           Blate had done her studying. She didn't need many time to learn things, she was a fast learner. This time, she couldn't help but thinking about how to get Blord outside before the graduation. She made up her mind to leave the school once again to tell Star of what had happen.

"Don't worry, Blord. I will get you out in no time. Be patient alright." she patted the wolfie's head while smiling.

At some point, she really wanted to be free from these assignment and rules. She also imagined about living in a minimalize house with big wide field  filled with flowers and grass. She loved lotus flower. A lotus symbolized as the peace flower. She never saw one, but she had read a book about it. As she read the description of a lotus, she already fell in love with what it symbolize. Her life've been rough and filled with stress and anxiety, she was hoping that someday she would go far away from the crowd and lived in peace with Blord.

After sitting on her chair thinking and imagining, she got up, went to the little cabinet and took some food that she had taken from the storage that filled with food for each student. She didn't like the food. It was so bland, but what could she do? If she didn't eat the food, she would've suffered in hunger. Realized that Blord might want some, she split the food to half and filled Blord's bowl.

Blord ate the food fast like it hadn't ate for a month, maybe Blord was hungry. Poor Blord, she could've had a better life than being with Blate, thought Blate. Without realizing it, she shedded her tear. She should've let it free from the start, why would she kept it if she couldn't even give it a good life. With that motivation, she felt energized to get it out from this wretched place.

              "Oh man, I hope she came back. I can't wait to tell her that I have gained this cool power. It really suited me. Oh, I've always wondered what it'll be up there on the sky.." Star said it proudly in front of the little bird that sit comfortably in the handmade nest.

The bird looking at her confusely, lower its head to the side a bit. It seemed that the bird smiled softly at her proud standing pose.

"Hm.. what do you think lil bird? Do you think she will come here again? Or no?" she whispered to the bird while squating and took the bird gently.

"Come on, why don't we go to the quieter place so we can try to float to the sky together?"
She placed the bird's nest inside her slingbag and walked away from her place. All the place in this city were extremely crowded, but the only place that were not touched by the human was at the top of the old castle. It took her 40 minutes to only get her on the front of the castle.

"This will look suspicious, but this was the only place and we've come this far, so no coming back." she looked up to the huge castle and started to put her feet on the castle's terrace.
She tried to push the castle's door. Locked. Luckily, she brought her equipment. First, she put down the bird and started working on the lock. Another 40 minutes, she wasted on the lock. The lock was very old for  approximately 200 years.
"Geez, this lock was difficult to crack." she whispered while wiping her sweat, the sun burned her skin.

SQUACCCK..
The bird called her.
"Not now, please."
The bird insisted her to come with it. The bird flew on her head, and pecked her hair.
"OUCH, GO AWAY, I know you really wanted to get inside so please don't bothering me, stay there and be a good bird." she shooed the bird away from her head.
The bird didn't give up. It tried to tell her something. Then, the bird pulled a long rope to her. The rope seems new but the color became one with the dirt color. No wonder, she missed it.
"What now.. Where'd you get that rope?" she realized the rope on its mouth.
The bird looks adorable with the long rope on its mouth. Now, the bird got Star's attention. Star walked along to where the rope lead to.
"Huh.. the window. Damn, I just wasted my time on that freaking lock." she slowly raised her head to see where the rope came from.
She checked how tense the rope was. Was it strong enough to pull her up?
The bird seemed annoyed by the fact she didn't even thanked it. If the bird could talk, maybe it already called her with thousand of cursed words.

She climbed the rope, once she was certain that it strong enough to pull her up. Her right hand held the rope and push her upwards. Both of her feet already stepping the bricked wall
"Hey, come on. Follow me." she stretched her left hand for the bird's stand.
The bird still mad about earlier. It stubbornly stayed on the ground. Now, she was the one who got annoyed by the bird's attitude.
"Urgh, what a dramatic bird.." she whispered while rolled her eyes and walked to where the bird stood.
She bent her back lower to get a look at the birds face. The bird turned on its back on her face, to show a gesture of its crankyness.

She started playing with its feather. It looks adorable, she started smiling while looking at it.
"Come on, birdieee.. You wanted to have fun right??" she said it playfully to the bird.
"You're stubborn, huh? Alright, I'll get up there alone." she couldn't stay longer because the sky was getting darker. She already tried to picked it up, but the bird flew away and always kept its distant from her. So, she stood up and started to climb up the rope.

The bird didn't want to be left behind, so it flew to followed her. She already half the way to the window. She got tired, and tried to stay still on the rope tp get rest for a moment. Something caught her eyes
"Holy crap, is that a frozen ship? But, it looks... half?"

               Snow was highly overwhelmed by the whole situation. Racing heartbeat, her breath was getting shorter. The whispered voices in her head started to bringing up their voice again. She couldn't take it any longer. The worker slowly turning his head to call the other worker. She couldn't getting caught and deported back to her home. Everything was so chaotic inside her head.

"ACK!!"

WHOOSH!! BURGGG!!

she couldn't hold her power anymore.
her shouts was muffled due to extreme wave of her power.

it looks beautiful from above.
it felt chaotic from the ship

the left side burned badly
the right side frozed pretty quick.

All the security who works on the ship was either frozed or burned. They could not escape. It all happened in a blink of an eye.

The burned side of the ship fell into the deep dark sea.

Then, it stopped.

Brukk.. she fainted.
All of the remaining power inside her body was released. Her dad was right, if she released all of her strength, the world would bow to her.

Krrkk..
Blue seems happy that it had found its  master. It jumped on her shoulder, trying to wake her up. Blue found a cookie.
"Dragon likes cookie huh?" she said it weakly.
Even though it had been broken in halves, the ship remained stable.

Krrkk.. purr
Blue rubbed its face to her cheek. Seems like Blue relieved to find her. She raised to hug Blue tightly.
"Please, don't run away like that again.. I'm worried."

Her tears streamed down her rosy cheeks. The sun had risen from its sleep at night. The land wasn't too far anymore. She walked proudly to the end of the front ship. Ignoring the frozen bodies that was scattered all over the ship. The castle was getting much clearer than before.

She smiled, never in her life smiled this free before. She had regained her energy again. She felt relieved now. Her departure may lead to something bad. Those extreme power released could make her spot known to her searcher.

But, seeing Blue running around made her amused. She laughed to the ground when Blue doing something funny. She played with it. She didn't felt lonely anymore. She's a freewoman now. After discovering what her power could do, nothing could stop her.
