Golden Gates.

I should have known after K mentioned it. There's only one place where there is a magnificent golden gate that's erected, such as this one, right in front of me. This place is where all Astral ability users are. To put it simply, an institute built exclusively for people who have abilities and learn how to control and hone it better and I on the other hand is standing on the institute's entrance.

"Hey, you didn't told me that we are going for a suicide mission." I grumbled and faced the huge gate. I am not supposed to be here considering that I don't have abilities. My sister would be able to enter such a high end institute without worries but me? I would look like a pebble surrounded by diamonds.

[You are heading at the right place though? Hurry and go inside and admit yourself. All necessary procedures of enrolling are already dealt with. All you have to do is sign on the contract paper for students.]

"Can't you stop being so bossy, K? Anyway, you're telling me that you enrolled me in a lions' den?! How am I supposed to survive in this hell hole once they find out that I'm not an Astral user?!" The risks are so high that I can't even stop myself from ranting on thin air. Yeah, K is like thin air but with an annoying bossy mouth.

[Sylmia Institute is a perfect place to hide. Don't you agree?]

"..." Well, if you put it that way. My pursuers, or should I say killers? They don't even know whether I'm dead or alive and they also know that I don't have anything I can protect myself with so disguising myself as a student in this institute might be the best camouflage. "Still, there should be another way. I should contact my sister and ask for help instead of going solo." I replied and took a step back at the gate before me.

[YOU MUST NOT. YOU WILL ONLY DRAW MORE DANGEROUS PEOPLE. I DON'T APPROVE OF YOUR IDEA SO DROP IT.]

K's voice suddenly sounded fiercer. It's as if K's trying to narrow my choices like instead of getting help from outside, I should do this all on my own. "Why? Why is it that even contacting the person closest to me is also void?! Do you know how much anxiousness has built up inside of me every single minute since I woke up in the hospital without memories from the day before the accident?! Why are you so selfish? I know you're only trying to help but have you ever thought of my opinion?'' I yelled with my anger seething out in every word.

I mean, yes, I don't know anything. I lived my whole life being normal and then after waking up in the hospital with things blowing up, my life started to get shitty as it is. What's the point of hiding myself when I don't even know who my enemies are?

[Listen, your enemies are not to be taken lightly. One mistake, Venaira, and the people you hold dear will be in grave before you. It is your choice to trek up a different mountain but you should bear the consequences.]

[This is only the beginning.]
