You don't understand! Why don't you believe me?
When the signs of evil are all about you! Look at me... LOOK AT ME!! I am the only one
Who can save you... the only one who...who KNOWS how these creatures think...who KNOWS
their weakness....
Why do you laugh as if I were a madman? Wait for a second...WAIT, WAIT ... where are you taking me? WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME? Don't you see they are coming? Just answer me...
DO YOU NOT SEE THE SIGNS?
They throw me in the cell " humph" I hurt my head bleeding I crawl and tug on their coattails pleading my case.
When the last of the day's light has disappeared from the horizon...you will see...Yes. Yes,
you WILL SEE! ... And by then... It will be too late... No... NO... NOOOOOO!
The sell door close I stare out in silence shock confusion and disappointment as the guards leave me and the light at the end of the hall disappears once the final door slam close. I snap out of it. And crawl to the back of my sell and look around assessing my situation my surrounding cells are empty some have clothes other have bones the rest are empty. I shiver at the foreboding atmosphere & premonition "am going to die here........ They're gonna kill me" I take some deep breath because I was starting to panic and hyperventilate and with my breathing problems I got from bad air when I was a kid around my house in the slums and only my family knows about my affliction with enemies I always I had to be careful during those days if I wanted to achieve my dream and be the best in my field. It would seem I became too lax in my caution after graduation.
My patches last 12 hours until I need a new one if I don't get it under control by then I could kill myself before they even get a chance too. I was walking around my sell collecting what they left in there for me hay pillow and flatbed and some bottles water. I fall to the ground look up and say "What the hell am gonna do"
Its dark and dank nothing but rust surround me all I can here is Water dripping it's the only sound along with wind passing through the bars humming, the silence that surrounds me is early I have no neighbor am slighted bruised from being thrown in this sell.
I sit in the corner of my sell pondering over how I got here I achieved my dream for my country it was about to be realized my country was going to evolve into the future and right direction.
Chapter 2
this world consists of two parts upper and lower although the history of the beginning of the world has been lost throughout time a general story is known that the lower world was sealed away due to demon invasion and the rise of the demon king and his lords. The upper world where we live has been at peace for over a century now and its inhabitants consist of demi-human and human they live separately because of the great Waste Wars which happened 900 years ago where both sides agreed to seas fire and live separate sides of the world. Both sides agreeing to never come in contact and never hunt down the other. Demi human being more skeptical of human being considering they started the War decided to erect a barrier around their kingdoms that prevent human entry. 500 years later humans split off into faction kingdom based on magic resources wealth and race to avoid infighting etc. There are 5 great kingdoms with each their own specialty, the kingdom of Borus's matriarchy and earth, the Kingdom of Quinn a military state proficient in all types of combat magic and weaponry, the Farus kingdom of fire and ice magic and mastery, Laya the kingdom of wind and air magic specialty in travel and flying magic, and finally this kingdom of Aurias of water and healing magic, unfortunately, healing magic been lost to times and bloodlines so we now specialize in science and medicine and research combined with magic. The magic specialties of dark and light magic belong to all races only specific rare individuals in each the demon demi and humans can use them. Although no one has seen the demon race in eon it been said there was a great war between lower world demon and the upper demi and human the story goes that they banded together to banish them to the lower world under the surface of the earth it was then sealed by both side magic the seal supposed to renew every 500 yrs. It was said that before the seal upper and lower world lived together in harmony that was the Harmonious age with magic portal throughout the land giving access to all upper and lowers to each side of the world but something happened that sparked a war which lasted for 100 years this was the Age of Destruction which birthed magical beast it all ended in the lower world is sealed away. Unfortunately, the war between the upper world demi and humans started the Carnal Age which lasted for 200 years once they agreed on separation in came the centuries of peace we are now in the Magical age birth and return of new and old magic of all kind.
The magical beast is creatures that were rumored to be leftover from the waste war with the demons eons ago some even say that magical beats are mutated forms of all the races contaminated by unknown magic from space. Others thinks is an experiment gone wrong with a mixture is different race DNA like demi-human infected with demon blood and dark magic the ones that went out of controlled and didn't die Rome the earth mass producing and evolving. Their now just simple beast with no higher intellect.
The demi race did something similar they split by species into tribes' some wolves, elves, beast, dwarfs', fairies, with each race having subspecies, each race was under 1 leader appointed by the masses and they all fall under 1 kingdom elected by the each of the chief-tons of the races the generals. Demi lived under a magic protective and invisible shield because humans couldn't be trusted to abide by their own laws especially if they kill their own kind. They started kidnapping demi and using them as slaves in the last 2 centuries when they just started going out of their bubble. But now demi basically extinct or rare creature's because they hardly ever seen and they never leave their territory.
This is the kingdom of Aurias a matriarchy ruled by a Queen of regal and their male consorts a monarchy for over 300 years. There is also called the kingdom of water because large water reserves and high compatibly with its citizens the element of the country produces a high and large rate of water mages. The 1st queen was a water mage she founded this country because it was an area littered with magical springs. in the early years of the kingdom, the properties of the springs were eternal with a variety of healing and rejuvenation with two types of regular springs and hot springs all throughout the kingdom. Now there been monopolized by the upper class and royals only undiscovered and small low-town springs are available to help the commoners. This is the Magical or as some call it the Mythical age of advanced magic and magical technology. The look of the kingdom is Victorian London gold red and white the entire set barrier formation circular and getting smaller as you get to the inner city where the altitude rises like a mountain.
Thiers are 5 most influential families in the kingdom be it by merit and achievements, royal blood, and financial support to the country or crown. The Bella's, the Undines, Perseus, the Regales' And the Aurias
IN this kingdom females were the better gender although over the years men have slowly been getting equal rights it became official about 10 years ago when they finally were allowed to join the military. My name is Regina Alison Arias.
I am a royal scientist magician 1st in my class best science medicine researcher in the kingdom I was about to be promoted to be one of the queen royal advisors in the policy of health and have an official vote in-law and become important members of the kingdom. Right before everything went up in smoke my life was finally coming together.
Now I am stuck in a cell arrested on trumped-up charges that make no sense. Just when I was about to announce my breakthrough to the 2 largest leading causes of death tolls in this country the high-level monsters magical beast(spirit beast) that come out every full moon to terrorize and kill our citizens. And the unfortunate aftermath that spread disease, once they defeated or run out a town they're captured by the hunters and adventure guilds then they leave even more death in their wake miasma from their blood and corpse spread disease. A deadly sickness that referred to as "the draining or beast sickness" It’s a sickness that runs rampant among kingdom the hotbed of activity mostly affects the lower classes because the minimum amount of money, security, magic, and doctors available to them their streets are ruined and littered with leftover beast dropping. Usually, after killing a magical beast you’re supposed to clean up after yourself, and then the official military uses magic to clean the street once a day to prevent sickness but the lower towns are usually left to defend or clean it up after themselves. Hunters don't like the lower towns because their more dangerous more beast, other just don't care they think it enough that they killed the beast and then sometimes they’re just not enough hunters to around especially lower town are so exposed to the outside there on the edge of the kingdom. The lower class because of their poor resources it's very to produce children with magical ability and if they do tier capacity is usually low and they can't afford to send them to the academies to cultivate and get stronger. So there lower community is stagnant right now. Which is where I come in I was about to change this kingdom. The draining has killed for centuries since the Age of destruction the second Waste Wars and the age of Annihilation the first waste wars.
I discovered with mixture certain chemicals, such as mystic magic steam, arias magical healing flower, propanol, benzene, the remains of beast corpse purified in our healing springs and a specific magic combination of water wind (air) and light magic, and extraction of toxic material using dark magic I found a cure. The healing spring a form treatment used was only staving off the symptoms along with healing magic being very rare only prolonged life or increased life essence for mainly the noble's upper class who could afford the water baths daily and most used treatment magical infusions you're able to inject your own magical reserves into the person. The draining is a disease that slowly eats away at your magic then life essence. Each person is born with 100 years’ worth of life essence that slowly gets used up and shorten by their life choices and predicament (luck) by disease eating habits, alcohol abuse, injuries, etc. But if they can maintain their body every human being can live up to 100 years or more because they can maintain increase their life essence with the magic although there have only been 20 different mages who were able to go beyond 100 years old.
Ever since my mother contracted the draining when I was a child I didn't always believe I could cure it especially after the truth about my dad's death came to light. I only changed my mind after the Queen of victory speech and my recommendation to the academies the royal academy they called me a genius in magic after I created my first spell. I wanted to
make my medicine available to all classes because I was a commoner and I know what its likes to not be able to afford what you need to struggle to survive, go through starvation, abuse of the upper class, and neglect of the military, to fight fellow for a home to downsize your already small home to pay you family medical bill.
