"What did you say? Kage's summoning circle disappears?" Oserius asked with a furrowed eyebrow as he stared at his silver golden snake.
"Yes Master, it just disappeared earlier" one of the elders answered while bowing behind the curtain. Oserius looked at his Anima.
"I don't know, why don't you ask your shadows?" Azure answers through his mind.
"I just did, currently Kage is extremely furious right now."
Oserius heard Azure's laugh.
"I didn't know he would have his time, that arrogant prick"
Oserius couldn't laugh, Azure, Kage, Phoenix, Siren and Irikai are all mythical monsters, they were monsters that were the hardest type to be contracted and summoned. Before, only Azure was contracted but now, another one was contracted. This means a new monster was born, and they didn't know anything about it.

Kage felt kinda bored, as expected his master was extremely naive and weak. He should be happy but remembering that if his master dies, he will also die. He felt angry and wanted to vomit blood. He didn't know that this kid had that much affinity, he thought those small prick shadows that followed her were her anima. So he assumes his affinity is not high.
Looking at the kid who was swinging his sword systematically, his eyes twitched. This kid will die one way or another.
"Yo-you!"
Kage heard her exclaim the moment he left her shadow. Kage stared at her purple innocent eyes, he grimaced.
"You kid, do you want to be strong?" He asked arrogantly
"Yes!" She answer happily
"Does it even mean dying?" He asked
"Yes!"
"Then I'll train you death"

Amelia really felt like dying. It's only been a month but she felt she spent 10 years. Kage fights her using a black sword as if killing her.
"Oh, what should you do? Think! Think of something to survive!"
"My goal is to kill you, do everything to survive even through scheming"

On the top of the hill, a small tranquil house still thrives. In the backyard was two tombs and a minute away from it was a 17 years old Amelia. Her waist length white hair was freely flowing with the wind , she was much taller, as for her body stature, it looked healthy but normal, if someone saw her in the road she looked like a simple town girl. That young Amelia had her eyes closed while four small blobs of magic were gathering around her. In her front was circular ice, in her right was silver, in her left was green and in her back was shadow. The tranquility was shattered when a strong gust of wind went towards Amelia as a black sword sliced towards her, she immediately conjured her swords and fought Kage using different spells. After a while between the two stops, Amelia immediately removes the barrier of the graveyard and house. While the other part of the hill was ruined.
"Kage!" Amelia happily exclaimed, Kage didn't leave the shadow for a month now and said he needed to do something. Kage conjured a small glass globe, inside it was a frozen flower.
"You found it for me?" She asked happily as she ran towards him.
"Thank you!" She said as she looked at the flower adoringly.
"Shut up and use it, I wanted to know its effect" he uttered
Amelia smiles and closes her eyes as absorb all the spirituality of ice from the flower. As she opened her eyes, her purple eyes became light blue as her hair became whiter.
"You jump two levels in your ice affinity" He concluded. "When are you leaving? The next Qualifying exam for High Land of Knowledge is next year, your time is limited." He said
"Do I really need to go there?" She asked
"Don't ask me, your heart is extremely fragile. If I didn't tend to it using my core, you would be dead by now! The Light Mountain Master can heal you, so we needed to go" He said angrily and went back to her shadows.
For a year, Kage trained her tediously. He also throws her in random monsters around the forest and lets her fight them. Amelia couldn't count how many times she was on the brink of death. It was fun though, for her, she also had fun with Kage and sometimes she thought she could just stay here.Hunted some monsters in the forest and came back to this home but last month something happened. Her heart suddenly stopped beating. She knew since she was a kid, something was wrong with her but she just found out now. Kage explained that when she was still a kid, she had a high affinity with three colors and she didn't know how to release it. So it accumulated until that day came while in rage she didn't know how to release all of it and attack the heart, the damage was not that large but everytime she got emotional it got a crack and crack until it broke last month. Luckily, Kage was around and used his core as the last choice. Now all the damage in her heart was continuously being treated by Kage's core but it has a limitation of 2 years.
Amelia stopped her train of thoughts and went inside. She began fixing her things and cleaning the house. She took a bath and wore a simple white dress. She then carries a black bag with her things and wears a black scarf. When she was about to leave a letter came. She opened it.
To my dear Amelia,
I did not hear anything from you last month. Did something happen? We just finished our yearly exam and I ace it. I received the Grimoire two months ago, it's amazing how you were able to learn it in just 2 years. You're more gifted than me, I hope you'll enter the Argia Academy, and I want to help you in the recommendation to enter here. Solitary training is good but you're still young, you need proper guidance. I hope this letter finds you well Amelia. Goodbye.
Sincerely yours Zionlir
Amelia ran again inside the house and got a pen and paper, she almost forgot.
Dear Brother Zion
I once told you before that since I was a kid I have had breathing problems. Last month I found out if I didn't get treated I would die. Right now, I was about to take on a journey for my treatment. This might be the last letter I'll send you. The coordinate I once sent you was the coordinate of my home. When I leave here I wouldnt be able to send or receive your letter. I always wanted to thank you for everything. For not leaving me at the alley that time. You saved me once, I'll someday pay it, but for now I wanted to say goodbye. Brother Zion, thank you and goodbye.
Sincerely, Amelia
