Seven Magics Academy Scent Of Lilacs
I landed with a grunt and threw the murderous troll off the unicorn. She lay on her side, breathing rapidly, blowing out air with a snort. "Envy." I wanted to retaliate and kill everyone but I kneeled next to her, tucking my wings away. One of Envy's legs was bent at an odd angle, and a wing was torn, several feathers ripped away.Please be all right, Snow White sobbed. Her sadness tore through me, and I growled the pain away. All that mattered was that I collected the seven magics, I thought, but my insides ached. It was an awful truth about myself."Envy, can you hear me?" I asked, gently touching her side.She winced and opened an eye. "Yes," she said, the word garbled.I swallowed. Regardless of my personal desires, I didn't want this poor creature to suffer. "You can heal yourself, right? What can I do to make it easier?"She snorted. "I must do what I must, what I can, what is necessary."What did she mean? I shook my head. "Let's get you out of here. I'll take you back to Dev
Seven Magics Academy Hard Choices
"You think I wanted to hurt Envy? I didn't. It breaks me up inside to know I caused that little unicorn pain. But I had no choice. This is the cost of war. Death." I forced the angry fear Snow's words caused to the back of my mind. I touched the horn to the gem, and I watched as it disappeared inside and rested in the center, the pointy end facing upward.I knew Envy was dead, and I had to bury her. She deserved a more honorable memorial than what I could give at that moment, but I had to do something. I dug a deep hole with my clawed hands, then using my magic, I lined it with lilacs. Carefully, I picked her up and placed her inside. "I'm sorry, Envy, but I'll make sure your sacrifice wasn't for nothing." With more magic, I covered her in more lilacs. Tears dripped from my eyes, and I knew it was Snow crying more than me, but I let them fall. The unicorn had been a bright spot in my life for a few moments, and I would never forget her. All around me, trolls banged against the forcefi
Seven Magics Academy The Little Imp
As the king and queen and their court continued toward their destination, Ryden, Gabriel, and I made good time getting home. We arrived at the castle swiftly and parted ways. Ryden said she needed to get cleaned up. I wanted to do that, as well. It was too long since I bathed. Gabriel went to report to Sharra that I was found, and all was well.When I entered my room, two male humans greeted me. Neither wore clothing on their top halves, and their trousers hung low on their hips. My mouth watered. "Well-kept humans," I muttered, taking my fill of one and then the other. No doubt, they were a gift from my sister, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I'd be doing more than that soon enough when I proved to her once and for all I was and would always remain ruler of the vampires - when I possessed the power of all magics inside the gem Abernathy had given me. That would be soon. I still needed the essence of a vampire and the blood of a hunter. I wondered if I would have to slay
Seven Magics Academy I Have A Surprise
I shook my head. "It doesn't matter right now. What does? I still need two more magics: the essence of a vampire and the blood of a hunter." I clenched my hands together, trying not to believe what Zenny said about Gabriel. "I'm not sure how to collect those, but I'm working on it. The thing is - " I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It was becoming clear I would need to kill my sister to win. If that was what it took, I would do it. "If something happens to me - " I began."Nothing will, Silindra," Ryden interrupted, wringing her hands.I appreciated Ryden's belief in me. "I know, but if it does, I need you to promise me something.""Anything." She flew around with nervous worry. "I need some watermelon juice to calm my nerves. You shouldn't talk like this."I held out my hand, hoping she would land. Thankfully, she did but started pacing around my palm and up and down my fingers. It tickled. I smiled. "Just promise me you'll take this back to Abernathy. Can you do that?"She
Seven Magics Academy Shatter Me
Had he poisoned me? I did as he said because my lids were too heavy to do otherwise, but not before noticing the wisp of a malevolent gleam cross his features.It won't be long now, Snow whispered through the dark. I know, I responded, letting the anger evaporate into an overwhelming sadness. I didn't know how, but Gabriel intended to kill me, and he found a way. At that moment, I understood whose blood would seal the gem. It would be Gabriel's. I didn't know how it would happen, but without a doubt, it would. I didn't believe Gabriel could betray me. It seems my arrogance has gotten the best of me. I'm sorry, Silindra, Snow said. ***"Oh, man. I can't believe Professor Pops and the guys talked me into this," Daniel said. Daniel! He wasn't dead. A chayot had stabbed him at my birthday party. His blood had been everywhere. But he was alive, and I was so happy. Relief rushed through me, and I wondered if perhaps he was a supernatural as well. "They're confident one of us is your
Seven Magics Academy Unknown Creatures
His words infuriated me. I was the first - an original. A creature born of all seven magics and a portion of them dwelled within me. The way I looked, the way I acted, every part of me was precisely right. "You're the freak!" I shouted. "You live only because the blood of a vampire flows in your veins. Don't ever think you're better than me. You're nothing but a whipping boy, a slave to the real master. If not me, then my sister."He hit my wings this time, and I felt whatever was on the ends bite deep. Then his face was next to mine. "You were born first. That is true. But that doesn't make you better. It makes you old. It makes you inadequate. You refuse to see what is right in front of you. Evolution is the answer to eternal life. Instead of choosing to progress, like the rest of the vampires, you stay like this." He yanked on my hair. "In an ugly, good for nothing body. You could've been so much more. Your sister wants that for you. I want that for you. Now it's too late."I spit i