. I found a cure 2 weeks ago but I needed a way to cheaply mass produce it I was stuck. But then a few days ago I made a breakthrough on the beast problem I found a way to deter them drive them off and keep them away. Its chemical compound when combined with magic infects their cells and kills them from the inside out one shot they die in few minutes with no trace remains. I constructed them in capsule liquid form that could be fired, shot, or thrown. I can also make into an aerosol with wind magic that can be spread along the border and launch like bombs it lasts for a month on any surface. We can put the capsule in amulets and mass-produce only a small amount of magic is needed for activation the capsule can be kept and used for warding off beast it lasts for about 1 year until it needs a refill I released the information to the public as soon as possible for the protection of all now when they finally decide to build a wall at the edge of the kingdom to keep the beast out everyone will be safer for it. This more than likely how they figured out I was close to finding a cure and why I was abducted. The capsules can also be embedded into the necklaces the queen gave out for Barrier protection of all her citizens' homes most are magically attached to their house so they can’t be moved added protection is needed. I learned about the barrier and force field spells in academies with my friends Queen Aria she developed, released, and created this spell it during her reign. When I was studying remain of the beast I discovered why they were the cause of the sickness that was killing our population we called it the" the draining" it drains your life essence and magic over a period of days to years depending on how much magic you have and how old you are and your body health state. I discovered a way to mass-produce the cure making it affordable to all right before they came in trashed my lab and abducted me. Luckily I did a small unnoticeable spell I stored all-important document in my storage space ring and my compact cube that can instantly deposit information from my brain into it I did an instant scan of my lab and hid a copy of my work in the collar of my familiar my blue and black cat he escaped unharmed and unnoticed.
Each person has the chance to bond with a familiar in their 1st year of classes at to royal magic academy only mages have the ability unless familiar is adopted because of a dying master or through the family. Familiar has a 200-year lifespan unless specifically killed or the decision to die with their master. They can specialize in any attribute their master compatible with. In familiar class, they have a spell where students go into this dream-like state and travel to a foreign world where they go and meet familiar and hopefully their chosen by one and can bond with them forming lifelong partnership magic contracts.
With High magic capacity, you can stave off the draining for years especially with all the new treatments produced available. The treatment was about to be made exclusive to the nobles and high class by law by the Cora faction maintaining their right to monopolize the best of everything. But the current Queen of victory stepped in and added clause of if you can provide your own material no matter the amount the entire treatment is free to lower masses. My mentor (masters) are also royal magician scientist Shelby and Crystal who I met in the academy years ago. They focused on a cure as well because their daughter and husband were affected they taught me a lot. So even if you defeated the monsters once blood is spilled the sickness in the air and spreads like a miasma all around. Hunting parties are now required to wear a breathing mask of oxygen tanks infused with magic to keep them safe on hunts (incursions) to prevent infection. Luckily with my new breakthrough rate of infection should decrease depending on how you use my capsule you can get remain or not. There has even been a spike in magical beast lately no one knows why.
Patients can bring in their own remains and sell them to guilds like medicine to get their wages or trade it in for magic injections ill also be using this method to reduce the price of the cure if they can bring in the beast remain prices are sliced in half I also plan on giving the recipe to the church they can afford to mass-produce it and give it away for free they are 2nd base power of the kingdom. SO even if the hunter and adventurer leave the beast corpses to decay and rot after killing them, especially in the lower town the resident can collect and use them for their daily needs and for their health. The upper town even invested in a cleaning core for their street or they do themselves with their magic this option isn't available for the lower town who are poor and in low supply of magic. But with the new queen in rules, she founded a cleaning service for the lower towns or rather the entire kingdom.
But now all my plans are out the window with me being trapped in this dank dark cage not knowing what going on and with a magical inhibitor cuff on me they tried to make me sign some papers earlier maybe a slave contract I refused luckily their voluntary. Someone just entered my block, light beams are being let into this cell block it's blinding me I've been in darkness for so long it taking a while for my eyes to adjust I've been counting the days it's been 5 days, they tried to starve me out for the first 3 days but I was used to going hungry and skipping meals for half my life. When I use to go days without food. Am assuming they're sending a negotiator because a well-dressed man marches in, and open my cell he had a scar on his neck he couldn't speak he handed me a paper it read "submit or die" I respond by raising my eyebrow sitting up straight looking him in the eye with fear or trepidation I balling up the paper threw it back at him and saying " NO, now leave my site..... NOW" he actually flinches at my last words which gave me glee then I smirked because I just may have found whoever this is weakness him he could be a slave or under forced commands. As I go into deep thought the next thing I know hours went by and he's back I was about to ask when am suddenly in the air and thrown across the room i dropped and started spitting out blood. I assumed by his mixed emotion of faces that he didn't enjoy this any more than I did. That's when I knew I could never negotiate with these people because of their willingness to go this far kidnapping murder abuse these illegal methods to get their way no matter what I do I'll be screwed. I can't make deals with mystery women either especially not this man child in front of me blubbering and mixing his tears with my blood as he continued the assault. he finally stopped for a moment and I asked for whoever in charge. they refuse to reveal their identity and am supposed to still submit with this piece of paper and sign away my freedom "I am not weak I will not be made to grovel at anyone's feet and I don't believe in ultimatum blackmail or threats if I can't trust the person in the first place their no guaranty you'll do what you promise once I've kept my word because you never had my trust or even offered up yours". I also learned during my beating to block out the pain and think I figured out that this person is probably scared of me because I probably know me meaning I probably know their master which is why they're not communicating with me they don't want to let anything slip then I take advantage of it so I start thinking where I knew this person from because he did seem familiar at first I think I passed out right after that thought. When the guy finally stopped he must have placed a potion at my feet to drink once I woke back up because I had passed out. This also gave me a clue that I am important to them more alive than dead or they need me for something or maybe they just can't kill me right now. I speculated that it was because of the cure so maybe they can't kill me because of what I know or who I know and who I am. There also can't be any visual evidence of my abuse hence the potion although apparently emotion and mental abuse is fair game. Once I woke back up I was in excruciating pain and wondering if this would be a recurring thing I started to convulse then I threw up not much because they just started feeding me yesterday. I took the potion immediately before I succumbed to my injuries and passed out again if this is all they got for me I'll be fine until I can get myself out of this mess. there not all that smart although I might be healed they're really stupid I started laughing hysterically because they left witness that scared little man child who will talk once the slave contract is destroyed I assume that why he's so loyal I'll get him to my side there also a mirror in the opposite cell I took a mental image of my injuries and stored them in my brain I will use visually spell to show evidence of my abuse.
my injuries are healed but now am exhausted but something came over me a pt formed in my stomach and a burning sensation washed over my entire body I don't think I've ever been this mad in my life then these two words just spilled out of my mouth " revenge ... & vengeance " I thought I shall have it I could feel my dark magic growing inside and I didn't care. Magic gets stronger with emotion especially for light and dark magic ruled by negative and positive emotions. I made a promise to myself as I slowly passed out that I would make whoever responsible pay and including every person who helped her "I'll make them being born and ill destroy them all" was my last conscious thought before I slipped away. I went into a dream-like scape where I started constructing a plan.
I awoke to the smell of food hot soup a slice of bread and bottled of water, I dragged myself to the wall and drank them all down at a slow pace my stomach was a mess, and adjusting I did give a thought that the food could be poisoned and they could blackmail me for the cure. Then I thought they wouldn't They can't poison me until am back at peak condition or signs of abuse will show regardless of healing potions this gave me clue that they had scientist, or doctor on their side to know that. I finally remembered to boy's name I was keeping that to myself until I needed to use it but now I knew who was the mastermind or at least involved Cruella. I thought to myself "Cruella so stupid rookie mistake only having 1 person you trust but he's too recognizable to those who knew you although I haven't seen either in years" Each royal attendant has their own information network work I was about to be promoted to one I had just started reconstructing and advancing mine a few weeks before the official ceremony this was so they always know what going on in the kingdom and can advise the queen(best) and protect themselves citizens and the kingdom of any incoming dangers. My network was composed of animals and people because my familiarity came with the ability to communicate with other species in our world. MY little birdy came into my cage with news for me on what's happening outside. My familiar is a combination of any creatures it has appearance wolf and cat mixed with cat personality and dog loyalty it eats magic stones to increase its level and power they can also advance naturally with their masters. My original spy network was made last year when I informed the previous year that I might be appointed as an advisor but, I never had I reason to use it except for the protection of me and my family until now and gathering of material I needed for the cure. I was just informed that this was all an undercover plot by part of the government to enslave the people make them reliant on them. Push them away from independence because they were so close this was going to be the last monarchy this was the dream of 2 generations of Queens of regal. This plot was led by the current queen sister Cora Queen of hearts ironically she behaved as if she had none she liked her power, the class system, and gender roles just the way they were and she wanted to overthrow her sister and have even more. this was the old regime the faction now belongs to her daughter Cruella. I also sent out notes to my family and friends for help and to in from them of what really going on.
Over the years the disease has gotten better because of new treatment available it has prolonged life but, took away its quality and with a cure being years off because of the unsuccessful medical trials by magic science &research communities. It seemed bleak. But there was hope with the new preventative measures and curfews for the lower towns less and fewer commoners were getting sick because of the queen barrier there was a bill pass in parliament about an outer wall being constructed. To keep out the beast and protection against war a siege. This wall will take a while to be constructed around the kingdom the wall has to be built using magic to not damage the waterways and springs throughout the kingdom. The structure of the country is circular and tall as if going up a mountain. This unfortunately gave Cruella and Cora faction an opening to ask for inner walls separating the people by gender, class, and wealth. This would go against the queen's initiative to integrate her society and remove all barriers. The queen eventually put a stop to it only because this was right after Cora got exiled so her faction has limited numbers and no influence left to hold her stance.
