It was late, midnight. Kael and Rin were in their shared room in the ADC Headquarters. Kael was trying to use some magic. More specifically make a fire using his Nyth. He had tried many times before. Only once did a flame appear, and that one time it did appear. Kael had scorched the floor, and he got a long scolding from Meika. Rin never stopped kael, so he got a scolding too, less then kael ofcourse. As I said earlier, Kael was trying to start a flame again. In secret ofcourse, while Rin just studied quietly, occasionally glancing at his brother.
Then suddenly a spark, and then a flame. A flame formed in kaels hand, he panicked for a second before calming down, holding the flame. While Rin looked, surprised. "your doing that?" Rin asked. "y-yeah... And I'm holding it to-" Kael said, before he was interrupted by the door opening. Both Rin and Kael's hearts dropped. Turns out it was Sae (A solstice if you forgot, and their close friend.)"Kael, you do know most Nytherians can sense Nyth when it's being utilized?" Meika is gonna come in a few minutes. I'm not gonna snitch for now. So pack this up okay?" Sae said, with her arms crossed, hair to her elbows, pitch black hair and even darker eyes. "Uh- yeah okay sorry" Kael said, quickly burning the flame out.
[Rin's POV.] i smirk a little at kaels recklessness, while sae sighs, i look back to my notebook as i continue studying, feeling Sae's gaze on me for a brief moment, as she turns around, about to leave. "alrighty then, i trust you to not do this again okay, kael?" Sae says as kael nods, there was no way he was going to not to it again, im sure sae knew that too. but it didnt matter now, as sae left the room. "you should focus on your studies too kael, its pointless trying to become a nytherian right now, meika will never allow it." i said turning towards kael halfway, still on my chair, as kael sighed raising an eyebrow. "dude do you ever shut up?" kael said to me with a slightly irritaed expression. While i smirked a little, holding in a giggle. "not preferably, no."
Kael sighed once again, getting up from the floor, slopping on his bed, i glance at the clock, it was an hour or so before sunset. "Sleepy already?" i asked kael curiously while still looking at him. "nope, just bored" kael said, looking up at the blank white ceiling. most likely thinking about something. "ofcourse your bored.. just study while you can so you dont get held back, exams are in a month yknow?" i said with a neutral expression. "study this study that, do you always just study?" Kael said, i could notice the irritated tone in his voice. he was still looking up blankly.
"well damn, your choice then." i say, i was getting a little irritated at his tone, but whatever, i leaned forward, looking down and studying in my notebook. while kael layed there behind me.
[Half an hour later] [Kaels POV.]
i was eating some food since i was hungry, Rin was still studying, as usual, its annoying, he's smarter then me and it annoys me, alot. but i try to ignore it, i was about to finish my food and then go outside to hangout with some friends since i was bored, well that was an excuse id tell to everyone else, i wasnt actually going to hang out with my friends, i was going to practice my nyth in secret.
As i finish my food, i stand up. "Rin, im gonna go hang out with some friends" i say to rin, as he nods, as i step out the room, and a few minutes later leaving the Sorin Dormitory, as i sneak off to a slightly isolated place in a nearby forest, i sit down, closing my eyes, focusing on grasping my flame, and holding it. around 10 minutes later , a few sparks, but no flame, i think it was because i was surprised by the sparks, i had zoned out, i take a deep breath, focusing again, an this time, just five mintues or so later, a spark, but i was prepared, as i focus more, the sparks become constant, like a fire cracker. eventually turning into a flame. i take a deep breath, opening my eyes to look at the flame i made. i stand up. channeling the nyth in my body to my flame, the flame getting bigger, just big enough to not overgrow my hand.
[Rins POV.]
i sighed while in my chair, stretching my body, studying for so long was really getting to me now. "i should stop for now, im hungry." i thought to myself, putting my notebook and pen and the other essentials in my backpack, before standing up and stretching. it ached since i was writing for a long time, i stepped out of mine and kaels shared room, it was kinda big. since our sister was a solstice, she was payed hefty and had her own headquarters in a way. my bed was at the end of the room, at the right, kaels was at the end of the room, on the left. we both had our desks at the end of beds. and a desk and other things. our bathroom was near the entrance, to the left of the door.
i entered the Sorin Dormitary corriders, they were long and kinda empty, with a long carpet on the entire floor, and soulless paintings. i dont know what my sister (Meika) saw in them. i walk a little to the left, opening a door, i had entered the Servant dorm room, a dorm, for well servants of the Sorin Dormitory, me and kael were well acquainted with them, they made us some good food.
"Hey Miss Ena, could you cook me some food? im kinda hungry" i asked Ena, she was one of the chefs here, not the most well known, but i liked her food best. she had brown hair and was middle aged and had a son, she was also very sweet, her son was a little toddler, i would occasionally play with him. he was sleeping in his crib currently.
Ena looked up at me and smiled, "Of course i can, anything specific or should i make something of my choice? she asked me, as i thought for a moment. "nah, give me something of your choice" i said with a smile, as she nodded, standing up and walking to the door, as i stepped aside to let her go. "You can go wait in your room, does kael want anything?" She asked me.
"oh hes not here right now, hanging out with his friends since he was bored, the dude is always bored unless he's not trying to become the next solstice, like meika is gonna let that happen, and alright ill be in my dorm then!" i replied to her, as she chuckled and nodded, as i walked to mine and kaels room.
