This Is A Boy.

They got to a wall; two women were wearing an amazonian battle armor that was slightly different from Zian's outfit. The color of Zian's outfit was blue with pattern of waves imprinted on it while these two soldier's armor was brown in color with nothing imprinted on it. It was just plane but fitting and it intrigued Titan. The looked strong and domineering but they had no weapons handy. Titan could feel some kind of pressure from this two Amazonians hence she kept her distance from them.

One look at them and anyone could tell that they were well trained soldiers. Without saying a word, one of the warrior took some steps towards them then turned and stood facing the thick wall. The distance between the warrior and the wall was about seven steps apart.

Zian held Titan's hand and took her to a side.

The warrior bent her hands in such a way that both her hands at her side were raised to the higher part of her torso with her elbows protruding behind her. One of her legs was slanted backwards and the other, bent forward. One would think she was about to punch the wall but the distance would not allow that because she was far from the wall. Even if she had long hands it would never reach the wall.

Titan just stood there with her brows raised. She wondered what this was going to be about. Zian on the other hand had an expressionless face.

The warrior inhaled and before she exhaled, she pushed her hands forward with force. Just as she did that, a rumbling sound was heard and the thick wall opened.

Titan's mouth widened in shock. How on earth did the impenetrable wall open? 'MAGIC' She thought. Zian still maintained her expressionless face. She was already used to seeing this happen.

She began to walk through the opening leaving the shocked Titan behind. She then turned back when she was already at the other side and chuckled when she saw the look on Titan's face. That look was priceless.

"Aren't you coming?"

Titan was jolted back to the present when she heard Zian's voice. 'Apparently, she was still stuck in the past, lost at the series of event that had be happening since her arrival at the school.' Zian chuckled again.

Titan was fascinated as she walked through the wall. She stared at the warrior who had performed magic with admiration clear in her eyes but the warrior just stood like a statue waiting for her to go through so that she could close the wall. In Titan view, this was the greatest magician of all time.

As they moved further, she kept staring at the warrior from time to time until the wall closed again which fascinated her even more. She ran in front of Zian blocking her from moving any further. She was not sure if Zian understood sign language but she tried her luck.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND SIGN LANGUAGE?

Zian squinted her eyes. She didn't understand what Titan was doing; all she knew was this little boy was making patterns with his hands. Noticing her ignorance, Titan placed her palm on her forehead in frustration. How is she going to communicate with the people here?

She returned to her position and they both began to walk to their destination. Soon, the got to another section where the stairs was filled with flowing fire.

"Oh my! You must be tired right?" Zian asked but the look on Titan's face said otherwise. How could she be tired when she just saw a stairs of fire? Whatever stress she might have felt had already disappeared.

She turned to look at Zian like a little child waiting to witness an adventure. Zian was taken aback for a moment. Why is this little boy suddenly so happy?

She sees this almost everyday so it wasn't new to her instead it was strange that Titan had no clue about it. When she realized this, she chuckled.

"You like fire?"

Titan nodded like a woodpecker.

"And I'm guessing you've never seen a stairs of fire right."

This question made Titan nod even faster.

"Don't worry you'll get to see lots of them."

Zian suddenly forgot that boys were not allowed. She had been charmed by this adorable supposed to be boy that she didn't even realize what she had said.

Titan was happy to hear that, she then looked up to her as if asking 'how do we pass?'

"Ohh that's easy. Can you tell me what helps fire survive?"

Titan cupped her hand and raised it up to her mouth. She then placed both hands on the neck as if strangling herself symbolizing water quenches fire.

Zian laughed. "You don't seem to be a fan of talking. Alright. Water actually quenches fire but that wasn't my question?"

Titan thought for a while before blowing air from her mouth and Zian was satisfied with this answer.

"Correct. Lack of air acts faster than water in quenching fire. Do you want to see?"

"Lack of air." Was the simple reply she gave Titan.

"You must be wondering how? Don't worry, I'll show you." She swayed her hands sideways and then something like a bubble was formed. She then placed it over Titans head

"That's an air bubble. It'll provide you with all the oxygen you need."

Titan was silent for a while before nodding.

Zian began to sway her hands again and then raised both hands high for a while before gently bringing them down.

Titan could not tell what was happening to the atmosphere because of the air bubble but all she saw was the fire went out. She gaped her lips and stared at Zian. 'Cool.'

Zian held onto Titan's hands and led her down the stairs. When they walked down the last stair, Zian raised her hands high and dropped them abruptly as if bringing something down. Suddenly they fire come on again Titan broadened her lips. She was clearly having fun. Zian then carefully took out the air bubble and then, "pop". It popped suddenly.

"Oh!" She began to laugh and Titan smiled her widest smile. She was uninterested in escorting this small boy at first but now, Zian had become so fund of Titan; she wished the little guy was a girl. The thought of titan being a boy immediately caused Zian's expression to sadden.

"Um.. We should keep moving." She straightened her armor and began to walk away. Titan stared at her but couldn't fathom the reason for her sudden change in character.

Finally, they got to a wooden door and Titan was expecting another fascinating thing to happen but Zian simply reached for the door knob and unlocked it without knocking.Not what she was expecting though.

Inside the room which looked like a study, sat a woman in her early forties. She had spectacles on and her gaze was fixed on the book she was reading.

"I've been waiting." words got to her from the supreme leader, that a special student would be coming today so naturally, she waited patiently for the student.

The woman lifted her eyes from the book and stared at Titan. When her eyes came in contact with those unique emerald eyes, she was petrified for a few seconds but then scanned her outfit before turning her gaze to Zian.

"it's a boy?"
