Alchemy : The Parallel Beyond

" Damn it , dude, how do you think we gonna fit it", said Ben tugging at the suitcase chain.

The Council had prepared for only  child coming to the school, but Ben's unexpected rebellion (according to them. But he had said only two lines in my favor ) . So we were stuck with one suitcase.

The Council promised us that they would return the following day around the same time and asked us to be ready for departure. We hoped that the Council members were not sending us secretly to a jail, and making  an issue about school.

I had no idea where the school was, so when  I asked them , all they gave me was a mysterious smile

“Patience boy, patience”.

It was frustrating to know that you were going to a school full off magical people. Even frustrating not to know about its location. I thought about web searching it before we went on Alchemist Web search but no such luck. I typed the name of the school, but all it came out was restricted content asking for student ID. And password. Damn it.

Emily and Lucas burst through the door at the exact second “I think you heard wrong, Em”, argued Luke.

“ No I heard Mr Abethy properly and clearly. He said something about Xave and Ben going away”, they stopped dead when they saw me and Ben packing up. Well Ben was packing up, I was just surfing the internet.

“Where the hell are you going, packing all those things”.

“ Actually”, I said hesitating “ I wanted to tell you this earlier, but as I came to know this morning. I know it’s a lame excuse. But I am sorry”,.

“So you really are going away to some weirdo magic school”, said Luke sitting on the bed and glaring at me. Well he thought it was glaring , it came out  ore as a  grimace.

“ This is so not fair”, shrugged Ben. “ Why am I packing the bag, don’t you want to help me”.

“Stop  the fussing will you”, snapped Emily.

“I am not fussing. “, snapped Ben back.

“ It is just that we are going away from home to some unknown school. And we don’t even know where the school is”, I said defending Ben for some reason. I think I was just evening it out since he had helped me earlier.

“ When are you going anyways and why didn’t you tell me that you were going to a new school today”, said Luke.

“ Because I came to know of it myself when I came back from school and found the council sitting in my room having tea. The next thing I knew they were proposing to send us to a school. For all I know it may be a school for delinquents. We may well think that we are going to prison. I bet there are all types of enchantments guarding the school”.

“Hey dude remember. I did not do no wrong. I am not even sixteen and have not even come to my power. So how can I be unstable”, huffed Ben.

“ You have not come to your powers”, gaped Emily.

“ Nope”.

“But that’s not even possible.”

“What’s not possible?”, I asked

“ I mean it’s not possible that Ben should be admitted to the Warrior school. They should be         admitted after they are of age”, said Emily.

“How do you know that ?”, asked Luke.

“Logic”, said Emily looking uncomfortable for some reason.

“There , its finally done”, said Ben swiping an invisible bead of sweat.

But just as he said that, the chain burst out of the suitcase and all the clothes came spilling out.
