☆SCARLETT THE DAUGHTER OF LIGHTNING☆

Chapter VI: The Thunderstorm in the Castle

"Have a seat, dear," Dovey offered. Her office walls had eitings of gold and stories told before. I took a seat, knowing what this was about.

"Listen, Professor Dovey, I didn't mean to kill the rabbit I didn't even know I could -" I began

"I know, I know, dear your mother told me. You're not in trouble. I want to know how you are. You gave us quite a shock," she poured a cup of tea for me.

How am I? I killed someone. If all animals are really human, did I kill someone's son! daughter! cousin!

"I don't know what's happening to me. I'm not. I can't. ughh, I can't even put two sentences together. Something is brewing up. I can sense something or someone. it's almost like a call. It sounds stupid. "

I slumped back on my seat in shame.

"Hildegarde you should really talk to your mother about this," Dovey suggested. "I'll write to her. I have a feeling this has something to do with your father. "

My eyes lit up. what my father? He left before I was even born.

"What do you mean? Do you know my father? Was he a prince? Or was he something different..."

"I'm sorry, I don't know your father nor have I ever heard of him, but I'll definitely write to your mother. I'll do all that I can you are dismissed. "

I walked myself out with about a million questions left in my head.

"The trial by tale is one of the greatest honours one can get if they win in this school," the sea nymph announced. The sea nymph was quite different from the guards of the school. For instance, the other nymphs are about nine feet tall.

Adella (my forest group teacher) is smaller. Dovey commented how the nymphs are too tall. To be fair, they do keep an annoyingly close eye at you.

"In order to survive the trial, you must first be able to identify the distinctions between good and evil. Use these rules, and you will understand:

Evil attack Good defend
Evil punish. Good Forgive
Evil hurt. Good help
Evil take. Good give
Evil hate. Good love

If one should do the opposite to fool you, wait it out. They'll eventually show their true colours in the end... they always do," Adella added. The last part she said very loud.

From what I've heard, according to Beatrix group, Agatha and Sophie were turned into trolls, and Tedros had figured out which one is good and evil, resulting in the two girls dancing on red hot iron shoes.

"Now that you know these rules, use them. Any volunteers?" Adella paused to look around naturally.

Nobody wanted to. Adella began to get frustrated and picked out the never Hester. "Ah, how about Miss Hester? Yes, stand here. Put it on, and don't look." she smiled.

I'm pretty sure Hester cursed under her breath as she was putting her blindfold on, but Adella didn't hear it.

"Now we need a never and an ever. Yes, Gideon and Lucy come forward. Don't be shy, this won't hurt a bit, " and with a snap oh her fingers, they were griffins, very proud creatures.

Gideon of Oz Winnkie country a never hes as wicked as his mother they say. Nope, he's about as an idiot as a little downy owl, not that bright. This one time I was over in Gilikin for a festival and he tried to 'defy gravity' by flying over everyone on a griffin but griffins don't like nevers. Soo it ended up kicking him off, causing him to fall on top of the bands drum set. Ah, good times.
