Beast Evolution



"And he's different now, everything about him changed, the way he speaks, his hair, his eyes, everything"

"Did his friends hear him say he's going to Xethen empire?" Alfred asked.

"Yes," Selena replied and Alfred dashed out of the room immediately.

...

"So we can't leave today, we all heard what the knights said, tomorrow all the bodies of the late knights are going to be laid to rest and everyone would be present to pay tribute, after that we'll be in our dorm all day preparing then we'll leave at night" Gabriel explained.

"So tomorrow night, Xavier you still know where Ray is right?" Leia asked.

"Yes, he is currently in a small village, after that, he'll probably visit the port where he'll take a ship and travel to Xethen Empire, it'll also take a while before he reaches the capital so maybe we can catch up to him before then" Xavier spoke.

"It's impossible, he already has a headstart and we are still going to be in the academy for another day," Ivan said.

"He's traveling on land, we are going to use horses right?" Xavier asked.

"If we can get horses from the gate, that makes our journey easier, we'll plan all this tomorrow, we still have time," Gabriel said.

"Okay, bye guys, it's already nighttime," Xavier said as he walked towards the door.

"Shit, did someone find out about your plans?" Xavier asked as he turned around.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked.

"Alfred is here, he can't see me, you guys should cover me" Xavier spoke as he walked to the other side of the room.

"Is he coming here?' Gabriel asked.

"Yes, he few steps away from the door," Xavier said.

"Open the door, students aren't supposed to lock their door" Gabriel mouthed as he ran towards the door, as he opened the lock Alfred opened the door.

"Evening sir" Gabriel spoke and stood at the door, the rest of them were already on their feet and Xavier was behind them away from Alfred's eyes.

"Why are you guys gathered here, and why were you at the door?" Alfred asked.

"I was just heading to my room, we were all going to our various rooms when you came in" Gabriel spoke.

"Why are you gathered there, move away from each other" Alfred ordered the students.

The students used their bodies to form a wall to keep Xavier hidden but now they had no choice but to space themselves, slowly they moved away from each other and revealed Xavier.

"There's nothing there, why are you guys acting strange?' Alfred asked and the students looked backward.

They were more surprised than Alfred as Xavier wasn't there anymore, just now he was behind them but now he was gone, the room has only one door and a tiny window that won't fit a human being but Xavier was gone.

"There's nothing here" Leia smiled nervously.

Alfred looked through the hallway and all the students were already in their rooms, when he came some of them were still in the hallway but as soon as they saw him they all ran back to their various rooms.

Alfred closed the door, walked in, and took a deep breath before speaking, "What happened to Ray?"

The students all fell silent with their heads down, Selena saw what he had become and she would have told him, but still he was asking them.

"He didn't recognize us, his memories were fuzzy and he definitely tried to remember but he left before he could," Gabriel said.

"He left, do you know where he went to?" Alfred asked.

"Xethen Empire" Leia muttered.

"Yes, he went to Xethen Empire, tomorrow after laying to rest the fallen knights, the king wants a performance from the first year and second year students, though I haven't told the rest but I'm telling you now"

"Okay Sir, we'll be ready," Lily said.

"We are going to find Ray, so you don't need to worry much, none of the students are even aware Ray is missing, how is that possible?" Alfred asked.

"Ray doesn't usually makes friends much, and he doesn't stand out, but I'm sure Sir Jake would notice him gone once we resume training" Gabriel spoke.

"Don't worry about that" Alfred said as he opened the door, "Ohh, I forgot to tell you guys, your movements would be watched by knights I placed around so don't think of leaving the academy"

"Good night," Alfred said as he walked away.

"Our movements would be watched, does he knows we were leaving the academy?" Ivan asked.

"That's not the issue at hand, where did Xavier go, how did he leave?" Dan asked in shock.

They were sure Xavier went behind them to hide, but when none of them were watching he disappeared.

The door opened again and this time it was Xavier that stepped in, he stood outside and looked through the hallway to be sure Alfred had gone away before entering the room again.

"What did he say, does he know about the trip?" Xavier asked.

"How...are you there?" Dan asked immediately.

"What powers do you have Xavier?" Gabriel asked.

"So that's how you were able to know Ray's locations, from the first day I saw you, you didn't seem ordinary to me, I guess my hunch was true" Leia sneered.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't have powers, I just used a magic artifact that teleports" Xavier said.

"A magic artifact, you are not a magic how did you get an artifact and how are you able to use it, or are you a mage?" Gabriel asked.

"I'm not a mage, and the artifact is already imbued with magic so I don't have to be a mage to use it, leave that aside for now, does the senior knight know of your plans?" Xavier asked.

"He doesn't know but now we are under his watch so we can't leave the academy, after the fallen knights are laid to rest, the king wants a performance of first and second year knights," Gabriel said.

"Then that's the time to leave!"
