Atacia’s POV:
"Hypnotized how? There's no such thing as hypnotization." Said Prince Neo.
"I mean not literally hypnotize. My point is I think someone’s controlling her." I said. They nodded.
"How did you say so?" Princess Kayda asked.
"She changed. Since the arrow incident she has changed suddenly. At first, I thought it was just because of her feelings. But day by day, she changed more until she came to the part where she was always late, very tired as if someone was chasing her or she’s chasing something, not on her own, she’s not the Cassie I knew." I explained. We went silent for a moment until I snapped my fingers.
"Liam, I'm going to ask you something. And before you say anything, I just want you to know that I understand what you feel. Don't worry I'm not mad at you. Anyways, do you still have it? The antidote you used on her and the poison yo
"Rise and shine biatch! Hey, wake up or else I'll throw you out of the window." I awoke to Julia's loud voice and to her opening the curtain in my room."Boys! What the heck?! I said wake up! There's a class today!" Julia shouted into the living room. I just covered myself with a blanket again and tried to go back to sleep but Julia pulled the blanket and then pulled me down from the bed so the ending, I crashed on the floor."O-ouch! You piece of sh*t! Why did you pull me wtf?!" I said angrily while shaking my head."What the? How the hell did you get in here?" Liam asked, obviously newly awake and interrupted by Julia's loud, sharp, and irritated voice. I was about to close my eyes again when I suddenly remembered something. I quickly stood up and covered Julia's mouth."Julia, I'm telling you, shut up. You don't want the dragon to be interrupted." I said. "Get
Atacia’s POV:"How long do you plan to sleep there?" I asked Drake who was now lying on the bench."Until you master the use of your fire charm." He answered drowsily. I rolled my eyes at his answer."Someone’s rolling their eyes 360°" Prince Neo said and laughed."Then why are you still here? You’re not helping!" I asked him again angrily. Him hanging out here isn’t helping me at all."I’ll just watch you." His answer was short. In annoyance, I just tweaked my own hair."What am I kid?! Get out of here you're not helping!” I sighed at him. He was just making a face, so I was even more angry."Eh, if you're going to quarrel, we'll just train tomorrow." Prince Neo said before Drake could speak again. I was embarrassed and scratched my neck."I'm sorry. Get th
Atacia’s POV:"Hey, you forgot something!" We were lying quietly when Ate suddenly hit me with a pillow in the face."Ouch Ate! What are you talking about?" I asked while rubbing my forehead."Hello? Do you have amnesia or something? You told me you’re going to be my training partner!" She says. I made an ‘oh’ sound and nodded."Yes. Just wait, my knees might give up if I tried to stand now." I said. She’s so excited for the training that she can’t keep quiet and stay still.Ate meditated quietly while I closed my eyes when we heard a knock from the main door. I could feel who it was, but the wind blew differently as I felt its presence unfamiliar to me. Ate and I looked at each other. I picked up the dagger I had tucked under my bed."I'll open the door." Ate said without voice. I nodded. We both go out together. I hid on
Atacia’s POV:Until I fell asleep, I was thinking about what Zephyra wanted to convey in what she had said earlier."Oh, and a little advice, as long as it's early and there's a chance, take it.""Aishhhhhh." Annoyed, I said I messed up my hair and rolled on the bed. My sister was in her room downstairs."Hey. Just go to sleep Atacia. Don't think about that. Maybe she’s just giving you a joke time." I have more to convince myself. I straightened up and closed my eyes.K I N A B U K A S A N"Psst. Cia. Wake up." Ate woke me up following a series of strokes. I hummed."What?" I asked but still closed my eyes."Let's train. You said you’ll train me. Come on while they’re still sleeping." She says. She didn't stop bothering me so I opened my eyes."Tch. Fine. Get out of
Atacia’s POV: 1 MONTH LATER… A month has already passed since the lighting scene. Within a month, a lot had changed. Especially for me. I became even stronger. I became more stable. I was even more courageous. But that's not all. Because it looks like my thinking has changed as well. I often hear a voice whispering. But it mentions only one thing, or rather, a name. Hestia. Who is Hestia? And who is this voice? Is it just my imagination? "Heads up!" I heard Kuya Neo shout, and he threw a huge fire ball at me. I'm currently rehearsing with Kuya Neo and ... Drake. It's been a month since I last spoke to him. Whether the talk is formal. If only there was a question and if it was about training. I focus on the training. I focused my whole mind on the fireball that was gushing towards me. I counted 3 before removing the oxygen here. The oxygen we breath and the oxygen in the fire are the sa
Atacia's POV: "Do we have a problem?" He asked. I gulped. I knew that this time would come where he will ask me if we have a problem. You’re a fool Atacia because you keep on ignoring him and then you don't prepare your explanation. "I ... I don't know what you're talking about." I said. "Really? Seriously Atacia?" He says. I looked at the other side as he tried to peek at my face. "You know what I'm talking about. I just want to know if we have a problem. Did I do something wrong?" He asked. "None. Nothing. Everything's fine." I said. He scoffed. "Then why aren't you looking at me?" He asked. I suddenly took a deep breath when he asked that. "Do you think I don't notice? You haven't looked at me since a month. Even when we're talking you don't look at me." He says. "Eh? What? You want me to stare at you."
