"What he did??!!" Daisy asked in complete shock and excitement . "Let's go!!!" She said pulling my arm forcing me to run up the stairs .
"Calm down . . . . . " Helen yelled running after us .
"Are you crazy???" She yelled back to everyone .
"Ahhh we need more boys in this group . . . " Jay muttered finally catching up with us .
"Which door was it? . . . " Daisy pondered looking at the doors .
"This one . . . . . " I said leading everyone giving it a firm knock .
"One second!!!" Scarlets voice yelled out from inside causing everyone to step back a little reaching into their pockets .
"Yes?" Scarlet answered the door wearing a white shirt tucked into a medium length blue skirt and a blue ribbon necktie tied in a bow shape . "Ohhh!!! Hey sis!!!" She greeted me with a giant smile on her face and led us in .
"Hey!!!" Paul greeted us in his wheelchair with a similar happy smile .
Daisy was taken aback by the sight of Paul in a wheel chair, "Paul!!! Are you okay??!! I can heal you!!! Wait . . . I can't . . . . I need to rest!!" She said in a panic rushing to him .
"It's okay . . . your healing can't help me . . . . . I need to recover naturally . " He chuckled giving her a reassuring pat on the arm .
"Ummm Hello . . . . . Commander? . . . . Captain? . . . " Everyone else hesitantly greeted feeling a bit unsure what title to use .
"Paul would do fine . . . . . I'm a student like every one of you . " He smiled chuckling finding their nervousness amusing .
"Grand Master Scarlet would do!" Scarlet requested with a stern serious tone .
"Ummmm Yes Grand Master . . . " They all replied causing her to laugh out loud .
"I'm only joking!!! Scarlet is enough!!" She laughed uncontrollably making everyone feel uncomfortable slightly . . . .

"Take a seat!!! Make yourself at home!" She said leading us to the sofas where her armour laid on the floor on a large mat with a large bucket beside it .
"So . . . I already put forward a word to Deputy Headmistress . . . . your Duels would be cancelled tomorrow and rescheduled for next week . . . . . Since you guys got caught up in all this, I though you all need a rest . " He smiled to everyone .
"Ohh that would be great!!!" We all smiled back except me . . . . . I just wanted to get it over and done with, so I wouldn't need to worry about it anymore .
"So Paul . . . wow that feels weird . . . . . What happened to your legs? . . " Jay asked politely .
"Nothing really . . . . just pushed myself a little too hard . . . so my body needs time to recover . " He smiled .
"One second . . . I need to let Ashley know to bring more food up to us . " He smiled . . . . "I assume you guys staying for dinner? . . . . . I would normally cook… . But I'm kind a bound to this chair . " He chuckled .
"Ummm that would be great . . . . " We all agreed still feeling a bit uneasy . . .
"Well . . . . back to cleaning my armour . . . " She cursed sitting on the mat cross legged and began to curb her armour .
"Ummmm I can use a spell to help with that . . . . " Jay offered .
"Problem is . . . her armour is immune to magic and Scarlet has a sensitive nose . " Paul chuckled causing Jay to stare at the armour analysing it .
"Stupid armour . . . . stupid people . . . . why did they have to go get blood on my armour!!!" Scarlet cursed scrubbing really hard with a sponge and soapy water .
"Can I touch them? . . " Grace asked looking at the pair of already cleaned boots .
"Huh? . . . sure!!" Scarlet smiled and went back to scrubbing .
Grace very carefully looked at the piece of armour, "What metal is this made out of? . . . . . " She asked starring at it closely .
"That . . . . . Is the scales of a Platinum Dragon . " Paul whispered loudly giving it a more epic and ominous feel .
"Impossible . . . . Platinum Dragons are a myth . . . . " Helen and Grace looked back at him in shock and disbelief .

"Well you tell me then . . . . what else can grant her armour immunity to spells and damage . . . . . As well as being metal in nature and image . " He questioned their disbelief .
"But no one has ever seen a The Platinum Dragon… . He's only ever seen in dreams and visions" They both answered .
"Well . . . how else do you explain it… . . " He questioned them chuckling at their reaction .
"Can I pick it up? . . . " Grace asked .
"Sure if you can . " Scarlet replied sounding angrier by the second .
"What in the . . . . . " Grace uttered in disbelief being unable to lift it with both her hands . . . . . "How heavy is this thing? . . . " She questioned only being able to shift it a little across the floor .
"No way . . . . " Jay uttered walking to the boot and trying to lift it . . . "What the? . . . . " He replied in utter shock causing Paul to laugh a little .
