Nhaif Khils: The Gifted Academy Series

I am raised to serve. As soon as I had the basic knowledge about life, I was sold; thrown to the most hellish place to ever exist. The Kingdom of Saoirse. As the name suggests, it's the kingdom of freedom. It's not really a kingdom though, it was only called that because it seemed like it . It's a place where everyone can do whatever they want. Illegal, explicit, inhumane, cruel, ruthless, anything you can think of. This place is not bound by any rules, but like any other places,there is an undying tradition here. Whoever is the cruelest, the scariest, the worst person here rules; everyone bows under their feet. And me? I'm just doing my job as usual. I kill. I kill to eat, I kill to drink, I kill to accomplish my missions, I kill to survive, I'm alive, so I should keep doing my job. This is me. This is how I live my life. I'm alive because I'm taking away someone's life. I hate my job, but I have no other choice. I don't decide for myself. I don't have the power to do that. I, myself, don't own myself. Funny isn't? As I said, I was sold so I am owned by whomever it is that bought me. It's been like this since I was 8. I've been living like this for 11 years. Anyway,I'm waiting for my new mission to get to my location. Poli Mariott. Mid-30's. An elite who's here for vacation or whatever. I am tasked to get rid of him before he goes back to wherever he came from. That's everything they told me. And I need to do that now. When I found the right timing,I ran towards their car where he was and jumped to its roof, well while it was still running. I heard them panicking inside and the car started to move from right to left really fast, but I couldn't care less. I steadied myself as I grabbed my gun behind my back under my cloak. I shot Mr. Elite and his driver from where I was; above, and I heard the cars horn so loud; until the car moves sideways faster than it did before. I dismounted the car when I found my chance, before it hit a post. What an action. I slowly made my way towards the car to confirm if I was done with my task. The driver's head was on the steering wheel, no hole in his face shot him on the top of his head. He was bleeding so much it covered his face. Messy. I went to the passenger seat's side and there he was with his eyes wide open like he was caught off guard. Well he is. " Stupid. You came here without bringing with you your people? Tsk, tsk, tsk. " Dimwit. I shake my head as I walk to sit on the side of the road. See that? Money isn't what rules here, it's cruelness. Ruthlessness. Even they can get rid of these 'elite people'. What a brave ass you have, Mr. Elite I am not afraid someone will see what I did. This is a secluded place, anyway. It's miles away from the KOS's main land where the houses and infrastructure and such, no one can hear the loud noises from here. In short, a perfect place. It's the road leading to the cities, to the mainland of this Kingdom. Yes, it's right, the KOS is part of a kingdom. The Kingdom of Caspian From what I heard and read, a school that was what this kingdom's center was, a castle-like school for powerful people. What a stupid idea, creating a school for spoiled freaking brats who don't know anything about life. They'll be taking over their parents' wealth. Why bother studying? Psh. Waste of money. I also read about this kingdom's history somewhere. Its past rulers and the current, who are yet to look for their lost successor. From what I remember, it's been 19 years since the heiress was lost. I bet its dead. "Why look for someone who doesn't want to be found? Just make another one, it's easier. Tsk" Still thinking about the lost heiress. I lay down on the road to look above me. I really love looking at the sky, it always makes me feel like I should be thankful for surviving another day to see a masterpiece like this one above me right now. I should rest for a minute. I thought. But right before I dozed off I felt my gemstone steaming hot, burning my skin, so I immediately pulled it off my neck and threw it away. I removed my cloak and my other upper clothes, leaving only my bra to look at my chest, just above the break between my two mounts where my necklace's pendant;my gemstone was lying minutes ago. But there is nothing, like everytime this happens it hurts a lot like hell, like I'm being burned alive, but when I look at it there is no wound. This happens every time. I just sighed, this has happened a lot and its being frequent lately. I'm frustrated as hell as I'm putting my clothes on. That, I looked for my necklace that I had thrown away earlier. When I was about to pick it up, I think I saw it light so fast once that I myself wasn't sure if what I saw was real or just a fragment of my imagination. Maybe the latter. I thought. When I finally put it on again, I put the pendant inside my clothes and went back to where I was sitting to get my gun I had put it down earlier. "What's taking them so long? They're supposed to be here 30 minutes after I have finished my task", I whispered to myself. It's been almost an hour. They are taking too much of my time! Damn! I still have a lot to do, but I shouldn't leave this damn corpse here. This man is a lot of freaking work. You're a handful, Mariott. A phone's useless here. Here on this road there is no signal, I won't be able to call those dimwits. So I have no other freaking choice but to freaking wait. It's already 1 A.M. already an hour after my job, but what can I do? Nothing. I looked at my wrist watch while lying in the middle of the road watching as seconds, minutes and another hour passed. And still....they're not here!!! My patience is wearing thin as the time again unfortunately passes by as I wait for an hour, and another until I see them. Damn, finally!! "Hey, Nh—" Before he could even say my name, I shot at them, making them jump and run for their f*****g lives. "Wait—f**k why are you firing your gun at us? s**t stop it!! Damn you!! What did we do?" Assholes! " You're asking a very stupid question, Estridge!! Do you know what time it is? Huh? Its been 4 hours, you dimwits. Where in the world did you go?! You made me wait for four hours, and afterwards you sure have some guts to ask that question?! You airhead!! " I replied, enraged while shooting at them while they were running to avoid my shots. Let me waste all my remaining bullets on this pieces of useless shits. "Ahh s**t stop it! I don't wanna die!" Says Alen. "We're sorry for making you wait, Nh— f**k you! Stop shooting! Let us explain first! You hot-headed woman!!" That's Dylan. When I heard him, I stopped and looked at him who was catching his breath with the other guys. "Make sure you have a very good reason for making me wait here for four hours!" I said as I signaled them to speak. " You explain, Dylan" " Yeah, I think you should do it , Dy" " Stop calling me, Dy, Estridge. It sounds like what my mom calls dad. Its giving me goosebumps." He even acted like he really was having goosebumps. Ah, I'm starting to really lose my s**t with these three. Damn! My head started to hurt big time. If they won't shut up and start explaining, I'd really shoot them now. "I thought you were explaining? I'm waiting, you've wasted a lot of my time; don't waste more. " I said impatiently. The three young men looked at me. Why do they even keep on sending these three to clean after me? They're damn slow. After a short moment of silence, Dylan the red-haired young man looked at me and explained everything. The boss had been in a big fight earlier and all of his available people were called to help and clean up. I guess it's a messy, big big fight. What a shame I missed it, it must've been fun watching them. "Lets get to work". As soon as I said those words, they went to get their things. We all walked towards the car of Mr. Elite, I opened the door to the passenger seat while Alan opened the one on the driver. We both pulled the corpse to the long black fabric which has a plastic texture, that was prepared by Est. Then, a few meters away, I saw Dylan walking towards us holding an urn-looking jar to put these corpses. When everything was settled, I started to do my part. I held both the corpse's head and focused. Slowly I saw them melting—no longer like they're being broken into pieces, really tiny pieces. Appropriately? Sand like pieces. This is the reason why I was sold. I possess such great things. As soon as I was done with my part, I stood up watching them get the fabric to put the sand, like thing into the jar. Its done. Finally. I'll be able to rest. Anyway, do you feel curious about what you have just read? Let me say it. Its power. Its..... MAGIC. Welcome to the world of danger. This is me, remember my name.
