silver pedestals with mossy green orbs carved into
them. They each touched their individual orbs. A dark blue portal
appeared in front of each of them. They both lead their groups into
the portals.
Chapter 9 the first Syiric
appearance
My group appeared in their dorm. We all sat
down as raindrops hit against the windows. A yellow orb threw
itself against the window. I opened and it flew inside as it
materialized into Pedro.
“Why’d you come, Pedro?” I said.
“To tell you to not fear the storms or the orbs
that come with them. For, the orbs are only the School
Guardians.”
“How many Guardians are there? I
said.
“ Seven.” Pedro said.
“Anything else?” I said.
“Curfew is at 10pm and the room with a black
dragon statue is forbidden.” Pedro said.
“I understand.” I said.
Pedro turned back into an orb of light. He flew
out the window. I closed the window. Lightning hit the orb and
Pedro materialized back into himself as he fell to the ground. I
opened the window.
I crawled out into the storm. I closed the
window behind me. I touched Pedro as he opened his eyes. Raindrops
fell on top of me as Pedro looked at me.
“Thanks for saving my life, Skyrid. If there’s
anything I can do to repay you, just name it.”
Two Syirics appeared. They were basically
rattlesnakes with wings. They blew fire as the rain turned it into
smoke.
“Save me from these creatures from Rakif.” I
said. Pedro stood up. He clapped. Lightning streamed out of his
hands and hit the Syirics as they caught fire. They shrieked as the
fire was quenched by the rain.
Pedro clapped again. The Syirics froze in
midair as they shattered to pieces. I became drenched by the rain
and a green orb appeared. It materialized into Natasha. Natasha
grabbed our hands as a gray portal appeared.
We all walked into it. We appeared back in my
dorm.
“Everyone, this is Natasha. She’s one of the
seven guardians of this School.” Pedro said.
A green portal appeared as Natasha and Pedro
walked into it. It disappeared. We all gathered around the
fireplace. On top of it was a pedestal with a red orb carved into
it.
Jaren looked at me.
“I reckon’ we should start telling
our stories about our Malfunctions. I’ll go
first. It was in the middle of the summer
in the year 2048; I was swimming at a local pool, then all of a
sudden the water started getting hotter. Then an alarm blared and I
got out of the water, I turned the palms of my hands to face the
top of the water and, a beam of light was shot out of each hand.
After all of that had happened, I fell down onto the ground as if I
was knocked unconscious. All I remember was the face of the
lifeguard; he was putting his mouth to my mouth and, breathing into
it. At a later time, I started to respond and I woke up not knowing
what had just happened.
The Lifeguard told me that he had
been watching the entire time and he had saw with his very eyes
that I had shot light beams at the water. He said that he had seen
me fall down and had gone down the elevator that was attached to
his chair and started to do CPR on me. And he also said that after
five tries, he finally got me to come to. Then he told me that his
name was Ben Walters. And I told him that my name was Jaren James.
I thanked him for saving my life and he said that he was just doing
his job. ”
Parser looked at Jaren.
“I believe you. You had a possession though.
Not a malfunction. Your powers tried to possess you.” he
said.
“Yeah, I know. I’m still survived it because
Ben saved my life.” Jaren said.
“I’ll tell my story next. It was the middle of the summer of 2049. I was
eleven years old. I was riding my hand glider. Burning the metal, I
let go and I landed head first on the ground. My dad must have
heard the crash, because as soon as I hit the ground he ran right
to the place that I crashed.
I crashed in the middle of our
