The Princess of the Forgotten Tale (Frozen Series #1)

Chapter 11: Desire of an Ordinary

A number of children with ages merely five and above were scattered all over the place at Lawn, located almost at the middle of the island of Genesis. Their confused gazes reflected the scintillating rays coming from the sun, as they paced back and forth, wandering around the whole area.

"Alright! Attention, everyone!"

The attention of the young mages was caught by the authoritative and thrilled voice of a man with features that resembled his agedness. The man's body was muscular and brawn, depicting the hardships it went through to attain its current state.

"From now on, your training shall start at the hands of the Upper Division's leader," the man declared.

But the kids just stared at him, some understood it literally, some even got scared, but most of them were confused. What are they doing in the middle of a vast field within an island? Why is there an island in the middle of nowhere?

"That was me," he added.

Someone clapped as a sign of getting everyone's attention. Every mage at the field turned their gaze at the guy who just walked his way beside the man who proclaimed himself as the leader of the Upper Division.

"Uh, to make everything short and easy for you to understand, this man right here was called Knight. Call him that way. You will have your training in order to be noveres and this man will be the one to train you," the guy stated in a bored and indolent tone. He then looked at Knight and said, "You don't have to tell things in a complicated way. They're just kids."

Tumawa naman ang lalaking nangangalang Knight. "Panira ka talaga Ty–"

"Calix," pagputol ng lalaki sa pangalan na dapat itatawag sa kanya nito.

"Basta, alam na nila iyon. Wala naman si Ash at Primo para marinig yung sinabi ko," ngumisi si Knight saka humarap sa mga bata. "Shall we start–"

"Sandali," muling pagputol ni Calix sa sasabihin nito. "She'll join you."

Napatingin naman ang lahat sa batang babae na nagtatago sa likod ni Calix. Its eyes were nearly the same as crystals, and hair as white as snow. Her small hands were clinging onto Calix's cape as she tried to peek at the other kids before them.

"Her name is Celandine, Celandine Snow."

Naalimpungatan ako nang maramdaman ko na parang tumigil ang lugar kung nasaan ako. I adjusted my eyes to have a clearer vision of everything around me.

"Mabuti naman at gising ka na." a familiar voice spoke beside me.

Napatingin ako sa kanya at nakita si Vaessa na inaayos ang mga bote na palagi niyang hawak at mukhang katatapos niya lang gamitin.
