57 The Feeling of Aftermath
But then all of a sudden, the sound of an arrow firing in our direction made freeze in my place. It was then I heard a loud thud as the arrow hit the ground next to . An explosion of dirt splashed through the cave, as a huge man ca falling through it right next to with his eyes wide open as he fell onto the floor on top of .
The sound of footsteps were coming closer and closer, so I quickly stood up as I saw more explosions of dirt fly towards as I saw two n co into the cave from different sides. The dirt explosion continue to brew, until I saw sothing fly in my direction from out of the cave and hit the wall behind .
I quickly turned around to see what it was as I saw the large man who had fallen on top of being hit by three arrows right in his stomach and chest area. I quickly rolled out of the way, but suddenly a large explosion happened behind and I rolled forward on my hands and knees as the ground began to shake under .
I stood up quickly as I looked towards where Malachi was fighting, but all I could see was darkness with bright flashes of lightening around the area.
And soon enough, the whole sky went white and I couldn’t see anything as I closed my eyes, and the dirt dressed on top of .
My eyes clicked open, only seeing the dirt in my eyes.
What happened?
Was it a bad dream?
Did I lose?
.....
But no, I could see sun above my head and there was nothing around . I felt around for my wand but couldn’t find it anywhere, but then suddenly it felt like sothing grabbed onto my shoulder and pulled back up on my feet.
I tried to see who it was, but from what I saw, it looked like Tisiah.
“Goodness sakes, what happened?” I asked, looking around. No one was there, except a bunch of piles of dust all over the place.
I felt around for my wand and finally found it laying on the ground next to with my wand in its place. My wand was completely broken into pieces and was lying there on the floor with shards of wood sticking out from its handle.
I sighed in relief when I saw that my wand was okay and still functional even though it was broken. It felt good to use one, although they weren’t exactly real.
“So is anyone else still alive?” I asked, confused and looking around. The sky was bright morning, but it seed as if the entire place was just dead. Then all of a sudden, we felt the ground open up, and descend us down.
I found myself dumbfounded at what I saw. It looked like so sort of hospital, as every single contestnant was just in a bed, with their eyes shut closed.
“What,” I muttered, as we began to pass by the different people’s beds, “Is this place?”
Suddenly we heard footsteps behind us, and we turned around, seeing Mr. Drails walk towards us in a proud expression. “Hello winners,” he said, “You survived.”
“We won?!” I shouted, with surprise and shock rolling over in my head.
“Yes,” Mr. Drails said, with a calming smile. “Good job.”
I sighed, but still felt confused.
“You guys should go ho now,” he said, as he began walking towards a different direction. Shock and amazent just ca over , and I felt such a feeling in my heart that just made smile.
I didn’t think we were actually able to do it, not at all. In fact, I expected us to lose in the first few minutes of the round.
I guess I was wrong, luckily.
“Wow, we actually did it,” Tisiah said.
“We did it,” I said, “We beat Malachi and his team.”
Then, Tisiah looked at with sincere eyes and said, “Thank you for being a very good teammate.” He nodded, as he looked towards the other mbers of our team who were laying on the bed, unconscious.
“Your welco,” I said, as I looked towards them. I saw that they were all fine, except for one person who was lying on the bed, who had a very bad injury on their arm.
“Alright, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, in class,” Tisiah said, as we started to walk out of the room.
I nodded as we went towards the door, but all of a sudden Tisiah stopped and looked towards and smiled. I nodded back and he walked out of the door, as a portal manifested and sucked in him. I could only just smile, knowing that we were safe from Malachi’s attack for now on.
I slowly walked out of the room myself, as I began to feel tired and sleepy. This was just exhausting, super exhuasted from all the fighting we just had to do against Malachi and his team. A portal then summoned up, and I walked through, arriving ho before I realized it.
I quickly put my wand back in my utility belt and showed up ho, where my mom was already awake and sitting at the table, eating a bowl of cereal.
“Hey sweetie,” she said, looking up at . “How has your day been, so far?”
“Great, thanks, mom,” I said, as I sat down on the chair across from her. She nodded, as she started to eat her cereal again. “Hey, listen, um, there’s sothing that I want you to listen okay?”
“Uh, okay.”
“Yeah, um, I was thinking you should sign off the chess club you’re in,” she revealed with a sigh, as she took another spoonful of her cereal. “Your finals is coming up and I want you focus on your classes, okay?”
I sighed, as she turned her head and looked at . This is bad, like really bad. The chess club was the excuse needed to go to the YMPA, and now that she’s gonna kick out of it...
“Fine,” I said with a sigh. “I’ll think about it.”
“There’s no any ‘think about it’, okay?” she said with a stern voice and a serious face. “I know you’re really good at it, but you know, it’s not helping with your actual classes, so you should really focus more on those classes and forget for now.”
“Well I really like chess club, but yeah sure,” I said with a smile.
“Good,” she said.
“Okay well, I should get going,” she said. She stood up from her chair and walked towards , wrapping her arms around tightly. “Make sure to do well on your finals, okay?”
I nodded and smiled, as she pulled into a hug.
I was about to say goodbye, but then she kissed my cheek before she let go of and left the house with a smile. I sighed in worry, as she walked towards her car that was parked outside of our ho.
I quickly went to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee and drank it while I thought about what had just happened. That was the only way I could still stay as a spy mage, because there was no actual chess club. Now how am I gonna explain this to Mr. Drails?
I shook my head from my worries and headed towards the bathroom, as I looked in the mirror and saw my hair all ssy from my fight with Malachi yesterday. Then I looked back into my eyes, which were full of fatigue and tiredness.
I must’ve been beat down bad or sothing, because I didn’t rember ever being this tired in all of my life. I sighed as I went to my room, put on my pajamas and climbed into bed. I looked at the clock and saw that it was only 8pm in the evening.
Figures.
This whole day or whatever it was, was the last thing I wanted to think of it, but there was nothing else that I could do at the mont. So I just laid on my bed and tried to sleep before the morning ca.
Preview:
It was the next day, and it was of course Saturday, but I was feeling way worse than I was wanting to feel. I was taking my shower, and I just felt angry. I ate breakfast, and I just felt angry. I prepared to go to the YMPA, and I still felt angry.
I’m not sure why though. It made even angrier that there was no reason why I was mad, I was just mad. Once I got sent to YMPA, I saw Mr. Drails standing there, waiting for to co.
“Hello, Connor,” he welcod with a smile.
“Hello, Mr. Drails,” I said with a nod. His smile was very “out there” and it was starting to get creepy.
As I prepared to enter the building, Mr. Drails quickly stopped with his hands. “No need to rush now, just make sure you breathe in all the cheering alright. Be normal okay?”
“Why is this a pep talk?”
“Trust , you’ll see.”
