As everyone steps out the room, Silas stays near the door incase kaya loses her powers again and something ends up badly. "The headmaster included you guys as well in the plan?", Abex said but Lucien elbowed him in the stomach before using his powers to put the wards around them. "Yes, he wants us to be there with her when you guys aren't.", youna says. "I don't know how will we save her when we don't even know if we can overcome the enemy if it came infront of us.", Selene says. "Don't worry. You wont have to deal with the fighting, you just need to be there with her and not to leave her alone, either me, Abex or Silas himself will be close enough to deal with it. And we won't let anyone harm you.", Lucien says with determination that Selene looks at him for a few seconds before turning her gaze away.
"But what makes me curious is that why was kaya looking at Silas like she wanted to murder him?", Garran asks trying hard not to laugh at the man who had a scowl after he heard him. "Apparently he pinned her to the wall.", Abex said bluntly making others look at Silas. "Not like that guys!", Abex cleared. "They clearly aren't on good terms and Orion has given Silas the sole responsibility to be with her.", he laughs and Silas rolls his eyes. "At least we wont have to worry about other things. Or do we have to Silas?", Garran stares at him with amusement in his eyes. "Oh come on guys, stop messing with me.", he says.

The vision infront of my eyes is hazy and the chamber room is blurring out replaced with a faint memory of someone's face as if I am seeing the person underwater. The face clears for a few seconds and I freeze, recognizing orion's face in front of me, smiling at me with sadness and sorrow in his eyes. His face is removed and is replaced by two other people whose face I dreadfully remember. Mom and Dad. They were looking at me like they were cradling me. I could see the look of happiness in my parent's eyes when they held me for the first time. The memory quickly fades away and I gasp, coming back to reality and my mind and vision clears. "I knew your mom and dad kaya, I was the one who gave you to them.", he says and getting weak in my legs I sit on the bed incase I fall to the ground.
"I remember you were just 7 months old when I handed you over to them. The guard who was.... killed was the caretaker of the orphanage where we had kept you hidden under his protection and to only give you in those hands who have the most kindest hearts. We couldn't think to give you the best childhood without your mother so we opted to give you another life instead to see how it feels to live with your parents before you face the reality of your world. Once Derek, the guard contacted me that he had found them, I straightly rushed to your world and gave you into their hands. And just because he was meant to be there to protect you, the orphanage was handed over to another caretaker and he took multiple jobs to keep himself close to you until that day. As soon as I got the signal that he didn't live anymore, I rushed over to you.", he explained.
"But you could have handed me over to someone in this realm maybe I wouldn't had to learn about all this, this way.", I say. "To tell you the truth, I kept it hidden from the entire realm that you were alive. I was one of the member of the council which included everyone's trust in my loyalty even your mother. I knew what she was going to do, she sacrificed herself and her people to save the realm, I had to save her only bloodline from dying. It was the only thing I could do to repay for what she has done for us. But there are enemies between the council kaya. Those who still have secret contact with the demon who killed your mother. They are helping him to escape the barriers where he is sealed. We still cannot find whoever that person is. But we will soon. And for that we want you to trust me and my team standing outside. All of their mothers or fathers are in the royal council, and still they took oaths to stay loyal to me. ziykael, is waiting to get out and take revenge from us. And it won't be long for him to come out and he will first come to you because your mother had drained his power into her flame of light making him weak enough for us to overpower him and seal him. And this means the moment you use your untamed magic, at the same time it will make him stronger. That is why I called silas here. He and the others will help you to control your powers. And if it still doesn't change your mind about going back, then once your back in your world, neither will you nor will I know how much dangerous your magic will be. Who knows he escapes the rift of the realm and kills you coming for your family next? Or who knows your powers will kill you and endanger those who are close around you.", he says and dread fills up my heart as I think about endangering Ethan out of all people.
