《Immortal》Chapter 4

-" An immortal?" [Athalia]
-" That's right." [Ricky]
I crossed my arms and started to think about this.
-" So where is this new Immortal? Name? Age?" [Phillipe]
Ricky coughed a bit and picked up some papers out of nowhere.
-" Name Zander Hion, Age 22. Turned an Immortal two months ago. I didn't investigate him further but I hear he is working as a teacher in Qia Academy, in Kios Kingdom.
He comes from a low noble family, genius at cultivating etc etc."[Ricky]
I put a hand on my chin. He has great potential and works as a teacher? Is he dumb or he really likes that job?
-" So who volunteers to visit our new partner?" [Ricky]
Everyone put on a complicated look.
-" I have stuff to do." [Aya]
Of course she has, like going around buying expensive jewelry and clothes.
-" Me and Ricky can't too because, uhm you know..." [Margaret]
I nodded. Still think it was a foolish idea but I wouldn't mind see their baby one day.
I looked at Phillipe expecting something. He just begun to scratch the back of his neck and smiled faintly.
He didn't even need to talk. I already knew he wouldn't have time or some shit.
I sighed.
-" I suppose I will go." [Athalia]
We all nodded and got out of there some goodbyes were heard other weren't.
I didn't want to wait much time on this. Wait it doesn't really matter.
I opened my inventory and picked my golden ring. It hold the power to hide my cultivation to make it easier to walk around.
I was about to fly out of here when I felt something. An excruciating pain hit me. My chest hurt like hell.
I dropped to my knees and Phillipe ran to me gripping my shoulders.
I glared at him and clenched my teeth.
-" Let go." [Athalia]
He quickly let go of my shoulders and looked at me with a worried face.
I relaxed a bit and focused on my breathing. After a bit the pain stopped but it still hurt, just a bit.
I should've expect this I knew it would come back, sooner or later.
I quickly got out of there and headed to my destination.
~ Two days later
Kios Kingdom, Qia Academy
Huff. Finally I reached this bloody kingdom. Why is the Human continent so large?
I should just visit the Elven Kingdom and meet my race. Never had the time since I was always cultivating. I guess I deserve some vocations.

It was night time so the school was closed, obviously. But I would have a talk with the director.
Who would've have thought the child I saved fifty years ago when I was reaching the mountains turned into the headmaster of one of the most prestigious academy's?
The streets were calm but at the same time people knew that danger was always around. After passing by some drunk people and punching some guys I finally reached the Academy.
The gates protecting it were tall and I could feel a barrier around the school.
I walked around the school and finally catched a glimpse of an open window. The lights were on and I could see someone sitting on a chair.
I quickly jumped from the ground and went in the school breakig the barrier. No alarm gave off but I knew he noticed.
I gripped the window and carefully went in the office. Noticing my presence he turned towards me surprised by my sudden appearing.
When he looked at me he widen his eyes.
"- Aunty?" [ Headmaster/Urikes ]
I smacked the back of his head and glared at him.
-" Who are you calling aunty you brat?! For you it's Lady Athalia." [Athalia]
His cheeks flushed. He lightly bowed and apologized.
I sat in the chair in front of his desk and crossed my legs.
-" So.. Lady Athalia I suppose it was you who broke the barrier." [Urikes]
-" Yeah, it's crappy you know. You should get a new one." [Athalia]
He nodded.
-" After so many years... What are you doing here?" [Urikes]
-" My, My someone is busy. I guess I will talk." [Athalia]
He looked at me expecting the words to go out of my mouth. I looked at him. He's hair wasn't the brown it used to it was now grey and white and his face was full of wrinkles.
Old age.
-" I want to have a talk with one of your teachers, Zander Hion." [Athalia]
He raised an eyebrow.
-" Did he do something? I think he is a nice guy." [Urikes]
It looks like he didn't notice he is an Immortal now. Strange.
-" Doesn't matter, I want to meet him." [Athalia]
-" Well, tomorrow his classes start in the morning so he usually comes earlier. I guess you could head here in the morning and I could call him to the office. [Urikes]

