The Sun shined upon the Earth, its rays glistening off of the windows of the large Academy below. Annika hovered above the school with a large, silver, sword placed infront of her body with its blade facing the ground. She placed both hands on the round pommel of its hilt. The Firsts had been ordered to protect the Academy from outsiders such as Amaris' Ward, or Anonas and Lin. Agatha felt her presence the moment she stepped into the Abandoned realm, which Anonas purposefully released out of spite. Agatha glanced at Iria, who remained by her side despite knowing her real identity. She followed Iria's intent gaze to Amaris sitting on a bench next to Alice in the courtyard below. Iria frowned slightly at the sight, she glanced at Agatha from the corner of her eye. She had sensed the imposter's eyes piercing through the side of her head. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAgdSxBXxDbr
172Please respect copyright.PENANAgQU1kBzHrb
172Please respect copyright.PENANAhKGiR1ZiCg
"Why are you watching Amaris?" Agatha unintentionally wondered aloud before covering her mouth. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAIXLAcClnbE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAZEVfdECRnT
172Please respect copyright.PENANApumD07Pij7
Iria looked her up and down in disgust, "I must be going, Agatha," she walked towards the door, "I have important matters to attend to." 172Please respect copyright.PENANA4up0GFAbaR
172Please respect copyright.PENANAUxdQOAQrFI
172Please respect copyright.PENANA60w2YanBqO
Agatha rolled her eyes when she turned her back to her, "Yes, of course, have a nice day." She looked through the window.172Please respect copyright.PENANASeJu4ObQTK
172Please respect copyright.PENANAjRjATX0RQt
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEU3hj2MclM
Her eyes traveled from Amaris to Alice then to Hanako, she couldn't help but pity the poor girls. For they had to experience an unimagineable suffering of fates that only benefitted the Gods of Time.172Please respect copyright.PENANACoE2QjR79C
172Please respect copyright.PENANAZrAT8cGZSa
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEF33Ou3Gf0
Alice glanced at Amaris, "Why are you sitting by me?" She questioned in annoyance with an unopened leather book placed in her lap.172Please respect copyright.PENANAw00rnB5Tyw
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ4JNlXEl7
172Please respect copyright.PENANALMo0edudJG
"I am waiting for Iria." Amaris chimed as her eyes scanned the courtyard for the Goddess of Spite. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAAnU71JBsm0
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPfZPwbaOXG
172Please respect copyright.PENANAU7SayLdkud
Amaris noticed the book in her lap, what an odd development in Tempus' schemes she thought to herself. The book came from deep within Tartaros, but how did Agatha retrieve it from its depths? Why did Alice now have the Anonas Book of a Thousand Creations?172Please respect copyright.PENANARjD8KPDh8M
172Please respect copyright.PENANAzMRjhtx3ee
172Please respect copyright.PENANAYj09JZPrOJ
Alice scoffed, "Please, she does not like you. She most likely believes that you are a complete and utter idiot." She mused.172Please respect copyright.PENANA9RF2qBLT7l
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9DvzFYSFg
172Please respect copyright.PENANAo8RgwfIC6g
Amaris hummed to herself, focusing her attention back to finding Iria, "I heard she needed an extra member for her little science club." She stated happily with a mischevious grin.172Please respect copyright.PENANA29gkuB63bv
172Please respect copyright.PENANAlSFtDdbbXm
172Please respect copyright.PENANASOW66s8nWd
"Why are you joining? I did not know the almighty Amaris liked advanced chemistry." Alice retorted as she looked up at Annika floating above the courtyard.172Please respect copyright.PENANA7SvQGbPUCM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAuJRLvcVjRD
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQT6N7FXmJl
"I do not have to take a normal science class if I join Iria's physics club." Amaris smirked.172Please respect copyright.PENANAoIbHmGFTGt
172Please respect copyright.PENANANtG4dSo2Xt
172Please respect copyright.PENANA5If3jZXa9C
