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. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAf1SD5dgKNl
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfUzf6Hmmno
152Please respect copyright.PENANArFpP1HgXLw
"Why are you watching Amaris?" Agatha unintentionally wondered aloud before covering her mouth. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAteUFDvnlis
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ5u2TkIOU
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzt4RUaG35t
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." 152Please respect copyright.PENANASleXZFTRdJ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGodBFI2FPU
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1KJKQsiBQd
Agatha rolled her eyes when she turned her back to her, "Yes, of course, have a nice day." She looked through the window.152Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZNHG9uyUo
152Please respect copyright.PENANAD752eZ1dnT
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzIJHJFwYhA
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAHq3TXxxtyY
152Please respect copyright.PENANANfiOoJ75Q4
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmaEExOBLJV
Alice glanced at Amaris, "Why are you sitting by me?" She questioned in annoyance with an unopened leather book placed in her lap.152Please respect copyright.PENANAWXY54n104P
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiLw66GNbZ2
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0OpxnLxqyg
"I am waiting for Iria." Amaris chimed as her eyes scanned the courtyard for the Goddess of Spite. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAgHh3KF3wei
152Please respect copyright.PENANABpYmOI4VzT
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcd9sQiWGmG
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?152Please respect copyright.PENANACg5pMQbQCv
152Please respect copyright.PENANAj1eEyqoKt3
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nkmj1V0dQ
Alice scoffed, "Please, she does not like you. She most likely believes that you are a complete and utter idiot." She mused.152Please respect copyright.PENANApaKY1ll2Rj
152Please respect copyright.PENANASi2hnZxCmM
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhtrnmZHHTb
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAUgGbL3riee
152Please respect copyright.PENANAesylhvNhaR
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZVEK6FDtZ6
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANATsWYMknGqV
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6ljPNaMCyy
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwz672qXsXD
"I do not have to take a normal science class if I join Iria's physics club." Amaris smirked.152Please respect copyright.PENANAwp6taSAE9Y
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7I5PMQzO8w
152Please respect copyright.PENANAM9XcnIakAL
Alice pinched the bridge of her nose, "Chemistry, Amaris." She groaned in annoyance.152Please respect copyright.PENANAWgxVX16P9V
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwszeVVRs7L
152Please respect copyright.PENANAk9zH9HDzWI
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAdDtqNrWIXd
152Please respect copyright.PENANANbeAJvZDwa
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsyAKVyepnx
Iria turned on her heel to walk in the different direction, "No." She stated firmly.152Please respect copyright.PENANALqttHAWjk6
152Please respect copyright.PENANAeUIAjxjIuQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqkO9jASUT9
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAWRPFkoXXIQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAF5IX9W9Ciz
152Please respect copyright.PENANACY24CfTfOF
Iria slowly glanced over her shoulder, "Chemistry, Amaris." She corrected her.152Please respect copyright.PENANAroyN2upbHY
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2XsFX7fNft
152Please respect copyright.PENANAa99C3ohfhX
Amaris laughed as she released her, "Please, I will listen to you for 30 days." She suggested.152Please respect copyright.PENANAYRLohbHHZC
152Please respect copyright.PENANAs8mgpJcHC1
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqHvLMIPvlf
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAh1iHhoENJn
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2cYkgHbyt7
152Please respect copyright.PENANAU8PTVFKQ5V
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAweWCIjoJth
152Please respect copyright.PENANAN38l2bQuMT
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqGQU2mRozI
"I am sure you need credits from this, correct?" Iria looked her up and down in annoyance.152Please respect copyright.PENANAlc9Wx4MnpE
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUyaGv608TU
152Please respect copyright.PENANA27n6CAmARV

152Please respect copyright.PENANAMoVbRgg5VW
152Please respect copyright.PENANAh4pGdkIIUb
Iria sighed, "100 years of obeying my commands." She ordered.152Please respect copyright.PENANAIC7nJRETAx
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0rFHHBmpUS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjFHwYScsLL
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAfHa0DsF7VI
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPRBuusx3Oa
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqgiZG626VC
Iria's face fell when Amaris and Alice started bickering amongst each other about personal space. When did they become close? Like friends? 152Please respect copyright.PENANAAJESDd11DL
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHMzDPQkWQC
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sk0zTPOhU
Alice stood up from the bench, "You are infuriating me, Amaris." She declared with a scowl.152Please respect copyright.PENANAqUUtYW2JkI
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYNzaVi0Xxv
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlTXbWuCGMd
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAfAzOl4fDfs
152Please respect copyright.PENANAv05CVfyHRl
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4YJQQIzFJq
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. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAMK1R9Q45u1
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8so2o28iOM
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqEGyiqqWd1
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAlcUfDtIsV1
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkuJH8Fe3Vg
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqB3BIXjNff
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAsRPdbxS69e
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbmRPq8ZLx0
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3TYqRgkfDI
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice after briefly glaring at Alice, "No, not today!" She yelled back, which made Beatrice hit her. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAyBCQkxDV1K
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdxX0u8KnfX
152Please respect copyright.PENANAw33T0h1rPx

