Ivy opened her eyes by a quarter, she felt a little bit muddle headed but she shook it off and opened her eyes fully.
‘Where am I’ she asked herself shielding her eyes from the light, she looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and sat up on the bed.
The room was unfamiliar and full of unrecognizable antiques. Ivy suddenly breathed in, the air felt a lot fresher, she sniffed again, she had never breathed in air that was as fresh as this before. She wanted to stand up but her dress felt heavy. She looked at her dress only to see herself wearing a corset.
‘What the heck’ ivy exclaimed as she stared at the beautiful blue gown on her body. She struggled to stand up from the bed and at last she stood up. She noticed something different about her nails, she had her nail polished with gold but why are they suddenly silver.
If this was a prank that Ivan and her friends are trying to pull on her, she was going to yank their hair until it falls out.
She saw a mirror and quickly but carefully walked to it and looked at her reflection.
Her face stared back at her, she smiled, nothing is wrong. She wanted to walk away but her eyes caught something weird on the mirror. Her mouth hung open as she looked at her eyes. One of them was blue while the other was brown. She heard some voices and she looked out the window which was near the mirror. She saw soldiers wearing armors, she looked further outside the walls/fence of the building and she saw some women wearing low and high quality corsets and men wearing shirts and normal pants.
Her eyes alternated between the mirror and the window, after some seconds she let out a loud scream.
Everyone in the building was frightened when they heard the scream; most people thought someone attacked lady because the scream came from her room. A young man who was shirtless is training arduously, when he heard a familiar voice screaming he bolted the direction of the young lady room in anxiousness. If something happened to her the duke will never be able to forgive him.
In no time he reached the entrance of her room and he barged in rather too loud. He met ivy sitting on the floor like a lost puppy; she looked like she had lost everything she had in life which in fact she did. He sighed in relief, she didn’t notice him yet so he planned to sneak out quietly but when he moved his feet she jolted out of her day dream.
Ivy looked at the unfamiliar yet oddly familiar man staring right back at her. She gulped as she glanced at his perfectly formed six packs and his cute face. He looked Asian and he wore ear rings.
‘Lady Ivory’ he man greeted respectfully.
Ivy wanted to get up but she didn’t think too much on the ‘lady ivory’ he called her because she was too embarrassed to be seen like a lost puppy by an incredibly handsome fellow, while trying to stand up she slipped and fell flat on her face.
‘Ooww’.
‘My lady are you okay’ the man said trying to lift her up, when he saw her face he paused, tears runned down her pale cheeks as her watery eyes stared at him. His heart started to beat a little faster but unknown to him it was actually a ploy.
Ivy leaned closer to him while she thought of some crazy things in her mind. ‘sorry handsome but I have to do this *sigh* what if I have been genetically mutated by a bunch of evil scientists who want to use me as a bioweapon to destroy continents, what if this is a village of human bioweapons, if that is so I have to be extra careful’.
As she leaned closer to him she prepared to strike him in the neck then she felt a sudden drowsiness.
‘Not again’ ivy thought as she succumbed to darkness.
‘Where am I’ she asked herself shielding her eyes from the light, her eyes adjusts to the light gradually. The sand under her feet was exactly like the sand found at the beach, she was a little bit thirsty. The place felt cold but oddly she felt comfortable. She saw plants some meters away, she smiled and ran forward. Her joy turned to sadness when she saw a puddle of clean water.
‘What the heck’ she said to herself, she sighed and kneeled near the puddle to drink the water, she saw her reflection smiling back at her in the puddle. Ivy wanted to scream but she felt sharp jolt of pain in her brain, she wanted to scream but nothing came out of her mouth, she felt as if someone was shoving thing in her brain.
After a while it all stopped, she sat up and noticed she had memories which were not hers rather ivory, the body of the girl her soul was in.
The world was she was a moment ago was not earth from but rather another world out of the numerous world out there, in this place they had powers.
Ivy sighed to herself why did it look like she was in a fantasy novel. She is living in Rina city, capital of the Mocha Empire.
