Chapter 18: Life of luxury.
Eagle took Mads to the largest night club in Earthos by public transport and paid a handsome amount of cash to enter without having to line up like the others.
"Are you sure you can afford this?" Mads curosity got the better off her.
"Just let me take care of everything tonight", Eagle repled.
"I have a feeling you have somehow changed?"
"Don't you like the new me?"
"I do but somehow I feel you are hiding something. You are someone I have never met in school. Don't get me wrong I like you but you do not need to change to impress anyone".
"Not trying to", Eagle spoke as he called out the barmaid, "Come here beautiful, my honey wants a drink for free".
"Eagle. What are you doing?" Mads punched Eagle in the left biceps, "You sound just like both Jake and Bart. Look she is coming".
"A free drink it is", the barmaid smiled.
"Enjoy your wine, honey?"
"Stop it!" Mads giggled obviously enjoying the new confidence Eagle had. "If you had been this confident, Tomi would have been attracted to you".
"Indeed!"
"Have you ever been attracted to me, espeially after our cuddle on the green launge?" Mads put on her cutesy pout now getting into the flirty mood.
"So what if I am?" Eagle confidently took Mad's hand and led her to the dance floor, "Let's dance".
The dance was finally over and most of the ladies were leaving. Knowing that by a certain time, the ratio of guys will outnumber the girls, Eagle took Mads to a hotel. "Let's watch the same movie which we watched on the lounge and relive the time when we were only sweet sixteen. I forgot, I have not even turned sixteen at that time old lady". That comment earned Eagle and kick between the legs.
"What will you be doing after this?" Mads who was high due to drinking a bit of wine asked.
"I will be going travelling around Earthos and see what it is like".
"You should do it. I have done it with my mother and it was fun. Who will you be taking with you?"
"Just me, myself, and I. You can tell Sarah to rent out my room to someone else".
Turning on the television and finding Alien vs Predator 2 on HBO, Eagle and Mads snuggled up together. This time it went further than on the green lounge. The next day, Eagle attempted to leave Mads in the hotel room with cash and a note to give to Sarah.
"No don't go!". She held on to Eagle's right hand before he could get off the bed.
"Why? We were just having fun for the night".
"I realise that I really like you and want to be with you".
"Yeah really? Like when you acted like I didn't exist during your 15th birthday and invited me for your 16th birthday which you did not turn up?"
"I am really sorry, Tomi had some personal issues going on and I felt bad about it. I had to help her sought it out".
"What about the time you cuddled up me with on the lounge and just left me there? Using me to stroke your ego at that time".
"I am sorry Eagle, I did mess with you back than but I really like you and want to be with you".
"Well I don't. I only wanted a good time".
These words made Mads' anger flare up and she pushed Eagle off the bed before kicking him between the legs and stepping on .........in rage. "That is for treating me as nothing more than a slut. Now get out of here!".
Eagle slowly got up, put on his clothes, and headed for the hotel door, opening it, walking out, and closing it behind him.
A week later, Eagle received a call from Mads during his vacation, "Hi Eagle. Sorry to bother you during your vacation. I am not angry that you have left me in the hotel alone as I have done that to you many times in high school. I just want to inform you that I am pregnant".
"I am on vacation in the south and having fun. Why don't you just abort the baby. Your boyfriend doesn't have to know".
"He already does and I am begging you to have mercy on me".
"I am busy hanging out with the barmaid we met at the nightclub. The one who gave you a free drink. See you later".
"That is not the Eagle I remember. I am disappointed with you. The Eagle I knew would never speak the way you did and always valued life no matter what condition he is in. Guess I was wrong about you!".
Mads hangs up
After sending the barmaid off who had to go to work in a job she just found at the bar on the ground floor in the hotel below, Eagle thought to himself, "Did I really do the wrong thing? I am finally enjoying fame and fortune and Mads calls me to raid my brain. Yeah right?"
Eagle headed to the bar and sang that song impressing everyone with his ability to sing which was never appreciated when he was in high school. He had audiences singing along and many of them even got up and danced along. He stole the lime light that very night and money was thrown to him. He waited till the bar close down before bringing the same barmaid to his room.
The next day, Eagle left the barmaid in the hotel room with money before heading off to his next conquest. His life was now like the film 'Ghost of Girlfriends Past. "I am having the time of my life. Yeee hah!"
Four years passed quickly and Eagle had enjoyed more than enough fame and fortune. He found a hotel in the north where he planned to stay for a short time. He wanted to head back to the west to see Tomi but he aborted that idea as he knew it would mean being confronted by Mads.
Eagle ended up eating in the luxury restaurant and ordered a huge amount of food.
"You have such a big appetite for a small man", the waitress laugh.
"I am large enough for you, beautiful. You have got lovely brown eyes".
"Yeah right".
As Eagle was in the middle of his lunch, he was approached by the same eight people he had met in the mall.
"You are a difficult man and you have used our power without signing the contract far longer than you have promised. It is time to fulfill your end of the bargain". Aiden Red took out the contract.
"Go away and leave me alone. It is my choice to sign up or not. This is my life".
"You are about to learn the hard way. Your torment will begin soon".
"We shall see".
Aiden and his friends disappeared leaving Eagle alone to eat. He called out to the waitress. "Hey blonde, what are you doing after this?"
"Heading home".
"Come over to my hotel room, it will be fun".
"Sure thing. It is late anyway and there is no more public transport".
The next morning, Eagle left the waitress in the hotel with money before continuing his travel around Earthos.
Between that trip, Eagle travelled everywhere else and his ability to attract women went down hill. Women after women rejected him even with his handsome amount of cash offered. Tired of the rejection he incurred around Earthos, he decided to head back to the west.
Everything seems to be smooth sailing until Eagle saw a dark entity in the sky. It struck the plane which began heading towards the ground. Thankfully it did not crash but it landed on an isolated island in the middle of nowhere.

Interlude 3: Mads.
"Hi mom, I am back from school". Mads knocked on the door in her family house in the south but not before taking a look at her house and noticed that nothing has changed. The roatweilers which were bought by her mother a year before she left for the School of the Beast still recognised her and wagged their tails.
"What happened sweetie", an older version of Mads with brown hair and brown eyes opened the door.
"I missed you mom", Mads immediately hugged her mother.
"Come in a enjoy my cooking. I have cooked your favourite food but first take a look round the house. Your room has not changed". Mads took a tour around the her two story house. She noticed that pictures of herself as a child were still kept on the walls as well as one in which she was born together with the picture of her before she left for broading school.
In the middle of lunch while eating Brazilian BBQ, Mads spontaneously spoke up, "Mom. Lets go for some travelling".
"Why dear?" The older version of Mads became curious.
"To have some fun and traveling is not always an opportunity which everybody gets".
"When I was your age, I always wanted to travel but never had the opportunity because of my lack of finances that is until I married your dad".
"Where is dad now?"
"I am not sure but one thing we have, more than enough more for two year's of travelling round the world".
"When do we start?"
"Tomorrow".
One and a half years later. "You are hired. Your job starts tomorrow". Mads couldn't believe her eyes. This was her first interview and she had already been accepted.
"Thanks .............."
"Just call me Sarah. You have a wonderful personality and I believe you can plesantly to our customers". Her new boss shoke her hand and took out a contract with a pen to sign on.
"Thanks Sarah". Mads jumped up happily giving her new boss a hug. "I don't have a place to stay".
"I have a few spare rooms in my home at the back of the clothing shop. Pick whichever room you like".
Mads followed Sarah into her house behind the counter and allowed her to look around the house. It had only one floor but with four different rooms. The first room was already taken by Sarah the owner. Therefore, Mads choose the second room.
Having natural charisma and people skills, the business in the clothing shop experienced a boom. Sarah now had twice the number of returning customers and it is all because of Mad's people skills and on top of that, she reconnected with Eagle and Tomi.
Seeing that Eagle did not have a place to stay, she appealed to Sarah to allow him to rent a room with a discount partly because she wanted to make up for the way she had treated him during high school.
Little did she know that Eagle was going to be the one to impregnate her which cost her boyfriend to break up with her.
"Are you alright, Mads?" Sarah asked.
"I am pregnant and I don't know what to do", Mads hugged Sarah weeping.
"It is alright dear. Sometimes, we make mistakes in our life and we grow out of them. You have helped my company business and I will help you look after your child".
Nine months later, Mads gave birth to a baby girl. "Congratulations, Mads", Sarah who was holding her hand by her side spoke. "What would you name her?"
"Birdy will be her name. Birdy Jones".
"What about Eagle?"
"Stuff him, he doesn't deserve the baby to bear his family name. He does not even deserve the title". Mads snapped briefly before calming down.
"You are free to have one years maternal live if you like".
"Thank you so much, Sarah". Madison embraced her with her left arm while carrying Birdy in the other.
Three days later, Birdy got struck by an unknown sickness which was incurable. The doctors couldn't find a way to stop it and advised her to prepare for the worst. Mads began to cry in the hospital living room while sitting on a green lounge. While embracing her daughter and weeping, she was approached by a huge blue haired man and his wife.
"Hi Mads, we heard that you have someone precious who needs healing". The blue haired man spoke up.
"Who are......"Mad's noticed Mona and embraced her with her left arm while holding her daughter with the other.
"Hi Mads, long time no see. Meet Norman my husband", Mona smiled.
"How did you both know my daughter is sick?"
"The Headmaster from the School of Parádeisos told us". Norman smiled.
"I have heard of Eagle Riders once and they will be sent by the King of Parádeisos to these who cry out to him for help".
"We are the Eagle Riders". Norman laid his hand on Birdy and healed her.
Mona asked Mads if she would like to become an Eagle Rider. She accepted.
Three weeks later, Sarah also became an Eagle Rider.
Norman and Mona took them to see the Headmaster and he gave Mads a royal blue egg and Sarah was given a yellow egg.
Now Mads had not one but two offspring to look after.
"What should I do?" Mads asked with confusion.
"Don't worry, the power I have given to you will be sufficient", the Headmaster spoke gently. "Besides you are among friends who will help you look after your daughter. Regarding the egg given to you, however, the sole responsibility falls on you. It will hatch in three months if you do well just like all the other eggs. If you look after that egg, I will look after your child in exchange. I will work with you".
Mads nodded and under the teachings of Mona, she learned to juggle time in looking after her baby and the royal blue egg given to her.
Norman gave Mads a book called Blue Diamond Kingdom written by an unknown writter which was all about the male blue ice bears which were the cost of the disappearance of all blue stars in space. The story included a blonde hair and blue eyed girl named Ella W/Quite Cute who grew up to became a warrior princess.
"Who is this?"
"She was a blue star warrior from earth. She is now in the Kingdom of Parádeisos". Norman calmly replied.
"I would like to be like her", Mads spoke out.
"You will that is why the royal blue egg has been given to you", Mona interjected.
"One day, these male blue ice bears are going to destroy everything in the universe and they are stronger than Black Thanatos and the four wizards. In the meantime, we must do what we are called to do why it is still day". Norman looked towards the sky in the night which beyond it wasthe universe filled with purple, white, green, yellow, orange, and red stars. "As the male blue ice bears have become one with the blue stars, so did the brightest stars in the universe seemingly disappear".
"May I know why you dyed your hair blue?"
"I have heared about Isbjorn Daelander, a legendary blue star warrior from earth who has dyed his hair blue. Someone once told me that I looked like his decedent".
Mads sliently look into the sky enjoying the view of the stars with Norman, Mona, and Sarah.
Four years passed quickly, Birdy was now five years old and had long brown hair and green eyes and Norman spoke up, "We will have more Eagle Riders joining us soon and even now there is one lost in the middle of nowhere".
"Who would that be?" Mads asked.
"The father of your daughter", Mona answered.

