Cleo
This week is too exhausting, after taking a unforgiving archery training here I am at my special class training to improve my abilities hays.
Our combat class will also start next week, and here I am sulking and regretting every decision I made. How could I be able to accomplish my deal to that boastful Prince if I have so many training all at once! Plus the history and bundle of spells and potion I need to memorize for the upcoming semester practical exam. Arg! I just might as well be dead
Asylum has no written exams unlike the mortal schools. They prefer everything practical and be shown, in that way they could really see how their students improve.
One thing I like about this school is that they just held a practical exam once in a year. And that exam always happen at the end of a semester before the winter break. After that it is all about training in preparation for the annual tournament. That makes me curios though of what kind of tournament Asylum held every year.
"Miss Cleo! You are too distracted to enter the meditate state. I now all of you are pressured because of the upcoming semester practical exams. But you can't bring that on this class not when this class need clear and focus mind not a distracted and problematic mind. Understood?" Sir Marcelo lectured us especially me. Since that incident Sir Marcelo always monitored my progress and he seems more strict to me and the development of my trainings than the other students on my class. Or I am just being paranoid?
"Are you okay Cleo? I also noticed you being distracted this past few days. Problem?" Vixen said, she is just righ beside me. Vixen is now the top student in my special class. I don't why but it seems she is really good at everything that sometimes I almost forgot that she is just like me from mortal world. Even handling weapons, she is too good to be for a beginner or maybe she is just gifted with talents and here I am deprived from everything.
We are all sitting crossed leg on the floor to meditate, for us to enter the inner most of our selves. We always do this at the start of our class, Sir Marcelo said this is important to helps us control our emotions and abilities more easily. To pull the energy that resides within ourselves to the real world.
Besides he also said that mind users like us always needs to constantly clear and train our mind. For it to become strong and indestructible, for our to not easily be penetrated. For a mind users, our mind is our power, the more strong it is the stronger our powers. We just need to learn how to bend it to our wills.
I force a smile "yes I'm okay don't mind me, maybe just tired of trainings" she looked at me for a second assessing me then nob.
"Okay class enough talking, Start clearing your mind away from your thoughts and problems and everything on this world. Calm yourself, relax and guide your way to your inner most self" Said sir Marcelo calmly as if a music luring as to sleep.
*****
I found myself again standing at the middle of the dome room full of floating crystal balls. I'm quite use to this scene everytime I enter my inner mind. Maybe I just need to learn to accept that all of this is now part of who I am, though there is still too many mysterious things about myself that I need to unfold.
Even this dome is a big mystery to myself especially this floating balls. Sometimes I even start guising what this crystal balls really is. Maybe a piece of memory? Someone else mind? Even maybe their dreams or worst nightmares.
I did not talk about this dome to anyone. Though I really want to tell this to sir Marcelo but I just feel like I need to solve this by myself not just relying to others just like I always do since the beginning I got here.
I need to trust myself more for me to improve and prove to everyone that I am worthy to be accepted here. I tried about searching this to the school library but until now I still can't find anything valuable and worth to be notice.
There is a restricted section inside the library that really piqued my interest but, a big downfall is that it is always locked though sometimes I notice a key hanging on the waist of the librarian and not even once did she take it off.
Maybe one of this days I will find a ways to get it and lead my way to the restricted zone.
I just walk to the corner of the room where a white door with a very intricate rose carvings is located and walk my way to the other side.
I already visited this door and a very familiar place greeted me. My sanctuary, my very own world. I thought when the shadow emerges that this place is gone forever and I was too happy too found it here still in once peace.
I take a deep breath inhaling the fresh air, My sanctuary is simply a wide landscape on the hillside. It if full of colorful flowers and the very green grass. It is surrounded by cherry blossom trees and on my front is three overlapping hills still full of flowers after a small river glistening like a crystal under the light of the warm sun.
The sky is clear blue but sometimes with a clouds passing in a form of different things. My sanctuary is just too peaceful that I can do my trainings in here easily.
I walk to the top of the hill and summoning my energy and a familiar golden sand bid to my will like an obedient child to his/her mother.
I just continue the summoning and pull the energy out into the real world. I slowly open my eyes and I feel like it is glowing.
I look infront to see Sir Marcelo standing observing us. He turned his attention to me and look at my eyes curiously. My golden sand energy is not visible to the real world, well every energy is not really visible to the eye when it is summon except to its wielder.
Suddenly I see my golden sand energy reaching out to sir Marcelo and it sink in into his head. My eyes widened by what just happened, the moment the golden sand entered him, Sir Marcelo just give a small gasp before completely staying still.
Nobody notice it except me, all of them is just too busy concentrating and meditating to pay attention on what was happening around them.
Sir Marcelo stood still for a minute now, eyes wide open without even blinking. He resembles a body without a soul and I am starting to panic now.
"Sir? Sir?" I call him quietly to not disturb the other students, but he just look at me emotionless.
"The hell, Sir could you just even blink or just even shake? I am starting worry here now" I muttered frustratingly and to my surprise he did what I just said.
He blink continually while shaking his body, he resemble now more of a puppet than a person. I can't believe what I am seeing right now, what is happening?
"Sir stop doing that! I told you to blink and shake your body like a normal person not like a robot" and he stop the moment I told him to stop.
"Cleo? What did you do to Sir Marcelo?" I turn my head to Vixen wide eyed. She is awake now and she is looking at me accusingly because of what she is seeing. And she is more surprised the moment she sees my eyes.
