    Enter a world of wonder as you follow the young fairy Ehrynn Frostthorn on her path to uncover the mysteries surrounding her past. Advisory age: 13+ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ SYNOPSIS It's been over a cycle since I was almost caught by the Hunters, since I was torn apart from my family and was thrown halfway across the dimension, to the Realm of Magic. They say Magic comes from who you are as a person, from your inner strength and determination to follow the path you're on- and if that's so, maybe I've lost it. Ever since that day I've been unable to spark even the tiniest bit of magical energy- or well, up until recently, that is. It all started after a slight deviation in this dream I've been having and an incident in the Nevadoran Forest- and now I suddenly got invited to study at a school for Magic, Arthyrell Academy. Will this finally lead me to the answers I've been seeking? ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ CONTENT WARNING A central focus in the book series is trauma.

Years later - on the prestigious training ground of LBSNAA - she sat on a bench under a dim light, her eyes swollen, her cheeks streaked with tears, her body trembling. She thought she was invisible again. Then, a boy knelt beside her. Calm. Warm. He gently placed a water bottle in her hand and whispered with a smile - "Take it. Cry your heart out. Then drink it. Because if you get dehydrated, how will we win that gold medal here?" And they both burst into laughter. That moment didn't erase her pain - But it reminded her she wasn't alone. Because this story isn't just about becoming an IAS officer. It's about broken hearts, silent battles, second chances - And two souls learning to heal... together.

    She saw him approaching, staggering, with hatred and animosity in his eyes, and he began to unbutton his shirt, laughing. She didn't know what to do, but one thing she was sure of: "He will not touch me again!" She shouted, "Stay away and don't you dare come near me!" Suddenly, he laughed at her crying voice, not satisfied with just laughing, he said, "And if I don't stay away, what will you do?!" She didn't know where she found the strength to scream and scream, and she took the broken picture frame in her hand, not realizing that her weapon and before hurting her rival, was wounding her hand. She didn't care. She pressed the piece of glass in her hand and shouted at him, "One step, just one step, and you'll see your end. I warn you, come closer or touch me." "Are you going to kill me?! Haha, good, try it, my dear." "Your death! " ,she breathed heavily, "your death won't satisfy my anger. Your end is not in your death, I know that life doesn't matter to you, but I'll prepare a different end for you, an end you'll think about as long as you're alive."

    "What's your name?" The half-blood blinked-she'd never heard that one before. "Get down on your knees" and "Hurry up" and even "DIE YOU FILTHY SCUM" were the usual ones for her. But "What's your name"? What a commodity. "Why aren't you speaking?" Again, she blinked. Had he never owned a slave before? How unusual-why bother getting one in the first place if you are ignorant at how to treat it? Furthermore, she had yet to see any of the items that were characteristic with being a slave owner: whips, clubs, hot iron, etc... The only thing he could really punish her with could be the stoker for the fireplace, but even that seemed like a minimal threat to her. Seeing his mounting confusion and fascinated by his lack of domination, the half-blood eventually pointed to her collar, in hopes of reminding him of what the handler had said. Realization overcame his young face in the form of a blush, and he questioned with a stutter, "You need permission...? Oh! I-I apologize, I've never done this before... Um... you may respond. Please answer my question..." She stared at him with a fascinated expression for a bit longer, and then nodded, tilted her head, inhaling and exhaling the air with freed relish for a little bit, and then, with a voice that was like vanilla in its sweetness, spoke: "I don't have one." ----- Hated and despised for being a halfblooded vampire, she eventually is bought and saved by a rare pureblood. It is there she gains a name: Ilene.
