Long ago it was said that there was only one person who could use magic, a woman blessed by the Gods above. Known as the Ancestor of all magic, she was praised and worshiped by humans. But despite her high status she gave fair treatment to every single human she met, bestowing and teaching them simple elemental magic.
And not long after she became renowned to the whole world as The Queen of Magic and the Godās Daughter. But due to her kindness of bestowing magic to humans, the world was later engulfed into a dark age. Humans who got better in using magic oppressed those who were weaker than them.
She was horrified by the events that occurred only after a few months of giving humans the ability to use magic. With that on hand she prayed to her creators to have the humans stripped of their magical abilities. It was not only after 6 years of endless war and bloodshed had the Gods heeded her prayers and stripped the humans of their magic.
But since it was too long, humans had already taken advantage of the years that they were capable of using magic, creating kingdoms and dividing the lands. The Queen of Magic was displeased by the consequences of her actions, so to teach the humans a lesson she gave birth to seven children, each raised by her to wield different types of magic and knowledge.
The first daughter was Ira, a lady of refined elegance. She was given the element of Earth, to one day be able to stop wars that may occur once the Godās return the abilities of humans to use magic. She was told that she would be the guardian of their home and the overseer of the world as she was the first born.
The second daughter was Ava, a child with a very calm demeanor. She was given the element of Water to be able to help those who will suffer from drought as she was told that the Gods would make the humans pay for their foolishness. She was tasked to venture out into the world and help those who have nothing to drink and teach them the way of harvesting crops.
The third daughter was Lux, a woman filled with love. She was given the magic of Illusion to teach the humans that Sex is a sacred activity only to be done by a married couple. She was tasked to teach humans about true love, marriage and how to win against the temptation that surrounds them.
The fourth daughter was Bia, a strong willed girl who was taught that justice should be given fairly. She was given the element of Fire, her goal was to teach humans that life is not only about wars and winning, She was taught that even the tiniest achievement a single human could do should be appreciated and should be respected.
The fifth daughter was Dia, only born a few seconds after Bia; she was a girl who followed through her sister's goal and aided her when needed. She was given the magic of Copy, a magic that could copy other magic to be able to help Bia. She was taught that humans should live equally and disregard the feeling of jealousy as it would only lead to a life of cruelty.
The sixth daughter was Ace, a free spirited child. She was given the magic of Summoning, an ability where she can summon materials that she has a wide knowledge of. She learned from her mother that resting is not a bad thing, unless treated as an everyday task. Her goal was to help those who are struggling from hard work to take breathers and not force themselves to be perfect.
And lastly the seventh daughter was Ula, a curious child. She was given the magic of wood and plants and was given the knowledge on the importance of food and a balanced diet, that could help one person to live a long life. She was given the task of teaching humans how to create delicious kinds of food.
Under the watch of their mother, they all grew up to be wonderful women with unbelievable strength and diverse knowledge. As they reached the age of 18 their mother allowed them to fulfill the tasks given to them to prepare the humans from the wrath of the Gods. Each day the Queen of Magic would pray to the Gods, kneeling on the ground and head facing the floor, hands guiding her forehead from touching the ground.
Years had passed and her daughters had not yet returned, worried she asked her eldest daughter, Ira, to look for her sisters. But Ira could not find a single trace of their magic, only a few beautiful structures she knew were made by her sisters.
āMother, worry not. I am the overseer, I will find them and I will tell you where they areā Ira spoke with a calm voice while assisting her mother who was slowly growing ill due to mana strains that started to occur after the seventh daughter was born.
The Queen of Magic entrusted everything to her eldest as she knew that she would not last long, thus she started writing all her knowledge on magic from the simplest elemental magic to the most destructive and advanced magic she had passed down to her daughters.
A few more years had passed, but still not a single sign of the other daughters, Ira then decided that her vision as the overseer is somewhat limited. With an unbelievable amount of mana and strength she lifted their home and created the tallest plateau in the world. With her great effort came a price, most of her mana was consumed with only a little left. But with her creation the view she needed was given to her.
But with that she could now see the whole world from the deepest holes on the ground to the tallest trees ever to be found. But as her vision grew a horrifying sight emerged before her, it was too disturbing that she did not mention it to her ill mother. With clenched fists she watched as the world grew even darker than before. A tremendous amount of mana was starting to leak from her body, that it was concerning her mother.
One day a terrifying storm was making its way towards their home, Ira went to her mother to tell her that they might need to vacate the place and move underground for a while. But her mother declined the offer, with a smile on her face the Queen of Magic caressed her daughters face.
