NETYISHA'S POINT OF VIEW.
This impromptu meeting is a golden avenue.
Hopefully I will make a headway in discovering my attacker since all Reverreds are gathered here together,
-I can't seem to spot the low rank Reverred who was used to attack me-
I look around the hall full of Reverreds, carefully observing everyone,
-Nobody seems suspicious, everybody minding their business-,
I frown to myself ,it seems as though my task is going to be entirely futile.
-There's absolutely no way of me locating my assailant in an engagement such as this-,
Waer walks up to me yawning;
"Hey…what do you reckon they suddenly called all of us back for?" she asks sleepily while staring into my eyes,
I look over Waer;
-Could she be a suspect?-,
I know just how powerful Waer truly is, despite her nearly eternal sleepiness
- But why would she even?-
"Hey…Rev Netyisha?, Hello…wake up"
She interjects into my thoughts gently tapping my face,
I shrug;
"No idea…Waer",
She nods "Yeah…I suppose there's no way you could know either…even despite you spending so much time with the Most Reverred 2…" she undertones in an almost
-Jealous voice-
I stare at her in surprise;
"I only led her to her Chambers and yet rumours of us being close have already spread?"
I ask warily,
Waer shrugs, feigning oblivion,
"Well…it's not like I would know, I never join in their gossips…" she stutters
-I know for a fact that she is partly lying-
"You wouldn't ever join them in their gossips, yes, but you eavesdrop don't you?" I smirk,
She instantly breaks under the slight pressure;
"Okay, fine…yes, I did overhear some people saying you literally snatched the most Reverred 2 for yourself" she speaks in a low and guilty voice,
"Who exactly was pushing this narrative?" I prod,
She muses to herself;
"I think it was between Silvana, and Ruii…" she pauses, and I lock in toughtfulness,
"Oh…yes, I think Mayter was among" she adds,
-It clicks; Mayter is a Light Core who specializes in Weather works, specifically in Cloud and Vapour techniques, she's infact the most proficient in Vapour manipulation, second only to Waer; that low rank Reverred suddenly evaporated; she could be...-,
I turn sharply to a corner of the hall, in obedience to my intuition, only to meet Mayter staring at me conspicuously, she instantly looks away,
-I smile to myself-
NETYISHA'S POV END.
THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
"What was the Most Reverred Hostess's reaction when you told her of the plan anyway?"
He asks while running his hands over the books neatly arranged on my favorite shelf,
"Left out…she felt left out…but I didn't tell her, her spies around grabbed the gist…"
I am greatly invested in my reading.
"So…how would you know her reaction?" he asks turning to me,
"It's inevitable…she's bound to react that way…and that's the very reason that she's conducting an impromptu meeting between the Reverreds at this very moment"
I respond calmly as I flip the page.
"And how would you know that?" he prods,
"Because you wouldn't be here questioning me if you didn't hear of a Reverred meeting which you obviously assumed was her reaction to my informing her of our plans"
He looks at me.
-He is defeated-,
"Just what exactly are you Upper Mage?" he asks in a trembling voice,
I chuckle;
"I'm just a Mage in a hood Zael"
THE HOODED ONE'S POV END.
CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.
"Camada…hey Camada wake up!"
Someone desperately tries to wake me up with steady taps.
I slowly open my eyes.
Taki is staring at my face,
"Oh thank goodness" she mutters in relief.
"Hey…what was that?... what did you do back there?"
Yal asks unbelievably as I sit up
-I am utterly confused and my head aches-;
"What are you talking about?",
Taki taps my forehead;
"You mean you don't remember?... just as the beast was about to devour you, some ray of light shone and just like that…the beast fell dead"
-I have no recollection of that whatsoever-
I shrug ;
"No…I don't"
"SHOCKER" Yal peeves,
I look across to where Sesugh sits quietly looking at me in awe,
-What just happened?, I'm certain I was having a horrible dream of the life of a girl called Dooter; Dooter-
"Anyway…who's up for resting here…apparently the sky is darkening so it's nearly nighttime?" Taki suggests,
-We unanimously agree-
"I'm starving…" Yal grumbles as he drops on the floor in exhaustion.
He turns to me;
"Hey…you probably don't realize it yet…but you saved our lives today…and that power?, you're obviously the most powerful among us…for now"
His tone is factual,
I am excited.
-Did he just mention something about being the most powerful?-
"But…like I said…it's just for now, those who start on top don't always go through with it because of overconfidence"
Yal locks eyes with me.
I smile;
"And what makes you think I'm overconfident?, I can barely understand what's going on"
Yal regards me carefully before smirking;
"Regardless…my presence here will make it impossible for you to make it on top anyway" he states tauntingly,
I laugh;
"I thought overconfidence is a major killer of potential",
He stares at me blankly;
"Using my own words against me…maybe I should take you seriously…", I stand up from the grass and stretch
"Do what you want…"
