Anaya sat down in the living room filled with antiques and precious items. She scanned the room with her head laid back on the sofa. Her grandmother had just walked in moments earlier with her first aid box, as she always did after Anaya's Saturday training. She scanned her carefully to check if she had any new injuries, even though Anaya had told her multiple times that she was perfectly fine. Anaya wasted no time in showing her grandmother the cut. Her grandmother saw the poorly placed bandage on the cut and shook her head, all while wondering why Anaya never took the time to care for herself. She carefully applied an antiseptic she had made in her cauldron pot three days prior and cleanly wrapped the wound.

"Laila had cuts like this all the time, and she would never take her time to care for them..." Her grandmother muttered angrily. Anaya just smiled at her words and the care she showed, even when it was just a little cut.

    The school stadium was filled with students, eagerly waiting for the first match of the season to begin. Everyone roared in excitement, chanting happily for the team they supported. Back in the boys' locker room, everyone was frantically getting ready for the big game."Our first match," Leo said, putting on his gear."I'm a little anxious," Jason admitted."You should be. The whole school is watching," Chris added.Only then did they notice he had been standing there the entire time."Wow, great pep talk," Leo remarked, sarcasm evident in his tone."Relax... I've seen you two play. You're both exceptional at it," Chris said with a bright smile on his face.Leo and Jason looked at each other and shrugged proudly."We're practically gifted," Jason said."It's all in the wrist, you know," Leo said, clearly talking about his excellent throwing skills.Chris shook his head and scoffed, his smile still evident."Gather round, team..." he exclaimed, catching the attention of everyone in the

    Anaya walked into her room, looking at the symbols pasted all over her walls. One last time, she contemplated deeply within herself whether to put her research on hold. She glanced at the mirror beside her and gasped at the sight. Her hair was remarkably out of place, and there was only one word that could describe the dark circles under her eyes and, that word was hideous. She took a deep sigh and calmed her nerves."I need sleep," she said, her resolve unwavering. She started taking down all the drawings one by one, not leaving a single one up on the wall. She carefully organized them and opened her drawer. Looking at the notes in her hand, she shook her head again and closed the drawer. Getting rid of them temporarily wouldn't work; she would only go back to them. She needed to dispose of this permanently.Sitting on her bed with the notes in her hand, she snapped her fingers, causing a fire to start in the palm of her hand. Gently raising her left arm, she placed the pages slowly

    Jason took out the notes he had made on the symbols, with Anaya’s guidance, of course. After placing them on the study table in the library, they gave each other meaningful glances before Jason said, “Alright… let’s get to work.” They took their time, looking for and collecting every book on languages they could find. Before long, their table was filled with all sorts of textbooks from linguistics professors all over Ivandale. Once it looked like they had enough books, they quickly got into studying, trying to find anything that was even remotely similar to the sketches Jason had made. Luckily, they didn’t have any other classes after first period, so they were free to study until break was over.Leo cried inwardly after opening his seventh book—he still hadn’t seen anything and was beginning to lose the resolve he had to find this language when they first started. He stood on his feet to get more books and gasped when he heard a noise. “I’ve searched every language book on this table

    The boys made their way into the school library and carried whatever books they had left out in their research. Luckily for them, Varrick had taken pity on them and asked Alex to offer them a carriage; otherwise, carrying all those books back to the castle would have been a huge hassle. They freshened up, took off their uniforms, and quickly got back to work. They had spent hours researching and had completely lost track of time. The room slowly began to dim, and the only reason they got up from their seats was because they had to find and light a candle. Sydney came in after a while with a set of teacups, a teapot, and a plate filled with cookies and biscuits. "Tea?" she asked, raising her tray slightly with a bright smile on her face. "Yes, please," they chorused, their faces drooping from exhaustion. Sydney happily set some of the books aside, making room to place the tray on the table. Picking up some of Jason's notes, she thought deeply for a second before her brows furrowed.