Many citizens of this country are still suffering from the draining, nobles had fewer cases and more money for treatment and higher class prevention items so their quality of life was better than the commoners who had to work or donate to even be seen by doctors. The disparity in classes was outrageous and left solemn mood & angry across the lower towns. The queen then issued a proclamation at least 3 times a weak commoner get free treatment for those afflicted with the draining this helped but up until right now except for the treatment, there has been no cure breakthrough which had left the country holding their breath waiting for massive breakout or pandemic to occur. This left the populist in a state of caution and fear. Only hunters and adventures left the kingdom and went outside at night. Once the curfew was on the lower towns street were disserted there were even homeless shelters built curtsy of the queen so no one was on the streets at night. The number of hunters and combat personal fluctuated over the years and month to month decreases because of the disease, fear, and attacks, increases because of the desperate need for money, and free housing for the military there were even some daredevils in certain months that just gave up on safety. The rich are in denial and the poor are hopeless I wanted to be a shining light of hope a hero for this country and my mom and make this country shine again & glisten again before the disease and constant beast attacks. This was always my dream to save my country and cure it making the draining a thing of the past only known through history books.
Chapter 3
MY mother contracted the draining a few years after I was born luckily the 1st treatment had just dropped and I had high magic capacity unlike my dad so I kept her alive every day giving her some of my magic so her life essence wouldn't be drained. Dad was just accepted into a school of cooking he wanted to become a magic chef ever since he was little kid but he wasn't allowed too. The academy had just started allowing men into the specially designated school at this time. AROUND this time the anti-men faction was born they were revolutionaries who didn't want equality and we found out later they were a branch of the Cora faction. No one knew who the leader was back then and that they had a plan in the works over the next 2 years they helped pass a law for men to be in the army. This false hope and a way to trick the men into letting their guard down thinking that they were getting more opportunities when they were actually being led to the slaughter. It gave a sense of hope to the men that they were being accepted and that those who had dreams of being in the military it could actually happen. Unfortunately a month later war broke out (which we found out later was orchestrated by the Cora faction leaders ) there was a loophole to the men joining the army as equals they had to be 1st called to serve in the next war. So 1 male was required from every household to enlist in this up incoming war it took my dad away from me and my mom and his dream away from him this was the experience of many lower town households even some noble. After the war was over which lasted 2 years the country was in a state of fear exhaustion anger and depression it was their 1st war in a hundred years they weren't prepared for the economic physical and mental strain on their people and country. They won the war but the cost was too great or as expected in Cora's case she wanted the country to exhaust and scared to fight her and her new rules. The men were used as shields, cannon fodder while the women who were trained to fight & won the battles. This was schemed by the anti-men faction to show the men of their country equality was impossible and to show them they were expendable. This dampened down their momentum and crushed their hopes and dreams. This was also a warning to not wish for anything or this will happen again it was a threat. My father died in that war my mother wept and consumed too much energy in her grief the doctor had to put her in a medically induced coma to use as little as possible because she was on death's door unfortunately there were a lot of similar cases in the lower towns. MY mom's mind was put in a magic dreamscape so she could deal with her grief as were the others to prevent exhausting their magic supply and not to die. I visited her every day for a month I even discovered a way to get into her dream so we could help each other through our grief. This got discovered and that's how I was recommended to the royal magic academy where I majored in science and magic for 6 years. I graduated 1st in my class with commendation and a class increase to Baroness.
Before all that happened a month after my mom was put into a magical coma. News dropped and leaked about a plot for a mass genocide of the male population using the war as an excuse and it was all to put them in their place. AURIAS queens are referred to as Queen of Regals in history books until they earned their own titles the current queen Aria Lilia Aurias she discovered the faction of women responsible and sentences them to death class drop financial seized and some were imprisoned our queen of regal was hailed as the queen of justice and victory Aria where she got her own moniker.
There were some flaws in Cora plan she didn't count on a group of men excelling in the war and making a name for themselves the queen reward them with an investigation guild and the authority to root out all gender bias and make this a country of equality. This brought back the movement momentum picked back up the men had hope for a better future again and they felt that their queen cared. The Queen concubine King Consort was very weak in health so he couldn't be a symbol no one knew what with some speculated the draining. The group of men consisted of 2 nobles and 3 commoners apparently they all been training their bodies all their lives for a chance to join the military if they ever got one. The queen bestowed upon them 2 rank increases Major general Flint undine the bold earth bender, Josh Percius god of water, and Major Henry Burk the flame swordsman, and Adel Aura the swift air walker. They all have sons who followed in their footsteps they also went to royal academies to one of them was a scientist in my year Allen Aura many high-born nobles and royal princes join their guild. My friend robin joined along with the 5th prince. Their sons now run the guild while the fathers focus on military matters. The guild only for men until equality is more infamous in our country, today they have also expanded and are under the direct purview of the queen for protection against anti-men they've been sanctioned the queen she believes in them and their cause. Their son trains squads and goes out themselves for mission investigation of gender bias and other crimes.
The faction led my queen sister Cora. She had just unleashed her plot this happened over 10 years ago onto the male population that led to their deaths including my dad. At this time when the news was released that my father was murdered, I felt a need for vengeance but it was immediately satiated by queen aria punishment. I felt fire in my soul I wanted to burn the world to the ground but there was no one to blame so I just refocused my anger on getting into the academy to cure my mother she’s all I had left and what was left to me.
QUEEN Aria Aurias when the investigation was complete the queen announced her own redirect to her people" if you know something say something no matter who it is wrong if cant does something about yourself your queen always on your side justice" the day of her exposure of this factions crimes because the news was officially sent out via articles in the newspaper describing how the queen and her companions discovered investigated this matter on their own time in secret until they had solid evidence and punished the guilty. This all started because the queen realized the number of men kept dropping. Since even before the war since men's equality act started. The queen of justice inspired She inspired me to become a magician of justice and gave me confidence in myself I believed that was smart enough and had enough magic to cure my mother so I took the test for the Royal magic academy the consisted of written and practical I didn't do too hot on the written but because I had to Drop out of school cause mom was sick and I had earn money for us to live and eat by donating magic which made me too tired to study so my reading wasn't up to par but I got extenuating circumstances because my dream enters discovery magic which earned me a recommendation letter. The practical was easy they just ask me to touch crystal and it showed I had a high magic aptitude for most elements and a large reserves I was designated rare genius and give special privileges of salary and rank increase to noble immediately... The next day my letter acceptance came in apparently and I have the great adaptive capability along with a large mana pool that holds your magic reserves all attributes (magic reserve). This is where my journey began to become a magician of justice and science
Since I was 10 years old I had a dream of becoming a royal magic scientist it sprung up as a possibility my world grew along with the belief I had in myself and the future this all happened the day the queen of justice was born and she announced her verdict and discovery to the citizens.
When dealing with the leader of the revolutionaries Queen Aria had found a way to deal with her older sister Cora because she was a royal with her own line, title, and right to the thrown it was trickier to punish her when her punishment was finally settled, she escaped to the next kingdom over Borus. She had an escape plan in order but she left behind her 2 daughters and her husband on purpose probably. Their reputation wealth and their good name were affected but because they were both accepted into the academy they remained unscathed in rank and wealth because they were too young to be complicit. The queen fairly dealt with her family member and took them under her wing until they were sent off to the academies their father was punished for knowing something was wrong but never saying anything with a rank drop and seizure of half his assets he was imprisoned for 4 years.
