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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAaWznGEsMsK
348Please respect copyright.PENANA0iIRmUcUrt
348Please respect copyright.PENANA5vtKNU4az5
"Why are you watching Amaris?" Agatha unintentionally wondered aloud before covering her mouth. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAaCkdFTljZU
348Please respect copyright.PENANAh4HkVg5U2a
348Please respect copyright.PENANAyCg7btzzps
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." 348Please respect copyright.PENANAqW9h7HQo2y
348Please respect copyright.PENANAH2p8nxdIQu
348Please respect copyright.PENANAGN3kJsXSNI
Agatha rolled her eyes when she turned her back to her, "Yes, of course, have a nice day." She looked through the window.348Please respect copyright.PENANAOu2WwKJf8d
348Please respect copyright.PENANAyhbr3WQ9oo
348Please respect copyright.PENANAqDnN72DIot
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANANLrNsVfMQW
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHiAjnnLlZK
348Please respect copyright.PENANA4HV1eMcay4
Alice glanced at Amaris, "Why are you sitting by me?" She questioned in annoyance with an unopened leather book placed in her lap.348Please respect copyright.PENANAszNxxgR7uR
348Please respect copyright.PENANAjuOQln73Bp
348Please respect copyright.PENANALjimpsz7Ol
"I am waiting for Iria." Amaris chimed as her eyes scanned the courtyard for the Goddess of Spite. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAVxXVAVsZUF
348Please respect copyright.PENANAvRXc5ccXv7
348Please respect copyright.PENANAQZkRaLcWNm
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?348Please respect copyright.PENANAV0fqrqelu5
348Please respect copyright.PENANAVvY1h4WR6W
348Please respect copyright.PENANAFYY5OIpEgs
Alice scoffed, "Please, she does not like you. She most likely believes that you are a complete and utter idiot." She mused.348Please respect copyright.PENANATkZvU4N7UZ
348Please respect copyright.PENANAmHWqSwXJHJ
348Please respect copyright.PENANAUH34ODn5LL
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAhnuikJflOp
348Please respect copyright.PENANA0bvJF9PYSk
348Please respect copyright.PENANAdvr30LoXJZ
"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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAJpYXs1GFEb
348Please respect copyright.PENANARcEpVKXyEJ
348Please respect copyright.PENANAbiNmhl6Jyy
"I do not have to take a normal science class if I join Iria's physics club." Amaris smirked.348Please respect copyright.PENANAKjs2E484G1
348Please respect copyright.PENANAIn6df3KXNc
348Please respect copyright.PENANAy9Tm6khBu5
Alice pinched the bridge of her nose, "Chemistry, Amaris." She groaned in annoyance.348Please respect copyright.PENANAdULjDVcvWj
348Please respect copyright.PENANA8X7HxOxSva
348Please respect copyright.PENANAxb7RCSMB5H
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAG1qjJlkwoh
348Please respect copyright.PENANAiyL3neI74i
348Please respect copyright.PENANAJxeFouUl2I
Iria turned on her heel to walk in the different direction, "No." She stated firmly.348Please respect copyright.PENANAp33356WeX7
348Please respect copyright.PENANAQzOaZ0io5U
348Please respect copyright.PENANA0laguk4l5b
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA5UHc7rhCPD
348Please respect copyright.PENANAu5NyLySCyi
348Please respect copyright.PENANAfO275Wpu9x
Iria slowly glanced over her shoulder, "Chemistry, Amaris." She corrected her.348Please respect copyright.PENANActOlDj0xxR
348Please respect copyright.PENANAskK4lIc3Lz
348Please respect copyright.PENANAvU2EboLiFD
Amaris laughed as she released her, "Please, I will listen to you for 30 days." She suggested.348Please respect copyright.PENANA09S3fvVPlU
348Please respect copyright.PENANAnMIhuaRZjh
348Please respect copyright.PENANAAWCl8AB5xt
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAPTO0n69UoD
348Please respect copyright.PENANAEeP361dy9Q
348Please respect copyright.PENANA71xWemrJLu
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAOwrc5nMjzU
348Please respect copyright.PENANAH3v5X7rpiS
348Please respect copyright.PENANA3mojFIAA8H
"I am sure you need credits from this, correct?" Iria looked her up and down in annoyance.348Please respect copyright.PENANAYD3uHjdZar
348Please respect copyright.PENANAYtUkj8d9Qx
348Please respect copyright.PENANAoLM2T2LioP

