Isabella stood in the dimly lit chamber, her fingers grazing over the dusty spines of ancient books. The air smelled of parchment and forgotten magic. She closed the book in her hands with a frustrated thud.

“Where is second book?” she muttered under her breath, her eyes scanning the endless shelves.

She moved quickly, pulling out another book, then another, but nothing gave her the answers she sought. Her frustration grew with every passing moment. Finally, she slammed the last book back onto the shelf and stormed out of the chamber, her mind racing.

She slipped through the academy halls, careful to avoid anyone’s gaze. Shadows hid her from prying eyes as she made her way home.

Inside her home, she found Jenna sitting near the hearth, casually flipping through a book. Jenna looked up as Isabella entered, her face softening at the sight of her.

“Jenna,” Isabella said, her voice sharp, “I need answers.”

Jenna’s brows furrowed. “What are you talking about?”

“The journal. The other part of it,” Isabella said, stepping closer. “The cabals killed my mother and for the sake of blessings given by my step uncles and aunt she come back. You knew something, didn’t you? Where were you when they were casting the Preservation Spell? Where were you?”

Jenna closed her book and stood, her expression turning serious. “Isabella, this isn’t something I can simply tell you. It’s your destiny. You have to find it yourself.”

“Destiny?” Isabella’s voice rose, anger flashing in her eyes. “You’ve hidden things from me my whole life! I love you, Aunt, but you” Her voice broke, and she turned away. “You’ve betrayed my trust.”

Jenna stepped closer, her voice steady but filled with regret. “You may not see it now, but everything I’ve done has been for you, Isabella.”

Isabella didn’t reply, her shoulders tense as she walked past Jenna and out the door.

Outside, the cool night air stung her skin. She almost didn’t notice Lysandra until she felt a hand on her arm.

“Isabella,” Lysandra said, her tone careful. “You need to get ready for the Arcane Ascendancy event. It’s starting tonight.”

Isabella nodded stiffly, her mind still whirling.

The two made their way back to the academy, but Isabella’s thoughts were far away. The betrayal she felt towards Jenna gnawed at her. She loved Jenna, but something had changed. The blind trust she once had was gone. Now, she would find the truth herself, no matter the cost.

Jenna stood in front of her mirror, adjusting the delicate lace of her dress. The soft fabric shimmered in the candlelight, and her long hair flowed down her back, carefully brushed and adorned with tiny silver pins. Her nerves buzzed with excitement and a hint of fear-after all, the blessing ceremony at Isabella and Aurora's academy was a rare and sacred event.

She reached for her necklace, the one Isabella loved most. As Jenna fastened it, her reflection in the mirror suddenly flickered. She froze, her hands trembling. The soft glow of the room seemed to dim, and when she looked up again, her reflection wasn't her own.

The figure staring back at her had Helena's unmistakable dark eyes, her raven-black hair cascading wildly, and a wicked smirk curling her lips. Shadows danced around her reflection like living entities.Have you forgotten your sister, Jenna?" Helena's voice dripped with venom, sharp and cold.

Jenna stepped back, her voice trembling. "Helena? Do you want another stab?."

Helena's reflection leaned closer, her eyes burning with malice. "You psychotic bitch, You stabbed me in the back, did you remember? But don't worry, dear sister. I'm back... and this time, I'll stab you in the heart."

Jenna clenched her fists, summoning her courage. "You can't do anything, Helena. You can't even touch Isabella or me. She's stronger than both of us, stronger than even Hayley and the history of our bloodline. You know it."

At the mention of Hayley, Helena's smirk faded into something darker, her expression twisted with rage and sorrow. "You still remember our dear, dead sister? How touching."Jenna said nothing, her jaw tightening.

Helena's smile returned, cruel and dangerous. "So be it. If you won't face me, then I'll release them. The Seven Titans. Let's see how your precious Isabella handles that."

With those chilling words, Helena's reflection shattered into countless shards, scattering across the room. Jenna let out a gasp, stumbling back against the wall. Her breath came in shallow, terrified gulps.

She whispers "The Seven Titans."

She quickly grabbed her cloak, her mind racing. Whatever Helena was planning, she needed to warn Isabella. Without another glance at the broken mirror, Jenna hurried out of the room and toward the academy.

The castle is bustling with the hustle bustle of students. They are really happy especially girls. They are standing in a line all 10 of them, paying everyones attention. Than Professor Adam's comes and said "Wellcome dear students and dearest 10 girls."

Girls wearing nineteen time dresses.

"I welcome to all the parents who came here for their children and for academy, for motivating them. So, without wasting time we are moving to our first stage. Known as "Blessing ceremony". So, parents please stand infront of your daughters and give them your blessing with artifacts."

All parents standing in front of their children and holding each others hands. Meanwhile, jenna holding Isabella from one hand and Aurora from other. As they hold their child's hand, suddenly the atmosphere of grand hall turn to warmth and a golden glitter type light start revolving around their hands. Aurora smiling while looking at her mother as well as others, while Isabella ignoring jenna looking at phillip. Than, jenna said "I bless my both children with happiness, I want my children never give up, always stand together by holding each others hand, no matter what."

