Reborn as a Snake! (2.) [COMPLETED]

(76). - Back to Teaching.

    Later. . .
       Late at Night. . .

       Deep inside the academys walls — far, far below the ground, a small, dark cave with not a single sign of light was present. The cave had no entrances, no exits and was overall just like a normal cave, with the only and major difference being that in the middle of it, there was a lone throne — a large one at that.

The throne was rather large, almost filling the entire middle section of the cave, while it's material was entirely just black and white crystal, with a deep grey coloured stone like mineral splitting it in the middle. On the throne itself — was a single, dark figure — masked by the almost pitch black darkness around it. The figure appeared to be resting, with its head leaned down onto its right arm, which was propped up onto the right armrest of the throne.

The figure also expressed a faint, dark grey aura from its body — the aura lightly fading into the air around it, fading away as soon as it got far enough away from it, before re-emerging back at the figures body, almost immediately afterwards.

There was an uneasy and suffocating silence in the cave as well — with not even the usual sound of water drops breaking the eerie vibe of the place. Finally — the one thing that expressed a faint light inside the cave, was a massive circular symbol on the ceiling of the cave - the symbol looking like some sort of letter or something.

The figure eventually sighed, letting out its faint and heavy breath, before looking slightly towards the ceiling.

<Rentrituar>;
"....It appears that Ovonama has fallen as well...."

The figure stated to itself, sharpening down its faintly glowing, light grey eyes. Afterwards, the figure slowly lowered its head back down to the ground of the cave.

<Rentrituar>;
"...That leaves me and Naumava as the last of the so called 'myths' within the academy.... I suppose that human Weaver of Fate was right — our fates were sealed the minute we stepped foot in the lands of Yiinao..."

Rentrituar stated, before sighing heavily. After that his small sour expression warped into a slightly maniacal smile, before he let lose a light laughter and then turned his head back — leaning it against the back of his throne and staring straight up at the circular symbol above.

<Rentrituar>;
".....Or maybe... I will have been able to defy my so called 'fate'.... After all..."

He got up from his throne, before lifting his right arm above himself — extending it out towards the circular symbol on the ceiling, before his eyes narrowed onto it.

<Rentrituar>;
"....The seal... it grows weak."

Rentrituar mumbled to himself lightly, before letting lose a light chuckle which echoed through the empty cave, with the faint glow that the circular symbol on the ceiling emitted growing slightly more fainter.

     The Following Morning. . .

        My day started off very early — like genuinely around 6:40 or something in the morning. Why did I need to wake up so early? — simple. I had to sort out some documents that the Headmaster had assigned to me - and since I had quite a lot of classes to teach today, I wanted to make sure I had sorted out those documents as early as possible so I had less work to do in the evening.

Call it... Working smarter — not harder if you will.

Anyways, I was walking through the halls of the first floor in the academy — the document folder I needed to sort in my right hand and the rising sun shining lightly through the windows of the halls. It was honestly pretty quiet and relaxing at this time, which I suppose was to be expected since the student lessons only start at around 8:30 or so, which is around two hours away.
