We stood at the edge of a long bridge that hung above an enormous earth crater about 30 feet up in the air.On the other side of the bridge was a dark and enormous structure that lot out of a horror film. The fence around the school stretched for miles that i couldnt see where it ends.
“Did you tell her that she could possibly die on this bridge before she even gets to the school?”
Mateo asks Yoda
“What does he mean?!”
“Theres a negative pole down there in the crater. And if you are not deemed worthy, you’ll fall through the bridge and have all your life sucked out of you” she answers casually
“What do you mean if i am not deemed worthy?”
“Exactly that. The bridge choses who’s worthy of this academy” Yohan answers
He had been quiet since we got thrown of of the tavern.
“And you chose to tell me this now!!”
“Quit whining and get on with it” Mateo teases
I gulp and take my first step unto the bridge.
“Go on,” Yoda urges. With an amused smirk on her face
I take another tentative step, and then another.
I feel beads of sweat drip down my face as the dread in my stomach increases with every step.
Halfway across the bridge, I make the mistake of looking down the bridge. It looks like an endless abyss, pitch black, with no sign of life down there. I wonder how many people have fallen into it while crossing this deathtrap. My knees buckle under the stress I'm feeling and I nearly fall to the ground.
“You okay there!” Mateo bellows
I ignore him and press forward.
I take my last step off the bridge and collapse to the ground.
I see the others all but walk across it with such ease that i’m surprised.
“You should have seen how you looked” Mateo mocks
He bucks his knees and wobbles them to mimic me then they all burst into laughter.
I stand up, annoyed. “That was a life and death and death situation that YOU didn’t think was important enough to brief me on!” i rant
“You wouldn’t have fallen through that bridge” Yoda says
“What do you mean? What you just knew that ‘I am worthy’ of this stupid bridge!” i yell
“Royal blood made this school. You were not going to fall because of the blood that runs through your veins” she answers
I feel my face go red with rage. If possibly there would have been fumes blowing out of my ears.
“You tricked me!”
“Calm down fireball” Mateo chips in
“We don’t have time, the gates will be closing soon” Yohan tells us
He leads the way, taking long strides as we approach the grand academy gates.
When we get to the entrance, we are greeted by an entourage waiting for us. A tall dark man who had a deep scar across his eye. His face was neutral and his jaw set. With him were three other students, each in a different colored uniform.
“Welcome back Yohan” he says and shakes his hand
Then he looks at the rest of us and then finally lands on me. “You must be Arina Rucksov” he says, reaching out to shake my hand too.
“N-no, i mean I am” at this point i have to just accept that this is how I will be addressed
“My name is Idris Mensah, the headmaster of Daryn Training Academy” he says in his deep and rich toned voice.
“These are the section leaders, I trust that they will show you around and get you settled in. Enjoy your stay” he adds, before turning around and walking away.
The student in the green blazer steps forward. “I am Kwaku Asante, section leader for Ignis, this is Barbara Ansah, Section leader for Aqua, he gestures to a beautiful pale girl with bright blue hair in the blue blazer. And to my right is Sedem Awin, section leader for Aer, he says about the dark student in the gray blazer. He is dark and has a muscular build. His hair is shaved close to the skin. He looks at me with a surprisingly warm smile that sharply contrasts his appearance.
“I’m sure you’ve already been well acquainted with the section leader of Terra” he said
What was he talking about? I don’t know the section leader of Terra. I turn around to look at my entourage for some answers when Yohan steps forward.
“I am Yohan Valmont, section leader for Terra” he says with a deep stoic voice.
My heart drops to my stomach and I feel the blood drain from my face.
What else were these people hiding from me?
I look away, nervously. This is going to be a long one.

THE RAGING FRINX Lose Control - Yohan
The cold night air bites at my skin, but I barely feel it. My senses are still tangled with her—her energy, her fire, the way her pulse thrummed beneath my fingers when I adjusted her stance. The way she almost—I shake the thought away. Whatever almost happened was a mistake. It had to be.But as we walk in silence toward her quarters, I can still feel the ghost of her warmth lingering on my skin. I shouldn’t have come to Anoryl, shouldn’t have risked crossing the glaciers, shouldn’t have thrown myself into enemy territory for someone I didn’t even know. It was reckless, foolish. And yet, when I saw her for the first time, something in me stilled. Like the world had been shifting beneath my feet for years, and now, finally, it had stopped.I hate that feeling. That pull. That loss of control.She walks ahead of me, her shoulders squared, but I don’t miss the way she rubs at her arms, as if trying to shake off a chill. Or perhaps something else entirely. I keep my pace slow, my steps
THE RAGING FRINX Focus
The evening air is crisp as I step into the open yard, my breath curling in the cold. Overhead, the moon hangs like a silver coin, casting long shadows across the training grounds. Yohan is already there, standing near a row of fire-resistant dummies. He looks up at my approach, his sharp features bathed in moonlight. For a moment, he simply watches me, his deep blue eyes unreadable.“You came,” he says, his voice low.I cross my arms. “You told me not to be late.”A flicker of something crosses his face, amusement perhaps, but it vanishes as he gestures toward the dummies. “Let’s begin.”I take a deep breath, rolling my shoulders as I step into position. My limbs are still sore from the incident with Reina, and the memory of losing control is fresh in my mind. Yohan circles me slowly, arms crossed.“Ignis energy isn’t just about power,” he begins. “It’s about control. You don’t just throw fire around and hope it lands. You guide it. You shape it.”I nod, already feeling the heat stir
THE RAGING FRINX More Secrets?
