On the very next day, woken up by the sunlight that fell on her face, Audrey stirred on her bed. She even tried to cover herself under the blanket as she attempted to reposition her body finding the best spot to continue her slumber. But realizing that sleepiness escapes her already, she decided to sit up on the edge of the bed and brush away the remaining sleepiness in her eyes. She did a cursory look at the small glass window at her side and there she saw that the sun was already rising majestically outside. It was as if the heavy rain and the brewing storm last night were all part of a dream. Yet the Greek-inspired room where she was currently resting at, was foolproof evidence that everything that happened last night was all for real. She was finally heading to Iridos for real! Looking back at her bed, she saw her cat still lazing beneath the bed cover. To be pr

"Who has the gut to attack the ship carrying the students of Magus Academia????"   One of the passengers asked in puzzlement as he reaches inside his robe.   As if on cue, the remaining number of the man left within the ship's deck reached inside their robes and took out a wand.   "Wow! Everyone here is a warlock! They all knew magic!!!"   Audrey shouted in amazement in her mind. But soon realization struck her.   "Everyone was capable of protecting themselves, but how about me???"   "It was a flock of Harpies!!!!"   "Harpies?!!! Shoot! Why now?!!!"   "This gonna be bloody."   Heated discussion started to resurface as the remaining men in the ship's deck converse to one another.   Audrey at the corner grimaced as the severity of the situation unfolds. She tried her best to shr

  "HEEEEEEEEEELPPPP" Screamed a man as he got lifted off the ground by two Harpies. It was as if the two birds with the face of that of a woman were trying to snatch the body of the poor man to one another. They ended up tugging at both ends. "NOOOOOOOOO... Please... Someone... Please make them stoooooooppppp!" The man keeps on shouting as pain assaulted his body. His cry was a mix of pain and agony. Yet no matter how hard he cried for help, it was to no avail. Everyone was busy defending themselves from the sudden onslaught of these said harpies. Audrey, on the other hand, decided that she can't watch idly as she saw the man being tortured like that. " Nero!!! Quick... help him...." [I'm sorry, Audrey but I cannot. That man over there is a warlock he must have other means to survive. But you, you on the other hand don't have any

"What are you doing??? Get away from here!" Prince Niccoli try to push away the stranger who uses its own body as a shield to block the attack of the harpies. Everything happens so fast! He saw the same harpy who took his wand launch an attack aiming to scratch him, but before it could even land, the stranger put himself between them and the harpies. As a result, the harpy managed to scratch the forearm of the stranger. Yet for some unknown reason, instead of frantically attacking them after the first successful scratch, the harpies halted their onslaught. The harpy who manage to scratch the stranger shriek and flew away in panic. While the remaining harpies crumple their nose upon the sight of the blood. They also flew away one by one! It seems like the Harpies were so disgusted at the presence of the blood and they cannot stand the sight of it. Yet this idea seems absurd and contradicting cause the harpies have been wreaking havoc for quite some time now that

"Are you sure this one is potable???? Don't you think this one expired already??? I think the water inside already gone bad." "Ahem... You are kidding right???? HEHE" Prince Niccoli was not sure what to say. He did not expect that this stranger could be more strange than he thought. How could water expire in the first place???? And what does he mean the water inside had gone bad????What inside is definitely not water. It's a wine!!! For crying out sake!Listening at the side, Prince Nike realized where the problem lies. "This good gentleman over there, I suppose this is your first time tasting wine. Is that right????" "Yeah?????" Audrey's expression started to turn weird as realization dawn on her.[This poor,  soul. TO be honest, at this point I could no longer decide if I should regard you as innocent or simply food. I wonder how you were able to
