Chapter 144: Chapter 144

　　We walk through the courtyard, and I see Yiselda sitting by herself. She appears troubled.

　　'How about you two go on ahead? I'm going to see if Yiselda is okay,' I say.

　　Magnus and Alec peer over to Yiselda and see her moping on a bench seat. They nod and walk away together. Sometimes I don't get Alec and Magnus. They argue and fight, yet they are by each other's side more than mine at times. They truly are like brothers. I roll my eyes at the back of them again.

　　'Yiselda,' I say in a chirpy tone and sit beside her. 'You didn't come to the orc trials?'

　　'No,' she says quietly.

　　'Oh, I was hoping to see you there, but that's okay,' I smile.

　　She waves her wand at the ground in a circular motion making the leaves float from the ground and swirl into a tiny whirlwind.

　　'So, you seem pretty quiet… and glum?' I say. 'You don't like it here?' I add.
