Alexis stood in the hallway of the entrance to the fifth grade wing. There were enough kids that the school had one class in each grade. Alexis had a small class of elven kids. One of her friends came up to her,
"Alexis! Did your sister arrive yet?" Anna asked. Alexis giggled and nodded,
"Yeah Momma named her Olivia! She's littel though and she is so cute." Alexis smiled. The girls went into their classroom. The fun thing here was the kids learned the normal subjects but they got to spend an hour everyday with someone who knew the specific discipline they wanted to learn. Alexis sat at her desk in the second row. Math itself was boring for her as she hated it.
The bell rung an hour later for the kids to go to lunch. Alexis sat with Anna.
"So is your mother at the Sanctuary or no? Anna asked. Alexis shook her head,
"Nope she sttays at home for a month to keep an eye on Olivia with Dad. I get to go to school." Alexis explained. The two eyed one of the freshman boys.
"He's cute." Anna whispered. Alexis smirked, "I know a man named Niccolo Croatoan he's 531 years old. Now he my friend is really cute!" Anna burst out laughing. The girls ate their lunch silently for a few minutes.
"So you know some really cool people eh?" Anna pressed on. Alexis nodded. "I know Niccolo, Aretha, Adra, Trip, Mara and many others. They're from around the world. But I think Niccolo is epic. He's so powerful I mean I saw him rip someone's soul from a body. He kinda stole a few true names...forty-nine actually." Alexis said. Anna stared at Alexis, "He, sstole true names?!" Anna exclaimed dropping her apple. Alexis nodded, "Shh do not say a word! Niccolo may be mad if he ever found out!" Anna nodded pretending to zipper her lips. "Can I come over after school?" Anna asked. Alexis nodded and the bell rung.
After school the girls went to Alexis's house. Zafira was on the couch feeding a tiny little baby. "Hi Alexis, hella Anna." Zafira greeted noticing the girls. Anna smiled politely, "Grand Mage." She said respectfully. The two ran up into Alexis's room. Anna saw the teddy bear. "So that's Coco! Did you draw the real person?" Anna asked looking over at the sketchbook Alexis had. Alexis went over and flipped the sketchbook to a page with a crow on it flying over a lake at sunset. "Closest I got. Niccolo changes into many animals and normally he likes to be a crow. This is him over the lake. I got another one." Alexis flipped to a picture of a man walking on water, Niccolo Croatoan. "That's him. I never told him I drew this but I did." Anna stared open mouthed, "Is that an Elemental trick?" Anna asked. Alexis shrugged. "No idea." The girls looked at Alexis's drawings for an hour and then went outside. That's when they overheard the news.
"I understand whats's going on." Zafira snapped. It went quiet. "We...well yes I would assume so. Yes. War with Ireland."
Alexis and Anna widened their eyes. Both girls were scared. What was war going to be like? Bad?