So all the princesses from the queen offspring and her sister attended the magic academies for study for the crown races for the thrown of Aurias there's the 1st princess Ruby Aurias Ursula knight combat magic and heiress major, Ursula Aurias the 2nd princess the genius businesswoman graduated early, Zelana Aurias 3rd PRINCESS law magic literature heiress major AND the 4th princess Cruella Aurias science, magic, heiress major. Zelena is estranged from her mother and sister they ignored each other in their house. Cora never tried to get to know her daughter so Zelana was the apple of her father's eye they were in the sink and inseparable. When Zelena tried to enter her mother's world they clashed on fundamental issues she even tried to ruin her mother's plan and report the genocide to her aunt but Cora imprisoned her this meant she was completely rejected and also where she developed a fear of tight dark places. She was imprisoned until the plan was over then afterward she was release and threatened by her mother and sister that if she told anyone that they were responsible she would be implicated and just as guilty as them she got scared off which she’s ashamed of now but I told her she was a kid and she did her best she can forgive herself apparently she’s carrying around this guilt for years now even though the queen exonerated her well I forgave her as a citizen and a victim she burst out crying. The father found out and was furious he finally stood up to his wife and ask for separation and testified against her the father Henry was always a quiet and reserved man who always did what his wife told him at 1st it was because he loved her and she was always right but over the years she soured and turn spiteful and mean about losing the thrown to her sister in their race to the crown there marriage wasn't based on love but trust which was stronger to them but he didn't have any in her anymore. She changed so much he didn't recognize her and she became more violent toward everyone he got scared now they avoid each other like the plague unless necessary this also when he lost his 2nd daughter to Cora while he was grieving the loss of his marriage and wife and he didn't notice how Cruella changed and stayed under her mother wing, unlike Zelana who stayed by his side and comforted him. he was wracked with guilt about leaving his daughter to Cora she was always easily influenced as a child her Zelena were best friends but everything was lost during this time there was nothing he could do any longer Cruella was glued to Cora side and so she never listens to a word he said we learned later on that Cora had revealed the truth to her to keep her on her side and to isolate her from her sister and father. He suspected that she'd been poisoned against him. They split their assets in 2/3 at that time going to Cora and 1/3 rd to henry. They lived separately on the same estate. Although Bothe girls still had their inheritance split down the middle. Thiers's father Henry tried to bring Cruella along but Cora hooks were in to tight and there was never a close connection between henry Cruella she was mama girl. She was too much like her mother. At this point henry almost forcefully took her until Cora admitted that Cruella wasn't his so he had no right this did waver Cruella some that he didn't know but still wanted her even though she wasn't his she still budge. Although he didn't care Cruella didn't want to come. But she did build a secret relationship with her father at that point without Cora's knowledge. Cora secretly trained Cruella in her plots and schemes she was in on her previous plans the mass male army genocide. She actually let her plans slip to her dad who told Zelana who already knew but wasn't trusted with specifics. Zelena after her plans to stop genocide failed when the investigation was opened up she ran to her aunt and told her what she knew which made certain pieces start falling into place in their investigation. Aria kept the royal name out of papers and decided to deal with the matter internally only upper echelon new Cora was the leader and no one knew daughter were ever involved. Unfortunately this dint work month later unedited story and circumstances released luckily against the law to use minor so Zelena name was kept out of the papers. Zelena asked for immunity for her sister because of her dad but Cruella felt betrayed and stupid for spilling sensitive information she got slapped and abandoned by Cora as well and she didn't trust her dad. So she started her own ambition and revenge plot for the thrown against her sister, aunt, and dad once she got the thrown. Zelena bin keeping tabs on her sister but stopped after graduation. Because she thought they'd never see each other again unless by coincidence or summons or royal race they ran different circles and had opposite interests and friends. I remember when Zelana spilled the entire messy story to me after our kidnapping when I asked her what Cruella's deal is. We got up in the middle of the night and drank ourselves to sleep because we were too traumatized to sleep on our own. Cruella plots and revenge plan was in full swing after graduation she was the one responsible for an increase in beast attack at the border of the kingdoms with the help of her mother from Borus running things from that side sending all their beats to our kingdom a win-win for Borus. This one of the reasons the number of cases of the draining fluctuated so much. Cruella even had a boy servant who she was best friend with growing up they were inseparable he kept her centered throughout her family drama he was an orphan but as she changed along with her mother her feeling for him warped and because she saw how her dad pushed her mom away when she changed she put him under a slave contract and removed his voice so he would never leave or betray her like her father. Cruella developed a potion to lure the beast and sent the composition to her mother. Zelena told me all of this in the academy after we got close 4 about 1year we told each other our life stories. Over the years Cora kept in contact with Cruella who made her own plans and alliances as her mother supported her from Borus. Zelena started again secretly keeping her eye on her sister her father in contact with her but she doesn't trust him anymore so there not close and I think their entire family under a microscope considering their mother's pass crime by the government. Zelena told me she's always been alone but now she has me and the rest of the gang as her new and better than ever family to annoy her to her heart's content we spent the rest night laughing.
Chapter 4
I sit in this dank dark cell soar and aching all over, only being fed on their time I released all my self-pity and hatred in large and loud scream “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” i also did to annoy the guards then I sit in meditation and cultivation to get myself under control and stronger I thought “that flashback just gave me another clue that was Cruella manservant and her weak link that I will exploit it to destroy her now what is name Zelana told me it was “Belia.......Paul?”
The queen of justice announced on the day of her coronation a month after her article leaked about the Cora faction, that she will be striving for democracy because she believes inequality between genders and that this country can progress forward enough to remove the class divide and that the citizens need to be in charge all of this is supposed to go into effect after the next generation queen. The decree was made to all and the next queen would have to abide by her rule.. Democracy gets rid of the class system giving families more freedom meaning that everything is voted on by the people meaning mass genocide failure and catastrophe can’t ever happen again without the input of the entire assembly council and the people. Many dads died in the Waste war 2 my dad didn’t want to participate he was small stature with no muscles but this was a mandatory call to arms especially from the lower class of the inferior gender. Some nobles and peasants fled other nobles made bribes. Leaving was difficult they still had the pass the war. The decree stated “ 1 mail from every peasant and noble household is required to enlist” The war lasted for about 2 yrs., for my family before and during and after the war it was a difficult time for everyone the entire for the country. So many households hold was in pain lonely grieving and low on funds. The only reason my mum stayed alive during the war with her draining was that I had a lot of magic, and we didn’t have any money coming in to afford medicine and there wasn’t a cure at the time. We basically lived at the hospitals and shelters it was easier to commute less money was needed I made my double donation for mom and my pay we had already sold our home at this point for a permanent place in the clinic. The lower class had no money to pay for anything jobs were scarce because most countries' funds went to the war. The beast attack was up and down with so many humans invading their territory and making it a war zone so a lot of business was close until the war ended whenever that is. There was money that came home for me and mother a relief fund for army vets. My mom couldn’t work anymore 1 year into the war, the draining took too much out of her she was a liability more than an asset so she was suspended from the blacksmith guild which was provided the weapons for war her quality in the product were slipping she agreed she doesn't want to produce sub-par work and get some killed this was all for the best and her own good. being a single parent who couldn’t support us we had to sell most of our stuff and our house we were saved by dads money he got Stipend dropped off at the house every month I remember thinking when dad comes back he'll go cooking school and become professional join a guild all the while we can get back on track I just kept rending myself once the war was done he would come home and everything would be fine and back to normal little did I know was so naive and the horror that was coming. I lived at hospitals with my mom and whenever they kicked me out I lived in different shelters and orphanages in the slums. The only good thing that happened to me around that time was that I met my friend robin my first love and his merry men, his brothers. He fed me, taught me how to survive and defend myself in the slums and on his heist. The street of the lower town was chaos during the war robbery, murder, it was a lawless time, the noble street was empty of fear of the war, magic beats, and the commoners. The time was depressing, harsh, cold, and hot the battles in the war used magic to do it messed with the weather around each kingdom our fluctuated between those two states. It was a miserable time unfortunately the queen of victory hadn’t awaked yet she was also on the battles field fighting. When the war was over I remember going outside the hospital leaving my sick mother asleep in need we just got the news about dad dying. My world started crumbling around me as I realized the world would never go back to the way it was I'd never see dad again my surroundings lost color I couldn't feel the rain falling on my skin then sound vanished my eyes glazed over I couldn't see I burst out whaling in the rain nothing made sense anymore “AAAAAAAAA, why whhhhyyyyyy why why why me, dammmmmmiiit DDDDDDDDAAAADDDDDDDDDYYYYY,” my senses returned and I looked around me I was comforted that I wasn't the only one but disgusted with myself and appalled at how many of us were there some were even just sitting on the floor in despair SILENCE DEAD EYES wondering how did we get here. I got up off my knees went over everything I had left of my dad’s he always said to me in times of sadness list them out and realize their not that many and as I did I started to cry and laugh at the same time “we had no home, 1 sick mother “ugh ugh” 1 dead dad “AAAAA “ I screamed “AND NO HOPE “ I whispered the last of it I passed out in the street from exhaustion. The lower town felt this loss deep in their souls everyone was angry, dissatisfied, sad, in pain, etc. why did this haft to happen and why did our royals allow this to happen how is our home gonna recover from this. Were left with barely anything and dad died we had our own funeral for him because the army did mass grave for the men because they were too lazy and there were too many of them to identify. I made his tomb out of rock dirt cement water and magic. It had “here lies the best dad in the world best chef best husband and honorable vet. we sold a lot of our things so we didn't have a lot of dad things left but mom had anticipated this possibility and saved some things our family portrait 2 of his shirts and his family medallion he made himself we each had one he left it with mom in case and for safekeeping to give back on his return. Theodore Aurias” (mom royal family) it was raining that day too it matched our moods weeping willows. Mom used little of her magic to plant apply tree next to Dad's grave it’s our family's favorite fruit red apples.
It turns out moms is a quarter royalty her family went into ruin when she was 8yrs so she was destitute her mother abandoned her at an orphanage for her own safety. She had a good amount of magic at the time and always dreamed of making weapons her mother had written a recommendation letter to the weapon smith and combat guild they had from before everything happened, she became a blacksmith and joined the combat guild. She met my father an orphan from the slums a couple of years later. She was still training school at the guild so she still did outside work for extra cash she was his customer everyday same time right before she goes on her lunch break working in a dinner. They hated each other in the beginning, they were like fire and ice for months but they both secretly liked each other so they enjoyed the arguments. Dad loved her because she was the only woman who respected him and didn’t tease him about his dream of becoming a chef. She loved him because when he found out about her last name he didn’t curry favor or insult family luck he treated as is. They both had no prejudice and fell in love with each other when my mom saved him from getting beat up in a back alley by some hater anti-men supporters.
