The Land: Anarchy

Chapter 49: The Gifted

Meanwhile in the Andeenan Academy, Tana, the daughter of Jennifer, was excelling in all her classes. She was, as expected, a gifted mage. With only being 15, she had already mastered all fire element spells, which goes well with her name which translates to 'fire'. She also mastered most of the spells in the spell book, which was astonishing given that no mage before besides royalty had mastered spells that quickly. With the heir to the throne being only 10, his fame was nowhere near as Tana's.

News quickly spread as the mentors and elders took her into the wisdom room. The students had no idea what happened. Inside the room, Tana was asked how she could master all the spells so quickly. The mentors and elders had been informed by the queen that she is to be protected and watched at all times, though she must not know about this at all costs.

"I like reading them a lot and my mom helped a lot when I ask how to perform the spells. Yeah, I'm a very curious person." Tana explained to the elders.

"Hmm.... right, What do you do in your free time?" A mentor asked.

"I read the spell books and I practice. That is all I do, Hehe." Tana giggled.

"Very well, thank you Miss Tana. You are dismissed." An elder said.

Tana always liked nature, she usually snuck outside of the academy and went to the woods outside of the mountain. There, she practiced her magic. She bursts fire at the nearby empty field but she didn't burn or set anything on fire, she instead floated the fire right above the field. Later on she danced with the water, the water followed her movement, it circled around her body as she performed yoga.

"What the hell Ande?" Eena was shocked.

"No time to explain, all we need to do now is prepare for battle. Zuno already warned us, but I believe we are not ready to face the demon king." Ande warned. He now had a long hair and beard and looked older than his age.

"So? What? We just halt his advance?" Wize asked. Ande nodded. "Well this won't be easy." He continued.

-----------------

As Tana was resting by a tree, she fell asleep as the wind breezed around her. She then dreamt of Jennifer screaming and darkness was all around her. Tana woke up shocked and took a deep long breaths. "Damn it, again?" She thought to herself..

She went back to her dorm and jumped on her bed. Her roommate, Aqua was also in the room reading a fairytale.

"You alright?" Aqua asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. The dreams happened again." Tana replied.

Aqua knew that Tana was special and that she was important to the academy, so she didn't ask questions about her dreams.

"You should probably ask the elders about the dreams. You have been having the same dream over and over again right? It has to be something." Aqua suggested.

"No, I'm alright. I'm sure they're just nightmares." Tana thought otherwise.

A knock was heard from the door, a mentor came asking Tana to come with her. Tana followed the mentor into an empty classroom. The mentor then locked the door and stood in front of it.

"Something wrong Miss Feull?" Tana was scared.

"I need to tell you something very important and no one must know about this." Miss Feull said.

"Alright what is it? You're kind of scaring me." Tana replied.

"Oh sorry, didn't mean to. Okay, so this is going to be hard to believe but a great evil has risen to the realm." Feull started.

"Well that's not exactly new now is it?" Tana replied sarcastically.

"No, I mean the lord of the darkness had risen once more. Last time he appeared was during the great war and was eventually killed by your mother. He probably wants revenge on his previous death. You see where I'm going now?" Feull explained.

"She will go after my mother and kill her.... Wait... How do you all this?" Tana became suspicious.

"Well, now that you ask. I'm one of his followers and my job here is to eliminate you." Fuell began enchanting spell on her hands. "Well figured I can tell you this so that when you die, you know that your mother will join you soon." She threw Tana and pinned her against the wall. Tana struggled and screamed as she couldn't move.

"Don't worry, I'll say that you die horribly when I go after your mother next." Fuell began choking Tana.

Tana kept on struggling as she tried to move her hand to be able to cast a spell. She then was able to burn Fuell to stop her from choking her. Tana fell down as Fuell stepped back to extinguish the fire. Tana got up and threw fireballs at Fuell. Fuell used water to shield from the fire. Fuell was able to manipulate the air and the wind so she once again threw Tana at the wall. Tana was injured, badly. She couldn't get up. Fuell then slowly sucked the air out of Tana's lungs. Because her oxygen was low, she fainted.

The door burst open as the elders enter and immediately killed Fuell. Tana was lucky to be alive.

-----------------

Tana woke up and her mother was sitting next to her bed reading a book. She moaned a bit and looked at her mother.

"Oh my gods, you're finally awake!" Jennifer was thrilled.

"How long have I been out?" Tana asked.

"A few days now almost a week." Jennifer replied. "I came straight over after I heard the news."

"Is Fuell..." Tana said.

"She is dead, killed by the elders. No need to worry about her anymore." Jennifer made clear.

"The dreams mom, I have had a lot of dreams about you lately. And it was all about how you were consumed by darkness. The dark lord..." Tana mumbled, she was still weak.

"Sush now, take your time. I'm safe and you're safe, that's all that matter now. For what lies ahead will be discussed some other time. Rest now, I will tell you what happened at the wall and what really happened back during the Great War." Jennifer said as she tucked Tana back into bed.
