ARTEMIS ACADEMY

TRIANDA (τριάντα)

Levington's Point of View

"Block them!" I ordered the others when I saw a couple more guys with a black cape kept on coming.

Serafina quickly created a fireball and blasted it to the enemies before we saw a horrendous smoke coming from the burnt bodies. I looked away and started hitting the other enemies.

"What the hell?" Madison said and suddenly teleported at my back.

I didn't dare to look at what she was doing because I have something to take care of too. Miss Farrah told us that if it's possible, we shouldn't use our Art's because we will be tired so easily. She said that we can first defeat half of the enemies through hand to hand combat.

"Duck!" Madison said and threw a punch at the guy in front of me. He quickly fell flat on the ground and I nodded at Madison before fighting again.

Serafina's Point of View

"What?" I asked Lucas who was mumbling something from afar.

I rolled my eyes in frustration and started throwing jabs on the enemies. Whatever he has to say, it can wait. We're currently in the middle of a war for goodness' sake. Can't he at least wait until it is over?

"Aah!" an enemy started running towards me with a dagger on his hand.

I stared at him. Poor him. It'll be his last day seeing this beautiful magic world. I hope he rests in peace for eternity.

I grabbed his hand woth a dagger and flipped him before grabbing his head and tilting him unconscious. At least I still didn't use any weapon. It'll be so bloody if I did.

"Need backup on Position #3!" someone from the leaders shouted and I quickly ran to where the said position was.

Position #3 is assigned in being in the westward side of the forest. The people from Apollo were mostly in there. It was their given position for this war.

"Are you okay?" I asked a warrior when I saw blood dripping on his wrists. He must have been cut by an enemy.

"I'm fine, Serafina." he said and I smiled at him before running again.

I was assigned together with Lucas and Richie to be in the east side of the forest. Why do they need back up in the west side anyway? It's making me run all the way.

"You're here." Fiona exclaimed when she saw me and some warriors at the back.

"What happened?" I asked when I saw her barely catching her breath.

"They have witches, Serafina. We fought almost half of them but we're now tired." Fiona informed and I looked in front to see the witches she was talking about.

"Stay here and get healed. Tyler is with you, right?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Tyler's at Position #1. Queen Nestle had called for him." she said and was about to fall. I quickly caught her and helped her stand up.

Were the witches from Eleanor's side that powerful? Fiona is a royal and she posseses something much powerful than ordinary Art's. How come she's this exhausted already?

"I'll take care of her." Mrs. Edwards suddenly appeared and grabbed Fiona from me.

I looked at her in surprise and bowed a bit to show respect. She was now treating Fiona so I guess I can now leave them be. I left them by the tree trunk and started fighting the witches off. They weren't as powerful as I thought they would be. Fiona must have fought off with the strongest one of them.

"Sorry, I was late." Lucas said and started helping me with the black witch.

Madison's Point of View

When will this end?

I quickly did a turning kick and hit the guy on the face with my heavy boots. He slowly cascaded to the ground before lying flat on it. I looked back and saw someone approaching with a dagger.

"Why are you so many?" I asked when I got the chance to lock the guy with my arms.

I did what was needed to do and went to where Queen Nestle was.

"Aren't you going to give my daughter back? Your team is slowly decreasing, Eleanor." Queen Nestle provoked and smirked proudly at the root of all this problem.

Eleanor only stared at her and started fixing her cape. She fixed it for a couple more minutes before her familiar smile appeared yet again.

"You all looked so cute back there. Didn't know fighting was just like a joke for you. You looked like bunch of kids fighting off bullies. Never gonna win."

I looked at her. Why was she even trying so hard to get the throne? No one ever succeeded in doing that. As if she could make the change. Be the change the dark side has been wanting for years.

She'll probably just end up just lik the others who attempted to steal the throne. Dead. For me, she's the one who seems to misunderstood the royals. Does she think she can beat us with just a few dark warriors and some witches or anything? She must be joking me.

"So you still want to fight? Is that what you're implying, Eleanor?" Queen Nestle asked again which made Eleanor raise her eyebrows.

"You have changed a little bit, Nestle." she commented and picked the leaf that landed on her shoulders.

"I did? In what way?" Queen Nestle played along and I couldn't help but be engrossed in their conversation.

They were only spouting words to each other but they sounded so interesting to me. It's like I'm watching a debate in calm words.

"You're talking a lot more now, Nestle. Before, you just kept on fighting. No talking involved. The human world must have changed you."

"It did. Want me to accompany you there? There are loads of wonderful things at the human world. So interesting for an ambitious woman like you."

"I'm not just ambitious, Nestle. I'm a successful ambitious type of woman. I just don't talk and sit. I talk and make it into action."

"Oh really? I'm impressed. Let's see if that action of yours will really turn you to a successful ambitious woman." Queen Nestle said and white light started surrounding her.

Oh my goodness! Is this the magical transformation of the Queen? I have heard that royalties has something called transformation. If they do that, it means that their power is slowly increasing to its maximum level thus giving them advantage on fights. It was also said that when transformation happens, their clothes changes into royal ones.

Am I going to see it in personal and for the first time? I guess this war wasn't bad after all.