Than, Isabella and Aurora holds each others hands and smiling. Than, their parents give their child an artificial. Jenna gives Isabella "a ring of Arcana" a precious red blood ring made with the blood of original witch. Its enhances the witches ability spellcasting and amplify their power with it she give her a "Grimore" an ancient gold leather grimoire.
Jenna whispers "its your mothers grimoire,  you will need it soon."

Than she move forward to Aurora and give her "the crystal wings". A pair of wings made from enchanted Crystal's. When worn, they grant the fairy enhanced the flight abilities and can even allow them to teleportation the short distances. And "The Blossom Ring" a ring made with the Rainbow Lily. The only one power in the world capable if making the plays bloom and controlling nature.

Meanwhile, other students also gets their magical relics and artifacts.

"Congratulations to all and I appreciate to all the parents for participating in this precious ceremony". Professor Adams said.

"Now, it's time to move our 2nd stage, "Magical Talent Showcase" which will happen tomorrow night. Among the crowd of hallowdale in front of humans." Professor Adam's said.

Jenna holds Isabellas hand and said "call your friends to meet with me at our house." Isabella staring at her with strange. She holds Phillips hand and kissed him than said "meet me at my home after dinner. There is something we need to discuss."

Phillip going to his home from dark forest than he heard "Phillip, I need you". Phillip.. the voice is deep and very scary like a hell queen is calling her. Than, phillip whispering to himself, his voice barely audible
"What... what is this?"

Before he could make sense of what is happening, a ghostly wind swirled around him, he get goosebumps. It wasn't the normal breeze, this felt scary, as if it carried whispers from another world. Then, he heard it, his name, again, spoken softly yet echoing eerily.

"whispering "Phillip..."

Phillip's heart raced, beating loudly in his chest. The forest around him began to dissolve into shadows, everything fading away like smoke in the wind. Suddenly, he found himself standing in a dark, mist-shrouded forest. The trees loomed high, their twisted branches clawing at the sky. The air is cold, and attached to his skin.

A castle emerged from the shadows, as he enter in castle he saw the caste is full of dust and water is dropping from roof and land is filled with little mud and water. As he move ahead he saw a woman sitting on a throne, a woman with an otherworldly aura. Her form was ethereal, translucent, yet she radiated a powerful, intimidating presence. Her eyes glowed with an unnatural light, a mix of violet and obsidian, piercing right through him. Phillip instinctively stepped back, his breath catching in his throat.

Phillip stammering in shock "Who... who are you? What do you want from me?"

The figure smiled faintly, her voice soft but filled with a commanding, almost hypnotic power.

Helena "I'm the Queen of Eclipse, and I am the one who knows your deepest fears, your hidden desires. You've felt me before, haven't you? In your dreams, in the dark corners of your thoughts, and I've chosen you."

Phillip's mind reeled, trying to grasp what was happening. He had heard tales of spirits, of dark entities that could invade dreams, but this felt far too real. His skin prickled with anxiety, but he tried to stay composed, even as fear troubled at the edges of his mental health.

Phillip frowning, still confused "Helena, the psychic bitch an witch, you Chosen me? For what? Why me?

Queen of Eclipse said "because you are strong, brave and cold hearted".

Phillip said "There are others who are stronger, more capable people, just lemme go."

Queen of Eclipse's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression growing more intense. The air around them crackled with dark energy as she stepped closer, her figure almost floating above the misty ground.

She said "No, Phillip. It is you. You have the strength, the ambition, and the potential to fulfill a destiny others cannot even measure. But it's not just your power that drew me to you. It's your willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve greatness, whether you realize it or not. That's why I trust you more than anyone."

Phillip's pulse quickened as her words seeped into his mind like a creeping shadow. Something about her presence was both terrifying and magnetic. Her voice was soothing but held an edge of authority that made resistance seem futile.

Phillip defiant but wavering "I don't know what you think I'm capable of, but I'm not interested in being anyone's pawn. Whatever this is, I won't be part of it."

Queen of Eclipse tilted her head slightly, her gaze unwavering as if she were studying him, peeling away his layers to see the truth underneath.

She said "Pawn? No, Phillip. I'm offering you something far greater than servitude. I'm offering you power, freedom from the chains that bind ordinary people. With me, you'll rise above them all. You'll achieve things beyond your wildest dreams. But only if you let go of your doubts."

Phillip's mind raced as he processed her words. There was something seductive about the way she spoke, as if her voice was laced with a seductive poison, tempting him to give in.

Phillip breathing heavily, trying to push back against her influence "What exactly do you want me to do? What's your endgame?"

Her expression darkened, her eyes flickering like dying embers in the night. Her voice dropped to a low whisper, filled with a dangerous promise.

She said "I want you to help me reclaim what was taken from me. To bring me back into this world. To restore what has been lost. In return, you will have a place by my side, where you truly belong. Imagine it, Phillip... wielding power that others can only dream of, standing above them all as a force to be reckoned with."

Phillip's heart beating, torn between the allure of her words and the fear gnawing at his conscience. He didn't want to be a part of whatever dark plan she had, yet the temptation of power, of being something more than ordinary, pulled at him.

Phillip's vision blurred, the mist around him thickening as Queen of Eclips's figure grew fainter. Her voice echoed in his mind, repeating the words that both terrified and intrigued him.

her voice fading "You will help me, Phillip. Whether you want to or not..."
