He appeared to be six-five and skinny, but looked like he was hiding muscles under his professional attire – baby blue dress shirt, black pants and black dress shoes. His hair was tied in a ponytail, a few strands falling to his side due to the shortness of the silver-white locks.
His shirt matched those vivid bright blue eyes which held wisdom as he concentrated on the conversation, his crossed arms rested on his chest.
We had yet to be properly introduced. Both of them listened to the discussion, not adding in any of their opinions or thoughts.
The current game plan involved Kai teleporting Winterlya and Karen to Heila in preparation for our checkup and clearance into Heila. It was standard procedure for most realms and even with our ranks, we couldn’t escape such rules.
Kai would return and teleport Makoto, Elias and Daniel, leaving Ryder and I behind to finalize things. We would be taking the slower route to Heila, which would be less than a day thanks to booking the transportation ship ahead of time.
We’d get our medical scans and regroup with the others, before going directly to the castle. Kai had used his foresight every hour to ensure the future remained clear. He had seen nothing getting in our way and Leo’s exam would go smoothly. Even though we all despised Leo, including Ryder, at least he’d pass and be one step closer to becoming a knight, even if he would be a lousy one.
Leo’s exam was in less than an hour. Makoto, Eli and Daniel would be heading to the exam by now. There was no way for EliaseAnne to take her place; due to the fact the headmaster knew they were the same person and EliaseAnne was a spirit – the exam policy emphasized no spirit usage was allowed.
“I guess that’s it. I have another meeting with the headmaster before we get ready. I’ll—” Ryder began, but froze, his body flinched before his eyes glazed over and he fell forward.
“Ryder!” All of us called out.
Vincent caught him before he hit the ground.
Karen was already next to him, helping Vincent turn him over to rest on his back as her eyes emitted a strong, gold light and her hand pressed against his chest.
My eyes locked with Kai’s amber ones. Only one thing could cause Ryder to blackout.
“Daniel.”
“Sensory overload. He’ll be awake once his senses stabilize. What’s wrong with Daniel? Ryder hasn’t had a reaction like this since you guys were teens,” Karen complained.
“Give us a minute to find out.” I opened our knight bond, the feeling of regret hitting me so hard I flinched.
Fuck.
“Daniel! Calm the fuck down! You knocked Ryder out!”I yelled through our bond.
“Shit! Is Ryder okay? Did anyone see?”Eli’s voice was a pitch higher, worrying me.
“No one saw. He was about to leave to see the headmaster when he passed out. Karen and Winterlya are here. Elyion why is your voice so high?” Kai questioned.
“Um...Midnight and Daniel got into an argument and she stormed out...after kissing me,”she revealed.
There was a moment of silence.
“Daniel,”Kai called out again.
His voice held no emotion, but power.
I knew Daniel would be in deep shit, if he didn’t reply to the phoenix’s liking.
“Sorry. The words left me before I could stop. Give me a moment.” His low voice was filled with sorrow.
Kai and I sighed in relief; the pressure that hit us at full blast dulled.
Ryder let out a groan, struggling to move.
“Easy Ryder. Relax for a few minutes,” Winterlya urged.
His body relaxed, giving up on trying to wake up.
“What did Midnight say?”I probed, needing to know how mad she was.
