Episode 2

I carefully grabbed the diary, placed it inside another open book, and hid on the second floor behind the bookshelves. I want to read in peace, and when my mom realizes I'm missing, she'll disturb my life by sending my sister after me.

I begin reading and realize that I've stumbled upon a great find, an unsolved mystery. I'm almost at the end, and I've discovered that the Lost Kingdom was nearly extinct, but a protection was placed upon it.

Perhaps there's also a concealment spell. Knowing where it is, I can open a portal with invasive magic and test this protection. If I can't enter, I'll ask for Aurora's help.

We all studied and trained our abilities separately.

Aurora went to the Fairy Kingdom.

I went to Agnek's castle, a very old and powerful wizard who always lived alone due to his lack of trust in anyone. Aliene, the queen of fairies and Agnek's friend, asked him to train me.

As for Vini, he had to go far away. His ability of vocal causality caused a lot of trouble and damage to my parents, as without control, it can destroy and kill any place or living being within seconds. Only my parents know where he is. His safety is very important as he is a naturally evolved Alpha, as well as a magic-filled hybrid, the extent of which nobody knows. I don't know when we'll see him again, as now we've reached what humans would call adulthood, twenty-one years old, although we've lived much less.

Returning to my book, it narrates the tragic story of the power struggle in the Kingdom of Avila, but the narrator left before everything was sealed and destroyed.

When I was in Agnek's castle, I read many books in his library, and some books written in Gaelic told, as if it were a legend, the same story, but from the perspective of those who survived the chaos of war.

They say there's a prophecy about a heir who will be able to open a portal and enter the Lost Kingdom. When this happens, those who survived and are in hiding, along with their descendants, will return, and the race of witches, wizards, and sorcerers will be restored.

It's already dark, so I put the book in the same place since the last entry mentions a continuation in another diary. I'll look into that tomorrow, as I already hear Aurora's footsteps coming to find me.

I leave the library just as she arrives.

"Hey sister, did you come to call me for dinner?" I embrace her, already heading towards home.

"As always, right? I don't understand why I, the supreme of three races, have to be a messenger for my brother, the wizard."

"For three reasons, young lady: first, because I'm the older one, second, because you still don't have a companion, and third, because you haven't assumed your place as the supreme."

"That's not fair, why do women always have to have a man bossing them around?" She stopped, stomped her foot on the ground, crossed her arms, and spoke angrily before pouting.

"Don't twist things, Aurora. It's not about bossing you around, it's about taking care of you. It's you women who are responsible for the continuation of supernatural beings, and with the permission for intermingling of races, extraordinary beings have been born and they can be dangerous. We just want our females to be alive and protected." We continued walking.

"Don't even start with that. Your speech is so sexist and prejudiced. It calls us weak, incapable, and only good for breeding."

"You're wrong again, it's also for pleasure!" I said and ran away, knowing she'll probably hit me.

"Ewww, you disgusting freak! Come here, and you'll see the pleasure I'll give you."

I see my mom on the porch, and just one look at her face tells me that Aurora is preparing some magic. Mom furrows her brow and gets ready, but dad arrives and speaks before her.

"Don't you dare, Aurora. Stop your magic now, or I'll send you to Agnek's castle for a month."

"Ah, dad..."

I look back and see her lowering her arms and the pink mist disappearing.

What Aurora doesn't know is that Agnek is probably her companion, as I overheard a conversation between him and my parents, who thought it was best to leave it alone since she's still young and he's not interested.

That's what I can't tolerate, I'm already an adult and they still treat me like a baby.

We reached the balcony and mom came to hug her.

"But you're still my baby, very mischievous of course, but my baby. Come here in mommy's lap, baby." Mom continues to hug her and pulls her inside.

"Wow mom, even you? You should be on my side!"

"But I am on your side, and your brother's, and your father's, and Vini's, even though they are far away and also Jeneffer..."

She moves away from mom, heading to the dining room, with stiff steps.

"No one understands me in this house..."

I turn to my father and ask:

"Why is it so difficult to find a partner, dad?" He looks at me seriously and thoughtfully.

"I believe it is to be prepared and also, the encounter happens at the right moment for the execution of the divine purpose."

"How about fewer difficult questions and more unity during meals?"

We arrived at the dining room and Aurora was already engaged in a fun chat with our youngest sister, Jeneffer. She is already a beautiful teenager. Her appearance is gentle and reassuring, only she can calm the tensions in this family. She is a beautiful fairy. Contrary to what dad expected.

Narrator

Pedro returned home, anyone who looks at him sees a simple, cheerful young man who loves being in the library reading. No one imagines what his intentions are, or that beneath the simple appearance he shows, dwells a powerful and visionary wizard. His appearance is not what it seems, as he hides behind a fragile disguise.

Right now, he wants to discover the Kingdom of Avila, not only to have his own space, but also to give something special to his sister. Aurora also hides her true appearance, but for different reasons.

What Pedro doesn't know is that his companion is in this hidden Kingdom and only he can find her.
