Human Trial

Legaxy

I already had an idea about this. Still, I trembled in my seat.

While everybody else, who was not expecting that, looked shocked.

“WHAT!”

Both Howard and Axel screeched.

Seth, quite amused, raised his perfect eyebrow at the two.

“You heard me right. Humans will be attending the ball this year, well next year. Thanks to the hunting season.”

Seth confirmed, sounding nonchalant.

“But, ” Howard started.

“Why?” Axel finished the question.

“Two words, Human Trial,” Seth replied, earning confused faces from us — and I mean, ALL of us.

“Human… Trial…”

Dad — who I believe just got out of his shock — finally spoke, his tongue rolling like the word was in a foreign language.

“Care to elaborate, sweetheart?”

Mum asked while sitting up straight on her chair.

Seth nodded at her and one by one, he shot us a knowing look; It's storytime.

Everybody made themselves comfortable on their seat and seeing that we are all situated, Seth began speaking.
