Academy Of The Primavera
Three o'clock in the afternoon
I was completely confused, honestly she is about to explode on her nerves ... I was sitting in the middle of a large office, in front of me was a beautiful woman of forty years or so, she was looking at me with clear anger, and to top it off Behind Of me, there was a boy, who seemed to be my age, although I observed him briefly when he entered, he had a hard and cold expression that caused me a strange feeling, as if my heart was heavy. me down, it was strange.
The two exchanged glances a couple of times ... while protesting this stranger's orders.
five minutes before
Before I could knock on the door of the Academy, a woman opened them wide, it startled me that I jumped back, the woman was tall with long dark hair, she looked like a young woman ... She called me by my name with a warm voice -which surprised me so much that my eyes widened-
- Are you Sofía Celeste Leal, right? - I nodded - Come in, don't stay there, the Director has been waiting for you - She invited me in ... I accepted, - Distrustful, I followed her through the long black marble corridors in silence, trying to think about the options that they could take "me" to walk with a woman I never saw in my life through the corridors of an academy that seemed to be located nowhere, instead of sitting in one of the seats of the plane that was going to take me to Spain, where Lucia would receive me ...
Whatever happens, I can't find a coherent answer
There is no logic for this ... I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I had not realized that we had already entered a room, it looked like an office ... and not an ordinary office, but one of those offices that are in the highest point of a famous and expensive building.
A beautiful woman was sitting on a red seat behind the desk, her gaze was fixed and it caused me shivers that dispersed throughout my body, she felt very strange, however her face was somewhat familiar, I had the feeling that I had seen her somewhere else ...
The woman accompanying me moved a little closer to the woman at the desk, they both looked into each other's eyes before exchanging a word.
- Lady Ariadna, the young lady you mentioned before arrived, I will leave her with you, Permission, I'm going - said the brunette next to me, she turned towards the exit but before she gave me a warm look and whispered - I hope to see you soon in class, miss Leal - after that she left and I was alone with another woman I did not know, next to me she held tightly my travel bag
- Sit down - she ordered, her voice was authoritative, the truth is that her voice had that tone that the military use to give orders to their soldiers, a firm and authoritative tone of voice
I obeyed, I pressed my lips together as soon as I sat down, she signed papers with a pen, the ink that came out was black, she marked the papers with a round red stamp, I couldn't make out the design or the word on the stamp ...
That silence was so uncomfortable, my throat was dry with nerves, I opened my mouth to ask a couple of times but closed it because I could not formulate a word without hesitating or stuttering.
Why was it so difficult for me to talk to this woman?
His hands stopped in an instant, all the paperwork that was on the desk was arranged inside multiple binders on the side, and in his hands, his long, slender fingers were holding a large and long paper, he read it carefully and calmly, while I looked at her, then her gaze and mine crossed and the chill I felt earlier came back, I looked down quickly and suddenly she started talking to me.
"Sofia, right?" I nodded and raised my face to see her, I didn't want to look like a scared child. "Your name is Sofia Leal, right?" The woman asked, I looked up slowly, still avoiding seeing her eyes.
- Celeste - I whispered
- What? - she exclaimed puzzled
- Only Celeste, no one calls me Sofia in my family except my dad, nobody else does, I am Celeste for everyone.- I answered and my voice regained strength with each word
- Sorry, in your report it says that your name is Sofia, so I thought they called you by your first name
so just Celeste, right? - I nodded
She smiled and the atmosphere turned warm when she did ... I could see her eyes without feeling chills this time, I felt a weight release from my body.
-Well Celeste, I did not introduce myself well, my name is Ariadna De La Primavera, I am Lady Ariadna for everyone here, I am the director of this Academy, although I do not come very often for my work, but the vice-director is in charge of almost everything and He tells me, but hey, I wanted to talk to you about why you are here. -the last thing I remarked raising my voice
- I know it will seem strange to you, even totally unexpected but, finger I inform you that from today you must stay at the Academy, - he said it so directly that it surprised me - you will live here, you will study here, and all that until ... -
- Because, I should be on a plane heading to Spain right now, I shouldn't even be here, in fact I don't even think this is REAL, it's just a DREAM, if it's exactly a dream, since I felt horrible before Boarding the plane, probably now I passed out in the airport bathroom.- I blurted out suddenly, and so quickly that I was relieved to do so. However, Mrs. Ariadna was laughing out loud, I was frowning with anger, in fact I didn't think something like this could happen to me, a similar idea never, never crossed my mind ...
Of course, when I saw the Harry Potter movies, I loved them, and I thought that like any fan who joined me I liked being in a wizarding world like Harry, but I don't know if it was my mistrust or my reluctance to accept what this woman was about me. saying ...
The lights I saw on the bathroom floor ... They were ... Real.
No, no, I still don't think so, because they would bring me here in the first place, what do I have to do with this.
- W-why do I have to stay here? - I asked
Mrs. Ariadna had stopped laughing a few seconds ago, the expression on her face turned cold, almost expressionless.
-You see, I know that for you none of this makes sense, but the truth is that for us it does not make sense either.- Suddenly he got up from his seat and started walking through his office, there were photos, books and books, it was very beautiful instinctively I followed her on her way, I kept my distance from her, but she was still close. "We are ANCESTRALES," he explained.
I raised my eyebrows - Let's see let me guess a Magic Ancient Race - I said sarcastically
- Yes, exactly, we are an Old Race, but we are a powerful Race with centuries of power in our hands.
My jaw dropped, I didn't think I'd get that answer, but it sounded sincere, it kept telling the story of the Ancestors or ancestors ... Well, their race or whatever.
- For centuries, since the beginning in Vidalya, our planet, the Ancestral Ones have overcome many things, we have sacrificed what we love most to continue our existence.
... And most importantly, to continue maintaining control, do you know this beautiful place, the Academy was founded by the Younger Son of the Founder of my Family, while here you can listen to the stories, My Family is very Famous,? But as I said, our predecessors were incredible, they were the first to discover our power, and they discovered the reason for our existence ... We are the Race that sits on top of the throne for more than four thousand years, we protect ours. and we create laws that maintain order throughout the world ... We, the Ancestors, are the Race with the most population in the world, - he said it with pride, it was evident in his voice - there are also other races, of course, but they are ... A little problematic, because they still do not believe that they are trustworthy, but we reached Coexistence Agreements with them, we even let them enter the city to stay for a while or for tourism. Things have always been this way since the people decided that my family would take control of our land, by doing so we managed to seal the Demons, destroy their faithful followers and servants, but they always returned, then The Spring Academy Se Fun Haz to train, equip and master the magic that We carry in our blood, that's how the first Terminators began, Killing the Creatures of the Underground Kingdom, destroying any threat, and protecting the Ancestral, even today there are threats that seek to destroy us, Celeste, You are not ordinary, in my opinion you are unique - He turned in my direction, his blue eyes stared at me, the next words that came out of his mouth hit me in the depths of my mind, my soul - You are an Ancestral.-
- WHAT? -
