Chapter 3 :an opening.
In the same time as these events , in the kingdom of  Delenia , Delenia's city,
There was a village that was only a few kilometers away from the big city.
A girl with her family lived in the edge of the forest, that girl name was Reiza she was having a good time with her family , then her mom sent her to bring water from the river that was inside the forest not really far away.
Reiza went carrying the bucket , as she arrived it was so dark only the moon light shows a few things , she begins to sing so at least she don’t feel scared ,
she fill the bucket then heard someone's steps behind her!
She quickly turns ! but no one was there, she sighed a relief but then! She heard some explosions! It was from the same direction to her house , Reiza quickly ran to see what happened!
As soon as she reached the house it was on fire! She got shocked as her tears fell,
"aww, poor Reiza.. they couldn’t survive the fire or the explosion.. I am so sorry for your lose.." said the guy as he smirked , Reiza looked at him then she begins to shout and tried to hit him, her small hands manage to hit him but it was like tapping on his chest. She fell, her breath became heavy , as she rest her body on the floor the guy rolled Reiza to her back , then he set and leaned to her face and kissed her cheek. Then she stopped breathing. He carried her. And went into a black hole he created.
…
Back to parish (in kingdom of douglas).
Theodore was standing on the center of a circle room it was the meeting room, four judges were there , including Theodore.
Judge Huga truss vampire judge (he is a quite person he only talk when there is something necessary, and a good one with big white heart.)
Judge Urashel spirits world judge , (she is a cute woman she looks in her 30 but no one really knows her age. Confidant , understanding and strong).
Finally judge Vladimir Madison, judge of the dragonoid
As he was talking he introduce the 5 kids to the new members that they will join them , they were a guy and a girl.
Both of them seem familiar to kylee.. she kept thinking where did she saw them before.
"so , this is Odin Black and Reiza. They will be joining you , they are experts in defending others." Said Theodore.
"it is very nice to meet you guys, and you miss Rosamylia Nightcryst." His face always tells that he is about to murder everything.. but no one really knows what is he really thinking.
Reiza bowed and smiled "I am Reiza , it's nice to meet ya, hope we can get along quickly~"
After that they begins to discuss plans, Lovilass Huga's first son, suggested that they may go in their first mission to save the white mage Arya valentine. She was once with Lovilass in a mission they tried to do anything to save at least one person from the royal blood. But it ended up preventing Lovilass from the crystal kingdom and it kept Arya in without even getting out.
"I am sorry Lovilass, but I guess Odin got something to say.. can we hear it?" said Urashel.
"thanks my lady , well, as I have a little knowledge about the black magic. We can create a portal to the past. Also as you know all , jalbatorex is trying to destroy the history of Nightcryst family so he can replace them with himself and his family. , so in the very first beginning of  Nightcryst empress Stephania , that time, he might be there. But not the real one—" as Odin was about to say it "a copy of himself by the fake crystal!" Amy continues!
They looked at her.
"how did you know?" Vladimir asked.
"i..dreamed about that! C-can I see the future?" said Amy as she looked at Theodore.
"you've inherited this from your father. He is a Quartz crystal." Said Theodore. As she begins to think about it.. Odin continued "that is right, we will go to the past , and save empress Stephania and the kingdom.".
Theodore and Vladimir looked at each other, "what do you think judge Vladimir? What should we do?" said Theodore.
"I say we go with Odin's plan. It will delay Jalbatorex for a while." Said Vladimir ,
"well, I do too, that will let them save the white witch Arya." Said Monarash (Huga's wife , queen of vampires).
After that a long conversation went for how would they do it.
And begins the 2 weeks of training. (after he experienced their first experience)
…..
In the early morning in the training hall , (Theodore's castle)
Light , Jarred , Milla, Kylee and Amy.
Theodore gave them bunch of trainings ,
He begins with light, "so Light , if I wasn’t mistaken?" Light nodded ,
"good, you lack the speed. You will need to run , and try to slay as much as you can from these dolls , in a specific time. You are the leader , you always need to be fast." Said Theodore and patted on his shoulder.
Next Jarred, "Jarred , the mysterious guy.. well, you lack almost nothing , but you may be of help in the heavy works. For example you might help your friends in pushing or toss them in the air when is needed. You know what I mean?" said Theodore. "yes my king." Said Jarred.
"Milla! *Milla almost choke of how he just came front of her* haha, did I scare you? Anyway~, you lack the power. Yet, you can do better things, you are smart. But yet you need to train for heavy strikes. You think you can do that?" said Theodore , "yes sir! I will do it" said Milla.
