The Heiress Mage

Chapter 9 – The Destiny



Ashleigh’s POV

“AHHHH!”

Suddenly the red marble that Stheno wants me to hold just started to flame and flew through the mirror which caused the mirror to break.

“I knew it!” Stheno shouted and was amazed.

“She’s a mage!” Cadmus shouted.

What did they say? mage?

“I knew it! I knew it! You are one of us!” said Stheno again.

“W-What?! What you are saying is not true!” said and then frowned.

“I noticed that when both of you and Elgin approached us, this morning.” Stheno’s explained.

“I do not understand you.” confused I said.

“You triggered the red marble” Cadmus said seriously.

“I just noticed, why you don’t know?” a question by Elgin that made me realize that…

‘Why didn’t I know it?’

“My parents say nothing about it.” I gasped and looked away.

“Tomorrow we will take you to Professor Radagast” suggested Shreya.

“So we can know what kind of attuned you are” Cadmus replied.

“Do you need to charge your phone?” Elgin asked.

‘Of course, I almost forgot…’

“Yeah … My phone is drained completely.” I said laughing.

“Let me handle it” said Cadmus and I immediately handed him my phone.

Suddenly there was electricity in Cadmus’ hand and he immediately handed me my phone.

“That’s fully charged.” smiling it says.

I checked if it is true that it is fully charged, and it is true as in 100%.

“H-How did you do that?!” I said while my eyes widened.

“It’s because I’m a Lightning Attuned hmm also known as Electricity Attuned” he said while crossing his arms and smiling.

“While me, I am a Wind Attuned” Elgin replied.

“Why are both of you have different specialties? Why are Lizette and Ember both Wood Attuned?” I asked in astonishment.

“I can do Wind spells even if I’m not Wind Attuned, While Ember is both Wood and Venom Attuned but her specialty is Venom.” explained Cadmus.

“I also study Electric spells but my real specialty is being Wind Attuned.” Elgin also explained.

I looked at them and smiled. Maybe it’s not bad to come here, after all, they’re so kind … It’s fun to watch them, maybe I’ll just give in and just enjoy.

‘I guess, I’ll just stay here and have fun …’

”I decided.” I said to get their attention.

“What did you say?” they all asked.

“I said, I’ve decided… I want to stay here and be with you guys.” smiling I said.

Shreya ran over to me and hugged me.

“Is what you’re saying Ash true?” he asked as he hugged me.

“Yes, I am serious hahaha.” I said laughing.

“Then it is settled… welcome to our group.” smiling Cadmus said.

We all looked away when the door suddenly opened, the two outside were sisters Lizette and Ember.

“Hey!, Cadmus, we are also part of the group you know!” annoyed Ember said.

“We’ll be with you until you find out the answers to your questions.” said Lizette.

Cadmus, Elgin, and Stheno smiled at me as they raised their thumbs while Ember and Lizette both smiled and crossed their arms.

“The six of us will be your friends here, don’t worry… we are with you on your journey in this world.” said Ember.

I smiled and sighed.

“Thank you, guys…” I hugged them and they did the same.

‘I was lucky because I met good people that became my friends in this world.’

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up early to take a shower, I was brushing my teeth when I noticed in the mirror that my hair was in a different color. It turned white. I bit my lip so hard and pulled my hair, I was nervous. I hurried to take a bath to ask Stheno if she noticed what color my hair was when I was with Elgin.

After I took a bath and got dressed and I went out of my room and there I saw them preparing breakfast.

“Good morning Ash.” Shreya greeted me warmly.

“Good morning Shreya, Stheno.” I greeted them with a smile, Stheno just smiled at me, and I immediately sat down on the chair.

“Professor Radagast is in the faculty early so let’s hurry to eat,” said Stheno.

“I already talked to Elgin, he said they were just in the lobby waiting for us,” Shreya said while eating.

I want to ask Stheno if he noticed what color my hair was yesterday when I was with Elgin. I sighed first and immediately called him.

“Stheno…”

“Yes?”

“Did you notice what color my hair was when you and Shreya saw me? When I was with Elgin?” I asked nervously.

She raised an eyebrow and then stared at me.

“Hmm? White, why?” she answered seriously while staring at me.

How could this happen? I couldn’t understand why my hair suddenly change back to my real hair color. Can this world, change back the things you’re hiding from your real world?

After 10 minutes of eating breakfast, we decided to meet up with each other. Elgin and his brother look exhausted while Lizzy and her sister look like they don’t seem to sleep well last night.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“What happened to the four of you? It’s as if heaven and earth have fallen on you.” Stheno asked in astonishment.

“My sister and I did not sleep well last night.” yawning Ember said.

“Because my sister is carrying a lot of her clothes, so we arranged them first and put her clothes away before we went to sleep…” Lizzy explained annoyed.

