Amme sat in her room. Her room is inside Malistaire's house, but he hardly comes here, due to obvious reasons. Her room looks like every Goth girls dream room, but since she changed back to her old self, she hated the room now. She seemed to have been crying over the past hour. Crying about the horrible things she did… thanks to Malistaire. She hated him, she deeply hated him. Amme got up from her bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She was a mess, her hair stuck to her face because of the tears.
"Look at me… what a lame excuse for a person I am!" exclaimed Amme as she punched the mirror and it shattered. She didn't care if that caused 7 years bad luck. She ignored the cuts on her hand due to the punch and went back to sit on her bed. What to do, what to do? She thought as she sat there.
Emma most probably doesn't want to see her ever again. She could see the hatred in her eyes, hatred for her. Who could blame her? The darkness inside her took control and she went and injured her and her friends, plus murdering one of them and almost killing her girlfriend, well, sort of. She had to do something to pay back for what she had done. This guilt she had was killing her slowly inside.
There was a sudden knock on her door and wondered who the hell it could be. She growled in frustration and went over to the door. "Yeah, yeah, I'll open the door" She opened the door to reveal a hooded figure. The slender curves obviously gives away that it is female. Amme took a step back, alarmed.
"Who are you?" asked Amme, a bit scared of this trespasser.
The hooded girl said nothing and grabbed her by the collar. She then shut the door.

