Wala akong muwang kung ano ang nangyayari. It's like everything just snap out and seemed like nothing happened. They just sent me to a room.

I searched the whole room. Ah, Rustic theme, a nature inspired room, the design are drawn from raw organic materials, like stone and wood, it creates warm gesture, inviting spaces that feel earthy. The ceiling are barnwood-clad and branch-inspired chandelier juxtapose against the sleek, polished chrome canopy bed, while a flokati rug adds softness and style underfoot.

Then my eyes settled on the bookshelf that doesn't fit. I walked towards it, there are a lot of books in wizardry, wolf pack history and the whole story why this academy was made. From huge book to a pocket book, I grab the pocket book so I can read it anywhere.

I was about to read it when someone knocked and open the door, I quickly hid the book on my pocket. "Mademoiselle? The leaders are waiting for you." The woman who's wearing dark long sleeved dresse like in medieval times said. "You may wear this." as she handed me a dress then a boots which suddenly appeared in her hands. Was that a magic? I guess I have a lot to learn. She turned around and leave.

I changed my clothes to what the woman handed me. I pulled the strings of the corset and tie it.

I stared the clothes in my bed, the question the hits my brain was, Do every women wore this type of clothing in this place? It seemed like all things in here are classical. A magical and mysterious place indeed.

Walking in the corridor I walked pass a room that is full of glowing organisms, It's beautiful. I was about to enter when I heard a foot steps.

"There you are, My Lady" I turned and see who called. It is the man with round spectacles. "You really are a maiden, My Lady." he say. "Was that a complement? Thanks I guess." i replied to what he said.

He extended his left hand while bowing. It seemed like he's asking me for a dance. I gladly accepted his hand. He then escorted me to a huge door, it suddenly opened.

"GREETINGS TO OUR LADY MCDELL" the person in the platform say in bold voice that is enough to be heard from where I stand.

I thought it is a like a court hearing but it is not.

A huge magical classical style party was behind the huge door.

"Come here at the platform Lady" the man in the platform say.

The man with round spectacles guided me to the platform. As we walked to the platform, I randomly whispered "Where is Vince?". He just looked at me like nothing is important than this event to be done. He then left me in the platform.

A woman walk towards me. "Lady, show her your palm." the person in the platform said.

I handed my palm and she holds it like reading something.

"A WIZARD AND SHIFTER" the woman shouted as she raised her head. All the people inside the hall bow "WE ALL, WELCOME YOU LADY MCDELL" they said in synchronize.

The woman's hair was black and her eyes were green, I guess she's 40's. She clasped my face with her palm "You are as pretty as your Mother. " she then said.

She bow and excuse herself.

I am dumb founded to what she said, but I know she knew me and my history.

I walked down from the platform.

"Lady Mcdell." I turned to where the voice was coming, the man with deep baritone voice was calling me. "Forgive my impudence, I forgot to introduce myself. Aerum Almari the administrator of the academy." He bow. "You will go with Calyx, my son. He will be your guide in this whole Academy" He added. Ah, so the man with round spectacles was his Son.

Before he cauld leave "Where is Vince?" I asked, but he just smiled and turned his back on me. Is this party too important, why they can't let my bestfriend come?

"My lady" the man with round spectacles called me. I just reply with 'hmm'. He then extend his left hand"May I have this dance? " he asked me. I accepted his hand . Then the music just change into Argentinian Tango. He escorted me to the dance floor as the people give a wide space in the middle.

He then put his hand on my waist and hold my other hand. He swayed me while he calmly talk "A wizard and shifter huh" he said with sarcasm. "I don't know what that is" I reply in wonder. "I thought you were dead, Alexa" a phrase that seemed a lot to process. "Well, hello... I'm alive and kicking." I reply in sarcasm. "Naiintindihan mo ako?" pagsasalita ko ng ibang lingwahi.
"Oo" he noded, and sway me again. "How, paano?" I asked like I haven't heard a persona here in Academy speak another language, I have heard his father though. "We study all languages." he blankly say. He swing me and then he drew me near him. "Lo siento, te tire con fuerza" he said, it means sorry I pulled you hard. "No te preocupes" I replied, it means no worries . "So, I don't have to put you on studying languages" he then said. "I guess" a short reply that came out from my mouth. "You never came at those invitation, for a decade" he said. "Two decades to be exact." I camly say "There seven hundred thirty black ink letters and one red ink that made me think deep, then Vince convinced me to follow it." I said in detail.

I glance at the crowd, they we're intently looking at our dance. Seemed like we give effort on dancing. Then some manage to catch our dance. Then the music turned into a Classical Romance. Which made the crowd gathered in pair.

"Where is Vince?" I asked. He then swing me and dissappeared from the crowd. I guess I need to investigate myself. Wherever you are Vince Arcelle I will find you. May all the deities forgive me for not considering your safety. I hope you are safe. I will never forgive myself if something bad happened to you. I can't lost my one and only family. I would kill anyone if I have to, just to find you.
