Christie was met by a prone Agatha when she arrived at their dormitory. The blonde lay on her bed with her head facing downwards, looking one step away from the grave.
“What has happened?” The redhead asked, also noticing how her roommate’s boots were out next to the bed and slightly dirty.
“I. Am. Beat,” she vociferated in...
2025-08-15 11:20:18 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha was nervous, to say the least. Whilst the letter containing the special summon to the academy told her that she had a guaranteed year at the academy, she was now to meet with the person who expedited that letter in the first place. Whatever she did in this meeting would affect her future, and that scared her. Sure, the option of maintaini...
2025-08-14 17:21:47 +0000 UTC View PostRené was numb to pain. Too much had happened in his life – which some might dare to call short – for him to be affected by it any longer. Or at least show that he was affected by it. Yet as he saw that girl with the bright red mane and bicolored eyes shedding tears as she trembled in fear, he felt a kind of pain that he preferred not to thi...
2025-08-12 19:08:17 +0000 UTC View PostChristie steadily walked across the silent corridors of the academy. It was the first day in a while that she didn't need to push her body to its very limits at the first hour of the morning, yet the dread still prevailed in her bones. Today, she was going to have a meeting with her homeroom teacher, and that unsettled her, no matter how well he...
2025-08-11 11:27:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the week was a blur for Agatha. Between the fact that she was constantly exhausted and that some classes were just introductory, there wasn't anything to do. Well, there was. She was just too exhausted to do so.
Christie had suggested going to the library, but Agatha preferred to stay in the room as her roommate already had a p...
2025-08-10 11:40:23 +0000 UTC View PostArithmetic ended up being far more draining than Christie expected, though that was by virtue of the professor not taking even a second after writing to start erasing the contents of the slate. Otherwise, it was rather trivial information. Teacher Dago had already informed them that the contents would start basic to establish a shared and standa...
2025-08-09 11:25:14 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha felt refreshed with the morning sprint. She had been forced to move her body a lot during the first weeks of the caravan, but racing with her classmates was wholly different. One was a constant accumulation of exhaustion, while the other was a burst of energy and a literal wake-up call.
Having said so, the sprint didn't last long. A...
2025-08-08 10:59:31 +0000 UTC View PostSoft was the light that woke Christie up. It was only the second day, but she was already growing fond of it. It certainly beat Miss Diorite's shenanigans. With a mighty yawn, the redhead stood from her bed, but now she was conscious of her bedroom's tight walls so she didn't hit her hand on them this time. Another yawn escaped her lips as she m...
2025-08-07 11:31:28 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha was sorry for Christie. The way she was laughed at hit her way close to home, back on that day when she had eaten that shard of an agate, and instead of awakening the normal amount of agates, she was only blessed with a single one. The laughs of the children had been monstrous back then, and from time to time they still echoed in her mind...
2025-08-06 14:27:26 +0000 UTC View PostSick. That was how Christie felt. And she wasn't talking about her physical well-being, which had already taken a toll, but her mental one. She saw and heard the laughs of her 'classmates' as she clutched the ground with her hands and traces of vomit covered her lips.
Ah… she groaned both in her mind and audibly. First day o...
2025-08-05 12:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha had missed her last chance. Well, that wasn't quite right. She had seized it and her shot was bound to land at those speeds and distances as the air boomed around her agate, but she hadn't taken into account that fractured agate that seemed to move with a mind of its own.
Still, she refused to give up.
She recalled her agate f...
2025-08-04 17:06:11 +0000 UTC View PostChristie had never regretted a decision so much in her life before. Well, she hadn't taken many decisions over her short life, but still, that wasn't the quid of the question. The subject at hand was showing her agates to the rest of the class. For a moment, she comprehended the shame Agatha suffered in the locker room, then the next moment, she...
2025-08-03 13:14:29 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha felt like her head was going to explode. She wasn't the smartest, and she knew it, but it was almost demoralizing how hard it had been to pay attention to the class when it hadn't even been that long. She hated that aspect of herself. If she wanted to be the best lithorist ever and ace all her exams, then why was it so hard to pay attenti...
2025-08-02 11:25:23 +0000 UTC View PostChristie realized that no matter what she had been taught, the claws of anxiety were something that couldn't be unlearned. She had honestly believed that she had managed to handle her first days at the academy quite well, but only now did she understand that she had been lying to herself. How many people did she actually interact with after arri...
2025-08-01 13:46:52 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha felt like a shalesnapper in the ocean in the classroom. This simply wasn't her environment; it was too… fancy. The whole academy felt fancy, but because she was a student, she had disassociated with it until now. But she was now a student in a classroom. This was supposed to be her environment.
