Behind the red door

Gary continued to scream words of nonsense. Monk had quickly gone up to see if something was wrong. The way Gary was acting it seemed like he was being attacked.

"Gary, wake up, wake up!" Monk shouted

Monk turned to the rest of us, we had now all gotten out of our beds and could see Gary wriggling around tossing and turning.

"I don't know what's wrong with him?" Monk seemed visibly worried.

Slyvia then started to give out commands quickly.

"Ian, you bring Gary down here, you're the only one strong enough to hold him still, I think I can help."

Ian did as he was told, he went up and grabbed Gary by both sides. Gary was still struggling as if he was trying to break free but it was useless. As Ian put Gary on the floor, Dan came over and held down his feet while Ian held his shoulders.

Slyvia then put her hands on top of Gary's forehead, a few moments later he seemed to calm down. Slowly Gary seemed to fall back into a deep sleep.

"What was that?" Dan asked

"It's something they taught us in the medical club, it's used to soothe patients who are in pain."

Ian then went to put Gary back to sleep, while everyone else went back to their bed's apart from Monk. Monk looked troubled and came up to me. "You need to talk to him, he seems to be getting worse."

"I will don't worry."

While everyone was focused on helping Gary I had activated my dragon eyes. I was afraid that he might have been infected by the shadow plague but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with his aura.

When the morning came everyone seemed to be a little sluggish. everyone apart from Gary that was. As he yawned and stretched he said, "Oh, I haven't slept like that in ages, it was so good."

Gary then noticed the faces of everyone in the room, they were all frowning at him.

"huh, did I do something?"

Monk looked towards me and mouthed out the words. "You need to talk to him now."

Monk was right, although Gary felt fine now and was back to his usual self. We didn't know if his nightmares would stop.

"Hey Gary, do you mind if we talk?" I said

Gary looked stunned

"Did, you just ask me to talk to you? Ray, are you feeling okay?"

"I think I'm the one that needs to ask you that."

While everyone had gone down to breakfast I and Gary walked outside the campus. I had told him about what had happened last night. Gary was surprised, he didn't realise he had been talking in his sleep.

Gary then started to look around him, there were a couple of students in the distance but he waited until they turned a corner.

"Ray, you know that big red door they showed us that leads to below the school? I know it's forbidden but I think we should go down there and have a look."

"If they catch us will be kicked out of Avrion, are you sure about wanting to do something like this?"

"I've been having strange dreams about it, like something behind the door has been calling to me."

"Why didn't you tell anyone about these dreams, what about the master knights."

"I don't need to tell the knights everything, this is about me, but I'm afraid that something might happen to me down there, I need your help."

Gary's eyes were filled with sadness, it was as if he was begging me.

"Even if I told the knights they would never let me go down there, it's full of criminals."

I was unsure of what to do, if we were to get caught then we would both be kicked out of the academy, I still had a lot to learn here, but something was drawing me to Gary's idea. For one, my dragon eyes skill seemed to have been blocked by the red door. I couldn't see anything past or below the Academy.

Were the criminals so great that they needed to hide it, no perhaps there was an even bigger secret the academy was hiding and perhaps Gary was the first person to sense it?

"I'll think about it." Gary's face seemed to brighten up a bit, my words seemed to give him hope.

As the day went on I went to my training at the martial arts hall, we were now focusing on fighting skills and techniques while using Ki around our bodies. When I went to gather my Ki, something strange happened. It was no longer difficult to control the size like before. I could easily gather around two times the amount. It flowed around my body gently not causing any pain inside.

I came to the conclusion that it must have been the effects of the crystals and evolution. It was as if I had been given a completely new body. If I was to guess were my strength currently lied I would have to say it was now similar to the old man's but just below the master knights.

While training with the old man I decided to keep the Ki at the same level as before, I wanted to keep this a secreat, the knights would surely suspect that I was this prophecy child if they were to find out.

I wanted to test my strength out and I knew who the best opponent for that would be, Harry. Harry had completely humiliated me the last time we had fought. Unfortunately, third-year students were sent out on missions so the only chance I would get to fight him was at the yearly school tournament.

With the day ending, I decided that I would give my answer to Gary tomorrow. There was simply too much risk involved for me at the moment. As I closed my eyes and fell asleep. A bright white light started to appear in my vision. It was a dream. A glowing white orb was just floating in a black dark space. I slowly moved towards the orb as if I was drawn to it.

Then the orb whispered, "I will share my secrets."

Suddenly my body seemed to be flying backwards away from the white orb, the orb was getting smaller. I reached out my hand to grab it but then a huge big red door came down blocking my path. It was the same door at Avrion Academy.
