"Congratulations, Alpha Rex. You just completed the GHOSTLY level of the Fancy teachings." The oldest of the fancy teachers said, putting the medal around my neck. There were ten of them sitting next to each other, in a pyramid setting. I was in front of them, with my legs crossed like in the yoga section and dressed in the ancient learning robe of the fancies. The room was filled with the pungent scent of burning white thorns, which was a ritual to commemorate reaching the end of a level. My heart swelled in pride and excitement as I stared down at the medal gracefully resting around my neck. Tears of joy warmed my eyes, causing my lashes to twitch. "Thank you." My voice was laced with happy tears. You don't know how long I waited for this moment. How hard I worked for it… Becomin
