Serene’s POV
Location: Fae Realm
(Welco to all the readers, thank you for choosing to read my book. It’s a story with lots of twists, so let’s take this journey with Serene and see what hardships she faces as embarks on this journey.)
The pattering of the rain on my window pane woke up. I slowly opened my eyes and gazed at the clock, it was already late from the ti I usually woke up. I still had no intention of getting out of bed. I just laid there under my comfy duvet and thought about the life I would have at my new institute and how I had to literally beg my father for permission to let attend it.
Being a fairy and only daughter, he wanted to attend the "Fairy Enchantnt Institute" which was located in our realm. But, it had always been my dream to attend the "Universal Institute of Magical Beings" located in the Haxum Realm. It was headed by the most powerful warlock of our ti, Alexis Drugh. Since Fae and Haxum folks didn’t get along and my father and Alexis didn’t see eye to eye. It took a long ti to persuade my father to let attend.
My father wasn’t very fond of witches and warlocks. He always found them cunning and deceptive, therefore, he couldn’t comprehend why I was so adamant to go. Why couldn’t I just attend Fairy Enchantnt Institute like a regular fairy? So, I reminded him that I was the sole daughter of the Fae King; Eradius Zohan of the Fae realm and one day I will be taking his place as the fairy queen.
Therefore, I needed to be prepared in the ways of all realms. I needed to understand and learn the strengths and weaknesses of all the magical beings that existed. And, the only way to do that was to study and train with them. If I never went out of my realm I would never get the exposure I needed to beco a successful queen. Plus, I hated the biased attitude which existed among the different realms and how our prejudices against each other stopped us from trusting each other or working together.
Since the passing of my mother a few years ago, my father had beco overprotective of . But I reminded him that I will never learn to fly if I won’t leave the nest. It took a whole week of persuasion, begging and so threats from my grandmother, but finally my father agreed to let go.
The age limit to attend the academy is 18, and my 18th birthday is next month. Soon, I will be leaving on a new adventure. As I lay there reminiscing, a voice calling my na jolted back to reality.
"Wake up, sleepy head," shouted Zian. Poking his big head through the partially open door of my capacious room.
Zian was my best friend, advisor, and my go-to person. He had the sa height as which was about 5’7. I nicknad him ’shortie Fae’.
He had intelligent green eyes and straight long brown hair, which fell to his shoulders. He was slender in build and his wings were green which complinted his eyes, indicating he was a nature Fae.
He had an amiable nature, a smiling face which hardly ever showed anger and a pleasing personality. He always had a joke up his sleeve and was popular among the fairies. Every ti we would et he would be in love with a new fairy. Although he always insisted this was his true love.
A naughty smile was playing on his face as he looked at with his big green eyes.
I sighed and told him to co in. I knew he was here to tell about a new love interest. Or so gossip he heard.
"Finally, you are up. I have been waiting for so long to tell you..." I cut him short by glaring at him.
" Ok, ok I will wait. Don’t kill with looks Serene Zohan. Freshen up first," he quickly replied seeing my expression.
I got out of bed and headed for my bathroom. Once I washed my face, brushed my teeth, combed my hair and changed my nightdress. I felt much better and presentable.
I headed out where Zian was eagerly waiting to tell sothing he was excited about.
As soon as he saw , his eyes flashed with excitent. "You won’t believe what happened," he blurted out excitedly.
"Hmm, let guess, you t a beautiful fairy who captured your heart," I responded without surprise.
He smiled sheepishly at and said: "You know so well but what can I do? Female species have been endowed with so much beauty and I can’t help but praise it. Now and then my heart gets captured by soone, and I can’t help it."
I couldn’t help but smile at his innocent answer. He was so different from in this aspect. He never hid his feelings and always was ready to give away his heart on a silver platter, no matter how many tis he got accepted or rejected.
I, on the other hand, had never found anyone who had captured my heart so far, although the Fae kind has been bestowed with great beauty. We ca in every colour ranging from fair to tan to brown to black. We had extrely sharp features, big eyes which always complinted our wing colour, and smooth skin. We were mostly tall and lean; unlike Werewolves, we weren’t muscular but we had strong magic.
Yet, I never found a perfect match for myself. Everyone thought I was arrogant because I didn’t show interest in the opposite sex. But it wasn’t my primary goal. I wanted to learn about the other realms, make friends with other species and learn new magical powers. And with my admission to UIMB, I was very close to achieving my goal.
"I want you to et her," Zian’s cheerful voice brought back to reality.
"Of course, but let get so breakfast first and then we can head over to our usual spot in the forest and you can bring her," I told him as we got up to head down to the dining room of my castle.