The morning after the incident with Reina, I wake up to a dull ache throbbing through my limbs. Every muscle protests as I shift in bed, my mind replaying the moment I lost control. The flicker of flames. The blast. Reina’s lifeless form sprawled across the gym floor.I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to will the memory away. Mateo had said she would be fine. That the AQUAs would heal her. But doubt gnawed at me. I had never felt that kind of power before, and the thought that it could happen again terrified me.A soft knock at the door startles me. I glance at the clock—training isn’t for another two hours. Pushing myself up with a wince, I mutter, “Come in.”Evelyn steps inside, shutting the door behind her. “I heard what happened.”I don’t respond immediately, staring down at my hands. What if I lost control again? What if next time, I really did kill someone?“Arina.” She kneels beside me, her voice softer now. “I know you’re scared.”I scoff. “Scared? I nearly killed Reina.”“But yo
THE RAGING FRINX IGNIS ENERGY
“You’re late.”Yohan’s voice cuts through the training room the moment I step inside.I scowl at him.The ropes of the sparring ring quiver as Reina climbs inside, rolling her shoulders in preparation for me.I glance around. No sign of Yoda or Mateo.“Where are they?” I ask.Yohan doesn’t answer. Instead, he turns on his heel and strides toward the ring, ignoring me completely.I grit my teeth. Who does he think he is? Without thinking, I yank off my boot and hurl it at his head.I don’t expect him to react so fast.Before it can hit him, he sidesteps effortlessly, spins, and incinerates the shoe midair with a burst of fire from his palm.I blink in shock. Well, I guess he’s Section Leader for a reason.“Excellent display of reflexes,” Mateo remarks, entering the room.Yohan’s gaze flicks to him, his expression darkening.“You’re late,” he mutters before stepping into the ring.“She’s sparring with me today,” he tells Reina, who is already strapping on her fighting gloves.“Be my gue
THE RAGING FRINX The Lost Frinx
My heart drops as my eyes lock with his.Yohan stands at the mouth of the passage, broad-shouldered and silent. The golden torchlight reflects off his hair, giving it an almost ethereal glow. My pulse quickens, though I refuse to let him see any fear. His posture is rigid, his stance sharp—like a blade ready to strike.“What exactly are you doing here?” His voice is even, but there is no warmth to it. Just scrutiny, cold and unrelenting.I square my shoulders. “I could ask you the same thing.”His gaze doesn’t waver, but for the briefest second, something flickers in his expression—hesitation, perhaps. If I had blinked, I would have missed it. But I hadn’t.Evelyn fidgets beside me, uneasy in the weight of the silence. Finally, Yohan exhales through his nose. “It doesn’t concern you.”His tone is clipped, dismissive.I press my lips into a thin line. “Neither does this concern you.”Something shifts in his jaw. He stares at me for a long moment, unreadable. Then, without another word,
THE RAGING FRINX Underground Chambers
The halls of the academy are eerily quiet at this hour. The moon’s silver glow filters through the arched windows, casting faint shadows that stretch and twist along the stone corridors. My pulse is steady, but I can’t shake the feeling that we’re being watched.“You’re sure about this?” I whisper, my voice barely above a breath.“Of course not,” Evelyn replies with a mischievous grin. “But that’s what makes it exciting.”She moves ahead, leading me down the eastern corridor where the iron gate looms before us—the last physical barrier between us and the underground chambers. It’s enormous, its surface carved with swirling sigils of protection. Every student knows this passage is forbidden, but that hasn’t stopped Evelyn from trying.I place a hand against the cold metal, my breath misting against the chill in the air. “How do we get past this?”Evelyn pulls out a small glass vial filled with a swirling silver liquid. “A little something I borrowed from the Aqua Wing.” She tilts the v