Emma walked into the Ravenwood Campus. She turned her head to her left and sees the Myth School and its tower. She then looked over at the Life School. Getting an idea, she looked into her backpack, mindful of Princess Emma being in there, and took out her Training Points. She has 8 of them to use. 7 of which she can train up to get Satyr spell. (1) The last one she'll get Stormzilla with. The blonde girl didn't know why, but perhaps Life shall be her 3rd school, because of her need to protect her friends and prolong battles.
Emma walked over to the Life School, hoping that Moolinda Wu is not teaching right now. She opened the doors of the Life School and walked in. She sees that Moolinda Wu is tending to some of the plants in her classroom. The cow professor sensed that someone came in and turned to look. She smiled and welcomed Emma. "Good evening, Miss EmeraldBlossom" She said in her beautiful calming voice.
"Good evening, Moolinda" greeted Emma as she walked up to the Life professor. Moolinda Wu began to water some of her plants, "What brings you here this lovely evening, young wizard?" She asked, not really looking at her.
"I've decided to let my 3rd school be Life so I am here to train, is that possible?" asked Emma, a bit shy.
Moolinda turned back to look at her and smiled. "Yes of course, I'm glad you chosen life to be part of your studies" She finished up her gardening and then proceeded to teach Emma about life… for a quick while since time is short.
"Well as you know, without Life there are no other schools. Life is the very balance of music and songs throughout the spiral. We use songs and music to bring forth magical creatures to help aid others. Life spells are not one to attack, rather to help those in need, hence healing others"
"To make this quick and easy for you, just relax your body and listen to the music of the life around you. Once you do that, summon this Imp spell" She said, handing her the Imp spell.
Emma nodded and sat down, folding her legs across one another, closing her eyes as she began to relax her body and clear her mind. She heard the water flowing from the water falls, the birds chirping happily, and other music of life. The blonde felt an incredible rush of life power flow through her as she then, without looking, waves her hands around and summoned out the Imp. She opened her eyes to see the little green guy flying about.
Emma smiled at her own success. She then stood up to look at Moolinda, who is smiling. "Very good, young Emma, you now have grasped the power of life"
5 or so minutes later, she came out of the Life School with her new life spells in her deck. Imp, Leprechaun, and Seraph she didn't add to her deck, however, Sprite, Spirit Armor, Legend Shield, and Satyr she did. Emma then headed over to the Storm School to learn her Stormzilla spell. Once inside she sees that Anna is growling in frustration of trying to make some sort of Storm offering.
"Oh hello there, Emma!" greeted Halston Balestrom
Anna turned her head to greet her sister, "Hey sis!"
"Hey little sister of mine" Emma greeted to Anna as she then turned her attention to Halston Balestrom, "So what is Anna doing?" Halston Balestrom watched as Anna once again made the storm offering explode. Anna's face was covered with soot and she coughed up some smoke. He then turned to Emma, "Ah she is still failing to get that storm offering working so that she may offer it to the Storm Lord in Triton Avenue. I swear she is a good learner, but not good at physical labor" commented Halston
"H-hey!" yelled Anna
Emma giggled as she showed him the training point, "I'm here to learn my final storm spell here" Halston Balestrom rubbed his hands together in excitement, "Ah excellent! Let us get started then!"
He hopped onto his desk and pulled out a several copies of the Stormzilla spell and threw them to her, which she instantly caught easily. "Now, remember what I said to you on your previous spells, don't worry if you fizzle, it is a common thing we storm people do. Concentrate and focus on your inner thunder!"
Emma closed her eyes and relaxed. She let the energy flow into her. After a moment or two, she waved her hands around and played Stormzilla. She opened her eyes to see a storm egg beneath her feet. It cracked open revealing a baby Stormzilla. It then grew and grew until it was so big, it broke through the roof.
"Ah don't worry about that, my insurance covers that, good job!" said Halston Balestrom
Anna clapped her hands, "Nice one sis!"
Emma headed back outside and looked toward the Myth Tower. No point in stalling now, she has to get this over with. With a sigh, she headed over and then headed into the tower. Upon entering, she sees Cyrus Drake impatiently waiting for her. He scowled and shook his head at her, "That certainly took you long enough to get here! Taking your sweet time did you?"
The blonde growled at that, she really did not like this man. "Let's just get this over with. I don't why you bother wanting to try and test me anyways!"
"I need to know if you have what it takes to defeat my brother and for that you must be tested. Stand your ground!" said Cyrus
The Duel Arena appeared and the battle commenced. The pointer chose Emma to go first. Given that she is facing against a person that pretty much has every Myth spell to date, she has to be cautious. She drew 7 cards and looked at them, Legend Shield, Sprite, Helephant, Fire Blade, Fuel, Wyldfire, and Kraken. She has two power pips while he had 3 power pips since he is more experienced.
Emma knew he can only play Minotaur or Earthquake with those. Probably not Earthquake since it is pretty darn weak and Minotaur hits twice, one weak, one stronger. She played Fire Blade on herself and braced herself for what he might send out.
Cyrus just played Myth Blade. Emma felt nervous, what could he be planning? She drew another spell card from her deck, Phoenix. She now has 3 power pips and he having 4. Being cautious, she played Legend Shield. A Death and a Myth Shield hovered around her feet.
"Being cautious has its advantages, but that won't protect you for long" said Cyrus
He waved wand around and played a spell. There was a crack in the middle of the field that was wide open. A sword came out of the crack and something slithered out. Emma gulped as she realized it was the Medusa, half snake, half person. Her hair still looks like snakes as she eyed Emma's every movement. A second or two later, she let out a hiss, attacking Emma. It didn't hurt much due to the shield, but then the Medusa stunned her with her piercing gaze.
"Now you are stunned for 2 rounds" Cyrus said simply
Emma only half heard that as she was seeing stars. "So many stars… whew" She kept on blabbering like an idiot. Cyrus rolled his eyes as it is his turn again. Myth Blade and then played Cyclops on her. The one eyed man came out of the ground with his mallet. He flexed his muscles for a bit before conking Emma on the head with the mallet.
"Ow son of a bitch!" Emma yelled, getting out of her stunned faze. Cyrus just said tsk tsk, at her. She growled and drew her next spell, Stormzilla. She has 6 power pips now. She played Fuel on him, 3 separate Fire traps appeared around him. Cyrus got one of the traps off using a spell of some kind.
The blonde's turn again, drawing Satyr in her hands. She played Wyldfire, a burst of flames erupted and then surrounded the field, heating the area. Cyrus was sweating due to it, but kept his cool. He played Myth Blade on himself again.
"Time for some intense heat, Cyrus!" Emma yelled as she drew Asteroid. Then with some intense fiery concentration, she summoned out Helephant. A Huge Tower of flames erupted in the middle of field as if about to greet some powerful being. The Helephant emerged from the flames with a trumpet from its trunk, sword in hand. It stomped its foot on the ground before slashing at Cyrus with the sword. His health circle dropped down to three quarters. She has to keep using attacks like that to bring him down.

