Lumina Academy: Light and Shadow Realm Series 1 In the Luminous Realm, a realm where light and shadow waged an eternal conflict. One side sought harmony and peace, while the other yearned for chaos and destruction. Though their goals differed, they shared a common objective: to find the seven summoners of the Supreme Guardians, whose power could tip the balance of the realm. Unbeknownst to them there weren’t seven summoners, but only one special person… “Welcome to Lumina Academy! What element do you possess?” Written by: pinkfantaxxy ***

From stardust sown, a luminescence shall bloom,
An Imperial scion, dispelling spectral gloom.
A heart of sun, a mantle woven bright,
Luminous’ aegis strengthened by her light.
The birth of the princess brought immense joy to all Elementalists. At the same time, a prophecy emerged, foretelling the immense power of her divine light, a power destined to one day vanquish the dark forces trying to destroy the Luminous Realm.
Her light, the prophecy proclaimed, would become the Luminous Realm’s ultimate protection. However, just as everyone believed their hope had finally arrived, another prophecy emerged, casting a shadow over their brief period of joy.
But when the heavens mark her natal day,
A shadow stirs, to claim the radiance, and quence the sacred light away.
From void, it crawls, with tendrils dark and deep,
To silence the song that Luminous would keep.

Third Person’s Point of View
Today was a day of joy for the Elementalists, for it marked the birthday of Luminara Kingdom’s princess. Even while still in the Queen’s womb, she was already beloved by many. Time passed swiftly, and now the princess was celebrating her first birthday.
Just as the Elementalists celebrated her birth, they released lanterns into the night sky in every corner of the realm. As the lanterns illuminated the night, a grand banquet was also held within the Imperial Palace.
Royalty and nobles filled the hall, while commoners celebrated in every corner of the Luminara Kingdom. Joy spread through the atmosphere; laughter and dancing filled the air. However, unbeknownst to them, their joyous celebrations were about to descend into tragedy.
Their celebration abruptly ceased when a loud explosion echoed through the air. Everyone froze, and one of the king’s generals rushed towards the King and Queen, delivering words that instilled fear in all present:
“Your Imperial Majesty! Shadowfells infiltrated the palace!”
Panic swept through the crowd, but the queen’s fear was the most intense, her thoughts consumed by her daughter’s safety. She knew her two sons were well-protected, but her infant princess was far more vulnerable even though she had a lot of guards protecting her.
Driven by terror, she rushed to her daughter’s room, only to witness a horrifying scene: a familiar man, killing her child. The servants and knights who had been guarding the princess lay lifeless on the floor.
“No… no…” the queen whispered while still in denial.
The queen froze, witnessing her daughter being killed at the hands of her sister’s lover. Her knees weakened while she stared at the crib where she had left her daughter. She stood there horrified as the king arrived and attacked the man.
“You will pay for this!” The king shouted in anger as he attacked the man.
The two men fought fiercely until the king finally managed to kill the intruder. However, a pall of gloom descended upon the palace with the princess’ death. Her birth had been as bright as the sunlight, but her death was as dark and sorrowly as the night sky.
Everyone’s happiness changed into grief, especially the queen. Her pain quickly changed into bitter resentment towards her twin sister, the very person who had betrayed the entire Luminous Realm by falling in love with an enemy, and the same man who killed her princess.
And so, everyone can’t help but conclude that she helped her lover. Instantly, she was hated by everybody as they blamed her for the death of the Luminara Kingdom’s beloved princess.
“You will pay for this, Amethyst…”

