I rushed forwards, heading towards one of the numerous rooms, to what appeared to be a room of numerous kitchens. The lesson had already begun and the teacher was already half way through the explanation. Using maximum effort to be silent, i stand next to Rose only for lightning to anounce my arrival.

"...then we will bake for 40 minutes. Remember not to burn yourselves when you take it out. Leave it to cool for a while before doing anything else." The teacher finished giving instructions. "Then begin."

I turned to rose who grabbed my arm, pulling me to a kitchen set. "We are making cake." I looked around, everyone else had paired up.

Taking the enchanted metal from my pocket and hand it to her, "What is this?" She asks,

I shrug, a small bolt of lightning shoots from her body, and strikes the metal, both avoiding my body and my sense of pain.

"Wow, where did you get this? Mother said that she wouldn't be able to get one for a few days." She throws her arms around me in a hug. "Wait here." She walks off, approaching a group of girls, she says something, the girls to jump, and turn to face her, she holds up the metal laughing slightly. They start talking.

I look back at the small kitchen i am meant to be using. It contains a few items. I stand uncertain of what to do. The others have their back turned making me unable to see what they're doing. I looked inside the cupboards and found some apples, a small leafy plant, small pots of various powders, a bottle of some kind of liquid, and various other miscellaneous foods. I look back at Rose who is still talking, and then i stand still for the next few minutes trying to figgure out what to do. Rose eventually returns.

After class i change into myth, and knock on Rose's room door. "Come in." she says.

I enter carefully, her room was not as much of a mess as i found it the day before, and ask, "Is there anything i can do for you, young lady?"

She fiddles with the enchanted metal, "No, not today." She says absent mindedly.

I clean up her room anyway. "Would you like your food delivered to your room today?" I ask.

She looks up, surprised that i am still here, "No, i'll eat with everyone else." She said. "If you were a warrior, what would you like as a gift?" She asks.

I pause, "Why do you ask?" I say.

"Well i was given this, and i want to repay him." She says.

"Why don't you ask him?" I speak uncertainly, avoiding answering.

"I wan't it to be a surprise." She says.

My head hurts like it's filled with iron, "you know everyone will have a different opinion though, isn't there a better person to ask?"

She pauses for a second, and then another, and then speaks. "How about a dagger?"

I sigh, "Is that even allowed?"

"I'll ask mother."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" I speak as if it was a bad idea.

"Why wouldn't it be?" She speaks as if it's not.

I pause thinking of something to say, a knock apon the door sounds out. I open the door, it was the girls from before. "Rose?" They called out.

"Let them in." Says Rose.

I open the door wide for them to enter. With a slight bow, "I apolgise, but i am needed elsewhere." I excuse myself. And close the door, leaving.

The next mourning i delivered the food with a different servant, i poured the drinks as before.

"Oh, and look at this." Rose showed Sapphire the enchanted metal.

"What is it?" Sapphire asks.

"It absorbs lightning." Rose says.

Sapphire looks surprised, "Where did you get that?" She sounds surprised.

"It was a gift." Rose says.

"Who gave it to you?" Sapphire asks, in a tone that was barely asking.

"A boy." Rose says. I feel my life shortening.

"Which boy?" Sapphire, somehkw manages to make each question sound slightly less like a question everytime she speaks.

"Lore." Rose smiles brightly when she says that name, sapphire frowns darkly when she hears it.

Rose continues, "I want to give him something in return, do you have any ideas?"

Sapphire smiles slightly, "how about a knife." The way she said it made my back feel like it was being pressed into the cold of a dagger's blade.

Rose smiles, "I said that, but Myth thought it wouldn't be allowed."

Sapphire turned, looking straight into my eyes, chilling my very soul. "I wonder why."
