CHAPTER 4

RAVEN'S POV

Lia and I are here together with her friends in the cafeteria. We sat at the table in the middle. Earlier, other students and professors were staring at me badly.

Tsk. I don't care about them. They just stare at me badly until they get bored. As if I care about what they think about me. Time will pass and they will also get tired.

"I already ordered for us? What about you Raven?" Brent asked

"Anything. What's the matter with Lia?" I said smiling

"Okay. Just wait for me here," said Brent

"Of course we will wait for you! Do we look like we have a choice? Idiot!" Lia scoffed

"Am I asking you? I just asked Raven and not you? Get your food by yourself. Tsk. Why are you so mean to me but when it comes to Troy you are kind? Do you like my brother?" Brent's taunted

I looked at Lia and stared into her eyes. Even though I didn't know her that well, I knew she was hurt by what Brent said. I can read as much as people feel and think by staring at them. No matter how much they hide it I will know what they are thinking and feeling. This is not my power okay? Someone taught me how.

And based on what I see in her eyes. She loves Brent not just as a friend but as a man.

"Of course not. I don't like your brother duh!" Lia said

"Good. You shouldn't fall in love with my brother" Brent said, what an insensitive guy.

And based on the words I see in his actions. He cares for Lia. He loves her but not as a woman but as a best friend.

"Why? Because you're in love with me?" Lia asked smiling

But I know she is afraid to hear what Brent will answer.

"Of course not. I'm not in love with you. I don't want you to fall in love with my brother because I don't want you to be part of my family. I don't like you for my brother and we all know he already loves someone else." said Brent

And I saw that Lia was really hurt by what Brent said but she still pretended as if it’s nothing. What a martyr.

Brent was lying. The true reason why he doesn't want Lia to fall in love with her brother is that he knows that his brother already loves someone else and he doesn't want Lia to be hurt because of his brother.

"Brent we're already starving just get our foods so we can already eat," Troy said

Brent left to get some food. Troy held Lia's hand.

"Lia I'm sorry for my brother's rude attitude. Please forgive him. You know him right? He likes to tease everyone. Just don't think too much about what Brent said. He's such a jerk you know that." Troy apologized

Lia smiled but I knew it was fake.

"Oh come on troy! I'm used to your brother! Don't mind me. It's fine really." Lia spoke

As I looked around the cafeteria my eyes caught a glimpse of Chloe staring at troy. Well, I heard Lia called her Chloe so I assumed that was her name.

She's hurt and jealous. It looks like the three of them have a past. Hmm...

Soon Brent arrived with our food. The table was loud because of the siblings. They are so loud. Tsk.

Annoying creatures. They should be thankful that I need something from them because without it I would not tolerate them like this.

While they were having fun here because of the awkwardness due to the loudness of the two siblings I looked again in Chloe's direction and I saw in her eyes the envy and regret but she tried to cover it with a bitchy expression. Yeah, bitchy expression.

"Raven, is it really your first time here in Avalor?" Lia asked

"Avalor?" I asked out of confusion

"This world of ours was called avalor." troy answered who was listening to our conversation

"Yeah. This is my first time here." I said

"Then we will tell you the basic information about our world. Well, it's our job. But we can only tell you the basic information and after that, you need to know the other information by yourself." Brent said

"Okay," I answered

"There were 5 kingdoms here in avalor. The Fire kingdom, Earth kingdom, Air Kingdom, Water kingdom, and Elemental kingdom. There were 3 worlds here in Avalor, Olympus which is the world of all gods and goddesses. The Magisch world of all elementals, werewolves, wizards, and other mythical creatures. We are called Magi. The Darkia is the world of dark elementals, dark werewolves, witches, and other dark mythical creatures. There are also 2 kinds of mythical creatures here in our world. The Light mythical creatures like us are called lux while the dark mythical creatures are called tenebris. The color of the Gods and goddesses eyes was silver; it symbolizes their purity and the demon's eyes were color gold symbolizes their greediness." Lia explained

"That’s all the basic information you need to know." Lia said

"Thanks," I said

"Let's go now. You'll know more when we enter" said Brent

We immediately grabbed our belongings and went to the room. It turns out that the five of us are classmates.

Soon a man in his mid-40s suddenly came with orange hair and brown eyes.

Almost everything I saw here was pure beauty and I was the only one who was ugly here.

They all look like anime. I just need a cosplay uniform. Well, we don't have a uniform yet. We will only have a uniform and section when the leveling is done.

