Everyone took a seat on the 2 sofas, "Ally, I assume you have read the book we give you?"
Alyssa Ruan nodded her head, "Alright, you are wondering why we didn't adopt or foster you when your parents pass you to us?"
Alyssa Ruan again nod. "The reason we didn't adopt or foster you was that we can't. As you know about Singapore law, orphan children are needed to be checked whether are they a citizen of the country and do they have living relatives? As your mother is from England and while your father's father is from China, so you are not a citizen here. And moreover, the authorities question us about you when we bring you in."
"Even if we want to adopt or foster you, our income was not high enough at that time to care for 3 children, especially 1 that is not our blood. The authorities rejected us, so we have no choice but to let you be foster by another couple. We have used our elements to check on you as we have promised to your parents and as our goddaughter, but fate has you being friends with our daughter." Leanna Wang finishes explaining.
Alyssa Ruan look over at Rosangela Wang and thought, "So my friendship with Rose is all plan from the start?"
Leanna Ng saw the glance, "Ally, we can swear to you this that your meeting with our daughter is not planned at all. After we hand you over to the social workers, we have no contact with you but only watch from afar. We don't know what your foster parents' plans or what schools you go to when you are growing up. When we place Rose in primary school, we did not expect you to be in there and it was a surprise she befriended you even we never told her about your past until last year."
"It's true. Remember last year when I had a huge fight with my parents. Well, that fight was about me telling you about your past. They have forbidden me to tell you. You know we tell each other everything. I have already unable to mention the elemental powers and I felt guilty. Then added another secret that is about you, I feel like I have done you wrong." Rosangela Wang piped in.
Randall Wang added, "Sister Ally, me and big sis only know we have a royal family looking after us and all the people with element powers, and we also know that the Royal Princess is in hiding. Our parents never told us the Princess name until last year."
"I knew it when I was assigned to go to the kingdom for training. When I found out I was shocked, and I question my parents about it when I come home for the holiday. They told me about what they have done and ask me to keep it to myself until it's time for your powers to appear." Alyssa Ruan can tell that Ryker Wang is telling the truth.
Alyssa Ruan took a deep breath before replying, "I understand. I'm wondering, after my friendship with Rose is form and I see you guys interact with my foster parents, do they know about my history?"
Marvin shook his head, "I'm not sure. There are things they do let us know that they may seem to know but they never mention it. Maybe they think we are a normal family."
"We don't mention our power to people. Someone once did that in the past and it caused a huge uproar. Several people die regardless if they have power or not. It was called the Salem Witch Trial." Leanna explains.
Alyssa Ruan blinks at that answer. If telling the world, you have power, it will go two different ways.
Like movies or stories of someone having power, one side is people will worship you and another side is you become an outcast afraid of being a test subject in this time period.
"Okay. Another question, how is it possible for those who have the power to come back to earth? Are there portals around the world? I thought King Njeir Tywsan is the only one who can create a portal between the two worlds."
This time it was Ryker Wang who explained, "It started from King Njeir's sister. A few years after they have migrated to the Melesent, Princess Esi was bored of life there. So, she begged her brother to let her go back to Earth to explore. At first, her brother doesn't give in for her safety and afraid of another evil threat befalls on her."
"After her relentless begging, In the end, he let her go. With that, he wanted her to return occasionally but doesn't want any evil to enter Melesent if it comes. So, he with another two more people who hold light and darkness each to create a portal between both worlds. The first portal works, normal people with evil intention can't enter and vice verses with any elemental people turn evil."
Leanna Ng speaks up, "It was Princess Esi found people with elemental powers during her travels. The people using those power was a small amount that they did not realize it. When she told her brother, it makes King Njeir think that maybe they were from the first ancestors' family-like cousins or siblings. In order to protect those people, he asked some of the citizens of Melesent, who are called 'Elementa', to follow Princess Esi to request them to come to Melesent to harness their power. The majority of them agree but some like their life on Earth that they remain behind."
"On some occasions, if a normal person passed their 21st age, their power will appear. We do have a big number of people from Melesent on Earth to help those people either controlling their power or harness into strong use. By controlling, they can continue their life on earth, while if wanting to harness it, they need to go Melesent to train before they come back to Earth if they choose to. I am one of the people on the lookout for the powers that appear. How we find the new elemental people is via the element they use. Like for me, if anyone uses fire, I can sense and look for them via the element to give them 2 options to choose. But unless they are cover within a family with element powers, we can skip them off as their family can prepare them." Marvin Wang stated.
"When people decide to go to Melesent for training, it takes about five years. I have just finished my third year, so when October hits, I'm going into my fourth year. Melesent Training batches are in every quarterly. As this month is September, you will enter in the October batch." Ryker Wang said.
"But if she goes, she will be in danger of that masked guy. Ally needs a disguise."
