A week has passed since I met Nephyr and Nyad.
That day I had to sprint to the school because I was way too late, but fortunately, I made it in the nick of time. It didn't take me much time to settle into my new room since the only real difference was that we now had a television.
The school's been giving us missions since we got here, the missions varied from patrolling the perimeters of the barrier to capturing or if need be killing them.
So far, I've completed all my missions spectacularly.
Ever since then I've also been coming back to the 'Luna' to have a drink or two with Nyad and Nephyr. After getting to know them for a bit, they're quite nice people. I've also been a little distant from the others lately...I don't know why....it just feels a little awkward.
I'm especially making sure to ignore Katherine cause looking back on our conversation, I'm a little....uh....embarrassed, I made a fool out of myself. So, instead of talking to everyone like a normal person I'm ignoring them and running away just like always...
God.....I suck.
Anyways, other than all that I've also learned some new things about Rhys.
Apparently, under normal circumstances, a child between two different species was impossible but there was a one in a trillion chance that a child could be conceived, Nephyr told me that it had something to do with their mana being at the same frequency...whatever that means.
Not much is known about hybrids like Rhys and Lola, Nephyr and Nyad advised me to hide the fact that they were hybrids from the rest of the world.
I did inform Katherine right away.....through a text.
Anyways, today I was heading to Luna as usual after a perimeter sweep.
Rhys walked along with me, I slowed my pace so that his little legs would be able to keep up with me. Rhys has grown up quite a bit....it's a strange feeling, I kinda feel like a dad now. Amazingly, I haven't managed to mess him up yet.
We enter the bar and got into my usual booth, I ordered the usual and waited for Nyad and Nephyr to arrive.
" Look who it is.....if it isn't our favorite human.", Nyad says sitting down next to me.
" Geez....why are you already drunk ?", Nephyr scolded Nyad while smiling at me.
Just like that, we talk and I watch them drink on and on,
Even though I like these two, there's another reason why I come here every day. I'm trying to get information out of these two. From what I've observed till now, these two weren't just two random beastpeople hanging around a bar.
When I woke up in their room, I made sure to properly observe everything, they had weapons that were above the pay grade of mere normal people....even if I hadn't seen those, I would still suspect these two.....I already have an inkling of what exactly they're hiding but I wanted to hear it from them.
So, I've been coming here almost every day to make them drunk and careless so that one of them will have a slip of tongue and reveal something and so far my plan's been a bust but today.....today was different.
It has been close to three hours since they've started drinking,
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Nyad was already drunk and Nephyr had passed out. Today might be the day.
" I'm beat !", Nyad says putting his head down to rest but the sound of snoring vividly rang out soon.
Nyad too had passed out.
Just as I was about to question them hoping that they answer in a trance or something, Nyad murmured something.
"------s-----"
" What was that ?", I asked getting much closer to him.
" Don't worry....your big brother's coming to save you...Neela."
Hearing him, a small grin spread across my face,
'It's just like I thought....'
I carry an already asleep Rhys on my shoulder and head back to Unity.

Two days have passed since I confirmed why exactly those two were here.
I had prepared thoroughly for what was about to come, I also went to the doctor and had multiple tests. The results came yesterday and it seems that I'm completely fine, but I knew what happened to me that day....my skill hurt me...somehow. For now, all I could do was not use [Hell Fire] unless it's absolutely necessary.
I was heading to the staff room since Din- I mean Miss Domino had called for me, I'm a little anxious, I haven't spoken to her since I came out of that portal.
Entering the staff room, I'm surprised to see a few others were there as well, I join them.
Domino gave me a small smile and started speaking immediately,
" All of you have been chosen to do a joint mission, I've chosen all of you because I think you're the most competent within your class. your mission is to stop a slave auction-----"
I listened carefully as Domino finished briefing us on our mission.
"--- you'll be given two days to prepare yourself....so please do so."
I knew this already, I'm glad that I made it to the list, now all I had to do was wait...
After briefing us, Domino dismissed us and I started heading back but just then-
" Could you stay back for a bit, Adam ?" Dina asked gently smiling at me.
" Sure...",
I have a bad feeling about this.