Meanwhile….
The hooded girl led Amme to some sort of machine in some very dark place, still taking her by the collar, "W-what are you doing?" asked Amme, frightened.
The girl said nothing in response and pressed a button on the machine. A capsule appeared next to the machine and opened up. She shoved Amme into it and then closed the capsule on her. The hooded girl pressed some buttons and flicked some switches before turning on the main switch that activates it. A stream of electricity went through the capsule. A piercing scream echoed throughout the area as the hooded girl watched in silence.
A minute or two later, the screaming stopped and the capsule stopped flowing with electricity. With a snap of her fingers, the capsule opened to reveal Amme in much different clothes than what Emma is wearing. Her clothes have been replaced with a black and red magic top, a small black and red skirt, a charming red and black hat, and red hot and black flip flops. Her lips were coated in red lipstick. She, however, still looks completely like Emma though, but somehow, she is a different person. She does not look evil in anyway shape or form, her eyes held no evil intent, only good ones. From anyone's first hand observation, she is remarkably hot.
Amme walked out of the capsule and stared into the eyes through the hood. "Thank you" The hooded girl just nodded in response. Amme summoned out her sword. Her sword is way different than Emma's. Although it is a fire sword, the grip is decorated with Ruby Gems, and the blade had a huge Fire symbol on it. The sword glowed with enormous fire power.
"Let us go…" said Amme
"Right behind ya"

"GRYPHON!" yelled Cyrus
Gryphon is a rank 9 Hero spell that attacks all enemies and removes all charms. A huge nest appeared in the middle of the field. Emma gulped as she braced herself for an attack. A Huge bird like head peaked out from the nest and looked at Emma. The Gryphon then shot up into the air with a squawk. It then dived into Emma with a ton of force that nearly knocked her down. All of her blades were removed after the attack.
Emma struggled to stand as her health circle is almost depleted, just a little bit of it showed. She knew she won't die because this is simply a battle to test her skills. She looked at Cyrus's health, he only had one sixth of it remaining. He used all of his pips with that attack, while she had 2 power pips.
"Better think of something fast or you'll fail the test and it shall be my pleasure to give you a big fat F" said Cyrus with a smirk
"NEVER!" Emma yelled
She drew her next spell, storm trap. Princess Emma made some movements in her backpack and a pixie came out to heal her to a quarter of her health. "Thanks princess" She had no blades on her or any traps on Cyrus so she had to think fast of how to defeat him. She used her sword spell and slashed Cyrus in the stomach.
"Violent are we? Very well" Cyrus summoned himself out onto the field and attacked Emma with massive Myth force.
"… ow…" Emma said as she drew her next card, Asteroid.
"Heheh, you are practically always there for me, Asteroid" Emma thought, as she placed the spell in front of her. "I'm afraid this test is over" Cyrus raised his eyebrow at that, "Oh?"
"Yes. Allow me to turn it into you and get an A plus!" Emma giggled as she played Asteroid. A big fat space rock appeared above the duel arena. It then slammed its way down upon Cyrus, defeating him.
The Duel Arena vanished and Cyrus Drake appeared to be unmoved by how the battle went. He just shrugged, "Hmm, your better than I thought you be. Very well, you have passed, but don't get cocky, my brother is far more powerful than I am"
Emma just grinned as she enjoyed the victory and sense of pride of defeating a Myth teacher. "Let us head to Dragonspyre so that we can take the necessary next steps to finding where Malistaire is hiding" said Cyrus

