Blazing Academy: Semester One (Academy For All Things Scorching #1) - Avery Song Page 0,35
was as though she was ready to attend a grand ball - every day - while her hair continued to be in its loosely curled hairstyle.
There was nothing hidden away this time. Her antlers were out and were intriguing to stare at. They weren't on fire like before, appearing as normal as any reindeer.
Her grin widened at our shock, and she clapped her hands once.
"Good to see the four of you have finally met. We can go through official introductions in a moment, but I'd like us to move to the Ceremonial Forest of Scorching Awakenings."
"Ceremonial Forest..." I tried to repeat the words, but my eyes suddenly grew so heavy I was falling over to the side with a mere blink. Arms caught me, and I heard Gabriel hiss.
"The seal is cracking faster than it should."
"It shouldn't, not when she just arrived," Keru reasoned.
"Let's move," Mrs. CloverSpell ordered. "Follow me. Gabriel. Can you keep her stable before her health declines?"
"I can," Gabriel replied with confidence.
"Good. Professor Daily will meet us there. Quickly!"
My world seemed to fade away, and all I could hope was that I'd survive whatever was about to happen to me.
Would this be a destiny worth waiting for?
Unlock The Seal And Bonded By Flames
This isn't going to work. She has more than the flame element!
The debate happening in my dream was a fierce one. While I seemed to float above a pit of fire, my subconscious laid peacefully in its depths as the heat around us grew to great volumes.
I was surprisingly calm, a state of tranquility coursing through me like waves of water crashing at the base of my body.
The voices had been debating for what seemed like hours, talking about the seriousness of removing some seal and the underlying root of the problem with there being more than one element.
I was curious as to who they were talking about and if this person would make it through whatever procedure they were about to endure.
Surely it wasn't me, but then again, I couldn't recall who exactly I was.
This was one of those out of body dreams where everything around me seemed so real, but all I could do was listen with my ears while my vision remained in the darkness and my body experienced its own journey of emotions.
"We don't have much time, Clover."
"I'm well aware of that," the female authoritative voice muttered.
"Isn't there anything we can do?" The stern voice reminded me of one of the men I'd recently met. The angry, perfect one in all white.
Gabriel, was it?
"There has to be something. Chambers wouldn't have sent us letters to come to protect Alice only for her to succumb to the breakdown of the seal." The second voice reminded me of a more joyous male. I could recall his sheepish grin while his body floated in mid-air thanks to a massive magic circle that hovered beneath his feet.
The one named after Cerberus... Right. Keru.
"What exact elements have you detected? Within the magic charts of blazing species, there are four main elements, all of them with unique traits. Blazing Fire is an obvious one," a tender voice elaborated.
His voice was extremely calming and soft. The flickering image of a sleepy male crossed my mind.
Westley.
"That's the problem," an older male voice declared.
"Elaborate, Professor Daily," Gabriel urged.
"Blazing Fire. Wind Flare. Holy Thunder. Dark Flame," Mr. Daily declared.
"S-She has all four?!" Keru stuttered. "Hold on. That's impossible. She can't have all of them when she's only sixteen. Even gifted students don't have all four unlocked. That takes the full term of Blazing Academy before Elite school happens to even reach that level.”
"You're saying she's basically Aang from Air Bender Animation, only in Blazing Academy standards," Westley concluded.
"That's what I'm sensing and that's why we're in a big dilemma," Mr. Daily declared.
"Her mother had all four elements."
"What, Mrs. CloverSpell?" Gabriel questioned. "And where is she, then? Shouldn't she be able to stabilize her daughter?"
"Alice's mother disappeared many years ago. It's the very reason why Alice lived with her grandparents and attempted staying in the human school district for this long."
"Chambers doesn't have all four elements though," Keru noted. "He only has Blazing Fire and Dark Flame."
"Which is another problem," Mr. Daily announced. "If we undo the spell, I can guarantee her Dark Flame will be one of the strongest. Wind Flare may actually be second, based on the recent events that brought her into early acceptance to Blazing Academy."
