CHAPTER ONE.
"Hey mom.Hey dad. I'm home."Naia greeted as she entered through the door."Hey Naia."Hey baby. How you doing?" Rona and Arore,Naia's parents came out into the corridor door and huggged Naia tight. "How was school? you had fun?" Dad said and nudged her and mom rubbed her hairand took her backpack from her her."Hectic. Not fun. But mom, im starving" Naia said and rubbed her belly, looking at her mom. Mom and Dad giggled ther antics and looked at each other and laughed out loud. "Why are you both laughing at me? I'm really starving." Naia whined."I know, we both know. I prepered your favorite pot of chicken soup. Mom was talking about hungry you'd be, when you got home,seeing how you forgot your lunch money and how you had skipped breakfast too. Come with me into the dining room." Dad said and led Naia to the Dining room.Naia's parents were ordinary common people, with money enough for them, Naia's mom,Rona Brown,being a fashion enterpreneur,and Arore, her Dad, was a chef and owned a Resrurant in the area. Naia attended a regular high school in their community, and their family was known to be a peaceful,strife free, contented Family. She turned 16 some months ago. Simply put, they were a happy family. "Mmmmmm. This soup tastes very nice,Paps." Naia said and took more spoons of the soup. Arore and rona looked at each other and loooked at their Daughter and smiled. "You've got homework? Otherwise, lets head over to the resturant" arore said,pulling out a chair and sat beside naia. "Um,yeah. Ive got a math homework but it isn't due till tuesday next week."she replied,with a piece of chicken in her mouth. "I have a new dress i designed some days ago, and i sew it for you today. Your dad can help you with your assignment later. Finish upyour food and lets get ready to go to Dad's resturant." Rona said and gave her a pat on the hair. "Mmmm.Okay mom,i'll do as you've said." Naia replied and finished her soup dramatically."Kamsahamnida,eomma dul,apa dul." Naia said and put her hands on her stomach and rubbed it. "What langauge is that dear?" rona said as she packed up the plates and then she glanced at her husband who shared a knowing look with her."I forgot to tell you guys. I picked alanguage class. Andd i instead picked korean, since i already speak spanish. So i just spoke Korean to you, and it means 'Thank you mom and dad."Naia said and gulping down a cup of Water."Ooooooohhhh! I love that. Hangul language is actually beautiful and i loved their culture." Arore said,picking up the dishes left on the table to drop in the counter."Not to worry dad i'll get the dishes done. "Naia said and walked into the kitchen to start washing the plates.Arore walked back into the dining and put the dining chairs back in place."Mom what about the clothe you said you made for me ? i'd really love to see it "Naia said still facing the dishes she was doing. "i'll get it for you to try it on when you're done doing the dishes."Rona said wiping the table off. Arore and Rona exchanged looks between them and started to walk to their room. "When your're done doing the dishes, give us a call. You hear me,dear?" arore said and entered the room and closed the door. "When are we gonna tell her all about it, Rona? We have been hiding for 18 years, it is about time." Arore said and turned to look at Rona. "I am so worried about her,knowing what the prophecy saysabout when she clocks 18." he finished. " I am worried about her too. But telling her about her expected powers would prompt us to telling her about her origins as a royal. I'm worried about her and how she would take it." Rona said calmly. The two people looked at themselves,braced with worry and love for their daughter. "Lets get ready to go to the resturant. I'll go check on Naia. We would find a way to protect herdespite anything." Arore said and kissed Rona on her forehead. He opened the door of the roomand walked into their dining room amd then into their kitchen,but saw no signs of Naia. "Naia! Naia. Where are you?"Arore called out. He looked in the hallway and in the liing room, but still no sign of Naia. He went to her bedroom and calledher nae out, "Naia. Are you in there?" No response still. "Arore! Come see." Rona shouted from behind the house." Where are you?" he shouted back, then traced the voice to the backyard. "Out in the backyard." she answered and he rushed out and came into the backyard."What the-" he said in shock and paused. In the backyard, standing, was Naia, glowing and surrounded by golden light. She looked so majestic and beautiful,and didnt seem to be aware of what was going on. "What is the happening, Rona? How is it possible? Typically,no one in the royal family possess sorcery power. thisisthe very first manifestation of a Sorceress. this is unbelievable." Arore said looking totally appalled by the scene in front of him. Rona silently watched Naia and then muttered,"She looks so majestic and beautiful. But nobody with the true blood of the royals running in their veins, exhibits the powersofa sorceress,not evenin mimicry. This is what baffles me the most. The hunt for Naia stated in the prophecy, is this how it begins?"She finished saying fearfully. "But does that mean that original powers belonging to the royals,wont be passed on to her?" Arore asked, his eyes still fixed on Naia who was still totally oblivious to the event going around her. "We are really going to have to tell her about her Identity now,aren't we?" he asked Rona who was still looking at Naia. "No,i am only going to tell her where we originate from and then tell her about her powers,which she just harnessed. I'm going to teach her everything that has to do with ur origins." Rona looked at her determinedly. Rona started to walk towards Naia, when the glow that had been surrounding her started to fade and Naia fell to the ground,unconscious. "NAIA!"
