Entrusted

Lily was relieved that Raena had agreed to listen to her, and knowing she didn't have much time, she closed her eyes and her entire body began to glow bright blue and white as Raena gasped and stared at her.

"What's going on?" Raena inquired, and Lily smiled.

"Raena, you are odd indeed, but sometimes one needs to be odd in order to be on top, I heard that from someone before, don't let others put you down, sweetheart, this is what I pass to you, it's a magical artifact, it's powerful but not against all attacks, one day, it might lead you to something," Lily responded as Raena looked on and Lily opened her palms.

"Raena, this is for you, it's something that can evolve and has been lost for a long time, no one will recognize it, and don't worry about protecting it," Lily said, holding a blue small sword-like weapon in her hand which had weird carvings.

Lily then placed it in Raena's hand, and Raena's eyes began to glow blue, which she was unaware of, but Lily saw and smiled.

'What is it exactly?' Raena wondered.

[That is the ancient and rare weapon that is simple to use when given the right command, it was made from part thunder dragon's breath, it's unique and the only one of its kind right now.]

"You'll be fine, Raena, learn to master what's yours, make your place to stay, and don't let people push you down," Lily said with a gentle smile as sparkles formed around her and she began floating in the air as the crystals in the caves lit up blue and white, and Raena flung up immediately.

"Thank you for entrusting me with this, Lily, I will try my best with this life," She replied as she bowed her head and Lily chuckled.

"Raena, you were worth my last bit of energy, do well, I will be watching over you from afar, good luck, sweetheart," Lily said as she disappeared, and Raena smiled at her as she disappeared, then reappeared on her bed in her room, sighed, and looked at her gift from Lily.

"That was more than strange," Raena mumbled as the weapon vanished and she yawned before stretching off and laying back on the bed thinking about what Lily said to her.

The girl was still perplexed by what had occurred, but she knew she had to expect the unexpected in her new home, and she intended to pass her classes in order to make use of her life and see where she could go.

Raena fell asleep after a while of thinking, her body trembling because it was cold and she had forgotten to cover herself.

Later that night, Drakun passed by her room and noticed her door was slightly open and the lights were still on, so he entered and saw her fast asleep on the bed, trembling, and sighed before approaching and covering her with the blanket, then looked at her.

"I hope you have the life you desire, kiddo." He then turned off the light, exited the room, and locked the door before returning to his.

When Raena awoke the next morning, she shivered, then noticed the blanket on her and removed it before getting out of bed, after which she sneezed and looked in the mirror, noticing her nose had turned a bit red, and she sighed before someone knocked on her door.

"Coming," She said as she opened the door, and the butler peeked in, prompting her to pull back.

"Good morning, come for breakfast when you're done, I made you really warm and good stuff so you don't catch a cold," He said, and she smiled.

"Good morning, thank you; I'll be down in a few minutes," she replied, and he smiled and then left.

Raena went to freshen up and get dressed since she had to leave for the academy and Drakun went back to the dining hall to lay the food out on the table.

"Good morning Drakun, is Raena up?" Akaz asked as he entered the dining hall, then sat down and Drakun glanced at him.

"Good morning master and yes, she is up and is doing her morning routine, I hope she doesn't catch a cold," He responded and Akaz glanced at him.

Drakun sighed as he asked, "Now, why would she catch a cold?"

"Last night, on my way back to my room, I saw her sleeping without any covering and it was really cold and late and she was trembling like a child who got dunked into frozen water, she got a bit of a pink nose as well, that's why I made this breakfast," He responded and Akaz smiled.

"What's the matter? Am I not doing well master? Do you have any complaints?" He asked and Akaz laughed.

"No, it's not that, you are doing extremely well Drakun, keep it up, now I have the book to give her," He responded.

"Good morning," Raena said as she entered the dining hall and sat down.

"Good morning," They replied as Drakun was about to serve her and she looked at him, then Akaz grabbed him by his arm and placed him to sit down and they all took their food to eat.

Drakun handed Raena a small glass of red liquid while they were eating, and she looked at him.

"It's to help you with the cold while it's not too bad, you can get rid of it before it gets really bad," He said and she smiled.

"I understand, well, thank you very much Darakun," She replied.

"You are welcome," He said.

"Raena, remember I said I'd get you something to help you learn about magic a little more?" Akaz asked, and she nodded.

"Well, I got something for you, perfect for you to carry around, light and not heavy, with a lot you can learn from it since you're just starting to learn about your own abilities which I am certain will be more than just beautiful and strong, I got you a magic book," He said as a book appeared in his hand and she left staring at it as he handed it to her and she collected it.
