Arcanum - Chapter 92

Chapter 92






"Hey guys . . . . I wonder what house Morgana was placed in . . . . . " I asked everyone as we made our way back to the dorms after dinner .

"Hey Ben wanna join us ?? . . . We generally just chill out a Graces and Helen's room . " Jay offered .

"Ummm lemme try and catch up with my friends . . . maybe I can join you after?? . . . " Ben asked .

"Sure I'll come with you . . . . then o can show you to Grace and Helen's room . " Jay said walking off with ben . "I'll meet up with you guys later!" Ben yelled go us .

"Why is he so obsessed with having another guys in the group . . . . . " Grace sighed .

"It's a guy thing . . . . . I guess . . . . " I replied .

"Ohhh I think Morgana was placed in House Kraken . " Helen said answering my earlier question .

"Hey . . . . you guys were talking about me? . . . " Morgana eerie voice asked from behind us causing us all to jump in shock .

"Hey Morgana . " I said with nervous smile .

"Hey . . . . . " she said joining us but stayed silent uninterested in socialising .

"So . . . . team Kraken huh . . ? . . . " I asked .

"Yeah . . . don't really care though . . . " she replied shrugging .

" . . . . . Umm do you wanna hang with us ?? . . . . " Helen asked .

"Sure . . . . " she replied seemingly uninterested .

"So Ben told me . . . that the goblin army invasion . . . is much worse than reported to the public . " I said starting a conversation feeling awkward in the silence .

"Really??? . . . " Helen asked .

"Yah Ben told me that there were even trolls and orcs . " I said nodding .

"That's kinda makes sense why it hasn't been swiftly dealt with by now… . . . . . Oddly it's very rare to see their races allied together for a single cause… . " Morgana explained to us .

"I wonder what's got the working together to ally each other . " Helen pondered .

"My bet is something is forcing the out the mountain . " Grace replied .

"Or maybe someone crazy enough to gather an army . . . . " Morgana suggested .

"Do you think we're gonna be alright?? . . . " I asked .





"Yeah we should be fine . . . . . We have plenty of strong individuals in this school . " Morgana answered .

"By the way . . . you're not a hag right . . . . " Helen hesitantly asked Morgana .

"Of course not . . . . why? . " Morgana asked .

"I'm sorry I'm not very well educated on hags . . " Helen replied .

" . . . . Well you can tell I'm not a hag . . . . . You can either use some sort of sense spell . . . or . . . when a human child is a hag, they change into a hag at the age of 15 and compelled to run away… . and I'm 20 and still human so I'm way past the threshold of transforming into a Hag . " Morgana explained .

"Ohhh I see . . . . " Helen replied looking abit shocked and horrified at the process .

"So who is your mother? . . . " Grace asked .

"Granny Matilda . " Morgana answered causing both Helen and grace to take a step back .

"A Granny Hag? . . " They asked in shock .

"Yup . . . " Morgana answered looking unconcerned .


" . . . How did she achieve the name Granny? . . " Grace asked .

"It's a long story . . . . she was in a coven . . . . with a few Aunties . . . . Paul and Scarlet arrived with the mission to eradicate the Coven . . . My mother struck a deal with them, spare her life and she will absolve the coven herself and relocate away from Arcadia . " Morgana explained .

"Then what happened? . . . " Helen asked .

"Mother killed the other five aunties in the coven . . . . and absorbed their soul and power and became a Granny . . . . " Morgana answered .

Helena and Grace fell silent looking at each other the fear and shock, if everything wasn't so alien to me I probably would have felt the same way Helen and Grace did .

"Don't worry mother is really far away . . . plus she seems to have a lot of respect for Paul so she would never touch a student of Atlantis . . . I guess . . . " Morgana said to us .

"You know what would be awesome . . . if we could like merge our rooms and have one big one so we can all just bunk together rather than being cramped in a small room . " I suggested as we enter the dorm building . "So Morgana are you gonna chill with us? . . " I asked .

"If you insist . " She replied but looking at her reaction she looked a little relieved that I asked her .

"Awesome!" I replied with a smile .

"So . . . . . What sort of stuff can you do? . . exactly??" Helen asked as we made our way up the stairs .

"Ummm . . . . anything up to 3rd level spells . . . also proficient in herbal medicine and potion making . . . . . " She said, "And I know a great deal of deadly Bog and Necromancy spells . " She whispered to Grace and Helen .





"Funnily enough . . . hearing your mother is a Hag specially a Granny . . . we're not very surprised . " They both replied .

"By the way . . . where did the guy in your group go? . . " Morgana asked .

"Who Jay? . . " I replied .

"I guess . . . " She said trying to look uninterested but I can tell she looked a little curious by the way she looked at me when I mentioned Jay .

"He's out to help a friend . . . . he'll meet up with us later . . " I answered her as we entered Helen and Grace's room .

"Ohhh I see . . " Morgana replied .

"Make yourself comfortable anywhere . " Grace said taking a seat on the floor .

"Sure . . . " Morgana replied taking a seat on an empty space on the floor .

"So excited to be in Atlantis? . . " Helen asked .

"Ummm I think . . . . Zessia would have been better for my skills . . And abilities . . . but Atlantis will do I guess . " Morgana replied .

