Lockers Orphanage PART FIFTEEN
[Nowo's POV]There's a weird feeling on my nose the moment I woke up. I moved my eyes around the room, and Lane wasn't there anymore."Where did she go?" I wondered to myself as I sat on my bed.I hate the feeling of coldness as well as weakness whenever I wake up from a nice sleep. It causes me to feel lazy enough to do anything. Well, I guess I need to warm myself up to get rid of this.While doing some kind of workout, I saw a wonderful piece of clothing placed on the wooden table, underneath my weapon. It was a brown velvet unitard with long sleeves and a black lace-up leather corset, a pair of leather boots, and a belt with small pouches on each side."Oh, cool. This kind of outfit would be perfect for an adventure," I uttered to myself. I'm both amazed and excited about what is going to happen next, and this is way too far from what I felt before it all even started. I admit, I was very scared to face my destiny the time it was revealed, but then I feel so fired up and motivated
Lockers Orphanage PART SIXTEEN
[Narrator's POV]The map given to the orphans was composed of different destinations they needed to pass safely. The hunters' mountain is the most dangerous and secured part of the land of Astria, and the only path they can take to reach the Lake of Aria. The monstrous creatures living in the mountain include wild beasts, elves with strong black magic, half-human half-animal creatures like centaurs, and more.Surviving on that mountain is indeed hard. A single person without abilities would end up dying without even reaching half of it.Alasdair is both worried and excited about what is going to happen after the defenders face their death.He smiled at them and said, "I hope you all have a nice journey.""A question: what's the point of separating us into five different teams when we are all heading to the same destination?" Maison wondered."By the use of my powers, I will send you to different starting points before you begin your journey," Arphen explained. "As you already know, th
Lockers Orphanage PART SEVENTEEN
[Narrator’s POV]The magic of beginnings happens when a real journey is about to start. No one improves without facing difficult challenges in life, though some end up losing their lives for the sake of progress and improvements; courage is what reminds every one of them. The defenders knew that their either fortunate or unfortunate fate would begin once they all heard the sound of the trumpet noise. They all took a step forward with excitement creeping inside them, even though they felt anxious about all the unknown dangers they were going to face.“Do you think we are able to accomplish all of our plans before the Dark Lord decides to harm them and wipe us all out?” Arphen wondered aloud to the headmaster.Alasdair couldn’t help but smile at his question.“It seems like…” The former king paused for a moment and gave him a quick gaze. “You are already losing your faith in our Gods,” he concluded. “They may send us to a place far away from our kingdom and let us face this kind of desp
Lockers Orphanage PART EIGHTEEN
[Nowo's POV] This land never fails to surprise me. I thought monsters only existed in books and that there was nothing to worry about since those were all a bunch of letters written on pages. But then, they kept showing in front of me, and this made me feel terrified. Lane and Talaa were captured by an unknown flying beast. Their appearances were somewhat blurry due to the thick dark smoke conquering the whole forest, but then the moment they started flapping their wings, the smoke began to disperse. The two little fairies were both trapped inside the long claws of a half-bird, half-woman creature. "H-help," Lane uttered as they gave us a grimace of pain. As the flying creature came near us, another two appeared behind her. Their eyes were wide-opened, which made me think that they do have a clear sight in this wide and gloomy area. Their faces were wrinkled, and they do have the creepiest smile I've ever seen here in this land. "Moha," I called him and was about to spill a few mo
Lockers Orphanage PART NINETEEN
[Narrator’s POV]There is nothing more entertaining for the headmaster than being able to watch all the orphans clearly with the help of Arphen’s magic. He is fully amazed by how they solved their obstacles with their bare hands and minds. Jack used his spear and his own strength to forcefully free himself from the trap, and Blaze, on the other hand, couldn't do the same thing because her weapon isn't capable of that. She made herself as light as possible, moved to the side where she saw a branch, and quickly reached it. In the end, despite the trouble, their pride still won, and Arphen shook his head as a sign of disappointment."I'm amazed at how these two overcame their situation. They are both skilled to be a pair.""I agree, my king. They are both skilled; however, there are no signs of unity," Arphen commented.Alasdair nodded after he realized what his loyal comrade was trying to teach this pair.As for the next pair, Cordelia and Helios kept on walking two meters away from eac
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY
[Narrator's POV]They couldn't describe the raging happiness creeping inside their bodies the moment they all reach the end of the forest. Their once bowed shoulders and shaking limbs turned into their normal places and movements. They all felt like the energy they had lost during the troubles they faced inside the dark forest already came back.At the end of the dangerous path, another entrance to a weird destination appeared. A familiar place where they had all seen before.The labyrinth.Who would've enjoyed being trapped in a huge labyrinth that is covered not just by normal plant walls, but creepy-looking huge walls with sharp thorns? They could hear a lot of weird noises from where they are all currently standing. The sounds can be described as wailing creatures, which came after the loud growl of a seemingly wild monster. Fear started to creep on their bodies after taking a step towards the dark entrance of the labyrinth. The strong, howling wind gave them goosebumps and even m
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-ONE
[Narrator's POV] A long time ago, there was a group of male sinners, also called cursed humans, who had been altered by the Gods to transform into evil giants with fur-covered bodies, bull-like heads, and tails. These monsters, born from the arrogance of man towards the Gods, came to be known as Minotaurs or the Monsters of the Labyrinths. Five of them found themselves trapped inside the confusing structures created by Poseidon, where five pairs were currently walking through. "To kill is to live" was their belief, and they eagerly awaited the arrival of the defenders to satisfy their hunger. Meanwhile, three pairs, including Nowo and Moha, Helios and Cordelia, as well as Raiden and Fraise, were nearing the center of the labyrinth. Here, they needed to fight and defeat the monster to pass through to the other side of the death circle. The incredible force emanating from the center pulled them closer, and as they approached, strange sounds grew louder. "What is that creature?" asked
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-TWO
[Narrator's POV]Helios couldn't believe that Cordelia's seemingly simple suggestion would lead them to success. With nothing but their bare hands, they wrested the hammer away from the beast and used it to crush him. Lifting the heavy hammer, they felt as if their wrists were about to be ripped off."Damn. That was heavy," Helios exclaimed while stretching his long arms."See? I told you! It will work!" she joyfully uttered with sparkling eyes. Helios nodded. "Yes. You did well." He agreed and smiled at her. He patted her head while complimenting the female orphan.Cordelia smiled at him and suddenly ran towards the beast weapon. "Can I keep it?" She asked while jumping out of excitement."No." He firmly insisted.After the Minotaur fell lifeless, they started to walk and searched for their missing spear and sword. Their unexpected success surprised the headmaster as well as Arphen. Even though they knew the two would still pass through the labyrinth, they never expected Cordelia’s