I nodded in agreement.
-" Alright see you tomorrow." [Athalia]
~Next Day
Zander's POV
I rubbed my eyes from the lack of sleep the earlier night. My girlfriend kept nagging me saying I wasn't givig her the needed attention and saying I was betraying her.
Seriously why is she such a drama Queen.
I had to get ready to classes. While dressing up I started to think about my life.
Working hard really gave me somethig. At such an young age I'm proud to be an Immortal.
Even if I'm not as great as the first Immortal, who reached immortality at twenty years old.
I idolize her, even if I don't know her name, nor how she looks, I know that are books talking about her but they were extremely expensive and I never learned anything about her besides that little information. They talked about her on school but not many knew her name.
I shook my head and looked my self again in the mirror. I had dark blue hair, brown eyes almost black and a handsome face. Not being narcissistic here, ok?
I put my ring on to hide my cultivation. It was troublesome to walk around the school and people looking at you or treating you a different way just because you are Immortal.
As a kid I always liked to learn and as such I wanted to teach others. So it was always a dream of mine.
After walking for a bit ,buying a warm bread and eating it I reached the school.
I showed the guards my card and they let me in.
As I was walking around the campus I heard my name being called.
-" Zander!" [???]
I turned around to see a tired man. He was Nicholas a fellow teacher. I guess you could say we were good friends. He had brown eyes and brown hair and had round glasses.
He was trying to catch his breath.
-" T-the director called you at his office. And there is an extreme beauty with him! I can die peacefully now!" [Nicholas]
I looked at him surprised. The director wanted to talk with me? And a beauty? What kind of beauty? More than Jasmine? (My girlfriend).
I thanked him and quickly headed to the director's office. I knocked on the door and waited.
-" Come in." [Urikes]
I opened the door and went inside. What I saw made me wide eyed. The headmaster was standing up while a BREATHTAKING beauty was sitting on his favorite chair with her legs on the desk.
I just saw a goddess. Her cold yet mesmerizing blue eyes and that black hair... Damn.
-" Urikes. Shoo Shoo." [Athalia]
The women just waved her hand shooing the headmaster! And called him by his name?
Headmaster quickly got out of the room but not before whisperig me something.
-" Be careful, she can be a demon." [Urikes]
And then the door closed an it eas just the two of us. I loudly gulped. She was at the eight stage of Heaven's Realm yet why was I feeling such a pressure coming from her?
She looked at me with a blank face and after a great silence she finally spoke.
-" You can drop the act." [Athalia]
At first I was confused but then she removed a ring she was using. It was identical to mine but hers was made of pure gold and mine was only silver.
I almost dropped to my knees when her aura was realised.
God Realm! I truly am meeting a goddess.
I didn't want to disrespect her so I quickly removed my ring showing my 1st Stage Immortal Realm aura.
-" So, it's a pleasure to meet a new Immortal. I'm here representing the other too and ... Bah forget it I'm not good with speeches." [Athalia]
How did they discover me? I was careful.
-" You must be wondering how we discovered you well it was Ricky. I had no time to search so... Now getting to the real point! You will now start to attend the council meetings when needed. " [Athalia]
Me? Meeting other fellow immortals? I'm going to fail so bad.
-" Well I'm done here. I will contact you when the time comes. If you need something, just call me with a crystal ball." [Athalia]
She said as she grabbed a pen
and paper and wrote her number.
I looked at the paper excited. She was about to go away but I needed to ask her something.
-" Wait, what is your name?" [Zander]
She made a hurt look.
-" Does no one recognize me in this world? Well record my name well boy. 1st Immortal, Athalia Vélios." [Athalia]
And then she vanished like wind.
I just met my idol.
And I can't stop thinking about her.

Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