    Anaya kept increasing her pace with each step, not bothering to spare the young lad who struggled to keep up with her. Unable to take it anymore, he quickly overtook her. "Have you been avoiding me?" Chris asked, staring at her with furrowed brows after finally catching his breath. Anaya simply glared at him, arms folded. "And why would I do something like that?" she replied plainly. Chris blinked twice at her question, clearly lost for words. "I don’t know. You tell me," he stuttered, slowly folding his arms as well. Anaya rolled her eyes. "You’re not someone I find worth avoiding," she said with a sarcastic smile. As she opened the door in front of her, she added, "I hope that answers all your questions." "You don’t—" "Girls' bathroom," Anaya interrupted, pointing at the black lady symbol above the door. She casually shrugged and closed the door behind her. Chris hung his head low and chuckled heartily. "Well played, Princess." Hearing his words from the other side of the do

    Break was long over, and Jason, Leo, and Anaya were heading to their next class when they bumped into a familiar face. "Hey, Seb..." Anaya said, beaming at his perfectly rimmed glasses. She noticed the girl smiling brightly next to Sebastian. With a slight nod, she said, "Sylvia." "Where were you yesterday?" Sebastian asked, clearly curious, as it was something everyone else had been wondering. Anaya blinked twice and looked around to see her friends staring at her with eyes eager for answers. "My grandmother said I needed a break from school, so she let me sleep in," Anaya replied plainly, clearly leaving out the fact that she was forcefully put to bed by her grandmother’s sleep spell. They looked at each other, a little shocked that none of them had guessed the scenario correctly. "Oh..." they all said simultaneously. "You were looking for me..." Anaya said, and although she was pointing at Sebastian, everyone around her nodded vigorously. "All of you?" Anaya asked, her eyes

  • Leo The Dragon Heir   CHAPTER 78: WOAH ...

    "Whoa," Leo muttered under his breath when he saw strands of his hair that had fallen to the ground. Jason rolled his eyes and lazily sat on the cold ground, leaning his back against a shelf before he said, "It's called a restricted area for a reason. It's off-limits to every student at Scarlet High. The school board even made sure to put an enchantment on this place so no one could get in. We need to be careful. Any misstep can be fatal." Leo and Anaya looked at him with slight frowns. "Didn't think to lead with the fatal part," Leo remarked. "You didn’t let me finish," Jason said casually, even adding a little shrug. Anaya looked back at where the arrow had hit. The arrow slowly faded away, leaving behind a huge dent. But, not much to her surprise, the dent closed up, looking almost as good as new. She had seen the same thing happen when she scratched a table in the library with her pen out of anger. She looked at it again, and it simply vanished—almost as if it had never happe

    The time dispersed once the moon was fully out. They were looking battered and bruised and feeling even worse. The boys reached their home later than anticipated, so they made sure not to alarm their guardians upon their arrival. After sneaking out some ice from the kitchen, they quickly freshened up and started to tend to whatever wounds they may have acquired on their little escapade."What a waste of time," Leo muttered as he pressed some ice to his forehead."Tell me about it. That book is harder to crack than the first one," Jason sighed softly, placing bandages on his cuts.Leo placed the ice in his hands on the table and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Harder to crack? There's nothing there. Even Anaya couldn't see anything in that book.""You're probably right," Jason said with a bittersweet smile before placing the ice back on Leo's head.Sydney and Darwin walked in moments later, their bright smiles falling once they saw the state Leo and Jason were in."What happened to you tw

    Cold sweat soaked both the pillow and silk beddings. Anaya's breathing moved fast while her heartbeat threatened to break her heart free from her chest. Everything appeared misty while the room continued spinning. Her panic caused yet another hyperventilation episode. But before she could descend into a further state of panic, soft warm hands took hold of her body, which were contrary to her own clammy, rough and pale hands. A gentle voice asked "Are you okay?" Anaya replied "Yes, I'm fine" through hurried nodding. Sydney gave Anaya a glass of water as she spoke. Anaya took the cup without a second thought and drank so quickly you’d think she’d been stranded in the desert for days. Droplets of water trickled from her lips down her neck due to her haste. Once the water was finished, she handed the cup back to Sydney, mumbling, “Thank you.” Sydney dropped the glass next to the bed before saying "You're welcome." She watched Anaya breathe while holding her hand and a gentle smi

