Chapter 6

Ayperos

It's only been mere minutes before a floor-shaking BOOM is heard. I immediately stop my actions and quickly head to my PR door, which I fling upon and walk through.

The others seem to have done the same and we all direct our gazes to Lilith's PR, or where her PR was.

Now she just stands in the middle of a pile of splinters. My eyes widen on their own accord before I turn to look at the Headmaster to see if this was planned out or if this is really happening.

He looks as shocked as the rest of us.

I return my gaze to Lilith and watch as she brings a hand up to her neck and touches it for a second as if to confirm something before she speaks to the Headmaster.

"I have completed the challenge." She says to him, and I feel a faint shiver run down my spine at her voice. That voice...could she be some type of demon?

The Headmaster seems to snap out of his stupor and regards her with a newfound look of respect and amazement. "Yes, I can see that."

He runs a hand through his hair and sighs, before he turns to the rest of us.

"Continue with your task." He tells us, and as I turn to return to my PR, I see a look I have never witnessed before in Wolfram's eyes as he gazes at Lilith in that instant.

However, in the next second it's gone and Wolfram looks confused as he returns to his own PR.

I do the same and my PR door shuts behind me.

I feels my horns come out in a split second and feel my physical change take place. Then I hurl all my power at the room before me.

When our PR doors open next, a few hours have successfully passed by, and with no success from the rest of us in destroying our PR rooms.

We exit and see the sight of the Headmaster with a look of extreme concentration and not-so-slight irritation on his face.

He looks at Lilith accusingly. "No matter how many times I try, I cannot rebuild the room. What did you do?"

"I destroyed your barrier along with the room." She says. "You may look to the sky in the room if you do not believe me."

A look of confusion finds it's way onto the Headmaster's face and he makes his way through the pile of splinters and looks up at the sky. Curious, I follow and see that the sky directly above where the room was a different sky than the one that can be seen on the campus.

"So how do I fix it?" The Headmaster asks her, walking back into the main room. "I can't just make a new barrier, because then the two would not connect properly."

"I can show you if you wish." Lilith says, and I feel a spark go through the air as she smirks at the Headmaster.

The Headmaster looks at her quizzically.

"Do not worry, it will only take a second." Lilith says and walks towards him, lifting her hands.

Her hands come to a stop a few centimetres from both sides of his head. She looks at him expectantly.

Finally he nods at her, and her hands come to rest on his head, her fingers on his temples. A second later, I am standing in her Physical Room, like nothing ever happened to it. Her hands are gone from his head, and he looks at her with astonishment before he turns his head to look at the PR room, rebuilt from scratch. He takes a step forwards and seems to confirm something only he can see, the barrier rebuilt most likely.

"How did you do that?” Graeme asks, and an apparent look of awe can be seen on his face. “How did you know that that could work?”

The rest of us watch silently as Graeme stares at Lilith. She seems to think about his questions before she finally speaks.

“I have lots of experience with these kinds of things.” She says, and seems to be thinking back on an experience.

I’m suddenly hit with the urge to know more about her.

I wonder if I would be able to control her with my powers? I muse to myself, but suspect that it would have no effect whatsoever.

Graeme sighs and checks his pocket watch. Then he addresses us.

"It's been a very eventful day, so you may be dismissed a few minutes early." Graeme says, and we immediately switch out of our physical clothes and back into our regular clothes.

Lilith heads towards the door, and for a moment we all just watch her exit, before Joyce goes after her.

Joyce interested in something--no someone? We all stand in shock, before Wolfram is the first to recover and he scoffs before he exits. The rest of us also take our leave.