"the tall monster here, Kylee, I admire your fast kicks and all , but you lack the transformation of the monster you hold inside your body, you know, this power alone is able to end one of Jalbatorex's copy's." as soon as he said that Kylee jumped in joy "is it real!  Can I really do that! Err, I am sorry my king" said Kylee , the rest looked at her in disbelief,
"yeah you can, but you will need so much training , that could take years, but only if you work hard in the first place." Said Theodore.
"uh..ohh.."  she made a sad face.
"and finally , little Amy. You.. ahh.. you can't train.." said Theodore , "wh-what?!" Amy replied , as the rest looked at Theodore in shock ,
"h-how is that? Why I can't-" said Amy then she just stopped talking.
"well, this is a risk. I know how I train you to use your powers. But I say that again it is a risk. It may affect your heart. And so many parts of your body. I will give you time to think. Then you will come to me and tell me what did you decide." Said Theodore. Amy looked down as she nodded.
"don’t lose hope Amy , things is yet to begun, I know that you can figure it out." Said Theodore as he winks~
She got surprised , thinking that he maybe just give her a training.
"as for Odin and Reiza , you two at the good level. You do not need to train. But you will need to be around Amy , to protect her."
Said Theodore , "yes my king." Said Odin, Light wasn’t always good with people he is always worried or to say it right careful, so he glared at Odin , as Odin noticed him and smirked a little, and then they left.
"you seem worried .." said Jarred , " its him. I can't feel anything toward him.. just … space..?" said Light.
Milla came "to be honest I was excited to get to know the guy , he looked cool.. but the girl seemed weird.. should we look out for her ourselves?" said Milla , "one of us should really finish his training and work hard so we can get our eyes on them. Because only god know what he will do. They look familiar.. but I couldn’t recognize them." Said Kylee.
"let's pray that miss Minory would look after her." Said Light.
As Amy walked drowning in deep thinking. Odin starts to ask questions "so ! what are we going to do? Are we going to eat, or~ maybe do home works? " Amy suddenly stopped " homework ! she then starts running to Minory's house, "oh I forgot something, I will be staying at miss Minory's house , are you ok with that? I mean will you pick me up until this two weeks ends?" said Amy , "oh, umm , sure " said Odin , "thank you so much Odin and Reiza , see you tomorrow at the school!" said Amy as she went running to Minory's house.
Minory opened the door before she heard the knocks, "oh! Amy.. you didn’t go for the training?" said Minory , "that what I came for! We need to talk Minory." Said Amy , "umm, can't we delay that for like an hour?" said Minory , "ah! What ? why?" said Amy "well, phubos's family is coming , and we need to discuss things.." said Minory,
"phubos! Oh ok ok, I-I will wait..i need to work , ok I will get changed and go to happiness snacks!" said Amy ,
"ok girl, get inside first." Said Minory , she looked at Amy as she almost fell , she always was clumsy. She sigh and closed the door so she could continue , "oh sorry miss Minory , i will help you with this . I change my mind." Said Amy  , "what ? how fast in changing your mind are you?" said Minory , "forgive me, I am always like this!. So what should I do?" said Amy Minory told a few things to do.
She noticed that Amy can handle things like cleaning and so , but then to think about that why did she come back early from Theodore's training,  as she wanted to ask Amy about the training , the door bells rings.
It made her get nervous , Amy quickly pats on her red dress she wears , and went to open the door . as the tall man smile as soon as he saw Amy "ohh hello!" said the man and then Amy smiled and welcomed them as soon as she saw the last person they stand front of each other as if they saw a ghost!
The last person was jane ! Minory looked at Amy as both of them looked away "what in hell she is doing here?!" Amy thought to herself, as Jane glared and flipped her hair and walks inside it bumped to Amy face "ohffphz"  Amy looked to Minory as she shrugged knowing nothing about her attitude .
"welcome~  I really hope you all having a great time, this is Rosamylia , Rosamylia , this is Raik phubos's father , this is Selena phubos's mother , and lastly Jane ! phubos's sister." Said Minory as Amy still shock of seeing Jane here.. Minory poked her she snapped out the deep thinking she was in, " ah! I am Rosamylia ! it is very nice to see you Mr. and Mrs. Madison!" she bowed , and yet she looked at Jane , but Jane never look at her,
"aww , she look cute ! , why won't you two get to know each other—" said Raik, in the same time Jane and Amy shouted "WHAT"
Selena got surprised , "oh my? What a powerful respond!" ,
"o..k.. calm down you too. You won't get to know each other." Said Minory looking at both the girl.
