After a long break on which I had focused on other projects, I present you with the next part of Prismaura Academy. Hope you remember how the last past ended cause that's where we're picking up from
Arthur, Ty, and Silvia enjoyed themselves at the cafe while talking about Ty's and Arthur's antics from the past. The weather was pretty nice for winter, but some time later it started snowing.
Ty: oops! he looked outside Looks like I hafta go bro. It's one long ride till home and the boys need their leader.
Arthur: No problem, Ty. Make sure you arrive in one piece.
Ty: Will do. See ya 'round. It was meeting ya as well, Sil.
Silvia: Same.
Ty: Make sure to call and not wait months again! and with that, he left.
Silvia: So what now?
Arthur: I am curious about my old place. Last time I saw it it was on fire.
Silvia: Oh she remembered that day I see...
Arthur: Don't worry...It'll be alright. Not like the church is still lurking around.
Silvia: You mean Lili?
Arthur: Yes. I doubt the church would spend that much time lurking around, so let's just go before the weather outside gets worse to the point where we would need a shovel.
Silvia: Very well.
And with that, they paid for their pie and tea and left. They were heading for Arthur's old apartment which was most likely damaged to the point of no repair.
They were outside trying to walk through the snow.
Silvia: It sure is colder than the barrier. she was not used to the cold since it is eternal spring inside the barrier.
Arthur: I have to agree, but it is still a gentle winter compared to the ones I had to face when I was younger.
Silvia: I guess you did live a long time on the street.
Arthur: No idea- his words were cut off by the sight of a rather familiar face. But no a too pleasant one.
Silvia: Is that? she looked at it No way!
Arthur: You have to be kidding me...
Lili: huh? she turned around and saw the 2 Arthur and Silvia? Is that you? she went to them
Silvia: It is us! she smiled at her
Arthur: Hey...he tried keeping eye contact to a minimum due to Lili's "Work"
Lili: What is it with you here?
Silvia: Well...she blushed and looked at Arthur We are kinda on a-
Lili: Date? she cut her off
Silvia: Y-yeah.
Lili: I knew it! I knew it you 2 had something back then!
Arthur: Truth be told we only recently became official. So you were also wrong at the time.
Lili: I was right in the end had I not?
Silvia: Yeah...But anyway. What is it with you here?
Lili: Sorry darling, but I cannot talk. Secret stuff, you see.
Arthur: -Secret my ass- he knew what she was hiding I take working for the church takes more than spreading the word of our Lord and savior?
Lili: I guess you could put it like that.
Silvia: So you've been in the city since we last saw you?
Lili: Ye- wait a minute she just remembered What about you? Where have you been gone too?
Arthur: You see...My place caught fire.
Silvia: Yeah...
Lili: Oh my. I also remember you telling me about Silvia's situation. Where have you been living then?
Silvia: Actually. Arthur over here managed to fix my family issues. she tried lying to make up a story, but that is not a strong suit of her
Arthur: -Leave it to me- cough cough You see. Her father was like, a big asshole.
Lili: And?
Arthur: It was not even her real dad. Just some step-thrash that wanted her money, so I had to do some digging and stuff like that to get to his weak spot, and when I did the next thing he saw was a bag and a kick in the ass.
Lili: I take it to you someone managed to kick him out of his own house?
Arthur: Got him arrested actually...he looked at Silvia
Silvia: -I see..- she lowered her eyes He was...
Lili: she saw Silvia's reaction to this and immediately figured out what happened. Even tho it was all mostly a lie No need to tell me! I understand. You poor soul...
Silvia: Yeah...
Lili: You recovered your house then?
Arthur: That is also where I am living now.
Lili: Oh? I see...she was somehow disturbed by this
Arthur: Is there a problem?
Lili: Not really. But I am happy to hear you managed to fix things up.
Silvia: Yeah.
Lili: Say...I know you are on a date and all that, but would you mind walking around with me? It can get boring to just roam around the streets like this.
Arthur: I don't think-
Silvia: Sure! she cut Arthur off
Arthur: Hey!
Silvia: Zip it! You got to reconnect with Ty, now it is my turn. she smiled at him slyly
Arthur: When did you learn to bargain?
Silvia: I had a good teacher.
Arthur: he smiled sigh I guess it is only fair.
Lili: Great! Let us go then.
And with that, they started walking around. Lili and Silvia were talking the whole time while Arthur was walking behind them. The city was truly beautiful during winter, the streets were decorated with lights and even the store owners decorated their shops in their own way. But life can sometimes be harsh.
As they were walking they heard a small cry coming from an alley and found a child, not older than 8, crying next to a trash can. Lili immediately went to him.
Silvia: Poo kid...Maybe he is an orphan?