348Please respect copyright.PENANApIfdZFIRAV
348Please respect copyright.PENANAr37VMpYG9D
Iria sighed, "100 years of obeying my commands." She ordered.348Please respect copyright.PENANAq7Q5NOcMHG
348Please respect copyright.PENANARTBgajXKQp
348Please respect copyright.PENANAK6OPt6D3BS
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA8CgmfXiKfK
348Please respect copyright.PENANA3emKd04zWj
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeBLsj26nfw
Iria's face fell when Amaris and Alice started bickering amongst each other about personal space. When did they become close? Like friends? 348Please respect copyright.PENANABEM3dejH9U
348Please respect copyright.PENANABd2Wa0xexq
348Please respect copyright.PENANARtK21VhOTS
Alice stood up from the bench, "You are infuriating me, Amaris." She declared with a scowl.348Please respect copyright.PENANAttgR37kmAJ
348Please respect copyright.PENANA8wLrF9RBCb
348Please respect copyright.PENANAEC8AuPEBXV
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAb6zjQySQCA
348Please respect copyright.PENANAPvFqb1r8Nx
348Please respect copyright.PENANAEaFIkpiZbr
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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAGL4xLCSKCW
348Please respect copyright.PENANAnu6TMuYw4x
348Please respect copyright.PENANAoYqhISHk34
"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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA5eZZmY5Ol2
348Please respect copyright.PENANAW7wzWEnwCn
348Please respect copyright.PENANAJf1M0gbKU9
"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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAHpWJbxqWBl
348Please respect copyright.PENANA5zM2l47k4G
348Please respect copyright.PENANAzEIZjCTWRy
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice after briefly glaring at Alice, "No, not today!" She yelled back, which made Beatrice hit her. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAVnU2inZBYU
348Please respect copyright.PENANAF2TFoLLSis
348Please respect copyright.PENANAMrMI8kNSXO
"Just checking!" Wani shouted before tossing Annika aside.348Please respect copyright.PENANAHcLRMFfHV6
348Please respect copyright.PENANALRu851Na5v
348Please respect copyright.PENANAFO6T0Kqvuz
"You are not allowed here." Gik appeared with an annoyed expression as he stood in between Wani and the others.348Please respect copyright.PENANADSxdxpeICE
348Please respect copyright.PENANAue92tbHpMO
348Please respect copyright.PENANA4ylqdWdEwN
"Little boy," Wani's eyes glowed bright with a golden rage, "are you threatening me?" She sneered venomously.348Please respect copyright.PENANAHUsVNBYGBd
348Please respect copyright.PENANA4nbHeFU7LC
348Please respect copyright.PENANA8eIeFR2kaO
"I am." A tall male with a large, muscular, body struck Wani in the back with a powerful kick. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAbVwlyBXD5q
348Please respect copyright.PENANAmsY1hiMPSB
348Please respect copyright.PENANApWdgFH7v63
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA6eDUTqh9IJ
348Please respect copyright.PENANA80RPAIfBS1
348Please respect copyright.PENANAdHXVk2hu8J
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAX8IqrQveYv
348Please respect copyright.PENANAxrAaOHobba
348Please respect copyright.PENANA4iAPFgHa9H
"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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAreKhPpFnqu
348Please respect copyright.PENANAiClQDI1Vdh