Interlude 4: Tomi.
"Hi Tomi, how are you doing?" Mads asked her best friend with a concern expression on her face.
"I am doing good. Thank you". Tomi with her back turned to Mads at the beach just wanted to be left alone. She did not want to be around anyone at the moment not even her best friend.
"I am not leaving until I know everything is alright".
Tomi could not hold on to her tears anymore, breaking down, she turned around and gave her shorter friend a hug. "I don't know how to put this in words. Jake has been staring at other women recently. Am I ugly?".
"Hey, don't sweat it, Bart does that to me too. You are sexy and beautiful while I am cute and we are the most popular girls in the school".
"But it is a mutual thing. Unlike you I do not flirt with Eagle".
"Pot calling the kettle black, darling?" Mads smirked and they both shared a laugh. "I saw the way you look at Norman".
"Happy sweet sixteen Mads, I have bought you a birthday present. It is in my room back in our school unit".
"Thank you. We will always be best friends for life".
"Don't you have a party to go to at a concert. You basically invited almost the whole form to go and many seniors which you consider good looking are there and Eagle might not do well socially without you". Tomi flashed her usual foxy grin.
"Eagle? I do remember inviting him. He will be there no doubt. He might be a SIMP but he turns up whenever he says he would unlike Bart and Jake". Mads giggled. "I know I invited him and many others but you are more important. Can'tjust leave my best friend to herself. Besides, I payed for the event and all who are invited get to go for free". The brunette placed her right arm around the slightly taller blonde.
"Do you like Eagle?" Tomi turned to looked at Mads confused.
"Why did you ask?"
"You get all touchy feely around him".
"I don't know. He is just cute and fun to play with". The petite brunette chuckled. "The wind is blowing. I can feel it in my face. Woo hoo!"
"Woo hoo!". Tomi repeated the exact same words after Mads.
Three hours later, the two girls headed back to the Green Apartment and saw Eagle looking like he was drenched with some beer. He was sitting in front of the main enterance looking into the stars in the sky.
"Shall we talk to him?" Tomi asked.
"I guess so". Mads was about to lead the way when Eagle got up and walked elsewhere without noticing them. "Oh well! I guess he wants to be left alone tonight. He will be alright".
A day before Mads left school, "Good morning Tomi. You are early". The brunette opened the main door of her unit only to find Tomi with Edward and Alicia.
"Good morning, Mads. How was you sleep over at Eagle's?"
"Nothing happened really. We just cuddled up on the lounge while watching Abduction and Alien vs Predator", Mads gave out her usual giggle. "You sound a lot more cheerful than I am".
"I am now in an open relationship with Edward and Alicia". Tomi had her left arm round Edward's shoulder while Alicia was sitting on his lap. "You really do play with Eagle's emotions don't you".
"I will be leaving school tomorrow".
"Really? I am going to miss you".
"You can always give me a call. We will remain in contact".
"Are you going to say goodbye to Eagle?" Tomi casually spoke.
"I am planning to travel around Earthos with my mother and I will look for work after that".
The next day, Tomi headed to class and took her usual seat which reminded her of her best friend. Ten minutes later she received a text. "I am on my way home now. I will give you a call tonight. Love Mads".
Mr Buffalo by that time had stop bothering with what the students were doing. He seem to have mellowed out and as long as thing don't go too far he will not intervene.
The day for battle royale finally arrived and Tomi was second to be defeated after Eagle.
"We can go our seperate ways now, Tomi. I am breaking up with you today". Edward had his right arm around Alicia, kissing her right after speaking to Tomi.
"The feeling is mutual. Goodbye". Tomi who had already obtained her certificate left the hall before leaving the hall and heading towards her unit to get her stuff which were already neatly packed.
She proceeded to give her best friend a call. "Hi Mads, I have graduated. Have the second last place and been awarded a job as a sales promoter in Victoria Secrets".
"That is great to hear".
"I didn't do well".
"At least we have a similar type of job. I work in the clothing shop near the beach. The one in which we bought our dresses for the ballroom dance".
"Really? How long have you been working there?" Tomi's hazel eyes were wide with surprise. "We can catch up regularly".
"Sometime now before your graduation. You can come over right now. Sarah knows that you are my best friend".
"I will see you soon". Tomi called up a taxi as she had quite a number of personal belongings that were too heavy for her to carry.
"Let us carry your bags for you?"
"Jake?" Tomi turned around only to see Jake with his arm around Veronica as well as Bart and Lussiana. Edward and Alicia were standing close by as well.
"Come on Tomi, we might have broken up but we are not that bad as if to leave you to carry everything by yourself. Just cancel your taxi booking, the clothing shop is not that far and it will be a good exercise". Jake spoke pursuasively.
"Very well Jake. I can use some help". Tomi replied with a smile.

Interlude 5: Norman.
"Know your place Jake", the tall blue haired boy pushed and out muscled the third tallest boy in the school who is a year younger than himself. "You are only new and acting like your are the boss. You and your lackeys. Line up in the future and wait for your turn and do not try to cut through anyone especially me". Norman who was staring into Jake's hazel green eyes which turned brown with his bright blue eyes before turning around and walking into the cafeteria.
He was about to order his food when Jake caught up to him and shouted, "I am not done yet. You might be big but that is all you got BONE HEAD!"
"Looks like this junior here wants a fight. Very well I will humour you this time". Norman crunched his fist.
"I have got your back", Bart spoke up. "We will take him down together".
"No, lets just leave it". Mads tried to calm down everybody only to be ignored.
"You surely talk big. Nobody has lasted more than a minute with me in a fight and I have knocked out guys tougher than you both. I will give you just one chance to leave me alone". Norman looked into Jake's hazel eyes and Bart's blue eyes.
"You surely talk too much". Jake attempted to punch Norman in the face but his right fist was easily caught by the blue haired older boy's left hand.
"As I said, I have punched out guys tougher than you". The tall muscular blue haired boy bend Jake's wrist upwards before punching him in the right cheek.
Bart attempted to help out but he ended up with a fist breaking his nose.
Norman was expelled on the same day for punching Principal King in the nose when the latter attempted to intervene. He found a job as in a warehouse which involves heavy lifting much to his delight.
"Hey, Norman". A short boy with cyan hair and blue eyes called out two weeks after their job.
"Who may you be?"
"I am your work mate but most of all I am a follower of the King of Parádeisos and an eagle rider".
"I guess you know about the male blue ice bears then?"
"That is right I am Olaf Daelander".
"Tell me about the blue ice bears".
"They are the strongest land animals in the universe - the males only of course. Females sexually mature at 3 while males do so at 5.5. They do not get fully grown until they reach 5, females and 10 years old for males".
"That is similar to the polar bears on earth which sexually mature at 4, females and 6, for males. Males are only full grown between 8 to 10 years old. Like us humans girls reach puberty faster and mature quicker but we grow longer". Norman answered accurately.
"You are so right. Do you know that the male blue bears can talk and have the gift of speech and reason. All of them have become one with the blue stars".
"I heard of that and the blue stars have gone missing in the sky".
"We eagle riders have also been given eggs and swords made from the already destroyed planet Diamond".
"What?"
"I will tell you all this later. You probably dyed your hair blue because you look up to the late Isbjorn Daelander also known as the Isolated Warrior".
Norman could only nod and didn't want to be in the conversation much longer. He considered Olaf to be a pest who only wanted to talk for the sake of talking. Yet he was surprise that everything the cyan hair and blue eyed 60 to 70 year old man spoke to be true and written a book called 'Blue Diamond Kingdom' which was given to him by an unknown writer.
"I am also a relative of Isbjorn Daelander. In fact I am his cousin, a distant cousin of his. It seems my ancestors from Sweden were sent to Earthos years ago".
"How did your hair get cyan?"
"Years ago, I wanted it blue but it turned out to be cyan instead".
"I have no clue". Norman answered confuse. "Who are you really?"
"I am a teacher in the School of Parádeisos, the Headmaster of Parádeisos told some tall blue haired man will be coming into my work place today and here you are".
"That is getting more confusing". Norman scratched his head.
"You will not be confused much longer. Follow me to the School of Parádeisos after work. Accomodation will be available and free".
"Alright, old man, I will take you up on your offer but this better be worth it".
"I will be trust me".
Five years later, Norman became a fully fledged Eagle Rider. He possesses a neon blue diamond sword. He was shortly married Mona whom he has rescued two years ago and had two twin boys who looked like him but with brown hair and eyes like their mother. He named them Nathan and Johnson.
His two sons became great friends with the daughter of Eagle and Mads.
"You have come this far, Norman", Olaf spoke. "Soon I will be taken to the Kingdom of Parádeisos and you will take my place as a teacher in this school. From now on you will be working full time here. Look after the students who will be enthursted to you. Your wife will look after the children".
"I will do my best, Olaf".
"You have been a faithful student and a capable eagle rider. Remember one thing, an eagle is only as strong as its rider".
"Could I teach the students about blue ice bears from time to time?" Norman asked jockingly.
"Of course you may, sonny. My time is over. Yours has come. I have finished to my work in this school now", Olaf chuckled back before he breathed his last standing up.
"See you in the Kingdom of Parádeisos. I will do my best to train the students". Norman spoke. Olaf was given a decent burrial and that was two weeks before the arrival of Eagle.
A/N: This is my final interlude for the story.

