Kyle stood beside Evette as the announcer called him upstage before proceeding to call Ciara and Jude.
They stared at the people sitting down as they clapped for them.
The announcer congratulated them once more and the tournament was officially over.
They went down from the stage,Jude caught sight of Luka and Freya and walked over to them.
"Jude,I'm so happy for you"Freya hugged him once she caught sight of him.
He smiled then looked at Luka who had a wide smile on his face"I told you bro, everything was gonna be alright,you even have a rare and powerful ability"
Freya pulled away from him"let's go pack our things,I hope mum and dad will be there when we get there"
Jude nodded,he looked at his friends, unconsciously meeting eyes with Ciara,who nodded then smiled before turning back to continue talking too Evette.
He went to his room and started packing,his door opened and Connor entered"I'm going to miss you,we need to see each other again sometime" Jude nodded as he left with his baggage.
"Hey"Kyle met up with him after he had left his room."We were thinking about going out after we meet the King,you coming?"
"Yeah"Jude replied before he left him.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Here we go"Freya opened the door to see her parents on the couch watching TV.
They turned their heads to the door when they heard it open and saw Freya standing at the door,Jude behind her.
Celia was the first to stand up as she ran towards them enveloping them in a hug"My babies,I missed you"
"Mum, when did you come back?"
Freya asked.
"Yesterday night,we heard about the tournament,Jude I'm so happy for you and your ability,you too Freya, I always knew you took after me you even got my powers"Celia smiled.
Jude dragged his things to his room,he needed to rest,he opened the door and saw Mila sitting on his bed and Ezra standing.
Seeing him enter,Mila smiled at him"child I'm so happy for you"she stood up walking towards him.
Jude bowed slightly greeting them. He looked at Mila then Ezra who although wasn't smiling wasn't looking distant as when he first saw him.
"You'll be meeting the King and the high priest will be there,you know what I told you about danger coming to this kingdom, he'll tell you about it.
"Why can't you just tell me now?"he asked her.
"You need to rest now dear"she walked back to Ezra who hadn't spoken yet.
Jude walked up to Ezra, bowing slightly,he looked at him"I want to master Time magic,can you teach me"
Ezra placed a hand on Jude's shoulders smiling lightly,he nodded"we'll meet after you've had your meeting with the king and the remaining nobles"
Jude watched as both of them disappeared leaving him alone.

"Hello home"Aviva walked into her room,the echo reminding her that she was lonely.
She dumped her bag aside and flopped down face first in her bed, familiarizing herself with the feeling of her room.
She stood up and arranging her bags.
When she was done she left to get herself something to eat.
She smiled as she looked at the sky, the wind blowing past her,she remembered her siblings,sure she was the black sheep but they loved her nonetheless.
She turned in the direction to the closest store,her eyes looked some distance away and froze,the smile dropped from her lips instantly, almost immediately,the male figure looked at her,a mocking smile creeping it's way to his lips.
She spun on her heels, turning around,she ran away,tears forming in her eyes,she didn't know where she was going,she just ran,she didn't want to face him.
She was too occupied with running,she didn't notice the person in front of her,she bumped into a hard chest and fell on her down backwards.
Her breath hitched as she looked at the tall tanned skinned figure,curly black hair falling over beautiful black colored eyes,gold earrings dangling down his ears,he looked almost unreal,she had to control herself not to get swoon,she glared at him.
"Hey,most men would have had pity and helped a lady in distress and saved her from falling"
She looked at him as a smile painted his lips before disappearing instantly.
"Well, it's good I'm not like most men,clearly you're no lady in distress,you don't look it ,I'm sorry you didn't look like you needed my pity"although he said sorry,she knew he felt he was just saying it.
She opened her mouth to speak but closed it after what he said sank in her head,he was right. She stood up"I'm sorry for hitting you" he nodded and she walked faster till she entered the forest.
She sat down and leaned against the tree,she couldn't believe it,how long had it been since she had seen him.
Her father
"Hello dearie"she snapped her head to see a girl sitting on top a tree branch,legs dangling forward.
She took in the appearance of the girl,she looked exactly like her, except for the fact that the girl's hair was long reaching her waist,her skin although dark looked translucent,her blue eyes were darker,dark red lips smiled at her.
The girl was wearing a short off shoulder fitting short-sleeved purple gown with slits reaching her waist, black thights underneath and a black belt around her waist, the dress stopped at her mid thighs,black heeled mid thigh boots,her hand covered in fingerless black lacy gloves what caught her attention was the black witch's hat the girl wore.
Aviva stared at the girl warily taking few steps backwards readying her stance to fight incase it became necessary"who are you?"
The girl's smile grew wider,she jumped down the branch"I'm you,or rather I am your witch side"
"You don't know what you're talking about"Aviva snapped at her.
The girl smiled,"really,then what do you think this mark means"her fingers traced Aviva's arm,when she touched the mark of clouds on her forearm,Aviva felt a spark there.
"You're a weather witch,so was your mother,only you took after her"the girl continued"but your witch side was sealed to protect you from your father,that's why he hates you,he wanted to control me, your mom knew about it, that's why she sealed me away"
Aviva gulped as she tried taking in the information.
"But now,you need me to face the trials you will experience from now on"Aviva looked at the girl as she spoke.
"How,I don't know how to remove the seal"
"Don't worry,the high priest is known for removing seals, he'll do it,you'll be a great witch,you have potential,this is what your mother,our mother wanted"the girl smiled.
Aviva looked at her,her body fading" I'll see you tomorrow then"right after she disappeared.
Aviva looked at the spot where the girl once stood,only two words registered in her mind.
Weather witch
She stared at her fists as she allowed what the girl had told her to sink in her head.
She closed her eyes, letting out a breath,she placed her palm on her chest over her hearts,she looked at the sky"mom,please guide me."
She looked at the beautiful starry sky,hoping that Avaceria Reid had heard her.
It was dark and she made her way back home,she groaned inwardly when she realized she hadn't bought anything.
She needed to sleep early because they would be seeing the king and the nobles tomorrow and they didn't want to keep them waiting.