Seven Magics Academy Back To The Future
"I, Snow White, do solemnly swear to right the wrongs." My eyes opened, and I stared into the surprised eyes of Dorian. The edges were crinkled with gladness, and he had a huge grin on his face. "I, Dorian, swear to help you right those wrongs in any way I can," he said, his voice overflowing with emotion as tears filled his eyes. His face hovered above mine, and I wondered if he'd kissed me. At the thought, I blushed and tried to sit up, conking my forehead into his."Sorry," I said, my throat scratchy. It was seconds ago that I witnessed everything happening to Silindra, feeling her pain and suffering through her anguish. So many emotions dashed through my body. But I was beyond glad to be back in my time and looking into the face of one of my favorite people in the whole world. I was also sick inside at Silindra's death, the lies and deceptions Sharra had spewed, and I was determined, resolved, to accept my destiny. Silindra's death came with the knowledge that I was responsibl
Seven Magics Academy Red Hot
Time was a flighty fiend, I thought as I watched Cindy rummage through my closet. Not the one at my little cottage of a house, but the one in Professor Pops' mansion."What about this one?" Cindy asked, holding out the dress my dad and stepmother had brought home for me. I swallowed down the raw hurt over my father leaving. Shook my head. "What else?" I eked out. Cindy was getting frustrated. She threw her hands up. "I need a break. Your turn." She gave me a haphazard look and I smiled, getting off the chaise. "Fine," I said, watching Cindy fall onto the same chair I'd been sitting in.As I pushed through all of the amazing dresses Pops had purchased for me, I considered again the strangeness of time. How seconds flickered in slow motion until an instant later, weeks simply vanished, disappearing without a backward glance.A month had passed since I woke from my time with Silindra. Though I was still desperate to end her - Sharra - the vampire queen, I wasn't meant to be her next v

Seven Magics Academy The KPID
That night, after all of the festivities were over and we said our goodbyes, Troy and I went back to the small house that used to be my mother's. Now that Sharra was no longer a threat, the chayot set up a meeting between several of the heads of different countries in the human realm and me. There, with the help of the chayot, we discussed relaxing the laws for supernaturals. Together we came to an agreement and I created a magical system with the help of Heathcliff and several other human scientists. After much discussion, I became aware of the KPID, a supernatural government agency known as the King's Paranormal Inquiries Division. The organization had been tracking supernaturals for hundreds of years, at first in the United Kingdom, but in the mid seventeen hundreds, they'd moved over to America as well. Given access to the KPID's super top secret information, I was able to update and strengthen the magic already in place as well as add some newer, more technical attributes with He
Seven Magics Academy One Year Later
"Are you ready?" I asked. We were standing outside on my balcony. I took Troy's hand as my wings fluttered behind me. My engagement ring sparkled in the midday light and I couldn't help but admire it. Troy had asked Jesse and the gargoyles to create the ring for me. A thick platinum band with vines filigreed on either side leading to the center where sat a delicate jasmine flower made of diamonds and blue topaz."Are you sure you can do this?" Troy was teasing me, pretending to be nervous about me flying him around Sharra. "There's only one way to find out," I said, and leaped into the air. Troy whooped out a holler as he clung to my hands, his body dangling below."Don't drop him, Jasmine. It isn't every day you find someone crazy enough to fall for you," Abrea said beside me, her pixilette wings fluttering gracefully. "True." I laughed and the action felt really good."Jasmine? We need to leave for the wedding," my mom called from back in my room. I rolled my eyes and glanced at
Seven Magics Academy An Announcement
Before I knew it, I was laughing as tears of joy leaked onto my cheeks. He set me on the ground and pushed my hair out of my face, then cupped it in his hands. "I love you vampire girl." "You do?" I believed him, but needed reassurance as my hands curled around his wrists. "More than I believed it was possible to love." He bent his head and gently touched his lips to mine, his eyes still open and on me. I kissed him back, as a gurgle of happiness shot through me. The sweet kiss turned hot and needy. I loved him and wanted him and didn't care who knew it. He pressed my mouth open, deepening our kiss as his arms went around my waist and he lifted me off the ground. "Hey you two?" It was my Mom. I froze and opened my eyes. Troy was watching me again. "Should we tell them?" he asked. I knew he was talking about our engagement. "Now's as good a time as any," I said as he set me on my feet. Troy took my hand and I turned to face the group. "We have an announcement," he said. The
Seven Magics Academy Access To Your Neck