The three group of people who existed in this world; Elementals, Witches and Healers. The elementals could be further divided into four which are; air, water, fire and earth. Two out of four could be further divided which were water and earth. The water elementals had those who could control water or ice while earth had those who could make boulders appear from the ground or could control plants.
Ivy sighed. This was a world where the weak had to fear the strong and one mistake could get the weak instantly killed while the strong would go scot free. If she wanted to survive and go back to earth she had to be strong. Ivy had a very strong feeling she was not dead yet.
Witches had their wands, they cast spells and made potions, witches were accepted here but dark witches which followed the way of darkness were cast out.
Healers were those who could heal people, they are like modern day doctors. They have no way of defending themselves so they mostly used swords but fighting with a healer could be a bit troublesome, powerful healers wouldn’t die unless they have their heart stabbed. If their heart isn’t stabbed then they would regenerate their body again.
They all had stages of their powers which could be called phases, phase 1 been the least powerful and phase 10 been the most powerful.
The body of the person she her soul was in was water elemental specifically an ice user and she was in phase one. The place she was where she saw a puddle was actually her soul space. A soul space is a hidden place in one’s soul which opens when one is 17, if one sees water like the puddle of water ivy was presently looking at which changes from water to ice in a minute then one is an ice elemental.A puddle of water meant one was a phase one water elemental, a bigger puddle- phase 2 elemental, a pond- phase3, a lake- phase 4, a well- phase 5, a river-phase six, a larger river- phase 7, a semi ocean- phase 8, an ocean- phase 9 and phase 10- the endless sea in which ones soul space was filled with water-for water elementals-while fire elemental phases where similar just that the water was fire. But phase ten stopped coming into existence about 300 years ago.Ivy sighed in despair as she sat on the sand. ‘I’ll have to live as ivory now’.She knew how to exit this place now-her soul spac
Alfred stared at the mirror, he closed his eyes, when he opened them again they were no longer green but a dark cat like eyes. He hated them, they reminded him of his origin each time they reminded him he wasn’t one of them. His eyes changed back to their normal green color.‘Alfred, are you going to sleep in there’ a voice called from outside his room.‘I’m coming’ he replied hurriedly, he took a ribbon and tied his long black hair then exited the room to meet the other bodyguards who called for him.‘Wow, isn’t he handsome’ one of the younger body guards said, everyone agreed while Alfred just smiled. The eldest of them all which was a man in his fifties stood up and helped Alfred adjust the collar of his uniform.‘time flies, last year you just got admitted to provincial clan now you’ll be in your second year…protect lady ivory well, you do know without her you’ll never even step foot into that clan’.‘I know’ Alfred said smiling as he hugged the old geezer. He carried a heavy bag
‘Oh my Godd’ ivory moaned as she fell flat on her new bed in the dorm she was assigned in by the school, she had just completed her registration into the school and it was very tiring. She felt someone removing her shoes so she suddenly sat up.‘Chloe go rest, you’ve had a stressful day’.‘My lady, it’s my responsibility to take care of you’ Chloe said removing her other shoes. Ivory felt awkward, she still couldn’t believe her best friend was her maid; it was a very weird situation.‘Don’t worry, go do your thing’ ivory shooed Chloe then stood up and started to undress herself. Chloe smiled in appreciation.‘If you say so my lady’. Ten minutes later Chloe was already snoring. Ivory who was reading a book smiled.‘What if my brother likes Chloe here too’ ivory thought as she gazed at the sleeping Chloe. It wasn’t possible; at most she’ll be a mistress which is actually seen as illegal by the mocha church of God. Yes churches existed they had large power, they rarely involve themselves