Chapter 20: Invitation to a new life.
"Daddy!" a little girl with brown hair and green eyes dressed in green ran over towards Eagle as he returned to the school hall and gave him a hug.
Eagle carried the little girl and said, "I will never leave you again".
"Welcome back, Eagle. Its been a while", a familiar voice spoke.
"M-mads?"
"It is me alright. Did you forget me this quick?" she asked before running from the main door over Eagle embracing him. "Welcome to the School of Parádeisos".
Mads placed her right index finger on Eagle's lips before he could say one word. "No need to apologize. Let the past stay in the past. It's water under the bridge now. We will start all over as friends once more. I am not interested in getting married to anyone at the moment but you are free to see our daughter anytime you like. Don't let the past burden you. It is over. Everything. We are new creatures". She gave Eagle a smile which shows that her is no longer the same person he knew at high school and after graduation.
"Thank you". Eagle smiled gratefully.
"My pleasure".
"May I know the colour of your egg?"
"It is royal blue. It has hatched and become a beautiful royal blue eagle. What about yours?"
"Bright green". Eagle laughed.
"Somethings never change do they". Mads broke out laughing. Their daughter laughing along.
"Glad to see you here, Eagle", Mona who had been watching them from a far came close.
"You are?"
"I am Mona and Norman is my husband. Took you a while to recognized me, didn't you?" The brown haired woman with brown eyes asked.
"How long ..........?"
"For five years now, Eagle. We have two twin boys with brown eyes. They look just like their father and are slightly older than your daughter".
"Where do you live now?" Eagle turned back to converse with Mads.
"I still live with Sarah and she too has become an eagle rider. She is probably in the backyard making sure her yellow eagle is well fed".
"How do we nuture our egg?"
"Just placed it under some hay and keep it warm wherever you go. I am sure your pockets are warm enough, aren't they?" Mads spoke to Eagle who was wearing a thick jacket which had a few pockets, one where the bright green egg was kept.
"Wow, everybody has changed. Does Sarah still have a spare room?" Eagle asked looking tired.
"You room will be in the green building in the School of Parádeisos. From today onwards, you are a permenant resident here. You will be meeting up other eagle riders shortly", Norman spoke up.
"As I said, you are still welcome to come a visit us anytime you like. To meet our daughter and be a father to her", Mads spoke up before heading to the backyard to look for Sarah.
"Let me take you to your room", Norman said.
The blue haired man and his wife led Eagle to him room which was on the seventh floor. The unit had a similar structure to his unit back in the School of the Beast but it was twice as large with a few more sofas as well as a green lounge.
"Please select a room. The other two rooms are not occupied yet but they soon will be. We will leave you to your own devices for now". Norman headed out the door with his wife.
Eagle took a look at every room and noticed they all had a bed, a matress, and a green blanket prepared. All the resources that were provided in his school unit were provided in each of these rooms too. Eagle choose the 3rd room and fell asleep after arranging his stuff as he did back in high school.
"It feels like school all over again", Eagle thought to himself before falling asleep. He had a dream that he was riding a giant green eagle and holding a green diamond sword before waking up.
He saw a leftlet on his table which was left by Norman because of his signature. "If you ever think anything is the same, it is not. All things are new".
Eagle read a section about the diamond swords and he immediately ran to the backyard only to discover that everyone had gone home or returned to their accomodations. The only two people left were Norman and Mona who were feeding their respective neon blue eagles.
"Hi there, Eagle, how may we help you?"
"I just have one question. How do I get my green diamond sword?" Eagle asked with a smirk.
"The swords which will be given to you are from planet Diamond which has been destroyed by the last male blue ice bear which became one with the last blue star. It seems the legandary Isbjorn Daelander has managed to salvage remnants of diamonds from every colour before the destruction of the planet", Norman answered Eagle's question.
"But when?"
"Focus on looking after that egg and after it hatches, you have another three months to look after it and grow it".
"Where do these eagles come from?"
"They come from planet Diamond which has a gravity 110 times that of Earthos. Since the gravity here is light, the eagles are able to grow much larger than they are back in their original planet".
"I don't see any of these eagles having the gift of speech and reason".
"They don't. Long ago, the King of Paradeisos brought some dead eggs to Earthos way before it was populated by mankind and gave life to them the moment the School had been set up. Each egg has a life of its own and is waiting for to have an owner before hatching. No they don't have the gift of speech and reason but they are only as strong as the person who takes care of them. Take care of your egg and your eagle will serve you well. You will not be disappointed".
A/N: Finally finished Book 1. It took a long time to finished on draft. Pacing requires a lot of effort. I know its not the best. Special thanks to Auraptor for teaching me the value of pacing which I hope to perfect.

Chapter 1:A brand new life.
"Today, we have a new student in our class. Everybody lets welcome. Mike Green. He prefers to be called Eagle and we shall grant him his wish", Norman spoke up. Everybody clapped their hands as Eagle took his seat beside Mads, who gave him a smile. Finding it hard to forgive himself, he was surprise that she had so quickly forgiven him and even allowed them to see their daughter anytime he wanted.
"You sure, you don't mind me sitting here", Eagle wanted to be sure as he did not want Mads uncomfortable.
"Of course not silly. What is done is done. It is water under the bridge now as I said. We can still be friends but in a new way", the petite brunette placed her left hand on Eagle's right shoulder before turning back to pay attention to Norman who was patiently waiting.
"It is great to forgive and forget. There are things that can never be forgotten but there is nothing that cannot be forgiven. Today I am going to talk about a topic that sounds strange but it is going to be useful. It is about planet Diamond. That is where your eggs came from". The blue haired man spoke up. "Not all of you have swords yet but soon you will be given one that is if the eggs you have hatch. A little recap, how strong your eagle turns out to be depends on you".
"Where is Mona by the way?" Eagle asked.
"This has nothing to do with the lesson here, Eagle. In time that bad habit will break. However, to clear your mind of all distractions, she is taking care of the children at the moment all the way up to 17 years old. The students in this class can be as old as 60 or 70, the youngest being 18". Norman answered. "Now back to topic, planet Diamond has been destroyed by the last male blue ice bear which has become the last blue star. Thousands of years ago before the destruction of planet Diamond and before the animals were given the gift of speech and reason, the King of Parádeisos transported some dead eagle's eggs from planet Diamond as well as diamonds of every colour on this planet knowing that mankind will send volunteers from earth here and that is how Earthos gots its name and became populated. Eveytime an eagle rider joins us, an egg will be given life by the Headmaster and as a result it is up to the newbie to take care of the egg. I know many of you have heard this before but we must think of the newbies too. Learning to put others before ourselves". Norman smiled.
"What is the most powerful animals on planet Diamond?" Eagle raised his hand.
"You are such an inquisitive person, Eagle and don't worry there is no wrong answer. Only stupid people do not ask questions and repeat the same thing again and again. That is defiantly not you, Eagle. Now to answer your question, the blue diamond bears are the most powerful land animals on the planet and universe especially the male blue ice bears. The only animals stronger than them are the male blue diamond sperm whale and neon blue orca. All male blue ice bears are stronger than Green Light Bearer/Black Thanatos and the four wizards put together and that will be explained later but for now let's talk about the eagles and swords". The blue haired and bright blue eyed muscular man took out a duster to rub off some unnecessary words on the blackboard.
Norman then drew an eagle and a sword on the board. "These of you who are new have seen giant eagles at our huge backyard. They are large and strong enough to carry off an African elephant. The reason why they are so huge is because of the gravity on planet Diamond which is 110 times stronger than earth's gravity. That is why they grow so big on Earthos which has a similar gravity pull to earth. Your diamond swords which I spoke about a while back are made from the diamonds and that is why they can cut through the hardest metal in the universe".
"Now I know why planet Diamond has such strong animals", Eagle thought to himself as he wrote his new found knowledge in his notebook.
"Once again, these of you who do not have swords, do not worry about them until your egg has hatched. Class is dismissed. You may tend to your eagles".
Everybody began to pack up including Eagle before Norman called out to him. "Eagle I have something to speak to you one on one".
"Am I in trouble?"
"No you are not. Stop being so paranoid".
"I guess I will see you later, Eagle", Mads gave Eagle and hug before walking out of class with the others.
"Alright, what is wrong?" Eagle approached Norman.
"I have decided to take you under my wing. If you have any questions. Feel free to ask me. I am available anytime". The blue haired man stood up from his table placing both his large hands on Eagle's little shoulders while looking into his green eyes with his bright blue ones. These were the same hands which once upon a time knocked out his former best friend and tormentor back in the School of the Beast.
"Thank you, I guess", Eagle answered.
"You are also free to ask other eagle riders questions if you wish. They will be willing to help you especially Mads. Forgive yourself as what is pass is pass. That is message the Headmaster has told me to pass to you. In other words the King has forgiven you and so has Mads". Norman spoke firmly. "And one more thing, pay we a visit sometime as I would like to introduce my sons to you. They would be please to meet you".
"Sure thing," Eagle answered nervously. "How would you like me to call you?"
"Norman will do. Just call me, Norman. Exciting things are bound to happen you are free to go now".
A/N: In the next chapter, the bright green egg under Eagle's care will begin to hatch.