Light and Shadow 28: Dark ArtsThe image then displayed glittering caverns filled with luminous crystals. “Beyond life, Gaialore is also the undisputed source of mana crystals, alongside a dazzling array of both common and exceedingly rare gemstones. But perhaps its most important treasure is hidden deep underground: the ancient World Tree of the Luminous Realm, whose roots go deeper than any other living thing,” Magister Citrine announced, her voice full of deep respect.A majestic, colossal tree, with roots going infinitely deep, took over the display. The ancient tree’s leaves glowed with a magical golden light. Its many branches spread wide, and its thick, twisted trunk gave off a soft white glow.Magister Citrine looked at the display with great respect as it showed glimpses of huge, twisted roots, glowing with a gentle, pulsing light. “Hidden inside these ancient, deepest roots is the sacred artifact of the earth wielders: the Rootstone Scepter. It wasn’t just carved; it’s a liv
Light and Shadow 27: Diving Deeper into LoreMedyo meanie rin pala ang ancient flame ng sacred three-headed dragon na ‘yon. O baka naman kasi gano’n din ang ugali ng dragon na ‘yon—suplado at matigas ang ulo. After that, the hologram displayed images of the three-headed dragon, the Emberheart Crucible, and the color of its flame, which was blue.These appeared to be very old paintings, enhanced by the realm’s growing magical technology.“According to ancient records, because it was the flame of the ancient sacred beast of the Flareon Kingdom, it was also a very destructive flame. It was different from any ordinary flame—no ordinary flame could match it. That’s why the Valencourt Royal Family’s bloodline is also very careful with it—only asking it to help them create formidable weapons, shields, armor, and tanks. This is because they are afraid of angering the ancient flame, a kind of flame that could easily turn anything or anyone into ashes. It is also the only kind of flame that cou
Light and Shadow 26: Elemental HistoryI’m here now in my special class, and Nana is my instructor right now. Unfortunately, Ingrid had to attend her own class, even though she didn’t want to. We’re both on the same floor; the only difference is she’s with her classmates while I’m alone with Nana, or rather, Magister Citrine.‘Yon daw kasi ang tawag sa kaniya rito.Dahil mag-isa ko lang ay isang maliit na classroom lang ang gamit namin ni Nana—Magister Citrine—na pwede na para sa aming dalawa. Isang table at chair para sa akin at sa harapan ay mayroong hologram kaya medyo madilim ang classroom.Since Tuesday ngayon, Elemental History ang subject ko. Tuwing TTH ang Elemental History ko—7 AM to 8:30 AM. Sunod naman ay ang Dark Arts—8:30 AM to 10 AM. Then one hour break—10 AM to 11 AM.Then after break ay last subject ko na, Herbology and Potion-Making—11 to 12:30 PM. Dahil nga half-day ay ibig sabihin ay makakatulog ako! Haha! Dahil 7 AM ang umpisa ng klase ko tuwing TTH, kailangan ko t
Light and Shadow 25: Ingrid’s BurdenHabang naglalakad kami ay feeling ko napakahaba ng greenhouse dahil sa mga tinginan ng mga judgerist na mga estudyante na ‘to. Napakaganda ng academy sa totoo lang, pero hindi ko nagugustuhan ang ugali ng mga estudyante na ‘to!“Hey. Don’t mind them na lang,” narinig ko namang mahinahong bulong ni Ingrid na napansin yata ang hindi maipintang mukha ko ngayon.I took a deep breath, realizing how much Ingrid had been tolerating and what she’d been through inside the academy. I couldn’t stand these freaking entitled students anymore; to think I hadn’t been here long, yet they were already getting on my nerves!Ganiyan ba dapat ang pag-uugali, ‘maem’?Ingrid wasn’t the type of person to tolerate things kapag alam niyang mali. She was blunt. If she wanted to tell you something, good or bad, she’d tell it straight to your face, but still with respect. Ang kilalang ko ring Ingrid ay palaban, pero not to the point na nagiging-warfreak siya.Palaban with ele
Light and Shadow 24: Gossip and Glares“The light ability bestowed upon him by the Deity of Light, God Sidis, is still unknown—actually, not just his, but also his brother’s, the second imperial prince. Their elemental abilities aren’t publicly known, but one thing is for sure: their elemental abilities are rare, too,” she shrugged, taking another bite of her steak. Tumango ako habang napapa-isip kung ano ang pwedeng dahilan kung bakit hindi ‘yon alam ng nakararami.“Maybe their abilities are so rare that it’s not just the Shadowfells would go after them, but also even their own people,” I mused aloud. Mula sa gilid ng aking mata ay nakita kong natigilan si Ingrid kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya.Nakakunot ang kaniyang nuo at tila sang-ayon din sa sinabi ko. “Hmmm… siguro…” saad niya na tila mayroong malalim na iniisip.Napailing na lamang ako ng palihim bago tinapos ang pagkain at maya-maya pa ay gano’n din si Ingrid. Wala nang laman ang mga pinggan namin nang biglang nagliwanag ang bu
Light and Shadow 23: The Academy’s Pride“Uhm, Ingrid, what exactly do you mean by the Alphas having already achieved so much even though they’re still students like us?” I couldn’t help but ask, my curiosity piqued as we continued eating.Tumigil naman siya saglit sa pagkain at umakto pang nag-iisip. “Hmmm… that’s because their group is already considered the Luminous Realm’s heroes! The academy’s pride! They fought even the strongest Shadowfells and purified some of the lands they corrupted before! As in sila lang ang kayang makipag-one on one sa mga kalaban!” she answered, a hint of admiration in her voice. “Well, that was before the Shadowfells became even stronger,” she added, her tone dropping so low I almost didn’t catch it.“Gano’n sila kalakas?” Mahina ko ring tanong na ikinatango naman niya.“You see, our elements have different power levels depending on the amount of mana you possess, and the Alphas have exceptionally higher mana levels, therefore, their elements are on a h
