Infiltration

Amilia

We were split up into classes and the class I was put in was Dante, Me, and Four other students. The one in charge of our classes was Seralyn, our principal. We're sitting in her office as she talks to us. A painting of a sleeping griffin is behind her.

"Some people are born with the ability to use certain types of magic. But most types are learned," She instructed before pulling a set of metal bracelets from her desk drawer. Each of the bracelets were all a different size and shape. And in the center of each is a small diamond-shaped crystal. She walks around her office handing them to us. The one I'm handed looks like wind and is connected by the crystal. It tightens to fit my wrist perfectly before letting out a gust of air.

"These bracelets will teach you how to do one type of elemental magic, which I have assigned to you." She announced to us. "I will show each of you one spell from each type of element, you will learn your respective spell and show it before the end of the week," She told us. One by one she showed us each an elemental spell.

"This is a fire spell called Sperilium," She instructed. A flame began to surround her arm as it arched behind her and an arrow formed. Her hand was still covered in flames as she lifted it and pointed out the window of the office. The arrow flew out the window and landed in a pond where there were a small number of students.

"This spell is called Scafta," She stated. As all the water in the room began to float in front of her making a blade that shimmered and shined. Before she sent it to the ceiling where the water instantly evaporated into nothing.

"This spell is called Stervia," She continued. As her body began to be surrounded by dirt and stone. There wasn't even a little bit of skin exposed under the armor. The armor was made of several solid pieces that each helped make up the completed structure of the armor. It was lightweight and fit her perfectly. It looked as though she could fight anyone in the armor. Then she let it crumble to the ground. Before turning it into a flower pot with the wave of her hand. Before she sat down and pointed at a clock on her desk. The moment she pointed at the clock as the bell rang. Seralyn waved us out of class and pointed us in the direction of the buses.

The ringing of my phone wakes me up and the number calling me is an unsaved number. I accept the call and sit up, humming to get the grogginess out of my voice. The voice on the phone is heavily distorted and I immediately know it's my employer.

"It seems that Dante is finally getting what he deserves," He starts as I move over to my closet.

"Yeah and why is that?" I ask. Before I pull a black hood and sweatpants out of my closet.

"Someone wants us to kill him, but you already knew that," He answers before I receive a bank transfer for $100,000. After my phone dings he hangs up and leaves me to do my part of the job. The thing I hate the most. I change into my outfit and pull a briefcase out from under my bed and pull out my trusty daggers. The hilt is a white hilt that I wrapped in black electric tape while the blade itself is black steel that's been forged into a curve with a serrated end. I grab the daggers and put them in their sheaths. I hear a click and know the daggers are secure. I lock my room door before jumping off the balcony of my room before running into the shadows towards the second estate.

I stop at a wall that's surrounded by a defensive dome. It's a spell I've seen more than a dozen times. I begin to climb the wall and stop as high up as I can. Before I close my eyes and remind myself of a spell I learned a long time ago.

"Bytra," I cast and a small hole opens in the dome. I dive through it and it closes behind me. I fall through the leaves of a tree and land on a stick. My arms are wrapped around it so I don't fall the entire distance. I slowly lower myself as far down as I can before letting go. I hit the ground and roll to the side to lessen the impact of the fall. I hear a noise and run through the trees but I stop in the shadows. I'm in front of a manor that I can only assume is Dante's, there are guards standing in front of the door. I hear a noise behind me and turn around to see a guard pointing a spear at me. I pull my daggers out and slice at the spear cutting off the tip of it. By the time the guard even knows what happened I have him on the ground with a blade to his throat. He lets out a cry and I stab the head of his spear into his chest. He lets out a shrill cry before he faints. The guards at the door come running down towards us and I immediately take off running through the brush. The tree branches scratch at my skin as I weave my way through the trees and stop at a clearing,

Where there is a wolf laying down near Dante as he strokes its back.The air around them is stale and feels like it's full of electricity. I look behind me and see that the guard is nowhere in sight. I walk around the clearing close enough to the edge that I can see Dante. But far enough away that he can't see me. I move silently and the only sound is the rustling of the leaves on the ground and the few animals that are looking in my direction.

I stop when I'm behind him. It's a straight line to him and the wolf. The wolf seems to see me. It has its head pointed in my direction while the rest of its body is opposite Dante who is now laying on his back gazing at the stars. It's a sight I never would've imagined. I can feel myself beginning to hesitate as I take the first step towards him and an owl flies behind me and hits me in the head before a mist begins to come off of it. The closer it gets to Dante the more clear it becomes before it seems to completely fade from my sight. The entire time I'm spending staring at the owl. Dante has been spending staring at me.

When I look over to him he smiles before the wolf disappears and I feel myself getting weaker. As if my mana is being drained from me. He walks closer till he's right in front of me and then it stops.

"Hello Amilia," He stated as a guard walked out of the bush with a crossbow aimed at me.