  • CHAPTER 92: HEY ANAYA

    Varrick sat by himself with a good book, Darwin sharpened his daggers and Sydney knitted sweaters in a chair as they waited for dinner. Then suddenly Leo and Jason appeared before them looking exhausted and distraught. Sydney smiled after recovering from the jump scare; “Looks like someone's acing the conjuring class.” With a few more praises to offer in their stocks, Varrick and Darwin prepared to join but stopped when they saw the girl Jason’s arms, pale and lifeless. "What happened?" Putting his book down and walking toward them, Varrick asked. "She just started hyperventilating, we don't know." Leo replied. "How long has it been?" Varrick began checking her pulse and vitals as he questioned them. For a moment, Jason's voice shook just softly and he could barely get the words out, "Thirty minutes… maybe more." Varrick inspected her palm, noticing the freshly reopened wound. He exchanged meaningful glances with Darwin, who had also caught sight of the injury. "Hand h

    "I'm not insinuating anything, Leo. Don't you get it? Sylvia is one of them." Leo turned to Jason and asked, "You don't think that's true, do you?" Jason averted his gaze, finding it hard to respond. "Jason?" Leo pressed, his hurt evident. Noticing the change in his tone, Jason quickly said, "I just think we shouldn't point fingers just yet... Although her relationship with the inspector is rather odd. Why didn't she tell us she knew her from the beginning?" Leo nodded and took a few steps forward. "Leo..." Jason called out, trying to salvage the situation, but Leo wasn't ready to listen. He simply continued walking away from where they stood. "Leo, wait. Anaya, say something," Jason urged. Neither of them seemed to care at that moment. "Let him leave. Once he has a clear head, he'll come back, and we can all go home," Anaya muttered, trying her hardest to stay calm. "You can't be serious, Anaya," Jason exclaimed. But Anaya's attention had shifted to a different subject en

  • CHAPTER 90: ONE OF THEM

    They finally reached the open window but couldn't go in just yet. The principal was still in the room, and he looked livid. "Alright, Lady Sylvia, since you want to be difficult, let's see how smug you get when you're face-to-face with Miss Renee." Sylvia's face drained completely of color once the principal said those words. He grumbled a few more words and walked out in a huff. The sound of the door slamming made Sylvia jerk in fear. She looked incredibly pale, and her lips were cracked and had already started to bleed. Anaya's eyes softened slightly when she saw her, but looking at her palm again, she knew that she needed answers, and the sooner she got them, the better. They waited a few minutes before climbing in through the window. "Hello, Sylvia. How are you feeling?" Anaya asked, her attitude a little nonchalant. Sylvia quickly sat up, her body tensing and her eyes widening as she stammered, "What are you doing here? You can't be in here!" "Why? Something to hide, Sylvi

  • CHAPTER 89: LEAVE

    "The principal went to see her. They probably think she's the one who did that to the field," Leo muttered, constantly pacing right outside the principal's office. Jason and Anaya gave each other meaningful glances, visibly trying to piece everything together. After Sylvia had fainted in front of them, they quickly rushed her to the school nurse. The school principal had gone in moments later, sweating profusely, with his eyes widened in shock. "Well, isn’t she?" Anaya asked sternly. "Of course not," Leo snapped, he never wasted any time when it came to defending Sylvia. Anaya swept her hands through her hair, her annoyance growing by the minute as she spoke. "My goodness, open your eyes, Leo. The evidence is overwhelming. Sylvia hasn’t been in school in days. I didn’t even see her at the gathering—did you?" she said, pointing at Jason. Jason tilted his head thoughtfully before slowly shaking his head. "Exactly. And then, the minute she shows up, she’s bruised and battered at