"Here let me!" Daisy offered squatting down and giving it a huge heave, even with all the strength she only barely nudged corner off the ground by a fraction of a millimetre before dropping it back down almost instantly . "My God . . . . . What is that thing made of?" She uttered sweating and out of breath . "How can you even walk in these??!!!" She asked Scarlet .
"Easy put them on and walk . " She smiled causing everyone to question how on earth she could possibly be that strong . "Look . " she said with a smile effortlessly moving her two piece breastplate on the cleaned pile with one hand . There was no doubt the breastplate was much heavier than just her boots .
"What are y-" Jay uttered before getting slapped in the back of the head by Helen giving him a widened eye look trying to convey something to him .
"Ohhh interesting are you all Phoenix members? . . " Paul asking curiously .
"Yes we are . " We all smiled showing him our tattoos with pride .
"Nice . . . . wait… . no one is a dragon? . . . wow that sucks . . . . . " He replied looking a little depressed .
"You both have tattoo's right? . . " Helen asked making conversation .
"Yes mine is a Dragon on my shoulder and Scarlets is a Phoenix on her upper arm . " Paul answered her .
"Thanks for saving us out there . . . . by the way . " Jay commented taking a seat next to Helen .
"Don't mention it . . . . protecting Atlantis is my number one priority . " Paul smiled .
"By the way is it common etiquette to buy someone a meal or drink if they save your life? . . " I asked Paul remembering what Travis said .
"Yeah generally it is . . . . . It's not a rule… . . But its common courtesy a way of saying thanks . " He smiled .
"Ohh okay . . . . " I answered hoping it wasn't true . . . . . "By the way did Yuna and Sven make it back? . . " I asked since we never saw them since they got back .
"Yuna??? . . . . Hmmm" He began to think .
"The girl that you ordered to escort me back to the city . . . " I reminded him .
"Ohhhh . . . . . To be honest . . It was the first time I've interacted with her . . . . . " He apologised feeling a little guilty he forgot her name . . . . "And Sven? . . . . Sven Bovar? . . . " He questioned .
"Yeah . . . . . " I answered .
"Hmmm . . . . Sadly . . . I can't really check which student make sit back or not . . . . but I'll drop Ashley a message to get an update . " He apologised scratching his head .
"Umm Ashley can you get me an update on two students . . . Yuna and Sven Bovar . . . " Paul politely requested hearing his voice in my head .
"Sure . . . Yun who? . . . " Ashley's voice asked in return .
"Not sure . . . . . All Yuna's if there's more than one . " Paul answered .
"Okay sure . . . . I'll take a quick pit stop . " Ashley answered .
"Thanks bro . " Paul replied .
"See you in abit . " He replied .
"Ohhhh wait . . . you need to bring . . . . hmmmm . " Paul asked taking a slight pause to count us, "Meals for five more . " He requested .
"Really? . . . dude I only have two hands . " He commented . . . . . "Fine I'll get it done . " He sighed and cut the connection .
"So how long are you wheel chair bound? . . " Jay asked curiously as Daisy looked extremely worried .
"Sadly I'm out of action for a week or so . . . . . But I should be back on my feet in a few days . " He answered him .
"So you can't use magic at all right now? . . " He asked .
"Sadly . . I've spent myself way too much today . . . . . So yeah I wouldn't be able to cast anything for a week at least and I'm still super weak . . . . . " Paul smiled .
"Don't worry I'll protect you . " Daisy offered sounding excited jumping at the chance .
"No you're not . . . . you're a student . . . you have lessons to go to . " Paul instantly declined her offer making her instantly depressed slumping into the sofa leaning on me .
"He's right . . . " I giggled patting on her on the head .
"Don't worry I won't leave his side . " Scarlet said and went back to scrubbing her arm plates and gauntlets .
"Do you guys want to . . . . wear something more comfortable? . . . " He questioned noticing everyone was still in their armour and war gear .
"Ummm we'd have to get changed and come back . " Helen notified him .
"It's alright . . . . just pick some pyjamas out from Scarlets horde of clothes . " He suggested causing Scarlet to shoot him an intense look .
"Ahh don't worry Scarlet . . . . . I'll let you take triple back next time . " He smiled causing Scarlet to smile in glee and returned to clearing her armour but looked and seemed way more joyful .
"And Jay right? . . " He asked Jay .
"Yes . . . . " Jay replied .
"Just pick something out my wardrobe . . . there isn't much . . . maybe just shorts and a t-shirt he offered .
"If you don't mind . . . . " He asked like he didn't hear him correctly .
"Nonsense pick anything . " He smiled .
