Once upon a time, there was a magical land, known as the Enchanted islands, where everyone lived happily and freely.
The Emperor was generous and loved by the public like his forefathers were.
In these islands, in the season of fall, was born a little girl at a farmer's house.
On the day of her birth the weather was windy and a mess, rain poured down from above but a rainbow was not created by the water droplets.
In this weather someone left a bag containing beautiful purse addressed to the baby at their doorstep.
For some reason her mother named her Achlys meaning Darkness and Death.
She lived with her mother in a small cozy house at the edge of the CREEPY DARK FOREST in the Kingdom of Light.
On the same day of Achlys' birth, the Prince of that particular Kingdom was also born and was named Callan meaning 'Warrior' maybe because he was supposed to have the powers of a great warrior.
Achlys was not normal in anyway she was someone Special, Crazy and Fearless.
She and her unicorn--who was born on the same day as herself-- always roamed about The Dark Forest Fearlessly.
She was different, she knew it but never knew what made her different.
On her 12th birthday her mother told her about the magical powers she possesses like none another and that she should learn to control them.
Her mother also instructed her to keep these powers a secret from the outside world and that this will protect them from falling in wrong hands.
She was excited to try them but a bit disappointed that she can't use them freely, life could become really luxurious if you have magic.
Achlys grew up in the lap of nature, always climbing trees and swinging from one vine to another.
She always sung beautiful songs and dreamed that someday there will be a long line of people wanting to listen to her voice.
She can talk to animals and understand them and always chatted with the ones in The Dark Forest because all her life she has never met a human other than her mother.
Years passed quickly and soon she was going to be fifteen years old.
One day when she came back from the forest, she saw her mother talking to stranger dressed in fancy robes befitting a Noble from what her mother has told her.
Her own clothes were covered with mud and had leaves stuck on them so she quietly went to her room and changed into some clean ones.
She washed her clothes, dried them and put them into the cupboard before coming down.
But before she can reach her mother she heard her say.
"Ok if you request I will send her to the school from tomorrow".
She was surprised.
When the mam was gone she came near her mother and asked.
"What school? and why do I have to go there?"
"You always wanted to make a name for yourself, did't you? So now is the chance, go live your dreams Achlys, you have been confined with me at the place for a long time" replied her mother.
"Go study at the Royal Academy and make friends"
"The Royal Academy but why would they want me? Isn't that school for royalties"
"They might have got to know about your talent of singing"
"But what about the animals and my magical powers? I can't show them to the outside world" she asked.
"Oh, about that you have to be extra careful, don't worry you can go in the morning and come back till the evening as you can reach there in no time with your unicorn" her mother instructed and took out a school dress from a bag.
"Mom, my unicorn has a name, her name is Mora" she reminded her mother for the hundredth time.
"Now there are enough talks let's see if this dress will fit you" her mom held the dress to her body before giving it to her.
Looking at her sad face she smiled "Don't worry I will take care of here, trust me.
"You should go live your dreams before it's too late".
Laura noticed the sadness in her mother's voice.
"Are you, OK?" she asked.
"I am fine but you don't forget" her mother started.
"Dreams are not meant to be dreamed, they are meant to be fulfilled".
While she completed it.
"Now go and pack your bags you have to go from tomorrow"
Her mother told her and went to the kitchen.
The school in which she was going to go was a dream school. The Royal Academy is the most Prestigious School in the whole Enchanted Islands at the current moment in time.
She was somehow happy but a little sad too as she will miss the forest, the animals and the fragrance of the wet soil.
She will not get enough time to do all her works and go to the forest but she has to go, her dreams and the outside world are waiting for her and she will definitely fulfill her dreams.
She will and that is if her past didn't came chasing her.
