"Vi, faster! we're late again!" Kyrus said, waiting for me outside the tent. "Wait-agh! I can't get this bloody belt right!" I said. Kyrus walked in, now doing my belt for me, clearly in a hurry. "Let's go!" he said. We ran across the campus to the cartography tent. 

"Chantrea! Oberon! you're late again, how many times do I have to tell you that time is important!" Our senior cartographer said. "Take your seats!" he said. Kyrus and I sat beside each other. As I sat I saw Nina Allan giggling at me. I rolled my eyes before focusing on what we were supposed to draw.

I made my way out of the Cartography tent. "Vi," I heard. I sighed as I realized the voice. "If you've come to make fun of me Nina, don't waste my time," I said, still walking, at the corner of my eye, I saw her. "I can do that but, No. " She said. I raised an eyebrow before glancing at her, I was much taller than Nina. "I came to ask about uhm...Kyrus" she said, my head quickly turned to her. "What? you guys aren't together right?" She asked. She was right, we weren't, we are just best friends after all. "Uh-yeah. Why? what about him?" I asked, looking ahead again. "I really like him," she started. I furrowed my eyebrows, "So?". "I was hoping you can help me talk to him about it. You-" I cut her off. "I can't help you with that, try asking someone else. I'm busy at the moment," I said then hurried my steps away. Why would I help her confess to Kyrus?

"Vi! here!" I heard. I turned to see Kyrus sitting at a lunch table with our other friends. I smiled as I walked to them, I sat beside him. In front of us were Harry Lenovertich and Cam Dovernaketh. "Hey," I greeted them both. they smiled at me, simply because their mouths were stuffed with food. " One day you both are going to choke on the amount of food you eat," I said as I took a bite off my bread. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever" Cam said as he swallowed his food. "Where did you go, Vi?" Kyrus asked. I looked at him, "Oh, nothing just got a little lost," I lied. Kyrus nodded. 

"Oh. We've been meaning to ask" Harry started as he switched glances with Cam, a playful smirk appearing on their faces, I just know what they were about to ask was nonsense. "What took you both long to arrive?" Harry asked. "Vi needed help with her belt," Kyrus said, I nodded. Big smiles appeared on their faces. "Oh rip those smiles off your faces," Kyrus said. "I mean you two had been friends for how long now?" Cam asked. "Since we were five" I answered. "See! it would be impossible nothing happened," He said. I shook my head. "Trust me. We are the best of friends mate," Kyrus said, putting a shoulder over me. "Whatever you say," Harry said.

"What are you doing next?" I asked. "I have target training next," Kyrus replied as we walked. I nodded, "You?" he asked. "Oh, I have to finish a map in the Cartography tent" I smiled. "Okay, I have to go Vi. Be careful, I'll see you later" Kyrus patted my head before walking away. I looked at him for a second. I continued to walk to the Cartography tent. As I walked, I saw the Order of the Moon tower. The tower was about three floors up, the building itself stood out from the others because of its night black color. At the top were a glass art, their symbol, the moon, and sun emerging. Around the tower, silver-white details spread around, just like what was on their Al Kina's. I looked at the beautiful tower. It was off-limits for the Army. 

I continued to walk. Soon I arrived at the tent, there were two boys and one girl doing their map work. I got my unfinished map before sitting on the edge, distanced from them. 

As I did my work, I heard someone call me. "Chantrea," our senior said. "Yes sir?" I said as I regain my focus. "Did you not hear me? Could you get more parchment in the barracks," he said. "Yes sir," I said before standing up and heading out. As I walked, I got the pocket watch from the pocket of my uniform. It was 1:30 in the afternoon. I placed it back in my pocket. 

I hurried my steps. Entering the tent. I smelled the scent of old parchment, the smell of wax. I walked over to the shelves of parchment. I got some, but as I was about to walk out, my vision blurred, and I felt my headache. I grabbed on the edge of the table for support, my other hand on my forehead. This had happened very often now. And I have been having the same dreams. I shook my head as my vision came back. I took deep breathes before heading back out. I went to the cartography tent and gave the parchment to our senior. I went out and headed to the empty watchtower. I stayed there trying to gather my thoughts, looking over the other soldiers, hearing gun fires from the target training area, soldiers running their laps, the noisy chatter. I don't know what's happening to me, and it's driving me insane. Am I sick? am I going insane? That is all I can think of. 

I twirled the loose hair on my shoulder, I couldn't think straight. I want to know what is happening to me.

I close my eyes, attempting to sleep, but I couldn't. I opened my eyes and looks at the entrance of our tent, outside was the campfire lighting. I wore my boots, then my coat since it's cold outside, only this time I didn't use my belt. I stepped out of the tent, the cold wind touching my skin. Around the campfire was Kyrus, beside him was Nina, at the log next to them, seated were Cam and Harry. Kyrus noticed me as I walked to them, "Evening Vi, I thought you were sleeping?" he said. "I couldn't," I said as I sat on the log across from him. "Hey Vi," Cam and Harry greeted. "What are you all talking about?" I asked, for some reason my eyes stuck to Kyrus and Nina, she was obviously showing Kyrus she likes him, but Kyrus is too blind to see. "The King," Cam replied as he ran his hand through his curled-up hair, Harry doing the same to his half lengthen wavy hair, which he now tucked a strand behind his ears. "The king huh," I said as I nodded. "How about you Vi? what are your thought about the King?" Harry asked. "I don't know, won't we get in trouble for talking about him?" I said. Cam chuckled, "You won't be shouting right? you'll be fine," He said. I looked at Nina for I didn't trust her that much. I sighed, "I don't like the King. He is a selfish and ignorant man, he only cares about his army and not ours. He doesn't even show himself to the public," I said, my eyebrows furrowed. Cam and Harry were silent but nodded. "I agree with Vi, I don't like the King as well," Kyrus said, looking at me. I smiled at him, he smiled back. I noticed Nina feeling uncomfortable now, she'd been trying to get close to Kyrus but she never succeeded. 

Soon Cam and Harry left, saying they were feeling sleepy. It was just Kyrus, Nina, and I now. There was an awkward silence between us. "Uh, Nina. It's getting late, why don't you go to sleep," Kyrus said. "Oh-uh, sure, goodnight," she said as she stood up. Did he really tell her to go? "Goodnight Vi," she said, I gave her an awkward smile before she walked to her tent. 

Kyrus walked and sat beside me. "Why do hate Nina?" Kyrus asked. I looked at him before looking back at the fire, "I don't hate her. I mean she's a good gal, but I just don't fully trust her," I said. Kyrus nodded, he examined my face, "Vi if somethings going on, you know you can tell me," he said, looking at me with worry. "I'm fine. I just miss home, Hysteria," I smiled weakly. "It's alright, we chose this," he said as he placed an arm around my shoulder. I lay my head on his shoulder as he rubbed my arm gently.

I was in a dark space again, the moon illuminating light above me. I looked around it was pitch black. "Wake Up Tinuviel, wake the spirit in you," I deep voice of a woman said. "Who is it?" I asked as I felt my heart beating faster. A woman emerged from the dark, her hair was colorless, skin white like snow, eyes soft like the clouds, It was the Enchantress. She held my hand, soon we were in space, around us were stars. "Why am I seeing you?" I asked, the Enchantress looked at me, a soft smile on her face. "The people on this planet need you, awaken your spirit,". I gasp as I woke up, it was still night, I calmed myself. What is this? what spirit?