  • CHAPTER 88: A MESSAGE

    The club festivities faded and the real party began in the school. They made their way into the school auditorium and noticed all that had been laid out. Music, amazing snacks, even a huge disco ball—the very best Scarlet Magic High School had to offer, and yet somehow someone didn't seem to like it. "This party is lame," Sebastian sighed, swirling his drink with a straw. "Not as lame as the ones royals throw," Leo remarked. Sebastian's eyes widened, his shock noticeable in his expression. He quickly turned to Jason, looking for some kind of validation. Royal gatherings had always been the talk of the kingdom; people who had the luxury of being in attendance just couldn't stop talking about it. Jason noticed Sebastian's gaze and slowly replied, "You'd be surprised." "That can't be true. Have you been to one, Anaya?" Sebastian asked, hoping she'd give him the answer he had been believing all his life. However, Anaya hadn't said a word for a long time. "Anaya? W..." Sebastia

    They turned heads everywhere they went, although the boys were almost certain that was Anaya's doing. The field was filled with various activities: chess, Pegasus riding, flame throwing, and much, much more. "So basically, all we need to do is choose a club," Jason said. "Mhmm, then the after party," Sebastian added excitedly. "Crazy..." Leo murmured when a centaur casually sashayed right by him. "Come on, let's check that out," Anaya said eagerly, dragging them toward the archery section. The person in charge of the spot had just released his bow, landing his arrow in a perfect bullseye. He turned to them, flashing his pearly white teeth, and said, "Impressive, isn't it?" Anaya scoffed at his words and rolled her eyes. "Anaya," Chris greeted with a deep grin. "Chris," Anaya replied flatly. "Leo, Jason, and Sebastian. Glad we're all caught up," Leo joked. Anaya rolled her eyes and smiled before turning to Sebastian. "This looks fun. Do you want to give it a shot?"

  • CHAPTER 86: LEPRECHAUNS DON'T DRESS LIKE THAT

    Anaya assured Sebastian that they would definitely be in attendance, shocking both Leo and Jason. After hearing her assurance, Sebastian left for his classes, skipping happily. Jason looked at the flyer carefully and stared at Anaya with a raised brow. "You want to join a club?" Jason asked, passing the flyer to Leo. "Of course not," Anaya replied rather quickly. "Then why do you want us to go, especially when we have so much to d—" Anaya placed her index finger on Leo's lips and interjected, "Shh... enough with the book talk. I'm starting to think you both like this more than I do. Come to school tomorrow in your finest costumes, and don't even think of blowing me off." "Should we dress to match? Like one of us will be bread, one will be peanut butter, and the other will be jam?" Jason said excitedly, beginning to like the idea. "Hold on—who's the jam?" Anaya asked, her eyes widening in expectation. "And who's the bread?" Leo added, wrinkling his nose. He never seemed

  • CHAPTER 85: A DISTRACTION...

    Anaya walked over to them after her long conversation with one of the classmates. This was the longest she had spoken to anyone other than Jason and Leo since she stepped foot into the school. She was still laughing heartily as she said, "You guys are not going to believe what happened to Mr. Fickletie Berry..." Her laughter slowly faded once she saw how drained they looked. "What happened to you two?" she asked, worry etched on her face. However, she received no reply, only aggrieved sighs. Anaya's frown deepened as she felt she was being given the silent treatment. "Look, are you guys still upset about the prank thing? I said I was sorry." "No, we're not upset, honest," Jason assured, waving his hands frantically. Anaya slowly nodded and replied, "Okay, good... But then, why do you both look like you're about to jump me?" Leo chuckled slightly at her comment, and Jason responded, without a sigh, "My dad made us scrub the ballroom floor when he found out that we were not in