Yet she didn't feel that way.
...
2025-07-31 11:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostChristie woke up to… literal light.
"Now that is surprising," the girl muttered groggily to herself as she rose from her rather small bed. It was certainly a change from her former one – the one in her mansion, not the other one in the dormitory – as it was as big as the closet she resided in, but it was by no means at all a bad chan...
2025-07-30 12:29:53 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha was too good of a person, and she wanted to defenestrate herself for it. Defenestrate, heh. What a funny word. Comedy was the only thing that saved her in this grueling moment where she had to move TENS of suitcases.
She had barely a bag to her name, whereas her new roommate was packing ten times that but in a bigger, more ...
2025-07-29 18:20:47 +0000 UTC View Post"I refuse to accept this!"
Christie was taken out of her reading session as a shout echoed through the walls. She decided to read a bit as it was the perfect environment with the raging rain outside, and it wasn't like she had much else to do considering that tomorrow's classes would finally start. These weeks at the academy had been rathe...
2025-07-28 16:34:56 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha's whole existence could be summarized by one word.
Drenched.
The caravan had stopped at the outskirts of the capital, and whilst riding the carts was one thing, no one would pay for an inn stay for her. Every time that they stopped at an inn for whatever reason she either stayed at the stables or in the cart. Which was more t...
2025-07-27 15:01:57 +0000 UTC View PostChristie drowned in embarrassment as she undressed inside the carriage. Her only saving grace was that no one beyond Adrien had seen her spill her innards out. The mortifying problem was that she splattered her lovely dress with vomit.
"Look at the bright side of things," Adrien commented as he kept watch. "The dress was already dirty and ...
2025-07-26 10:38:35 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha couldn't be thankful enough for Nerea's help. Being allowed to ride the cart was already a gift from the earth, but the company? That was the actual blessing.
Her companion from the village, Cristobal, left the caravan the next day and instead of spending the rest of the journey in exasperating silence, she was now surrounded by war...
2025-07-25 13:07:28 +0000 UTC View PostHere in the fast-moving and rich city of Knight's Ascent, horses were more commonplace than stoneshells, or so Christie thought. Unlike most other hubs of civilization out there, the proper urban planning of the capital made it so there were special paths for carts and carriages in the city that avoided any possible collisions with civilians. Th...
2025-07-24 16:30:49 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha wasn't forced to make all the journey to Knight's Ascent by herself, but that was far from a saving grace. First, her mother and a handful of villagers accompanied her to the closest city of Cors. At some point as they walked down the dirt road, it became clear that her mother was more nervous about her journey than herself. Yes, it was s...
2025-07-23 11:26:44 +0000 UTC View PostChristie couldn't say that she enjoyed journeying much. Her constitution was already frail as it was, but the constant movement of the carriage only made it worse. Actually, everything made it worse. The fact that they couldn't allow themselves to stop around because of the tight deadline to make it to Knight's Ascent in time was horrendous. Jou...
2025-07-22 11:03:50 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha knew it very well that the journey to the Skyscraper Academy was going to be an epic of… epic proportions. Malachite was a small village – if it could even be called that – and the only caravan that passed through it had just passed through Malachite, so it wouldn't be back for many days. Maybe even weeks. This meant that if she wan...
2025-07-21 11:23:19 +0000 UTC View PostChristie had made her decision, but she couldn't help but be nervous. As soon as she had announced that she wanted to go to the Skyscraper Academy, her father told her that she would be departing that same week as to make it to Knight's Ascent, the city at the foot of the academy, in time for the start of the academic year as their state unfortu...
2025-07-20 11:53:28 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha spent the next days of her life like a fidgety mess. Her mother had been completely wrong; she felt even worse as time went on. The pre-examination jitters paled in comparison to the dreadful wait of having to receive the statal examination scores.
"Ouch!" The girl yelped in pain as she stabbed herself with a needle.
"Oh, Agat...
2025-07-19 15:11:07 +0000 UTC View PostChristie had been played, and she didn't notice it until it was too late. Regardless of her wishes, Miss Diorite had already prepared a bath for her, so having played with François did not affect the outcome. It wasn't that she wasn't against bathing, but right now she just wanted to disconnect from existence. Some people would have seen a warm...
2025-07-18 18:39:29 +0000 UTC View PostAgatha felt alive again after having had lunch and a wash. It had only been a cloth and lukewarm water, but more than enough to remove all that grime accumulated from the journey and the examination. Beyond the sweat, she had completely underestimated how much dust had adhered to her skin during the physical test. The basin almost ended up looki...