"I have never imagined destiny would be this cruel…" Amy thought to herself. As they begin to talk , a moments then the door rings again ,
" I guess this is him, please Amy. Can you see it" said Minory ,
Amy nodded as she hurried to the door , "welcome Mr phubos ! " said Amy , phubos smiled to her and patted her head , and took of his jacket , he as always looked tired , he sighs as he tried to take off his shoes , "umm , do you want some hot drink?" said Amy as she lean to see his face as his long bangs can cover his face when he bent , "oh right , yes please , where is minory ?" said phubos , "oh she is with your family in the hall." Said Amy , "w-wait? My family? Is here?" he asked bluntly.
"yess!" said as she went to the kitchen , he quickly untie his shoe and went inside "what a pleasant surprise!" he suddenly become energetic!.
Amy smiled at the sight of them laughing and all , then she overheard "so, what are you going to name your new born baby?" said Jane,
"well , I guess this time I will leave it to Minory"  Minory looked at him , "so you finally give up, haha I will name him Dimitry" said Minory.
"hmm~ not bad, you actually choose a good name." said phubos.
Then without anyone noticing , Amy went upstairs and stayed in her room , as always she begins to think to herself , then suddenly she remembers Theodore's words, "i know you can figure it out"  .
…
In the midnight , Amy still laying on the bed thinking,

The group chat;

Amy : who is still awake?
Kylee : hii ! I am wide awake !
Milla : me 2
Jarred : me 3
Light : I can't sleep.
Amy : I know right!
Jarred : I admit that we couldn’t handle the training today. We failed.
Amy: really! Why?
Milla: ohmygod I don’t know how can explain it! It is TIRING , it took us one hour completely understand what he wanted!
Kylee: I guess light won't come to school tomorrow, he twisted his ankle while running.
Light: kylee!
Amy: omg!
Light: don’t worry, I will be fine.
Kylee: worry about me too Amy , I almost got myself killed today! It is horrible.
Amy:  be careful please..
Light: what did you do today?
Amy : haha! I met Jane at miss minory's house they had family meeting !
Milla: whagsyt
Milla : what!
Kylee: did she did anything mean to you!!!
Amy: no we just stared at each other for like 4 minutes , lol I was so shocked. Don't worry , this day was so random.
Kylee: ughr.. you are right. .
Milla : ok I should go , dad came back , byee
Jarred: need to get some sleep, goodnight.
Kylee: well , I guess me too , bye love birds.
Light: seen at 01:45am.
Amy: good night everyone.
…
In the next day ,
All the teams me at the school all of them looked terrible , Light looked worse,
"oh my god ! I never imagine it would look like this" said Amy
"its ok, I will heal." Said Light, "oh hey buddy , what happened " Tristan asked, as light was talking to Tristan , that day at school was the worst ,
At the break time , only light and Amy went and set on the school yard,
"you should talk to king Theodore, you need rest." Said Amy.
"no , I have to continue that , I will get better," said Light, Amy looked at him in worrisome then she remembered something she has been told.
"I hope this works!" said Amy and with nervousness she stands front of him and both her hands touches light's head and then she leaned her head against light's. Light was surprised as he didn’t move.
She closed her eyes, as she spoke "NOVIS" then her hair and hands glows amethyst.
The two of them opened their eyes in the same time, looking to each other as the pain completely is gone from Light's twisted ankle. As poke inside Amy's heart that made her snapped out his bright blue eyes
"how did you do that?" he asked as he gently press his ankle on the floor.
"I- I read.. I mean I have dreamt about this too..i wasn’t sure of it.. did the pain goes ? completely?" she asked.
"yes.." said Light as he smiled then he rise to his feet completely without the crutch.
Amy laughed as she couldn’t believe she did something for the very first time,
They were cut by Milla "ummm? And what are you too happy about? Have you lost you? I mean set down before you crush your ankle.!"
"no Milla!! I – I helped in healing Light ! I did this!" said Amy jumping in happiness
"w-what! Come at me again! How?" said Milla
"wait ! call Jarred he might know of it!" said Amy "yes ok ok" said Milla as she almost dropped her coffee and phone.
..
"well, amethyst crystals is rare and also having rare abilities, but beware Amy, it may affect you.. your heart" said Jarred.
"oh! Right.. when I finished healing Light , I felt some poke inside my heart , it didn’t hurt so much , but I am sure that will affect me in the far future.." said Amy.
"yes. But try to not use it always. Be careful." Said jarred
"that ability can only use to heal others , you can't heal yourself. How unfair." Said Odin.
Amy sighs , "its ok if I can help! I don’t want to feel as if its not good for me. I will need to take better care of myself." She said.
After a playful conversation between the team.
