Chapter 16 - The Blind

She was often seen in the cafeteria, some dreamers would occasionally talk to check on her. Such as Nephis and a few awakened joining her on their break time.

Being blind, harrassment has became common. Yet without knowing her abilities most occurrences fail to happen.

Dreamers are often devoured by their own ego, becoming highly attractive nearly everyone rivaled the famous singer Night from the band Nightingale. His disappearance was rumored he awakened, elevating his looks even more. Such fantasies often came from those who aren't used to seeing such beauty.

When it came to conventional beauty, Cassia was blessed by such beauty. No dreamer at the academy could argue who among them was the most attractive. Cassia The Blind was always mentioned, albeit briefly knowing how little chance she would survive.

Although Nephis is the most famous, her unconventional beauty wasn't as popular. Her grey eyes combined with her silver hair made her look different, unknown.

When Cassia had entered the academy, it wasn't required to reveal your aspect especially your flaw. The government knew how much someone's flaws could cause chaos if revealed everywhere.

Cassia also opted to hide her ability. Being affiliated with the government, no body could have a normal life unless one is affiliated to the clans or the government.

From living a normal life, going to school laughing with classmates. Now just waiting for her end, her execution.

After conquering her nightmare nobody knew what horrors she experienced, the only clue was her memory, the endless spring. Only her parents and a few trusted government officials knew of her memory.

Cassia had a few months to prepare for Winter Solstice. A few months to savor what remains of her life. Going to school became horrible, the friends she had, felt distant. And most notably her visions, rivaling her nightmare.

She doesn't need to tilt her head or move her body to know if someone was near her. She could sense it, the awakened will have an attribute and the mundane will just be a soul.

Despite having the ability to sense someone, she knew it wasn't enough. The government was currently focusing on escorting the princess of the immortal flame.

Although that was their excuse, they judged her as a lost cost. Further hammering down the reality of her situation.

A rogue awakened has been notorious in the outskirts. An infamous gang leader has been defiled by this rogue, yet the culprit could not be found in the vicinity. Like a shadow, it vanishes into the dark.

Shadow Blade Kurt, previously a member of the government until greed controlled his every action. Even now, Jet was still Investigating the whereabouts of that fiend.

Cassia's revelation showed the man appear infront of her. It was instantaneous, a blur appeared and a man ascended from the floor. Ominous and vile, Cassia's beauty was well known even reaching Kurt from the shadows.

His ability is to move through the shadows, Cassia discovered. Then the vision ends, it was fleeting like a dream. Far too little details can be seen. But the fiend remained in her mind.

When and where the rogue would appear is the question, but Cassie was already paralyzed. Unable to move from the corner of her room.

"Rationalize?! I cant even stand properly in the dark!"

Talking to herself, venting all her complaints and frustration. Her knees trembling without end. Thoughts guided by fear, she crawled as though being followed by darkness trying to find the sheets of her bed. she could not.

A breeze entered the room.

'No... right now?!'

"Ahhg!"

Her legs fail to muster strength, dragging herself out of the bed away from the fiend she had just saw from the revelation.

Without sight, everywhere she looked the fiend could appear anywhere in the dark.