Alice pinched the bridge of her nose, "Chemistry, Amaris." She groaned in annoyance.172Please respect copyright.PENANABLAMHGwPNN
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGfuyKY33B5
172Please respect copyright.PENANAJgDuSI7iOL
Amaris immediately turned her head to the direction Iria was in, "Well, then I'm off, Tempus child. Do not get caught staring too much, I hear humans are easily angered by such actions." She patted her on the shoulder before disappearing and appearing inches away from Iria.172Please respect copyright.PENANAX6IPGR4Ezo
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxcYCeyW9z4
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGwWvPnrlgX
Iria turned on her heel to walk in the different direction, "No." She stated firmly.172Please respect copyright.PENANANaH8sYRgMc
172Please respect copyright.PENANAUTlS682XOK
172Please respect copyright.PENANAh3AvIHlgX0
Amaris grabbed the back of her collar to stop her from walking further, "I want to join your geometry club, Goddess of Spite." She replied with an innocent expression.172Please respect copyright.PENANAC69c2OlWk0
172Please respect copyright.PENANAiJTSY4vjds
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4zGVz1ok79
Iria slowly glanced over her shoulder, "Chemistry, Amaris." She corrected her.172Please respect copyright.PENANAhGM1SEBOCD
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4OFhRHDiby
172Please respect copyright.PENANAJPIPjlKQxl
Amaris laughed as she released her, "Please, I will listen to you for 30 days." She suggested.172Please respect copyright.PENANAxEElSSYA1F
172Please respect copyright.PENANANYW1vJWgMs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAJMkvBvvEZe
Iria rolled her eyes, "Are you going to attend our meetings?" She questioned with a blank expression as she folded her arms over her chest.172Please respect copyright.PENANAHE1FW4LGKy
172Please respect copyright.PENANAtRxLwP99FT
172Please respect copyright.PENANArijAUUP4ok
Amaris smiled, "No, probably not. I am unfamiliar with biology. On Andros, such a thing never existed." She watched Iria stand silently for a few moments.172Please respect copyright.PENANAwHQvieJplL
172Please respect copyright.PENANAHu0cw1geA0
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2F1Xna996c
"I am sure you need credits from this, correct?" Iria looked her up and down in annoyance.172Please respect copyright.PENANA9oBiJF32hG
172Please respect copyright.PENANAC0V95zOLgO
172Please respect copyright.PENANAcmzZ8W0Eua

172Please respect copyright.PENANAubU6579TxB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAubEyqlF1wK
Iria sighed, "100 years of obeying my commands." She ordered.172Please respect copyright.PENANA4u8ZxJZYQ9
172Please respect copyright.PENANAvdeRjsI3uU
172Please respect copyright.PENANAdM03oFGteT
Amaris stared at her blankly, "I think I would rather take the science class, I heard it is an exceptionally knowledgeable course taught by a renowned genius from the Normal realm." She declared before walking back to the bench Alice sat on, who looked up from the book she had just begun reading.172Please respect copyright.PENANAUrfqsgKTMv
172Please respect copyright.PENANADxogXs1RCE
172Please respect copyright.PENANACvIsAz5BX0
Iria's face fell when Amaris and Alice started bickering amongst each other about personal space. When did they become close? Like friends? 172Please respect copyright.PENANAoeRmzjXq3u
172Please respect copyright.PENANAbtcwBkf1gl
172Please respect copyright.PENANAVrsQ7r2MXm
Alice stood up from the bench, "You are infuriating me, Amaris." She declared with a scowl.172Please respect copyright.PENANAge5OieYNaE
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4HYSL28K1B
172Please respect copyright.PENANA0kexECKEAg
Amaris leaned back with her legs spread and her arms resting on the back of the bench, "I did nothing!" She refuted loudly, catching Annika's attention for a split second before she was knocked out of the sky by an unknown source.172Please respect copyright.PENANAJFKIlmDU5O
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnaOt1tnQyo
172Please respect copyright.PENANAaKbDydZtqh
