The Wiz
Chapter 24: The Curse

"You know something?"

Perhaps, this was the first time— during his time at Akademi— acted impatiently and calmly. He was so curious and kept demanding Silver, his roommate, with similar questions since 1 hour ago. Camoline did not even think of the possibility, whether the thought witch felt uneasy or even to the point of being upset over this action.

And luckily, Silver didn't feel upset at all.

Silver looked at his finger, which had been decorated with violets this morning, by a person named similar in color to his nails. Thanks to Camoline's closeness with the two girls from the white dormitory, Silver was dragged into their circle of friendship. It's pretty weird, for starters. Especially since long Silver many withdraw from the social environment. But now, he was comfortable with them. They, not a single one seemed to be able to harm him.

"What's wrong? I don't understand it at all" Silver said. He glanced at Camoline. There was an amused and ignorant twinkle when he saw his roommate. Rarely could he see such a face from a Camoline. Moreover, the woman forced him to explain something that disturbed his mind.

Camoline grunting. He was very impatient, but Silver obviously wanted to play around with him. It was easy to guess, from Silver's eye movements that kept glancing towards him. And do not forget also the annoying smile that the woman showed her. Camoline could have hit her roommate's face, but she still needed an answer to her question. He won't be able to extract the answer himself from Silver's mind. Remember that Silver has the ability to control your mind. It can even detect who is about to read the information from its memory.

"You must understand what I mean, Silver." Now even Camoline was already saying with a growl. Unable to hold back for too long, Silver laughed in the end. Laughter is pretty loud. What the blonde woman did immediately got a reward in the form of an annoyed look that Camoline gave to her.

"Oh, my goodness. It tickled my stomach a lot, "Silver said with a little hunting breath. He turned his head towards Camoline, putting on an innocent smile.

"Really, Camoline. What do you want to know about me? About what? I wouldn't understand if you just asked without a clear context of questions" he continued. In front of him, Camoline let out a long sigh. His energy had suddenly nearly vanished just to deal with a Silver. Fate so unlucky because Camoline— somehow until when— must interact with Silver.

"The news was circulating among the students. What do you mean by telling them, if I'm Prince Chromos' mate?" This time, Camoline's countenance was much more serious. Both hands are folded in front of the chest. Staring at Camoline with curiosity and demand. Stared like that, Silver subconsciously straightened his back. In fact, he cleared his throat to get rid of the discomfort that suddenly appeared in his throat.

"About that, doesn't everyone know it? I mean— even before I say it—, everyone already thinks you two are a pair of mate?" said Silver. He has been able to control himself, so now, he is able to be a little more calm than before. Already in a room with Camoline for a long time, Silver indeed felt the intimidating aura of the woman several times. However, it seemed like he would not be able to act ordinary with every single aura that appeared.

"But still, Silver. I'm not the mate of that man. You can certainly imagine, how it feels when your partner is even more attached to other people, right?" Camoline started to soften. The issue of his relationship with Londer must be resolved quickly, so that this misunderstanding can be resolved immediately. But unfortunately, he seemed forced to remain beside the young Chromos. Because of that man, it was indirectly related to the purpose of his revenge.

Silver himself immediately threw away his face. He looked out the window, which was showing a gray sky. The storm will be here any minute.

"I'll never have a mate, Camoline."

The frown on Camoline's forehead instantly appeared. There was a look of surprise and disbelief on his face. Sure oes. It feels very impossible, there is someone who is destined not to have a mate.

"Unfortunately right," cut Silver. He looked back at Camoline with a complicated look on his face. Breathing out of his mouth. It's something Silver doesn't really like to discuss. That's Camoline thinking.

"I— more precisely my clan —, cursed will not have mate. It happened about 100 years ago. So to get offspring, we will marry with someone who has lost their partner, or from the same clan, to keep the clan from becoming extinct" Silver said. Camoline completely shut her mouth. This sort of thing he had never encountered or heard of before. In his first life, it seemed that not a single clan had gotten this terrible curse.

"But..., why?" ask Camoline. His voice sounded soft. This fact certainly made him stifle. Mate is a very important bond. In the absence of mate, a person's life will be very planned. Weakened magic abilities, as well as a dwindling remnant of life. And living with the curse of not having a mate from birth, it became the scariest thing for anyone.

"One of the clan members, at that time fought back to the top brass of the Palace. Since his behavior brings out anger, then our clan got the curse. Who would have thought, someone who was not a God could really bring about a curse. It felt...., didn't his strength have surpassed that of God himself?" Silver said with a soft. As a result of the curse, his clan, until now always broadcast the news of the riot. A special bond that is suddenly forced to disappear, makes it very difficult for people to be human. Some people even went crazy after trying to figure out a way to break the curse.

Camoline stood up. The look on his face was implied by a great emotion which unfortunately was so clever he covered.

"Impossible! It was impossible for someone to be able to perform such a curse! Only God can do that. I'm sure, I'm pretty sure he did one of the forbidden magic!" camoline said. Silver raised his head. He smiled thinly. New Camoline, who is not insulting over the curse that befell her clan.

"But there is not a single forbidden magic spell related to that curse. Unfortunately so."

"What do you mean?"

"We have been trying hard to find. To steal the forbidden magic book from the white clan. But no matter how much we read it, there is not a single magic spell about the curse" Silver said. Camoline took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, trying to find his memories in his first life. After that, both eyelids opened, but the wrinkles on his forehead did not disappear either.

"Then, have you guys already searched from the black clan's forbidden magic book?" ask Camoline. However, Silver shook his head weakly.

"The clan disappeared about 500 years ago. All things related to that clan had been burned for a long time. So it's impossible to get the book."

Camoline was silent again. There is a disturbing feeling from Silver's words. The fact that all the items from the black clan had been obliterated all over, felt extremely impossible.

Asdus would not have possibly obliterated the relics of his family. That's what Camoline thinks.
