Alina's P.O.V
I was just heading off to my first class. Just then, the principal announced something on the intercom.
P: Alina Jones, please report to the principal's office at once.
So I headed staright for the principal's office.
*Narrator* Alina reached the office.
A: You called, Mrs Brown.
MB: Ah, yes. Alina, please sit.
A: *Sits hesitantly*
MB: So Alina, have you heard of the school legend?
A: No.
MB: It's not your fault. That story had been forgotten long ago.
Principal Brown was a 52 year old woman with warm brown eyes and a straight composture. No doubt she would remember this school myth and be the principal.
MB: Long ago, there were twelve children who were the best of friends. These were no ordinary children. Each of them possessed a certain power, personality and skill. They decided to build this building with their own hands. They built this building for a purpose. It was disguised as a high school but folks used to say there was a secret chamber under this very school. The young adults formed a group that ..... assasinated. They called themselves the assasins. They had to fight another mysterious group of criminals. They found out that the 'criminals' were actually aliens that took on human form. The aliens always stole materials like petrol, limestone and tar. The aliens were actually using the materials to create an all powerful weapon to destroy Earth. The assasins managed to stop them in time. Some say they died in the process, some say they continued their lives as normal adults, nobody knows.
A: And why are you telling me this?
MB: Because, Alina. The aliens have returned.
A: What! You're joking. How can you possibly know?
MB: Alina, I am an assasin. Or I studied the path of the assasins.

A: WHAT!
MB: Alina, I would stop them myself but I am far too old.
A: Wait, what were the assasins' names?
MB: Arthur Kane, Thomas Temple, Gloria McKenzie, Camila Castle, Lalia Osborn, Valerian Crawford, Lawrance Summers, Sabine Gladstone, Scotts Bradshaw, Charlene Hampton, Alexender Christian and Pedro Brown.
A: So you're the...
MB: Yes, Alina. I am Phoebe Brown, the descendant of Pedro.
A: So why am I here?
MB: Alina, you are the the next assasin. You're friends have showed great promise too.
A: But I just got here!
MB: Exactly. And yet you have showned your love for water and quirky personality of Alexender Christian.
A: I-I. What do I need to do?
MB: Save the world of course. But in long terms so not as much pressure. Oh, and each off the assasins represent a zodiac sign so there are some risks.
A: Like?
MB: LIke death, for instance. It would be like invited someone into your mind and letting them partially control it.
A: So... what sign do I represent?
MB: Aquarius.
A: Really? That MY zodiac sign. Cool!
MB: So would you like to become an assasin?
A: Well, yeah. I guess.
MB: Good! Training starts after school tommorow.
*Narrator* Alina stands up to leave the room.
MB: Oh, and Alina?
A: Yes, Principal?
MB: Don't tell your friends.
A: Okay.
*Narrator* Alina leaves the room.
Phoebe sighs and looks at the nearby mantel. On top of the mantel was a photoframe. The photo was a picture of her and her grandfather. It was the last picture they took together before some rogue aliens attacked. Pedro had died protecting her. She had barely gotten out alive. Since then, she had been an orphan.
MB: I'll make you proud, Grandfather.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

[Don't] Fear the Dragon!
Do yourself a favour and, if the chance to become a dragon in a different world ever arrives, reject it as kindly as possible. As for myself? I didn't have much say in the matter. I've wanted one thing, and one thing alone in this life—to be left alone. But these humans are beyond stereotypical. None of the other dragons let them in on the secret that we only hoard treasure in order to bait the fools. Or how it's a common belief that we eat humans for breakfast. Seriously! Not even a village would substitute as a snack. How do they think people taste anyway? Gross! But it doesn't matter if you hide away in your cave, doing nothing. Some hero is bound to find and attempt to slay you anyways. Or weird cultists offering sacrifices at your door. But there was this princess that asked me to kidnap her one time. Now that was an interesting one... [Updated daily at 11 PM | EST!]
