i can't lose you again.

CHAPTER TWO

Palladium had shown the new professor around, and now it was nighttime.

Wystan was getting ready for bed inside his sleeping quarters.

Once he was dressed, he crawled into bed. But, he couldn't fall asleep due to many thoughts raging inside his head.

That has to be my Palladium! He even said he started attending Alfea 10 years ago, the same time that he was pronounced dead! This professor is also the spitting image of him.

The elf tossed and turned in his bed.

He seems to have lost his memories as well.. He should've remembered my name as we have been friends for almost 5 years before he..

He shook his head to rid himself from such negative thoughts.

He should get to bed. His first day on the job is tomorrow morning, after all.

Wystan woke up to the sound of knocking on his door.

"Coming.." He yawned groggily.

He opened the door to reveal Palladium on the other side holding a tray of coffee and tea.

"Hey, what brings you here?" Wystan asked the other.

"I just thought you might need some fuel for your first day, so I brought you some coffee and tea," Palladium answers, lifting the tray a bit. "May I come in?"

"Sure. You can set the tray on the table, thank you."

Palladium walked in and set the tray down. He turned to face Wystan again.

"I do hope you enjoy your first day here. It may be rough, though, as many new girls are transferring to Alfea today. Evil entities may try and use this day as a distraction to cause havoc in Alfea," The shorter elf explained.

"What kind of evil entities might you be talking about?"

"Witches from Cloud Tower and other dark magic users."

Wystan looked down at the mention of users of dark magic. He knew Palladium wasn't talking about him, but it still somewhat stung.

"Anyways, I'd better get going. I having morning classes this semester. I'll see you." Palladium waved good-bye before he shut the door behind him.

Wystan got dressed into the armoured uniform that was in his dresser before he took a couple sips of his coffee.

After checking that he had everything, he headed down to the gate to patrol.

Minutes had passed by and not a single fairy was in sight.

I thought today was the first day? Where are all these-

"Stella! Are you sure about this?" A red-haired girl was talking and walking beside her blonde friend.

"Of course! It's not even bad." The blonde was obviously pressuring the other girl.

Wystan eyed them as they came into close-contact.

"I don't remember seeing you before.." The blonde stopped right in front of Wystan.
