ELVIERA CRESTBEND

In a large field behind a very large and wide building that looks like an academy, several elven statues were scattered on the side of the field and on the rooftop of the building, it's clear that this is an elven property, in other words, welcome to Taimeria divine academy in kingdom Yarnat!

Yarnat which is known for its elven population, the kingdom are mainly elves, there are some humans between them but they don't exceed 1% from the population, all the government positions are only for elves as well as for the army, a complete kingdom for the elves that's always ruled by elves too.

The elves are known for being special in using divine energy and consequently divine magic, no elf is born without the ability to use divine energy, unlike humans who sometimes are born with and sometimes not, even the signs of the presence of divine energy appear at younger age with the elves, they're just special in it and a lot of them can use the raw divine art which is considered as the strongest art in the divine magic.

That's why the best divine academies in the continent lay there including the largest one, Taimeria divine academy, a group of experienced divine casters in all fields and arts are found there, humans interested in divine magic travels from everywhere to here for wisdom and knowledge.

Not just using divine energy in divine magic for divine casters, there's also the tons of researches done annually on the divine energy and how to better use it, the amount of projects that was created because of those studies and researches done by the elves are countless, there are many national projects and even some of them were used across the kingdoms to facilitate the living such as the teleporting circles, one of the most useful projects ever even though it depletes huge amount of divine energy in single teleport and using it is extra expensive, but that doesn't change the fact it helps with the urgent political matters or important things with any army, the ability to transfer from a city to another in few seconds was actually useful more than expected, and like the teleporting circles there are many other projects and researches that renders the elves not just a gifted people born with the talent to use divine energy, but also the great scientific researches that proves they are actually smart, hardworking people, and of course we're not forgetting their talent in beasts taming!

The Yarnat army is the only army having more than a squad composed of beast riders from different species, yes they can use the beasts in war and outside the army they benefit from them in various activities.

Overall, kingdom Yarnat is considered one of the pioneers in the kingdom, probably number one if it wasn't for Reldret's holy position because the only prophet was from there, and the elves are very conservative on the religious side, especially because they deeply think that they're the gods' favorites for granting them the talent to use divine energy better than humans, that was one of the reasons behind the outbreak of the great war between the kingdoms in the past, and even though the elves respect the gods, they didn't believe that the gods chose a human priest as the prophet instead of one of them, they thought that they have lost their religious way and sought redemption for their mistakes, the elves now changed a lot of things, but, they still got that condescending look over the others.

Back to the divine academy mentioned before, the large training field was occupied by only a woman, she was standing confidently staring at a large stone for training, the stones like this are used as targets to train young divine casters, they cast their various spells on them to train and develop themselves further.

The woman focused with her beautiful gray eyes at the stone, the long black-blue hair reaching the middle of her back and white skin made her shine as a real captivating beauty, she was wearing a light dark robe for female mages, completely unrevealing costume suited until the neck, her appearance shows that she is in her early twenties.

The woman raised her right hand and started moving her fingers continuously, she took a deep breath before the faint blue stream of divine energy started moving smoothly between her fingers.

"DEVASTATING ICEBERG!", Said the woman calmly and immediately the ground below the large stone was pierced by huge amount of ice spikes that completely covered the stone which isn't visible anymore!

The ice mass was larger than the stone itself, the woman raised her left hand while her right hand was still in the same position, she slowly closed her left hand fingers one by one and in the same time several small ice spikes were moving out of the large ice mass and floated over it!

The woman started dilating her left hand again then she started rotating her left hand with only her index finger raised upwards, the ice spikes started floating around the large ice mass just as the woman was rotating her hand, she stopped then started rotating in the opposite direction and the ice spikes did the same as her hand!

She was showing how her control over her spells is amazing, she stopped moving her left hand and lowered it slowly, the ice spikes gradually moved back inside the cavities they left in the ice mass, each one went back in its place slowly and not just going back, they completely fused with the ice mass like nothing happened!

The woman gradually lowered her right hand and gradually as she lowered it the large ice mass gradually started going down again from where it appeared (under the ground), the woman kept slowly removing the ice mass she created while gradually revealing the large stone, finally after everything ended the large stone wasn't even scratched and everything was normal!

The woman smiled before she exhaled a little cold visible air then rubbed both of her arms, looks like this spell cool its user.

While the woman mage was warming herself she heard someone clapping while getting closer to her.

"Perfect, you've mastered the glacial divine magic in a short time, looks like minister Morgan will be even more proud with his daughter when she returns.", Said an elf after he clapped to the woman, she's clearly the minister's daughter, she looked at him in surprise before smiling happily.

"Professor? I didn't expect to see you now.", Said the woman.

"Neither do I, but I must say that I'm amazed by how you mastered such a delicate divine art in only one year, you already know how to use the vanishing divine magic, the glacial divine magic, the healing divine magic and in the same time you're trying to use the raw divine art while researching the ancient mirror art, no need to mention your outstanding abilities in alchemy and various branching sciencs.", Said the professor before pausing after reaching the woman who was happy by hearing his words.

"And you're still 23, you're going to make some elves jealous from your accomplishments young lady.", Said the professor before laughing warmly, the woman shyly adjusted some of the hair strands over her face to the side while smiling.

"It's an honor to hear this praise coming directly from you, professor, I wouldn't have made it this far without you and the other professors.", Said the woman.

"You're just being humble, Elviera, you're already better than all of the young elven mages here in the academy, minister Morgan always talked to me about your high enthusiasm for divine magic, he also told me when you were still young that you'll be better than him in divine magic, and he was right, your control over your divine energy and the ability to use it for longer time is extraordinary, young lady.", Said the professor.

"I think I got a little lucky to have people like you around me.", Said Elviera politely.

"No, you're not lucky, you're talented, and not just talented, you're a hardworker, we can't fake things like this, talent isn't enough to learn all of that at a young age, you got my respect, lady Elviera Crestbend.", Said the professor while putting his right hand over his chest in respect, Elviera did the same as him to show her respect for her tutor.

"Now what are you aiming for, Elviera?", Asked the professor politely.

"I think that I need to get back to my father, I haven't seen him for a long time, he already asked me to look for someone in Vidin while going back to him.", Said Elviera politely before looking at the academy.

"Is that someone important?", Asked the professor.

"Yes.", Said Elviera while remembering what her father wrote in the letter he sent, the new choosen queen for Reldret.

"Yes, professor, according to my father, he's important for him so he asked me to take a look.", Said Elviera politely.

"I see, so we're not going to see you again soon.", Said the professor politely.

"Of course that won't happen, I'll come back after finishing this task and also having some family time with my father, but I'm already thinking about something to learn while being in Vidin.", Said Elviera enthusiastically.

"The beast summoning divine magic, right?", Said the professor calmly.

"Exactly!", Said Elviera happily.

"I think it will be easy to learn on my own, starting with basic summoning will be easy.", Said Elviera.

"Whatever you want, Elviera, you know where the library is, take whatever you need with you, but be careful.", Said the professor while looking serious.

"No training in public, it's my code, don't worry, professor.", Said Elviera politely, the professor smiled.

"We will really miss you, your attitude and respect for everyone won't be forgotten.", Said the professor, Elviera looked at him proud of herself.

"By the way, before you leave you should see someone, you know that elf who you worked with several times, he really will miss you.", Said the professor.

"You mean Nigel? of course I'll see him, professor Claus.", Said Elviera politely.

"Then I'll leave you for now, excuse me young lady.", Said professor Nah'iel before leaving Elviera thinking deep about her future.
