"Am going to kill you, you little bitch" Clinton ran towards me with a sharp dagger in his hand which reflected the moon's light, I tried to run to move away from him but my legs refuse to move I wanted to scream but my lips were sealed, I looked down at my legs and found them submerged in the ground. Rekel's laughter boomed from everywhere and when Clinton caught up with me he lifted up his hand and brought down the dagger... "
" haaaaaaaaaaa! " " haaaaaaaa! " I couldn't stop screaming, the door opened up and a maid rushed into the room and hugged me. It took me a few minutes to stop screaming but after that I just stayed there in her warm embrace shaking with sweat streaming down my face." it's just a dream Slyvia it's just a dream!" I kept telling myself that but it felt so real. I thought I had gotten over the events of that night but it looked like I was only fooling myself. How could I just be okay I had killed not just one man but two, the excitement of the previous day had made me temporarily forget that night but now it was all over it had come to hunt me once more. I don't know how but I slept again eventually and woke to the sound of knocking on my door. "come in" I reflexively answered forgetting that I was no longer in the orphanage. I took a look around the room and was mesmerized by its beauty.
Purple curtains hung from the windows barely blocking out the rays of the morning sun, it was big, bigger than my room at the orphanage and we were four people in a room. The floor was made of heated tiles and to the far end of the window was a table and a chair with a rack filled with books. The wardrobe was on the opposite end and it was large filled with dresses of different colors and designs. I could barely take my eyes off it, my bed felt soft little lying on a bunch of feathers. It was covered with pink satin sheets. And my quilt was warm and cozy.
"mistress it's time for breakfast pls let us get you ready the lord is waiting for you" the maid's voice brought me back to reality and she quickly ushered me to the bathroom. I was thoroughly scrubbed and the wounds on my back was treated and bandaged. All forms of scented oils were applied to my body. I felt like a baked turkey with all the dressing "__". A beautiful silk gown was brought to me, I had never seen anything like that in my 15 years of living. It was a deep red with an off hand design, a floral pattern was embroidered on it with golden thread. It felt soft to the touch, and was really conformable once I put it on. My hair was combed and oiled them tied Ina neat pony tail why my make up was done light... Yes I was wearing makeup hum! Never done that before. And the shoes o God the shoes were Beautiful a dull red with beautiful ox blood gemstones on it. It fit perfectly, and I felt like a princess going to a ball.
" Slyvia, my name is Lucas Asura and as you know we have adopted you into our family. My ancestors fought along side the first king to establish this great kingdom and since then we have contributed greatly to its growth by working in the military among other sectors. But all this you can read up on the clan history books, am going to be very frank with you I did not adopt you here as some charity case or because I want to do some good. It would do you well to do away with such Fantasies, Slyvia you are a young girl with a lot of potential, and u are here for what u can offer to the clan. You ma a well rivals that of even the royal family and you a tri-elemental with perfect affinities. But potential alone cannot guarantee your survival even now just being here has gotten you a fair number of enemies, you will have to get stronger and more powerful ". The food had tasted amazing and I was very happy with my "adopted parents " until the handsome blonde haired man who from all indications was the head of the Asura clan opened his equally beautiful mouth and I woke up from my day dream. What was I expecting that I would soon start living some fairy tale life. O pls like good things can ever come for free. It was only two of us sitting at the dinner table and I thought....
"from tomorrow you will start your training in everything so that you will be presentable as a true daughter of the Asura clan in six months" his annoying voice rang out once more making me feel like pushing his smug face. Wait a minute what is happening in six months. "sir if I may ask what is happening in six months" I couldn't help my self and spoke before I could stop it. But he answered me in a more annoyed voice.
"u will apply and enter the United college of the mystical arts"
