7 Sarah (1/2)
As I entered the office, through the mirror, I immediately saw two familiar faces while near the mahogany desk there was someone who I had not yet had the pleasure of meeting. He was staring at me with a serious look on his face.
”I'm the headmaster, Shen Qilni. Do you know why you are here girl?” he asked.
”Not really, your minions here are not good at their job, they didn't explain much.”
”Minions? What a disrespectful metin rae,” Viktor said as he grinned.
”Well, if you don't like it then, stop calling me a metin rae. My name is Sarah.”
”Shen, I told you we should stop, she's probably a very skilled tersen. She's tricking us to make us believe she's a metin rae, so we wouldn't kill her,” Viktor shouted.
”Metin rae, tersen, half of what you are saying doesn't make actual sense,” I said.
”Sarah, nyraes are humans, people who don't have magical abilities, they can't see us or our world. Tersens, on the other hand, are humans which sold their own soul to have abilities like us, they are distinguished by their emerald awakening, while metin raes have eyes like ours. They had to sell their freedom without their consent to serve demons, but they got to keep their soul. Why they seem like us still remains a mystery. A metin rae is rare, the last one was during Nyr's era,” Mr Qilni said.
”This is too much, how can a human sell their soul?” I asked.
”Demons, they are far worse than the ones told in human stories and sometimes they come in our world if they are summoned,” Mr Qilni said.
”Nobody summoned any demon. I wouldn't even know where to start,” I said.
”We just need to do a test and if what you're saying is the truth, then you have no need to worry. If you have a soul, we'll see it straight away,” Mr Qilni said.
”But if you are a soulless being, I'll enjoy killing you with my Ien,” Viktor said, while he licked intensely the tip of the dagger he held in his hand.
”Sarah Wilson, you should stand at the centre of the circle,” Mr.Qilni said.
While I stood still, I saw several inscriptions lighting up and as I raised my head, I noticed others on the ceiling. I tried to decipher them, but it was nothing I knew or anything remotely similar.
