Blazing Academy: Semester One (Academy For All Things Scorching #1) - Avery Song Page 0,25

were white with hints of gold and orange and made him look like an angel from heaven.

We stared at one another, and the slight grin on his angelic lips told me he liked what he saw. Or at least, that's what I mentally hoped, because he was irresistibly beautiful.

"Who are you?" I whispered, but my drowsiness was getting to me.

Am I dreaming? I have to be. There's no way an owl can be there one minute, and the next minute becoming the angelic creature that must have fallen from heaven. Ugh. I need to go back inside. I don't feel too good.

Attempting to head back inside, I looked to my right and my eyes went wide at the man who was literally standing next to my window.

His bright red eyes stood out due to his shoulder-length blue hair. From the slight hint of moonlight that basked upon us, he had tiny golden strands in his hair that had a speck of glow to them.

He wore a black collar around his neck with a half crescent moon in an amber-gold color, and a black outfit with a golden cape that rested on his broad shoulders.

Since he was standing, I could see he had a muscular build compared to the man in the tree, who looked a lot slimmer.

Lowering my gaze to his feet, I noticed he was barefoot, but I was far more focused on the fact that he was standing on a golden magic circle that reminded me of Card Captor Sakura and his feet were on fire.

Yes. Both of his feet were engulfed in burning, blue flames.

Glancing back up to his face, he gave me a sheepish smile as he waved just slightly.

"Uh...hello? Um. Don't panic. I'm just...uh...a figment of your imagination. Yes. You can, um, go back to sleep and pretend you didn't see us. Ha...haha."

"You're an idiot."

I slowly peered back to the tree, and there again was the owl, but I swear he was the one to speak.

"I'm not an idiot! She's not supposed to see me. Also, stop talking in that form!"

"She already saw us. We're lucky we even came here when we did. Instead of waiting for this registry process, we should take her to see CloverSpell. That seal isn't going to hold for another week."

A talking owl. I'm witnessing the phenomenon of a talking owl and a floating feet-burning man. This has to be a dream. Yes. I'm sleepwalking. That's it!

"Woof!" Cyrus was back on the window sill and this time she jumped off.

I was about to shriek and try to catch her, but she landed on the magic circle and her body was wrapped up into a blue and silver light.

Five seconds past and a girl with three fluffy tails appeared in a blue and white kimono.

"Go away, you evil mutt!" she declared and pointed to the man who stared at her in horror.

"You have a damn form? Why the hell were you bothering me if you could just change? Hey, I'm here on a duty! You're interfering!"

"I was sent by Chambers himself! I'm here to protect my mistress from the likes of you evil people!" the little girl exclaimed in her high-pitched voice. She pushed the guy and he gasped before he caught himself with another golden magic circle that appeared under him before he could fall all the way down.

"Dammit! You damn familiar. Let me do my job! I'm a carrier!"

"Never! You're evil!"

"I'm not evil! I'm from the academy."

"Die!"

She began to chase after him in the middle of the air. Each step she took created a silver flame that seemed to help her stay afloat, followed by a blue one as her once-fluffy tails lit up into bright blue and silver flames.

I watched in horror as the two of them ran in the middle of the air, and I looked back to the owl, who stared at me. His image seemed to double, and with a few blinks, it was as if there was six of him.

"Think you two should stop fighting and pay attention to the-"

I couldn't fight the sudden heaviness that took over me, as my eyes grew heavy and darkness overtook my vision.

"Shit! Princess Alice!"

"Mistress!"

My body had to be falling, or that was what it felt like, but something happened. Whether it was a wind or a miracle, I felt like I was in someone's arms while a fierce flow of wind wrapped around me.

It was blazing hot wind, but it seemed to be the perfect blend with
