Astral Wizard Academy

Prologue

"No!! Please! Forgive me!" A woman in her mid-30s pleaded with tears in her eyes.

She was kneeling and begging the wizards surrounding her with cold gazes.

"Shut up!" A woman wearing a vintage lolita dress yelled and slapped her face making her fall and kiss the cold dirt.

Meanwhile, a little girl couldn't stop crying while covering her mouth while watching the scene. She was hiding her tiny body behind a tree, far from them, but could still hear what they're saying.

"M-Mom..." The little girl muttered with tears streaming from her eyes while watching her mother being assaulted by the group of higher-ranked wizards.

"Lucinda! How could you do this to me?! I'm your sister!" The woman who was forcefully kneeling by the other wizards shouted while shooting dagger-like eyes at her sister who slapped her.

"We're just sisters by blood." Lucinda stated with a smirk, slapping her again.

"Dark wizards are our enemy! How could you have a child who has the blood of a dark wizard?!" A man in his 30s wearing a cloak stated with disgust on his face.

"For making such an unforgivable sin, you'll be punished by death." An old man in his 40s coldly said and raised his hand, casting a spell.

The little girl who was still hiding froze in her feet. Her streaming tears stopped as she helplessly watched the old wizard chant a spell. Then, screams were heard as her mother burned in red-hot flames. Her flaming body shed light on the night and the darkness of the forest.

She couldn't utter a word as she watched her own mother being burned. She felt like her heart had stopped beating, and her mind went completely blank.

"Let's go find her kids and kill them after this."

She snapped back to reality when she heard what her aunt said. With trembling knees, she forcefully gripped herself together and quietly ran away to their house.

Panting and sweating, she immediately woke her three-year-old younger brother from sleeping.

"Spade wake up!"

She forcefully pulled him who eventually woke up. He yawned and looked at his older sister sleepily.

"We don't have time! Let's go!" She immediately pulled and dragged him with her.

Spade looked at his sister in confusion while their tiny feet were running at full speed.

"Mama?"

She felt like someone choked her when she heard him asking for their mother. She didn't answer and continued running through the woods while her tiny hands gripped onto her litter brother's hand.

"There they are!"

She felt even more scared when she heard someone shout behind them.

"Run faster Spade!"

They both didn't turn back even though they heard multiple yells behind them and just ran even faster.

"S-Seraphine..."

She looked at him without stopping from running. The tears and fear in his brother's face made her even more terrified, but she kept toughening her chest.

""Vora kyl thryn!"

They suddenly stopped on running the moment Lucinda cast a spell on them. Seraphine's cold sweat dripped and tried to move her body but failed.

"You fools! You think you can get away from us?!"

Horror embraced Seraphine's body as she feared for her brother's safety. The tears that she kept on holding back fell out of fear, sadness, anger, and agony.

Evil laughter coming from their mother's sister could be heard, as well as their footsteps. They heard someone cast a spell, and the spell that had been cast on them, which made them freeze on place was remove.

Spade fell to his feet, shaking and crying in fear. His sister immediately went to him and hugged him tight while staring at the two wizards in front of her.

"Why are you doing this to us?!" Seraphine cried and hugged him even tighter.

Lucinda let out a menacing laugh before smirking.

"You have dark wizard blood flowing in your veins. What a disgrace for us light wizards." She stated in disgust.

"Your mother did a terrible sin, and you Seraphine, are the fruit of that sin." Said the dark-haired man in a cloak without any hint of emotion.

"Don't worry, you'll soon be reunited with your mother." Lucinda stated and grinned.

A sword suddenly appeared in her hand, ready to slash them. Seraphine covered her little brother's body with her own and shut her eyes tight.

"Serith var thal!" A man with silver hair suddenly appeared and chanted a spell with a wand in his hand that made the two wizards shout and blew away.

Hearing that unfamiliar voice and groans, Seraphine opened her eyes and saw a silver-haired man in his 30s in front of them. His back was facing her while his sharp gaze stared at the two wizards.

"Argh!!" Lucinda yelled in shock while regaining herself from the impack.

"Who are you?!" The man in a cloak yelled in annoyance after getting up as he raised his wand.

"Terrus Elevare!"

Seraphine's eyes widened in fear while staring at the rocks that were flying in their direction.

But the silver-haired man just smirk before chanting a spell that turned the rocks into bubbles.

"Someone who will end your pitiful lives." His cold and dark voice sent chills down their spine. "Grathun Volturum!" He chanted and thunder struck the two wizards who shouted in pain.

He chanted a spell once more, and a portal appeared in front of them. He turned and looked at the terrified kids.

"Let's go."

Seraphine immediately moved and pulled her brother who was still sobbing and they went inside the portal with the mysterious man who saved them from death.