“How about you Elgin and Jax? Why do you and your brother look exhausted?” Stheno asked again.

“My older brother and I cleaned his car.” Elgin explained.

“Is Jax’s car too dirty? HAHAHA “Shreya asked mischievously.

“Yes, Very much!” Elgin exhaustingly replied.

I just silently laughed behind Shreya and Stheno. because their friendship is fun. to look at. I don’t seem to belong here but because of what they said yesterday I feel like I belong to their group.

“Let’s go and go to Professor Radagast’s faculty. ” said Stheno and we immediately followed her.

When we arrived at Professor’s faculty and then we came across a woman with gray curly hair. It has a twin-pigtail hairstyle. We stared at each other before she suddenly averted her gaze and stared at Stheno.

“Hey cuz, do you have a new friend?” she asked and smirked.

“Yes, why? Is there a problem? Diasspro?” Stheno answered the woman seriously.

She still smirked and stared at me again.

“What’s your name?” she asked and it made me swallow because of the sudden nervousness.

“I’m… Ashleigh.” I answered while suppressing my nervousness.

“Hmm, I see your name is cheap.” she said and then flipped her hair and left the faculty.

“S-Stheno, Who is that?” I asked as I blinked my eyes.

“Diasspro Atlas… my cousin.” she answered seriously.

“She’s scary.” I said in a whisper and sighed.

“Just ignore her, come on.” she said and went first to Professor Radagast’s seat.

We caught up with a man who was so tall that he almost reached the ceiling. it has long hair and royal blue hair color.

“Professor Radagast?” Stheno called and it made him immediately turn around.

“Oh Stheno, what can I help you kids?” he asked and smiled at us.

“This is Ashleigh, we would like to talk to you for her… it is because she still doesn’t know what kind of mage or attuned she is.” Stheno’s explained to him.

“Let me see what I can do.” he said and sat down in his chair. “Sit here.” he ordered me and I immediately did what he said.

“We will go out first Professor, Please take care of Ash … Ash we will wait for you outside.” Cadmus said with a smile.

I smiled at them and as they came out Professor Radagast stared at me as if reading something on my face.

“Ashleigh, you’re not just ordinary attuned.” he said which made me nervous. “I guess, you have a sun-shaped birthmark on the upper left side of your arm. Am I right?” he’s serious ask.

“Y-Yes Professor.” I stammered.

“Let me ask you 3 questions so I can find out more about what kind of mage or attuned you are.” he explained and I immediately agreed.

He gets a book and opened it, I looked around his faculty. This is nice and full of books you can say Professor is a bookworm.

“For the first question … If your teacher groups you into 5, what position would you choose? A. Leader, B. Assistant Leader, or C. Member?” He asked.

“A, Professor.” I answered.

“As for the second question … If you ever encounter a Sphinx and you are given a riddle, how will you answer it? A. You will ask him, B. Logically, or C. Will you just guess?”

“B”

“For the last question … What if you found out that your family was not your real family, what would you do? A. You would look for answers to your questions, B. You would just face the truth or C. You will have nothing to do.” Professor asked seriously.

I was stunned by his question. Does it have anything to do with my personal life? I do not know what to answer. What would I say? It scares me… I don’t know what to do.

I sighed and looked down. before answering.

“If I would know that they’re not my real family, I will accept and understand whatever their reason is to hide the truth from me. And on the other hand… I will look for my real parents and find the answer to my question for their reasons why did they give me to others or leave me alone.” I answered seriously while looking down.

Professor smiled and held my hand.

“Ashleigh, your answers are very good. Especially on the third question.” he said and he stood up.

“What do you mean Professor?” I asked while staring at him.

“I already know what kind of attuned you are … and it was amazing this is the first time I just met a student with such an extraordinary power.” its explanation made me even more confused.

“What are you saying, Professor?” I asked again.

He places his hand on my shoulder and smiled again.

“Dear, you are Sun Attuned and Metal Attuned.” he said.

I was even more confused by what he said.

“What do you mean? Professor … I really don’t understand.” confused I said.

“You are a Sun Class Attuned mixed with Metal Attuned, your main class is a Sun second Metal. You will be taught how to use your power on the first day of your school year next week … for now, study the simple spells of a Sun Attuned. All I know is that Stheno knows the simple spells of a Sun Attuened because she has the 2nd skill of a Sun Attuned. ” Professor explained.

“What is Stheno’s first-class skill? If you don’t mind me asking it, Professor.” I asked.

“No, Not all… Stheno’s first specialty skill is Crystal.” Professor replied.

After Professor told me and explained what I didn’t understand, I said goodbye to him and leave his faculty.

And there… I will never forget what he said.

‘You will play a big part in this world, you will face many difficult trials and you will fall many times, but you will also get up immediately to fight and face every obstacle in your path for the truth… that is your destiny.’