With the coming of democracy class system will be done there will be no more upper and lower class, academies, and school will include all students from all backgrounds. The money confiscated from crimes of the anti-men faction and Cora faction will now be distributed to families who suffered because of their orchestrated war and mass death counts especially to the lower towns until the economy of the kingdom had balanced out or at least until they are at middles class and economy can blend and thrive. From this point on Nobles heiress who didn’t earn their titles but given through inheritance from now on their will be special schools and majors to decide successors. This was designated for specific learning such as succession then family voted on most capable air no matter the gender. The only way to move up society from now on is to personally earn money, fame, smarts accomplishment business discoveries, etc. The starting school will start with basic knowledge its a requirement for every child to graduated it take up to 4-5 years. Then they will choose to get a job or go to an academy or join a guild and attend their special schools such as magic hunting science cooking business martial arts weaponry etc. guild isn’t a requirement to get a job it just preferred because of it benefits opportunities and connections.
When I entered the royal academy every student gets a rise in rank I became baroness with a lump sum of the money from dad's death compensation, my heist funds, and money that comes along with my new status I waste to establish a new better life for me and my mom. So anyone can become nobles if they want to and have the drive to and all nobles from this point on will have to earn their titles money can be passed down but not rank and the respect and whatever comes with it. So although the class system will be breaking sown there will be no lower and upper towns all the streets will look the same and have the same benefits, all citizens will be worth the same and abide by the same laws. The construction operations for lower town are going on now. The new nobles have privileges because they earned them and no abuse of power is allowed nobles are now under strict scrutiny there has even been a security department in the military just for to keep the nobles in check. With the new changes coming into play the military has been split up into 2 departments one for inside kingdom security and outside the border security and each division has multiple sectors.
With my new rank, I got a new home fully furnished and I bought back all our stuff I could, I also installed a built it clinic for my mother I also hired full-time help to take care of her one of my friends and orphan from the slum she goes by lily. She one robin merry men she wants to be recommended for medicine academy she needed extra money for her siblings. So I hired her to takes care of my mom while am at school. Where I swore to cure my mother and become a royal science magician. I was going to achieve my dream no matter what I’ll save my mother and protect my country. When I lived in the lower towns before the war earlier in mothers illness and the beast were rampant and there was nothing I could do but hide underneath the floorboard every night while mum dad stood to watch I was too little to even help or know what was going on all I knew was that we lived dangerous part of town and I was scared of the dark and nighttime, but after the war and the victory queen created her shield magic amulets to put on every house like a magic barrier to keep beast out it was delivered to every home in the entire kingdom infused with her magic to protect us so the beast could not get us all free it was eternal magic only the queen of regal have bestowed this magic on their coronation to make spell last forever and it land-based magic so it doesn't work outside the kingdom magic ebbed into the land many kingdoms have it and many do not.
Chapter 5
Am back in the dungeon I've been here for 6weeks in counting its hard to keep track the only reason I know what time it is because of light streams from the bars that tell me when it morning afternoon evening night I also have my 1-day meal time like clockwork midday. I refuse to sit on my hands and wait for my doom am going to destroy the people who put me in here every day my plans grow further more complex and I get in contact with more people outside to bring them to my side. I was thinking of sending out some assignation orders but that would make me as bad as my enemy and death are too quick and good for them. They deserve to be alive to suffer their consequences. I have been reading the reports my spies have been sending me on what actually going on it turns my entire life is a lie and I got mixed up with a struggle for the thrown this was all done by the 4th princess Cruella she wanted to be crown princess future queen and do away with equal rights for men lessen their counts and keep people reliant on the crown by keeping country always in danger. She helps create mutate and further the draining with the potions she sent to her mother. She joined together with the remainder of coconspirators of the Cora faction and anti-men revolutionaries.my kingdom they went to war with the kingdom of Borus another matriarchal they didn't want this kingdom views to infect or pollute their citizens because somewhere changing even defecting to out the kingdom. They wanted this independence and equal right nipped in the but at the source even if they haft to annihilate this kingdom to keep their ideals they will, so they joined hands with the Cora faction back in the day, and Cora now the new Cruella faction. When they succeeded they planned to rebuild this country from scratch in their own image. This information was obtained over the course of weeks listening to conversation reading documents interrogating low and high levels within the faction. The information was brought to me and I put it together over (Time). I even discovered they placed a mole in my lab to watch over me because of my great successes from academies and after I am considered a genius in my field with magic and science. Am glad whenever it came to my research I was never friendly with my lab tech and colleague while I was working whenever I worked I was always the super focused,1 track mine, I block everything else out. Luckily the draining research was locked up in my home lab no one has access too and no one knew about. I also realized the only reason they would send someone to infiltrate my work is that they wanted one of my research and based on the past crimes they must have found out that I was working on a cure and only knowing about my public lab how di they know. This spy could have destroyed any future plans in the works for curing my mother am glad she safe I hired a couple of bodyguard for me and her after one of Cruella incident back when I was in school so she's protected and they're good at collecting information. They probably deciding what to do with me and how long they can keep me alive before someone else makes a move. I have been known to go off into my lab for weeks at a time and not be seen or be in contact with anyone sometimes mother wouldn't even know because I would put her in a magical coma to conserve her life essence when I went away. A week before I was arrested there was a break in and I didn't know who did I thought it was a robbery and they got lucky and found my secret private lab. My entire house was a complete mess lucky mother wasn't home she was getting an official check-up at the new all included hospital. This must have been when they found out how far along I was with my cure and knew they needed to act fast once they found out I was ready for mass production they were in a hurry. They weren't as careful as they should have been they probably didn't turn off the security watcher I installed and they made a lot of noise kidnapping me using paid professional combat (mercenaries hunters) guys to be a fake guard or they paid off real ones I sent the proof to Zelena so she could build a case.
i remember my kidnapping vividly now one time at night at my lab on campus and I was bone-tired I tried using my magic but they knocked me out and put that magic black cuff on me and dragged me to my new home. My home lab reinforced and inside my research kept in a safe, it will only open to my voice password so my indebted research was safe formula and a recipe for making the cure.unfortunately they got m to throw away research so they have the how and why but not the results. My undercover network removed my mom and took her to a safe location in case they try to blackmail me. Mother still doesn't know what's going and she's not in a state to handle it.
I also discovered more in-depth about their plans past and future, like that the draining the increase in case and mutation along with the increase in beast attacks was done by the Cora government faction they were using our enemies who just went to war with that they orchestrated as pons to keep lower-class down and weak, beast attacks more frequent and deadly, the draining more potent and an ongoing problem. Borus provided access to more monsters luring them to our countries border luckily most can't get in because the magical wall construction was almost finished. These beast coming from Borus had mutated strain of the draining and men were more susceptible to it. I have a feeling Cruella worked on it but am not worried my cure included possible mutation as well and if I ask for the queens help I can use her eternal magic to make the draining extinct. They were also constructing a plan to get this new beast over the wall. This makes sense now I remember about 2 months ago the government was giving away free housing to the lowers town males especially the ones who could fight and are hunter mercenaries and combat mages they would want to be close to the beast action. I heard the news from robin some of his brothers are getting shared housing because they want to live together not at the hunter guild because non-guild members if not children can't live in guild housing.
I have a limited amount of time to find a way out of this cage either legally or not I sat in contemplation a continued constructing a plan I thought over everything and with all information I have from my own spy network. I know I don't have a lot of allies right now because most nobles follow the 4th princess and the neutral won't get involved luckily there are 2 other factions I could get help from. I thought " and to thinks, I promised myself and my friends and family that wouldn't get involved with the struggle for the crown, well it's too late now Cruella just remembers you made me do this" I was always asked to participate I would be a great addition to their team they say but I did want the hassle or responsibility of choosing or supporting the next monarch it an honor but it dangerous and can get you killed but apparently I've just been dragged into it or rather I accidentally stepped on a land mind and almost blew myself up. Cruella faction has a final goal it's to stop royal independence decree from being made law and official public knowledge to keep royal in power, to win the thrown, restoration of the class system, and gender roles using the magical beasts and the draining to do it. Democracy was announced about over 22 years ago when the previous queen made the announcement. Their plan had been in the works for years, they have been removing nuisances from their chess board for years I remember for heiress classes assignment for royal ember they were sent out on assign to help the investigation team of the military figure out who responsible for these assignation missing and mysterious and death and why.
I kept my research under wraps until it was finished so my removal was a rushed job and because I am of highly known 1st in my academy class, a genius in my fields, and old peasant new noble I am well known they haven't figured out what to do with me as of yet meaning I have a limited amount of time to figure a way out of this mess. I need to escape and come up with a counter-attack and find allies. luckily for me am about to become part government they probably don't know because it wasn't made official yet so that a trump card and apparently I was told I had a friend in high places I don't know who but am thankful for added protection Cruella will rue the day she messed with me.
Over the year i have made friends of influential people in the kingdom people who id risk my life for and they’d do the same for me we all met, got to know each other,and became family in the academies. ever since i graduated i have been single-minded and focus on curing my mom so no new friends because after years of having the draining the magic injection treatments don’t have the same effect her body adapted and now needs more magic than i can give her or supply she getting immune. That’s why I’ve been working so hard hardly seeing my friend and family since graduation and they knew and didn’t mind they all had their own lives and they always come by once a week to check up on me or bring me food and make me take a break.
During my childhood from 0-7,my mom was always the strict one with the rules and punishment and the chores. She was very active and always dirty and smell like soot and metal she was a blacksmith and Gardner in her free time. She said when even she was stressed out from an order or quest at the guild she would go out into the wild and use her nature magic meditate and center herself it always relaxed her. When I was turning 8 there was a huge magical beats attack I hid under the floorboard dad and mom stayed in guard but the beast got inside the house mom used one of her weapons and ran it out, she fought with she finally killed it but she ended up being scrapped.