Atacia’s POV:"Are you guys complete?" Ms. Anthea asked."Drake and Liam isn't here yet." Julia answered. They all looked at me with questioning eyes."They told me they’ll be here in a minute. So, I went down first without them." I said. We waited for 10 more minutes until they arrived."We're here. Let's go." Said Drake. Ms. Anthea nodded and prompted the guard at the top of the tower. It nodded and opened the Academy’s portal."There's a carriage waiting for you outside the Academy. Be careful." Note by Ms. Anthea. We all nodded at the same time. We were about to enter the portal when someone shouted."Atacia! Wait!" I turned around and saw Ate running towards us with a belt pouch."Ate? What are you doing here?" I asked. She took a deep breath to speak."I'll come with you. You guy
Atacia’s POV:When it got dark, the team that was supposed to take us in case of emergency had not yet arrived. And this s**t is a case of emergency."You okay?" Ate asked."I don't think they'll get here." I said and stood up but also just sat down due to lack of strength."I haven't treated you yet so you're just there. Don't move first." Said Ate. I shook."No. We can't stay here for the rest for the night. Maybe those knights will come back." I said. I created a portal to the gate of the Academy."Help me take them." I said and stood up. Despite the difficulty I floated them one by one and carried them to the other side of the portal. Then I complied.I whistled 3 times to get the attention of the guard. It nodded and opened the portal into the Academy. I entered them all and followed again. Admission has a medical team waiting. They helped
Julia’s POV: I kept laughing every time I remember Aleah's reaction. I'm actually with my former team and the other royalties. "If you don't stop, I swear I'll strangle you." Annoyed Aleah said and glared at me. "Come on Juls stop teasing her." Atacia laughed at me. "Can you blame me? It really is funny! If only you saw her reaction when my cousin whispered behind her." Still laughing I said. "Okay that's it." She said and suddenly stood up. I immediately backed away while still laughing. But she suddenly stopped when our special guest arrived. "Hello everyone. I'm sorry I'm late." His deep voice echoed in our now silent room. All the women were amazed at how handsome this cousin of mine was. "Guys! I want you to meet, Elliot Evangelista. My cousin." I said and shouldered Kuya Elliot. He smiled at me and kissed the side of my h
Aleah’s POV: "Tita Ale! Tita Ale!" The twins called me while jumping. I laughed at their hyper personality. I don't even know who they inherited that from. "What is it kiddo?" I asked. "Can we buy an ice cream?" Tiacia said with matching puppy eyes. "Please? Tita Ale?" Draco added. "But your mom said you can't eat ice cream for now. You guys are so hyper." I said and laughed. "Cia! Your kids want to buy an ice cream!" I called out for Cia. "No! If you do that, then they’ll be more hyper." She said and peeked in our room. "Mommy please!!! Just this once!" Draco said. They insisted. "Fine fine. Just this once, okay?" She said. The two kids immediately nodded. "Fine. You can go." She said that made the kids scream in victory. They immediately pulled me awa
Dear Heatherians, Congratulations! You've reached the end of the Heather Academy! I want to thank you all for being with me during my journey in writing Heather Academy: School of Fighters. Thank you for giving me inspirations and giving me thousands of reasons to continue writing. The truth is, when I started writing my first story, which is this story, I always doubt myself. And always question myself. Can I do this? Can I meet the reader's expectations? Can I get their attention? Will anyone support me? Will I still bleed or should just stop writing? But then I realized, with or without readers, I should keep on bleeding. I should keep on writing. Because I'm not writing to impress. I'm writing to express. It doesn't matter if I do not reach the reader's expectation, instead, expect the unexpected.
