Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

"You got me"

I said to my father

"You're good but it's not enough you need to be good as me or more than me"

My father said with Confidence and a laugh

"I will train more and soon I can beat you and my brother"

I said it with confidence too

"Good anyway I am now hungry what food did you bring?"

Dad asked and he came to the chair where the food was, and I sat next to him and we ate the sandwich that made by mom and after we ate we continued training this time dad trained me in a long-range but dad has no problem with that to me I'm used to archery I perfectly aimed it, it's my favorite

If we have an activity that's what I always use and two knives on my leg and it was dark when we got home and we went straight to the sofa and sat when mom said dinner was ready

(after three weeks)

mom and I are now on the train going to my grandparents because tomorrow is gramps birthday

we are not with my brother and father

but they said they'll be here by tomorrow

by the way, my grandparents want me to play the flute or some musical instruments when I'm there they always listen to me that's why I bring my flute with me

"Khione sweetie, wake up we are here!"

I didn't realize I was asleep so I got up and got out of the train, and this time mom and I are walking going to the city of Witches and Wizards entrance and they are white witches to be exact

you'll still be walking from the train station then you'll have to cross the bridge and a mini forest but before that, you need to pass at the guard who guarded the entrance before you can enter you must have an appointment, pass or invitation

and if you are a witch or wizard you must have a mark or sign that you are one of them they are strict

and the whole city is surrounded by walls and strong barriers, Dark witches are bad but not all except for Professor Sanchez She's nice to me, to us but her twin sister is so evil

Enough of that Evil witch by the way mom told me most of the people who live here is a witch, a white witch and a wizards and this city is huge too but not as huge as the Golden City,

from Green City to the City of Witches and Wizards it takes six hours of travel, so we left the house early earlier

"I missed this place"

I said as we entered the City, they also have a school here a school for witchcraft and wizardry and by the way my Grandmother is a white witch while my Grandfather is a great wizard, I only come here once if there's an occasion

"And I'm sure your grandparents missed you too"

mom said and I just smiled at her and nod

"mom why this City is strict?"

I asked curiously

"For the safety of the people in the City, like what happened in the Golden City weeks ago especially now the dark witches are everywhere we don't know when they will move ot they will attack"

mom said

by the way when gramps found out that I don't have special abilities they enrolled me at the school of witchcraft and wizardry I was too young at that time but enough to understand everything But later on dad took me and sent me to school there near our house until now and he trained me well like my older brother Zayne

And now I am accelerated, yesterday is our exam and my daily training with my father is turns out well and now I'm ready to take some mission by the way mom and I were walking inside the city and after a while we stopped in front of the big gate and granny greeted us and hugged me immediately and she kissed my forehead

"My sweet grandchild I missed you"

Granny said and let go of me

"I missed you too granny, and where's gramps?"

I asked granny

"she is preparing food now because we know you are definitely hungry you have traveled long, come let's go there now"

granny said, and then after we ate lunch gramps and granny requested if I could play any instruments and I couldn't say no so I played for them, and then I went with my mother to buy ingredients at the night market, The sun was setting when we left gramps' house, and mom and I passed by the shop where you can buy your own wand, and I already have a wand it's in their gramps' house, because that's one of the requirements when you enter their school here, and I also know some spells but not that good gramps taught me other spells that I could use but I haven't mastered them all anyway a lot of people here, I just followed mom while carrying a bag filled with what mom and I bought

after we shopped we went home, it was night and after dinner mom told me that they would take care of cooking and preparing for tomorrow so I just went to my room, I used to live here so I have my own room here, I would have gone to bed with a knock and gramps came in

"How are you our Star?"

gramps asked and walked to the terrace of my room he looked around there before he closed it, gramps and granny called me star because they said I was their star the only girl of all their grandchild, because all my cousins are all boys

"I'm okay gramps and I accelerated starting next week, I'll be able to receive a mission"

I said and he nodded as he came back and sat down next to me

"Your dad trained you will, that's good and you did great too you're really my granddaughter"

gramps said and I smiled at gramps then I hugged him

"thanks gramps anyway I want to give you something" I said and took a picture frame from my bag with the picture of me, granny and gramps that I drew that, we were eating ice cream when I was still here "This is my birthday gift for you It would have been tomorrow but I want to give it to you right now"

"Wow, you made this?"

I just nodded at him I just draw our picture because I can't think of another gift

"I will also give you something, Star, take care of it, hide it and don't lose it. this is very important to me and to your granny, but I trusted you to keep that for us"

He gave me a ring with a small purple stone it looks simple but it's beautiful

"Wear that when you are on a mission, it will keep you safe"

gramps said and smile at me

The Next Morning

it's gramps' birthday by the way gramps and granny are a professor of witchcraft and wizardry academy

we are already preparing because gramps' guests are coming but I have this feeling that I am nervous

"Sweetie are you okay? your grandfather sees you as if you are restless"

mom said and I looked at gramps he just winked at me and I just smiled at him

"Nothing mom, maybe I'm just not used to this party"

I just answered mom and gramps' guests have arrived, gramps invited many guests and gramps' birthday was celebrated at their house, and it's okay because this place was big

everyone is here even my cousins, the party started and I was just standing in front of the chocolate fountain, I'm eating but of course just tasting first, gramps started talking when the light suddenly went out
