Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 12: Sacred Children
We arrive at the Irtha Legend College at 20:00. Now there are a few students and teachers around the school since most of them are staying at the dormitory.
"This school is a lot bigger than I thought." Terrus says.
"This is the biggest school in Irtha, so it must be very big." Maxnet says.
"Then, what to do next?" I ask. (I am Soryl.)
After I finish saying, a Pokemon in the human form appears and walks up to us.
"Are you the mercenary group that is hired by principal Togekiss?" She asks with her calm voice.
"Yes." Maxnet says.
"My name is Glacia the Aurorus, the school's President of Student. Principal Togekiss wants to have a word with you. Please follow me." She says.
We follow Glacia through the school. Some students and teachers look at us with their surprise reaction. Hm… It isn't strange.
Every time we reach the new place, people will look at us in surprise face because our mercenary group consists of three strange Pokemon.
Maxnet, the leader of our group, is an Aggron, a very ferocious and territorial Pokemon, but Maxnet is quite calm compare to other Aggron.
I, Soryl the Aerodactyl, am the prehistoric Pokemon. My specie had become extinct since several millenniums ago, only a few that still living until today.
And the last one, Terrus the Garchomp, the Earthbound Dragon, he is the dragon type Pokemon. Normally, dragon type Pokemon is arrogant and racist toward other types, so they usually live in their own kingdom, which I don't know where is it. Unlike other dragons, Terrus isn't arrogant or racist, on the other hand, he hates when everyone states that he is a dragon type Pokemon. He also hates when people that isn't Maxnet and I calls him Earthbound Dragon. He says that if he has to choose between ground and dragon, he will choose the ground type Pokemon over the dragon type Pokemon.
Glacia brings us to the principal room, where a Togekiss is waiting for us there.
"Good evening, mercenaries." Togekiss greets.
"Good evening, principle Togekiss." Maxnet says.
After finish greeting and introduction, Togekiss turns his attention to Glacia.
"Glacia, please bring them to this room."
"As you wish." Glacia says and about to walks out of the room when Terrus calls her.
"Hey… lass… If you don't mind, get me a pile of soil in this school for me."
"Hm?" Glacia says and looks at Terrus.
"Hey! Terrus! This isn't the time to eat!" I yell at him.
"Shut up." Terrus says. I have to obey his command. Usually, Terrus will not tell me anything like this unless he is very serious about something.
"OK if you want to." Glacia says and walks out of the room.
"Let's turn back to our business." Togekiss says.
"So, tell me about the Sacred Children. Do they truly exist?" Maxnet asks.
-Meanwhile…
Now it is the midnight, everyone is sleeping in the dormitories… except…
After seeing that everyone is sleeping, Jedi, Ordin and Nardal left their room and went back to the school zone. Ellisk is also forced to go with them too.
"Don't worry, most Pokemon in this school are such a weakling, we don't have anyone that can catch us." Nardal says when he sees that Ellisk doesn't want to go with them.
"We will never get caught by anyone…" Jedi says.
"Yes, unless Glacia appeared in front of us." Ordin says.
"She is such a xxxxxxxxxxx." Jedi says. His word makes everyone (Except Ellisk.) laughs.
But then, the mist appears from nowhere and surrounds them!
"Uh oh!" Jedi says.
"What is this mist?" Ordin asks.
"She is coming! We must escape!" Nardal says.
Four students run through the school while trying to flee from the mysterious mist, but the mist seems to follow them.
"Do you think that she is following us?!" Nardal asks while running.
"How can she know that we escape from the dorm?" Ordin asks.
"Let's go back to the dorm first!" Ellisk says, but…
"You can't."
Ellisk, Jedi, Ordin and Nardal stop when they hear the voice before the owner of the voice appears from the mist.
"Ow…" Nardal mumbles.
"Rule 21, all students must stay at the dormitory at the time pass 22:00. Now it is 00:00. Do you have any reason to leave your dormitory after 22:00?" Glacia asks.
"We just want to find some "fun" in the school." Ordin answers.
"… You are lucky, if I caught you in this circumstance, I will send you to the…" Glacia says, but Ellisk interrupts her.
"What is our punishment? Split it out! Don't waste our time with your stupid talking!" Ellisk says. His word makes Glacia, Jedi, Ordin and Nardal become surprise, because they had never seen Ellisk becomes like this before!
"… Follow me, the principal wishes meet all of you." Glacia says and starts walking. Four students follow her.
"Um… Ellisk, what had gotten into you?" Ordin asks.
"… The next time that you do something like this, I will not going with you, even if you stab your weapon through my heart." Ellisk answers without looking at Ordin.
-Back to the Principal Room
"So, what do you think? Will you do this work for us?" Principal Togekiss asks.
"I need to know the thought of my teammates first." Maxnet says.
"Hey! This work is really something! It may cost us our life! But this is something that I want! I haven't received much challenge lately!" I answer.
"… The earth shall tell me everything." Terrus says.
After Terrus finishes saying, Glacia returns with four students at the same age as Terrus and I.
Glacia walks up to Terrus and gives him a pile of soil, and then she turns her attention to the Principal.
"I brought them to you as you command."
"Thank you, Glacia." Principal Togekiss says before he turns his attention to four students.
"Welcome, Mr. Jedi the Sceptile, Mr. Ordin the Charizard, Mr. Nardal the Feraligatr and Mr. Ellisk the Heliolisk, I am sorry for calling you at the time like this, but I have a very important request for you." Togekiss says.
"What do you want from rogues like us?" The Charizard named Ordin asks.
"…Have you ever heard the legend of the Sacred Children?" Togekiss asks.
"Yes." The Sceptile named Jedi answers.
"But it is just the legend, isn't it?" A Feraligatr named Nardal says.
"No… This legend is true." Togekiss says. His word shocks four students.
"… How do you prove it?" The Heliolisk named Ellisk asks with a scary voice.
"Because my ancestor had possessed the knowledge of this legend, and I am holding it." Togekiss says and shows them the ancient book that describes the legend of Sacred Children.
"… I have never thought that this legend is true." Nardal says.
"Then?" Jedi asks.
"Now this is the last year of Irtha, so we need the Sacred Children to find the new world for us to live." Togekiss says.
"Hm? Don't tell me that…" Ordin says.
"… I want four of you to be the Sacred Children." Togekiss says.
