About two hours later, athena decided that they were done. she fell to the ground while breathing heavily and glaring at alex who kept laughing at her. "fuck you, alex." "you've been saying that all night. you're giving me a signal, aren't you?" alex said as he dropped on the floor beside her. athena punched his arm and he yelped. "ow! you punch real hard," athena laughed. "i never said i was weak. the only thing i can't do is climb and i'm getting good at it," "well, after tomorrow and the next, we'd focus on making you shape shift," to that, athena blew out a deep breath. "i can't wait," she said, her voice laced with sarcasm. alex stood his feet and stretched his hand down to her. "here, we have to go now. we're done and it's almost three o'clock. i'm sure you'd be craving your beauty sleep," athena took his hand and he pulled her up. she fell against his chest and groaned in tiredness. "why are you so comfy?" alex let her rest her head on his chest

As Heyli got dressed for training, she could think about what Athena's decision would be. As it stood now, she was getting ready to be turned down and thrown out of the palace. Maybe today would be her last day here and she had to let everyone know, including Loki whom she greatly disliked. Sighing, she put on her boots and tied the lace before standing in front of her vanity table and spritzing her perfume. She reveled in the fragrance, knowing that this would likely be the last time she'd use it. And also, she was going to make sure she returned really late. Late enough for everyone to be asleep so Athena could break the news to her. As she left her room, one of the maids standing by her door handed her a backpack. It looked new. She had never had one like this in the past. What if this was the bag she'd be leaving with? Her heart was heavy and she didn't dare open it. She slung it over her back and hurried down the steps. As she walked to the main entrance of

Sighing, Heyli straightened fully. Loki was frowning like he didn't like the fact that she was here, eavesdropping on his conversation. "What? I was here before you guys came with your drama or whatever!" Heyli immediately defended. Loki facepalm. "That's not why I'm upset at you n what the fuck are you doing here? I've been looking everywhere for you," Heyli slowly picked up her bag. She remembered the reason why she had run to this place and there was no one she could tell it apart from Ciara or Alex or Daniel or Athena (Well, hers was going to be a hard one). "Well, you can see me here. What's it?" "King Athena has been asking after you. She wanted to see you on the field." "Really?" Heyli asked with wide eyes. "Yes, really. Your friends and I have been searching around for you!" "Is it that important?" Heyli asked. "I have no idea. All I know is that she's looking for you. What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked again. Heyli shr

The games finally started after the ring of a large bell. Everyone began cheering including Athena. She was also excited to see how it'd turn out even though she knew she was never going to admit that truth to Alexander. Firstly, the amateur team came and displayed the tricks they had learnt. A young girl blew out fire from her mouth and everyone cheered then a younger boy came up to do stunts that amazed everyone, Alex included. "How the hell did he do that?!" "He's really amazing," Athena said laughing. Someone came onto the podium to speak before the begining of the main event. They began by thanking everyone for participating in the games and also thanked the guests before specially thanking the Royal family for appearing today. Then the games started. Athena still hadn't seen Heyli or Loki and she was starting to get really worried. Heyli was supposed to participate in one of the games with the junior team and she had assigned Loki to her to protect he

"Your task is to go into the woods, and come back with a red emblem. It's just one and one team has to get it to win a prize and also increase their rank on the scoreboard," One of the senior team members says out loud. "This is going to be fun!"Melodie squealed. Only Hazel shared her excitement but the other girls didn't find it fun. "Heyli, Melodie is a beast in the game and she has this sadistic tendency. That's why she's happy. She's happy that she would be giving someone from another team an injury. So don't share her excitement," Heyli looked at Melodie but this time, she did so in another light. Melodie was the most lighthearted and carefree person among them all. Why would she be sadistic? She didn't even look like she could hurt a fly. As she looked around, her eyes caught Harrison. He was standing with a group of guys his height or even taller and they cracked jokes to attract the females standing around them. Heyli shook her head and turned back to her