Ivory smirked when she saw Mari panicking; she smiled at her class mates who in turn clapped as she returned to her seat. The next person was Natasha.‘Hello everyone my name is Natasha Colby, my father is knight Colby’ Natasha said. Collective gasps could be heard, everyone knew the story of how knight Colby rose to fame, he went from grass to grace.‘I’m proficient in literature, calligraphy and embroidery’.Everyone clapped as Natasha went back to her seat. At last everyone had introduced themselves.Mr. Barclay smiled ‘okay everyone today we’ll be discussing about the basics of being an elemental’.As he said this, the word ‘basic’ made out of fire appeared in the air, the whole class was surprised and some clapped.‘He has to be at least phase 3 to do that’ Tasha whispered to ivory who in turned agreed.‘Why can’t I see any witches or healers’ ivory asked Natasha.‘This is an elemental only enlightment class not a general class; you can’t expect a fire elemental to teach healers
Some hours earlierAlfred was walking alone when he saw ivory passing by with two swords, he quickly went to take her sword.‘Oh it’s you again’ ivory said but in her mind she was saying ‘oh it’s Mr. handsome’.‘Lady Ivory’ he greeted. She frowned ‘why are you so formal’.‘I’m your body guard I’m supposed to be formal my lady’ Alfred responded.‘You were smiling with Chloe the other day’ ivory stated. At first he didn’t get what she was talking about but he suddenly remembered he smiled at Chloe the day they left duke hemming mansion.‘She’s just a servant my lady’ he stated. Ivory sighed gazing at him tiredly.‘Look, am sorry okay, I don’t know if your still holding a grudge for what I did to you when we were young’ she technically had no idea about what happened.‘You’ve apologized plenty times now my lady’.‘I did?’ ivory asked I surprise ‘well those times might not be sincere but this time I am super sincere’.Alfred eyes changed before changing back to normal but it wasn’t notice
Ivory looked at Chloe in panic, she started to breathe faster. She calmed herself down, now was not the time to panic.The figure looked at her, even though he had a mask on his eyes gave her the chills. The figure suddenly rushed at her intending to get rid of her once and for all. They started to fight without weapons but their energy.He threw a fire ball which she barely dodged and he kicked her on her stomach. She moved back and held her stomach in pain. She had to survive; if she lost it meant death.She glared at him ferociously. She screamed with all her might and punched him on his nose then kicked his belly. The figure fell on the floor then used all his might to drag her leg which made her fall.The figure stood up, carried her then threw her on the wall. Ivory groaned in pain, blood flowed at the back of her head as she fell on the floor again. She looked left and saw a broken mirror shard. She took it hurriedly.The figure wanted to grab her again but she used her leg-whi
Ivory just sat sadly sat down on the sand. ‘I didn’t ask for this’.‘Sorry but it’s your fate’ Anita said.‘Fuck fate, I can’t believe a 15 year old is giving me advice’.‘Excuse me’ Anita stood up angrily ‘I’m older than your grandmother’.‘Then how old are you’.‘I stopped counting after two thousand years’. Ivory looked at her and sighed, she wanted to go back home so badly, she missed her phone, she missed instagram and tiktok, she missed watching movies on TV why did she come to a backward civilization.‘Take that’ Anita said throwing a random book at ivory which she caught.‘What’s this?’ ivory asked.‘A technique on how to hide or disguise your phase’ Anita answered.‘I don’t need it besides there’s the library at the academy, I can pick any technique book’.Anita sighed ‘you are already in phase two you don’t want any one finding out about that and my technique book is ancient, the first copy ever made without alteration or mistakes, do you know how expensive it is, no amount
Two hours laterThe stick was long abandoned on the ground; ivory crouched on the ground panting tiredly.‘This is pure torture’ ivory murmured tiredly.‘No, it’s pure training…I give you ten minutes to rest’.Ivory caved in to her tiredness and intentionally collapsed on the floor. Ten minutes passed in a blink.‘Time to get up’ Anita said staring at ivory.‘Leave me alone, I’m tired’.‘Okay, but don’t come running when you end up like the ivory in your dreams’ Anita stated getting ready to leave.‘Wait’ ivory called out gritting her teeth, she stood up. ‘Let’s do this’.Anita smirked as if she had been expecting her answer; she turned around and gave ivory a black silk.‘What should I do with this’ ivory stared at it with question marks all over her face.‘Blind fold yourself; I would like to teach you how to fight blindly’. Ivory scoffed, she couldn’t even fight her properly when she could see now she had to fight blind folded, her day just got worse.She picked the stick up she dr
