《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 41 - So Close Yet So Far
Advertisement
Kate's Point Of View
It has been 3 days since the Academy Of The Sky was brought down, they say it will take around a year to repair and they will be changing the Headmaster to a Headmaster who will do things right, or so my father says. the damage was huge, they were able to evacuate everyone so nobody got hurt, I guess we should be thankful for that at least. I have been training with Eron and Nina since I got back. Lilian has decided to focus more on brewing potions that can apply buffs to our strength and heal us since John isn't around, I am heading to the Guild Hall every day to see if the quest is up yet. Today was my lucky day. on the Wanted Board there was a poster that I was now aiming for.
Name: ???
Power: Paper Master
Difficulty: ???
Crime: Destroying The Academy Of The Sky
Reward: 500 Gold Coins
That is a lot, I expected as much as the Academy Of The Sky was a rich academy however that is still a lot, I still want to try my hand at fighting him one more time. if he showed up I bet there will be a mountain of people waiting for him. I wonder where he will be heading this time?
John's Point Of View
I have noticed for some time however this Paper Ability is powerful, I was training Paper Weightlessness constantly even overnight and finally it evolved.
[Paper Weightlessness Advanced: you sacrifice a piece of paper and decrease your weight to that of a piece of paper, you also receive a 500% speed boost]
Yes my friends, that is a 500% speed boost, while using I almost feel like I am gliding through the air as everything else stands still. I can move so fast with this. however the best part about my training is that my Origami Summoning can now make a clone of me, I can summon a lot of things however this will be most useful. right now I am experimenting with my newest skill.
[Rune Paper: you can turn a normal piece of paper into Rune Paper, effect depends on the Rune, costs 500 Mana]
Runes can be used to make huge explosions or even my Dragon Sword, however you need to know how to use them, I am making my Clones explode right now, so now they will be usefully for fighting and useful in dying. apart from that I am working on making different Origamis and it is fun, I can make spiders, wolves, clones and doves. it is interesting all you can make by folding paper.

*Boom*
Success. I think I am now ready to invade the Academy Of The Void. or I would say that if I knew where to find the place, I know of one way however it would be hard. I would need to find some kind of map in the 3 Fists Academy...
with my mind set on most likely the worst idea I move to the 3 Fists Academy at full speed.
Nina's Point Of View
I was walking around in stealth because I don't like to be seen or talked to by anyone else other then John, I miss him, Next time I see him I will kiss him hug him never let him go till *Thump* arg. what did I walk intooo.... Paper mask, black suit.... I walked into that guy Kate mentioned.... he is worth a lot of money.... maybe if I kill him will John be proud of me?
he walked into the Library... I will go and get help... I run off and find Kieran... "Nina... I cost more then 500 gold, find someone else" Kieran said before pushing me away.... I will show him, I ran back to the library to see him looking through a bunch of books at a very fast rate. I then jump over to him and stab him... my dagger enters him before he explodes.
"What do we have here? you do realise it is impolite to sneak around and stab people in the back" the man said to me. damn him, I will kill him for that, only John can lecture me.... at the teacher, but mostly John. urg,
"Shut up, I am going to kill you and then claim your reward money for John" I said to him while getting into battle stance, he cracked a grin.
"Oh, that will require 2 things, 1, you will have to be a lot stronger, 2, you will have to not stand on trapping runes" he said to me and I immediately look down, I am in a cage, it would take a lot of destructive power to escape but I am better with stealth, damn it.
"ok then, how about me?" Eron said to the masked man from behind before engulfing him in fire. yea, you tought him not to mess with u... I look on in horror, he was surrounded by paper, it was burning away however he was left without a scratch.
"Who do you think I was talking to?" he said as he pointed down at her feet, she was also standing in trap runes. "With that I will bid good day to you, I need to pay a visit to the Academy Of The Void" He said while vanishing, leaving nothing but paper where he was. what the hell is he?

John's Point Of View
(5 minuets earlier)
I found the map I needed within the second book, I normally skip the pictures however this time I needed it. however I felt my self being watched by someone and sure enough Nina was running away for help... OH CRAP, she ran an got Kieran, I am out, I will leave some paper clones and Runes behind but I cant handle him... oh he turned her down. oh well, may as well have some fun with this, it looks like Eron overheard the conversation and is following as well. I can make do with this.
(5 Minuets Later)
that was interesting, I thought dealing with them would be harder, but no they are surprisingly lost without either me or Kate to tell them what to do. not that I mind them depending on me a bit but show some idea of how to fight, I was standing right above you on the ceiling and neither of you noticed? oh well... I had what I needed and the Academy Of The Void is in a void... you can access it from anywhere if you know your Void Runes. and I do, using this I make a portal below me and fall into the void.
Eron's Point Of View
"HELP!!!" I shouted, there has to be someone who can hear me, these trap runes wont move themselves. Nina just looked at me with a sad look. "what is it Nina?" I asked a bit concerned and she then shook her head.
"sorry, I was just thinking about John, I wonder how long it will take him to come back?" Nina said to me while sitting down and hugging her legs. "I miss him and want to see him again" Nina added with a smile.
"Don't worry, it is only some dragons, and he can respawn if he dies. nothing to worry about" I said reassuringly. however I know how she feels, I want him to come back however from what just happened I worry that I would look weak. I will train every day and get stronger to make sure I can help John when he comes back.
"Eron Look Out!!!" Nina said to me, I turned around and saw a Paper Spider in my cage. is started crawling around me and tickling me, I could hardly move I was laughing so hard, it reminded me of John and how he cheered me up when he came out the Ice Cave since I was sad that he had left me for some time, I wonder how this paper made me think of that? but before I could think any more the spider went around and tore up the Rune Paper for both me and Nina before unfolding into a few sheets of paper. "urm... what was that?" Nina asked me curiously.
"I... don't know? I thought of someone for a second while it was tickling me however I cant remember" I said honestly, I did feel better though, why would he do that since he is the enemy? or is he only after the Academies and not the people? "oh well, lets report this to Kate, she will know what to do" I said with a smile and Nina nodded....
"Let me get this straight... Nina, you tried to single handedly take down the paper masked guy and did not check the floor for runes, and then Eron jumped in right into a Rune Trap... he then used a Paper Spider to tickle Eron and then let you out of the trap while leaving no evidence of him being there??? I cant believe you" Kate said to us... ok if you put it that way it does sound a little far fetched however it did happen. however I doubt she will... damn it, what is next, we find out the Academy Of The Void is attacked and just wait to see what happens, no, I will pay the Academy Of The Void a visit and stop him there. this time I will be in my Divine Dragon form. lets see how you handle that.
John's Point Of View
The Academy Of The Void, it is the Academy that has a city around it, floating in the void, if you fall you wont ever get back up unless you can fly, I start circling the academy on a Paper Plane and plan out my next moves.
-----------------------------------------------------

The Oscillation (No Swearing)
It was an average day in Miami—then fractures in the sky appeared. A pulse from those cracks altered the population; some people's biology changed while others received magical and supernatural powers. After the chaos, the political drama ensued, followed by the discovery of portals that brought deadly creatures. They called this event "The Oscillation" and it changed Rachel's life forever. Note: I've received some feedback that people don't like the foul language. This also included my mother, she wanted me to make a cleaner version for her. So, I thought I might as well release it alongside the more explicit version. I went back and rewrote the parts that have profanity in them. ^_^7 Cover Commissioned From Likesac ^_^7
