1 Ingrid Morhneil

Today is a very special day for a lot of creatures living in the continent of Alcarya. Most of the mother of every household wake up early to prepare breakfast for their kids and look for their best outfits because today is the day they will announce the qualified students to enter the most prestigious academy in the continent. The Cambion Academy for gifted creatures. Where every year high ranking students and teachers of the academy attends the announcement to witness the new recruits. In the capital of Melromarc an aspiring student of Cambion Academy named Ingrid is very excited for the announcement. Her long blonde hair tied in a pony tail is dancing with the wind as she runs. Her mesmerizing deep blue eyes is as beautiful as the ocean, and just like the ocean it reflects the raise of the sun. Under her eyes are abyss color eye bags that seems like have been staying there for years. In fact she haven't sleep for the past two days at all, because she's so busy with all of her work. After all she have to make living in order to survive.

"Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me! Oops sorry!" The 15 year old lad apologizes for bumping the old man's cart full of apples, luckily all of them were safe. She look at the vendor and noticed that he is wearing a tattered clothes full of stitches. It is evident that the clothes have been use for a long time and haven't been replace since.

"Slow down young lady no ones gonna eat you if you fall behind isn't? How about an apple I'll give it for you for free" The old man said as he grab a piece of apple, give it to the girl and smiled.

"Oh Thank you, but I couldn't possibly eat this without paying. Here's 5 coppers I hope that's enough, cause that's all I have hahaha." she said while handing the 5 coppers in her hand to the old man.

"No you don't really have to, just like what I said it's free. Also apples only cost 3 coppers at most so that's just too much."

"I insist, just think of it as a thank you gift for calming me down. I'm actually one of the people that took the qualifying exam for Cambion Academy the other month, and today is the announcement of the qualified student so I was quite hysterical. It's my dream school after all."

"Oh really, that's very kind of you. How should I address you ma'am?"

"Ingrid, my name is Ingrid Morhneil" She said as she grab the mans arm and shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you Mr.?"

"Reynolds ma'am, the name is Reynold I'm a lowly commoner so I don't have a surname just like you." He said as he shake her hand as well.

"You can drop the ma'am I'm a runaway so you don't really have to give that much of a respect." she utters while smiling genuinely. A runaway is often seen in the community of noble's these days. Most of them are children of a baron in rural areas, it's because of the fact that they hate the injustices that are being done towards commoners specially demi human. A lot of demi humans are being sold as slaves and give them slavement seals to punish them whenever the owner is upset. In the land of Alcarya aside from being divided through race, people are also divided by class. Where rich aristocrats have most of the power and the poor have no choice but to follow.

"Well, Good luck to you ma- Ingrid. I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure you'll pass. Your kindness is enough to move people and I believe the academy is looking for people like you."

"Thank you Mr. Reynolds." she said with a smile.

"Oh by the way do you know where the town square is?... Mr. Reynolds? Where did he go?" Ingrid ponders as she look for the old man.

"Nevermind I guess I'll go ask somebody else."

The weather today is great just like always, after all Melromarc is known for being sunny all year long. Stalls are everywhere, there are street foods in the side of the street, and there are also some flowers blossoming on the trees. Children's can be also seen running around with kites and other toys. Birds are flying freely, enjoying their freedom. A man wearing all black is helping an old lady with carrying her bag, and then the man happily runs as he enjoy bathing under the sun.

"That's a thief!" Ingrid shouted on the top of her lungs. Now lets move forward...

INGRID'S POV:

Hmm now where is it, I guess I'll just ask someone. "Ah excuse me do you know where the town square is?" I ask to the man who seems like a noble. No, he's definitely a noble. He is wearing extravagant clothes that even have little shades of purple. I wonder how many family can that clothes feed? hundreds? Maybe or maybe more. The noble have a shiny blonde hair, it's so shiny that it actually reflects the sun and his green iris looks like a green frog. The man raised his blonde arch eye brow to me while his eyes look at me from head to toe.

"Go away commoner. You're ruining my beautiful hair just by your presence." he said with a voice of a dying monkey while dramatically holding his temple as if he's having an headache.

"Can you just ans-"

"Shoo." he said while waving his hand. As if he's telling me to leave already because I'm just wasting his time.

"What an asshole, he didn't even let me to finish what I'm about to say." I said to myself while making a grumpy face.

"Where the hell can I find the town square?!" I blurted out while walking to nowhere. Not minding the stares of other people around me. I'm quite distress already because of the arrogant noble boy. My blood boils every time I remember his eye brow that looks like a 7 year old kids drawing. As I slow down I noticed that I'm back to where I started earlier. I groaned loudly in the middle of the road. I should have went here earlier, I'm about to be late for the announcement. What if I miss it? My future will be ruined. I will probably stay being a dish washer and I will meet an adventurer that is handsome but not very handsome and tall but not very tall. He will fall in love with me and since I don't have a choice I will be force to marry him and after 5 months I will be pregnant with triplets and upon giving birth I will die. This announcement is my only chance I have to make it. I look around me and saw a boy about my age stuff with a bunch of meat buns. Wait that's not meat buns isn't it? That should be something else cause that's a hell lot of meat buns. With that small body where will all of that go?

"Uhm hello? Do you know where the town square is?" I ask the boy nicely. "Hello?yohoo!" I said while gesturing both of my arms disturbing his eating. The boy look at me with his drowning stare, his eyes appear to be an abyss that is trying to pull me inside. He stared at me intently as if he's trying to figure out if I'm a good stranger or a bad stranger. Her parents must have taught him well, but if I happen to be a bad stranger and he look at me intently like that I would have grab all of his meat buns, throw it on the ground and step on it. The boy suddenly look puzzled however his emotions aren't shown as how it suppose to because his mouth currently have five meat buns stuff together inside. After that weird expression he walk away without looking at me.

"What a rude boy thank God you're cute. "I spouted while making a face. When the boy is about four meters away from me he turn his back and look at me as if he's saying to follow him. So I decided to follow him, after all I don't think he will do something bad, like he couldn't possibly become a bad person. He's to cute to be one, right?

As I'm following him I notice that the crowd is getting bigger and bigger, so I decided to stick to him more closely. After 5 minutes I saw A large group of a crowd infront of a stage. I guess I'm here already. Hayst after that long walk I finally arrive thanks to this cute boy?

" Where did he go? Yohoo! Cutie boy! Where are you?!" I shouted left and right trying to look for the young boy that help me. What's wrong with people these days, they kept disappearing without saying goodbye.
