Chapter 10

The next class can’t be embarrassing, right? Wini walks with me after history class ends, which was about two hours long, which I have judged by looking at the various clocks we passed in the corridors. Maz left after an hour, so did Kane, but Vale didn’t. He answered all the questions before I could even put my hand up. We’re walking through a corridor now that has rows of bookcases on either side but no books in them, just empty, dusty bookcases. I can smell the dust, and I wonder what was on these shelves to begin with. Between every five or so bookcases are some triangle-shaped windows casting light onto the floor that we walk across.

“So, what exactly is training?” I question. All I’ve been told by the tutor is that the rest of our afternoons are always the same—training.

“We’ll spend the majority of our days training for various things, but all in this next class, from what I’ve heard,” she explains. “I think they call it training because it covers a wide load of subjects. I haven’t seen our formal schedule yet—I believe we will get them tomorrow—but I think our morning classes change from healing to history and such, but our afternoon is always training. My brother’s is like that.”

“Okay, sounds easy enough.” Which is a lie because it definitely doesn’t.

My bonds are ahead of me, walking together as a tight group, one I am definitely not invited into. Everyone else is side by side with their bonds, walking together in alliance and talking. Getting to know each other, even if it is tense. Mine want nothing to do with me. Even Aster is right next to Wini, staying on the other side of her. But there’s just me. I’m the only one who seems to have bonds that want nothing to do with their bonded. I hate that it hurts.

Eventually the corridor widens into a huge stadium. It’s tall, vaulted gray walls are so high up I can just about see the roof. The room is massive, big enough for the dragons to shift without breaking anything and still leave a lot of space for everyone else. There are two huge doors at the end that are open, leading straight into the forest.

Our tutor, I presume, stands in the middle. He’s a rounded man with no hair, and he is wearing a thick black cloak that covers his front except for his belly, which pushes the limit of his shirt buttons. His legs are quite stubby and he’s overall quite short, but there’s a sternness to his face that suggests he’s not kind at all. His dark eyes seem to assess us one by one as we come in. His voice is deep and outright scary as he yells, “Everyone stand with your bonded. Or a group of bonded,” he adds as an afterthought.

I see all four of them standing over at the furthest point away from the group, and Kane looks at me with disdain as I walk over.
