Chapter 3
Something felt different, the world became clearer, all my senses were amplified, the world slowed, I could feel the gentle breeze from the window gliding over my hands, the faint sound of scribbling and pages turning, my eyesight became clearer easily able to see the birds flying outside . I could feel a new faint new sensation, the some of the examiners emitted this faint feeling, while the golem and the large man was emitted an almost overwhelming amount of this feeling .
The orb began to faintly glow different colors randomly switching between blue, white, green red and grey . My vision went black, "I can't believe you told them! I trusted you!" a familiar voice screamed, as the source of the voice gradually appeared, it was apparent my mind began dredging up a memory I wish I could forget, and I instantaneously forced myself back to conciseness . I slowly regained my vision the orb glowing was now glowing with an almost blinding intensity the orb became almost too hot to maintain my hold, before slowly dimming and cooling down .
"Thank you Miss Patel, your examination is over, please exit the way you came in" Said the old man with a smile on his face .
"Umm if you don't mind could you explain what exactly is happening?" I hesitantly questioned .
The old man opened a large old book, "well let's see" replied the old man, turning the pages quickly, "Ah there you are, so you're Emilia from the Consecratus . I'll send a student of mine to better explain what is going on in a way you might understand" he smiled and gestured to exit the way I came .
"Umm thank you, I guess this is good bye then . " I waved and turned to exit the room, unsurprisingly but still a little shocking the door now lead to an extremely large banquet hall filled with several hundred people all dressed in different types of attire and colors, confidently I walked through .
Closing the door behind me and releasing the door handle, the door faded away leaving a solid stone wall behind me . No one seemed phased by what just happened, either they were too engrossed in conversation or vanishing doors were an everyday occurrence . The room was illuminated with chandeliers and torches along the wall, piano music could be faintly heard in the background but with no direction from where the music was coming from, several large banquet tables filled the central parts of the hall, all filled with what I assume are varieties of foods and many Empty goblets .
Walking around the banqueting hall was bursting with excitement and happiness, totally opposite to how I feel . Why am I the only one who feels lost among the hundreds of people? I felt like I was back in school again, I never found it easy to talk to people and make friends . Feeling completely lost I decided to look for the first seat free, my nerves got the better of me, I became a hermit shutting myself off from my surrounding,
I began wondering if I'll ever get to see my friends and family again, I didn't even get to say goodbye, they are probably going crazy with my disappearance, the more I thought about it the more upset I became, the piano music also changed along with my mood . Tears began to fall down my cheek, I sat quietly sobbing into my arms . All I could think was my parents panicking and there is no way I can reassure them that I am alive .
"Are you okay?" a female voice asked beside me .
"Yes everything's okay . " I replied sitting up and wiping away the tears from my face with my sleeves .
"Nice to meet you I'm Caroline!" she smiled
"Emilia" I replied .
"Let's start with getting you a drink and let's talk about what's got you down okay?" the female voice offered .
She grabbed two empty goblets handing one to me and keeping the other .
Looking at the empty goblet "so where do I go to get something to drink?" I asked
Caroline face looked a bit confused as if she's never been asked such a question, "well you just hold the cup think of whatever water you want and it will fill up . "
Following Caroline's instruction I thought of apple juice, the cup slowly began filling up with a yellow transparent liquid, I hesitantly took a sip, somehow the goblet manged to fill itself with apple juice . I then thought of grape juice, the liquid turned from a transparent yellow to a transparent purple . This is something I could get used to thinking to myself .
"So what got you feeling so down not long ago?" Caroline questioned
I smiled at her, "just the thought of missing my family and friends and them missing me . " I replied .
"Yeah sadly that's the down side of being chosen I guess . " Caroline signed taking a gulp from her goblet .
"How do your parents feel about it?" I questioned with intrigue .
"Well the village I'm from it is considered a great honor to be chosen, so no doubt my family will be throwing some sort of party . " She smiled with a hint of sadness in her eyes .
"I know what something that will help both of us!" I smiled grabbing both goblets and thought of Pinot Noir, as the goblets filled with the red wine, I handed one back to Caroline, "try this . " I smiled . Caroline full of trust drank without hesitation .