The beast was tiger winged beast and middles stage beast luckily mom high stage grade weaponsmith and she made weapon for me herself and my father once every year if her skill improved to protect are selves she even infused her little nature magic into the weapons she was even teaching us how to use them, unfortunately. We took her to the hospital to get treated, mom wasn’t too banged up she got to ch up and sent home. but unfortunately, the beast she killed didn’t get cleaned up properly because we didn’t know how to properly dispose of it, apparently, the hunter is supposed to pick them up using a magical storage bag but since they didn’t kill it they did clean it up and we had too because we got tired of waiting for them. We sent a request to the guild but no one came. I think they were being spiteful because mom didn’t their job and took money out of their pocket because mom got a big reward for her defeat. We waited for days before mom moved it herself and cashed in the remained to pay for her doctor’s appointment with some leftover. At this point, the draining was hard to identify in its early stage we only realized mom was sick after she could barely continue working, and using her plant magic bleeds her of all energy dry and has her passing out. We realized she was sick she was diagnosed with the draining 2 days later everyone was devastated I thought she was going to die and that was the beginning of the worse times for us.
During my academy days, my mother would always make time for me even when she was sick and was tired she couldn’t get outta bed. She would wait up for me after classes in basics and the academy and listen about my day she would even let me run theories and ideas by her about my research and study because i never had any close friend in my field. I know my mom misses my dad a lot i hear her crying in her sleep some nights. He was the best dad in the world he always encourages me to dream big back then i just wanted to be a nurse i didn’t know I had the ability to be more think or do be good at anything else. My dad uses to help out with my homework in basic school and my cooking. He started training his body seriously when mom got sick to protect us from bullies he started working out after his run on with the anti-men faction years ago. We both really miss him but we will survive. I was a very introverted person always kept to. Unless it necessary so i didn’t make a lot friends until the academy.
I made some lifelong partners in the academy i will call on for help and include in my revenge plot and escape plan. I was friends with 2 royals, 1 commoner like me , and 2 nobles both from influential families. The irony was i went to school with about 4 the princess and 2 princes they were all like rival some were more friendly than others. Cruella the 4th she was in science and heiress course as well. We always bucked head over everything because of our different views and the same interest. She wanted to discover a way to make men obsolete and wipe them out by doing that she would automatically gain support from certain factions for the thrown anti-men and a reminder of Cora faction and anyone who opposed the current queen policies.
The queen has always been chosen by merit there school accomplishments and 2-year real-world results then she conducts popularity contest and lets candidates campaign it was announced on the last 2 princesses graduation the 4th & 3rd princess. The 2nd Ursula princess was genius a graduated early and started her own business she abdicated the thrown as well she preferred her own work. I also knew the 1st princess she was my senior and friend. So i have 5 favors i could cash in or friends i could call to help me out we still meet up once a month to check in on each other lives were all so busy. We even made a panic signal on my graduation in case any we needed extreme help and was in big trouble with family, business whatever. We all got along so well in school because of single-minded goal and workaholics.
I just read all my reports I’ve been getting just finished my 1 meal a day a. Sandwich/soup and water. The activity outside my cell has started to increases one of my spies just told me they set a trial date for in a month to contact my friend make allegiances to crash my trial and set me free. I told Zelana back in the academy i would never get involved in the struggle for the thrown no help would come from me, It would be too much off a bother but now it’s on and i need help so i need to make some deals. We always agreed from the jump when came to serious matter wed behave like allies,not friends or family so when it over there are no hard feelings.
I’ve contacted Zelana we made a deal that i would join both her and 1st princess rubies faction and help them with whatever they asked as long as it doesn’t conflict with the other. And that my cure would go to know one's side I did the work am gonna get the credit. They both have a truce going no dirty tricks allowed if either is in trouble or need help against Cruella schemes they would. So sent out a letter to all my friends with our secret SOS. I made deal with Zelana she will be royal power of eternity she best lawyer in the kingdom and she would defend me, ruby is the vice commander of knights she will be my seen protection bodyguard her dream was always to become queen if not the knight captain of forces in Aurias the knight is the outside faction of the military always war-ready and sent out on expedition and diplomacy talks. The royal backing at this point should have everyone shut up if there are any objections they don’t want to risk one of them becoming queen and holding a grudge.
She was the muscles in case things got violent at the trial. The 1st prince Alfred is in the royal assembly and is the official speaker he will bring more nobles to my side by using the ones who want to get in good with him and especially the ones with an interest in my cure for their loved ones and money horses. My noble friends provided money and resources and smaller nobles under their support. I had now quality and quantity backing my noble friends were high nobles with a lot of vassals 1st of her house Marchioness Maleficent Aura merchant family became nobles through donation and merits and Duchess Emma Aurora is of royal descent with rare healing magic that has been lost over the centuries. Mal set up outside travel and living in case I had to flee to another country because of her trade routes to them. Emma was going to release my cure if I couldn’t and take care of my mom if anything happened to me. Mom always liked Emma considered her 2nd daughter because she took care of her so much when she came over she was in the medicine guild. Emma doesn’t like magic so she will learn the basics of how to control it and nothing more. After an incident where she had to use it on me after one of Cruella attack, she decided to study medicine and put her magic to good use but she refuses to use it for anything else.
Emma’s mother died from an accident with magic it overloaded and she killed her after she had a fight with her husband he estranged from Emma especially after she moved in with Mal family. She was just a kid she’s still traumatized by this. Emma's sister went abroad to another kingdom to study Laya. Finally, the commoner turned noble like me the Baron studied assassination magic and martial arts. Robin Lockwood was my plan B with mal and Emma in case they decided to kill me and i need a fast escape. He works for any noble especially he’s now dating her ruby as an assassin and thief he studied archery as well.
My prep is done everything will begin in 4 days from now. I have been in this dank dark cage for weeks, i have the ability to escape but I won't be a fugitive that last resorts. I am all healed up and recovered, but if I escape I’ll be branded as guilty a criminal and traitor. And that’s what they want I noticed my security was getting a little lax over the weeks. They just wanna issue a manhunt to kill me on site and burn my homes they’ll probably start implicating my friends and family later so they won’t get revenge or make sure they don’t have back up cure formulas and this would all be for nothing. I getting so mad just thinking about it. Luckily they did not expect me to set up safety measures in place ahead of time in case of my unlikely demise if I died I installed a spell on my familiar with a copy of all my spell buried treasure locations and all my research form invention to the cure I also installed a list of people to deliver it too so I will never be silenced even in death ill be a pain in their asses.
I’ll have a good laugh beyond the grave. That I won’t go down that way. The plan will work it has to. I’ve been training my magic all my life and basic body strength as well and extra training in my cell I learned self-defense from robin when we were kids and in the academy to protect myself. So I was ready as I'll ever be.
Chapter 6
1st day of school I went in early for the freshman opening orientation ceremony there's no uniform but mandatory robes everyone's receives 2-3 robes, classes are morning till early afternoon and clubs end in the evening. The Club showcase lasted for the rest of the week and started after the ceremony most usually decided to join a club in their 2nd year so they can get used to the school and work-life but it’s no longer a requirement. A year after queen aria's new title was announced I got my affairs in order & commissioned a new home and workers to install a lab and clinic for me and my mother. I explained to my mother my acceptance of the magic academia and how I was going to study science and research. My schedule was busy so I hired a nurse to look after her and I would see her everyday b4 and after school and on my free days wed spend the day together just the 2 of us or my friend would come over. She supported my dreams and she believed I could cure her but she never added any pressure on me I was grateful. She just always said I love you and I am always proud of you for doing your best.
1st day of school we're assigned to homeroom 1A the recruited or recommendation students the ones who had recommendations and high marks on the entrance exam. The school also announced at the ceremony that classes will be co-ed from this school year on. The men's right group in school are composed of 1st prince Alfred a 3rd-year literature and mathematics prodigy he also studies magic invention as a hobby in academics known as failure prince with pretty words because he has little to no magic capacity and 5th prince in name only a 1st-year magic studies & prodigy arts and cooking Alan. I met Zelena this day we clicked immediately I don't know why, it was like we were always meant to be friends, family, and sisters we stayed outside and talking for hours in the garden until the time just flew by about our family our dreams. She told me Alan was actually her step-brother her father got remarried and had a son. They're close enough the woman was older than her father he was pretty young but he seems happy so she was. After her father joined the cooking guild and went into their training program he discovered he had a talent for magic cooking. This all happened when the rights of men increased due to the coalition and because his wife Cora had fled he had more freedom to explore his own interest. One of his training instructors was the woman he married vice leader of the guild Helena Moreno a Countess a branch of the Undines at their wedding, apparently Cruella felt like she was being replaced and forgotten not realizing she's doing that to herself she made a spectacle and ex-culminated herself but the day was saved by Zelena heartwarming speech welcoming her and her son into the family and apparently getting the mother-daughter relationship she always wanted she was promised and got. the son also got a father who understood him and his talent his real father died in the war a hero but they never got along or ever seen eye to eye on anything but with Henry they just click. Zelena loved this new version of her dad he was happier and had the life she loved eating his food. They actually held a party on our graduation the food was delicious henry had opened up his own restaurant firsts in the noble district owned by a male and it branched out to other smaller locations in commoner towns. Zelena asked for help from Mal and Ursula for her dad's restaurant. The Official name is the Mist Haven Sweet Delight.
