ALORA EMBRY

It is a hot afternoon but my mind is floating. Our professor was saying something but I can't process it so I don't know why we are here outside.

"Is everyone already here?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Okay..."

"Alora."

"Hmm?" I look at him with a blank face.

"Are you alright, you didn't forget something important, right?"

"Damien this is urgent." I held his both shoulders and shake my head.

"What is it?"

"I'm still asleep, my mind is floating!"

Last night I was doing my assignment and I didn't finish it because I ended up reading a book. It's because of Leah f she didn't recommend that book I will not be distracted. I stayed up all night because every chapter keeps on getting interesting and then Damien suddenly appeared in my room waking me up. He helped me with my assignment and I was relieved when I do pass it on time but the problem is I'm still sleepy.

All I want is to lay on my bed and sleep until I'm satisfied.

"Stop messing around."

"You dirtbag."

"So, what did you do last night?"

"I was studying, if you didn't go to my room this morning probably, I'm still sleeping you hear me?"

"Don't raise your voice."

"I'm sorry, I was high today."

"Are you sure you studying or have you spent your time reading romance novels? I saw one on beside you." my face heated and I look around.

"Shh! They might hear it!"

"See you are guilty?"

"I was really studying then Leah recommend this masterpiece-"

"What an idiot." I punch his chest and listen to the Professor. Oh, so we are here to find mana stone okay then. Now I know.

"Just stay by my side."

"Yes, Professor." our professor snaps her fingers, and instantly we are now in front of the cave. "Wah, Damien everything's fine right?"

"Of course."

"I was scared what if my arms disappeared or my legs?" some students who heard what I said laughed.

"Don't worry Embry that won't happen."

"Ahh, I'm now at peace." they laugh and suddenly the students from the neighboring Empire came.

"Did we make you wait for long?"

"No. Class they are from Sulla Empire and she is Lady Esmerelda."

"Greetings, Lady Esmerelda."

"Students, the Professor from Dormer are Lady Erika and Lady Lydia."

"Greetings." They show us what the mana stones look like. There are large torches everywhere and, there are no insects and snakes.

"This cave is big."

"We need to find it as soon as possible it's scary here."

"Woah Alora is scared." I punched his arm and he laugh.

"Tsk, brothers are the ones who go in places like this."

"What will you do if I'm not here, Tsk."

"Idiot I will not be here because I'm definitely still sleeping." he shakes his head and the groups started to part ways.