Emma, Anna, and Destiny appeared with Cyrus Drake in the Basilica. The sky is very dark red and threatening. The heat is unbearable, but not to Emma, she seemed to have gained more fire power just absorbing the area around her. Everything looked to be destroyed and there is practically lava everywhere, not a drop of water anywhere. The smell is horrible as well. Up on the mountain stood the Dragon Titan itself, it seemed to be sleeping… for now.
"This is Dragonspyre. It used to be one of the most beautiful worlds in the Spiral. Now it is just a fiery wasteland thanks to the Dragon Titan" explained Cyrus
"Yeah, this place is a mess" said Anna, covering her nose from the horrible smell of the place. Who knew a world like Dragonspyre would be like this.
"And hot too, I'm like melting" Destiny said, sweat forming on her face as she tried to clean them off.
"Eh I'm ok, but then again I'm fire" Emma said as she looked at Cyrus, "So, I assume Malistaire is planning to awaken the Dragon Titan to bring back his wife Sylvia Drake from the dead and take over the Spiral"
Cyrus nodded, "Yes… that is correct" Anna did not like the sound of that at all. Like, waking up a Titan? That will surely cause a lot of chaos and the idea is just plain crazy. Malistaire might just get killed too! "How the hell will he control the Dragon Titan? The previous lords of Dragonspyre lacked the will to even command the Dragon Titan, I doubt he will be any different!" said Anna
Cyrus nodded again, "Yes, the idea does sound farfetched and too risky for Malistaire, but like that will stop him. The Dragon Titan won't listen to just anyone so as soon as it is awake, it will cause doom on the Spiral. So, let us find a way to stop him before he has the chance to do so"
With a wave of his wand he pointed at the portal off in the corner that is named, "Dragonspyre Academy" The Portal opened up and ready to take in people. He cleared his throat before starting again, "Go through there and find a way to get to the Great Spyre. There is no way you can make it up there by foot in time and besides you'll not last a second"
A high piercing growl was heard from the mountain, signaling the Dragon Titan is about to wake up from its long slumber. "Go quickly, I'm counting on you" said Cyrus as he motioned them to move along.
The girls didn't need to be told twice as they jumped into the portal into Dragonspyre Academy. Cyrus shook his head and sighed, "I can't believe I have to do this, but I must"

Inside of Emma's heart, Valerie stood on the glass platform with her long storm sword in hand. She sighed and looked through her deck a bit. She looked at every spell in her deck whether death, storm, and prehistoric with affection. She smiled; she loved her deck as it brought her many treasured memories of defeating lots of deadly and powerful opponents.
If there was one thing she loved more than her deck is Fleur. She sighed sadly, she wanted to bad to be with Fleur in heaven. She cannot bear another day in Emma's heart. All the purple haired girl hoped is that Emma will be able to pass her test and go on to defeat Malistaire so she can live happily with Fleur in heaven forever.
Valerie is going to make sure Emma is going to learn a thing or two in this test of hers. Her test is not going to be like Cyrus'. Oh hell no… she is going to make this a very tiring experience for her, as cruel as that is, it is necessary. "Time to bring her here…"

Emma, Anna, and Destiny walked through the ruins of the Academy together, wondering how the hell are they going to find a way to get up that mountain without burning themselves to death.
"Perhaps a drake would work… but how are we going to find a drake nowadays, they are practically almost extinct in this place" said Destiny, looking around.
"I don't know" Emma shrugged, "But we better find one or something else fast, time is short" She then gasped as her head threw back. Destiny and Anna turned to look at her concerned. Emma fell down to floor, limp, and was unconscious; her mind is now somewhere else.
"D'oh! Great now she is unconscious, I bet Valerie did this" said Anna
"Well hope you like having a sore back because we have to carry her" said Destiny, as she picked up Emma's legs while Anna has her head. "Man she is heavier than she looks" Anna remarked, not liking the weight of her sister.
"Lighten up, Anna, and starting moving" said Destiny
Both girls carried Emma off somewhere as they looked for something to go up the Mountain with.

Well there you have it. Short and a bit sloppy, but Angel is going to edit the whole story once it is done. She'll make it a lot better. Anyways, stay tuned for the next chapter as I am going to be tested to my limits against Valerie. Man, wish Brooke can wake up… getting off topic, anyways, what kind of tests does she have in mind for me? We shall see, adios!