Chapter 2: The bright green egg hatches.
Three months later passed quickly, Eagle was woken up by a sound. It came from no other place than his bright green egg which was under his pillow. He got up and took the egg from under his pillow and immediately ran down the stairs, rushed to the backyard, taking care not to drop it, and placing it on the ground gently ignoring all the other eagle riders who were looking on. The egg hatched and out came an eaglet with bright green down and a yellow beak. The bright green eaglet immediately ate up the shells before looking Eagle in the eyes clearly viewing him as its carer.
"Well done", Mads spoke up. "Let me show you where to place your eaglet". Taking Eagle by the right wrist, she drag him (just a minute after he picked up the his eaglet with his left hand and took him to a box which touching the back wall of the school. "Keep your eaglet here until it is ready to fly. Your eagle will be at your backing call after this and no matter how far it flies, all you need to do is call out to it and it will come to you".
"Thanks for your help". Eagle thanked Mads as he wrote his name on the bird box. He took a good look at it and it was ten times larger than most bird boxes he had seen including the one back at Jake's house when they both were in middle school. "What do I call my eaglet?"
"Any name you want. Just remember to name it before it can fly. Your eagle is female by the way". Mads chuckled.
"How did you know?"
"I have been an eagle rider longer than you, silly", Mads poked him in the chest before calling out to her eagle. "Azul!" Almost immediately, a huge royal blue eagle arrived and Mads climb up on her back. "The Headmaster will give you your sword soon. I got to take a ride with Azul. That is part of our training. See you later, Eagle".
"See you later, Mads", Eagle called out as Azul took off with Mads on her back. "Wait what does Azul mean?"
"Azul means blue in spanish!" Mads shouted back before both her and the royal blue eagle disappeared into the sky.
"Your named will be called Birdie as you remind me of my daughter". Eagle turned to his bright green eaglet in the bird box.
"Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ker", Birdie responded happily as if she had accepted that name.
Norman arrived shortly and handed everybody a box with raw meat. "Everyday that is what these of your with eaglets will receive. Remember to feed your eaglets twice a day. This will ensure that they grow quickly and do not be negligent as you have come this far. Many have given up and stop coming to the school after the first two months. Well done once again to these of you who endured".
"I need to look for work in the meantime, don't I?" Eagle asked.
"Yes you do and I have a place for you to work in. That is my former job in the warehouse close by. You will have to wake up early five days a week. Are you willing to do so?"
"I surely am", Eagle spoke confidently.
"Your sword should be inside your room by now and remember, it takes ten years to be able to become a full time eagle rider and a teacher. Mads and your daughter, Birdy already have five years ahead of you".
"Is my daughter an Eagle rider too?"
"No she is not but she will have the choice to decide when she is thirteen. Do not neglect her as you would not neglect your eaglet".
"Where is she now?"
"Mads usually leaves her with my two sons while she flies off with her eagle or is at work. I will take you to see her".
Norman took Eagle to the children's room which Mona was in charge off. It was painted white and was at least as big as his class.
Eagle saw about a hundred children from age three to twelve sitting side by side laughing as Mona was teaching them about eagle riders, she certainly knew how to bring things to life.
"Daddy!" Birdy called out as she saw Eagle who had followed Norman into the children's room.
"Hello the Birdy", Eagle picked up his daughter who ran over to him before turning to Norman to ask. "Where are the teenagers?"
"The class is too big for me to handle alone. Therefore, my husband and I have decided to hand over the teenagers to Mads today". Mona answered.
"That is wow just wow. Does that mean she is a full time eagle rider now?"
"No not yet, Eagle but she has the privilledge to train them in looking after their eagles after her work. They will come around later on". Norman spoke to Eagle while looking at Mona.
"We will switch between teenagers and children on alternate days", Mona turned to Eagle, "Therefore you do not need to worry about Mads as she is under my wing. I will be training her personally".
"It's not that, she is only my friend", Eagle blushed, embarrased at himself.
"I know, I know, you just care about her as a friend. Mads is not interest in marrying anyone at the moment", Mona laughed.
Norman’s sons came up to Eagle and shook his hand. “Hi sir, my name is Nathan and this is my twin brother, Johnson”. The more outspoken of the two spoke.
“Please to meet you boys. Just call me Eagle. Your father one happy family”.
"Do you want to get married someday, Eagle?" Norman asked.
"I don't deserve to marry anyone not after what I have done to Mads, Birdy, and other women in my life. I once acted like Connor from the Ghost of Girlfriends Past film two years after high school when I was nothing but a loser. You will only understand if you have seen that movie".
"Do you know what your issue is? You can't forgive yourself. As long as you don't forgive yourself no one will marry you", Norman spoke. "This might sound harsh but it is the truth that would set you free".
"You really need to forgive youself", Mona interjected.
"They are right daddy", Birdie spoke up.
"Your daughter has hit the hammer on the nail", Norman and Mona spoke in unison.
"We will talk about it some other time", Eagle turned to Birdie and said, "Daddy will take you out for dinner later. See you later".
"Bye daddy", Birdie spoke as Eagle planted a kiss on his daughter's forehead and handed her back to Mona and walked out the class.

Chapter 3: Two daughters.
Returning to the backyard to check on Birdie, the look of his bright green eaglet sleeping soundly put a smile on his face. "I feel as if I have two daughters". Eagle looked upon Birdie still sleeping soundly. There is just something that brought peace to his heart.
"Looking at your eaglet, I see". A hand landed on his left shoulder.
Turning to the voice on his left, Eagle nodded and smiled.
"It certainly took you a while to notice me, didn't you? You look preoccupied with your bright green daughter". Mads giggled. "That is just exactly how I felt when I first had my Azul. How is our daughter doing?"
"She is blending in well with the other children and seems more at home here than I am". Eagle turning back to look at Birdie, "She is in the children's class with them and it seems her best friends are Nathan and Johnson, the two sons of Norman".
"Our daughter will grow up well and she is mature for her age", Mads placed her right arm around Eagle for a while before heading off. "Class is over soon. I am going to take Birdy, our daughter, not your eaglet, home tonight. Come and join us for dinner tonight, I am sure she would be please to have you".
"Alright Mads, thanks for the invitation, I will see you in a few hours time".
Giving Eagle a hug, Mads walked off leaving him alone to feed his bright green eaglet which had just woken up. Remembering Norman's instructions to only feed her what was needed. Walking back to his unit and turning on the television, Eagle watched the film 'Ghost of Girlfriends Past'. Flowing in his mind was a mixture of thoughts and memmories. Some made him laugh and others made him cry, an emotional part of Eagle which successfully hid from all around him most of the time. The only time, tears came to his eyes publicly was when he met his daughter for the first time.
At Sarah's house. "This is delicious". Eating away at a hot and spicy chicken rib.
"Still have that big appetite haven't you?" Speaking to Eagle with a teasing tone, Mads placed her hand on Birdy's head. "Our daughter takes after you".
Smiling while looking at his daughter, Eagle replied, "She has more of your features".
"She still has your eyes and big appetite".
"I look like mom but I eat like dad". These words made Birdy's parents laughed.
"It is great to see Birdy enjoying herself with both her parents. For the past five years, Birdy has been longing to meet her dad", Sarah who had just finished her work for the day walked in. "Do you have anyone in mind?"
Starring at Sarah with an expression as if to show she is annoyed plus a cutesy pout responded. "No one. I am happy to remain single for now, maybe forever".
"I know. It is Eagle whom I am asking this very question to". Walking up to Eagle, sitting down on the chair which was on his left at the small round table, Sarah took her seat. "Have my share of KFC, I am not hungry and I know that you like it. Mads told me so".
"I will be cooking Brazillian BBQ tomorrow, you are welcome to come over for dinner again, Eagle". Trying to lighten up the mood of Eagle who had just shut down, and jabbing him in the ribs with her fingers, surprising him half way ended with Mads being briefly chased around the table.
"Still cheeky, I see". Pretending to give up, Eagle resumed to finishing off the rest of the hot and spicy chicken.
"Of course I am, Eagle". Walking up towards Eagle and breaking out into a laugh, Mads literally knocked the cup which he drank water from spilling water on him. "Sorry", she now looked embarrassed. "It is getting late now, Birdy, it is getting late tonight".
"I want to go home with daddy tonight". Displaying a pout which shocked Eagle, Birdy's expression suddenly reminding him the first time he had conversed with Mads while they were in their respective fields where their animals were seperated by a tall strong fence too strong for even a sauropod to break out of.
"If you wash up and go to sleep now, I will let you stay with dad this weekend", Mads cooed with a soft and gentle voice.
"Listen to your mother and we will have fun this weekend. Just you and I". Eagle carried his daughter off the chair.
"Really? Dad, you will keep your promise, won't you?"
"Of course not. Just don't give your mom a hard time. When you are older, you may stay up later". Smiling at his daughter, Eagle handed her over to her mother.
"I love you, dad". Birdy got off her mother's lap, giving her father a hug before heading to the bath room to brush her teeth and take a bath.
"Her clothes are in the bathroom", Mads took hold of Eagle's left hand as he was about to open his mouth. "I know exactly what you are going to ask. Tonight, I will drive you home".
Birdy ran out of the bathroom just as she heard her mother speak, giving her father one more hug which was returned by her father before saying, "Goodnight daddy, I will see you in the School of Paradeisos tomorrow. I want to be a great eagle rider someday like you and mom". Finish her speach, running back to the bathroom, Birdy took her bath.
"Please help me tug Birdy away in bed tonight. I have things to discuss with Eagle tonight. It is regarding our daughter", Mads spoke briefly.
"No worries, Mads. Don't kill each other during your discussion". Always having a good sense of humor made it easy for Mads to live with Sarah and that was the vibe Eagle picked up on ever since he entered the house.
Mads took Eagle by the hand, dragging him towards the front door which was joined to the clothing shop saying, "Let's go. We will have some catching up tonight at the Satarbucks tonight. The bill is on me and my car is in front of the clothing shop".
A/N: I am trying to change my style of writing which will take some time to get use to.

