" I almost forgot, Nerina you won't believe what is happening , or should I say the news I heard at the store just now " Mervin said
" What happened you sound a bit tense is it a serious issue " Nerina asked after serving Aria and sitting at the table.
Every ones eyes were on her as the tune she used deserved such unusual attention.
" Well the ancient phoenix that has been watching and protecting us. Is going to arise from its place and come out...." Mervin said.
" What?..why?" Mervin asked shocked
Not just her but every one on the table was shocked.
" It has arisen to choose a bride for the prince our soon to be king " Mervin said
" Wait I don't understand the phoneix Ignara is going to be the one to choose the Prince's bride.
But all the royal brides come from the Vayne clan, so if the phoneix were to choose it could be anywhere and anyone" Nerina explained making all the ears of the unmarried girls at the tables to be at alert.
Grace in particular thinking this opportunity was meant for her, and she could grab the prince.
" And it has been passed down that Ignara the phoneix can never be wrong" Nia added dropping her spoon in her empty plate.
Aria could hear everything about the phoneix but heard one thing in mind that no matter what although she was beautiful that they were still other more beautiful girls in the whole of Elarion so it couldn't be her.
The topic went on for hours at the table, as Aria was already too tired to sit and went to her bed to sleep.
*****
That horns from the sky caught everyone's attention as it wasn't any rumor but real. The leader of the Ashern Circle was right in the middle of the sky his reflection like a big cinema it was real, he was telling everyone all clans both inferior and superior that the phoneix Ignara
Has emerged after so many decades and wants to choose the bride of the soon to be king .
Stating that it could be anywhere Inside Elarion , and they will walk behind the phoneix in its journey and immediately the bride was chosen she would leave for the palace.
It was good and bad news at the same, a lot of people considered it as a big slap on the face of the Vayne clan that the phoneix has come to take a bride for the prince and the phoneix can never and has never been wrong.
All the girls around started putting on special make up perfumes and shining balms making sure they were always outside ,to see if the phoneix is going to pass.
Even Alex and Grace partaked in this ridiculous act as Aria rated it to be , living her life in her own terms and was getting ready to leave for the university.
Her departure at first was only going to last a week, it was regarded as orientation and screening week .
Each person will be given a room , and all processes to be cleared will be carried out during that particular week.
She never let the issue of the ancient phoneix mission tie her down, because just as the phoneix movements she was also moving.
Her luggage was packed by her mother, making sure all the things she needed for that one week will be evenly ready for her to use.
The whole house escorted her to the big beautiful bus that was organized by school to take all students from the Ardentis clan.
Aria's step was heavy as she entered the boss she sat close to window and could see her family waving at her , especially Alex's glowing skin looking like a mirror.
" It's just one week " Aria said to herself as she didn't want to get too emotional it was her only way of consoleing her heart not to weep.
The bus set off on the smooth journey , Aria and all her fellow students all hailing fromthe Ardentis clan, pinned their necks and faces to the window
As most of them hasn't set their foot out of that place since they were born.
The sight of other clans, people, building and dressing really empressed them making the journey more unforgettable.
The frosting breeze carrying tiny golden pieces of lily's dust splashed all around the bus.
Before they could think further they were already at Elarion university as it was located at the middle part of Elarion.
The gates were beautiful bearing the wonderful and beautiful phoneix.
Statues of great warriors of different clans , special figures, and Role models.
" Come down now " Mrs Rosetta said stano at the door of the bus .
Quickly they did rolling their luggages down.
" I'm Mrs Rosetta , warden of the Ardentis clan hostel, kindly follow me to know your specific rooms" Rosetta explained in her Deep purple Suit with golden tie and black heels. Her hair brown neatly pinned at the back.
" Ardentis clan hostel!!.., I thought it was general hostel for everyone, never knew marginalisation still got in here" Billy a young woman said as she was walking close to Aria
With other students at the back in two straight lines following Rosetta .
"Huh" Aria scoofed as her words seemed to make sense.
" Yes, I'm Billy. And you " Billy introduced herself.
" Aria" Aria replied still walking along.
Soon they entered the hall way.
" Nice name an Ardentis?" Billy asked
" Yes everyone on this bus is an Ardentis" Aria answered
" Yeah suspected it " Billy said nodding her head.
Finally they got to their hostel building a seperate kind of building.
Aria was placed in a room and do did the rest people also get a room. It was a small room but with a nice soft bed a bathroom and a wardrobe.
And also a little balcony extended at the window part.
Aria unpacked her things placing them neatly on the wardrobe, not wanting to waste any much time she has.
