《Angel Academy》CHAPTER TWELVE
Advertisement
Once the class had finished Zack, Sylvia and I started to make our way up to my dorm room to collect the book.
We were halfway there when a loud message boomed from what seemed like everywhere.
Zack rapidly shot his hands to his ears trying to block our Mr Stonehearts defining announcement.
"What do you think that all about?" he asked dropping his hands.
"I don't know, they did mention that dragon riders were going to get mentors but I don't see why he'd call for all of us," I said turning back towards the hall.
"I guess we'll have to get the book later" voiced Sylvia looking down the corridor.
I nodded my head in agreement and we walked to the hall in silence.
It's strange, I wanted to know the prophecy, to finally know why Shade effected me the way that he did, but at the same time I was scared, because my father always told me that knowledge of the truth can be a dangerous thing as it has the ability to change us, and turn us into something that we would never dream of becoming.
We pushed open the doors and scanned the hall for our friends, I spotted Chase waving frantically in the far right corner and made my way over to him.
"I think we're finally getting mentors!" exclaimed Chase tossing Cobalt a bit of raw meat.
"Ferberno!" he shouted a little too loudly for my sensitive ears.
The dragon jumped up and singed it with his dragon fire before catching it skilfully in his mouth.
"Maybe," I said taking a seat next to him.
"How was your first angelic lesson?" asked Orpheus remembering how excited I was about it.
"Ugh don't remind me of it, I feel like I've been lifting weights with my brain" moaned Zack in response.
"That great?" he smiled pulling his attention to Zack.
"It was all good until he had us practising telekinesis" groaned Sylvia massaging her temples.
"You've gotta admit, it was pretty cool though" I laughed looking at their tired faces.
They groaned in response and Zack thumped his head on the table in between his arms.
Once the former food-filled plates were emptied, Mr Stoneheart walked up onto the stage and stood looking over the students.

"Good afternoon students!" called Mr Stonegheart gaining everyone's attention.
"I have requested that you all be here to announce some very important news" he smiled, gesturing to the house captains to join him on the stage.
Axel, Dexter, Felix and Tyler walked up and stood proudly next to him.
"Over the course of the next few weeks we will be training for... the regional games!" he announced.
Excited mumbling broke out from the crowd and Mr Stoneheart stood back to allow the captains to speak.
"Dragon Riders! four days from now your dragons will be big enough for you to ride, and a week from then they will be fully grown" called Axel silencing the crowd
"It's because of this that you will be appointed your mentors today, so please stay at the end " informed Tyler.
"You are all going to be trained twice as hard by your teachers so you will have the best chance of winning an event to gain points for your element," said Felix.
"The events are as follows..." began Axel
"General combat - This is the main event where you will fight your opponent to the death, but don't worry the school has a protective shield around the games fields that prevents you from actually dying, even if you severely break a bone or whatever it will heal almost immediately, although every spell has limits so you will feel the pain just not as strong as it would be in a real situation. Every student will participate in this event, the winner moving on each time until the last two have risen and fought each other.
There are also separate bonus classes for:
Witches - There will be a flag at the opposite end of the field and you can use any spell that you have mastered to prevent your appoint from reaching it before you, it may not sound like much but it tends to get pretty heated.
Werewolf and Vampire team games- You will use your strong abilities to your advantage to push your strengths to the limit and work as a team of the werewolves and vampires of your house to defeat you opposing groups band of werewolves and vampires.
Angels- You will undergo a series of tests against your opponent see which is the stronger and most worthy of winning the event, you will be tested both mentally and physically in the ultimate test of strength.

And finally, my personal favourite...
Dragon teams! - The goal of this game is too capture as many flags as you can form the opposing team, Each team will start off with two flags each, and two extra flags will be hidden around the field. You will have to compete to find and capture the flags off each other and the surroundings before the end of the game. If you want to apply to our 'night flyers' team then this is the perfect opportunity to apply and show off your skill." he finished looking around happily.
"If you wish to participate in any of the bonus events please sign up on the notice boards that have been placed outside the hall" Shouted Felix over the excited chatter that had filled the hall. "If anyone has a special request to compete for a different element, which sometimes happens if you haven't made any new friends, or don't feel comfortable with your teammates, please don't hesitate to speak to your regional captain" he finished with a smile.
I absorbed the information carefully, ignoring Chase who was shaking my arm excitedly. I guess it would be fun to do something for my house, besides I doubt that I would have much of a choice between Chase and Axel.
"Ok thank you all for listening, everyone apart from the dragon riders can go" bellowed Mr Stoneheart.
hundreds of people flooded out of the hall ecstatically talking about the games and the events that it held.
"See you later guys" I called, watching as Max and some of the others got up to leave.
"Bye" replied a variety of voices.
"Chase you can get off my arm now" I laughed looking at the boy who was shifting around in his seat.
He released it immediately and looked at me with bright eyes.
"This is going to be so much fun!" he exclaimed.
Verity looked at him and rolled her eyes slumping further into her chair.
"I don't understand how you can be so happy all. the. time." she complained.
Chase's face dropped slightly in thought before quickly returning back to a smile.
"It's just him" I chuckled ruffling his mousy brown hair.
"Everyone gather around this table" called Dexter pointing to the table in the centre of the room.
We got up and sat down around the table silently.
I felt a wave of the familiar electric and blocked it out, I began to realise that the effect was slowly decreasing pain wise and was just putting me on edge with a bundle of mixed emotions.
The effect intensified making my shoulder burn slightly as somebody jumped into the seat next to me and I looked left to see non-other than Shade... I guess that I spoke too soon.
"Hi princess" he smirked leaning his chin in his hands.
I glared at him and growled capturing Chases attention.
"On a nickname basis are we?" I said sarcastically "I thought that you despised me?"
"I didn't say that, now did I Princess?" he grinned.
"My name is AURORA" I shouted lacing my voice with as much venom as I could.
I was seriously contemplating morphing into my wolf right here to tear off his smug head.
Chase sensed my anger and grabbed me around the waist and without warning and yanked me over him, placing me down on his other side next to Orpheus.
"For your informa-" began Chase but was cut off.
Cobalt sprung from his shoulders and dived onto Shades chest in a lame attempt of attack.
"Cobalt! no!" he screamed ripping Cobalt from Shades shirt ripping it in the process.
Chase restrained Cobalt, who was still puffing tiny flames towards Shade and turned towards me.
I stroked Cobalts small nose to distract him from Shade and he calmed down, purring softly.
I watched as Shade shook off the shock and winked at me before drawing his attention towards the stage.
Following his gaze, I saw that a big group of people were standing there watching our drama.
"As Mr Valore's dragon perfectly demonstrated, you are in desperate need of these mentors," said Mr Stoneheart.
I looked at Chase and almost burst out laughing upon seeing his reaction to the principle using his surname.
"Anyway... the mentors are all third-year students and are very highly skilled so they will choose you" he explained.