"Are we allowed to visit the other schools? . . " I asked .

"Hmmm maybe the cities they are situated in . . . . but inside the school . . . . I really doubt it . . " Grace replied .

"So . . . Morgana what was life like in the bog? . . " I asked take a seat on the floor .

"It's so so . . . . . It's pretty dangerous though . . . . so don't go exploring bogs and swamps by yourselves . " She warned me .

"What sort of things happens there? . . " I asked .

"Plenty of dangerous things . . . there are swamp monsters . . . . . Beings that had died and risen into mindless zombies . . . . . Giant crocodiles . . . . . Swamp trolls . . . . . A plethora of dangerous plant life . " Morgana began to explain .

"Damnnn . . . . that don't sound safe for a child . . . . . " I said in shock .

"It was alright . . . . mother commands most the beats and monsters there so it wasn't dangerous for me growing up . . . A matter of fact my best friend growing up was a swamp troll . . . . " Morgana replied .

Helen and Grace remained speechless like their minds were blown, as if hearing her story was totally unbelievable .

"So you're completely human?? . . . " Helen asked .

"Mother said I am . . . . " Morgana answered .

"that's so weird . . . . hags are known for eating babies . . . in fact babies disappearing in a town or settlement is the first sign of Hag activity . . . . . " Grace stated .





"Yeah . . . . . I asked her about my parents but she said I was abandoned and she by chance came across me in a basket . " Morgana answered .

Suddenly there was a knock on the door . "Ohhh that must be Jay . " I said getting up to open the door, in the corner of my eye I saw Morgana sit up a little tilting to the side to take better look at the door .

"Come in!!" Grace yelled as I opened the door .

"Wassup guys!" Jay said entering the room .

"Hi all!!!" Ben said walking in behind him .

"Ohhh a new member in our group??? . . . " Morgana asked .

"Kind of . . . but I think I'm more of an intern or initiate . . . " Ben replied a little nervously .

"Take a seat anywhere . . . . . Jay" said taking a seat next to me on the floor, Ben quickly followed him taking a seat next to him .

"So where's everyone's tattoos? . . " I asked showing them the one on the back of my right hand .

"Mine and Helen's are on our right wrists . " Grace said showing us the back of her wrist .

"Mines on my thigh . . . but obviously I can't show you right now . . . " Daisy replied .

"Forearm here . . . . " Jay said rolling up his right sleeve .

"I can't really see mine . . but I felt a burn on the back of my right shoulder . " Ben replied .

"Shoulder . . " Morgana replied taking off her coat revealing her left shoulder a Kraken tattoo .

"So what was it like on the Kraken table? . . . " I asked .

"Meh . . . . bunch of kids talking about how strong they are and boasting about things they've done . " Morgana answered .

"Did you see Travis? . . . " Grace asked trying to act uninterested and cool but we all knew why she asked .

"Yeah . . . . he looked pretty annoyed to be there . . . . . " Morgana answered .

"See he's a douche . . . " Helen replied .

"Shush you!" Grace snapped at Helen's comment .

"By the way I was wondering do you think there's anyways they could link our rooms? . . . or at least have a mega room for all of us to hang out in? . . . " I asked .

"Magically I'm sure it's possible . . . but I'm not sure . . . I'm sure your friend can answer . . . " Jay replied .

"Who's Ashley? . . " Ben asked .

"Ashley Pauls Friend . " Jay answered him .

"Hmmm maybe . . . ohh on that fact . . . I wonder how Tim and Caroline are doing . . . . " I pondered to myself .

"Who's Tim? . . " Everyone asked .

"Ohh a 2nd year that I met on the first day . . . he was really nice to me and explained a lot to me . . . and Caroline was the first friend I made… but she was picked to go Eshia" I replied .

" . . . . . You didn't apply to be initiated? . . " Ben asked .

"Nope . . . . I kinda appeared here out of the blue . . " I replied .

"Out the blue? . . " He asked looking confused .

"It means out of nowhere . . . where I'm from . . " I replied .

"Ohhhh . . . . well . . . I've heard that only happens to exceptionally talented individuals . . . " Ben answered .

"Ohhh I see . . . " I nodded .

"I can't wait to see you in the Colosseum . " Ben smiled .

"Heh . . . . . You won't be waiting for long! We all got challenged this week . " Daisy replied .

"Holy crap . . . . " Ben replied looking slightly worried .

"Yeah . . . . and I've personally trained with Paul . . . . I'm so gonna cream my opponent . " Daisy said with a giant smile on her face .

"Waoh . . . . Paul who? . . " Ben asked .

"Paul the Black Dragon slayer of course!" Daisy answered filled with pride .

"No way . . . . so the rumours must be true . . . . " Ben pondered .

"What rumours?" We asked .

"That you guys are friends with Paul and His group . . . . and getting special help treatment from them . . . . . I've heard people are pretty envious . . . " He replied .

"Pshhh . . . . I don't see why everyone get excited over him . . . . . I haven't seen him do anything yet . . . " Morgana sighed .

"Well . . . I'm gonna head to bed . . . . . I see you guys tomorrow . " I said bidding everyone goodnight and began heading back to my dorm room excited for my first day of training tomorrow .
