CHAPTER 14

“I see that you’re already awake. I’m Traquus. We’ve met before.”

I made a cursory assessment of my current state. I was on a bed, not a floor. I was so used to waking up on the floor whenever an energy-sleep caught me off guard that waking up on a bed triggered suspicion in my mind. I sat up and floated in front of him.

I remembered him. He was the angel who’d greeted us at the door of the first house. His physical form looked a few years older than me. His eyes were blue, so blue it reminded me of the sky and the ocean on Earth. I found it unsettling to be referencing Earth so casually.

“I’m Orieumber. And yes, I remember you. What happened? Why am I here?”

“You were seen lying unconscious at the portal. Since this house is only accessible through the Maze at the fourth house, I am positive that you came from there, that you’d taken the test and passed. So, congratulations. Welcome to the fifth house: The Arts and Science of Medicine. And this is your room.”

This house was only accessible through the fourth house?

“So, if I visit someone at the third house, I would have to go through the whole trial in the fourth house again?”

“Yes.”

No. This would not stop me from seeing Venir at the third house. I would go through the whole ordeal if I had to.

“Why are you sad? You passed the trials, so be happy,” he said while staring at me in confusion.

“Where’s the door out of here? I need to go back to the third house.” I hovered toward the door and opened it. I glanced down. The ground was a few miles beneath me.

“The fifth house does not have a door to the lower houses,” Traquus said, hovering beside me.

“What are you saying?”

“You’re now at the second division of the academy. The upper houses. You’ve finished the basic knowledge, and now you’re ready for the application.”

“But I need to see my friend.” My hope was for him to hear the desperation in my voice.

“You can once you’re done here,” he said like it was not a big deal.

“You mean to say the next house has access to the lower houses?”

“No. None of the higher houses have access to the lower houses, and the only way out of this division is in the tenth house, the Great Ordeals.”

“That information is not in any book! This fucking place lied! It did not say anything about not being able to go back unless we finish all the houses. There was nothing there!” I screamed at him as though it was his fault. But I did not care. “And do you want to know why I know it wasn’t in any of the books?” I moved closer to him. “Because I’ve read them all.”

He raised his eyebrows. But rather than looking mad for my disrespectful attitude, he instead looked amused.

“You cannot possibly read all of the books there. It’s designed that way, so there’s a room for the trading of knowledge.