152Please respect copyright.PENANAfVyREjBaxb
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6AB37tFccA
"You are not allowed here." Gik appeared with an annoyed expression as he stood in between Wani and the others.152Please respect copyright.PENANAEdaUu5E527
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuBHpk1o6qn
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqM2Mtiz4CR
"Little boy," Wani's eyes glowed bright with a golden rage, "are you threatening me?" She sneered venomously.152Please respect copyright.PENANA7EMAcNNeQZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHRIid7xHLx
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUvDidD32jA
"I am." A tall male with a large, muscular, body struck Wani in the back with a powerful kick. 152Please respect copyright.PENANA0wsqzTURwT

152Please respect copyright.PENANAcKUP763xzQ
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAvmTdTt2wMl
152Please respect copyright.PENANARobmJxZ5ve
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzmJJKK3buU
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANADJ93ORug9g
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcDojYGhPKQ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWURDOdVDjd
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAcd5tB4nK1G
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkpa1F0jtV3

152Please respect copyright.PENANAaF8VBhPrNJ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzk44GSsfN3
"Out of respect for Amaris' mercy, I will allow this disobedience once, Chanmi. Go home." Hanako boomed in a firm voice.152Please respect copyright.PENANAy1gsHyrXN4
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7vmcGa8vOL
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAB0s2RMUwT
Chanmi scoffed, "Mate, you're hurting my feelings. My parents only taught me the basics in Japanese not your dialect." 152Please respect copyright.PENANA0TNNFC1vsp
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkQY91CZghP
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8M0ztpNh2Q
Iria sighed, "Let us end this quickly." She raised her right hand, facing her palm towards Chanmi before lowering her ring finger.152Please respect copyright.PENANAcyZyA9Ydys
152Please respect copyright.PENANARS3d2zUXJO
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQM2P2WcU05
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." 152Please respect copyright.PENANAhYxrxi6UBZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZkxeymy0dA
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnF2UJXnGbd
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANARrXFMpyFSP
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxZsGGNHAGY
152Please respect copyright.PENANAY5FOFTJkSC
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA10dmvbsU3t
152Please respect copyright.PENANAogcvDCvXZM
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuLPGT1a7nN
Hanako scoffed, "Lau—" She began to speak, but Amaris placed her hand over her mouth to silence.152Please respect copyright.PENANAQhPmfnDrnI
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9eKFO0Zqos
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfqGblgUy2L
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAU1EW0PqzuZ
152Please respect copyright.PENANAS6Ac41u7ox
152Please respect copyright.PENANADFcoKqZuIe

152Please respect copyright.PENANAuH0XvAWa2X
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdnbksWU0rQ
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAUiw4fZVrMR
152Please respect copyright.PENANARGJWNCgezP
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFsPL6IwwMv
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. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAoaClVcSQgg
152Please respect copyright.PENANApEk5RsvNlP
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsmD2lM0iYH
"You are unworthy to wield this power." Gik boomed loudly, causing Amaris to watch him closely.152Please respect copyright.PENANAXdzCdQZfZq
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPK8PQK1BjN
152Please respect copyright.PENANAE2W3tEtXKw
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAYmpNwZxzxv
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2QYfFX0JbA
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAiM8XsluSm
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA4bEjEAm327

152Please respect copyright.PENANA3OVMNOwVYI
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7TNKyV8HGb
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. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAva7jXpottB
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2uyY7bMMbS
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKrqyOYSBMG
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice, "Pawn...," she grumbled to herself, "more like the King." She retorted with a dark chuckle before kicking him backwards.152Please respect copyright.PENANA68baF9kjac
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfMASY7mhsX
152Please respect copyright.PENANAF3wbUctPmY
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAbCS1OMq4hx
152Please respect copyright.PENANArRCgppnZPu
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6a04h4wHm1
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." 152Please respect copyright.PENANAGyjCIYPqT5
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIVoNhQ3JBC
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQEwdegS4CB
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. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAnMXgAwMR1A
152Please respect copyright.PENANAO8T3Wt5NUM
152Please respect copyright.PENANAC7BQjKwnCl
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. 152Please respect copyright.PENANAFx4D4G6YtI
152Please respect copyright.PENANAryXKce9338
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdXKg9SGftx
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAc3392ruwcT
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYpfzAi6Eie
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdSzVBHiRzq

152Please respect copyright.PENANADXQbfGdZ6X
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPfRQxtarcU
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAXMovcHByVE
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnE5kdqDDRG

152Please respect copyright.PENANAm4TP90bJ57
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPkYcHqMyro

152Please respect copyright.PENANAlU7cmFd0Hn
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vfa8Kb9Xg
"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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAuenopvThvC
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhhbns5c0wN
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHMgnUgM14y
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANAfTF2ZF6kJG
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqaGnZbJdwi
152Please respect copyright.PENANA29Cs6NvTsT
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.152Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ss6fkkmin