Her body crashed into the courtyard, creating a large crater, she slammed her sword into the ground as she stood on her feet. Amaris looked at the circle of golden flames coming forth before her while Wani came crashing down from the sky. Beatrice and Chanmi stepped out from the portal leading to the Normal realm. Amaris waved her hand in front of her face to clear the dust particles floating around her. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAhqeaVexihM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAh9KtMsya4h
172Please respect copyright.PENANARJ4LoghUVS
"Your Majesty, sorry to bother you, but Elam has requested your presence in the Normal realm." Chanmi explained as Alice coughed loudly from all the dust stirred up by Amaris' Ward.172Please respect copyright.PENANAWmYzbBupdK
172Please respect copyright.PENANA1ep3OsuZAQ
172Please respect copyright.PENANADQiOb1prms
"Do I kill this one?!" Wani suddenly yelled while holding up Annika in her right hand with the silver sword she once held pressed against her throat.172Please respect copyright.PENANA8NU89h15te
172Please respect copyright.PENANASE1ftfrbOM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAWcThEbju6t
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice after briefly glaring at Alice, "No, not today!" She yelled back, which made Beatrice hit her. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAu6KECsKGsH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAcT7OIPNZZj
172Please respect copyright.PENANAsNzlxS1j6J

172Please respect copyright.PENANAFMn2y1P21H
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2rlkRQ7dS9
"You are not allowed here." Gik appeared with an annoyed expression as he stood in between Wani and the others.172Please respect copyright.PENANA5cKHEiOJrH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqHDhz27dPE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFwJubvrUvb
"Little boy," Wani's eyes glowed bright with a golden rage, "are you threatening me?" She sneered venomously.172Please respect copyright.PENANAYb8e1tdcYm
172Please respect copyright.PENANAq7RyCtSurr
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqGb5vDLSDR
"I am." A tall male with a large, muscular, body struck Wani in the back with a powerful kick. 172Please respect copyright.PENANARhKg0jsqvH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAsiGzlD7lda
172Please respect copyright.PENANAOTAKrd4CIq
He had built a reputation in the Academy for being a great martial artist, his name was Lee Qiqiang. Agatha brought him to her school to use his unlimited power and speed for handling matters such as these. When Wani and Beatrice had their first unannounced appearance, Qiqiang had been on a mission in the Sahara. Agatha was certain he would not lose to Amaris' Ward during their second attack, although Chanmi posed a threat.172Please respect copyright.PENANAMwGEu6DoaH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAsSlPAyKFUR
172Please respect copyright.PENANAomwHj7INNz
Wani crashed through one of the many pillars in the halls of the courtyard, she slammed into a wall of lockers. Chanmi pulled a silver flask from the air and finished the liqour inside in one gulp. She crushed the flask into a ball before throwing it at Qiqiang's head. He caught it with his right hand before returning it to her at full strength.172Please respect copyright.PENANAAe9XbZcG2q
172Please respect copyright.PENANAA5EpLBQCFR
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4W58cgDmJc
"I have been waiting to slaughter you, miss Goddess of Spite and the Earth's lover." Chanmi growled as they appeared one by one beside Qiqiang.172Please respect copyright.PENANARFJd6tRtM4

172Please respect copyright.PENANACGL8S2VLBM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAo350cC0gaF
"Out of respect for Amaris' mercy, I will allow this disobedience once, Chanmi. Go home." Hanako boomed in a firm voice.172Please respect copyright.PENANAYi1bLEk2tl
172Please respect copyright.PENANAuj9JI460mE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAy4iZANj6iU
Chanmi scoffed, "Mate, you're hurting my feelings. My parents only taught me the basics in Japanese not your dialect." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAQjqzCRJu6m
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxERmGMEnCG
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAeDJvHv1rZ