Chapter 4: A cheap movie night.
"It has been a while since we have watched a film together. Why don't we watch new mutants tonight. Tuesday tickets are much cheaper than other days. I will pay for them tickets", Eagle said on the way.
"Don't you have to wake up early tomorrow?" Mads found a parking spot just in front of the mall.
"I can miss a bit of sleep. We have not hang out for a while. It is not a date".
"Trying to sound smooth again. I am not interested in dating anyone".
"Like I said, it is not a date. Don't tell me we can't be friends". Looking at Mads, Eagle gave her a wink.
"Alright, no worries, I was just messing with you. I will join you for a movie night but first let me buy the coffee".
"Sounds good to me".
"You aren't trying to act like Miguel Diaz, are you?"Giggling away, she jab him in the ribs as usual.
"Who?" Eagle looking confuse once again.
"Did you ever watch Cobra Kai? The sequel to Karate Kid?" Mads laugh while hitting Eagle.
"I did. I only remember Johnny Lawrence". Eagle allowed Mads to keep on hitting him playfully.
Entering the Starbucks coffee shop which is surprisingly quite tonight, Mad purchased two blonde roast coffees with minimum sugar. "No sugar for you tonight". She stuck out her tongue at him.
"Fine. I don't take sugar before sleep anyway. Not since, I have gained some weight before joining the School of Paradeisos". Taking his coffee form Mads and leading the way to the cinema which was a few floors up. "We will have to use three escalators".
"Thank you, Captain Obvious. On second thought, you have loss that belly fat since we last met". Examining his abs and poking them with her left index finger before jabbing him in the ribs.
"Hey you!"
"Catch me if you can". Chasing a surprisingly fast Mads all the way to the cinema, they paused to catch their breath the moment they reach their destination. "That was a good work out".
"I will buy the tickets". Leading the way to the counter.
"Yeah, yeah!" Following Eagle to the counter. "Do you know one thing. I believe you will actually be a married man soon".
"Really? Who would want a guy like me?"
"I am not too sure but I believe we will soon have new comers joining us very soon". No sooner had Mads finished speaking did someone familiar come along. She had long blonde hair and was carrying a five year old girl with red hair.
"Mom, I want to watch Trolls". The girl cried.
"Honey, it is night. We will have to wait tomorrow". Cutting pass Eagle and Mads without noticing them, the blonde was trying to calm down her daughter.
"I hate you, mom".
"Tomi? Is that you?" Walking in front of Eagle and calling out to the blonde, Mads nearly spilled her coffee.
"Mads?" Turning arounds, Tomi embraced Mads with her free hand before letting go and introducing her daughter. "Meet my daughter, Mertle".
"Hi Mertle". Touching the five year old red head's hair with left hand, Mad's cooed. "Its nice to meet you".
"Hello", Mertle smilled.
"Where have you been all this while". Turning back to Tomi, the brunette noticed that Eagle had already gone ahead to pay for the tickets.
"I have been busy juggling my work and taking care of Mertle as well as partying. This baby belongs to Edward".
"But didn't you both break up on graduation day?"
"We did but he invited me to a party too years after and thats when it all happened. I will tell you more later. Your friend is coming back with the tickets".
"He is Eagle".
Taking a look at the young man who once attempted to win her attention back in high school, Tomi looked at Eagle, shock that she did not recognise him earlier on. "Eagle, hi there its been a while?"
"Hi, Tomi. Long time no see. I am just watching a movie with Mads tonight".
"Are you both dating?"
"No ways". Eagle and Mads replied in unison.
"What film are you guys watching?"
"New Mutants, I guess, Eagle bought the tickets so............"Pointing at Eagle before jabbing him in the left rib, Mads giggled.
"I am watching New Mutants too. Please wait here while I buy a ticket for my daughter and I. Help me look after her". Handing Mertle to Mads before running off to the counter.
"Need a hand?" Turning towards Mads, Eagle smirked while looking at Mads with both her hands full.
"Carry Mertle for me?"
"Alright but your coffee is mine". Taking Mertle from Mads and laughing. "Hi Mertle".
"Yeah right". Jabbing Eagle in the ribs again, the brunette caused Eagle to fliched just as the red head daughter of Tomi greeted him in return.
"I am back. Are you both ready?" Tomi asked.
"I certainly am but I am not sure if Eagle is".
"We will leave him behind than", Taking her daughter back from him before heading towards cinema number 1 which is IMAX.
Grabbing Eagle by the wrist, Mads dragged him along. "We are watching 3D tonight and don't worry, Tomi was just kidding".
"No I am not".
"I want some lolis".
"Alright, Mertle, darling, I will give you some as soon as we enter the cinema".
"No I want it now. I hate you mom".
"Really? Tomi? You are going to let her just be rude with no consequences", Mads asked looking annoyed.
"What would you do yourself?!" Tomi retorted.
Mads could not answer as she never really had to discipline her well behave daughter which she had with Eagle. All of them headed into the cinema which was relatively spacious.
"So what are you doing with yourself?" Tomi asked after handing Mertle the bag of lollies which she bought while purchasing a ticket for both her daughter and herself.
"I am now an eagle rider and still working in the same clothing shop with Sarah".
"That is great to hear. Is Eagle an eagle rider too? I have always heard about eagle riders and what Mr Buffalo said about them"
"He surely is. Come to the School of Paradeisos this saturday and I will show you my royal blue eagle. Her name is Azul. Lunch will be free".
"It is a done deal. I have always been interested in eagles". Little did Tomi remember the first sentence Eagle said when they first met. If I could only fly like an Eagle.
The film was so enjoyable that time seemed to pass quickly, Mertle fell asleep on Tomi's lap. After walking to the blonde and her daughter to her car in the parking lot and making sure she got into the car safely, Eagle and Mads headed to the front of the shopping mall and got into the brunette's car. On the way home, Mads said, "I have a good time tonight. Birdy can stay with you every alternate week if you like".
"Sure thing. Thanks Mads".
"No worries, Eagle. Good night". She kissed him goodnight on the cheek before dropping him off in front of the School of Paradeisos. Since the main gate was shut, Eagle had to use one of his keys to open the small side gate on its left.
"Good night, Mads and thanks for the lift. Have a good night".

Chapter 5: Full time fatherhood.
A few months later, Mads got married to a tall lanky man of Eastern European heritage named Lawerence who was the same age as her. He was dressed in a blue bridegroom suit with a royal blue bow tie and has brown hair and eyes. He also commands a giant bluish white eagle.
"Congratulations, Mads", Eagle spoke up giving Mads a hug.
"Thank you so much, Eagle. Your turn will come". Mads returned the hug. "I will be gone for my honeymoon for one year, Birdy will stay with you full time from now on. I will be dropping by to visit her often".
"No worries. I am glad to make up for the time she had missed me. There are two rooms in my accomodation provided by the School of Paradeisos anyway and nobody has moved in so far. The Headmaster has agreed to let my daughter move in with me full time".
"That is great. I trust you will look after Birdy well".
"I am glad we can be friends although we had a funny past together", Eagle spoke up clearly regreting the things he had done.
"Hey, let what is gone be gone. I hold nothing against you and enjoyed all our catch ups. We will meet again soon". Mads headed into the neon blue lambogine with her husband before taking off.
Norman placed his hand on Eagle's right shoulder just as Birdy ran up towards him. "You will be a married man soon. In the meantime focus on being the best eagle rider and father you can be".
Tomi who had already become an eagle rider herself walked up to Eagle saying, "Mertle, stay here and play with Birdy, I need Eagle's help for a moment".
"Ok, mom. Don't take too long". Turning towards Birdy, she said, "Lets go play a game". Mertle became Birdy's new best friend.
At the backyard, Tomi showed Eagle her huge cyan eagle who refused to fly. "I can't get it to fly no matter how hard I try, how do you do it?"
"Firstly, you have to give your eagle a name. Secondly, you got to call your eagle either he or she depending on the gender. You are unable to command your eagle because no name has been given".
Eagle identified the cyan eagle as a male. This is because when he summoned Birdie, the cyan eagle showed an attraction towards her.
"Alright, I guess I will name my cyan eagle, Rio, he will bear the name of a macaw in that animation".
"You watch animation too?"
"My daughter watches it a lot". Proceeded to walk away after getting Rio to fly before turning around and asking, "One more thing, how do I call my eagle back?"
"You will have to call him by name just as I called mine by name".
"Your eagle has a similar name to your daughter, you won't get confuse would you?" Tomi showed hints of sacarsm.
"They both might have names that sound similar but the spelling is different".
"I am glad Mads does not need to worry about her daughter than. Just remember, I will be watching you", Tomi giggled before walking off.
Eagle headed back to the hall shortly where the wedding took place to look for his daughter.
Two more months went by quickly and Eagle quickly developed a strong bond with his daughter. He knew that his daughter will soon be able to decide if she wants to stay in the School of Paradeisos or go to the School of the Beast but for know, he took as much time as he could to impart what he had learned from Norman during his lessons.
With Mads still gone for her honeymoon with her husband, Eagle spend more time hanging out with Norman. "So how is Mona going to look after the children now?"
"She is entirely capable of looking after them regardless besides she still has her best friend Blue whom she met at School of the Beast. How is work at the warehouse?"
"I really like it. I have learned to wake up early and that job has helped me earned a decent income to buy m daughter's necessities. It is fun to look after my daughter".
"Have you decided if you want to get married or stay single the rest of your life?"
"Mads never told me she desired to get married. It seems it was only yesterday".
"The Headmaster told her who her husband is and he is the one who puts two people together here making him one but he allows us to make the decision".
"This is still new to me. I have always used the old school way".
"And it has got you nowhere, hasn't it?" Norman who was standing on the right side of Eagle turned to look at him. "We do things different here. So here lies the question, do you actually want to get married?"
Eagle said nothing but he watched Birdy running around with Mertle as well as the twin boys Nathan and Johnson. "I am glad our children are friends with each other".
"So am I but you have not answered my question yet and don't think for one moment I am going to let you off the hook. Time will pass very fast and while the Headmaster will not force you to do anything, he will not support you for doing it the old school way".
"Shall we take the children to KFC later on? It is Saturday and it is a better way for the children to get to know each other".
"Changing the subject I see. Very well, we will go to KFC tonight but the children are already getting to know each other very well. You should have just been honest and said you want to eat KFC. Unlike you I can't eat hot and spicy. My taste buds are entirely different from yours".
"Its just that I have grown up with spicy food and that is probably why half the time nobody joins me for lunch at work".
"Take a piece of advise. Put the company of friends above your food. I know you are a loyal friend. Just don't let you appetite for spicy food get in the way". The blue haired man gave Eagle a strong pat on the back before walking off.