Men had just earned the right to be the same class and not be taught in the separate wing so the entire school turned coed from the classes to the teachers. In our class 1/3 were boys from influential families & royalty and 1 peasant. Who I recognized he lived a few doors down from me and my mom before she got sick and we downsized to the slums. We use to play together Robin Lockwood. He's from the orphanage they realized his athletic talent and sent him to take the royal academy exam. As a punishment for his thieving and an away to straighten him out and get rid of more mouths to feed, they also did it for the benefits of sending a kid to the academies you get payback fees. He started off living in the dorms until his home was finished the dorms used to be the only female but now they have all been upgraded and fitted to each gender. Robin considered himself an honorable thief, when I use to go out on a mission with him I always looked up to him, he always had a plan and we were always successful. We lost touch halfway through the war I had spent more time with my mom and he had more mouth to feed so went on the mission on my own i still joined the occasionally. I remember I use to have a huge crush on him I told him he was gonna be my husband when I grew up he agreed. He steals from the rich to fill his merry men the poor in lower town and orphanages stomachs. He feeds his people first then everybody else he was the hero of commoners. He adopted all his merry men and they live in his new house he made them all vassals for his new baron estate. After the war, the queen gave out a lot of funds of criminals to the lower town so there was no more need for their hero. Which when the orphanage director realized he wasn't useful to them anymore he brought notoriety to their orphanage but now he's has been that more wanted criminal than exalted hero. When he left he's also put into work construction a building for his own orphanage and he's teaching one of his brother's john to run it with another who was he sent off to preacher school Tuck. Tuck was always the funny guy with cute baby face caramel skin and green eyes and golden hair that would make anyone puddy in his hand he'd always dreamed of becoming a Friar uses his word and charisma to get buy and help people. John was the big shy guy platinum jet black round like a big teddy bear and very protective he was always great with kids. I remember our reunion i asked what made him enroll he said during the war he saw the worst and best of humanity he said "this country may not be able to protect it people but I can sure as hell protect mine" he also said he doesn't have much loyalty for the country and its people but am gonna change that or at least do the best i can". The lower town turned on him after the war was over and especially after the fund was distributed robin and his men basically got run out because the crimes now went for the greater good but bringing trouble to their doorsteps. He studies assassination (ninja) and combat, magic, and archery so we have few classes together but he was my 1st friend and familiar face on my 1st day.
Zelena 3rd princess and the 5th prince Alan are in my magic class and homeroom. I and Zelena ice breaker was a homework assignment we were magic partners in class. It was pretty hard to construct a new basic spell. We had 3 days we each did our own research 1st. Came up with a writing spell allows you to write a spell to activate it she called it to script magic. I came up with an instant transport spells for objects so we combined them. We tested out the spell 2 ways 1 we right spell activate we tried summoning spell 1st and the object appears we got the highest grade in the class. Usually, basic spells require complicated word speech memorization or prepared magic symbols but all that erased with just writing what you want to happen and thinking about it. The 2nd way was to activate a spell we used with a cleaning spell. You write the word clean on the object you want or in the room then visualized it being clean and done. The script can mow be adapted to any spell once you enchant your hand or writing utensil. I always thought that the ignition of a spell took too long to cast me was figuring how to cast faster this one is but writing in the air. Our spell Made into the history book we got merit and commendation. We spent a lot of time coming up with the multipurpose spell at each other houses that's how we got closer with each other and our families and learned of our circumstances this brought us closer and started our friendship out honest conversation this is when she told me about her birth mother. The School works on a merit system no money and status to don't matter. This is how school further its knowledge and gives out merits. The more merits you have the richer you are on campus it can be traded in for anything or used to buy anything from academy stores and anything else available on campus.
Let me introduce you to the gang Emma is a pale-faced girl with golden hair, cute brown eyes, and a solid frame with a heart face she adorable with a personality to match. She always where light color and fun clothes her sister design for her. Emma has a shy introverted personality but to those, she trust she’s bubbly and cute character and whenever her friends are in danger she the 1st one out the door she become much more mature over the years.

Alfred was curly blonde prim proper and preppy type personality with Carmel skin light brown eyes he just looked as mal would put it delectable. Zelena was purl skin with orange-red hair curly and slender build with an oval face and sparkly green eye you could get lost in she had fiery temper and personality and fierce all arounder she always wears green and black she either gives off a crazy, fierce, or calm vibe about her. Regina, i was told I am average height people say I give off a sexy sir about me different from mal more tamed and dangerous like rubies I have a curvy frame with a heart face and jet black straight hair soft shiny you could run your hands through I ranged from colored to dark clothes only light if I have too. i have a picky personality i am introverted but not shy i get annoyed and vary easily a temper very focused on my goal anyone or thing in my way will be mowed down with prodigious and a strong supporter of my supporter's friends family etc.
I and my friends have split down the middle we are prodigies in our field with varying attributes so we have a lot of elements. My elements are water, air, dark, light, and nature meaning I can perform 2 different kinds of storm magic because I can use darkness instead of. When I discovered this was told to keep my true abilities under wraps with my magic capacity. Only my mentors and my family know because a lot of nobles would want to recruit me into their family proposal or as an advisor only helping them with concern for my wants. Royalty and nobles will want my powers and I could be used for things am not ready for from evil to good and all in between for their own purposes and I didn't want the headache to get involved in noble and royal politics is not for me. I don't have the temperament to be under anyone's command I wouldn't give a dam and probably shoot my mouth off every chance and screw them over whenever i feel like it or they get on my nerves. This would get me, my family, and my friends in trouble because i tend to have a dark streak once i go down the rabbit hole concocting plans of revenge nobody can stop me petty or not. All my other friends may not have as many elements but they specialize in their own fields. Ruby only has 2 elements water and fire which are great for her knight training which makes top in combat skill. Alfred has a small capacity and 1 element wind. The only multi-attribute in our year was me, Zelana she had light, earth, fire, nature, and water, and unfortunately, Cruella has the same as her except she had dark instead of light. I never knew I had such a temper until I made friends and enemies the feeling you get when you have someone to protect and defeat is indescribable honestly anything that doesn't concern my family I have no interest in unless it about my work or new discovery.
People in the Crown races were announced since they entered the academy because they were held to the higher standard. These students are to be on lookout for and watched observed our potential future queens. Her rivals for the thrown being 3rd princess, Zelana Aurias literature& law with basic magic and the 1st princess Ruby Aurias in and knight and magic major. They're both in heiress major for the thrown in the royal academy. Cruella 4ht princess science magic research and heiress majors. The 3rd princess Ursula abdicated her right, being a genius, and all she focused on her own business and being financial advisor and treasury holder of the kingdom.
I remember my 1st outdoor investigation homework assignment I set up a monitor with a communication device that can monitor and see everything I see, the device I embedded into the magic armor crystal made for me for my exploration,. I told my friends that this secrecy research project about the draining Emma volunteered because she was worried and she thinks her magic will come in handy, maleficent wanted free open skies to testing her transformation magic and flighty magic ruby and Zelana had heiress course so they couldn't come but they did come and check in with my teacher they were working out of their private lab on campus. Alan said he'd be a hindrance if he came so he just helped me pack and prepare. Robin decides to come along to practice his stealth skill he would always be out of view unless needed throughout the trip. So 4 person squad I gave them all my 2nd prototype of the force field and they brought their own armor and supplies. Everything was stored in my magical storage ring along with camping equipment. I was searching for a magical beast, I'd just made a breakthrough since I discovered in the lab that magical beast connection to the draining I needed a magical beast specimen in variety to test out my current hypothesis in the cure id just ruled out Emma healing magic as an ingredient it and light magic but it can be used to purify not cure disease to complex that's my new hypothesis and I need more life and variety specimen more than what I can pay hunters to get me. We're now in our 5th year at the academy were all certified in fighting or know the basic to protect ourselves it's a required class considering the kingdoms beast problems so now the perfect time. This trip lasted a week on the outskirts of the border. we ended up in a cave with was magic stone a paradise they were all buried under a hop spring we found a treasure that hadn’t been discovered yet at least not by humans all springs known have a symbol of coat of arms for kingdom embedded in it I saw none Mall suggested we take a soak I was about to agree when a large beast roar echoed throughout the cave we could hear it approach startling us we all got into position ready to fight it was a winged lion with snake tail a chimera this is the beast I needed a rare, it seems that this cave is its home so were the intruders but if I want this excursion to be success with no casualties were taking everything I gave mal the signal we charged it was long battle Emma got Bit, Mal arm was broken but we defeated it I got my specimen and we all chipped in to but the spring from the crown and we didn't tell them about the magic stone deposit we use that for our own cultivation. Emma healed herself and Mal and we all enjoyed the rest of the hot springs trip Zelana and Ruby were super jealous when we got back.
