Isaros

Chapter 8

Isaros District, also known as Carah District, is home to the capital city of Izanami, Carah. Unlike modern cities on Earth, Carah is a Medieval style place, being built up by stone and wood. There are two castles in the City, the largest belonging to the Royal family, and the other, being Carah Academy.

It's been a month since our first year had begun at Carah Academy. The school is massive, but surprisingly, the classrooms are small and made of wood. A week ago, two new students had joined our class. Rumour has it that the siblings had joined with no money or skill. I sighed as I finished washing my face, looking at myself in the mirror, feeling the cool water drip off my chin. I reached my hand up to my head, feeling the soft skin where hair should be. A sharp feeling of grief flooded through me as I activated my Ability, shrouding my scalp in water before grabbing my satchel and leaving the house.

The walk to school was short and I was soon at my class' roll call room. I opened the door and entered the quiet room, seeing Fly writing something in his notepad. The telepath seemed to sense my presence and looked up straight away, smiling.
"Hey class rep!" He chirped, closing his book and putting it back in his bag. I sighed.
"Just call me Kazashi, I know I'm class rep and everything, but you don't have to call me that," I forced a smile on my face as I took my seat by the front of the classroom. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you here early?" He glanced at me, his expression falling.
"I came to see Finny's grave," he stated. I was confused.
"Finny...?"
"Yeah. I named my burger Finny, and Kowai killed him!" He stood up, hand to his chest. "I will be getting revenge for Finny today so Kowai better watch out!" I stared at him dumbfounded as his brown eyes began to water and his lips trembled slightly. Is he still crying over that stupid burger?

The bell had rung and everyone was packing their bags to go to lunch. I heard Kazashi sigh and I glanced at her quizzically before hearing a clatter at the front of the room. Fly had clambered onto his desk and now pointing at Kowai. "This is revenge for killing Finny!" He yelled. I heard something shift beside me, seeing Tyler, his usually, hazel eyes, glowing red. Barely audible, he mumbled something along the lines of 'decrease luck, 45%,' before turning to me, smiling sadistically.
"Just watch, let's see what happens, Okotta!" His eyes soon shifted back to their original colour as I looked back towards Fly. He took a deep breath, as if he was about to start singing something, but instead, he slipped and fell of the table. Tyler looked satisfied and stepped forward, picking Fly up to drag him out of class. The classroom was dead quiet, too shocked to laugh as they disappeared out of the doors, being followed by the tiny Skye.
"What... the...?" Kairu was standing there and like the rest of the class, he was shocked. "Who is Finny..?" Kazashi giggled slightly but soon stiffened as all eyes turned to her. Her pale cheeks reddened slightly as she smiled.
"Finny is the burger that Kowai face planted in a week ago," she answered. From the corner of my eye, I saw Kowai twitch.
"He named his burger?" One girl asked, her slightly pointed ears twitching as her lilac eyes shined humorously.
"Isn't it obvious, Otori?" One of Otori's friends replied as they left the classroom, a small piece of paper fluttering towards the ground. By that time, most of the class was gone, only myself, Kaza and Kowai was left so I picked up the paper, finding in bold, red letters, the words:

FLY'S LOVE ADVICE
MEET ME IN THE WEST GARDENS FOR ADVICE, FOR FREE!

"People are buying this?" Kowai asked boredly next to me, peering over my shoulder to read the advertisement.
"Well, Yeah, it IS free," Kazashi stated, a smirk appearing on her lips. "Maybe you could ask him about Tyler?"

The bell had rung, signalling the end of lunch time. I stood up from our table, grabbing my bag in the process. I looked towards Fly, who was mumbling to himself in anger and embarrassment. I couldn't make out what he was saying but I knew he was muttering about what happened this morning. Only if he had green hair. "Fly," I called, causing him to snap his head in my direction, his brown eyes blazing. "The bell rung. We have History now," his gaze softened as he nodded, standing up to grab his bag. Once again, Tyler was far ahead of us, not wanting to be late. From past experience, our teacher liked starting class exactly five minutes after the bell. Students who aren't in their seats by the time he arrived, would get a detention. We sprinted to class, up three flights of stairs and took our seats, ten seconds before his figure shimmered into the room. Class was going well, as usual until the door flew open, and a six foot giant ran into the room. His light green eyes scanned the room before falling on me. He stormed over and even though he was loud, something told me he was exhausted. "Skye," he sighed, eyes not leaving me. "I need donuts,"
"Alright, but you better pay me back," I pulled out a 5 pik note from my pocket and handed it to him. His smile grew as his features melted into a black puddle, zipping through the shadows, away from the school. The class was quiet, as expected. Not even the teacher was saying anything. I looked around seeing everyone staring at me, except for Tyler, who was trying his best not to laugh. It is obvious that everyone knows Lieko, as a well known criminal, his face is plastered everywhere.
