Chapter Three - Visions
"What do you mean Royalty?" I demanded.
"Oh, you know...Kings, Queens, that kind of royalty!" Alexander shot back at me.
"Yes, but the problem is I know the De Lumiere family. None of them have this many abilities. It may be better if we keep this to ourselves. What do you say? Give me chance to seek advice." Asked Professor Smith, everyone nodded. Thank the Gods there was were seven people, including Professor Smith and me. "I'll talk to the Dean once the class is over. For now, let's continue with the ceremony."
Automatically, using telekinesis I suspended the sword in the middle of the circle where we were sitting and Syrena took it telekinetically from me.
"Electrum, Elementum, Oculus and Levita." Then she added, "Also my family have a weird ability of transporting through lightning." She then did the same as I had and put the sword back in the middle and then the other girl took it.
"Catarsis, Mandate and Presence, Elementum, Corpus, Pyro. Also, since I'm a Darkstar I can open doors between worlds."
The sword was passed in the same manner as before and this time it was Alexander that took it. "Metamorphia, Elementum, Clairvoyance and as a witch I can control plants." Following him was Alastor the semi giant, and then finally the last boy who was a sorcerer.
Shortly after the ceremony the class ended. Following the Professor's instruction, we gathered in the middle of the room and held hands. As we did so we appeared back in the woods. Professor Smith went straight to talk to the Dean, as we went to our next class which was Spellcasting, followed by Potions and then lunch which was uneventful.
In the afternoon we had history with the whole class. Then those of us who were magics had botanics, followed by astronomy. After all classes our group reunited once again for Training and Defence. It was like the PE of magic.
The uniform consisted of black pants and black shirts made of an elastic fibre. I hated them the moment I saw them. They were too tight and marked all my body. Thanks to my dad I had a big ass, not too big, but nonetheless it was big. Then, not to brag I had a pretty big dick as well, (9 inches), but hey I'm not bragging. The bad thing about all of this was that for sports and things like that I had to use another prosthetic leg. The one I wore all time was for aesthetic purposes, but try to run with it and you would really suffer. The good thing is that I had my knee, so it wasn't that hard.
I was alone in my room as everybody had already gone down when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and there was a box with a note on top of it. I read it...
`Nick... Show them that you don't need two legs to be the best! Love you Amelie, Marguerite & Claire.' I opened the box and there was a pair of pants just like the ones from training, but these had one leg shorter. The right one.
When I was walking down the stairs and through the halls of the school people looked at my leg, some of them had looks of pity. That's what I hated the most. It is what is, so live with it was my attitude.
I arrived at the gym and everybody was there already. As soon as I opened the door and walked in everybody stopped talking. I walked towards Syre who was talking to Alexander and the girl from today's magic class. Her name was Sarah, Sarah Darkstar.
"Hi..." I said.
"Hi, I see that you decided to do the right thing after all." Alexander said.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Why do you think everybody in the room got down so fast? We know you don't like to show your leg. We talked about it last night when you were bathing. Even MJ agreed."
"Thanks..."
"You don't have to thank me. It was John's idea." He answered.
"John as in Jonathan Wolfanger?" Asked Syre with a questioning look and a hard tone.
"Yes, as in me. Why you are so hostile all the time?" He asked. John, oh I liked the shortening of his name!
"It is none of your business!" She said, but then followed it by whispering, "Dog!"
"Oh, now I remember you. You're the granddaughter of Atalanta. You're Mike's ex..." John stated.
"I am not! I don't know any Atalanta and I do not date animals." Syre said before she moved to go, but John grabbed her arm.
"I know you are mad, but I am not my brother!" I saw where this was going and could tell that it was time I interrupted.
"John, thanks! Syre I need your help with Spellcasting homework."
"What home..." Started Alexander, before Sarah stamped on his feet
"Oh I'm sorry. I am such a clumsy clot!" Sarah stated. We were literally saved by the bell. As very strong middle aged man walked in and rang a little bell on the wall. Everybody stood on a line, one besides the other. The Professor looked at me, you could tell he had seen my leg. It wasn't pity, but a definite look crossed his face that said everything.
"Hello I'm Professor Daniel Daniels. Yes, that is my name and if somebody makes a joke the whole class will drop and give me 50 push-ups. Understood?"
"Yes Sir." Everybody said at unison.
