I can feel their eyes on me as I walked into the Exam area.
"Who is she?"
"Why does she have those piercings?"
"Look the birds aren't going to her."
"How strong is she?"
"Another commoner?"
I scoffed at them.
"Does it even matter if I'm a...
"Gosh, why isn't she getting up yet?" Sister Agnes asked out loud.
"AKANE! IF YOU DON'T GET UP RIGHT NO-"
"She's not here Sister Agnes."
"Huh?" Sister Agnes turned and asked.
"She left a few minutes after she woke up." The child said.
"Well, do you know when she woke up, Ary?" Sister Agnes asked her.
Ary nodded quickly, "Yeah, she woke up around five."
"Five? Do you know where she is?" Sister Agnes asked.
"Hmm, no not really," Ary answered.
Sister Agnes sighed and patted Ary on the head, "Well, thanks for telling me. Now go and eat some breakfast, ok?"
Ary nodded again and ran off into the dining room.
"Now, where could that silly girl be?"

Deep inside the forest there sat a red-headed girl meditating.
She looked very content; at peace.
Suddenly the girl opened her eyes and stood; her right arm extended.
She took in a deep breath and shuffled her feet apart, and punched her fist forward.
"ARGGHHHH!" The girl yelled out an intense amount of fire came out of her fist.

However, the fire attack only left a tree slightly scorched.
"Huh, I need to work on that more..." The girl said to herself.
"Akane!"
"Akane! Are you out here?!"
"I'm over here!" Akane yelled out.
"Huff, I finally.. found.. you..." Ary said tiredly all the running she did make her completely out of breath.
Akane raised a brow at the little girl, " Why were you looking for me?"
Ary who eventually caught her breath looked up at Akane and sighed, "Sister Agnes is looking for you to get you ready for the grimoire ceremony later on today!"
Akane's eyes widen and she quickly grabs Ary's hand, "I can't believe I forgot. Come on Ary let's go." Both girls ran out of the forest hand in hand.
***
"How many times do I have to tell you!" Sister Agnes yelled at her.
Akane's eyes were looking anywhere, but Sister Agnes.
"I keep telling you that whenever you leave tell someone! Why don't you listen!?" Sister Agnes asks her.
"Ary already saw me leave and she told you, didn't she?" Akane asked.
"That's not the point Akane! Yes, Ary saw you leave, but you didn't tell her where you were going! And the poor child ran around town to find you!"
Akane sighed, "Ok, I'll tell you next time I leave."
"That's not what... Ok, I'm just glad you're alright." Sister Agnes said, pulling the girl into a warm hug.
Akane let herself sink into the hug and wrapped her arms around Sister Agnes. "You, don't need to worry that much, I can take care of myself," Akane told her with a small laugh.
"Yeah, yeah now shut up and bathe you stink."
***
"Do you think you'll get a good grimoire?" Ary asked while jumping on Akane's bed.
"I'm not sure. I might not even get one Ary." Akane shrugged
"Well, I think you're gonna get a really strong one," Ary exclaimed and plopped on the bed.
"And why do you think that?" Akane asked now combing out her red hair.
"Because Big sister Akane is strong!" Ary yelled confidently.
"Come on children! It's time to go to the ceremony!"
"We're coming!" Akane yelled out.
"Come on Ary let's go." Akane grabbed the young girl's hand and made their way downstairs.

"You all have gathered here today for your very own grimoire." The Keeper started.
Many of the young teens cheered happily while some just nodded.
"This may be the first time being in here, or second, some may have been here numerous of times. And I'm glad that those who have been here more than once didn't give up. I'm glad that you are very determined to get a grimoire." The keeper spoke with comforting words.
"Now, what you have all been waiting for, a grimoire!" The Keeper yelled out arms spread open.
Suddenly hundreds of grimoires flew from the shelves, all ranging in different sizes and thicknesses.
Once a grimoire landed in the hands of its owner you could hear all the excitement the young teens gave. Though some people weren't exactly thrilled to get theirs.
"Wow, look how wide mine is!"
"Ha, but mine is thicker!"
"Finally! My very own grimoire."
"I promise to learn all I can and have my grimoire filled with new spells!"
"Why is mine so small!"
"Most of the pages are blank!"
However, when Akane received hers all chatter in the room stopped.
Once the grimoire landed in Akane's hands it glowed a fiery light. Akane shielded her eyes with her other hand, but it was just too bright.
The Keeper gasped when she saw what grimoire Akane received. "It's the Phoenix Hell!" The Keeper shouted in amazement. The room was immediately filled with words of disbelief.
"The Phoenix Hell!"
"I thought it was lost!?"
"It's the same one the Phoenix Empress used!"
"How did she get it!?"
Akane looked at the grimoire in her hand and raised it high making everyone silent.
"With this grimoire, I will become the next Empress!"