Arthur: Ye- his words were cut off when he noticed that the kid smiled while crying Shit! Lili!
Lili: Huh? as she lowered herself to wipe the child's tears, the kid grabbed her arm and yelled.
Child: Come on, boys!
multiple goons with knives and even 2 of them holding small guns appeared. Arthur quickly grabbed Silvia and hid behind the corner.
Silvia: What is happening?
Arthur: A bait...
Lili: What is this?
Men: Do not worry your pretty face about it. he was smiling while looking at her
One of them went to her and did a body check while another was holding her
Men 2: She had only 2 handguns, Boss!
Men: Really? Don't you know you should carry 3-
in the next moment, Lili kicked him in the face with her foot
Men: he wiped his nose which was now bleeding YOU BITCH! he tried stabbing her
Silvia: We have to- AHHH! Arthur rushed using his magic at them
Men: What? in the next second his knife was frozen solid
Lili: Arthur? she was shocked
Arthur: He was quiet. He caught the knife and froze, but why do this? Lili is from the church, she will report him ! That kid...Which one of you is his father?
Men: I am. Got a problem? - in the next second the ice grew on his hand What the?!
Arthur: You use your kid as human bait?
Men 2&3: BOSS! They tried jumping at Arthur but their feet got froze on the spot
Lili: This is...
Arthur: Go. To. HELL! In the next couple of seconds, he froze each and every one of them solid
Lili: She collapsed on the ground and looked at Arthur with a confused look Arthur...you're-
Arthur: A devil, so what?
Lili: You...she clenched her fist and pulled out a small knife from her shoe GAHHH! she tried stabbing him
Silvia: STOP! she used her magic as well and stopped Lili by grabbing her hand PLease...We're not your enemy.
Lili: You too, Silvia?
Silvia: Please, hear us out. We are not the monsters you think we are.
Lili: How? Just look at this place! He trapped them in ice!
Arthur: The child is safe he grabbed him from behind the dumpster
Child: Let me go! he was struggling
Lili: Don't hurt him!
Arthur: Tell me, kid. Was your father using you as bait?
Child: LET ME GO-
Arthur: Was he beating you if you said no?
Child: he went silent What do you care?!
Lili: she was watching confused What is...
Silvia: See.
Arthur: he got his phone out Hey, Ty. Art here. Listen, man, I kinda ran into a baiter. Yeah, I got him right here. Is Maria's orphanage still doing good? Great. he hanged up Good news, kid. I got you a place to stay and your father cannot do a single thing about it.
Child: What?
A car arrived, it had an eagle painted on the side
Lili: The eagle gang?
Silvia: Arthur is a big shot among them...Ex-founder.
Lili: What did he?
Arthur: Stuff like this began to happen when a goon is left with a child in care. They use their own children to draw people with big hearts and rob them. I talked with Ty, this kid will be put in an orphanage under the eagle's care and if his so called father tried anything he will be chased away with the AK.
The child was put into a car and went away
Lili: she backed away from them Why?
Silvia: What do you mean?
Lili: All my life I've been told to watch out for the devils...Creatures like humans that can control the element and modify the face of the stone. And now you save a mistreated child?
Arthur: Like it or not this is the truth. You and your whole church are living one big lie.
Lili: she fell on her knees Shut up...It can't be true!
Silvia: Lili-
Lili: Stay away! If that is true then...We've been killing innocent people!
Silvia: Lili...
Arthur: Not all of us are innocent, but you get the idea. You have been hunting us like the plague and exterminating us, and for what? A God that says so?
Lili: SHUT UP!
Arthur: Make me! We are living in fear. Each and everyone one of us, and many of us lost their families to the church.
Lili: Why don't you just try to fix things then? With those powers, you could-
Arthur: No.
Lili: What?
Arthur: If we use our magic to force you to accept us then we will be less then what you are making us.
Lili: she slowly got up I have to go...
Silvia: Lili...
Lili: You don't have to worry about me reporting you...From where I stand not devils saved me.
Arthur: But who?
Lili: How do you call yourself?
Arthur: magic users.
Lili: That was not what saved me either. But 2 humans.
Arthur: he was surprised by her words, but then smiled Very well.
Silvia: she looked at the time Oh no...
Arthur: What is it?
Silvia: Its almost 18 PM and the gate is still far.
Lili: Gate? What do you mean?
Arthur: Sorry, but we can not trust you. Know that there is just a place where young magic users train their powers and learn to control them.
Silvia: Let's go!
Arthur: Right! That butler will kill me! hafta fly, Lili!.
And with that Arthur and Silvia jumped upwars and dissapeared , leaving behind multiple ice statues and Lili which was pretty shaken up
Lili: What...she grabbed the cross arond her neck Have we benn doing?