348Please respect copyright.PENANAsKAvIuKVQI
348Please respect copyright.PENANAEXQRDs532G
"Out of respect for Amaris' mercy, I will allow this disobedience once, Chanmi. Go home." Hanako boomed in a firm voice.348Please respect copyright.PENANAKrWwO1mdaN
348Please respect copyright.PENANAz5nzb2CqQ4
348Please respect copyright.PENANA2UIGwQQakI
Chanmi scoffed, "Mate, you're hurting my feelings. My parents only taught me the basics in Japanese not your dialect." 348Please respect copyright.PENANAuSAc1nzRVb
348Please respect copyright.PENANAT6Bb643T51
348Please respect copyright.PENANAYBFvuBmUW5
Iria sighed, "Let us end this quickly." She raised her right hand, facing her palm towards Chanmi before lowering her ring finger.348Please respect copyright.PENANAFl9hshm7vF
348Please respect copyright.PENANATeD1s5nzUn
348Please respect copyright.PENANAMCfiZ6QUZU
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." 348Please respect copyright.PENANAiKWJMha68o
348Please respect copyright.PENANATuBm8Wm8KL
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHsan1mkjIK
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ohrXbtmr
348Please respect copyright.PENANAbSugFAkSuD
348Please respect copyright.PENANAu319PInvw6
"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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAcANqqhHdyI
348Please respect copyright.PENANAO8yENT7GUG
348Please respect copyright.PENANAX2URAqqBEM
Hanako scoffed, "Lau—" She began to speak, but Amaris placed her hand over her mouth to silence.348Please respect copyright.PENANAekRhYhMomL
348Please respect copyright.PENANAqHKBMnzfPu
348Please respect copyright.PENANAMCmJemE485
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAm93KFTJHfk
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHvr9y0XJPs
348Please respect copyright.PENANALUZa4Q1qYO

348Please respect copyright.PENANAtndI6d5pqc
348Please respect copyright.PENANAc0rZSXoYGN
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAP5qarqt7og
348Please respect copyright.PENANAZcrpnblUfk
348Please respect copyright.PENANA06X4FmJ00M
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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAl8WyIxHszX
348Please respect copyright.PENANA3s6mgRPq8B
348Please respect copyright.PENANA1ToeRwFleO
"You are unworthy to wield this power." Gik boomed loudly, causing Amaris to watch him closely.348Please respect copyright.PENANADk7V0obkku
348Please respect copyright.PENANAIXI2bdSabA
348Please respect copyright.PENANAuug5ETPcEL
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANARz5c5wOuNX
348Please respect copyright.PENANAn5VuxOLQF4
348Please respect copyright.PENANAL9BnZ0xs4G
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAxYMBDB6Szm
348Please respect copyright.PENANAnNQOT10yNv

348Please respect copyright.PENANA7U16uKTGpg
348Please respect copyright.PENANA5aRJIPVZ55
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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANA3NskAi9VtQ
348Please respect copyright.PENANAoYeP5peR03
348Please respect copyright.PENANACXT97MOLcQ
Chanmi glanced at Beatrice, "Pawn...," she grumbled to herself, "more like the King." She retorted with a dark chuckle before kicking him backwards.348Please respect copyright.PENANAiEumhrgsDh
348Please respect copyright.PENANA4qxjo5uQbD
348Please respect copyright.PENANAXAjYLwsh3Y
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANANyItDxvBSg
348Please respect copyright.PENANAuB0Umhi7Ni
348Please respect copyright.PENANAQU8SBn9C7T
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." 348Please respect copyright.PENANAFsqD15DOmV
348Please respect copyright.PENANAIvG7IYVUvS
348Please respect copyright.PENANAHp9y0WeCmM
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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAwz4gyVEb12
348Please respect copyright.PENANAUnJSQell9r
348Please respect copyright.PENANAU4fRXaO4PZ
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. 348Please respect copyright.PENANA6Scj9ElYkh
348Please respect copyright.PENANAVjh8qruwdv
348Please respect copyright.PENANAlw2luBP9mw
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAgJibYR3vht
348Please respect copyright.PENANAJl3u3H2JOE
348Please respect copyright.PENANAQf2364D1IT

348Please respect copyright.PENANA6vWKTqLb7k
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAOfvOCCBq5K

348Please respect copyright.PENANAkefSVpGXw7

348Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZlRS3cCpn
348Please respect copyright.PENANAIoeDHMiUAG
"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.348Please respect copyright.PENANARlStVOKKEV
348Please respect copyright.PENANALc7sCyNI5V
348Please respect copyright.PENANAkKSELMemGO
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA9TFMvsGSUZ
348Please respect copyright.PENANAR04uPdZ539
348Please respect copyright.PENANAeb6Nu3fF2o
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZsVyUwcsG
