“Happy Birthday Leona!”

“Happy Birthday Princess!”

“Happy birthday!”

“Happy Birthday little sister!”

Masayang binati ng lahat ang twelve years old na si Leona.

Isang munting salosalo ang inihanda nina Amber upang ipagdiwang ang kaarawan ng prinsesa.

“Here’s my gift.” Saad ni Alexander

“Here’s my gift as well.”

Isa-isang inihanda ng lahat ang kanilang mga regalo.

“Thank you everyone.” Masayang pasasalamat ni Leona.. Alam nyang nag-aalala ang lahat sapagkat kakatapos lamang iraos ang kaarawan ng bunso nilang kapatid na si Lihana, ang prinsesa na isinilang seven years ago after the king remarry. Ipinagdiwang ng buong kaharian ang kaarawan ni Lihana, inimbitahan sa palasyo ang lahat ng mga noble birth. Isang marangyang pagdiriwang ang naganap. Samantalang, isang simpleng salosalo lamang ang nagaganap ngayon para sa kaarawan ni Leona.

Ganun pa man, masaya si Leona. Hindi importante sa kanya kung simple o magarbo ang pagdaraos ng kanyang kaarawan. Ang mahalaga ay nandito ang kanyang mga kaibigan.

“We will soon take the Spirit Summoning Ritual. Are you ready?” tanong ni Damon habang kumakain sila ng cake

“Aha.” Leona

“Hopefully, we can summon powerful spirits.” Asher

“Are you nervous?” Leona

“Nope.” Damon

“No. You?” Asher

“No.” Leona

Damon and Asher shared a knowing look. They knew Leona doesn’t need to worry about anything. She have powerful spirits since years ago!

Leona already have Nisha, the Triad, Igur the spirit of fire, Hina the spirit of lightning and Sana the spirit of sound. The only spirit she lacks is the spirit of metal and ice.

“Anyway, before the Spirit Summoning Ritual, the Noble House of Lazuli will celebrate the coming of age of their first daughter. Everyone is invited.” Sabat ni Asher

“Except for Leona.” Damon

“I dont mind. You all know that I have no interest in social gatherings.” Leona

“But kids our age will be in this party. There’s still a lot of people you don’t know.” Archer

“Like Alfonse the gentle snow of the north boarder?” Tanong ni Leona

“Yes. And Cornelius the wild breeze of the west.” Levinus

“Also Robin the Flower Boy of the east.. Pffftttt.. Bwahahaha what a nickname.. “ tawa ni Damon

“Or Alicia of the Noble House of Monte Carlos.” Asher

“You should attend the party.” Alexander

“First of all, I’m not invited.” Leona

“You can go as Alexander’s fiancée.” Damon

Muntik nang mabulunan si Alexander sa tinuran ng kaibigan.