Atacia’s POV: "Hey! Give me that! I touched it first so it's mine!" "No this is mine! You lost it and I found it. Now it's mine." "Mommy! Tiacia is taking my toys!" "No, I'm not! Mom he lost it and then I found it. It's founders keepers Draco." I chuckled when I heard them fighting again over a toy. "Now now settle down kids. Don't fight it's just a toy." I said as I entered their playroom while carrying a tray full of cookies and two glasses of milk. "But Mom that's my favorite toy!" Draco whined. "Tiacia, you heard Draco. It's his favorite toy. Give it back." I calmly said and put the tray on the table between them. "But Mom I like it! Plus, he lost it and I found it." Tiacia answered, hugging the teddy bear tightly. "Then why don't you just share it?"
Third Person's POV: "Atacia!" Simultaneous shouts of those who saw. The Dark Knights suddenly disappeared. The students, teacher, all Heatherians ran closer to the ravine. They peeked at it but saw nothing but a black water flowing hard. This is what they call the river of the black. "Look!" A student shouted while pointing at the Phoenix who's flying towards their direction. She landed right in front of them and gently landed Atacia. Her head was about to hit a stone luckily the Phoenix caught her on time using its beak, she pulled Atacia up. Aleah would have approached it, but Phoenix blocked and gave them a bad look. Everyone was scared and grabbed their weapon in case Phoenix attacked them. "It's okay. She's just protecting her summoner." Queen Helia said and stepped forward. The Phoenix, also glared at her as if she didn't care if she knew the Queen. "Nix, it's me. Helia.
Third Person’s POV: "I am going to kill you, Atacia Montreal." The sky went dark, the trees and grass dried, and a cold wind blew, sending shivers down to their spines as they watch the Queen summon something. Something dangerous, something scary, something deadly and venomous. "I-It's ..." Zephyra couldn't finish her sentence because of the fear that is building up inside her. "No way." Both Akira and Terren said. "This can't be happening." Said by Adrian. "This is dangerous." Kayda said and held tight to her sword. "What the hell?" Julia said before looking at her other teammates. Fear can be read in their faces. "The Black Snake." Drake and Liam said. Stood in front of them all, is the darkest creature of the Charm World, summoned by the Black Queen, the Black Snake. The soun
Third Person's POV: "Soy Hestia Phoenix. Ven a mí, mi preciosa criatura." After Atacia or Hestia said those words, she was enveloped in a dazzling light. Everyone was dazzled and stuck in the attack. It also caught the attention of the queen, her daughters Sam and Vivian, as well as the three elderly soothsayers. Atacia felt something burning at her back. It feels like something wanted to come out. "Don't fight it. Don't resist. Let it flow. Let it come out." Atacia opened her eyes and saw a woman, that looks exactly like her, covered in flames. It was like this was the fire version of herself. It offered her hand to Atacia and smiled. "You summoned me, Hestia. Now, let's finish this." It said to her. Atacia looked at her before looking at her hand. She took a deep breath and took her hand. Everyone covered their eyes when the light coming from Cia grew brighter, followed by
Atacia’s POV: "Let the fun begin." I whispered and rushed. The Dark Knights released at least twenty (20) dark puppets and attacked at us. I effortlessly sliced it in half. I flipped back twice to avoid the bomb they threw at my side. Using the rocks scattered on the side I made it like a shell so that the contents of this bomb would not spread. I attacked the Knights and rushed at them. They also rushed at the same time. And of course, I knew they weren’t fair to fight so instead of fighting with my sword I used my charms. I made air blades and air daggers and threw it at them. Some hit directly on the heart, others on the leg, arm, or thigh. Others were just touched. "You idiots! Kael! Finish that woman!" The queen shouted at her right hand. "Yes, dear queen. Your wish is my command." He answered before drawing his sword and walking closer to me. I just stayed in my place, waiting for him to appro
Atacia’s POV: "Depends on the question." Smiling I said. So, I received electricity from the handcuffs attached to me. The cuffs I made have evolved well. "I'm simply asking you. In return, we will not move the Academy. If I am not happy with your answer, all the people who are important to you will be lost. Even the Academy." Said Sam. I rolled my eyes at her "Are you stupid? Or are you just stupid? The Academy is not human." I said. I received electricity again. "Let's stop this nonsense and just get to the question. Where is the Phoenix sword?" The queen asked me. I just smiled at her who was obviously annoyed. "I don’t know. Why don't you look for it?" My answer. Compared to before, now I received stronger electric shock. "Where is the Phoenix sword?" The queen asked again. "Just kill me." My answer. Again,
