5 Days Before the Fall…
Things keep getting weirder around here. Some of the kids didn’t show up for morning lesson, and when I asked Olm about it, he changed the subject. Don’t even get me started on play time I was hoping to have.
Once again we studied more earthwelding and lifebreathing. Something doesn’t feel right. Everyone keeps looking at me. They just keep walking around, pretending like things are okay, but I can feel it. That weird uneasy feeling you get when adults are fighting and they pretend it’s a game, or they tell you nothing’s wrong, it’s just grownup stuff. I can’t figure out what it is though…
Olm is being as cryptic as ever. I asked him why I’ve been having so many extra training sessions while all the other kids go running about, having fun. He keeps telling me what I’m doing is fun, and assures me the other students have much harder work than I do. Again, as he said that something felt strange about it. When I get something right, Olm smiles and seems content, but there’s something more behind his eyes. Worry.
What’s Olm worried about?
