Evelyn Evergreen, firstborn of the prestigious Evergreen family, a family whose war-torn bloodline faced many ancient battles and wars. She started practicing the arts of Green from her father, Eric Evergreen, early as the age of 4. The year after, she inherited one of the family crown jewels, a green emerald pendant from her mother, Lorisa Blueheart. By 8 she was casting spells beyond others her own age. By 10 she was practicing, combining, and experimenting, creating modern spells of her own. It was around her 12th birthday in which, she received a simple white letter, with a special red wax seal. In it written in gold,

"To Evelyn of the Evergreen House,

You have been selected to study at the Academy of the Arcane Arts."

     The Academy of the Arcane Arts, or just the Academy, is a prestigious magic academy responsible for raising the most powerful mages. The aspirations of all the best magic apprentices, also the source of disappointment for many. A specialized school with history of only selecting the best of the best. Evelyn and her family, of course, were elated to receive the letter of invitation.

     On the day of her entrance ceremony, she put on the prettiest dress and braided her blonde hair. She walked through the magnificent gates into the ancient corridor of the century old school. As she walked past a room, she stopped to take a sneak peek of what she would be doing in a few days’ time. She sneakily peeked into the room, and to her horror she saw a boy crumbling down in pain, fresh blood dripping down his knees. Standing in front of the boy was a man dressed in red, his hands conjured magic that Evelyn never knew…

      Evelyn snapped out of her thoughts, returning to reality. She clasps the emerald from her necklace and gets ready for another day of training.