At last they all woke up. After sorting their stuffs they began their journey. After four days they got to their destination. ‘At last’ ivory said smiling; they hid behind a big pile of snow as they watched the white leopard doing their stuffs. ‘Do you honestly think we can bypass all those creatures’ Natasha said warily. ‘I think they are up to twenty’ Chevy said glancing around. ‘We should make a proper plan before we barge in or we’re all going to be eaten alive’ Alfred says carefully looking around. Ivory looks at the map. She could see many green and pink dots but the leopard standing at the entrance of the cave was a red dot. ‘This will be a little tricky’ ivory comments as she sighs. ‘Who are those’ Natasha says pointing to two women dressed in white not standing far away from them. Ivory glances at them frowning. ‘Aren’t they from saintess clan’ indigo said as they all stared at them. The women dressed in white stared at them too. ‘Let’s be careful’ Alfred says ‘I’m su
‘I wonder what’s taking them so long’ indigo says as his stomach growls. ‘Don’t worry since Alfred is with her she’ll be fine’ Chevy says while smiling, Nara chuckles too. Natasha looks at them both as she asks ‘is there something going on between them that I don’t know’. ‘He’s her bodyguard nothing can happen between them’ indigo says glancing at Natasha. Natasha scoffs ‘don’t you read romance stories’. ‘It’s a waste of my time and money’ indigo states, Natasha wanted to retort but she kept quiet when she heard footsteps outside the cave. Alfred appears with ivory on his back, Natasha stands up. ‘You’re back and why is ivory on your back’ she asks in confusion. Chevy noticing something was wrong quickly carries ivory in princess style and checks her properly. ‘Quick lay her down’ Alfred says as he drags indigo on his feet. ‘What happened to her’ Nara asks noticing ivory could only move her eyes. ‘She got scratched on her arm by the claw of the Dagi rabbit’ Alfred explains wh
Sighing she looked around; Anita was nowhere to be found. Ivory could feel a slight change in the wind; she turned back and saw Anita smiling at her as she lay down on a bed.Huffing in annoyance, ivory looked at Anita as she asked ‘where did you go’.Anita smiled sheepishly ‘I was in your soul space; I just wasn’t in this exact spot’.‘look when you suddenly appeared and told me the only way to go back was to survive without dying I thought I could do that but when death stared at me in the face I found out that I was too afraid to continue living in this fucked up world’.‘But this is your fate’ Anita responded.‘this isn’t my fate’ ivory yelled ‘it’s a fucked up fate you and ivory made up for me…she gets a vision and goes to my body while I come to hers to fight her battles for her, do you have any idea how annoying that can be’.Anita sighed then stood up ‘you don’t understand’.Ivory sneered ‘understand, I don’t need to understand anything … you know almost dying made me do a lot
‘Are you okay?’ the guy asked smiling.‘Indigo’ ivory called looking at him then at his sword. He stretched out his hand which ivory accepted, with his help she stood up and dusted her cloth.‘Thanks’ ivory said looking at his sword. Alfred grabbed her worriedly.‘Are you okay?’ he asked checking her body.‘I’m fine’ she responded. Ivory’s hands shook, she hid her hands so the others won’t see, she couldn’t believe she just escaped from death.‘That’s a relief’ Nara commented. Ivory stared at indigo’s sword; she wondered what type of sword it was that it could pierce through the bear’s thick hide. The sword looked like it was made from a bone of a creature.‘That sword is indeed made from bone but it was made from a bone of a phase five air elemental’ Anita commented. Ivory’s eyes widened in surprise as she took another look at his sword, she didn’t reply Anita as she was still a little angry.‘If you had the sword all along why didn’t you attack’ Alfred asked angrily.‘I’m a healer n
