They’d been sitting in this classroom for a while now, Lord and Mistress stood at the head of the classroom, they looked on edge and glanced at the closed double doors at the end of the class.
Lillth leaned over so she was close to Alex and whispered “What’s up? It’s unlike them to looks so on edge...” Alex glanced back at the door then back to the Lord and Mistress, “I think we’ll find out soon” she muttered as she saw Lord check his watch then in a hushed voice say something to Mistress. Alex was about to cast an eavesdropping spell when the doors clattered open and the class went silent, looking back at the three figures standing in the doorway. They walked in, carrying a strong cent of the surface on their clothes which made some of the monsters shift uncomfortably in their seats.
They walked to the head of the class, all of them holding a strong stride. The first was a Boy, he was medium height with thick curly hair. His skin was smooth and his features fairly feminine but it was clear that he wasn't weak at all, he was was the perfect example of a male human. This went for the girl whom followed him, she also had shoulder length curly blond hair and her skin was clean and pale. Though the third one was different, he was tall and slender with tanned caramel skin and bright yellow-green eyes. His features were sharp and his short curly black hair peeked out from under a loose white turban, he walked with less of a stride than the others and seemed a little more self conscious. Alex noticed him lightly touch the white material which hung down from his head so it was over his shoulder, concealing something golden clasped to the collar of his blazer. “Who the Haven do these idiots think they are?” Lillth hissed angrily. Alex ignored her her eyes fixed on the third one’s blazer collar.
They reached the head of the class, everyone’s eyes fixed solely on them. The first boy reached inside his blazer and pulled out a golden feather handing it to Mistress bowing. The whole class began to murmur as the Mistress accepted it and the three sat down in the 2nd row from the front. Alex watched them sit and noticed that they all had a small golden feather on them, that was what the 2nd boy was concealing, the other boy also had his attached to the collar of his blazer and the girl had it in her hair. Jaden leaned over from the row behind, “ Wait, what’s happening?”, Alex continued staring at the three newcomers, “No way....”,
“Alex?” Lillth looked at her then the golden feathers, shining in the light. Alex clenched her fists, her expression hard, “You see those golden feathers they’re wearing?”, they all looked closely including Aven and Lucifer and saw the small glint of gold.
“What the Haven are the Reapers thinking?!” Aven growled sitting back, tense.
“No way...” Jaden trailed off,
“Gods. No doubt about it” Alex crossed her arms, “ But why would they be allowed to partake, technically they’re not part of Hell, so why would they even care about the assassinations or the Hell Course...”
“UUGH” Lillth sighed, “ Well then his whole fucking fight to the death is pointless, they might as well just waltz them off the the reaping right away. there’s no point in fighting if a God is involved.”
“Are you JOKING me! how many times do i have to say that no one is going to lay down and die!” Alex’s angry whisper rose to almost a shout, “No one even knows if they are in the Hell Course anyway!” the class turned around and looked at the now standing Alex. The blonde God turned in his seat smirking slightly, “And so if we’re not in the Hell Course then what are we doing here?”
Alex turned around angrily, “Oh i don’t know, maybe you’ve come to enjoy the show!”
He laughed and rose to face Alex fully “You really think, I’d come here for a show, let alone dressed like this?”
“Oh wow, you doing your race such just right now” She smiled letting her wand slide out from her sleeve. The boy saw it slide into her hand and laughed even louder.
“Hell dwellers have some guts challenging a God I have to admit, but, theres a fine line between bravery and stupidity. “
“Well, lets see who’ll be waltzing to the reaping after this” Alex taunted.
“WAIT STOP RIGHT NOW” Shouted Mistress fire appeared in her palms with a loud FWOOMPH but she was seconds late. The young God flicked his hand and two sets of desks came hurtling towards Alex’s direction, Without any thought Alex flicked her wand deflecting the desks and protecting nearly half the class with a throbbing shield of a strange dark marble liquid which quickly evaporated. “What the hell is this guy thinking, he doesn’t give a shit about anyone else does he?” she thought, then cursed to herself “I should have let some monsters die... then they’d have reason to kick him out.”
The God lowered his hand slightly and noted the fizzing tables where it had come into contact with the shield, this girl was pretty good. “Whatever, i don’t think she’d be able to pull something off like that again” he reasoned to himself and his hand rose again but the girl sitting beside him grabbed it quickly, “What the hell are you doing Ares?!” she hissed, the God, or rather Ares, lowered his arm sighing. Then suddenly he felt a surge of shock pass through him and passed out landing heavily on the tiled floor. Lord lowered his hand from the boys neck and rubbed his forehead at the wrecked classroom and startled monsters. The Goddess turned to the Lord, “What are you doing! You can’t do that to a student!” She said half angry but also surprisingly half scared of the Lord, “He was endangering the safety of other students and disrupting the class” He stated bluntly and he bend down to pick him up. Jaden whistled, “Nice going with the shield thingy” Alex didn’t bother replying, she sighed and sat down heavily on the desk, the shield had used up a lot of energy deflecting the heavy oak desks. She looked up at the Lord carrying Ares out the door and he paused and sighed, “Come on Alex, and give me your wand”. She rolled her eyes as she slipped the wand back out of her sleeve and handed it to the Lord. The class watched as the three walked out of the doors closing them with a muffled THUD.
Mistress sighed and looked around at the wreckage she was left with. “Alright, who knows any cleaning spells?”