Chapter 6: The arrival of familiar faces.
Adapting to life as a full time father, Eagle developed a strong trusting bond with his daughter. Birdy who was allowed to be herself revealed she resembled her father in many ways such as her love for animals especially birds. Everything seemed to be going smoothly and he felt blessed to have a daughter who is independent and obedient.
“Your daughter is a miracle child”, Norman commented as Eagle was watching his daughter play with the other children.
“May she be a better person than me”.Heading towards his own class after waving goodbye to his daughter. “So, Norman what are we learning today?”
“Today we have a few new comers. You will be surprise to see some of them”.
“Who are they exactly. It seems you know something that I don’t”.
“It will be a surprise”.
Following Norman into the class, seeing three of his old school mates which included Jake gave Eagle a brief shock. His former bully was equally shocked and surprised.
“Today, we have new comers to the class. I am glad the chairs are finally filled up”. The blue haired man smiled while looking around.
Looking around the class, Eagle discovered that every word Norman spoke was true. From the front to the back, all the seats were taken and there are now about a thousand people all together.“Wow, the class has increased in such a short time. This must be a miracle”.
“It is a miracle indeed. The other classes have also been filled out making me one of the main teachers which you guys also become provided you desire to”. Turning to the blackboard, Norman called out. “May I have the names of the new comers please? This is a very interpersonal environment. These who have any questions or just want to hang out”.
Class ended, a paranoid Eagle attempting to go out of class ahead of others was stopped by Jake, Bart, and Edward.
“Wait Eagle”, his former bully called out. “ I know we had a rough time in high school. It doesn’t have to be this way in the School of Parádeisos. Let’s be friends”.
Slowly turning around, Eagle turned around to see his former three tormentors smiling at him. Tomi walked passed Eagle and smiled before walking out of the class.
“You do not need to be best friends with them immediately. I know you have gone through a lot but forgive them as you have been forgiven yourself”, the blue haired and blue eyed teacher who was still in the class encouraged Eagle to put his past behind him. “Please do it for your daughter”.
Taking a while, Eagle finally relented. “Alright guys, lets put the past behind us. Welcome to the School of Parádeisos”.
“Isn’t it great to see former enemies now become friends. We need to love our enemies”. Speaking with authority yet with gentleness, Norman, continued. “You three will be given an eagle’s egg each based on your favourite colours when you go to the Headmaster’s office after this and if you do not have accomodations of your own, we will provide them for you”.
Shaking hands with Eagle and Norman, the three friends left.
“How do you feel with you three former bullies joining the class?”Norman asked Eagle with a concern facial expression while looking outside the window.
“I have forgiven them but there is a bit of fear and distrust considering what Jake who had been my former best friend since middle school did”.
“It is alright. Trust takes time to return as long as you have forgiven them and moved on with your life. Don’t worry none of them will be sharing unit with you but Edward will be in the Green Accomodation. Bart and Jake will be in the Yellow and Red accomodation respectively. This will give them the opportunity to mix with others outside their clique group. They will have to learn to take care of the eggs which will be given to them”. Norman tried to reassure him.
Eagle left the class only to spot Jake, Bart, and Edward holding a red, yellow, and bright green egg each as they were walking pass him without even Eagle noticing.
Taking a look at the children’s class through a small window glass on the door and seeing his daughter having lunch with the other children, knowing she will be in safe hands, Eagle decided to have lunch on his own today.
Heading out to the beach by public transport, he ordered his favourite hot and spicy kfc chicken three piece feed.
“Enjoying your food I see”, Eagle looked up only to see Tomi. “May I have a sit?”
“Sure, why not”. Eagle replied as Tomi sat down beside him.
“How is training your eagle going?” The blonde showed Eagle a lot more interest than usual.
“It is going good, Birdie is getting stronger each time”.
“Good to know you are doing well. I am finding it hard to control my cyan Eagle, Rio. He seems a little bit wild and out of control”.
“Just like Mertle I guess?”
“That is right. Just like her but worst”.
“The Headmaster said we are able to tame all animals and so did Norman but it’s our children whom we must not neglect. Whatever we sow, we shall reap. This means, our children will be a refection of what we teaches them”.
“I have spoiled Mertle too much. I never said no to her. Initially, I considered her actions to be cute but have not been able to put my food down without her throwing a fit”.
“Spare the rod, spoil the child”.
“I do not want to hit her?”
“There are other ways to discipline. Like following through with what you say, groundings, time outs, and removing a privilege. I have to do that with Birdy sometimes but she is generally a good girl”.
“You really are a good father. You seem to know how to get her in order”.
“That is after my life got in order thanks to the teachings of the Headmaster with Norman’s help”.

Chapter 7: Another strange dream.
Entering class, the blue haired and bright blue eyed man looked like he was thinking about something before taking his place on the seat and drinking a whole bottle of water. “I had a very strange dream yesterday night. I saw a cute seven year old blonde girl with bright blue eyes and wearing a bright blue dress touching a huge male blue ice bear before growing up into a woman. The male blue ice bear became one with a blue star before passing his power from the star to her”.
“I guess it means, the School of Parádeisos realises her authority“. Eagle answered without flinching surprising everybody especially his three former bullies.
“Well done, Eagle. You have a great gift in interpreting dreams. Keep on cultivating that gift”. Norman thanked Eagle.
Eagle noticed Tomi with an equally surprise look on the face as if to say, “I have never seen Eagle this confident before. He did not even flinch like he did in high school. He is a totally different person now”.
“Alright moving on, what does it mean when a male blue ice bear becomes the last blue star and destroys planet Diamond and its solar system”, Norman continued. The blue haired and bright blue eyed man pulled no punches when he ask questions and if nobody answers, he will answer them as they are without any watering down. “Everybody, draw the first thing that comes in your mind”.
Eagle proceeded to draw himself as a fully fledged eagle rider shinning bright green and a picture of his daughter as a full grown woman who looks like Mads with his green eyes. Turning to left, he noticed Tomi drawing herself married to an unknown man.
“Alright. Time is up, the picture reflects the deep desires of your heart and what you want to see. If you put the ways of the Kingdom of Parádeisos first, this deep desires implanted in your hearts by the Headmaster will come to past. Eagle you are still hiding something”. Norman who was walking around to look at what everyone drew stop for a moment when he looked at Eagle’s picture. “If you are not honest, it will not happen”.
“Alright, alright, lets go to eat KFC now”, Eagle pretended not to hear and got a knock on the head by Norman causing Tomi to giggle.
“Some things don’t change, do they?”the blonde on Eagle’s left smirked. “You still retain something that makes everybody laugh.You are such a funny and interesting person”.
While listening to Tomi, Eagle noticed Jake, Bart, and Edward who were sitting a few roles in front of them chatting away with some of the ladies. “That is right, Tomi, some things never changed”. He was watching his three former bullies and not even looking at Tomi.
Norman at that time had already left the class fifteen minutes early as he wanted to give his students time to socialise and mingle with each other. “I am going to check on my wife, sons, and the children. Use this fifteen minutes to get to know each other”.
“School of Parádeisos is not like the school of the Beast. Since many of us have jobs, we don’t have to attend classes which we are unable to unless we are here full time like Norman and Mona”, Eagle explained to a girl who goes only by Daniela Bragg, a slightly overweight woman with brown hair and hazel eyes, also known as Mis Strong by Jake which he ultimately ended up calling her, who happened to be sitting behind him and a year younger. Next to her was a guy named Adrian Lim, an Asian boy with Taiwanese heritagewho is five years younger than Daniela.
This is because Daniela asked him if it is compulsory to be in every class seconds ago. She became relief only to get annoyed when Eagle told her she was strong and does not need much oversight.
“I feel very much similar to the guy named Odd in the book Blue Diamond Kingdom. He behaves exactly like me in every way in terms of personality and he is a purple and green star warrior”. Adrian Lim spoke up. “My egg is cyan in colour anyway”.
“And mine is purple”, Mis Strong interjected. “Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Welcome to the School of Parádeisos”, Eagle warmly shook their hands. He was pleased to meet two new friends that very same day. “Let’s go for KFC, Tomi, come and join us”.
“I have to tend to my daughter today. She wants to go to the mall to get her favourite lollies”. Tomi explained.
“Alright, could you take Birdy along as she told me she wanted to hang out with Mertle yesterday and I promised her she could. I will pay for the expenses”. Eagle handed Tomi two hundred dollars. “If that is not enough, I will give you more”.
“It is alright, Eagle, I will bring your daughter along for free. Besides we are friends and my daughter loves your daughter very much”. Refusing to take the money, the blonde woman walked out of the room.
Eagle tagged along with Mis Strong and Adrian to a purple car which belonged to the large woman with brown hair and hazel eyes. The taller Asian nineteen year old boy took his place beside her in the front pessanger seat while Eagle sat on the back. They headed towards KFC which was not far from the shopping mall where Tomi’s work place is located in.
The three friends ordered a whole tub of friend chicken before splitting the bills paying for their share to Mis Strong who had obviously paid for everything using her debit card. Eagle noticed that Adrian and Mis Strong has similar magnetisms. They were both more naive than Tomi and Mads, Adrian never had a girlfriend in nineteen years of his life and Mis Strong who grew up in the School of Parádeisos never knew a man.
During their meal, Adrian would attempt to take selfies of Eagle and Mis Strong without them knowing. He was always caught out regardless.
A/N: The next three chapters will be on Mads’ honeymoon.

Chapter 8: Work in the warehouse.
Waking up early in the morning, switching on the light, gently carrying his daughter who was still sleeping soundly from her bed in her room which had dolls and every cute toy accumulated both when she was living with her mother and from him. He would buy her gifts from time to time and looking at her reminded her of Mads.
Eagle gently carried Birdy all the way from his unit to Norman’s which was at in the school itself after dressing up in his work overalls. This required a bit of walking which Eagle didn’t mind. The door open and Mona greeted him with a hug as usual, “Hi Eagle, you are early today, Norman is in backyard training with his neon blue eagle. Go up and say hi”.
“I have to run to work now and will do so later”. Handing his daughter to Norman’s wife.
“That is alright, Eagle. I will see you later. You make a good father”. Taking Birdy from Eagle, Mona said goodbye as he took off to work.
“The first to show up for work again”.Eagle’s boss commented just as he was about to bundy on. “You know what I have decided to make an exception for you. Since you are such a hard worker and turn up before time and always do what is required of you, I am not going to be concern if you bundy on or not. In other words, if you don’t turn up, I know there is a good reason”.
“Thank you, Zack”. Eagle decided to bundy on anyway as it had become a habit.
“You are still free to bundy on as you did but as I said, it doesn’t bother me even if you don’t”.
Eagle thanked his boss and headed to work. He did stocktaking for the shoes and made his boxes which was surprisingly efficient and he finished his work before break.
His boss called him over, “Guess what, Eagle. Since, you are good in data entry and computer proficient. I have decided to move you to do data entry for us. You will be able to spend more time with your daughter and come to work later at nine o’ clock in the morning instead of four and you are hired full time which means you are now entitled to holiday pay, sick pay, and all other entitlements my full time workers have. Do you agree? If you do, please read the contract and you can begin your new position tomorrow”.
Signing the contract after reading it, Eagle obtained his new position. For the next few months, it was a smooth transition at work as he was now had the job he desired and could now spend more time with his daughter as well as Tomi, Norman, Adrian, and Mis Strong, who was placed to look after the children under Mona.
Adrian was taken under Norman’s 24/7 discipleship and followed him around everywhere. He always made sure he sat in the front of the class at all times. Being an overly affectionate person (once he hugged someone, he did not know when to let go - only refraining from hugging Norman and Eagle that way), it made some of the Eagle riders uncomfortable especially Jake, Bart, and Edward.
Being able to stay awake later due to his new position in his work, Eagle could hang out with Adrian and Mis Strong and sometimes even Tomi whenever they went for a movie to watch or play some bowling, a game which Eagle hated and refused to play only coming along to keep his friends company.
“Aren’t you going to have a game?” Norman asked once. “It is pretty fun”.
“No, I will just watch”. Eagle did not want to talk much about bowling and one of the reasons why he hated bowling so much was because of the time he first started playing in middle school on his thirteen birthday. During that time, he missed most of his hits and his ‘friends’ who came along not because of him but Jake’s popularity laugh at him. “You are so pathetic, Eagle. Even a five year old can do better than you”.
To prove that, one of the boys who took his five year old brother among ordered his brother to throw the same bowling ball which Eagle used and actually scored more points than Eagle who ran home crying. That was when he was only thirteen and his twenty six birthday had just passed.
Remembering these times nearly brought tears to his eyes but he refused to cry as he did not want all attention to come upon him nor did he want to ruin his daughter’s fun. “Birdy, Mertle, Nathan, and Johnson are doing well, aren’t they?” Eagle turned to speak to Norman clearly trying to hide the sorrow in his heart.
“They are doing well indeed”. Norman replied. The blue haired and bright blue eyed tall muscular man pushed Adrian, who could not mind his own business and was attempting to eve drop, away lightly but enough to give the young Asian boy the hint they are having a private conversation.
“You are hiding something again. There are issues in your heart that you have still refused to address and it all comes down to one thing, you might be able to fool others around you by being calm and acting like Spock from StarTrack film which is obviously your favourite character but deep down inside you hurt a lot, it stems down to just one thing. You are unable to forgive yourself. That is the reason for your self loath”. Norman pointed that out gently and firmly before returning to the game but not before saying, “Think through this tonight“.
“Wait, how did you know?” Eagle asked while watching Adrian and Mis Strong playing together happily.
“I do not know everything but the Headmaster does. He reveals whatever he wants to reveal”.
Eagle sat alone for the rest of the night thinking about what Norman had said except a few occasions when Birdy came rushing back saying, “Daddy, I won!”

Chapter 9: The time of rest.
The end of the year had finally arrived, Mads and her husband had returned from their honeymoon. “Hello, Eagle, it has been a long time”. She ran towards him, giving him a hug, the usual tight one.
“Still strong for a petite woman”. Eagle teased only to earn a punch in the chest. “I thought I would get use to these punches by now”. He placed his right arm on his chest to smooth the pain causing Mads to giggle as usual. “Our Birdy is doing fine by the way. She is making friends with Mertle and growing up pretty quick”.
“It is the end of the year and if you nothing to do, Lawrence and I would like to catch up with you tonight”.
“I wouldn’t mind catching up. Birdy has asked me everyday when she will be able to see you again. I will invite my two new friends, Adrian and Rebecca/Mis Strong to come along”.
“No worries. See you tonight at.......”
“My unit.Birdy would like to show you her room”.
“See you later”. Mads responded with a kiss before running off.
Later on at Eagle’s unit while Adrian and Mis Strong were preoccupied with watching a film together on the television, Lawerence and Mads took him to the kitchen and the brunette who was once a popular girl in School of the Beast said, “My husband and I are going to the north to follow one of the teacher’s who has been given permission by the Headmaster to start and a lead an extension of School of Paradeisos which has already been built there. We found that new branch during our honeymoon and Norman has given him permission to do so. Regarding, Birdy, we will be taking her with us and her things as well but don’t worry. You still will be able to see her anytime you like, I am sure your bright green eagle can get there. Here is the address. This will give our daughter time to bond with her stepfather. Are you alright with that?”
“Let’s get Birdy to see what she says”.
Birdy came running out of the room hugging Eagle before saying, “I love you daddy but I want to spend time with mommy”.
“Well it looks like our daughter will be going with you after all”, Eagle have a smile while placing Birdy on his lap.
“As I said. You are always welcome to see her. I am glad we can still be friends despite everything we have gone through. Not everybody can do that”.
“It is a blessing in disguise”. Eagle smiled while looking out of the window at the stars.
“We will come over and pack Birdy’s things tomorrow evening. In the meantime, let’s enjoy New Year’s Eve with your two guest, they would not like to be left alone and head out to the beach where many of us will be gathered together tonight”.
Eagle, who was carrying Birdy,Lawrence, Mads, Adrian, and Mis Strong headed to the beach where they enjoyed the fireworks and the people cheering. They were greeted by Norman and his family who arrived ahead of them.
“I am certainly glad we can celebrate New Year’s Eve together”, Tomi arrived with Mertle in her arms.
Taking Eagle a few hundred metres from the group, Mads asked, “Have you made the decision yet?”
“What?”
“I never thought I was going to marry a great man and eagle rider like Lawrence. If had never forgiven myself, I would have never been married to him. You should really consider embracing your desire for a spouse and it will be good if you do so. I am not forcing you. All I want is to see you happy which you already are. Just don’t want you to miss out on something so beautiful which I know you want deep inside”. These words gave Eagle plenty to think about and even the fireworks and everybody wishing each other, “Happy New Year could not make him forget these words”.
The next evening, Lawerence arrived with Mads and a few men to remove Birdy’s belongings from her room and leaving to the north for good but not before allowing his wife and his step daughter to hug and kiss Eagle goodbye.
Left to himself, Eagle looked at the picture he had with Birdy and though he missed his daughter, he was happy that she will grow up with both parents.
Breaking down in tears which washed his eyes and released all the tension which was in his heart that had been bottled up, Eagle felt free and finally embraced his inner desires.
The following year, Eagle was happily married to Tomi after getting confirmation from the Headmaster and his leader, Norman.
Lawrence and Mads who had returned to witness their wedding together with Birdy. The brunette approached both of them saying, “I knew you would finally make the decision” while embracing both Eagle and Tomi in a hug with both her hands.
Now, it was Eagle and Tomi’s turn to leave for a honeymoon for one year and they allowed Lawrence and Mads to take care of Birdy and even Mertle who didn’t mind as she wanted to be with his best friend. Moreover, the daughter of Tomi knew that she will be able to watch plenty of movies with her best friend and Mads is not really a strict mother.
Another five years when by very quickly and the children were now twelve. Eagle and Tomi had a daughter of their own whom they named Bondi Green, who was born with brown hair and green eyes. While everything seems peaceful and going smooth. Furthermore, his boss Zack even promoted the half Asian man as supervisor over his warehouse making him second in charge after him. This happened three years after, Eagle married Tomi. However, due to the lessons thought by his blue haired teacher, Eagle had learned newer to let his guard down and continued training even in times of peace and prosperity.

