Watcher's Admins

Chapter Thirty-One

"You can take off your helmet here, X." Xelqua chuckled, knocking on it gently. "We are in the zone where everything is taken care of to maintain balance in the other realms."

"You're right." Xisuma face-palmed before pulling the helmet off and resting it between his arm and side. He focused his gaze on the card, his eyes sparking to life as bright jade green and he did the same thing. He dropped it and shook his hand inhaling sharply. "What the..."

"Let me see." Martyn said and bent down to pick it up. It took a moment until his already blue eyes darkened and glowed as if they were enchanted. He dropped it quickly as well and flexed his fingers. "That doesn't...seem right."

"What?" Calypso asked as Xelqua picked it up. "What's wrong?"

"There isn't any Watcher," Xelqua started.

"Listener," Martyn continued.

"Or Admin sense in it..." Xisuma finished.

"There's a but coming, isn't there?" Krishna asked and the three looked at Xelqua's students.

"And yet we see it in different aspects of what it is now. It's ancient and has a single point." They muttered as one. Xelqua held out the card and the Watcher and Admin took hold of a corner. "Watch." Xelqua told his students and nodded to his friends.

Purple, gold, green and blue light rushed down their hands into the card as they're eyes brightened their respective colours. Calypso and Krishna backed up as the card seemed to catch on fire. The Watcher, Admin and Listener quickly dropped the card and backed up shielding their eyes as the mess of colourful flames turned into a shocking white. "What does that mean?" Krishna asked quickly grabbing Xelqua to steady him with Calypso.

"White flames...." Martyn murmured stumbling with Xisuma as they grabbed each other to stay on their feet. "Not white." Xelqua shook his head. "Colourless."

"So it is them." Xisuma breathed and ran his hands down his face. "But if they are the weavers of our story. Of life itself. If we're all truly their pawns..."

"Then why are they trying to get our professor out of the picture?" Calypso asked, looking over at it. "If it is true...then they planned on him coming back to the Academy-"

"But then make this happen. Try and trap him in something like that." Krishna shifted and looked at the now ash on the ground.

"We can't know for sure, but now that we know it really is them...all we can do is wait. It's impossible to know fully what they're planning. We just need to let it be until the time is right." Xisuma shifted before looking at Xelqua. "They think you're important. Rather that is asleep forever or until the time is right."

"Like a sleeper agent." Martyn sighed. "You can't leave the academy, but staying there alone isn't safe."

"He's not alone." Krishna shook her head, causing Xelqua and the other two to look at her and Calypso. "We know everything there is to know about it. Not to mention...something happened that none of us can explain when we were attacked by the other class."

"And what was that?"

"According to them, I was frozen. As if I wasn't even breathing. I don't remember anything between hearing two of my students cry out and one of a council member touching my back. Then it was like everything came back to me at once, I was out of it...and I felt in the wrong place."

"We had to grab him before he toppled over. When he says he was out of it...he was out of it. We thought it was because he stayed up the night before and forgot to eat, which I assume he does alot....but what happened earlier today explained...parts of it..." Krishna shifted and Xelqua glared at her, which only made her shake her head.
