The triplets arrived together.Nate was wearing a green robe since that was his favorite color.Alexa was wearing an orange ball gown with her blonde hair tied up into a high bun.Each piece of her Jewelry featured emerald green stones surrounded by diamonds.The necklace had a Y shaped design with the middle one resembling a teardrop.Her earrings mirrored the necklaces with round green studs and dangling teardrop emeralds.Ronnie had a red robe.
My father made a speech about them and said to enjoy this occasion because they only turn sixteen once.They turn bowed and turned to take their seats at the high table.

Everything was going well.The triplets were enjoying themselves and I couldn't wait to give them their gifts after.I had planned to place the spell book that Nate wanted in his room to surprise him so I got to leave.
On the way I tripped and was about to fall but a handsome stranger caught me in his arms with his hand on my waist.Strange.When did that guy get here,I thought.He had the most beautiful features with eyes like molten gold and hair which resembled the prettiest lilac flower.He looked familiar.
"Are you okay?"he asked.I was dumbfounded and lost my composure for a moment.My heart was pounding in my chest for some and I struggled to reply "Yes.Thank you"."No problem",he said as he turned to leave.
"Wait,I didn't get your name,Sir"
"It's Artem"He said in a deep voice that gave me butterflies in my stomach.Before I got the chance to introduce myself he left.Deciding not to dwell on it too much,I made my way to my brother's room to drop the gift.
There were no guards at Nate's room which was unusual but it made things easier for me.I placed the gift on the bed quietly and proceeded to leave the room when I bumped into a guy who seemed to be a guard outside.This guard smelled like blood which was odd."What were you doing?"I asked.
"Just taking a break".
"Okay"I nodded and turn away when I heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed which made me turn.The guard leaped to attack me so I used my hydromancy to create an ice sword.Our swords clashed in the air .Wanting to end I immediately aimed for his heart but he dodged the attack with his right arm that I then proceeded to cut.
The guard was loosing blood at an alarming rate so I thought this was over but his arm started healing quickly and his eyes turned red then I realized.Vampires. I need to hurry up.One of the only ways to kill it was to cut off its head.Using geomancy to restrain him by turning the ground under to his feet to quick sand and vines to hold his arms,I decapitated him.
