but certainly not the least the ice goddess Khrion and verdancy goddess Mishra the most mysterious of them all,

There is a legend about the first saint of the lady of the light an angel has brought the saint from a vessel of unknown origin from outer space, if that was true then we could say that the world I once lived in was not the only one to have been able to inhabit life, well back to the saint's story, the saint shares it's power to a supposed fragment of himself, which is reincarnated to a new individual, which got me interested, it's said that the saint in waiting is the wing of the first saint that up until now is roaming Esther and giving guidance to anyone in need

As I was day dreaming or more like night dreaming because our call is at night time, one of my close friends came to me and said " if you're going to stare at the wall make sure that no one else would see you" Reid said as he give me a questioning look as he waits for a response"well speak up, tell me what your daydreaming about" I shake my head in disagreement "I ain't got no time for that Reid, I'm... busy" he looks me in the eye "hmmmmm" then smile "you sure you're not planning to make everyone fall for you" he teased which i ignored

When walked pass the library and into the cafeteria to get some food when I noticed that many of the students there where looking at me, well looking is an understatement it's more like checking out, so I decided to just get some sandwiches and head straight to the library

When I got to the library where no one seems to take notice of me, I sat down and began to munch on my tuna sandwich while reading my book when all of a sudden I realized something, oh my goodness, I freaking left Reid at the cafeteria so I headed out to find him when I bumped into someone yet again, I said my apology and made a run for it to the cafeteria

When I got myself there a bunch of class A strigoi where there and they were circling on someone, I thought it was a waste of time so I looked around and can't find Reid, where has that guy gone to, suddenly I heard a loud cry, it came from the crowd and what ever it was I ain't having any of it, as I was about to leave, I caught glimpse of who the leeches were trashing out, and it shocked me, it was Reid and another student getting beat up by these trashy little leeches

I ran in the middle of the scene as one of them was about to hit the smaller student with a pipe and took the opportunity to catch the pipe which admitted was a close call, I send them a death glare which obviously working, I don'tknow why thoughbut thankful it did, I helped Reid and the lycan stand up and brought them to the school clinic

At the clinic the school nurse began to clean their bruises, applied some ointments and dressed their injuries

The omega got up and was about to leave when suddenly Reid offered him to come and have lunch with us, the Omega tried to decline but was later convinced by Reid's adamant pleadings

When we got to the library we were filled with silence that made me fell uncomfortable and awkward in a sense but then I saw Reid's eyes illuminates it's true colors red and I knew something was up so i left and gave them space for them to converse

When minutes pass I was about to go back to the library when I hear the bell rang signaling the begging of my next class, so I ran as fast as I could before I get late and to my surprise when I turned to the corner I smashed myself again to someone and if that wasn't enough the materials that the guy is carrying was scattered all around the place, looking at my watch I knew to myself that I am definitely going to be late, I lay of all of my stuff on the ground and started to gather all the clutter in the ground

"I'm sorry" I said trying to look apologetic to the guy "it's ok, were all in a hurry anyways" the man said, when I looked up to see who I had bumped into I got this in settling sensation that I've seen him before so I ask for his name as he looks at my direction

"My name's Able, Able phantomcade "
