Chapter 1: Rumor

It was a sunny day in fantasia two girls and a boy were conversing with each other in formal attire, casually.

The girl who had brown locks and gleaming purple earrings spoke in a gentle tone.

"See you next semester." The girl then looks at the other girl with the frosty hair and a big sun hat with a blue ribbon.

The girl with frosty hair had just been staring at the two for a few seconds until she finally decided to speak. "You have too much of a bleeding heart to the point, I fear you'll be dead before you even come back." She said bluntly with a deadpan yet calm expression but added. "But your softness really makes you show off how kind you are." The boy tilted his head and had a nervous smile. "T..thank you..?" The girl with frosty hair's deadpan expression shifted ever so subtly into a small smile "Be well, Theodore." The girl says as she shows off her her subtle smile to the two.

Theodore then smiles and waves gently at them as he heads to the ship with his luggage.

As the boy turned his back on them the girl with brown locks felt ominous and reached out "wait."

As she spoke the word "wait", the atmosphere had suddenly changed so very different from earlier, it felt heavy on her.

Theodore stops and looks back at the girl.

Both the girl with frosty hair and Theodore was gazing at the girl with brown locks. The girl with brown locks' earrings blares fiercely slightly reflecting a girl who has black hair.

As if tongue-tied she stares back blankly, then shakes her head and reluctantly waves at the boy bidding farewell.

********

A large thunder roars in the middle of the room.

A girl with jet-black hair sits up anxiously while gasping heavily on her canopy bed, slightly rustling the soft silk sheets as the strong wind flew over her room vigorously making the curtains fly.

"Theo..!"

As her bedhair falls gently on her shoulders, following the wind. She snaps back to her senses slowly.

She rubs her eyes gently she feels her eyes wet with tears and wonders who she was crying for.

The girl stands up to close the window stopping the aggressive wind from blowing in her room abruptly. Her red earrings blares fiercely and slowly stops swinging from the wind. She finds her earrings that were blaring brightly slowly fade. She thinks nothing of it, and heads back to sleep for school.

********

The school's vicinity had an abundance of flowers everywhere the vines even slowly seeping in gracefully with it's gentle flowers as the hall's floor were filled with it's petals while hearing a variety of gentle whispers and melodies from the music class as you past by. There were always whispers through the hall but it was never rowdy or disruptive atleast not until the popular gentle student council president and his notorious vice president arrives.

After the school's morning assembly she walks by a group of her peers talking gleefully. Fully engaged and interested in their conversations, as she felt curious, she approaches them to ask what the fuss is about.

"Class president!" Student A greeted.

"Just call me Fier." The girl said softly.

Her schoolmates then gestures her to come closer as they whisper. Their voices getting boisterous the more they get excited until they are basically not whispering anymore about this mysterious rumor;

The rumor was about a mysterious cave inside the forest's waterfall; where a ghost resides in. They bewitch anyone who dares to enter the cave trapping them and leaving them bound to the cave forever.

A girl with fluttering platinum hair happens to pass by and overhears them. She had continued to walk. Showing apathy to the words, but the thoughts about the ridiculous rumor had lingered in her mind.

*It'd be pointless to ponder on this rumor.*

She had continued to reflect on the thought more; she had thought nothing of it, but she felt as if she was supposed to value it for later on.