Seeing the bear turn ivory into ice, Alfred yelled out in surprise. ‘Ivory!!!’ The bear removed the chains around its hand and moved it leg forcefully. It broke Chevy spell and rushed to attack them, Nara joined the fight while Natasha and indigo stayed beside the frozen ivory. Laying the frozen ivory on the snow, indigo suggested ‘enclose her in water, let’s see whether it will melt. Nodding Natasha said ‘water bubble’. The frozen ivory was inside the water bubble for a few minutes but it didn’t melt at all. ‘It isn’t working’ Natasha said in frustration as she called water bubble off, seeing them all fighting the bear, indigo sighed. ‘We should have hid the moment ivory said so’ Natasha said sadly. The ice began to crack, indigo and Natasha stared at ivory. The ice shattered and disappears from ivory’s body, staring at them while laying down on the snow ivory said. ‘Yeap you guys should have listened to me’. ‘Are you alright’ Natasha asked worriedly. ‘Did you forget, I’m an
There was no difference between where they just left to where they just entered, the place is covered in snow. ‘I thought since only phase one and two can enter this place, it will be full of treasures but I was wrong’. Natasha says looking around. ‘Don’t look down on this place, there are many treasures here but if luck is on your side you’ll find one’ Alfred says covering himself with his coat. There was a patch of grass where they were standing; both Chevy and indigo were digging them. Some after revealing their roots they covered them back and some they but in a purse hanging around their waist. ‘Why are you guys digging up grass?’ ivory asked as she watched them doing their thing. ‘It’s isn’t just any grass, it’s snow grass’ Indigo replied. ‘Snow grass, what are those’ ivory asked looking around; Natasha shakes her head indicating she doesn’t know too. ‘It’s a type of grass which is used to make medicine and potion’ indigo replies ‘the older it gets the stronger its proper
‘I think that’s all’ ivory murmured to herself closing the bag she would take with her on her journey. ‘You guys are funny, going to Buklime mountain to search for the ice lotus when you don’t even know the exact cave it grows in’ Anita says in ivory’s mind. ‘White leopards only gather in three caves in chex, we’ll just have to search all three of them’ ivory replied braiding her hair. ‘It could take about a month before you find it besides you could miss the continuous assessment test which is about to come up’. ‘So what do you suggest I do’ ivory asked tying her boots. ‘You could simply ask me to give you the map of chex in Buklime mountain’ Anita replied. ‘Wait you have a map…that’s great give it to me’ ivory asked happily knowing Anita’s stuff were not ordinary. ‘Not so fast, you know life is all about give and take’ Anita said with a smirk on her face. ‘What do you want’ ivory asked sighing as she straps her sword around her waist. ‘There’s a sword that is that particular
‘Good, your name is ivory right.’ Mr. Pax said staring at her with sly eyes when he saw she was the only one who drank the tea without the book falling. ‘Yes, my name is ivory hemming’ ivory replied delighted. Mr.pax smiled ‘class is dismissed for today’. Ivory suddenly noticed some girls glaring at her; she rolled her eyes and left the class. Surprisingly she met Alfred who seemed to be waiting for her near the door of etiquette class. The memories of the previous night came to her, how she moaned when he sucked her neck and how she kissed him passionately. She shook her head to dispel such memories and carefully approached him. ‘Hey, are you looking for me’ ivory asked Alfred just noticed her. ‘I got two people to join us to go to Buklime mountain, I wanted to ask when would you want us to meet’ Alfred asked calmly. Ivory frowned ‘why was he too calm, did he really not feel flustered about last night or was she the only one who cared’. She had long forgotten she was the one wh
Ivory opened her eyes by a quarter, she wanted to stretch on the bed but she realized she was in someone embrace, she suddenly remembered everything that happened last night. She yanked herself out of his embrace and used all her strength to push him to the floor in anger. Her cloth was ripped in the bust area and her bra was torn. A groan rang out; Alfred sat up as he held his head. He was astonished when he saw ivory disheveled. She looked as if she would tear him apart in any moment. He looked around the room then suddenly looked at her again this time blushing. ‘So you remember’ ivory said smiling hysterically but she was still happy they didn’t go past her bust. He hurriedly stood up straight, he was flustered and he was shirtless. He looked at Chevy bed and got an idea, he removed the bedspread and used too to cover ivory’s body while he tried his best not to look at her. Ivory looked at Alfred who tried his best not to look at her, his black lo