Chapter 10: A division and decision.
A year passed and some of the children who had reach thirteen years of age now had to make the decision - either to stay on in the School of Paradeisos or to attend the School of the Beast.
“You are NOT my father”, Mertle told Eagle, clearly making her decision. “Therefore, you have no control over my life and decision. Which of you is coming with me?”
Johnson opt to follow Mertle to the School of the Beast while Nathan decided to continue staying behind as an eagle rider.
“Mertle, please think this through”, Tomi wept and the look on her face clearly begging her daughter to reconsider her choice.
“Sorry, mom, I have made my choice. Today is the day I am free and independent. I will do as I please. How about you, Birdy, who will you follow?” Mertle look into the green eyes of her best friend with her very own green eyes sneering as if to say, “Make the wrong move and that’s the end of our friendship”.
Birdy hesitated for a moment. She looked into the ocean blue eyes of her mother who seems to be begging her to make the right decision before turning to look at Eagle who had his left arm around a weeping Tomi and then turned on more time to look at her step father, Lawrence who said nothing but placed his hand on Mads who would not stop begging with her facial expression. “I will go with Mertle and Johnson, sorry mom and dad. I am tired of moving place to place and it’s time for me to decide my own destiny”.
That was the last time the three children were ever seen for a while. They decided to live a life of their own as they followed Jake, Bart, Edward, Adrian, Mis Strong, and many others out of the School of Paradeisos. The people who left consist mainly of these who were friends with Jake.
“How did this happen?” Eagle asked after the children who decided to leave did.
“Everybody has a choice to make and by thirteen years of age, that is when choices are made. This is not the first time, it has happened. It also looks like Jake has planning all along. He has been planning to cause this division before your wedding it seems”.
Confirming Norman’s words, Tomi spoke up, “Now I understand why Mertle has begun distancing herself from Eagle and myself for the past three months before her 13th birthday preferring to stay over at Edward’s house most of the time. She had been taking Birdy along with her. Please forgive me, Eagle, Mads, and Lawrence”.
“It’s not your fault. Everybody has got to make their decision sometime on another. Eagle, Lawrence, and myself have already thought Birdy the best we could. All we can hope and believe for is the best”, Mads got out of her seat beside Lawrence and walked towards Tomi, hugging her best friend who was sobbing. “I thought our children who become Eagle riders having been spared our pain but it seems like it is they take after us both the good and bad”. Turning towards Mads while still embracing Tomi, she continued, “And Birdy takes after you too I haven’t forgotten”. Punching Eagle in the knee while laughing, Mads certainly knew how to light up a room even during the saddest of times which shows as everybody laugh along before she took her rightful place beside Lawerence.
“Both Lawrence and Mads are going back to the north tomorrow. They are here for a visit today. While half the eagle rider’s are gone, thankfully these small children twelve and under have remained”. Norman spoke up the moment the class quoted down. “Today, I will let you in on a secret of your Eagle’s. An Eagle is not only as strong as its rider but is also only as noble. In other words, an Eagle cannot get more noble than its rider is. Besides, your eagle will not live as long as you as when the time comes for battle, your eagle would most likely be targeted first as he or she depending on the gender of your eagle will protect you the best it can. I know this is hard to hear for some of you are close to your birds. While, I had advised you Eagle riders to care for your eagles, this possess includes feeling like a parent letting go of their children”. Norman explained to the whole class. “I have been an eagle rider for nine years now and my neon blue eagle has surprisingly lived this long. She must be really strong. Among these with the most powerful eagles include Lawrence, Mads, Tomi, and especially you, Eagle. Your bright green eagle is the strongest out of all”.
While everyone was clapping this hands, Eagle remembered Jake making fun of him back in high school not once but several times. “You are the weakest link, Eagle. Our team is only as strong as its weakest link and I accept no weakness. You screw up the game for the rest of us and I will kill you myself”. This happened when Jake and his new friends played soccer for fun and called Eagle to come along to fill in the void as nobody was available at that time. This same incident repeated itself a month while Eagle was riding his bright green eagle only for Jake’s red eagle to easily catch up. “Still as weak as ever aren’t you. You have got everything from me. I even had Tomi before you”. Eagle at that time knew something was up but he did not catch on at that time but he did notice Jake slowly slipping back into his old ways. Although they did not get in a physical fight, his former bully was using his mouth a lot more to put him down which started the same time his red head step daughter, Mertle distance herself from him and Tomi.
“Hey, Eagle. You are drifting back to the past. Let it go. That is no longer you. Focus on what is happening now”. Norman called out.

Interlude: Jake, Bart, and Edward.
“Hurray. We have graduated”, Bart said to the rest of the group.
“We have indeed. Each and everyone of us here have become a champion”, replied the leader of the three most popular boys.
“We are going to work together in the largest company together. Hey where are you three girls going?” Edward asked.
“You boys can go on and work in the company. We are going on to something better which is obviously something you three boys are not ready for yet. We will be meeting again sometime in the future but for now goodbye”. Veronica, the leader of the new popular girls led Lusiana, Alicia, and Julianna away before they disappeared in thin air.
“Looks like we lost our girlfriends on the same day”, Bart looked dumb founded. “I always thought we will always be the ones to break hearts first of all”.
“It’s alright, Bart. Let’s go to our company, there are many more girls for us there. Who cares if they leave us. There is always plenty of fish in the sea. You thought me that years ago and for that I am grateful”, the tall brown haired muscles boy put his arm around the shorter blond hair blue eyed boy.
“You might be the shortest ofus three but we love you”, Edward spoke up. “It it we’re not for you, the both of us would not have been so popular today”.
“How exactly?”
“When you introduced Aiden Red and his friends to us”, the tall brown haired unofficial leader and slightly shorter red headed boy with bright green eyes answered in unison. “Let’s go to our new accomodation which has been provided for us by the company”.
The three friends headed to the Earthos Business Utensils Corp. There they quickly became the top three business men and got promoted to National manager. Twenty one sales managers were placed under them by the director of the company.
During that time, the three of them flirted with all the female managers under them as well as the female sales representatives under them. This lasted for seven years. Edward who had a threesome with Tomi and Alicia all the way till graduation was enjoying it the most. Life to them was a party every week as they would go out with their girlfriends while cheating on them. Eventually, their girlfriends found out about their affairs and gathered the female sales managers and sales representatives together.
Each of them took down a report of the three young men who had been dishonest and stole extra money while ripping off customers before revealing it to the director. Sadden by their dishonestly, the director not only fired them but kicked them out of the accomodation provided for them.
“See you later suckers. You mess with us girls and we will hang up and turn on you”, their three girlfriends surrounded by the other female managers and sales representatives made faces at Jake, Bart, and Edward as they walked out the company with their belongings.
“Where shall we go now?” Edward asked. “I don’t want to live under the bridge. He regretted not spending enough money. Not all three of them were extremely big spenders but having multiple girlfriends had cost them a lot.
“Wait. I see something”, Jake pointed at paper with a telephone number pasted on the bus stop. It had the number of a young woman named Noonso and underneath that number was a printed out sentence: If you need a home, please call up.
Bart took out his phone and gave Noonso a call.
“Hello?”a voice called up.
“This is Bart, we are looking for a home and need a place to live”.
“Come to the School of Paradeisos. There is plenty of free accomodations. I will meet you guys at the main gate”.
The three boys headed to the main gate and sure enough a dark skinned woman with curly hair was waiting for them. She greeted them with a childish way which makes one thing she was a teenager rather than 24 which was her real age. Her behaviour was just as childish as her name. She took them to her three friends: Sazy, Lavenia, and Erika. Sazy was a tanned skinned girl with black hair and black eyes, Lavenia was slightly taller than Jake and had hazel eyes and brown hair while Erika was a dark skinned petite young woman with black hair tied at the back like a pony tail. Shortly, a 5ft 10 inch young woman known only as 39 arrived and introduced herself to them.
Noonso introduced the three friends to Norman who told them what is is like to be an eagle rider before taking them to the Headmaster’s office. They were given a red, yellow, and bright green egg respectively.
Jake and his friends quickly bonded with Noonso and her friends and they hung out together everyday. Overtime, 39 left the School of Paradeisos after forming a relationship with the much older Principal King.
Noonso became jealous that Bart would look at almost every young woman with tanned skin and she really like the short young man with blond hair and blue eyes. She also had grudges on the way Norman runs the class. This was something Jake noticed.
“Hi there Noonso!” Three strange young women appeared in front of her as she was hanging out with Jake telling him all about her beef with Norman.
“Who are you?” She looked at them in shock and fear as they appeared out of nowhere.
“Allow is to introduce ourselves, my name is Veronica and these are my friends, Lusiana and Alicia. We are the ex girlfriends of Jake, Bart, and Edward respectively”.
“What do you want me for?”
“We know you are grieve the way things are run and we are here to help you fulfill your desires. Come with us and we will show you how to do it”.
“What about my friends?” Jake interjected.
“I told you that you will need us again someday, Jake and the day is finally here. Now come with us both of you and we will meet your friends together”.
All these happened before the great division in the School of Paradeisos which happened on the day the thirteen year olds were making an important decision.
