Chapter 6

It's our 3rd day of training. My meetings with Marielle lessened, we just saw each other during class and we separate our ways during dismissal. It is also because we have different locations for practice and training. I am currently in our town's sports complex. Our archery team is training here. It is also the day of evaluation for our placement. Ms. Kate is a great trainer. We also informed that she was a varsity during her college and she plays archery too. She gave us different pointers and help us to improve our foundation, stance, and execution.

My team is still training while I am sitting at the bench chairs while playing chess with my phone. I also join the training sometimes. I am pretty much lazy. I am just observing my team and sometimes give pointers. They improve a lot and I can see their eagerness and determination. I am currently observing our captain. There are 3 targets here same distance during the tryouts. Our captain mostly trains on the 60- and 7-meter distance as she can perfectly score ten on the 50-meter target. After she released her arrow, it scored 8. She still needs improvement.

I lazily go to Ms. Kate and ask what time will the evaluation start. She said after 5 minutes. With that, I lazily go back to the bench chair and drink my apple juice. I looked at my team again. I hope I am as dedicated as them. I am so lazy to move my body. I just lay on the bench chair and looked at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and I opened it again with my golden eyes. I looked through the different light-years to look for someone. As I found her, I talked to her telepathically.

"Aunt Goddess Mom." The beautiful lady with a white dress who has a crescent crest on her forehead shocked as she heard me.

" Baby Flower." She said as her eyes sparkled.

"Aunt Goddess Mom, can you help me with something," I asked to her

"Just call me Mom already, Baby Flower." After I heard that, I blushed.

"Just call me Cath, Mom," I said while being flustered.

" More like it. What is it, Child."

"Mom, can you tell my Mommy and Daddy that they should prepare Cattleya Oasis for me," I asked blushing.

" My son is waking up?" she asked excitedly.

" Yes, Mom. You know the ritual Mom. I can't go home for now but please prepare it. I will go home when He will wake up."

" Of course, Child! Oh My! I'm so excited. " I can see and hear how excited he is. I just smiled at her.

"Mom, please tighten up the security. There will be an attack that night. Please prepare our people. I can't tell when but I will tell all of you soon when I get the feeling." I said seriously. Mom can any hear me. But I can hear and see her.

"Yes, Child. Thank you for the information." She said seriously.

"I need to go now, Mom. Send my regards and love to Dad and to my family."

"Take care always, Baby Flower."

My sight fastly went back to earth and luckily it is time for our evaluation. Ms. Kate called us and lined us horizontally facing the 3 targets.

" So before we will start, I will like to tell you all that despite that there will be changes on your ranking based on your performance today, Ms. Gerarldez will still be your captain. I can see that all of you are working hard and had so much improvement. This day, it will not just for your placement but we will also know how much all of you improved despite the little days we have. Good luck students. Let's compete for the interschool competition. Let's represent our school."

The evaluation started by the rank 5. I am just observing them and I am happy to see their improvement even though we have limited time to train and practice. Ms. Kate is really happy to see the result. It's already my turn but, I want to be last.

" Ms. Kate, can I do the evaluation last?" I asked respectfully

" Oh, why is that Ms. Kingsley?" Ms. Kate asked. Her forehead creased a bit.

"It's okay Miss. Let her shoot last." Ms. Kate nodded and our captain began to prepare to shoot. She scored 10 for the 50-meter distance, 10 for the 60-meter, and lastly 9 for the 70-meter distance. She improved a lot. She really has the skills.

"29 points for Ms. Geraldez. 3 points above your tryout scores. You improved a lot, Captain. Congratulations. With more practice, you can score perfect soon." She smiled sincerely to Ms. Kate and looked at us, her team, and smiled.

"It's your turn, Ms. Kingsley." I walk towards the table where the pieces of equipment are. One by one, I grabbed them and prepare to shoot. I scored 9 for both 50- and 60- meter distance and I scored 8 for the 70-meter distance.

" 26 points for Ms. Kingley. You also scored 3 points above your tryout scores. Keep up the good work. Congratulation." I just walk towards my line and wait for further announcements. After some minutes, Ms. Kate came back. She also started announcing the ranks and placement. I am again second while Captain is still rank 1. I will be second to the last to perform. Ms. Kate suggests that the stronger member should be last also to help in keeping track of our scores.

The system will be that from our placement each member will be competing for one on one with other grade levels. Our game will be held on the first day of the intramurals week. It will be quite nice so that the remaining 2 days will be a rest day to me and so that I can stay at Marielle's room to watch them practice. We are dismissed early and I decided to go home. The town's sports complex is quite far from our school so we need to travel by bus. We are all waiting for the bus because we are planning to stop at our school.

While we are waiting, a group of students came and waited with us here at the bus stop. We can see the logo of the other school who we will be also competing at the interschool competition. Ms. Kate already left together with her motorcycle.

"Archery team?" Someone asked. She has short hair and she is quite tall. She also has black eyes and thin lips. Our captain step up from her position and looked at them.

" Yes, we are." She answered calmly.

"That's nice. Let's fight each other at the interschool competition then." She continued. Our captain just nods her head.

"Can't wait to defeat your school like last year. You are all a bunch of losers and weaklings." She added. All our attention went to her and we can see her mocking face. We just remained silent.

"Captain, don't be like that." her member said.

"What? They will be defeated by us again. It's pretty obvious. Let's go for now. I don't want to share a bus with a bunch of losers." She continued and later, their team leaves our sight.

"Don't mind them. Let's prove ourselves and win our intramurals week so that we can shoot our arrows to them when we grab our trophy during interschool." Captain said. We just nodded. As you can observe, we are a silent-type team. We just do actions rather than all talks.

The bus came and after 30 minutes we arrived at our school. We bid goodbye as we went our separate ways. I was about to walk towards my apartment when I saw Marielle at the bus stop. I was about to go near her but the bus came and she already went inside. I just go back to my tracks and walk my way to my apartment.

As I arrived home, I changed into my comfortable clothes and begin cooking. After eating, I did my evening routines and lay on my bed. I grabbed my phone and check for updates and after that, I turn on my alarm and put my phone on the nightstand. I closed my eyes to sleep but I couldn't bring myself to dreamland. I get up and walk towards my window. I sit on it and upon my windows. The stars tonight are so bright and they are sparkling. I looked at the moon who is in its third quarter. A bit more and the full moon will soon arrive. I slowly closed my eyes and slowly open them. I looked at the sky until I saw Mom at Jupiter's moon.

"Mom" I called her. She is the only one I can call that is not in the Magic Realm.

"Baby Flower," she answered

"Mom, the red moon of Mercury and the Venus will align. It's the day they will attack." Mom's expression became cold and serious.

"Is that so, I will inform the others. Thank you."

"But, he will not wake up that time, Mom. It will just help him regain his power and strength but he will still be in deep slumber. " I informed.

"I understand."

"I will go now. Take care, Mom"

"I will." as she smiled, I bring my sight back to the earth.