"Oh please DD, don't be so hard on the kids. It's their first day." A woman the same age as Mr. Daniels said.
"Helena...How many times do I have to tell you not to call me DD in front of the students?" He protested.
"I will call you whatever I want sweetheart." She told him then she looked at us.
This woman had a protective look about her, she was the perfect definition of how you would picture a mother. You just wanted to hug her and cry on her shoulder. "My name is Helena Daniels. Yes for all my sins, I am DD's wife. All of you can call me Helena. Just Helena, not Mrs., not Professor, just Helena. Ok? Now..." She said before she stopped and drew a rune symbol on the wall. It glowed and I felt sort of empty, "...this room supresses any kind of magical ability. So, that means no magic, no shapeshifting and no vampiric abilities either. We cannot supress fairy magic because fairies are connected to their magic."
After introductions we did a thorough warm-up, we even exercised our hands. After that came a little class about fighting, thank God I had taken boxing classes. Hey a crippled gay guy needs to defend himself! That's what my best friend used to say, well that and that he wanted to fuck the instructor. That comment was a classical Oscar comment. He was this prototype of feminine slutty gay guy, but he was a good person. I am such a bad friend. I hadn't thought about him in the last two days.
We got paired up and guess who I got. MJ! I heard Professor Daniels say to him, "Go easy on him." What the fuck? I got angry as MJ came up to me.
"You heard it." He said.
"Yep, and do not go easy on me."
"Oh you can be sure of that." He hissed, before the Professor started talking again.
"This is only training, ok? So I don't wanna see low blows or anything like that. Fae people do not use your magic. The fight ends when the opponent gives." He said before he blew his whistle.
Everybody started fighting, but you could see it was just a training session. No one was trying too hard. Except from MJ and me, ours was a real battle. One that I was sorely losing. People think of faeries are pink, little and weak people. Let me tell you they are not! They are very fierce warriors. Every army of magical creatures is afraid of them, or so I read today in a book in the history class.
MJ then kicked my good leg! "Janasander! That is a low blow." Professor Daniels shouted, but MJ did it again only this time followed it with a punch that was on fire directed directly at my jaw. Thank God, I was able to dodge it. "Janasander! Stop it right now." Screamed the Professor Daniels, but MJ didn't listen.
By now all of his punches were on fire. "Merekeen Janasander you are in serious trouble..." Added the Professor heading in our direction, but stopped in his tracks and started to punch the air. There was some kind of invisible barrier stopping him. "Helena drop the seal, NOW!!!" He shouted.
"I already have." She said.
"This is useless. That is an aether barrier, only another Fae can break it." Stated Sarah. "Stella, break it down, he's going to kill Nick." She shouted as she and I looked at the other fairy. She looked at me and her eyes glowed, but not like mine. Hers were like little stars. The barrier shook, but nothing more.
"I can't. Something is getting in my way." The second I looked at her one of MJ's punches found my arm and I screamed as searing pain that was almost unbearable shot through my whole being. In reaction I threw a hook to his jaw and hit him.
"Hahahaha that's better. You wanted it hard..." He shouted before he whispered, "Just the same as you like your cock!"
"What!?!?"
"You heard. I know about you being a fag. I've noticed the way you look at guys, especially Jonathan." He said before he kicked me in my stomach. Then he threw another to my chest sending me flying backwards to the floor, crashing against the barrier. "You angry yet? Come on, show that anger, show me that rage inside. Dig deep damn you, I know you have it in you just simmering below the surface. NO...it's not rage, it's wrath! I felt it in you the moment you looked at my group in the welcome banquet."
He was shouting now, but no sound seemed to escape the barrier. I couldn't even hear them. "Show me! Show all of them. Look at them, they're clueless." Then he threw a fireball in my direction. His pointy ears were smoking and his eyes were like two small suns, flaming with fury. He had wings and they looked like burning firefly's wings. He was awesome. He was gorgeous. NO, not in the sexual way, as in perfect. He was a beast, a killing machine waiting to be unleashed. He had fangs and everything. This is so not how I thought fairies looked like. For a moment in his face there was a glimpse of...pain.
"You're just going to give up! You are a coward. Maybe your father was just like you. He let your mother die. No, you were responsible. Maybe your ..." He couldn't finish because I punched him again. This time in the nose and it started bleeding instantly. "HAHAHAHA... that's way better! This is not what I am looking for, this is what you are. A crippled faggot with no magic. Who's a bastard because his parents are dead." Then he kicked me again, but this time I stood firm.