"Good morning class I'm Rios Laurel you can call me Sir Rios. I'm your teacher in history. I know all of you already knew each other except the transferee." said Sir Rios and looked at me

"Miss Scott can you please introduce yourself?" he asked

Seriously?! Am I in elementary? I thought only in the mortal world where there is such a thing. Tsk. I was forced to stand up but I was still smiling fake. The difficulty of plasticizing.

When I got to the front, the murmur started, if you can really call it a murmur with what they are doing because I can hear them loud and clear, why don’t they just shout what they are saying. Tsk. Bitches and Jerks.

'Yuck! I can't bear to look at her ugly face!'

'Where did she come from on the continent and does she look so ugly?'

'Ewww! She was probably the ugliest creature I had ever seen. She is even uglier than the Virganians!'

(Virganians- the ugliest type of an ogre. An S class monster)

'Hahaha'

Everyone who heard what the latter said laughed. Tsk. If I cut off their heads, let's just see if they are still beautiful afterward.

"Shut up all of you! You have no right to and insult her! You are beautiful and handsome but your character has been rotting in hell for a long time! Another word and all of you will end up in the detention room.” Lia shouted so they all fell silent

That's good. Tsk. Sir Rios looked at me and motioned for me to start.

"I'm Akisha Raven Scott," I said

"Is that all Ms. Scott? Then do you mind telling us what is your power?" sir Rios asked I saw everything was quiet. They seem to want to know what power I have.

"I'm an Illusionist, sir."

I saw that everyone was surprised as well as sir Rios.

"How come she became Illusionist?"

"I thought there was no illusionist left?"

"That was a rare power, right? How come she has those powers?"

"So what if she's an illusionist? She's still weak. The only difference is that she has a rare power."

I sighed in my mind. I'll just whisper what I still hear. That's why you're still surprised, how come you know everything?

"You may now take your seat," said sir Rios so I walked to my seat

I saw Chloe take out her foot to stab me. I pretended I didn't notice that. I have to pretend to be a lame and weak nerd. And this is the beginning of my pretense.

I did not avoid Chloe's foot so I stumbled causing everyone to laugh.

"Such a weakling and ugly nerd. You don't belong here" Chloe said mockingly

I felt someone pull me upright.

"Are you okay Raven?" Troy asked worriedly

"I'm fine Troy," I replied and smiled

I looked at Chloe and read jealousy and pain in her eyes. Hmmm... She's secretly in love with Troy huh.

I looked at troy. He's looking at Chloe. I can see the disappointment in his eyes but I can see other emotions in his eyes that he is trying to hide.

Love and longing.

Hmmm... This is interesting. I felt someone staring at me so I turned around and saw Ash staring at me.

What is his problem? Tsk. So I stared at him as he stared. What did he think I could not stare back at him?

We just stopped staring when Troy spoke.

"I don't know that you can be this low Chloe. You really changed. You're not the Chloe we knew before." said troy and traces the frustration

So they knew each other before huh? There's a lot of thoughts coming into my mind. I think I have already a conclusion on what happened between them.

"I don't care if you're disappointed or what troy. I'll do what I want and you can't do anything about it." Chloe said and raised her eyebrow.

"Enough troy. I'm fine. It’s no big deal." I said

"Are you sure?" he asked

I did not answer and just nodded. I’m too lazy to speak. I'm just trying to be talkative. I’m being too talkative today. I feel so exhausted. I sat down in my chair.

"Okay. That's enough. So our discussion for today is all about gods and goddesses. We all know that gods and goddesses were the most powerful kinds in our world. They are the ones who created us and they are the ones who gave our powers to us. We were worshiping them as a sign of our respect. They are the ones with the purest heart. They do not sin or make mistakes. They have a law that says they can not love those who are not their kind. Yes they're kind but if one of them broke even just one rule they're going to kill those who dares to disobey them” sir Rios said

What he's saying right now catches my attention. Sir Rios was about to speak when someone raised his hand.

"Sir Why can't they love their kind? Does that mean they have no freedom to love whoever their heart desires? That's so cruel."

Everyone who heard agreed.

"Well, that's their way of keeping their purity. Because when they love someone like them they will be tainted by evil. The purity they kept on protecting was going to lose. Their purity symbolizes their kind and it's precious to them. That is their rule we should respect it” sir Rios explained

Purity? Huh! That's insane! Every kind has darkness within them it's just that the one who they called gods and goddesses knows how to control it.

"Sir, you said earlier that they can't do anything wrong, but isn't killing someone just because they love someone that is different from them a sin? Everyone has the right to love whoever their heart desires."

The male student added. He had a point.

