The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 11: We never learned, we've been here before.

Staying at the Academy made Elyse's life change. From the moment her parents were attacked by an unknown person, she was saved by Maria — the 4th District Leader.

In order to save her family, she needed the Master's power but the Empire was in turmoil when they found out that the Master went missing. And then another new Master arose to the throne and had complete power to overrule everyone.

The Leaders don't think about making their Master go back for the Empire. They all know that the Master went missing because of the Empire itself. But is it really just about the Empire? Everyone was furious and confused to see their Master one day went missing as if she's running away.

Everyone wanted to know the truth — why did the old Master of Empire go missing? And so, Elyse's mission starts. She was given the mission to find their Master in disguise by attending the Academy and reaching the ranks of the Student Council to have more access. And with also, moving without the new Master's eyes watching them.

But her adjective was added when she saw a picture of the old Master hanging around the Library with a Diary in it. Elyse found out she was Aniya's Descendant through the necklace when she saw her portrait. And when she finally attended the Academy, everyone hated her.

She was treated unwell and everyone stayed away from her.

And then she met the twins; Arrow and Arbor, Artemis's Descendants. They also have the memories everyone's been talking about since the Legend.

"The Memory" is a shard of its certain ancestor. Every Descendant is born with its Ancestor's blood but only a certain person will inherit the Ancestor's memory and awaken their powers. This phenomenon happened when a certain young boy has awoken his powers and inherited the memories of his Ancestor, King Samuel.

Each certain Descendant has one and Arrow and Arbor is one of them.

As the night falls in the Academy, alone in her room. Elyse went to the Balcony to have some fresh air. It's already been a week since she arrived here. For those days, she practiced Archery very well and ace her scores and grades. But whenever she does that, she would always get the comment of "Well, of course, you're Aniya's Descendant anyway" with their mocking smile and voice.

It was unfair for Elyse but she chose to ignore those things. To her, the only goal in her mind is to revive her Family, and find Lucia and if the Goddesses of Threads wanted, Elyse also wants to know her Ancestor.

Elyse gazes at the bright full moon with her head leaning against the wall. Her hair fluttered in the wind while holding gently the necklace to her neck.
