Chapter 401 - Sleep Deprivation.

Dismotivated, sleep deprived and angry that King Michael told her what's what, she has decided to not join the Fire Manipulating training today. Originally, she doesn't really care that she got yelled at by a Grand Master but she lost sleep over the fact that she failed to build a proper Fire Tornado.

Failure is making her angry, the fact that she isn't qualified enough makes her angry. And of course she considered the King's words, especially when he spoke about the innocent who almost got killed.

Furthermore her ego has been hurt a lot, again it's not because she got yelled at but its because she felt sure that she herself could have reversed the Fire Tornado, regardless what King Michael said about the required time to stop one.

Eric and Dilli appearing in the scene became in her point of view, a misfortune. It is not like she hates them, but because of their interference she has been portrayed as weak in front of everyone.

Hell, she is 1/15 of the reason why the entire ill.u.s.tratian Alliance is at a millitary shortage, obviously more than capable to stop a Tornado even with the wound she had. Perhaps these thoughts of growing egoism is more rampant because she is lacking sleep, but like every individual she thinks that she has a point.

Obviously refusing to go training for today, or maybe the day after that as well, she makes her way to the Forges. There she obviously won't become a better Fire Manipulator/Controller (Both terms acceptable.) but at least in another aspect she will still become a better Blacksmith, lots of knowledge to pick up from this bundle of 50.

She felt like she will be able to find more peace here in the forge, or at least let out a bit of her rage piled up due to last night's event. Pounding on some metal will surely help for this case, but at the same time it can heavily tire her out. Regardless, that's not really her concern.

Eyil Denver, the Zamerian young man who has gifted her with a beautiful Dagger, approached her. Sensing that she is mad, he tried to be as calm as possible before talking to her. "Good afternoon."

Refusing to speak, Osira still continued to pound on the metal underneath her hammer. She wants to pretend like she didn't hear him, breaking in a conversation now is the last thing she would want to do.

"Hello..." Eyil spoke again, trying his best to communicate.

Stopping her work, avoiding to make eye contact with him with a tear already developing, she mildly shouted. "Why don't you just get back to work?"

"Alright, talk later." He answered, feeling bad that he couldn't help but also very embarrassed that he got yelled at by a girl in front of everyone.

This outburst caught the attention of a few Blacksmiths who heard Osira while they were on a mid swing against Iron, but to break their work and banter is obviously a bad option with a large monthly order to fill, delivery day is tommorow according to date.

Spending a couple more minutes on the forge, taking second after second to realise that she has over reacted, she stopped pounding on Iron and instead of going towards him with aims of apologising, she just casually walked away from the Forge, trying her best to avoid attention but not giving a damn even if she got any.

Making her way to the stable, she seeked Ada. They are best friends and if there is one person here who wound want Osira around regardless of how angry she is, it's Ada. Its not like Osira would want to get accepted by anyone, but she wants to be around a calmer soul with hopes of that calmness rubbing off on her.

Finally seeing Ada, she approached her and tapped on her shoulder. "Mind if I join you for work today?"

Recognizing Osira's voice as fast as the eye could blink, she answered without even turning around because she is brushing a Horse at the moment. "Of course, this place always needs extra hands."

Osira grabbed a little brush and started gently stroking the Horse from the other side, unintentionally the two ladies were forced to make eye contact with each other and Ada managed to see a tear slip.

Caring and bold enough, Ada asked. "What's the matter? Why are you crying Osira?"

Trying not to yell again, especially towards someone she cares so much for, Osira answered. "I... It just has been a rough day..."

...

Helping out in the Stable can fill a person with experience, and at the same time can torture nostrils. Around a person like Ada, Osira could obviously be learning a lot about Horses considering the overall knowledge in this Stable.

Obviously Osira did not come here for the Horses, but she did calm down by the passing hours and racked up some work experience as well. Upon finding a bit more peace, although sleep deprived she managed to count down the reasons of why her actions were nothing less but irresponsible and that everyone is just either trying to protect her or what they treasure.

Realising these facts, embarrassment rose higher and higher to the point where she made a horrible decision. Well she didn't kill anyone which is a good thing, but the bad thing is that she has chosen to part ways with everyone.

She doesn't feel like she fits in anymore after this mistake and often times has realized how her friends have become victim of her temper tantrums, today she even hurt the man she fancies.

She needs some time alone to figure things out, in the meantime she has decided to leave this place without a single trace. Sure a Calidum Lutum can be sent all the way to the edge of the Continent in the hidden domain do deliver a message regarding Osira, but who can say that she is going there?

Osira definitely does not have that decision in mind, she wants to tame her rage at the best way she sees possible, surviving in the wild. That can get anyone straight.

She will leave at the break of dawn, when everyone is asleep. As for will she ever see her friends again? Ada, Eric, Eyil, Dilli or any other? Only time will tell us about this decision.
