Chapter 135: 135
\"I'm pretty sure that's her . \" Jay said quickly pointing out a golden glow radiating out from a crowd .





\"Let's make it quick . . . . \" I replied noticing there was quite the crow around her .

\"Daisy! We've been ordered to meet up with the rest of the class . \" Jay quickly instructed Daisy convoying the urgency turning her around as we arrived .

\"We are? . . . . . What happened? . . \" She asked looking shocked .

\"No idea . . . . but Sven caught us slacking off so we need to head back to the refugee camp . \" Jay informed her .

\"Really? . . How the hell . . . \" she said seemingly to power down her radiating aura slowly fading it to nothing . \"Sorry everyone . . . . but I need to go now . . . . . Please everyone try your hardest and rest well . \" she smiled thanking and shaking hands of what seemed to be other followers of Serra .

\"We need to hurry . . . or we're gonna be stuck in detention for a week . \" I said trying to get her to hurry up .

\"OHHH crap . . . I've never been in trouble before!!\" She moaned quickly picking up the pace . Without looking back or a second thought we quickly followed her out towards the entrance .

\"Ohh you guys made it . \" Sven smiled greeting us . \"Everyone okay? . . \" He questioned looking at all of us .

\"We're good . . . . \" We answered .

\"I'm so sorry!!!!!!! I was helping people who were in need . . . . . I didn't mean to break the rules!!\" Daisy instantly confessed as if she's never been caught breaking the rules before .

\"Ummm yes . . . you're in big trouble . . . . . I'm afraid you're gonna be in detention for a week . \" he firmly said leading the way for our group .

Daisy fell silent like a guilty criminal, looking down in shame following us out the front door . \"Don't be so hard on yourself . \" Jay replied trying to cheer her up .

\"I knew I should have left with you guys . . . . . \" she mumbled to herself .

\"Stop!!\" The lead guard stopped us as we began exiting the building .





\"Anything we can help you with sir?\" Sven asked courteously .

\"Just wanted to ask a few questions . \" He smiled in return with that same slither of wickedness in his smile .

\"Sure . . . . ask away . \" Sven smiled .

\"Umm if you don't mind could we ask some questions in private? . . . . \" He asked Sven politely .

\"I'm sorry I can't let that happen? . . \" He smiled totally unfazed by the guard .

\"You know I was hoping you'd say that . . . . \" The guard instantly smiled his true colours came flooding out .

\"I thought you would have . \" Sven smiled . . . and without warning all the guards were forced together and almost instantly after two fell lifeless slumping on the floor bleeding from the head .

\"What the fuck!!!\" The remaining two shouted out before being silenced their necks making a hideous twisting noise as his neck and head turned in an unnatural way silencing them both with a resounding series of cracks .

Instantaneously four more guards showed up walking to the silenced bodies looking near identical to the ones lying on the floor .


\"Don't worry Sven we'll take care of the bodies . \" The new lead guard smiled giving us a wink .

\"Ohhh don't forget their ceremonial daggers . \" Sven smiled and nodded .

\"What the hell just happened? . . . \" I asked in shock barely being able to come to terms with what happened .

\"Don't worry they are Atlantis students, thanks to your intel we're now able to take steps in preventing in whatever they have planned . \" He smiled .





\"What's gonna happen now?\" Helen asked as we quickly rushed our way to the refugee camps .

\"The Deputy Head Mistress wants a head count then you'll be take back safely to Atlantis . So let's make haste . \" Sven explained hastening the pace back through the city .

\"What's going on? . . \" Daisy asked still in the dark .

\"Those guards were Dark Elves . . . . we have reason to believe they have already infiltrated the city . . . . . Everyone is considered hostile . . . . even high ranked officials . \" Sven answered .

\"So we're evacuating? . . \" I asked concerned for the refugees .

\"We've received a message for all non-first years . . . . to locate and gather all freshman . \" Sven added .

\"How did she know? . . . \" Grace asked .

\"I sent a message through my strings . \" He answered with a proud smile .

\"When? . . . How? . . . Grace questioned deeper .

\"Via a language we designed through the tapping of my strings . \" He smiled .

\"Wow your strings are way more useful than I expected . \" Jay confessed causing Sven to chuckle .

\"Why thank you . . . . I aim to please . \" He smiled bowing his heads .

\"Is that how you manged to locate us so easily? . . . . . and Daisy and Helen inside the building? . . \" I asked .

\"Yes . . . I hope you all didn't mind but when we first met . . . . I did attach strings to you all . . . just for safe keeping sake . . . \" He apologized .





\"All of us? . . When . . . \" I asked checking myself for the string .

\"Can't feel it? . . \" He smiled .

\"No I feel nothing . . . . . \" I replied causing everyone else to check themselves .

\"The one's I've attached to you all are currently only one strand thick . . . . . . it's almost impossible to feel them unless I want you to . \" He smiled twitching a finger causing his mechanisms to move .

\"Ohh my god I felt a slight tug . \" Helen and Grace said after waiting a few seconds .

\"I don't feel anything . . . . \" I replied waiting a little longer .

\"Wow impressive being able to feel the slightest of tugs on your clothing . \" He replied to Daisy and Helen .

\"So who and what killed the guards? . . \" Grace asked curiously for some reason the heightened Elven senses didn't even see much .

\"It was a joint effort between me and another student of Atlantis . . . I pulled them together with strings I already placed around them the first time we passed them . . . . . But this time it was around hundreds of threads thick . . . . and the other was a shot from S-Ranked student Travis . . . . No doubt he's camped up somewhere as over watch . \" Sven answered .

\"No way . . . . . \" Grace gasped in shock looking around the city for high locations .

\"But I didn't hear him shoot . \" I objected in disbelief .

\"It's part of his specialty . . . . training in hiding his presence and taking out or subduing targets from extreme range . \" Sven answered .

\"How about the safety of the refugees? . . . \" I asked .

\"What about them? . . \" Sven asked .

\"We need to keep them safe . . . . \" I insisted .

\"Well . . . I'm not sure what Atlantis is getting paid for . . . . \" Sven answered .

\"So I assume it's not good . \" Jay answered .

\"Sadly to the rich elite . . . . . Refugees are considered like roaches and rats to the city . \" Sven answered accepting the grim truth .

\"We can let that happen!\" I argued .

\"It's out of our hands Emilia . \" Sven replied .

\"Whys that? . . . . . We can do something if we wanted to!\" I argued .

\"Because life isn't that easy . . . . we can't be seen giving free handouts . . . . otherwise we'll lose sponsors and funding . Then who will pay for all the Atlantis's expenses… . . \" Sven informed me .

\"Why are we given these gifts if we can't use them to save people the in need? . . . \" I argued .

\"It's the way the world works . . . . good will and nature can only get you so far . . . \" Sven explained .

\"I'm sorry but I can't just sit by and let the innocent and defenceless get left out for the slaughter for some stupid politics or money, lives are more important . \" I argued making a stand .

\"You remind me a lot of the House Head . . . . besides I did say 'Seen' . . . . . \" He smiled . \"He gets in a lot of trouble doing the good things going against teachers . . . . . Stupid idealist . . . . . But at least someone is doing the tough job making the hard choices . \" He sighed but I can tell by the way he spoke about him . . . . . He deeply admired him .

As we made our way through the town . . . . . Suddenly my nervous feeling disappeared . . . replaced with a feeling that everything will turn out just fine . . . . . . . . Is that you Paul? . . . . Have you come to help? . . . . .
