We stepped into the main hall of Tesata, which had a big pool in it. There were three doors around us, as well as some small closet like enclosures in the school, rooms that had nothing in them but sand and void pilrs with the bowl thing on top of them.

  “I think I see where Oka got the three door idea from,” Kalei said.

  “It looks like a temple, kinda,” I said. We wandered around the main room. “This void jump thing seems a bit more involved than ours were.”

  In a few minutes we saw everything there is to see.

  “And that cludes the tour,” Kalei said. “Stop me if I’m being too much but…this is a school?”

  “Yes,” The formless Void Oka said. “It’s one of the most famous i elementary schools.”

  “How do you even learn here?” I asked.

  An Oka appeared before us. She was a child now. She tripped on her shoe that broke. Nobody helped her.

  “Oh, it’s baby Oka!” I said. “She’s adorable!”

  “She’s not really a baby,” Kalei said. “She is super cute though, even if she’s in a pce like this.”

  “Do you want to see my old room?” Void Oka asked.

  The child version of Oka took off towards the farthest door, that was marked Room 3.

  We took off after the vision of Oka. Past the third door was a thin hallway, with about ten rooms on the sides. Oka stopped about halfway through. She sat on her bed.

  “If these are gonhis much of a bummer I might opt out of the others,” Kalei said.

  I zeroed in on the books on a shelf on her wall, because there wasn’t much else to look at. I reized the older edition of Raina’s third book almost immediately, but that seemed to be the hing in the room. Everything else looked practically a. On top of that, the room was barely bigger than a closet.

  “So they didn’t call these rooms like the other three because they’re basically closets then,” Kalei said.

  “And Oka lived here,” I asked.

  Child Oka nodded, which made me jump.

  “It’s pretty nice you get used to it!” Child Oka said.

  Something sounded off about her. She sounded and looked too eic giveuation. She smiled widely, showing off her fangs. They looked huge on her.

  “Do you have like…anything?” Kalei asked. “Sorry.”

  “No, you’re fine!” Oka said. “My teachers here said that a room like this is the only way all my gifts awaken. Oh, but I do have these!”

  Child Oka got up and started bragging about all the books on her shelf. Kalei kicked at the bed, which looked like it was made out of stoside of a thin mattress. She also showed us a small plush bunny that she said was her 'fort bunny' and I nearly cried from how adorable her joy about this little bunny was.

  “Oh,” Kalei said. “What else is in this pce?”

  “There’s the lounge, and the , and the office,” Oka said. “But we’re not allowed in the office. A teacher’s space is their own private pce. That’s what headmaster says.”

  Kalei just kept whispering “dude” over and over to me as she shook her head. Luckily, Child Oka was far enough away not to hear.

  “Do you want to see the rest of the pce?” Child Oka asked.

  “Sure, show us the way.” I said.

  Child Oka showed us the lounge, which was even sadder than her bedrooms somehow. All that was in it was a small kit, a couch, and a bookshelf that barely deserved the bel that said “library” above it.

  “This is where we got our food, and we watch the TV,” Oka said. “But headmaster only likes musicals, so…”

  Kalei shuffled through the set of old tapes, which were entirely workout tapes from at least thirty years ago, and old musicals. They looked like they’d turn to dust if we were th with them.

  “And that really cludes the tour,” Kalei said as we returo the main hall, which Child Oka told us was the .

  Child Oka ughed nervously as we stood outside Room 1.

  “Sorry,” Child Oka said. “It’s just weird. Headmaster says we weren’t allowed in here ever.”

  “Well, we’re not students here so it’s fine,” Kalei said.

  Child Oka stayed frozen. Kalei got tired of waiting and opehe door.

  “No, don’t!” She yelled, but Kalei wasn’t delicate and stormed in anyways.

  The room basically looked like a waiting room for a dentist. A row of ected chairs divided the room, looking as though they’d been sat on too many times. My heart pounded when I saw it, in a dimly lit er behind curved gss.

  The gss case had a giant stone inside of it and wedged inside of the stone was an old looking bloodsaber.

  I cautiously walked to it. There que beh it, but some of it was etched out or scratched up so much I couldn’t read it. All of the ___ were bound to the sword by their bloodline. When the first ___ found it, it y led uhe Rainbow Falls.

  It looked mostly like a regur modern bloodsaber; the bde was clear like gss save for the veins housed inside of it. I saw a murky refle of myself in the gss protector, with murkier refles of Kalei and the child version of Oka behind me.