Iria sighed, "Let us end this quickly." She raised her right hand, facing her palm towards Chanmi before lowering her ring finger.172Please respect copyright.PENANABCuKPKr4ZN
172Please respect copyright.PENANALdq2kcgPvs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAIqzO0kG5E7
Amaris appeared before her, intertwining their fingers to cancel Iria's attack, "Leave the fighting to the kids," she put both Hanako and Iria in head locks under her arms whilst holding Iria's hands," "let us sit back and enjoy the show." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAhB5FvacWPT
172Please respect copyright.PENANAlq63gTmooP
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGcYEdGtSHm
Beatrice sighed, "Amaris, do not decide so one-sidedly. I would love nothing more than to gift you Iria's head." She declared with a smirk as she eyed Iria.172Please respect copyright.PENANA0gXFgbbYWB
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2cdm5nx2UZ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2f1pEwxdc
"Is that so," Amaris glanced at the shorter being, "I must disagree with you, all who are fated alongside me are off limits...Wani, Chanmi." She ordered.172Please respect copyright.PENANANSY7Ua4T0T
172Please respect copyright.PENANABjYqPWO1sx
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEARoGakwWu
Hanako scoffed, "Lau—" She began to speak, but Amaris placed her hand over her mouth to silence.172Please respect copyright.PENANAnP2StkIxYi
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEpWupNjdoV
172Please respect copyright.PENANARtK8bhq5oM
Amaris did not want Iria's failed creation to interfere with the little spat going on before them. It would ruin her entertainment for the day.172Please respect copyright.PENANAK8qmS2p4hE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAKLWMovgpkB
172Please respect copyright.PENANA52lrZUowU1

172Please respect copyright.PENANAd0Rmh2mJFB
172Please respect copyright.PENANASQ2U9yqUCz
She could not contain the excitement flowing through her veins, who was stronger, her Ward or Agatha's Council of Firsts? A battle worth watching on the sidelines; one she could not partake in, simply because it would not be as amusing.172Please respect copyright.PENANAdId4WshcM8
172Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5LT1ypr69
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPvbqeI4ERX
Beatrice unsheathed her whip of golden flames from within her chest, she struck near Gik's head. The thunderous sound of her whip cracking could be heard throughout the forest. A low rumbling ensued once the whip returned to her hands before being released once more. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAtGFQAJdOd2
172Please respect copyright.PENANANFzGxdjV5o
172Please respect copyright.PENANAzs6M3ljRhh
"You are unworthy to wield this power." Gik boomed loudly, causing Amaris to watch him closely.172Please respect copyright.PENANAypcZoNPM33
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAdJcxSGNmE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAS7MAvFtZI
Wani appeared behind him, "You know nothing of what you speak, little boy. Allow me to bless you with a demonstration of this power." She seethed venomously.172Please respect copyright.PENANAPIBRTPSWgb
172Please respect copyright.PENANAz0MGJenCZM
172Please respect copyright.PENANA3j6gKibUdq
A wave of black flames suddenly appeared pushing Wani away from him to put distance between them. Gik commanded his flames to engulf Wani, but the golden flames from Beatrice's whip repelled his. Chanmi appeared before him, stumbling in a drunken state. Qiqiang moved to throw a punch that she caught in her left hand while finishing the malibu sunrise in her right. She broke the tall glass over Qiqiang's head before using a large shard of glass to slice his throat.172Please respect copyright.PENANAKgAiotmkOf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAcfiGiwUGUB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAKc5lsFfPCJ
"The weak will bow before her Majesty." Chanmi declared as her voice boomed throughout the Academy.172Please respect copyright.PENANAVy6pyh8VsV
172Please respect copyright.PENANAkrWIAxWzoh
172Please respect copyright.PENANArCci02Pqsw
