Raven's POV

I couldn't sleep at all, as I was too nervous for tomorrow.

I slowly went out of bed as quietly as possible and deciced to go for a walk.

I went downstairs and quietly opened the door leading to the rose garden.

I just noticed that there was a narrow path and decided to walk through it.

The path ended with a lake and there was a cabin on the other side.

The moon reflected on the surface as it made the lake more beautiful.

''Hey'' I heard something as if someone whisphered in my ear, but no one was there as I turned around.

''Who's there?'' I shouted to see if I had company.

''Up here!'' A small voice yelled

I looked up to see a a fairy like creature floating above me. It went closer and I had a good look.

''You look like Frey!'' the fairy said

''What are you? And who's Frey?'' I asked the little fairy

''Are you a fairy?'' I asked

The creature then laughed as it left me confused for a little while.

''Fairy? What a joke. I am a fire spirit'' it replied

''A spirit?'' I asked with a confused look. I never thought they exist.

''Yes, I am the guardian spirit of this place. We, spirits aren't that known to many. We only let ourselves be seen by beings with a higher amount of mana'' the spirit said

''I am Raven Rosevelt, the first son of the duke of this house'' I introduced myself.

''A Rosevelt? Then you must be one of Frey's children?'' the spirit asked

''Is the Frey that you know also a Rosevelt?'' I asked

''Yes, his name was Godfrey Rosevelt. He was a very special person whom I chose. He married a blondie from another noble family and had only one son named Redd. I remember he was one cheeky boy'' The spirit reminisces.

''Redd Rosevelt is my father!'' I enthusiastically answered

''So Frey is my grandfather?'' I looked and sounded shocked.

Come to think of it I never knew my grandparents. I also never asked.

''To think another of his kin would meet me this soon. Follow me to the cabin. It was mine and Frey's hideout'' the spirit said as it flew towards the opposite side.

I catched up and opened the cabin door. The inside was dusty and had webs.

The fire spirit lit two lamps and I saw a man who looks like me, but had sharp features.

''This was Frey during his prime'' the spirit said

To think I looked so much like my grandfather. He was rather handsome.

''Hey, I want a contract'' the spirit demanded

''With who? Me? How?'' I asked

''Give me a new name'' he said

''Then, I'll name you Amell. It means strong and passionate''

After I gave him a name he glowed and kissed my forehead.

''This seals our contract. I'll protect you and will only leave you when you fade out of this world'' Amell said

''Just call my name and I will appear whenever I'm needed'' he added

He disappeared and I went back to my room.

It was already dawn and I became sleepy. I need a little rest before I go to the academy.

After a few moments, I fell asleep.

With today's events, it just made life more enthusiastic.

I will make a good start and try to save both me and my sister from the prince's wrath.