"times up guys ! we spread , we met at happiness snacks after the training" said Milla
"ah alright ! the last one arrives will feed all the 6 of us hahaha!" said Kylee,
"hmph , sounds good let's see the who will lost to this." Said jarred as he smirked at Kylee.
…
After the school , Amy went back home with marcel and Delina,
"welcome home children, how was your day?" said minory ,
"it was.. good somehow, we ugly 128 decide to make a party and invite all the school to it , it will be amazinggg~" said marcel ,
"mine was good.. nothing special" said Delina, 
"and you Amy?" Minory asked.
"uh! Mine was – I mean I have unlocked one of my abilities! I healed Light's twisted ankle!" said Amy , Minory's jaw dropped open!
"you.. did what?! Wait!! You are too young to use such an ability! Wait did you told Theodore?" said Minory.
"um not yet! I- I was about –" said Amy as Theodore just teleported in front of her, Minory's eyes wide open. "Theodore! Did you-" said Minory as theodore cuts her "I did.. dear Amy do you not feel tired ? or worn out?" asked Theodore he leans as he touches her forehead, "I am fine my king ! I swear.." said Amy ,
"that is weird.. so weird.." Theodore looked at her as he tried to think of it.
That ability could made the one use it worn out , it made them entirely helpless. But Amy felt just fine. Then Minory came fast to Amy and noticed the earing she wears , she wears only one. "where is you other pair of earing?" she asked.
"I have always had this one. Only one." Said Amy.
Theodore looked at Minory as he asked "could she give her that earing? But when?" how am I supposed to know this..?" said  Theodore.
"give me.." Amy slowly looked at Theodore and Minory as they lost in thinking..
"today, I wanted to sleep.. more than anything.. so maybe if I slept.. no no not that I mean ! the other amethyst woman in my dreams keeps come to me and then she give me this earing. She wanted to make two , but then she says " I am so sorry , forgive me." She meant that she couldn’t make a pair of this earing.." as the tear fell from Amy's eyes, "she could have died ! because of that!" said Amy as Theodore and Minory shocked of what she just said
"she give you half of her powers.. the other half would kill her." Theodore said
"she managed to communicate with her by the sleeping crystal.. now that make sense!!" said Minory .
Theodore rushed to Amy and wipes her tears.
"I knew it , you would do such a thing, also your mother is a legendary amethyst crystal, and I choose you without regrets." Said Theodore and he smiled to her.
Amy closed her eyes and smiled. She finally remembered the woman that keeps coming to her dreams and saves her from time to times. Those nightmare and dreams teaches her many things ,
"do you think she could use her rare powers?" Theodore asked Minory.
"please king Theodore , let me try! I really want to do anything I could, I want to fight." Said Amy.
After what Theodore saw in Amy's face , kind of determination and brave. He accept it ,
The three of them teleported in the training hall , Jarred noticed them first.
Theodore called the kids and told them to get up there , Amy walked until she reach the center , "king theodore, what is happening ?" light asked , "see for yourself." Said as he went and teaches Amy how to summon her first crystal sword.
The he walked back.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down ,
As the air begins to move everything around her she closed her eyes and raised her both hands up
As she said "XII system! Orchidia!" as she said those words , and with light moves behind her hair she summoned her first sword ! named Orchidia, it colored in pink and red.
Amy looked at the shining sword in disbelief ,
"did I just summoned this! One of 12 swords!" they were at shock ,
Theodore clapped as he smiled "that is marvelous Amy! You just summoned one of your 12 swords! But , try and hit me with it." Said Theodore as he summoned his mace!
Minory got nervous as she can't do anything in this condition.
Amy startled at what she heard " b-but I –" said then he cuts her ,
"show me what you've got!" said Theodore!
she swings her sword and run toward Theodore and hits him with everything she got !
Theodore barely blocked that hit , "whoa! That’s more than I expected"
Amy stepped back as she let the sword suddenly the red aura around the sword disappeared as the sword crashed and vanished.
Light noticed that she struggles to balance her stance, before she fell , he catches her , "Amy!" said as he looked at her .
" I guess I pushed her to the limit. After all she's still young." Said Theodore , "but she holds the power for 12 sec. I guess a little training would be good." Said Minory
"I am sorry , I will be more careful next time." Said Theodore to Light.
He looked at her and then Theodore took her and went to Minory as they teleport.
"that power of hers. Is ..so huge. My extremities felt cold. I am afraid." Said Kylee
They exchange the glances in shock as they didn’t know what to do.
In Minory's house ,
They stayed at the hall trying to think of simple training that would make that sword summoning to last longer
"I guess , I will travel again. Or I may send Annis" (his wife),
"yes, we don’t have much of time."
Amy was sleeping in her room.
Things begins to get worse.
