Sudden arrival

.    .    .

"You're here as well, Summer?" Death asked me when I arrived at the training area.

It's only 4:00 in the morning and the sun hasn't come up yet. Since I woke up too early, or if two hours is considered sleeping, I just decided to come here for a training or maybe use the gym Morgana showed me the other day. I can't sleep because I keep thinking about Mama Iris and the others, plus my room hasn't been fixed and tidy yet and my bags are still on the side. I just took out some spare shirts and put it on the closet but I still haven't fixed my things yet.

I didn't want to wake the others up so I refrained from going through the door, and Alyssa must've been tired from yesterday when they had the house tour from Farron so I didn't invite here to train. A day already passed that we've been living together but the three headmasters haven't returned yet and Morgana went somewhere yesterday so the six of us, and Farron, were left the whole day.

Klea never left her room unless we call her to eat. Or when she would use the bathroom downstairs or to take a bath, since she said the bathroom in her room was being fixed by Farron. Something about the shower, or something like that.

Wayne and Alyssa was toured by Farron but they only returned to the house by afternoon for a funny reason. The three of them got separated inside the garden and it took quite some time before they found each other. Klea said she doesn't need to tour the whole area and Farron didn't forced her to. Xyrene and Gin were also invited but they came back earlier because they already saw the garden and the training area so they came back when they saw the pool and such.

The whole morning, I spent my time on the library, reading a book that Morgana suggested. It's about the history of Hera and about her magic and blessings. When I read the book about her, I suddenly had the urge to train but couldn't because Gin and Xyrene invited me to watch movies to pass time and I forgot training.

Xyrene can cook so she cooked our lunch yesterday because Farron is still missing. Good thing they found fruits inside the garden for lunch. And because the headmistress was away from the house, we just ate at the second house since there are stock of foods in there.

"Yeah. Couldn't sleep." I answered Death.

Why is he calling me Summer, and who is this Death that I'm talking to? It's Gin. Xyrene proposed something about having our own nicknames last dinner at the first house. The awkwardness between us was evident that it made Morgana and Farron laugh at us being shy at each other.

Xyrene tried to converse with Alyssa but Alyssa's too shy to answer, and Klea refused to talk to others but me, just because I have a 'fairly' bright mind. But I think Xyrene's just irritated at Wayne who keeps calling her Ms. Tomato. Another thing is that, we can't say why our nicknames are like that. It's fine by me since she told us that it's faster to get comfortable like that. Morgana approved that as well.

Long story short, we have our own nicknames now that the others would use while we're still not comfortable with each other. I thought about hanging out with them, but the urge to read got the best of me.

"I didn't sleep." He laughed as he continued stretching.

He's at one of the training area so I went to the other one and instead of stretching, I summoned Agnes who immediately appeared beside me.

She bowed before speaking. "Isn't it too early for a training, August? Shouldn't you sleep?" She asked.

I shook my head and summoned my weapon.