āDo not fear my child, I am not blind to not know of your sister's doings. I taught them what I knew was right, whatās about to come is their own choice. Humans are terrifying beings, so please keep these books hidden from them. One day a child will be born with my spirit guiding him to this place, when he arrives show him these books... ā
She spoke as thunderās roars grew louder as the storm grew closer. Ira with teary eyes placed her forehead on her mothers and made the promise of continuing to watch the world and guard their home. With the last of her breath the Queen of Magic mumbled her final words.
āI love you all, my daughtersā¦ā
A sudden gust of strong wind blew the doors of their home open, without hesitation Ira hid the books underground. Familiar footsteps made their way inside their home, they had returned.
Ira looked at them in tears, yet their eyes were cold and emotionless. They were wearing clothes different from what their mother gave them, there was not a single scent of their mothers love from them as they walked closer to the lifeless body of the Queen of Magic, passing by Ira without batting an eye.
āHave you abandoned your love for our mother? Have you all forgotten that we are a family?ā
Ira screamed begging them to remember something, but it was to no avail. Her sisters seemed to be fixated only on their mother. The six sisters joined hands above their mothers chest and began chanting using a language unknown to Ira.
A black ball appeared from their mothers chest and was taken by Bia, she glanced at Ira before shattering the ball. Filled with rage, Ira had lost her temper and rushed towards Bia with the intent of killing her sister but remembering her mother she could not do it.
Bia watched as her sister groveled on the white floor begging them to return to normal. But they did not reply, the six sisters held hands while surrounding their mother. Ira was dumbfounded, it seemed like a ritual of sorts.
With no temper left she manifested a wide scale magic that changed the world forever.
āEarth Magic: Terraforma!!ā she screamed as she continued to cry, the moment she lifted her head her mother and sisters had all vanished from their home, a bright sun and a twin rainbow could be found outside their home.
In a room inside a castle was a man wearing a uniform, watching over a woman who was wearing the same uniform as him but had a skirt. The woman was brushing her hair as the man continued to speakā¦
āThese were the only things I could decipher from the book, Princessā
The woman stopped brushing her hair glancing at the man from his reflection on the mirror, she gripped the comb tighter before walking towards the man. A bright smile was on her face, the man smiled back before lowering his head.
Before he could do so, a comb was suddenly shoved to his mouth, the woman still having a smile on her face. She kept on shoving it in his mouth, the man did not resist in any way, he simply allowed her to do as she pleases.
āDid I not tell you that when we are alone you can stop calling me Princess, L-y-o-n!ā
He nodded his head. The princess then removed the comb from his mouth allowing him to gasp a large quantity of air. He fixed his tie and locked his eyes on the princess, he sighed before lowering his head and apologizing.
āI sincerely apologize, but I am just a mere knight. I am not worthy of calling the princess only by her nameā¦ā
The princess sighed while scratching the skin in between her eyebrows, she turned around and waved her long black silky hair at him before returning to her seat and continuing to brush her hair.
Lyon lifted his head and stood in his place; he was silent as he kept his eyes on the princess. The room was filled with silence as he had given her report to her, sh calmly stood up leaving the comb on the desk in front of the mirror
She looked at him and he immediately walked towards the door, opening it before the princess could come close to it. Annoyed, the princess created a small ball of water from her palm and suddenly threw it towards Lyons face.
Lyon was just about to turn his head when the water ball suddenly evaporated filling the doorway with smoke. He took a quick step outside and watched the doorway carefully, another ball suddenly flew towards him, he was able to dodge it but to his surprise there was another one.
He grabbed it with his hand before turning it to smoke, hindering his vision. An ominous aura suddenly appeared from behind the smoke. It was the princess with a water blade ready to cut him.
With quick reflexes he used the heat from his body to evaporate the blade only inches before it could hit him. His plan was successful as he also caught the princess who took a wrong step and almost fell on the ground.
āPrincess, may I remind you that you are Princess Jiniya Avaritia. Daughter of the esteemed King Christopher Avaritia II. A single bruise would cause a major ruckus in the palace and I may lose my job as your knightā
Lyon lectured her before allowing her to walk properly. She smirked at him before showing her tongue, obviously annoying him. She then walked ahead of him, not even looking back.
Chapter End.