"For them, it's not wrong. For them, it's the most right thing to do. Once they do not follow their rules they no longer think of it as an ally but an enemy. An enemy who has no right to live. Anyone who tries to break their law is a disgrace in their race because they are the ones who lead the whole Avalor they should be a good example to everyone. Because how can everyone follow them if they can not follow their own policy that they made themselves." Sir Rios explained

He got a point too. No one follows a leader who cannot follow their own law.

"Sir, is there anyone who has broken their law not to love those who are not their kind?"

That question caught my full attention.

"There is."

"Who?"

"The king and queen of Avalor"

I saw the shock on the faces of others. Apart from the Royal Council, they seem to have known about it for a long time.

"It means the rumor is true? I thought it was just a rumor."

"No. It's true. Queen Victoria was a Goddess and King Calix was a Demon before"

"Sir I thought you said they are killing anyone who violates their law so why is Queen Victoria still alive? She loved a demon and as far as I remember Demons had the same rule with gods and goddesses. They also cannot love those who are not their kind."

"Yes, it's true. What they went through was not a joke. It was hell. My own eyes saw the bloodshed and life before they were finally together. Eventually, they also agreed to let them go. eventually together in exchange for something, they have to give up what or who they really are. The king and queen agreed because this is the only way for them to be together. Because they can not be together because the queen is a goddess and the king is a demon The prophecy states that a creature with the blood of different races, one from darkness and one from goodness is destined to destroy or save the whole world. That’s why the policy not to fall in love with someone of their race had started"

"Sir, is the King and Queen the first and last to break their law?"

"Of course. They're the first and last to break that law, aren't they sir?" a female classmate of mine spoke

"The truth is that there are others ahead of them." sir Rios said

I saw that everyone was surprised as well as the Royal Councils. It looks like they just found out.

"And it's your task. You need to know who is the first goddess that fell in love with a demon. That's all for today. I want the next time we meet you already know the answer or else." sir Rios threatened before he left.

My classmates also left. The Royalties and I are the only ones left.

"You go first Lia I'm just going to the library," I said

"You sure? What if Chloe's group is waiting for you outside? Just come with us so we can all be in the dorm together." Lia asked worriedly

Why is she like that? She just knew me a few hours ago and now she's acting as if we've been friends since we're kids. I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

"Yes. Don't worry. I'm fine." I said with a fake smile

"Okay," Lia replied and they left to go to their dorm

I immediately walked to the library. I think my jaw became numb because I keep on smiling all day.

I don't really know how others can smile for a long time. Tsk.

When I went to the library I searched for the book I needed so I could find out all the information I needed.

I have reached the end of the search. Eventually I found what I needed. I was about to take it when suddenly I saw something shining at the very end. I went right away. As I approached I closed my eyes to too much light. But that did not stop me from getting the thing that was shining. Gradually the light gradually faded until the light completely disappeared and I saw that it was a book. It was a brown book. It just looks like an ordinary book. It's just that it has a strange symbol in the middle of it. I don't know but someone tells me here all the information I need.

Suddenly my hand moved alone and touched the strange symbol. I suddenly felt my palm hurt. There was nothing sharp in my hand so why did I get wounded? I saw how the color of the book changed. From a simple dark brown book, it became light brown with a green diamond on each side and an aqua blue crystal in the middle.

I first checked to see if anyone was there and when I saw no one I opened it. It shone again but he was not as light as before just so I could see the light. The light is blue and has a three-circle design that looks like a ritual. I do not understand the designs inside the circles.

Eventually, the light disappeared and I read what was on the first page.

'UNTOLD SECRETS'

I immediately took it and put it inside my bag in my dorm just to read it.

When I got to my dorm I immediately lay down on the bed and picked up the book and read.

'The first goddess and demon that fall with each other and break their sacred rule are Serena and Kaizer. Serena is one of the powerful goddesses in Olympus. She's the 12th granddaughter of Aphrodite. She was the only one left that has Zeus blood so she was treated as the Queen of the gods and goddesses. While Kaizer is the only son of Hades and Persephone. They were both killed by their own kinds because- '

Cut? I opened the next page and suddenly letters appeared

'If you really wanted to know the answers to all of your questions then you must read this book till the end. If you finished reading this you need to know my name and write it on the blank page on the last page of this book '

I immediately closed the book. I need to sleep too much as my brain is overloaded today. I need to rest.

Serena and Kaizer…

I touched my chest when I felt as if something was in my chest.

How do I feel? Why are so many weird things happening to me since I came to this world? Tsk. Never mind. I'll just go to sleep.