~Do it, show him~ Said a voice in my head that I recognized as my own. Only angrier, stronger. It was a very different version of me.
~ DO IT!!!~ The voice shouted, I screamed. I put my hands against MJ's neck and began to strangle him. Then I lift him from the ground.
"You wanted to see it. Careful what you wish for." Saying this some kind of energy took me over. I don't know where it come from, but it felt natural. It felt good. Then I screamed and released the energy.
MJ blinked like he was an image on a video. I felt the barrier brake in a million pieces along with all the glass in the windows and doors in the gymnasium. I dropped MJ to the ground and he fell limp. I knew he was alive; I could see him breath. I looked all around the room and all the other fairies were on the ground. It was just like a bomb had exploded or something, but it had only affected them.
I felt dizzy, tired all of a sudden. My heart beat was the only thing I could hear along an annoying ringing. I fell to my knees and then...it all went black.
I was in a beautiful place, it looked like a clearing in the woods. The birds were chirping and it was cool, but at the same time sunny. There were flowers all over the ground and I was laying on them. I saw dragons in the sky and stood up. There quite near to me was a beautiful Unicorn. I walked through the forest and found a river. In the river were five mermaids and mermen sitting on a rock. I kept walking and found a very beautiful beast. It was a griffin. The most beautiful, intelligent and honorable lower creature of them all.
Then I heard a laugh. It was man it sounded stunning. I kept walking, but more quietly this time. I looked at my prosthetic leg and it wasn't there. There was a full flesh over muscle and bones leg. A real one. I was barefoot. I moved my toes and a tear rolled down my cheek. I was... happy. I loved this place.
I kept walking until I found another clearing. This time I stayed behind a tree. You see, there was a pond and seated beside it were three people. Two of them were male and one was a woman. One of the guys was resting against the other one's chest. He laughed and the other man that looked...oddly familiar. Very familiar as I called him kissed the others neck. The laughing guy turned his head and looked at his eyes. This man looked like me. We were almost identical.
"I love you Fer...I love you." This guy that looked like me said.
"I love you too my angel." Answered the other man. Then they kissed a very passionate and hot kiss that was interrupted by the woman when she, using her mind, sent a shot of water all over them.
"Hey lovebirds, I am still here." She smiled
The guys shouted together, "Mor!!!" Everyone began to laugh, but something interrupted them, it was an angel.
"My lord, they have found you. They are on their way." The angel said to the other me.
"Thank you Azalalel. Now go and notify the army that maybe war is on its way. There are dark times ahead of us." He said
"Yes my lord, but please come with me. Let's go to the crystal city." said Azalalel
"No, there is no running now. I foresaw this day a long time ago. GO..." He said and the angel rose into the sky, disappearing shortly after. "Morei, you have to disappear they are not looking for you."
"I am not going to go..." The woman said. Morei was a goddess, the water goddess. "...and I am sure Ferim is going to stay." she added. I looked at the other guy. That was why he looked so familiar. He was exactly like the statue, but without the marks and the four arms I didn't recognize him.
"You know it. You are my love, and besides...you're my brother. I would die for you." He looked at the other me, "Eremir, look at me. Promise me you are not going to do anything reckless."
"Sorry." Eremir said. Eremir was the tenth God. He was one of the most important Gods. Yet there were no drawings, no statues or anything dedicated to him or about him. He is the only God that didn't had an image. Suddenly a sonic boom drew everyone's attention and a body crashed down in front of them. It was a lady, she looked intelligent and wise. "Sairei. What are you doing here?"
"Do you think for one moment that I was not going to defend my favourite brother? I don't know why Iromir warned me; why the dark lord himself warned me. We need to defend you. Samokir is already at the mountains gathering his great army."
Morei went to the pond and put her hand in and a wave was created the moment she touched the water. "My mermaids are warned. They will protect the oceans. The human world will be safe. Sorry that is all I can do. My people can't go out of the waters."
"Do not worry, that is better than nothing. We don't have to worry about the lower races, but send a team to the trench." Said Eremir.
"I already have. The portal to the river is going to be safe." Answered Morei.
"The genies are lifting a barrier. The most important thing now is to know that God is on our side." Said Ferim.