"It was meant to be your fate, coming here. I can allow you to meet your cousin for the last time, but I certainly cannot risk the life of people here in Aradox. It is your choice to make.", he says and was about to go outside when I stopped him. "Wait! I never experienced any lost of control before, how are you sure that it will happen in that world.", I say. "I can't say too much because you wont be able to handle it today, but let me tell you this, your powers ceased right after I got to you. Even your hair turned black making you look like a human at that time. But now your powers have returned and they are wild, Ziykael won't even take his time to reach you.", he says. I knit my brows with confusion not understanding what happened with my powers? But that is when I hear the principal taking a deep breath. "Your powers ceased as if.... as if it knew that your mother, the queen of flames died. And I hate for it to be true but I think that your powers woke up uncontrolled because it somehow sensed the source power of your mother which is still alive in ziykael or because you remembered your past. Just.. just be careful, my child. Your the last elemental who has fire. And after a long time, there is a certain calmness that has settled in my heart knowing that maybe things can go back to normal like they were when your mother was alive.", he says with a sad smile.
"And tell me when you want to go back after thinking about it. But first get freshened up.", he says and is about to leave when I speak for the final time which holds my future. If this is what fate had written for me. I will end up here no matter how much I run away from it. "I am willing to talk to my cousin for the final time.", I say and he gives me a determined smile and a part of mine tells me that I wont regret it.

"This is your room Kaya.", Selene tells me. "Woah, are all rooms like this in this realm?", I ask clearly impressed by how the dorm rooms were here at Topeza. "Umm, no it's just about here in Topeza. If you don't know so let me tell you that it is the top College in the realm for elementalist. Yes, there are other colleges but they are less in ranking. Here at Topeza, only the people of ranking study here, those who are the children of the royal families or the children of the Duke and duchess. Children of the citizens study in less prestige colleges.", youna says and I wince. Talk about ranks. "Well then, we will leave you to freshen yourself up and then we can go and roam around the college like you want, the classes starts tomorrow and today's assembly will take place at night." Selene says out of excitement which I can't match too. They were here like those students on earth, excited for their first day of college. But here I had come because I was forced by fate and because of my powers, I am putting the whole realm to danger.
I enter my room and look at my surroundings. There was a four poster bed in the middle of the room with velvet bedding and and silk cushions. A chest made of wood was sitting infront of the bed, which could be assisted as a stool. Other than that, there was a huge armoire, A study desk with a wooden chair an empty bookshelf, a vanity mirror and a door which I think must be the attached bathroom. I opened the armoire to find pairs of tunics and pants which looked expensive and on the left side they had their college crest sewn over it. There were long cloaks hung on the other side of the armoire with two drawers which I opened up to see undergarments and pair of casual cloths to wear around, even those had crests sewn over them. I didn't know what should I actually have to wear to the assembly....
"Are you having any problem picking out a pair of clothing?", I look towards youna and selene wearing the same tunics and pants like mine and their baby pink and dark brown hair were tied into a braid and a ponytail respectively. "No, I got this!", I say with confidence getting my tunic and pants out. "Okay then, we'll wait for you downstairs in the common seating area.", youna says and I nod. I rush into the bathroom and am again surprised by how big the bathroom was and already stuffed with products. I quickly take a shower and feel refreshing after a long time as if it has been weeks since I last took a shower when it has been just a day but the sweat and everything made my body feel filthy. I quickly dried my hair with a towel and left it on the rack before slipping into my tunics and pants, with my new undergarments beneath. I was surprised at how everything was just fitted. It gave my body more of a strong feminine shape. It was a bit tight from my swells but overall I slayed in my outfit. When I was about to leave my room, my eyes went over to my desk which was now filled with pens and empty papers. The book shelf was now also filled with a few books which I am thinking is a part of the course I'll be studying for this semester.
