As soon as the two entered the house through the back door, plucking herbs and plants that blooming and wrapping themselves around the fence and the gate. The two of the them were met with the back of a tall woman, Lilliana is 5'6, this woman is 7'8 (without heels). Very full figure and has everything going on for her, her skin an unnatural white that she could give printer paper a tan with hair so black that as it descends to the ends it's sapphire blue, incredibly thick and wavy as well while her pupil's is incredibly thick and curly. She is wearing a scarlet shoulder showing dress that showcases her legs perfectly, matching scarlet strapped heels, a single strap wrapped around her adding another few inches, eight inches or so, vine like jewelry upon her hands, neck, ears, left thigh and right calf. The necklace has a large sunstone centerpiece almost wrapped in vines, flowery vine rings upon certain fingers of her hands while a single double band in the form of an X on both ring fingers as a stance on an oath she had taken in her youth that she still holds to this day, and dangling leaf earrings. She has an oval face, full lips, slightly large nose but it fits her face, round electric green with yellow flecks eyes with naturally incredibly full lashes, and almost fang like canines. She's a beautiful woman, incredibly beautiful but she exudes confidence and won't hesitate to beat your ass if you dare offend her. She was blessed with beauty but she won't hesitate to put you in your place if you treat her like an airhead. Her hair is tied up in a loose ponytail and her bangs are in full view, her long bangs are a completely sapphire blue waves that reach her shoulders and could completely cover her eyes if she dips her head forward. When put into a neat and slick ponytail, her long bangs will slip to their place no matter how tight you make it.
"How was the hunt you two?" she asked, her voice is powerful, confident, that uncomfortable place between mezzo-soprano and soprano but works for her. She has a smile on her face, she's clearly amused but the tone that she is serious, she's stoking the flames of the oven and stove to make it hot enough for the large amount of work they're in for,
"It's the most abundant I've ever seen. I'm surprised that gemstones didn't pop out of the ground like popcorn." she answers as the hybrid places the game onto the large island in the middle of the incredibly large kitchen as the kitchen is the heart of the house. The two large elk placed in a see through orb exactly ten feet above the island, the elk are not in their natural size as it's easier that way until the other game is dealt with. The powerful witch turns to see the haul and is visibly surprised as she is impressed. The two women sit down at the kitchen table as the teen levitates and separates all the of herbs, plants and things into it's own piles and it quickly fills the table due to the abundance that the pair had gotten, the piles of different fungi were quite impressive and the elder woman snaps her fingers and a spark of vermillion, within seconds. All of the plants, herbs, fungi and berries had been put into it's proper containers, all to be put into suspended animation to keep them fresh for as long as they want. Basically until they decide to do with so much.
They've never seen so much before. The containers had nearly filled all the cupboards and cabinets with all of just plants that the young girl and the hybrid had collected, then the elder woman went to the counter filled with all of the game, be it fish, fowl, elk and boar. The wolves in The Onyx Forest left a few hares at the gate of the Eden house as a thank you for helping with the large amount of prey that had gathered this year. Which was teleported into the kitchen in an transparent orb, the kills being cleaned and being professionally skinned and butchered, all of the meat separated from the bones and the bones are then stored into a large see through black jar with glowing yellow runes all around the lid, the rim of the jar and the very bottom, preserving all the bones until needed at a later date. The deer is what caught the attention of the seasoned reach, "this kind of elk is incredibly hard get a hold of, let alone something so old." she says as she levitates the elk closer to herself,
"What method did you use to get The White Court Elk? The herd leaders at that?" Sofia asks as she looks at the boars, elk and deer
"I used Dark Arrow." the girl answers
"Why that spell?" her mentor questions, prompting an explanation from her pupil but to take her time in explaining,
"This generation of White Court Elk leaders are completely immune to light spells and anything related to light, Sun Trap and Light Bolts will have little to no effect. Not only that, it'll make them stronger and as you can see more beautiful. Dark spells are the way to go. The darkness may combat light, but the light cannot exist without the darkness it combats." the teen explains calmly as she looks worlds away, "that's why these herd leaders were so big and so strong. That's why the natural order of The White Court Elk had been disrupted. No one has been able to put two and two together about it. It's why they're so radiant and so unique amongst the others. Now that the tyranny has ended, the cycle and natural order will restore itself to how it's supposed to go." she finishes
"And the doe?" Sofia smiles
"My kill. Put up one hell of a fight, but it didn't think that a witch and a hybrid would work together. That arrogance was her downfall." Nierion chirps happily, returning to it's small and adorable form, he licks his lips still having residue of the doe's blood on his lips, "her blood is delicious." he purrs as he hops onto Lilliana's lap.
The three of them grabbed the sharpest objects, Nierion begins sharpening his extended claws upon a shining stone post that is a kin to a scratching post for cats but to make Nierion's claws a lot sharper than before, Sofia one of her many swords, a short sword, shining sky blue blade with white hilt, a fire opal at the very bottom of the white hilt; Lilliana has a large serrated saber, obsidian black blade, moonstone gems spaced out from the hilt to the very middle of the sword and the tip with a opal like metal casting that makes the tip is the sharpest of the entire blade, the serrated part of the blade is in the direct middle is purple that is ascends to the black of the rest of blade while the top and bottom is obsidian black. The three were about to skin the dead elk when the doorbell sounded, it's a loud bell that makes a short melody when rung. Sofia is annoyed and walks to the door, telling the teen to sharpen her sword so that when they start, there won't be any delays when hitting hard meat that needs to be boiled in order to be used properly. The teen does as she's told as she levitates herself into the air and with a metallic yellow stone that shimmers and shines in the light, beginning sharpening the sword with said stone.
