Year 2 | Ep. 1 | The Adventure Begins (Again)

The winds picked up a bit as Kalor shifted her stance to adjust for the added current.

Archery practice, a daily ritual, and non-negotiable at that.

She pulls back on the elemental string of her bow, shooting a flame straight across the sky to her straw target.

Kalor always had a straight face while shooting, but the grin she made when Lin Mark appeared showed her true colors.

No hard feelings.

She said seeing the prince's scowl as he watched his name scrawled in big bold letters across the wicker dummy go up in flames.

You make it so easy not to have any.

I got some news.

Kalor whipped her high ponytail to her shoulder as she turned to face him.

And you're telling me yourself, it's gotta be pretty big news then.

What is it, Lenny? A scowl immediately couldn't be held back again from Linmark's face.

Formalities are as always lost on you.

He was traditionally handsome, in a very lava genasi way.

Dark skin, swirls of red magma scrawling his body, dark hair that somehow never needed to be styled.

Aggravating in a way with how effortless it seemed for him to look together.

In a similar way, Kelor rivaled him, but in a feminine form.

Just another poke to their competitive fire.

I'm headed to Elona.

Galore heard that and crossed her arms.

Oh, you're going to miss me that bad? She already knew he put in the transfer papers.

She saw his name when she went to make sure her dad wasn't putting her name on the team of a goody two-shoes.

I'm only letting you know so you don't go around doing whatever you want and giving Mag a bad name.

Linmark seemed done with the conversation as he turned his back to Kalor and started walking away.

I won't have to now since you'll be there to do that job for me, Princey.

She said towards him, not expecting a response.
