Lightly opening my eyes to the splendour of the morning ray and the gorgeous singing of birds, the atmosphere within this room has never been better. Given that this is a morning, I should be more annoyed than happy and why is that? Ahh...

"Henrieta my darling, time to arise."

A single line...and the peaceful atmosphere within the room shakes greatly, and it seems like I also spun slightly. Just how does he do it? Even though he is saying the words in the most passionate and caring tone, I for some reason can only hear the howl of a demonized goat. My Dad is stupid. Stupid Hearald.

"I have woken!" I felt as if another calling would sound out through the house if I stalled any longer in my reply.

Quickly...I dress myself in the fastest manner so that Stupid won't find any reason to open his loud mouth. I took a fleeting glance at the bow that was left under my bed, which improved my mood by a lot, because not taking the bow can only mean that I won't be spending a lot of time with Stupid.

I will be spending my time today with the silly girls and weak boys, along with a nightingale that can fly through the sky in a blink!

I felt the goosebumps upon my skin as I flew down the stairs, like a nightingale in the dark of night, taking my dagger to plunge within the stomach of my foe and claim his loot as my own!

"Darling, I know you are excited about your first training lesson with the nightingale, but please don't butcher your fo-food...never mind." Ha! My glare that is of a mystified and godly nightingale-in-training takes the breath away from thee ghostly presence in front of me.

Now shut thee mouth dumb ghost, let me take this loot and make it mine.

"Slow down a little, the food will not disappear." Thee ghost still bothers this goddess of a nightingale...I should show him my moves when I come back after learning from the higher ups.

I get up off my chair and race to the door, only to be dragged to the ground due to losing my balance.

"Henrieta where are you running so fast?" I am thrown back into a chair as the ghost stands tall in front of me.

"Now, I will talk some sense for what to do..."Dad then proceeded to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk..."Finally, I should tell you..." then continued to talk more, and more, and more.

He only ended it when a nightingale personally came to pick me up, and could you believe it! He even tried to stop the nightingale in order to talk more nonsense!

...I really want to jump off a cliff right now.

The nightingale brought me to the group of familiar faces along with a cloaked woman with rags darker than the other nightingale and also the night, it even seemed like light was absorbed directly by the cloak. Clearly, this showcased her power and standing within the nightingale band. After most of the boys and girls around my age were brought to the cloaked woman, we proceeded towards the forest in the south that we were not allowed to enter.