Ridding inside a carriage pulled by a single white horse was Lyon and the Princess who was blissfully watching as they passed the busiest street in the Avaritian Kingdom. Buildings were scattered around, from small restaurants to large jewelry stores, nobles walking around who saw the carriage would bow their heads to the carriage where they were as it passed by. Other carriages were also present with high ranking nobles onboard. Business was booming near the palace, but as they continued to follow the street buildings began to get smaller, stalls began to crowd the street as commoners scattered around buying fruits and vegetables. A blow on a horn by the coachman brought them to a halt, everyone moving to the side and falling in line before bowing their heads as the carriage passed by them. Not long after as the carriage p
The air that surrounded Metoki felt tense as his fear was to be imprisoned, as it could tarnish his family's name. Metoki Zeitod, the second son of the Zeitod family, well-known for their ability to craft absurd amounts of weapons requested by the Commander of the Royal Knights. If news was to break out that their son was buying fake items and especially a fake insignia, it could be a massive downfall of their business. Metoki was trembling as he uttered his answer to Lyons' question. āI-i bought it a-at a store f-further north from o-our schoolā¦ā He spoke head facing the ground, playing with his fingers trying to calm himself down. Jiniya sighed at the sight of Metoki trembling in fear, she whispered a few words to Lyon wherein he agreed to what she had
A few days earlier before the trial was even announced;. Inside a hidden dungeon under the Royal Palace, Lyon was watching the princess. Placed in a box-like room where a large pool was present, the smell of sea water filled the air as the sound of water rushed from large holes on the four corners of the rooms. He stood above an elevated section of the room where water could not reach him, gazing at the princess as she walked across the water that had a depth of between 1 to 2 feet. Her hand gracefully swung as if it was dancing along with her light brown skin. Lyon kept an emotionless face as the princess glanced back at him before she sat cross legged at a platform meant for sitting. Her lower body was submerged under the crystal like water that was brimming with mana, her hand forming a sign which caused the water to sud
The crowd was cheering as the Magic Trails had begun. Students displayed their abilities to the masses, varying from all types of elemental magic. The flooring of the bleachers started shaking over the people pounding their feets out of excitement. Amongst the crowd was Lyon, Jiniya, Lily, and Metoki who looked a bit bored, yawning and stretching as the participants were introduced. But a student caught Jiniyaās attention. Among the crowd of participants was a young boy, with the face of someone who was within the age gap of 12-14. The young boy with dark brown hair and misty gray eyes, his thin and frail looking body had differentiated him from the rest, the child was like a sore thumb amongst the crowd. To Jiniyaās surprise however, the child met with her eyes and started waving his hand.
The magic trials was an event held every year to which students can showcase their magical abilities and knowledge learned in school. Composed of various events that students have to pass, the magic trials was the most awaited event by the students. But their excitement is not only because of the trials, what excites everyone the most is the Avaritian Magic Tournament. A time in which a simple commoner could prove himself to be stronger than the rest. Earning a spot in the top 5 at the Magic tournament could raise a commoner status to a lesser noble. A lesser noble is someone above the commoners but below the average noble, despite the unequal treatment outside their home, a lesser noble could
A few minutes had passed by ever since Jiniya and Alistair had left the academy, their trip was silent until they reached the busy street. The night was about to come, there were fewer people who were outside. Those who were on the other hand were either eating dinner or taking a stroll. Their journey was supposed to be a silent ride until they reached the palace, until the princess had suddenly asked a question. A sudden traffic then appeared in front of them delaying their time of arrival. āCaptain Alister, what commotion is happening inside the palace?ā Jiniya asked. Her eyes gazing upon a restaurant filled with nobles, all joyously eating their high quality meal, cooked by high grade chefs. āI am not allowed to speak about it, dear princessā Alistair replied.
Jiniya sat quietly in front of her mirror, as her maids changed her clothes and brushed her hair. Her face emotionless and empty eyes looking at her figure on the reflective mirror. It's been years ever since Lyon gave her that dead glance. "Princess, please stand upā¦" one of the maids asked. The sound of the explosion brought her back to her usual self. She glanced at the door as the ground was suddenly shooked, not knowing she was undressed she ran towards the door. But was immediately stopped by her maids, she forcefully tried to get their hands off of her. She was pulled and tossed to her bed, coughing and cowering. Tears running down her eyes, she was in pain. The maids didn't know what to do, they were trained to take care of the Princess both physically and ment
"They all become guinea pigs, experimented on, mutilated, used as feeders, women who were captured are tortured, raped and used to give birth to more guinea pigs for their experiments! Now tell me captain, which of us is really inhuman?!" Arthur shouted face to face on the captain. Horrified, the captain suddenly dropped to his knees. Speechless on what he had just heard. He was just a newly assigned captain for the 12th squadron who guards the army on a marquess's domain further to the south west of the kingdom, which was near the Gluttire Forest. Most of the Captains were already informed through investigation in the selected few that Arthur had chosen. The Invidian Palace was known to experiment on humans, trying to modify their genes. Their goal was to create beings that could be considered as deities but failed again and aga
