=======================
"It's a bit complicated you see, some members have important roles they have to fulfil. Many of us will lead our people in the future, you could say that we are uh...of royal bloodline. For an example my brother will in the future become the head of our family branch and lead the Gifted people of Laois.
Skye and Peeta will take over their father who is King of the Crystal kingdom, and lead the Elemental people. Taylor is already an Alpha, making him already a leader, who is leading his tribe and pack called the Crescent Moon pack.
Lily is the daughter of a highly respected witch who sits in the Sisters council, that govern over the witches.
Summing it up, many of the members have heavy burdens they carriers and with people watching their every step for faults."
Wow...this people are…
"If Skye's father is a King, does that mean she is a princess!!" I said realizing that fact. Emma started to chuckle at my reaction.
"Technically yes, but she doesn't like it when someone calls her that. In fact, many of us doesn't really like to use our titles, seeing it has a 'hassle', I personally agree with that statement.
I don't like people being kind to me just because of my status or bloodline and I think many of the members agrees with me on that." Emma said while casually putting her hand behind her and looking ahead.
Her eyes held a lonely feeling, wanting to cheer her I changed the topic.
"I didn't know that Taylor were a werewolf and an Alpha at that! But I did suspect him of being something powerful, he really has a strong presence screaming authority."
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you about that didn't I. We didn't know he would show up today. Tay is usually all laid back and unbothered, kinda reminds me of a teddy bear sometimes. He isn't the aggressive type, but that doesn't mean he will just stand by if something happens.
You know Taylor is one of the youngest Alphas in history, he received the title last year beca… oh right I shouldn't really talk about that, he might not like it..." Emma frowned, troubled if she should tell me or not. I didn't want to pry on something that were private and put Em in a tight spot, so I yet again changed the topic.
"So uh Em about the Academy, when you guys talked about it earlier, you all looked like you value that place a lot, why is that" I said genuine interested in knowing the reason. Emma expression changed to a soft one, similar to the one before.
"The Academy for us, is not just a place where we go to learn, it's like a home for us. It's one of the few places where we can be our self and not have to always carry the burden and responsibility our titles. A place where we can breathe out..." Emma said lost in thoughts and with a soft smile playing on her lips. But then suddenly her smile vanished, and she became all serious.
"But that does not mean it's all good, people there tend to become quite...competent and aggressive when their ways is not met. The Academy doesn't discriminate by race or statues, but that does not mean that some student doesn't. You could say the student have their own way to handle things. The school believes in individual freedom, something many takes advantage of, that place has its pros and cons.
And we are here, you should rest for a while seeing that it must have been a lot to take in." Emma said switching from a warning tone to a warm one.
We said our goodbyes and I headed inside, going straight to the bed. I flopped myself onto it feeling all exhausted, it was a bit hard to not think about everything, but after a while I started to drift off, too tired to think about anything.
I woke up from a knock on the door, I yelled a 'come in' while sitting up and fixing myself a bit. I felt so much more refreshed after that nap, looking at the clock I was out for about 3 h. Looking at the door I saw Skye popping her head inside then followed with her body and a tray with food, assuming it's for me.
I could feel my body crave for some nourishment. Giving Skye a smile of appreciation, when she put the tray in front of me. I started to dig into the food, Skye sat with me on the bed, watching the birds fly outside my window.
"Emma said that you dreamt about your sister and that you cried...are you alright? " Skye asked, her eyes filled with sincere.
I paused my eating, feeling the empty spot in my heartache a bit again with the thought of the dream. Even though I said I would trust them, I don't think I can say everything just yet, especially about the key.
"Mm, I'm okay now but it was weird, I was in an unfamiliar location. The place looked deserted, with no contact of anything living and there were this terrifying forest surrounded by darkness.
Then this woman called my name, telling me to be careful and protect myself. It was confusing, I don't know if it was a dream or memory. But one thing for sure is, that I knew that women...like she was someone precious to me." I said with a sight, feeling a bit of gloom now.
"It's sounds like communication dream, it's like a dream but mixed with magic, making it possible for the person who cast the spell to enter for short while. But for the caster to be able to enter the dream he or she must have a near relation with the dreamer. But I'm sure we will soon uncover everything and reunite you with your family." Skye said with a smile.
"Do you think so." I asked hopefully
"I know so, I have already talked, kind of threaten my father to help us. We are only waiting for the documents to be ready and Lily to fix a potion or a spell, then we are all set to go. Oh by the way, the other have already left... they were going to say goodbye, but you were sleeping like The Sleeping Beauty herself." Skye said letting out a laugh.
"Left? Where have they gone?" I said a bit worried and disappointed by not being able to say goodbye.
"Oh they are just preparing for the school start, the one-week break is soon over, so they must all have gone to meet their family or something. Next time you would meet them is at the academy hopefully. Those that are left here is me, you, my stupid brother (who is still out cold) and Lily who is in her lab right now."
"When is the school start?" I asked, wondering when I would meet them again.
"In 3 days or so, you should rest some more. My room is at the far right, just call me if you need help with anything." Skye said while raising to her feet and taking the now empty tray.
*When I finished everything is a mystery.*
We said our goodbyes. I looked out of the window and watched the sun sets over the trees top. When I fell asleep is yet another mystery.
The days passed and it was the day before the school start. I haven't really had any interaction with anyone except Skye and sometimes Lily. When I walked into the lounge(only getting lost twice on the way) I saw smiling Skye. She sprinted at me when I came into the room, hooking her arm with mine while still smiling like a kid. She started to wave a paper inform of me.
"It's finally here, you are now official unofficial my long distance relative Rosari Matthew and is going to take the entrance exam at The Blessed Sword Academy!"
I could feel the excitement to start to bubble inside me to. But before anyone of us could utter another word, the door to the lounge slammed open. A weird fog cover the whole hall and spilled into the room like snakes, making us shiver.
Inside the fog where a monster like silhouette, walking unsteady toward us. We both took a step back in fear. Skye lifted one of her hand toward the beast and ...
