'it is a secret for me to know and for you to find out'
Headmistress Amrea wouldn't tell me the reason behind this bracelet, and if I even try asking my mother, she would end up saying the same thing, so the best option is to find out about it by myself.
In the meantime, I must focus on the duel that would be held, five days from now.
"Cousin..."
I turned around and saw Rovina following behind me
"Rovina, did Cousin Sal already dismissed you and mr. Revis?"
"yes, just a minute ago"
I nod in reply then continued walking, heading to the dormitory
"um, cousin can I tell you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"When me and the ruby-haired were heading to the student council's room, I noticed some students from another kingdom whispering or rather, talking a bit loudly..."
"I heard one saying, that you sound so desperate on challenging the vampire prince just for the rankings and that, why can't our kingdom be second for once since we've been 1st from the beginning of the ranking system..." she continues.
"what are you trying to imply, Rovina?" I asked her
"what I am saying is that we can just catch up, can't we? I mean you're literally one of the smartest students here in Stoneix, we can just catch up...but if you're worried that we won't be able to get extra points and give it to the Elementians in spectre...then our kingdom can be second for once, just this year, afterall, next school year, Salvage will be going to school in Spectre University and could bring the Elementians there back to rank one, and we can focus on our rank and points here in Stoneix"
"I know what you mean Rovina, it's just...I know that in the eyes of the other students, what I'm doing is pointless or rather childish and that I am desperate, but everything has a reason, you know me, I do things and act rashly for a reason"
"then tell me what's the reason, so that I can understand, I'm your cousin, you can tell me everything" she told me with a concern look
I don't want to tell her the reason to why I am desperate in bringing our kingdom back to rank 1 and gain extra points, because I know 'the reason' might hurt her, but I also realize that one day she will find out about this and will blame herself more to why she learned about it so late and that she could have helped me go through it, so I guess it's better to tell her now.
"okay I'll tell you, but not here"
'división de elementos'
My Earth, Fire, water and lightning elements directly went out of my body, looking like my mom having quintuplets.
"Ria, what are you doing" My cousin asked looking confused
'viento dividido'
And with that my wind element went out of my body, which made me unlock my hidden-powers, and change the color of my eyes and hair
"I- Why'd you do that!? someone might see you and find out about your hidden prowess!?" she looked at me with a worried expression
"Just trust me with this okay? and this will be a faster way to reach the location and to understand the reason"
'fusión de cinco elementos'
And with that, my 5 elements fused into one, looking like my original body
"I- you can do that?" she asked with a surprised expression
"yeah, I learned it, not too long ago, but this will only be effective for only one hour" Then I directly faced on my elements, I didn't call them my clones, because they aren't, they are more of like a spirit within me and forming my body, and also, they have a mind on there own.
"Master, this form will only last to one hour" my elements told me
"I know, so by then, just stay in the dormitory and pretend that I am actually really there and your fused within me okay?"
"okay master" And with that my elements hedded to the dormitory, and then I directly grab Rovina and we teleported in a forbidden place where deep information and secrets of our world, Enchantia, are hidden.

"what is this place?" she asked confused
"This is the forbidden library in the old nation of the Reapers" I explained to her calmly
"did you just say forbidden library in the old nation of reapers!?"
"yes"
"b-but how!? the library is forbidden, and no one but those people with a blood or half-blood of a reaper can only enter!?" she told me looking confused
"And the reaper's kingdom is literally hard to find, because it keeps on appearing and disappearing in the old nation" she continued
"Rovina, calm down okay, and to answer your questions, first, my father used to be the prince of reapers remember? and when his kingdom disappeared, he didn't disappear with them because my mom placed an unknown spell on him, that is only valid for 6 years. Second, I memorized the pattern on when the kingdom appears" I explained
"oh, yeah you are a half-blooded, but me!? My mom is pure Elementian"
"does aunt Freya tells you about your dad or something?"
"Not that much, she just told me that his a strong man who is dedicated to his kingdom and loves his family and cousin so much but suddenly...disappeared with his cousin a year after I was born..." she suddenly look dumbfouded
"disappeared...cousin...oh my, what if my father is the cousin of your father who is also a reaper and I am a half-blood that is why I am here??"
"Yeah, that is a possibility...wait Rove, we are going off topic"
"oh yeah, so why did you bring me here, and what is the reason?"
"I brought you here, because the books here, tells us the answer of our questions, did you remember the time, when you accidentally found out my 7th powers?"
"yes"
"before that happened, I went in my moms bedroom, because I wanted to place a surprise gift for her, that time was her birthday, but I accidentally tripped and saw an odd looking box under her bed, because of my curiosity I pulled the box out of the bed and opened it, it opened easily for me because it only needed to be touched by someone who can control five elements, which is me and my mom. When I opened the box, there I saw pictures of the old kingdom of the reapers, in here, my mom and dad and library, and to skip to the point, that time I also accidentally unlock my 7th powers and teleported to this place" I explained
"how about 'the reason'?"
"when I came here, I saw a book that's called "the curse of kingdoms" I read it and saw Elementia was with them..."
"w-what do you mean??"
"the reason why I am very desperate on letting our kingdom stay to the first rank in the whole Enchantia is because of the curse..." I looked at her worriedly and hesitated to continue
"Ria, just continue and please stop holding back"
"the curse is if our kingdom won't be on the same rank as 2000 years ago, then our kingdom will disappear into space and that we won't exist anymore.."
