Sparks of Wind

Many many years ago, in ancient history there once was an empire named Qingce. The people of this era fought with swords, spears, and bows. An era where mages existed but were rarely found. One in a hundred people internally possess mana energy but many who possess mana energy can't unleash it nor use it. In a small village from Qingce, a soldier in training there lived. Sylvanna is an amazing weapon wielder. She was a prodigy at the age of 11. She was praised for her beauty, strength, intelligence, and her sense to quickly adapt in battle. Sylvanna's a 20-year-old woman who's cheerful and kind in and out though she might be weak and merciful looking she's a beast on a battlefield. She had beautiful long wavy silver-blue hair and Azure eyes. She started earlier than most in the Obelion Training Academia, the best school in Qingce. Sylvanna entered the halls of Academia and went to classes and training. She topped her class and scored the highest earning respect from the headmaster.

"This Academia truly is a wonderful place..." She said while walking down the garden. 'What the? What's that noise?' The girl thought as she quickly ran to the source of the sound. A boy who looked about my age was being stomped on and pushed around. "Hah?! You won't do my homework? Do you want any more beating huh, Atalus?!" A guy with red hair and gray eyes was kicking and stomping on some guy on the floor. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Sylvanna quickly stepped in between the bully and the boy fell to the ground. "Hah! What are YOU doing? Go play some dolls or something little girl." The red-headed guy mocked Sylvanna. What Sylvanna hates the most is people belittling her because she's a girl. Sylvanna's face darkened in anger.

"Hey Li Shu, let's go! We shouldn't get involved with her! Don't you know who that woman is??" A friend of the so-called bully, Li Shu spoke up trying to drag his friend away. "Why Yanxiao?! Who does she think she is huh? Tch, girl's feeling tough" Li Shu scolded Yanxiao. "Fine! Don't listen to me I warned you! That's Sylvanna the top student in the Academia" Yanxiao angrily snapped back then quickly left. Li Shu's face paled hearing this. "Y-You're Sylvanna?!" He quickly looked at the angered lady in front of her. She had unsheathed her weapon. Sylvanna had her sword in hand intending to protect the guy behind her. "Please! I'm sorry and I won't bother you anymore!" Li Shu begged the girl. Sylvanna had calmed down "Fine as long as none of you ever bother him again." The girl sent a skin-crawling glare at the man kneeling before her. Li Shu nodded and ran out after Yanxiao.

The girl sighed at the unexpected event. She turned around and stared at the boy who was bullied. Sylvanna thought the boy was the handsome type, he had black hair with teal tips and golden yellow eyes. "Are you all right?" Sylvanna helped the boy up and he dusted himself before answering. "Yes... Thank you" He was about to leave but She grabbed his wrist and he paused looking back at her. "Wait! What's your name?" The girl let him go and asked him as she sheathed back her sword. "Uhm... I am Atalus." He answered her. "You have a beautiful name Atalus, would you like to be friends? Come, follow me let's go heal your wounds" She told him. Atalus answered hesitantly "Thank you... But uhm are you sure you want to be friends with the likes of me?". His statement made the girl halt as she looked back brows furrowed at Atalus "Of course, why not?". The girl shrugged and continued walking out of the garden while he followed after her, "I... have the lowest rankings at the Academia. No one wanted to be friends with me thinking that if they get close to me, they'll get infected with my supposed 'weakness in battle'" Atalus sadly told her head down, afraid she'll just leave like the others. Sylvanna smiled "Then I'll help you! I, the top student of the Academia will help boost Atalus up top!" She grinned and shifted her head to look at Atalus. "Now that that's solved you have no reason to decline my offer of friendship." Atalus' eyes widened and smiled. He's never been this happy before.
