Cult symbol

Days passed quickly and it's already been a month since Amber got hospitalized

She woke up a few days after her operation. No one could read her expressionless face when they said to her about her mother's visit and all things that happened when she was unconscious, except for Aidan.

After seeing Amber lying on the bed like that not moving, Aidan understood that he is different from Amber

It was a simple interest at first. His meaningless confession didn't mean much. He was willing to give up the moment he gets rejected, but after Amber got hurt he changed.

It was not meaningless anymore. After fighting with himself constantly, he knew that Amber is special

The rage he had when he found out about Amber's past and parents, his mind told him

"Protect her" Amber is a very prideful girl who runs away the moment she feels emotion in her dark fogged heart.

So Aidan decided to take it slow

He stayed with her the whole month while she was in the hospital and tried to make her slowly open her heart to him

---------

Meanwhile, Adar, saw a whole new world and emotions while staying in the magic school for the past month.

He joined as a teacher in the school, teaching his electric powers and control of it.

How should a relationship should be between a father and a daughter, he learned it by watching Zia and Will.

The anger he felt when he saw his daughter with a man is new to him.

He tried a lot of times to talk to Nora, but she always avoided him

but today he was set on talking to her and apologizing to her

He saw Nora walking in the woods with Noah while going inside the school

He quickly went to her

"Nora" he called out to her

she got stiff as soon as she saw him

"Look---"

"Stop, today I want to talk to my daughter and only her" he stopped Noah before he can speak

"Fine" Nora replied

"Nora?"

"Noah, you go back, I will see you later"

"Firstly, I am sorry about all the things you had faced. I know I have been a bad father, but it was not my intention

I just didn't know how to let you know, that the only daughter of mine should stay on my side and love me. Furthermore, I saw a whole new world here and I think Will bringing me here is one of the best decisions that happened in my life

Will you please forgive me and call me father once again?"

"Father"

"Nora" he felt so happy

"I wished all my life in that prison-like room with no air and proper food to call you father freely without fear and hug you and tell you how bad it was for me and how lonely I was

But have you ever looked at me?

The coldness in your eyes whenever you looked at me

I can never forget that

the servants who looked down on me

the mother who left me

A father, who wanted nothing but revenge in his life. I was fed up

I acted my whole life just like a puppet

just like how you wanted me to because I thought for sure one day you will come to me and praise me patting on my head that I did well

I don't have magic power, yet I came to this school and faced all bullying just because you asked me too

I was filled with jealousy whenever I saw the chairman and Zia

They are not even blood-related, yet their relationship was far better than you and me

I was the lonely father

I wanted to say this for a long time

But Noah came into my life

showed me the love no one has ever shown me

Like I was the only one in his eyes and he didn't care for whatever happens

I wanted that with you

I wanted you to protect me like I was the only precious thing you had

Do you wish to leave your revenge?" she asked, and he couldn't answer

"Then what were you expecting coming to me, father?

Do you still wish to keep me second to everything you want?" she asked

He couldn't speak a word

"Don't come to me father because I am happy now" she said and left from there

Meanwhile,

Zia, Charles, and Will are so busy looking for Eren

The market, in which Adar was seen the last time

They investigated it properly and found many clues and a mysterious symbol with a circle inside a square with a dot in between and a line diagonal to the corners

No one had a clue of what that symbol was, but they found evidence that Eren constantly bought magic stones in the market

In general, a magic stone is a life essence of a monster, and Eren is noted as the most powerful magician

So it left them in confusion that why would Eren ever need a magic stone if he has an earth and fire magic in himself

Zia learns all the new things about her father whom she never ever met, which only brought curiosity to her brain

"Found the symbol" Charles came running inside the room

"It's in a book?" Will asked

"No, this is a mysterious cult that formed around 17 years ago for helping poor people

Like a fundraising organization. Although later it was found that the cult was using black magic and some things related to the wall of death using the devil book, so the court banished them and later no one saw them again"

"Why would a fundraising organization use black magic?" Will asked

"I read that all the immortal beings are sent to the other side of the wall, so how come the devil resides here and grants the wishes of the one in return for flesh?" Zia wrote in her book and showed them

"Because it's not actually the devil, but just a trace it left back in that book. There is no actual devil in the book. The book absorbs the flesh and gives the power to the person who asked for a wish to make the wish true by himself. The devil's book was present for a long way back before even the wall of death was formed

by great devil Lucifer who died in hands of an angel, but he left his trace in that book, and mysteriously it disappeared but was told that it appears if you have a dark desire"Charles spoke

"Then why did it even appear in front of Zia? And why did it suddenly disappear?"
