The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 26: Mysterious and Dangerous

The curtains sway gently in the wind as the rays of the sun enter the classroom where Elyse is still staying. It's already been a month since she became a member of the Student Council and there's nothing too much interesting in her life but becoming a normal student who only does her homework, sleeps, and repeats.

The words that Maria said to her were imprinted on Elyse's gentle heart. She understands very well that she mustn't forget the reason why she entered the Academy. Although she can enter the Academy because she has talent, prejudice about Elyse being Aniya's Descendant is blocking her dream away and only Maria fights those blocks in her path.

She's thankful for Maria, but sometimes she thinks if this is still right. She's having doubts about herself. She entered the Academy to finish her mission, but somehow deep inside her heart. She couldn't reject the feeling of being attached to the people who especially took care of her.

Eli, Arrow, and Arbor are the first friends she has made since she was a kid. Especially Eli who's always bright as the sun and Arrow bubbly as always. And Arbor would always take care of her as a brother.

She wanted those memories to last long in her heart. But maybe that would be impossible for her.

She missed her family after having such long thoughts so she decided to pick her paper and pen and starts writing a letter to her family.

"To my dearest Mother,

Are you all faring well? Don't worry about me, I'm living the life that I wanted. Even though I have been in such difficulties, I thank Mother and Father for still guiding me. Even if I cannot see you all, for now, I promise you we will meet again. Mother, the weather here feels the same. Since I entered the Academy, everything's been difficult for me but no worries, I'm doing good now thanks to Eli, Arrow, and Arbor who became my first friend here.

The food here looks luxurious too, even the snacks and drinks here that I would always think about your home cooking, Mother. Recently too, I joined a contest. I remember that you would always want me to join the random contests because you have full trust in my magical prowess. But I neither join any of those events you chose for me. We entered the ancient Dimension and I have woken my powers as Lucia's Descendant. Which made me ask, Mother, are we truly Aniya's Descendant? "

Elyse paused and glance outside the window in the classroom after the class ended an hour ago. Elyse stared at the beautiful setting sun which reminds her of her father.

She looked back at the paper again and starts to write.

"Father, are you faring well?

I miss your laugh, Father. The times when were still together, and the times when you would always tease me when I was still a kid. I miss those days when I am still ignorant of the world. I miss the way we all laugh together at the dining table. Though were poor and were mistreated by the people back in our hometown before we live in the countryside — we're still a loving family.

I miss you so much, I miss everyone so much, father. Don't worry about me, I will do everything I can to reunite us again. This time Father, I will protect our family."

Elyse sighed and glanced at the sun once again. The sun is slowly setting down until the sun is no longer to be seen and it is replaced by the beautiful full moon. It isn't as bright as in the past, but the moon is still gorgeous as before.

She starts to write again.

"Little Brother, how are you?

Are you eating well in there? My little brother, Luke, please take care of yourself and don't tease Mother and Father too much. I'm worried about you as your older sister and you must be healthy. Wait for me, Luke. We will be reunited again."
