Chapter 3 part 1: The Beginning

Walking and following the guide that the book gave me surely is convenient. I know this forest better than anyone else in the village as I have explores this forest of ours for the past 10 years.

This trail that I am taking is familiar, I looked at the familiar tree next to me. I smiled, memories of me sleeping and hiding from my Grandpapa flashed in my mind. I continued to walk towards the northern part of the forest, which I know will lead me to a beach.

I got tired of walking, and I know that there is no much time left before a strong rain falls down the surface. I picked up my pace and began to run towards the beach. I should be able to take shelter in an abandoned beach house.

I was nearing my way to the beach when I felt droplets of rain on my face. Oh no, the rain! I created a barrier surrounding me to protect me from the rain. I ran faster towards the beach. Greeting me was the huge waves hitting the shore.

I regret not packing an umbrella.

I ran towards the small abandoned beach house. Good thing that even though this house is abandoned, it's still in a good shape. Guess I will stay here for a good amount of hours because of the dark clouds outside.

I hope they are doing fine. It saddens me that I had to leave in this kind of weather, where fire users weaken, but for some reason, I do not weaken. Bored I am, I went inside a room and found a decent bed and lay down. I got nothing to do anyway, so I just decided to sleep, not until the thunder roared and the lightning started to dance on the dark sky.

In the dream I had last night, I was struck by a ball of lightning. I shuddered remembering my dream. It felt so real. I curled up by the corner of the bed, staying away from the window. Great! Now I'm scared of lightning.

I tried my best to sleep but the thunder roared once more. It feels like it's searching for something.

"Seraphina, my child, are you okay?" As soon as I heard grandpapa's voice I immediately raised my head and went to him. "Are you all really okay to send me to save our guardian?" I asked him and he smiled like he was expecting this kind of question.

"Seraphina, ever since the first time you have opened your eyes when we all saw those orbs of yours, we knew that you are a gift to us to save our clan."

After that he disappeared, tch, I hoped that he will stay much longer, but guess not.

I went back to the bed and tried my real best to sleep, and now I really fell asleep.
