Side note: The Mona Lisa novel is out now
'You absorbed a demon?' it was, Lu yelling, the trio had met up to discuss thier battle experiences with each other, turns out that everyone in the group fought a demon, not just any demon, but a Cardinal demon at that.
'Yes, and i am surprised it went well' Sophia replied indifferently, Amara simply watched, her eyes narrowed she was processing the information that just dropped on her.
'I don't know many things but i do know something, you now have powers of a Cardinal demon and if my suspicions are right, you are now a demon witch' Amara said in a serious tone.
'Not quite, but in a way i think you are correct but contrary to what you said, i now possess demon energy, an extremely powerful one bound in my magic space, i could release it or tap into its powers anytime i want' Sophia replied.
'That's cool, i wish i caught that slimy fish dagon and made him my puppet' Lu said maliciously as he noticed a heightened tension between the others. It was a battle of what is right and what was not and Amara was obviously against it.
'Look you guys should wrap it up... Please i really don't think we should get worked up over this' he added as Amara and Sophia had a stare down, after what felt like an eternity, Amara eased up her expression, she sighed in frustration and smiled
'You are right Lu, let's not allow this to break us especially at a time like this' she said. Sophia eased up too and smiled at her
'Don't worry Ams, i promise i wouldn't abuse or be taken over by this power, besides if that ever happens i trust you to exorcise me' she said.
They all let out a big giggle to ease up the tension. Immediately after they heard a voice in their head it was the principal talking
'Pillars meet me in my office, now' she said and the trio exchanged glances at each other
'Well, I guess that's our cue' Amara said, they nodded at each other and walked towards the principal office.
The principal office was a quite large golden space, every furniture was either gold or silver, no other colour was visible and even if there was, it was automatically over ridden by the concentration of Gold and silver colours. It was situated at the west wing of the school building close to the Teacher's common room and directly beside the school's dungeon gate. The door was gold, the floor was plaited silver, the pictures of other principals hung on the wall was enclosed with golden frames. The principal's chair was gold and her table silver, the files on her desk all had gold and silver accents to it, it was a truly over stimulating experience for a first timer there.
'Whoa' Lu gasped as he entered with the rest of the group members, voicing out his surprise indicating that he himself haven't been to this place before.
'Welcome, students' it was the principal talking with her sweet voice, she was sitting on her desk, her pink hair and eyes being the only thing that contradicted the over bearing situation of gold in the vicinity. The students quickly lined up before her and gestured a slight bow.
'I will go straight to the point, Holidays are fast approaching and it's not going to be for you all here, we have a duty to attend to and we must see it through;there are suspicious activities going around the world and i will assign you all to a mission to Rome and Greece, you will be going in fours; Amara and her cousin, Sophia, and Lu will be going on an expedition in Rome, why the rest will be going to Greece this is a crucial mission treat it as so.'
'Excuse me ma'am, are other magic societies taking this seriously like we are' Sophia asked, Amaya looked at her and narrowed her eyes skeptically
'Sophia right?' she asked, Sophia nodded in accordance
'Yes, the others are taking it seriously as we speak the french witches are on the move and other faculties as well including your teachers so there is nothing to worry about and oh ...young lady, you know it takes more than knowledge to hold a power of great evil hostage and i sure hope you have the capacity to do that..a misstep would cause you your life' she answered.
'That will be all for today, you may take your leave' she added as she bent her head inspecting some files. The members of the pillars left quietly, they now have great responsibility on thier shoulders, the life changing experiences were on the way now.
