Fei
As Fei marched through the school, thoughts of her upcoming journey began swirling through her head. All of her training, schooling, everything, was leading up to this adventure. Countless stories of the relics were imprinted in her brain from the many hours of memorization for history class. Nothing was considered more honorable and brave than finding them. As to what happened when you found one? Fei had no clue and was only interested in bringing honor to her title and finally making her mother proud.
The only question was where she would look. No book or library could ever give her answers for the location of such creations. There we so many different places they could be, so many dangers, and if Fei was going to put her life at risk, she had to be sure. Without anywhere to research, there was only place left she could search to get answers. The Intelligence Division. Getting information from them should be a breeze, considering her status. Practically everyone in the world was terrified of the Asgard, judge of all, and her mother. You’d be asking for a death sentence if you so much as touched Fei. Everyone had something to hide, a secret no one knew about, something the judicial branch could find should they be pointed in the right direction.
Miss Kor appeared in the hallway and bowed her head to Fei, who nodded back in politeness. While it was clear Fei was well beyond the teacher’s status, Miss Kor specialized in teaching tomes and Fei loved training with her fire abilities more than anything. There was no way she’d risk upsetting the teacher of her favorite subject, even though there were other methods should something come up. Most of Fei’s teachers were terrified of her, but who could blame them?
Before Fei had a chance to reply to the teacher, an all too familiar voice made itself known. Taking a deep breath, Fei glanced to the student body president of the school, the source of the bogus rumor spreading through the halls. While she tried hard to prevent it, a small flame glowed at the tip of her head, barely visible to most eyes.
At the mention of a suspicious figure lurking the school, Fei raised her eyebrow. On top of the disgusting rumor of her and Acerbus, she also heard about the librarian attack she’d somehow missed last night. It was such a waste. If only Fei had been there! All of her life she’d been training but never had she fought in a real life battle, full of actual, corrupt librarians. It would have been an experience she needed now more than ever but alas, she’d been too busy getting worked up over her mission.
After dismissing Miss Kor, something Fei wouldn’t even attempt, Mariette began lugging her back to class, for once the exact opposite of where she wanted to be. There was so much to do! She had no time to waste on useless studying that be of no use to her in the future. Fei had it with being pulled around by such a petulant. little girl. Enough was enough. Fei ripped her arm from Mariette’s grip and stopped dead in the hallway. Most of it had been cleared up now, thankfully, and gave them plenty of privacy.
“I’d appreciate if you wouldn’t touch me,” Fei hissed. “Also, next time you want to go spreading such clearly fake rumors, don’t come begging for mercy to me when I do something you’ll truly regret,” Fei huffed and flipped her surprisingly calm hair. “Now, I’ll be leaving. I have far more important things to do today than waste away in that room. If you have any issues with it, feel free to talk it out with my mother.” Fei swirled around and strutted out of the school, never looking back. If she was lucky, maybe Mariette would just leave it alone although Fei was sure she wouldn’t. None of it mattered anyway. Should Mariette actually take the time to contact her mother, who barely had five minutes on the phone a month to spare, Fei would be long gone.
