Part 50. A few days later. It was early evening when Helt Fangstien found a note had been slipped under his door. Last time this happened it had been a challenge to a duel, he wondered what it would be now. “Your American friend has wandered into the cave of giant spiders. Go quickly if you hope to save her.” it read. There was no signature. How mysterious. I will just rush out, with out telling anyone and go save her on my own, that would be the heroic thing to do. He laughed. No, it is most likely a trap, better not be foolish. “Hay Yue.” he said to his roommate, who was in a martial arts stance, meditation. “Know anything about giant spiders?” The Chinese student shook his head, “No, so sorry, I do not.” “Want to help me rescue Emma from some?” the tall German asked. “That would be a noble quest. So yes I do.” Yue replied. Helt passed him the note, “This is all we have to go on. Im going to see Serena, then over to the library to look up...
Part 1. Arrival. “Welcome to Sebero Secreto University.” the well dressed instructor said to the small group of new students as they got off the boat. “The entire island belongs to the University, except for the village. If you get in any trouble there you will have to answer to the local authority.” He waved his arm in the direction of the charming old European style cluster of buildings near the docks. “You are allowed to visit the village, but you do need a permission slip, keep that in mind." As he rambled off the well worn speech, professor McGriffon took a good long look at the new arrivals, mentally comparing each to the files he had recently been given. Documents rarely told half the story. Who these people were could better be understood by watching them first hand. “I will remind you that everyone attending has some connection to the hidden world, this does not mean they are monsters, magicians, aliens or other dimensional cat-girl demons. Most students her...
Part 41. Let the duel begin. It was a bright and sunny Sunday as noon quickly approached. Not Helt’s favourite weather or time of day. The hill behind the amphitheater was mostly empty, a grassy mound with only a few trees. There would be no avoiding the sunlight in today’s duel. Fortunately he was not the kind of vampire who burst into flames. Any exposed skin would suffer a painful sunburn fast and be slow to heal. Sunblock helped avoid the burn, but the light would sap his strength the longer he was out in it. Under a tree sat Professor Marry Alisa Dellumph, who would be the referee for the duel. An older woman, dressed in Victorian style, she had a butler and tea table with her. To her left was Helt and his supporters. To her right was Natilla and her allies. A group of a dozen spectators stood behind her. After the butler whispered in the Prof’s ear, she stood up and said “There time is here. Will the conflicting students step forward?” Helt and Nat...
