I grew up listening to a story. In that story there were villains and heroes. Like any story out there. For years, I believed and swore loyalty to the people who told me, and to those I thought were the heroes. But after I got older, I learned that...

Fairies and Specialists together in the same training for the first time. Unlike anything they were used to.
Some looked anxious, others didn't like the idea. Or taking it seriously, or excited to be able to hit and use magic on each other without getting detention.
Unbelievable. They're going to be trained not to die and that's what they think about.
"As many of you may have heard or suspected, Burned Ones are prowling territories near the school" I say loud enough for everyone to hear.
Murmurs and whispers filled the silence of the countryside. I take a deep breath feeling my irritation increase.
I clasp my hands hearing a mention of Medusa. Gossip and secrets spread among the students faster than fire.
I see Viperine clench her jaw, shooting daggers at Terra with her eyes. That would bring problems.
"Silence!" I shout. Harvey jumped a little in shock. "From today, until second order, Fairies and Specialists will train side by side. You will learn the true techniques of fighting the Burned Ones"
"We separate you into pairs: a fairy and a specialist" explained Saul, looking at me slightly "When we call your names, get together and discuss what you have in common and what your weaknesses are. Side by side, the fairy's mission is to defeat the Burned One while the specialist protects them"
I watch the students pair up as Saul announces them.
"Bloom and Sky. Viperine and Riven" finished "Discuss and deliberate. Nicolai will be here to answer your questions"
We walked away towards the school.
I can't help but notice something between Viperine, Riven, Sky and Bloom.
There was something very wrong there.
"I'll head over to Viperine's dorm. Meet you later."
"Celeste" I feel a hand on my arm "Can we talk for a second?" He asked
I agree, letting him guide me.
Saul placed one hand on my forehead and the other on my neck.
"You have a fever" He sighed worriedly.
I wasn't well and he noticed.
"I'm fine Saul" I'm not.
"No, you're not. Something's wrong. You should go to the doctor!"
"I'll see later..." I try to dodge but he holds me
"As soon as this is over, I'll take you to a doctor whether you like it or not. You've been like this since yesterday"
