these subordinate races had their own specific characteristics that unfortunately weren't really nice. And that was reflected in me every now and then. I was a cocktail of skills that, for the most part, I didn't even know how to use. My hair was black and back-length, a light blue shimmer was mostly in the highlights. In my eyes, according to Loriell's words, there was sometimes an unfathomable depth. Perhaps this was reinforced by the steel blue coloring.
>> Shall we go back now? It's late and cold ... << the group was amazed because Spike had taken the floor and, for a change, wasn't shouting the way he usually did. After a moment of amazement, we nodded. >> K-clear ... << Mankar stammered in amazement.Lorielle advised a few steps towards me and grabbed my arm before she pulled me across the meadow to the path and we were on the way to the castle. >> If they wait a long time they will freeze ... << she said. A soft laugh escaped me. >> May well be possible. But I don't care either. I'm looking forward to my soft bed and above all: Comfortable things ... << She sighed. >> Yeah ... so these exercises are really getting on my mind ... for two weeks now it has been going on every night. I have a feeling Lee wants to prepare us for something. << she said thoughtfully. I inhaled the cold air deeply before it escaped again in a steaming cloud. >> I've already thought about it. But the next competition is only again this month. And there are still two weeks left until then. << Lorielle smirked and half clung to me because she was so cold. >> Let's assume it was really because of the competition ... Otherwise the old one would never have made such a fuss about it ... << I chuckled softly and looked around for fun. >> Pssst, if he's still hanging around somewhere and hears you ... << I said. >> The only time he made such steam was when we competed against the team from the Bhumari School. <<
>> Yes exactly. But assuming it was them again or others who could be equated with them, then he would let us know. <<
>> Definitely. << I said with a nod and looked up at the large archway as we stepped into the shadow of the castle. My eyes fell on the coat of arms, which was depicted on a flag and fluttered in the light breeze. It was a white rose with a sword in it. The castle was therefore called "Weaponrose". A strange sounding name. But it fitted quite well, because there were many races going to this school and the best part: no people. If they had any idea what was going on here then this place would be razed to the ground and everyone would be in danger ...Lorielle and I stepped into the large entrance hall which was covered with red carpeting. In the middle of the ceiling hung a large chandelier which was now switched off. Lorielle, like me, could see very well in the dark. We walked quietly up the old stone stairs to the first floor. There we had to walk down a very long corridor until we came around a corner of the floor and to a spiral staircase that led upstairs. At the top we were two meters further away in front of a huge, stucco-decorated door. She gently pressed the heavy iron handle and slowly pushed the door open. With a decent smile, she let me step forward. Once inside it was nice and warm. You were standing in a very large room. In the middle there were a few armchairs and sofas around a rectangular glass table on which some scrolls and books were still lying. On the left on the wall were some showcases with cups, certificates and awards that some students had won. Then came the fireplace, behind the iron bars that were artfully intertwined and the embers were still glowing. The floor consisted of dark parquet and some cream-colored carpets with red and black decorations. Stucco was also worked into the ceilings. The heavy curtains were drawn on the huge windows. On the right there were two small stairs that went up about six feet: the right one led to the girls 'dormitory, the left one to the boys' dormitory. Liese we went to the right one. There was a corridor with hollows in the brickwork to the right and left. There were really large beds in there, with a thick red curtain hanging in front of them, so that at least one could have some privacy. I waved to Lorielle at the end as she hopped into her bed and drew the curtains.
My bed was on the right side, the window side. I took my pajamas and went to the bathroom to change. I grinned when she saw me again and then followed me.She waited in front of the door until I was finished. The bathroom was at the end of the long hallway and had only two toilets and a few showers. When I was done I said good night to her and crawled into my bed. I quietly closed the curtains and slipped under my covers. I had something like a small bedside table, namely the window sills next to and above me. There were three windows above or next to my bed. A large straight one that filled the entire length and two slightly slanted windows, one at the foot and one above my head. I looked through the panes of glass with half-closed eyes for a while, although I couldn't see anything. Then my eyes closed and I fell asleep.