"There are no sides! Now, everyone is going to have to look out for themselves. That's why we need to hold still and resist. Lorei can help us, but she can't fight." Sairei said and suddenly a clap of thunder sounded all over the place.
"Sorry." Eremir said again.
"Why do you say that?" Asked Ferim. "NO! Eremir, please don't." Then Eremir jumped and disappeared into the air. As he did so I got dizzy and a very sweet smell filled my nostrils. It smelled like caramel and then...
I fell through what looked like the rabbit's hole from Alice in wonderland. It was filled with so many things. Things that I mostly recognized. I saw my piano, dad's canoe and many other things. Then when I reached the end I stop falling, like there was suddenly no gravity. I then dropped onto the hard, cold floor. I was in what seemed like a tunnel. It didn't matter where I walked, there was no exit. So I sat on the floor in total frustration.
"Stand up. An Afanasiev never gives up!" A familiar voice said. A hand was appeared in front of me. I took it and stood looking at a smiling face. A face that I thought lost so long ago.
"Hello father."
"Hello Son, no hug for me?" He hugged me. He still smelt just like the last time I saw him, lavender and sea.
"Am I dead papa?" I asked almost crying.
"No my Kotenok." Kotenok means little cat in Russian. It was the nickname my family gave me when I was young. They said when I was little I acted like a cat wanting everybody to pet me, but often became very fierce and angry. They said, when they used to pet me I made this weird sound.
"So where am I?"
"You are in-between. In limbo."
"Then that means you're not dead?"
"No son. I am dead. I have been like this for a long time now." Then he held my face in his hands and kissed my forehead.
Suddenly we were in a very cosy room. It was a mix between a library and a cabin living room. A fire was in the fireplace and it lit the room. "You can build whatever you like in this place. Now take a seat and let's talk." He said and on the coffee table appeared two of my father's special white chocolate mochas with cinnamon. The secret was in using powdered cinnamon and a stick of it. I took a sip and it was like the nectar of the god's.
I told him how hard life had been without him and mother. How I missed them every day. I then told him about me being gay. I told him that I hated myself for a very long time, that all I wanted was to change. Maybe that's why they died. It was my fault. I was crying uncontrollably. He reached for my chin and made me look at him.
He had a smile on his face and his eyes were watery. "Oh my baby boy...I would love you for all eternity. I don't care if you're gay. To be honest, your mother and I knew since you were very little and it is not your fault what happened with us. Someday you will find out the truth. I will always protect you sweetheart. Your mother couldn't come today, but sooner than you can imagine she will visit you. I love you my Kotenok." Then everything went black.
I opened my eyes. I was in a hospital bed. There was this woman with a censer on her hand, the smoke had a caramel smell. "Finally! This is my fourth batch of incense young man. Hello, my name is Maria Stephanopoulos, I'm the school's doctor. You have been in coma for 7 years." She said so seriously.
"What?" I screamed trying to scramble up out of bed in shock. Then she burst out laughing, and my sisters entered the room also laughing.
"Relax. You have only been out of it for a night." The doctor said between laughs and checking my vitals were fine. I eventually laughed too.
"Told you Maria that it was going to be awesome." Laughed Amelie.
"Ame. I can't believe you would do that. You nearly had me believing it!" I laughed.
"Sorry my little Kotenok, but I couldn't resist it." Ame said pushed her blonde and multi-colored hair behind her ear. I then remembered everything.
"How's MJ?" I asked as the doctor disconnected the IV from my left arm.
"Who?" Asked the doctor finishing and putting a bandage were the IV had been before.
"The other guy."
"Oh, Merekeen. He hadn't woken up. I think you need to wake him up. He's in the next room. You were just tired and a your arms burned. You can go whenever you want." said the doctor. I looked at my arms and they were like new, no burn marks, "Pretty awesome isn't it?" Then she said goodbye and left. I dressed and put on my prosthetic leg. I told my sisters I wanted to be alone and they went back to classes.
Once I was alone I went to MJ's room. He was laying on his bed. He had an IV in his arm and a monitor that was signalling his heartbeat and vitals. I had spent a lot of my life in hospitals. That beeping machine is just for drama in the movies, real ones do not beep. I walked towards him and I saw that a machine was reading his brainwaves.