Sofia stomps to the front door and opens the door with an angry vigor, only to see a messenger of the capital city, dressed in navy blue with fire red and yellow and smart black shoes (in this messenger's case heavy duty mid calf boots), the girl wearing said uniform is a blonde blue eyed girl, her waist long hair in a ponytail braid with forest green streaks with the blonde strand, her skin ivory with freckles over her face, height 5'5, she looks like a child till you look at her eyes, her eyes give away that she's way older than she looks, the unfortunate messenger was met by the angry witch with a blade floating directly behind her. The messenger is scared out of her wits as she hands the angry Dualist a pair of letters tied together by a magenta ribbon, addressed to the two in question. Sofia took the letters from the messenger and handed her three gold coins infused with diamonds with bluebells on one side and the insignia of the royal family on the other to the poor woman who graciously took it and bolted the hell out of there, mainly elves deliver here...what could be so important that they send a different messenger? Sofia thought as she watches the messenger run away to the transportation of the postal service, for this messenger, it's a large black and white bird that almost looks like ink art with written text the size of a large carriage. The bird spreads it's wings and flies off as soon as the postwoman climbs on and secures itself in it's back.
The woman sighs heavily as she watches the postwoman's departure. She then walks back inside, knowing that she can't separate the letters unless both intended senders are present.
She walks back into the kitchen where the other two are sharpening their weapons for the work that is the elk floating in the orbs above them. The teen's sword is sparkling in the daylight that's pouring in the room with the window, it's dark mauve curtains drawn back and tied by a shiny silver rope tie. As Sofia enters the room, the two did as they were bid and sharpened their blades as they wait for her. The two welcomed her with a smile. Eager to skin and clean the game that the two had rightfully earned.
"Before we start with that. Mail call." the elder woman said holding up the pair of envelopes tied together in the magenta ribbon, the lining of the magenta ribbon glows silver as now both recipients are present. The two pouted, Sofia rolled her eyes, she grabbed her sword quickly swished it into the air in precise strikes and then brought it down in a downward swing, all of the boar that the pair had brought in had been skinned, cleaned and all of the meat have been removed from the bones cleanly. The pelt and hide are now on the drying rack. The complete skeleton is the only thing on the counter, the two are in awe. But then they turn to the mail in the witch's hands.
"Who's it from?" Asked Nierion
"The capital." Sofia answers
"They haven't bothered us in years. What could they want?" The teen asks as the ribbon dissolves and her letter floats to her hands.
"No clue. Why don't you open yours first and to see what the fuck this is about?" Sofia suggests the girl agrees.
The teen opened her letter, her envelope is snow white with a dark violet wax seal with the symbol of a Peony with a star in the center and all around the petals. She summoned a moonstone and pink opal letter opener and sliced directly underneath the wax seal (thus keeping it intact), and opened the envelope, within the envelope is a beautiful pale white on white parchment paper with gold swan feather borders which is written.
Dear Lilliana,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to attend Mix Academy School of The Mystical Arts. We are so excited to have you, of The Eden House, to attend our classes.
You will be a great addition to our school and you will bring an experience that not many know of. We of Mix Academy pride ourselves on our knowledge and expertise but we know you may have experience that we may not be fully versed in. We are not that arrogant to reject a clearly talented student. We are glad to have you part of our course and I am sure that we all can learn from one another.
Sincerely;
Headmaster Alon Illumis.
"What the fuck is this?! I never sent an application or even try to apply to Mix!!" Lilliana snapped as she reads and rereads the letter, the date of school opening and the start of classes appearing directly underneath the signature of the headmaster. Nierion is also shocked and is smelling foul play. Sofia remains rigid but her lips are pursed into a tight line. She too is displeased of what's happening to her pupil. She holds up her envelope, it's a moderate gamboge color parchment with raven feather borders with the color of it's namesake...a moderate cyan wax seal of the symbol of a crescent moon with a treble clef in the center. Sofia summon a sterling and ruby letter opener and sliced directly underneath the seal. The seal glows and the envelope floats into the air and turn into a mirror like orb and it begins to speak:
Dear Sofia,
Your pupil Lilliana is to go to Mix Academy immediately as it has come to the attention of everyone that she is not enrolled into any of the schools anywhere. Her talents are being wasted just being in The Eden House. I know you do not believe so. But she cannot improve with your teachings alone.
Please. Don't take this the wrong way. We are just worried that her talents are being squandered.
Sincerely,
Militrix.
Now it makes sense. They took it upon themselves to enroll the teen into school, not knowing that she's perfectly fine and thriving just being in the Eden House. They don't even know the teen yet they believe they know what's better for her and her growth. The teen is seething while the adult has a silver and dark cornflower blue and amethyst aura is surrounding her, making her hair and jewelry move around her as if in water. "Lil. Let's get back to the harvest. Then we'll settle this." Sofia said her voice eerily calm but you can feel the fury coming off of her.
The three of them took their sweet sweet time with all of the game. For they have bigger fish to fry.
