I had everything that a person could ask for - a loving family, wealth, respect in the kingdom of Kshatra Gadh and engagement to the love of my life.
But life had other plans, I lost everything within the blink of an eye. Everyone left me and I was...

The Mage Association
I just came to know that my uncle is the head of the association. Wow! This day is definitely full of surprises.
"I want you to meet Bhargav. He used to pester me all the time when Subhadra's letters arrived, which mentioned you. I think, you should definitely meet him. He was always curious about you."
I nodded because I didn't know how to respond. I finished my food and we made our way to my uncle, aunt Shobha's husband, the father of the twins and apparently the head of the association. Brilliant!
We headed towards what I presume was the main unit of Soma Sangha. A man was standing there with his back towards us. He was holding a peculiar staff and he seemed to have a really powerful aura. Something was telling me that I should not mess with him. Devansh and Devika were standing beside him.
"Bhargav, there is someone I want you to meet."
He turned around and said, "Ah! Subhadra's daughter - Laxita! Correct me if I am wrong."
"Ji mahoday, mai hi Laxita hu."
("Yes sir, I am Laxita")
He came forward and patted my head.
And then, to my surprise, he smiled and said, " Don't call me sir. I'm your uncle. And I want to welcome you to Soma Sangha. I hope you will be comfortable here."
"Thank you...uncle"
"Yes, yes, good. Devansh and Devika briefed me about your situation and I want to apologize to you that we didn't do anything earlier.
But now, tell me how can I help you? What do you want us to do? Take revenge on Vijesh? Earn your family wealth back? Or any other wishes? Your wish is our command."
I want someone to pinch me. Is this for real? The head of the association is apologizing to me. You'll don't understand, this man is the most powerful mage right now and even catching a glimpse him is really difficult. He's as powerful as 10 high-ranking mages. And here I am, in front of him and he's asking for my wishes. Just...wow! I hope that I don't faint after these many surprising events today.
"Actually, I have a request..."
"Go on."
"I want to learn magic. But my powers are concealed and I need your help."
"That's, not very difficult. You can start the training by as early as tomorrow if you want to. But you've travelled a long distance so rest for a few days. Build your strength and then you can start. As for your powers, I can lift the ban on them right now."
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared from his staff and pierced me. I thought it would be painful but all I was feeling was a tickling sensation.
"There, all done. Shobha, I think you would want to train her so I am leaving it to you. You can start whenever you want."
