Love or Loyalty (Errink)

Guilt

Narrator's POV-
"THAT IDIOTIC OCTOPUS." Dream screamed, storming into the dorm and slamming the door in Ink, Error and Blue's faces.

"Dream-!" Ink tried, sliding back against the door.

"He's probably just embarrassed about Nightmare," Error said, rubbing him on the back. "He'll get over it."

"Nothing a taco can't fix!" Blue reminded everyone, pushing open the door.

They found Dream stranded on the floor, angry tears streaming down his cheeks. His jacket had been thrown aside, and lay crumpled on the floor. Dream fled into the bathroom and locked the door.

"What if someone needs to go?" Blueberry said, biting his lip.

"Oof." Error shrugged, sitting down on his bed with a book.

"Dream! Come out of there! We only came here so Blueberry could go to the bathroom! We need to be at our Tower Meeting now!" Ink said, banging on the door.

With the word of being late, Dream wiped his eyes and got out, nearly tackled by a busting Blue. Error sighed and closed his book. The four walked out and headed to the library.

What they saw was a shock.

The whole of the other dorm was present except,
Nightmare wasn't there.

Error's POV-
This was Error's first look at the library... and he loved it. There were about fifty bookshelves, piled with all sorts of magic and facts. His fingers were itching to hold one and dive in, but Error restrained himself and took a seat on one of the plush armchairs next to Ink.

"Good afternoon, friends." Professor Hue greeted them. "Welcome to the Academy. We welcome you warmly and hope that you find a home here. Today we will be addressing your time tables and other basic information that you'll need to know."

"Firstly, the timetable. Today you only have one lesson at 3pm which is Power Training. This lesson is held by Sir Hate, and will last for one hour until Snack, at 4pm. In this time, you will be brought outside to make conversation and enjoy the nature."

"For other days, the norm is that you'll have breakfast at 8am, followed by Music at 9am, then Art at 10pm, and before lunch, Attacking and Defending. Then lunch at 12pm, followed by Caring for Animals at 2pm. Then Power Training at 3, Snack at 4pm. After that, Aura Summoning at 5pm. Dinner at 6pm... Then a short break until 8pm, when Astronomy is held. This is your timetable for every day except Saturday and Sunday, where you have the complete day off."

"Golly that's a lot." Cross remarked.

"I heard what happened to Nightmare..." Hue said solemnly. "It's not a great start for the Blaze Tower, but we can build from it. The Academy hosts a Star-Tournament every year, a tournament is held. It splits and mixes dorms up into teams of four. A fight is held between old teams and requires you to use all of your skills built from lessons. Every year, Stark Tower's side has won. We can't let this happen again!"

Professor Hue had a small tired, desiring look in his eyes. "Yes, Professor." Ink said, smiling shyly.

"Very well. That's all. Please enjoy your time here and make the most of it, students. Be ready to attend your Power Training class at 3pm, and Snack at 4. Then you have a break until dinner at 6pm. Thank you."

I left with my group and we decided to go outside in the gardens for a while. They were to the left and straight ahead, so it was probably something that we would do very often.

I found a nice, grand big oak tree to rest under. It had been a big day, and was only to get bigger. I saw Ink come and sit next to me with and started sketching out a flower that was in front of him.