"Do not do this," Christopher said, a look of complete disbelief on his injured face. "You have the power within you to destroy her. You know you do. So why?" I couldn't explain. But I hoped one day he and the rest would understand. If I failed, Laeddin could tell them the truth about the Unknowns, what they had planned. In the end my family would see I made the best choice. The only choice."Silence, Hunter. I'll deal with your insubordination later," Sharra said, sending a bolt of magic at Christopher. He was thrown back, landing against the other side of the cell before falling to the ground with a groan. Chris bared his fangs in anger and jumped to his feet, though slower than expected. "Hurt them and the deal is off," I seethed, facing her, my hands in fists at my sides. She gave me an innocent look. "I didn't do any permanent damage." She crossed her arms, sauntering toward me. "Now then, let's do this."I swallowed, forcing myself to remain calm. My plan would work. It had t
Seven Magics Academy Wings
Determination weighed my shoulders down as I traversed the inkiness. As I went, I called out in my mind, using the magic within me to speak with Silindra and Laeddin. At once, my mind was there, in Laeddin's realm, in his library full of books. He and Silindra were there, standing close, reading something aloud. "Laeddin," I said. Laeddin glanced at me, or rather, my mental presence. Silindra looked up as well. "Is it just me or am I seeing Jasmine?" Surprise flickered across her too lovely face. "I see her too - somehow." Laeddin reached out, but his fingers couldn't touch me. I was there, but not really there. "I'm going to Sharra," I said, and looked from Laeddin to Silindra. "The darkness will swallow the earth soon. There is no more time. I need your help now. Please find me." "We're coming, Jasmine," Laeddin said, and took Silindra's hand. Were they a couple now? There was no time to figure it out. Silindra said, "Watch out for my sister. She's tricky.""I will," I said, a
Seven Magics Academy Nipaforte Wood
Now that we had nothing to fear, Lirle and I moved quickly and undeterred toward the stronghold. As we went, Lirle talked more about the dragon she liked as well as growing up in the dragon realm. Hearing her talk, I couldn't help but admire the Hollow. It was stark and vast and though it wasn't blooming with all manner of flowers like Sharra, it still held beauty. That night as we rested and ate under a canopy of trees, I was able to witness one of the wonders of her realm. Here, the forest stirred to life at night. Everything seemed to possess a bioluminescence. Trees whose leaves were pink during the day glowed a soft white, like millions of fireflies covered them. Animals I hadn't known were there, insects and little creatures that reminded me of spider monkeys, lit up as well. It was beautiful and a little terrifying. "Why does it do this?" I asked, mesmerized. Lirle took another bite of whatever she was eating. Her lips were luminescent blue like the spider monkeys and I force
Seven Magics Academy Slayer Of The White Dragon
He looked up and for the briefest moment, I thought he was staring right at me. No longer angry, but still unsure. Troy spoke: I love you, too, Jazz. He stopped speaking and adjusted his weight, sitting up straighter. They added: Someone is coming. He closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping. His cell door cranked open and a female voice spoke. "I brought you a friend. Try not to kill each other." Christopher stumbled into the room before turning and flashing his fangs. "You touch me like that again and you won't live to tell anyone about it." His hands were behind his back and black magic held his wrists together. The person he spoke to laughed. It was Sharra.I focused on Troy. His eyes burned into Chris like he would kill him. To Troy, I begged: Please remember, Chris is on our side. He believes in our love too. When Sharra forced me to kiss him, Chris stopped me and freed me from her magic. He's changed and he can help.I hoped that was true. As much as I trusted Chris
Seven Magics Academy A Fighter
"How nice to see you, Lirle." The voice came from a gray dragon with blood red eyes. His sharp and pointy teeth glistened like they held their own light. Huge talons clamped around Lirle from behind, holding her like a sharpened straight jacket. She gasped and struggled but couldn't move. Her captor's clutches were bigger than Lirle's body. The first dragon looked at me. "And you are Jasmine, heir to Sharra and an original vampire. But where are your wings?" He opened his mouth and I thought he intended to burn me to a crisp. Instead his tongue came out and he licked me. Tasting. "Strange," he said. "Gross." I wiped my cheek with the sleeve of my shirt. It occurred to me he was speaking like Abernathy did, with his mouth and not in my mind like Lirle. Perhaps speaking aloud was a skill that came with age. The first dragon pushed through the trees, causing them to snap and break. Then he pounded his tail on the ground several times in a rhythmic fashion while lifting his head. He ro
Seven Magics Academy Ondror's Magic
Lirle took to the air, her attention on the direction where the sound came from. Her whole body trembled. "You're frightened. What is it?" I asked, fighting my own nerves. Lirle's eyes bore into mine and her terror shone brightly as she said: We're too late. The Ondror's magic is upon us. Listen carefully. A dragon's magic comes from the soul. Our greatest weapon is using the weaknesses of our enemy against them by showing them what they fear most. She flew over to the stream before coming back to me and pointing with one claw. Lirle asked: Do you see the soul magic coming?I followed her gaze and squinted until I saw the blackness, traveling like a deadly mist through the trees, and heading right for us. "Can we outrun it?" She shook her head and said: No. It's everywhere. She spun in a circle and I followed her. Lirle was right. It was coming from every direction, like we had a homing beacon on us. She met my gaze and said: You see? Whatever happens, whatever you experience o