Along with selene and youna, we exited the building and went through the trail towards the fields where students were also roaming around trying to get them familiar with the college. And apparently there were 2nd and 3rd year senior students as well who were bullying the other 1st years but no one tried to mess with us because I had two royals with me. My thoughts were ruined until a group of boys approached us, all of them looking smugly at me. "What do you boys want?", youna asked as she and selene came infront of me placing me behind them. One of their smirks grew. "You know we want the ordinary who is standing behind you princesses, we actually wanted to have some fun you know before we actually get restrictions on us.", he says making me confuse. I thought only royals and upper class are supposed to study here. "Get away from our way or else the outcome won't be good.", Selene said this time anger rising on her face. "Or what? You'll use your flower magic on me?", he mocks making the other two laugh at them. "No, but this one can throw boulders at you.", youna said and this time I widened my eyes at how small rocks on the field were now raised up in the air. "You call these small rocks, boulders? Don't forget fresher, who is more powerful here, just because you hold an ancestral element, it doesn't mean you are more powerful than me.", he says, power forming into his palm which was of light blue in color. he freezes youna's small pebbles breaking them into small bits.
The boy looked over me and his smug grin returns to his face. He takes a step further and rolls his eyes when selene stands infront of him between us and suddenly thick vines erupt from the ground, their ends that were facing the boys were pointy like needles. "Don't even dare to come near my friends.", she says and suddenly the sky above us darkens with thunder clouds ready to snap at someone. "You can't even control two powers at a time, but apparently we can.", he says and one of his friend twists into a tornado and circles around us in such speed that our hairs were going up from such wind. It catches selene by surprise that she couldn't see and her powers became weak clearing the sky and the roots went back to the ground.
"How do you like that princesses?", the man spoke from somewhere. "Guys grab my hand!", selene said and both, me and youna grabbed her hand tightly when the tornado suddenly stops and I open my eyes just in time to see the man was lifted into the air and was choking before the force knocks him to the ground and pins him over there, the firm hold still on his neck. We look over behind lucien who was standing over those seniors glaring at them. "Well boys you wanted an answer right? Then I didn't fucking like it.", he said in such a slow and dangerous tone as he grabbed their leader from his neck without any effort and from the other he flicked a hand to the second man and he was lifted in air, and now rotating in a circle fastly. "Breaking the rules on the very first day, aren't we jason?", he said his eyes deadly staring into his eyes.
"Didn't anyone tell you not to fucking mess with royals?", he said and I was chilled to the core. I had never seen this side of his with others who mess with him. "We weren't messing with them, we wanted to prank that ordinary girl with them.", he said trying not to offend him. Lucien looks at the two sidekicks of his, one rotating in the air and other pinned to the ground and then he motions a force on the spinning man and he lands on top of his friend which knocked the air out of the one on the ground. He did the same to their leader who was in his hands and as he fell on those two, they grunted with the sudden hit on their chest. Lucien slowly strode over to them bending on one knee and puts an invisible force on his neck blocking his windpipe and stared at him enough before he spoke, "When I tell you not to fucking mess with the royals, It also includes their friends whether they are royals or not.", he spats and leaves them.
"Get up!", he orders in a strict tone and the three of them get up. "Be fucking glad that I caught you boys or the next time won't be easy if you get caught by them.", he says bobbing his head over to somewhere in the building and we all turn to see Silas and Abex exiting the building. "Get out of here or next time I will not hesitate to kill you three.", he whispers to them and they quickly walk away from the ground. "You guys okay?", Lucien asks looking at us for injuries and we nod. He gives us a subtle nod letting us know they will be here near us before he heads off to his group. "So shall we continue the tour?", youna grins at us as if nothing just happened and we laugh out earning strange looks from other students before continuing the tour. On the half of the tour Orion called me to his office.
"You called for me headmaster?", I asked opening the door. "Ah yes, take a seat. I can see you are starting to adjust with the college.", he smiles gesturing towards the two chairs. "I'll tell you why I called you in a bit. I am waiting for someone else too.", he says and continues back to what he was doing. Soon there is another knock on the door. "Ah yes come in!", he says and the door opens revealing abex and silas and I was certainly not surprised to see them. "Come in boys and close the door please!", he says. Abex closes the door behind them and both of them stand behind us in a straight line with their hands behind them.
"I want the two of you to go with kaya back to her world at her house so that she can meet her cousin for the final time.", He suddenly says.
