I feel like I couldn't handle this anymore.

I really felt like wanting to curl up in my bed and sleep for one whole day without interruptions. Yet again, my happiness is being ripped away from me by that man.

'So, how many are there, exactly?' Freya asked.

'There really are eight left. Lunox told me, remember?' Harith said. 'We may think that they tricked us, but I don't think Lunox would say the same thing.'

'Right. Then, what about the creatures that chased Gusion? It doesn't make sense.' Harley said.

'That's what we need to find out.' Lesley said.

'Kaja, do you know that Alice and Vexana are on the loose?' Fanny asked.

'Yes, I do. I think they broke out with the help of their acquaintances.'

'We need to secure the crystal.' Saber said. 'They can't do anything without it.'

'Do they know I'm alive?' I asked.

'I don't think so.' Claude said. 'Maybe, we can use it as our advantage.'

'What do you mean?' Kaja asked.

'Um, I died when we were battling them.'

There was a deadly silence as he digested this bit of information.

Kaja's eyes grew wide. 'The Goddess blessed you.'

I looked at him, surprised. 'Yes.'

'Oh no.' Kaja said.

'Why "oh no"? Isn't a blessing a good thing?' Alucard asked.

'It's the prophecy.'

'What prophecy?' Gwen asked, a little bit on edge.

'What does it say?' Miya asked.

Kaja said-

'A blessing by a Goddess is bestowed,
To the one that wields the key for disaster.
A hero rises from the dead,
Carrying the answer to everyone's fate.'

Harith gasped. 'The Holy Blade prophecy.'

Kaja nodded.

'Holy Blade? Is that the name for my dagger or my magic?' I asked.

'Neither, my boy. You are the Holy Blade.'

My head was spinning. I was beginning to think that the universe hates me. Lesley put a hand on my shoulder to comfort me.

'I think you should rest for the day.' Kaja suggested. 'Go to your dorms, I will take care of your safety.'

'What happened to Ms. Natalia?' Martis asked.

Kaja didn't look very happy. 'I don't know. She didn't make it back.'

We looked at each other. This isn't good. She has the crystal.

'We have to find her!' Selena said.

'I know, my dear. I've sent people out to look for her. I'm trying my best.'

Suddenly, I sympathised Kaja. He's been doing so much for us and this school. He looks tired, as if he haven't had a good night sleep for days.

'You should head back. Have a good rest.'