Gik grabbed Beatrice's whip before it could strike him, "I prefer weakness over strength, Chanmi. For your strength blinds you from the reality of serving your Queen, you are just a pawn in her schemes." He remarked as he corrupted Beatrice's whip with his own flames. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAAfmDYTjh3L
172Please respect copyright.PENANAOi7Ka3LiRh
172Please respect copyright.PENANAne7zbWDorA
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice, "Pawn...," she grumbled to herself, "more like the King." She retorted with a dark chuckle before kicking him backwards.172Please respect copyright.PENANAyLbNPJdLv6
172Please respect copyright.PENANAE6ED3n7av8
172Please respect copyright.PENANAhfKq4C1CoY
Beatrice chuckled as she appeared beside her, "I must be the knight then?" She wondered aloud as her whip's flames reverted to their original state after a brief increase in their oxygen levels, which caused them to turn white for a moment.172Please respect copyright.PENANAJePT4Jc8na
172Please respect copyright.PENANAuPJ3l8eM9d
172Please respect copyright.PENANAnrvjgWM22L
Annika raised her sword, "No, you are mistaken," she swung at them, "you are the barely used rook from long ago, so now you must be thrown away." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAlZmzm8cE3t
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ3Gv1snUU
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxyyO6DPfwq
Chanmi winced as the air from her missed strikes cut into her skin, "Wani, stop fucking around and kill this bitch!" She yelled while also dodging Gik's horrendous smelling flames that he seemed to be losing control of. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAg8sp47klm8
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2d6swa7AnJ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAMKk1efwQU6
Beatrice wrapped her whip around Annika's neck, "Wani, send her to the Death realm." She ordered with a scowl as she tightened her grip around her neck. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAOsyXpvldIm
172Please respect copyright.PENANAZbofXjm242
172Please respect copyright.PENANAToFmBF35cy
Wani rose to her feet with a blank expression before appearing behind Annika with her fists raised. She summoned her spiked, golden, knuckles to do as Beatrice ordered, but Qiqiang fist collided with the side of her head. His attack sent her flying through the destroyed wall of lockers and into the classroom behind.172Please respect copyright.PENANAwzlRHE8wXo
172Please respect copyright.PENANAslNpRgIhKc
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFeugtMJTQW
Chanmi gasped, "Does this make him a zombie now?" She whispered to Beatrice, who had her whip tore in half by Qiqiang.172Please respect copyright.PENANAlC4OrbseY2

172Please respect copyright.PENANA5TkSAkczjC

172Please respect copyright.PENANATHNRlp2UZp
172Please respect copyright.PENANAZCqi2IP8eK
Amaris hummed while releasing Iria and Hanako, "No, not all. How unkind of you Agatha to keep secrets from me." She looked up at the window Agatha had been watching from.172Please respect copyright.PENANA5crlhQITGl
172Please respect copyright.PENANAaZRGeAgUnR

172Please respect copyright.PENANAZuEJUtNOcZ

Chanmi nodded her head, "How shameful, indeed." She raised her right hand in the air.172Please respect copyright.PENANAwqZUAmU16I
172Please respect copyright.PENANAtWfJkDL3xg
172Please respect copyright.PENANAwO4idx0zYr
"Take a good look in the mirror Agatha's Firsts, we seem to be in awfully similar positions as pawns. Perhaps, we should form a union together." Beatrice feigned a sorrowful expression, which caused Chanmi to chortle.172Please respect copyright.PENANA267Z4L8po4
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFThAkdmBGN
172Please respect copyright.PENANAfVZPCIjtH6
Amaris patted Hanako on the back, "Laura would have destroyed my Ward, well except for Chanmi, but nonetheless I have deemed you all worthy adviseries. I will return momentarily!" She released a horrific heat to subdue them all.172Please respect copyright.PENANAM5JkVZ89pz
172Please respect copyright.PENANAozUb0b4KYf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAhu44XTIC5
Wani fanned herself with her right hand, "Must we endure the same suffering as them?" She questioned when the Firsts and students began to drop like flies.172Please respect copyright.PENANAuXTrHt84A9
