The lit hall, with wooden chairs mounted around it almost like a theatre, similar to a stadium, Amara and her father, the tall man in gold rimmed specs and long red coat that was overly shiny for some reason found thier way to an empty seat at the left wing of the hall, they sat at the front row, a position so low that it was almost directly beside the podium, where several seats meant for the teachers and the principal stood, everyone was taking seats too, the meeting was just about to begin as announced by the voice from earlier.
'hi!' they heard a voice, Amara and her Dad both turned around around in search of the source, it was her cousin kai and beside him was his mother, her aunt
'Aunt!!' she called as with a snap of her fingers teleported her self over to the other row directly behind them, into her aunt's arms.
'How are you doing my love?' her aunt asked cuddling her tightly.
'I have been good' Amara answered smiling, from the corner of her eyes through her aunt's embrace she could see her cousin and her Dad exchange greetings silently through a handshake each person standing at thier own spots.
'Oh Cecilia how have you been?' called her Dad as he opened his arms slightly signaling her for a greeting, her aunt took the hint and unwrapped her, she bent down in order to lean into the greetings as where she stood was a platform above where her Dad stood, they both pecked at each other's cheeks and smiled at each other
'How have you been John?' she asked disregarding his question of where about whether it was intentional or not , Amara couldn't tell.
'wow,this is fake as hell' whispered kai, she jumped a bit as she was genuinely caught off guard by this, when did he creep behind her.
' I used a new spell i learnt; shadow steps' he said smiling, what he said earlier was true John and Cecilia right from the onset had never really liked each other, Cecilia had something against "weak puny humans" and always criticized them any chance she gets, John on the other hand hated the fact that she existed as she was one of the major hindrances to his wedding with his wife.
'So! What do you think this is all about?' asked john to Cecilia.
'Its probably just a meeting' replied Cecilia with a hint of sacarcim in her voice, Jhon hissed.
'Attention' it was the voice again, being so close to the podium, she looked to find out who it was turns out it was the fairy Professor Thristle Behind him sat the twelve professors of Arcanum, they all sat thier chairs made of silver, they formed a circle around a longer throne like chair made of Gold, all parents were settling now with their children or wards as the case maybe, the large golden doors of the hall were now slowly closing it's self, moving an inch every three seconds, the final years were now trooping in with thier Parents or meeting thiers in the Hall too.
'Patience , please the principal will be here soon, but before that an attendance sheet is currently being passed around by mini fairies in the Hall, do make sure to write your name and that of your wards down' said professor Thristle, just then a heavy pressure filled the air, the air tightened and mumurs from the audience filled the hall, who was coming, what's happening? A gust of wind charged into the hall as petals of green flowers flew appeared leaving trails of sweet scent behind, this is to show that it was non threatening.
'whoa' john muttered as he and his daughter sat down,
'you can feel it too?' asked Amara enthusiastically.
'Yes, i can now feel magic levels ever since i got this coat from your mom' he replied
'And have you felt Mom's magic pressure before?' she asked with a smirk.
'Yes, once when she showed me'
'And how was it?'
' fifty times stronger than this one, it was so powerful that i fell to my knees instantly, I don't know how you resist it when you both argue' he replied smiling.
'Simple, just be powerful enough to go par to par with her, should i show you my magic pressure?' she said tauntingly.
'If you are that powerful won't that drag attention?' he asked genuinely.
'Dont worry, with everything going on no one would notice' she said, she closed her eyes and opened it immediately it lit up, radiating a Yellow gold color and then she quickly shut it down dispelling the glow in her eyes indicating the shut off, A bead of sweat rolled down John's face.
'Whoa' he muttered, he looked around to notice whether there was any attention dragged and noticed that the whole left wing including, the teachers at the podium were all gazing directly at Amara, she had not noticed this, the principal appeared taking the attention off her, it was a woman, tall, slender beautiful, pink hair and pink eyes,pointy ears. Amara noticed she was familiar....it was Lu's mother, she was the principal of the school.
'The principal is here' announced Thristle, 'witches and warlocks, this is Amaya , queen of the Dryads, principal of Arcanum Academy of Witches. A huge applause erupted in the hall, whistling and gyrating. If this was true then... Why did the professors behave that way to Lunare, Amara thought, she quickly glanced all around to see whether she would catch a glimpse of her friends but only saw red haired sophia who was sitting with a red haired elderly woman, she tried to wave but couldn't get her attention.
'Welcome parents, teachers....to the annual P.T.A' the principal said, her voice melodious almost as if she was singing.
'You all have...' the principal stopped in her tracks just then another pressure had penetrated the atmosphere, stronger than the last, stronger than that of the principal herself, almost on par with Amara's mother it was ominous , bloody and threatening and many people understood this because just immediately this pressure came a turn up was evident in the reaction of the guests as magical pressures began to erupt from all sides of the hall, orbs of light were appearing it seemed as if a color show was taking place. Cecilia activated her magic , she was a traditional witch too an orb of green light manifested in her palms, her eyes glowed into a deep emerald color, she had already channeled a power and Amara wondered whose?. Even with all these going on the Blood curling aura was still felt
'Something is coming be on your guard, parents escape with the students' screamed the principal, just then the ominous pressure tripled, there were three threats approaching the hall.
'Take the kids and run' said Cecelia.
'What am not leaving here without you!' said kai and Amara nodded in agreement
'Lets all leave' said John.
'But...' just the the golden doors crashed open, a dark shadowy figure flew in and that was the last thing Amara saw because before she could grasp what was happening she was drawn into a portal.
