Chapter 11
Rhen walked out of the classroom, looking around for the girl from earlier. She continued her way out of the building, confused at how fast she lost the track of the girl. Looking around the garden, and noticed the girl, standing in the place she promised. Looking at her clothing and way of acting, she wasn't that hard to pass unnoticed.
"Hey" She said in a perky tone as she spotted Rhen. "Are you new here?" She asked, friendly.
"Yeah, I got here yesterday. What about you?" Rhen asked.
"Oh, I'm not here to study. I'm here to... take notes" The girl said, smiling. Even though she didn't seem to mean it, her last answer seemed a bit annoying to Rhen. "My name's Marine, by the way. Marine Wolfgang" She said, holding out her hand.
"Rhen Darzon" Rhen replied, shaking her hand. "Nice to meet you" She continued, making a pause. "Are you from the Western Empire, Sedona?" Rhen asked, looking once again at her clothes. Marine widened her eyes in excitement.
"Yes, actually yes, I am. What, it was the clothes or the smug attitude which betrayed me?" Marine asked jokingly, giggling.
"I think both" Rhen said, giggling herself.
A bell rang, interrupting their little happy moment. Marine rolled her eyes before they both said goodbye and split up, each taking a different path.
"Here" Marine said, opening a door. Rhen remained in awe, looking at the immense room and comparing it to her compressed little matchbox. Not mentioning that the bad was huge, the room was well proportioned with it. "They said it'll be a larger room, but I think they exaggerated."
"Uh-huh..." Rhen said as Marine closed the door.
"So, what are you going to do after you graduate?" Marine asked, sitting on the bed. Rhen came back to her senses.
"I have no idea" She said, frowning and sitting on the bed. Marine seemed to be thinking.
"So you already met...." She stopped abruptly.
"Met who?" Rhen asked, seeing that Marine isn't continuing.
"No one. I was thinking of something else" Marine said, standing up from the bed and going to the balcony. Rhen watched puzzled as she exited the room and sat on a chair in the balcony. Looking at her current state, Rhen couldn't find the match between Marine and the smug girl earlier. After several seconds, she finally asked her if she was okay. "Yeah, I'm fine... I just feel guilty for a reason..." She said, coming back in the room and taking her place on her bed. "Can you tell me more about yourself?" Marine said, her mood suddenly changing back to how it was before. Rhen looked at her confused but nodded.
Rhen started telling Marine everything that happened to her until present. Marine's mood suffered many changes as Rhen went on with the events that changed her life. Marine's ability to comment on everything, even on bad moments filled their day with laughters.
"...and in the night I slept at the inn, I had the weirdest and most terrifying nightmare." Rhen said, remembering the horrible nightmare. "It was this weird, dark place. Some sort of palace. And it was this figure sitting on a throne, talking to a guy who he was calling "a daeva" and who wore a blue armor." Marine listened carefully to what Rhen had to say, her mouth starting to open in shock. "And then, the figure called out a name... It was starting with I...In-something...Indra!" Rhen said, remembering the name as Marine's eyes started widening. "After he said that name, the water in the pond rose and took a human form. That figure called it demoness a few times" Rhen stopped from telling the story, waiting for Marine to comment on something and make her laugh. But she didn't. Her face remained in a shocked expression.
"Tell me, Rhen" She suddenly said, after several seconds of slience "Did the demoness called Indra say something?" Marine said, not changing her face expression. Rhen thought for a second.
"I remember her saying something... That all the waters around the world are keeping out an eye." Rhen said as Marine smirked. "Why?"
"Just asking." She said, still smirking and laying back on the bed. "Oh, no, the waters are spying on us!" She said, jumping up and grimacing dramatically as Rhen started laughing. Marine looked out through the balcony, her smiling face changing to a serious one.