1st day of magic. The class explains stages or levels and how to increase your power. My very 1st magic class was basically an exposition and the 1st day I met my future mentors we wouldn't get close until I started my research classes in my 3rd year ahead of schedule because I was a prodigy of science and magic. My magic teacher from start to finish was Miss Shelby Bella she was high born noble leading and a pillar of the magic community a high tier mage. She explained magic as such there are 3 stages low mind and high tier within each stage there are multiple levels and depending on your magic capacity, attribute to which element and your ability (natural talent) to use it could take you 5-50 levels to reach from one tier to another is always the more levels you have the more complex your magic becomes the least amount of level the more simple and powerful your magic is. You can be specialized with a lot level but not a lot of power or more power but not a lot of complexity. I started off being all power, not a lot level that was until I got deep into my science and magic research creating new spells and inventions which lead to me developing a nice balance between both. You can use your merit to buy supplies to cultivate like magic stones and potions and access to the springs. In the courtyard every day the school market sells everything and anything from food to daily necessities. Anyone is allowed to faculty and student vendors as commoners or nobles. The rare stones that are found next to or under our springs and waterways help. Increase and unlock new old and present magic potential. old magic it magic that's went extinct hasn't been seen for a while like holy and healing magic, new magic is a new skill attribute like shadow magic something no one ever heard of and present magic increase of magic you already have. The basic stone is sky spring blue which boosts power or awakens latent magic. When someone having a problem accessing their magic the stones are used to jump-start their engines. The rare stones unlock special abilities like flight or transformation the average person has 2 elements and a special magic ability only they can do or use, they're born with or it's bought for example you might have the same element or attribute but different ways of using it. Stones also unlock new elements compatibility. The elements are known are dark, light, water, earth, fire, air, nature 7 elements in total the average person has compatibilities with 2 over their entire lifetimes genius, and prodigies have up to 4-7 some even develop and cross element the ability to combine elemental spells like storm= water air-light these are weather magician their rare they can produce anything related to a storm example rain lightning thunder tornado tsunami etc.
In later years as you branched off from general studies into your major, we learned about guild for our future careers. The guilds of Aurias are what you join after basic school or graduation from the academy unless you start your own business but you would still need a license from the compatible guild. Their many types of the guild they all provide on the job training for about 1 year before you official member they give you licenses for you own business that keeps track of everything and your status with the guild from money to jobs and rank, they recommend you to other jobs to be hired or you can take out a quest for them you get paid through the guild or the person or job they assign you too you can also out up your own quest. Even commoners can join the guild and climb up the ranks. There are quest boards in every guild lobby with the personal business etc. request with how much each quest is worth and how much it pays. Guild has a merit-based system as well and level of achievement from F to S grade for quantity difficulty and complexity of the quest posted depending on your rank you can only take your rank 1 above and 1 below-ranked quest. If you want an upgrade in rank you have to complete at least 10 quests of your level to customer satisfaction, or take a ranker test held 1 every month by the guild leader and his administrators. Each guild member can be rated and flagged by how you have dealt with a quest from your customer you can get a demerit and from your guild as well for the behavior if you get 15 you're asked to leave the guild the only way to reverse is if you go through the collective guild reformation program to discipline their member back into society and you accept a rank drop. Meaning customers that give you great reviews can give you merit which you can use for special privileges of the guild or you can exchange for money. They have free housing, dinner hall, free open-air hot springs baths, training grounds, and access to healing spring every guild as one. You join the guild by application recommendation or the guild collective test that tells you which guild you're most compatible with. The receptionist takes your information and gives you a guild card that shows you information and accomplishment and merits and demerits. Each card is magically linked to its user and can only be used by that user and the guild to collect money merit and demerit. Thiers are many types of the guild in the kingdom of Aurias Weapon, combat, military, adventure, hunters, cooking& restaurant, merchant (which control the banks), business, medicine, science, research, magic, language books & literature, information, fashion, housing, etc. and guild are still being made today some watch see over smaller and other business under their purview and the guild listen to the government who is ruled by the queen but autonomous. At my graduation ceremony, I was recruited by 3 guilds research science, medicine, and magic guild I also joined all, i later joined the technology guild and I was already in the business with Mal and my mom joined the medicine guild and took over my status license for me especially when we released our new plant discovery during my academies days. It was mainly my mother's discovery she deserved the recognition and beside the cure for the draining I won't be focusing on medicine but if I do make a discovery I will put it under my mother's name. I only joined the business and tech guilds so maleficent could sell my magic inventions made and so I can get paid and be a partner of her business "Mistress of Evil Inc."
The clubs were available in your 1st 3days of every year there intent on recruiting all in the courtyard I joined a sports and transformation club which did all sports depending on the time of year and weather such as archery and equestrian and martial arts. I met Ruby Emma and maleficent in this club. Ruby wanted to learn horseback riding and transformation magic, Emma martial arts defend herself along with Alfred because she wasn't using magic for it, Alfred didn't have enough magic he couldn't depend on it. Then there was the magic animal club Maleficent learned about transformation magic she founded the club because she discovered that every person has a spirit animal not to be confused with familiar who are only compatible with magicians. She finds the animal and creates a spell to transform into that animal at will by tattoo the spell onto her body. Mal animal is a dragon, a ruby's a wolf, Emma's a rabbit and mine was a tiger. We are all learning how to control ourselves and these abilities in either form mal focus on flight magic and ruby and I on our increased senses Emma’s just having fun. Clubs were mandatory to graduate we both magic research club where she studied summoning and flying magic. i also joined the research club and I worked on my magical beast disease prevention and treatment. Mal built a spirit animal magic device in her 2nd year and use that to intrigue and recruit members and it worked on me and ruby we were spelled bound. We all hung out and got to know each other at the club festival and individual parties. At the end of the club festival, their competition for the best showing of skill and most member’s recruited awards are more funds for your clubs. We won for the sports club but lost for the research magic club. Ruby did horseback riding tricks Emma displayed swimming skills and I and ruby did a mock battle, I also did an archery display. Mal won when she turned into a dragon and flew across the court yard's most impressive display. Robin joined a clubs in his 2nd year with Zelana they both had a lot going on at home needed to be figured out and wanted to learn self-defense and stay in shape. Zelana joined the literature with Alfred they loved writing and reading. Robin just joined the sports club he wanted to versatile in all sports he was an athlete and loved it.
Each student has mandatory physical education up to 4years in school the mandatory sport and class everyone must participate and pass is swimming because we are the country of water the amount lakes stream etc. is never-ending. Once you've learned how to swim you can choose any athletic program you want. The academies all looked the same large red and white building with huge fields for sports, long building for classes, and a large courtyard for gathering. It amazed me how Emma could swim but mal couldn’t i think i laugh at her and we got into a big magic fight cause of it and we laughed some more afterward. the big bad sexy dragon lady was afraid of water she told me when she was little she almost drowned she was in a coma for a week i apologized and tutored her in swimming because i was great at it Emma helped to when she swam she just looked so beautiful fish out of the water we called her.
Our first swim class is where we all bonded and became a group because we were put in one class Emma almost drowned because she refused to use magic to stand on the water she was still terrified of herself. Robin saved her with his magic. When she got out she explained her life story and why she is the way she is everyone accepted it and moved on. Ruby was on student council the president so she over sees certain classes this was one of them she tried to crack a joke to relieve the tension and everyone laughed because it wasn't funny and I don't know if they were lighting up the awkwardness or what just happened but everything was fine after. Zelena, robin, Alfred, Emma, Maleficent, and Regina. We became a group if you saw 1 of us the other aren't far behind and with most of us being prodigies in our own fields we all had enemies so we made a system so none of us were alone especially after the 1st Cruella incident and may bell incident with Mal. Mine was the 1st competition I ever had with Cruella who became after this my enemy "Nemesis" in her yes anyway we 1st met in research club coming up with a magic spell or invention most valuable to the populace I beat her by a fraction of a point she was furious I heard about from Zelana when she told me about her life before I thought she was a piece work but watching her harass the judges and through her weight around pissed me off I even pitied her for second because she was all alone but now I don't she's pathetic and she pisses me off. I told her to her face " if your is high and mighty noble why do you need to flex your weight around to beat me it should come naturally with the grace of "Noblesse oblige" if you guys are so much better than us lesser nobles and commoners why don't you have enough skill to win on your own" she turned red and said, " she shouldn't need too" as bigger pedigree should automatically win despite result and effort I said, " that just lazy and pathetic and that's why the queen branching out her academies to all citizens and gender because you high born girl nobles aren't cutting it i mean really are going against the queen because if she said am worth it than i am and who are you to say otherwise daughter of a traitor" she turned white as a ghost when I mentioned Cora and her aunt. All my friend's dog pilled me and backed me up the entire time and hugged me afterward I did apologize to my noble friend in case I insulted them they said if we do our best were not insulted. i apologized to Zelena if I’d offended her she said it fine she had a new mom now that doesn't apply to her. Each of my friends had their own enemies Emma and mal being secret half-sister had Maybell Cruella lackey and Emma’s family and sister. Maybell and Emma sister Serah work new paper club they were the ones who exposed their parents and Emma and Mall real relation to the school that when Emma moved in with Mal and her Dad. Ruby had this girl in her year name Matilda she honorable fighter and ruby rival in all combat training they always place 2nd or third but she doesn't run with Cruella since the slave incident she was actually ruby witness to it all, Zelana and me have Cruella too, and surprise our three golden boys have none except for the girls who want court them they ain't bad to look at after all.
to be continued
