Advertisement
The one think good about my life were dreams yeah dreams sounds dumb right but if you are locked in one place for the beginning of your life cant you help it but to dream ?
I never really had a big goal other then getting out of that prison i never really thought of what to do next when i was out of the prison but still i am not really worried all too much even thought i should be sometimes letting it go is the best mean of solution i just wait and see...but still i also cant stop thinking about everything i guess that is my habit thinking.
======================Waking Up======================
-(Phone Alarm)
-hmm
I open my eyes my sight is really durpy and i am still half asleep i rub my eyes to wake up a little bit something is shaking in my pocket.
I reach at my pocket and take out the smart phone and look at it.The alarm is set to 5 PM so its still night time.
-(yawn)
I stand up and strech my body it is dark in the room but for me it is still as if it is day light i have to get used to that i totally forgot my 5 senses got stronger they even have more uses then night vision.
I touch my body and notice that i am still wearing the jacket and jeans i feel dirty i quickly undress myself and go to the bathroom and take a quick shower while i did that i thought how funny it was that i didnt have any clue of a shower up until i read some electronic manuals that i needed to understand my smart phone i dont really fully understand how they work but i know how to use them in some extend.It was convenient to use i got shivers remembering how i used to clean my body....
It took me 15 minutes to clean myself i changed clothes as well the wardrobe a lot of clothes to choose from i choose the ones that wear easier to move in a black sleeved shirt blue jeans and a black leather hoody i choose the same shoes that i used the day before the were comfy.
I looked at the mirror my over all appearance didnt change much only my eyes were golden colored and looked as if they were shining i will without a doubt catch attention with that i really dont like people watching me now that i am thinking about it.

-(sound of a door opening)
i turned around facing the door i wasnt surprised to see the person entering i heard him 3 seconds ago before he even opened the door to this room steward.
-i see you are ready follow me then.
Steward left the room and i started following him on the way we started talking i had some more questions.
-So what am i supposed to do precisely ?
-hmm good question
he said.
he didnt turn around while talking only walking and leading me he had that kind of aura on him that said dont touch me.
-as i said you are from now on m miss cecilia's temporary bodyguard you will obey her orders and protect you will be following her around 24/7 hours a week sometimes you will guard her while making a distance sometimes you will be next to her over all you are a guard protecting the madam.
-sure i have another question you mentioned when we first met that she goes to school does that mean that she goes to a school in los angeles ?
-hmm yes she does i wanted to tell you this today but it seems like you already figured it out yourself
As he said that he turned around and grinned i kept my smile and posture.
We continued.
-so how does that change my job ?
-oh no you will still protect her but from afar madam doesnt like it when her bodyguards are close to her and personally speaking i dont think it would be good for her school life...
he muttered the last part but i still heard it.
We walked for 30 minutes the mansion was big i was glad i had a map for this building i would be lost without it.
-Now that i am thinking about it why is the ma...
-just call her cecilia
-why ?
I asked
-both of you are at the same age it would be unpleasant to talk like that...
-very well
i said and continued.
-why does cecilia need protection ? who would assault her or more precise why ?
he stopped for a second and continued walking.
-this family has a lot of branch families and allies we are a family of magicians magus for short being the top rulers over them many people want to change that resulting in hindering the family from growing we also have a lot of enemies and opposing other family's trying to overwhelm use cecilias father is a big power he is the CEO of a company that has a large influence in a lot of countries if he dies the position will switch to madam cecilia she is the only daughter and heir to the position and a vital part of it in the future.

-i understand
The job slowly sounded more and more dangerous...
As we walked down a corridor steward stopped in front of a door i gestured me to come closer and so i did.
-we have another 20 minutes until we wake up madam.
-understood.
i didnt quite get why we had to wake her up personally but i didnt make questions out of it.
I stood in front of the door next to steward it was silent almost too silent to make it awkward i figured that i should ask more thinks.
-can i ask you about the other supernatural beings or the other specialists ?
He looked at me for a moment and then back at the door.
-i guess you knowing now would be better then later seeing that madam will go to school after 2 weeks you will also go with her i first am going to explain the school its not a normal school i should say.
-why ? is it for magicians ?
-haha yeah you got it right its for magicians its the los angeles magic court school
-Magic Court ?
-I forgot you dont know out society so you wouldnt know about the court would you..
he cleared his throat and started talking.
-the court is a council of magicians that rule over a specific area in our case a city the los angeles magic council you can think of them as politicians if you want its the same think but in our case each city has its own council currently california has 2 major councils and that is los angeles and sacramento any human who posses magic can become a council member but that person has to go up in ranks to do so you have to be a powerful magician and have accomplishments that the council approves of.
I processed the information i just got and looked at steward ones again.
-now what the magic court school does is they train people with magical attribute to become full fletched magicians for the society a lot of students there come from wealthy families in which there are also the not so wealthy ones but thats not the point right now so i continue.Miss cecilia has a aptitude for magic and is considered a genius in magic her quick thinking makes her one of the smartest heads in the school...
-wait wait wait
he stopped.
-what your saying is that there is a school that trains magicians right ?
he nodded
-if it is in the city how come no one notices anything ?
He grinned and said.
-its because the school itself is hidden in the city itself...
I gave him a confused stare
-look i cant explain this to you either you will understand ones you come there.
-sure
-very well i continue
i nodded.
-like i said the cecilia is very smart for her age so many people admire her but there are also many people who well lets say dont like her that much those people can go to extreme sometimes so in which you come in.
-me ?
-yes you you defeated 80 mages and 1 grand magus it should be that of a problem for you right on top of it you use some kind of magic i dont quite understand you use something with speed or teleportation right but it seems like whenever you use it you get exhausted really fast i heard what happened yesterday from maria.
he said that while he was grinning i didnt answer him.
-dont worry i want ask you further the only i ask of you is to protect the madam when she is at school you wont need to protect her ther school is save until then you will protect her you she and your little sister will move to los angeles after 2 weeks so be prepared.
-understood
Steward looked at his watch and then back at the door and said.
-its time
And so he opened the door

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

They were bestowed with cool abilities like, [Fireball], [Heal], or [Summoning]. Some used it for the greater good, others for their own benefit. However, some had meh ability Like my sis, she had [Daily Spin] that allowed her to get a random gift every-day I knew another guy that had [Spicy Breath] spewing fire from his mouth whenever he ate something spicy As for me! i had [Mini-map] as my ability! like what the hell! seriously!? Now I’m stuck with a box on the top right that blocks 1/16 of my vision… Right, i didn't forget to mention about monster right?
