Legacy Of Tails And Tides
~1~
First day of school for Lia
Lia walks down the hall way, nervous and overwhelmed. Students from different supernatural kingdoms stare at her curiously.
suddenly,three girls approached her.Lia stands nervously, clutching her schedule.
Claire
Well, well, well.Look what we have here... the unknown hybrid.
Alexis
What's your quirk, freak? Breath fire like your fox mom or drown people like your marine dad?
Tina
Yeah,or are you just a useless mix of both?
Lia
I...I don't know what you're talking about
Claire
Save it.Everyone knows your parents. The legendary 8-tailed fox and a marine kingdom Makai. What's wrong, didn't get any powers?
Xavier appears beside Lia
Xavier
Hey Claire,back off. She just got here and you should learn to mind your business sometimes.
Claire
Or what, wolf boy? You'll bite me?
Xavier walks away with Lia
Lia
Thanks for stepping in. I owe you one.
Xavier
No problem,I've dealt with Claire's drama before. I'm Xavier by the way.
Lia
I'm Lia.Nice to meet you.
~2~
Lia
But Xavier, Claire seems... venomous.
Xavier
*laughs*Pun intended,I'm sure Snake Kingdom girls aren't known for kindness.
They approached Lia's locker,where Alexis and Tina are waiting, leaning against nearby lockers.
Alexis
Aww,wolf boy saving the hybrid. How cute.
Tina
Yeah, Xavier does she know you're only talking to her just because you are... curious about her... unknown status?
Xavier
Actually,Tina,I'm talking to her because she seems normal.Unlike people who spit venom constantly.
Lia
What do you mean by unknown status? Do people here care about that?
Xavier
Yeah,they do. Here in Cryptic High, your supernatural status defines you. Your powers... your kingdom, your family legacy... everyone knows theirs except you.
Lia
That's because my parents...*sighs*...it's complicated. My mom was from the legendary 8-tailed fox kingdom and my dad from the marine kingdom.
Xavier
Exactly!A fox and a Makai - their powers should have passed down to you,but clearly something's blocking yours. People are curious....and Claire's group is suspicious.
Claire rolls her eyes and walks away with her friends, muttering.
Claire
This conversation is too boring.Hybrid girl's secrets will come out soon enough...
~3~
Xavier leans in closer to Lia.
Xavier
Want to talk more about your parents and what might be blocking your powers...over lunch with me?
Lia smiles politely but declines
Lia
Thanks for the lunch offer, Xavier,but I need to get used to the school first.Alone for today.
Xavier
No worries, I totally understand.Cryptic High can be overwhelming.I'll catch you in our next class - supernatural history.
Lia
Yeah,I have that class next. Thanks again for saving me from Claire.
Xavier
Anytime,Lia.Be careful around her group, okay?
Xavier heads of to his locker, waving slightly before disappearing into the crowd. Lia feels a little bit relieved but also curious about Xavier's kindness.
Lia's phone buzzes - a text from an unknown number.
***Xavier wolf boy is not what he seems. Be cautious around him too - A friend***
Lia
*thinks* A random text from a stranger... probably Claire's prank...just to scare me. I'm sure of it
