1 Chapter One: The Academy

Amyra was sitting at her favorite place at the academy, looking up to the clouds in the sky. At this time of the year, things were usually quiet there. It was one of her favorite times of the year. From there, she could almost see what everyone was doing at the academy.

Amyra always took refuge at the highest tree at the academy when she needed time to clear her mind. She may have been one of the strongest students at the academy but things have been though with her family lately. She was a genius for her younger age. She was good at everything. In contrast to her, most people were good at only one or two things. The ability she possessed was not unknown but rare. She possessed the chameleon ability.

"Amy come down!" Kiera was a petite light skin woman with slant green eyes. She had small lips and nose. She was a junior professor at the academy, right now, she was standing under the tree where Amy was because everyone there knew this was her favorite place."The principal wants to talk to you about something." Kiera shouted at the top of her lungs. Amyra already knew what the principal was about to tell her, and she did not like it. Ding Dong! Kiera had exhausted herself from shouting so she gave up on her and went away. At sunset, Amy came down from the tree when she thought everyone left to go home.

" Well, that was fast." She heard someone said behind her back. It was a man's voice. She knew this voice. She closed her eyes, her hands, and started grinning. She turned around and face him. It was the principal in the flesh. " Meet me at my office in a 5 minutes, we have to talk," then He vanished in the air.

"Ahhh!" Finaly, she breathed out. Marcus was the strongest person there after his father died, he became the principale. Sneaking attacks were ones of his assets and that made him a dangerous person. Without losing a second, she headed in the direction of his office. Now, she was standing in his well decorated office alone. The office had one big window, a big desk and chair. Two medium lotus flower chairs in front and two counter stools chairs in both corner of the room.

"Wait, you forget something, " Amyra heard. This voice was Camille's voice. She was the principal girlfriend and a good friend and relative of Amyra. Minutes later, he walked in the office, " forgive my tardiness, now shall we talk." He said as he walked around his big deck and sat on his big chair. Marcus was a square face shape man with almond shaped eyes and dimples. He was 5'9" tall dark skin with full long dreadlocks and full lips.

"I assumed what you wanted to talk about was not important since I have been waiting in your office for what might seems like decades." She said trying to distract [Can't blame a girl for trying.] She thought quickly. He raised his right hand. " don't do that."

" You know that I cannot help you with this one, you must go to Arana kingdom. Your presence is required there." There he said it. She knew about that since the end of summer season and yet, she managed not to think about all this times. She did not want to go to this foreign kindom alone. She was alone there. Her family never stayed in one place for very long. Her sister and brother were maybe somwhere doing their duty. She did not want to think about them for now. She need a break from everything and everyone.

"Tomorrow morning, a royal carriage will be here at 6am to take you there." He said. " Wasn't I supposed to go at the end of the month? What change? " She said with no interest. " Nobody knows, It says here that the king wants to send his children to the Royal academy sooner." The principal answered as he placed the letter and envelope in front of her. She took the letter and the envelope that he put on the desk. " I have to let go of you now because you have to rest. Tomorrow, you have to be up at 5 am to wait for the carriage."

"See you tomorrow then!" While leaving the office, she saw Camille ready to enter. "Good night you too!" She said to her. Camille was a 5'5" tall brown skin woman with beautiful curly black hair. She had an oval face shape with round brown eyes, small nose, and lips.

When going to her room, she passes by the central courtyard to see "Palma" the Highest tree. She even named her. She realized the quarter moon was already up in the sky. She hugged Palma for a minute then go to her room. Her room was an average rectangle shape with two small windows. One chaise lounge at one window and a table at the other one. There was also a bed and at the right corner there was a nightstand with a big luminous stone and a black heat stone. This night in her chamber, Amy slept right afer showered. She was super anxious this time. It was the first time that she was leaving the academy on her own. It had been a year now since she was living at the academy. Last year, all of her family had moved elsewhere. At that time, she still had to go to class classes at the academy so they left her under the principal care.

In the morning, the Royal carriage was already waiting for her by the time she woke up. After hours of tardiness, she was ready to go.

" Do you think she will be able to take care of her own over there Marcus?" Camille asked because she was also not happy with sending her cousin to this foreign kingdom but they did not have a choice.

" She is strong. I believed in her! So yeah Camille, she will be because I taught her well." Marcus said as he embraced his girlfriend .