Okay, let's be honest. MJ was sexy. He is total jerk, an asshole and a son of a bitch, but a very sexy one. He had this bad boy look about him. He was muscular and fit. He was shirtless and I could see tattoos all over his arms, shoulders and pecs. All of his muscles were very defined and he was so good looking. He had short black hair with a pair of hazel eyes, besides his pointy ears which were very funny and cute.
Why did this guy hate me so much? I didn't hate him. I couldn't, something in him makes me want to like him. I felt that he was hiding something. I touched his face and a wave of energy moved from my hand to him that made him shimmer like an image on water. Then I couldn't resist, I slapped his asshole of a face so hard that he woke up and jumped from the bed disconnecting all the wires.
"Why? What was that for?" He shouted holding his face and letting out a shriek.
"You deserved it asshole! Plus, that is the fastest way I've found to wake you up." I answered as the door burst open and Doctor Stephanopoulos came running with a male nurse in tow.
"Oh, you woke up." She said letting out a sigh of relief. "Next time, call for us to disconnect you. You scared us." She added, signalling MJ to take a seat. When he did, she expertly changed his IV for a new one and injected somethings into it.
"What's that?" MJ asked.
"Just some Vitamins and things like that..." She answered, "...when this IV is over you're free to go. OH, drink this." She handed him a little bottle. "This is sandbox plant extract."
"It tastes awful." MJ protested. The doctor opened the little bottle and shoved it into MJ's mouth.
"Opa!!!" She said. Oh, I liked her as she was a little unorthodox. She was this typical 50-year-old Greek woman. I laughed. "Okay, there you go. Now I am going to go." She added, before she left and the nurse followed her shortly after.
"Why did you try to kill me?" I asked.
"Well you surely don't beat around the bush..." He said looking at me, "...I didn't... I didn't try to kill you I mean."
"Yeah. I believe you because?" I said.
"Because it's the truth. Fairies can't lie. You asked me to go hard on you and I did." He said looking at me.
"You're an asshole you know that." I told him before I started walking to the door.
"Wait..." He said when I was at the door, "Forgive me, please. For what's worth, no one heard what we were talking about. So no one knows that you're gay." He added.
I was going to go but I turned and said to him, "You may not be lying, but you are hiding something. I don't know why and I don't know what, but I can tell you something...I will find out. I will not forgive you, but I will let it go. Eventually I will forgive you. Maybe one day even forget, but now I just want to beat the living shit out of you." I said and then I left slamming the door. I looked at my watch and it was almost lunchtime so I figured that maybe I would find my friends on the dining hall.
The dining hall was a big room on the first floor. It wasn't the banqueting hall from the welcome ceremony, it was a smaller one. It looked like some kind of all you can eat buffet was being served. To say I was hungry was an understatement. I was starving! I could have eaten a fucking horse. So I got a tray and filled two plates with big mountains of food. Then grabbed a Coke Zero, never got the healthy part actually it is a little dangerous. I just liked the flavour. I found all my friends on a table by the windows. It was raining outside.
"You can all stop crying. You can burn your eulogies. Destroy the graves and lock up your daughters. The prodigal son's alive." Said Theo in the most dramatic voice the moment he saw me, faking a southern accent for some reason. Everybody faked surprise and acted as if I was some kind of celebrity. We all had a good laugh. I took seat between the my usuals, Syre and Alexander. I was surprised to see John and Syre sat at the same table. Sarah was here too.
"Syre, since when are you and Jonathan such good friends?" I asked.
"We're not. I am on probation." John responded.
"Yesterday he was concerned about you and I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt." Syre said.
"You were concerned about me?" I squeaked, a little surprised. The truth is that I sounded like an idiot looking at him. To save the moment I sorted myself and said again, "You all were concerned about me?"
"Yeah. Why wouldn't we? We're friends." Alex said.
All my life I had a little group of friends. Most of the times it was only Oscar and Gert (Gertrude, another example of bad parents who call their daughter something like that). Now I was happier. I knew magic existed. I could do magic. I had friends. Maybe one day soon, I would find a boyfriend as in this school almost every guy was hot.
Yes, maybe there was still a lot of things to be answered. Who was I? What did it mean that I was royalty? I would find out the answers, but now...Now, I wanted to enjoy the moment. I had new friends and that was always a cause for celebration.
That's all for now folks ... This is Chapter three – Chapter four will follow soon.
