"Maria, can you come down for a moment. There is someone that I want to introduce to you." Said Madam Angeline to her daughter.
"Wait for a second mother, I will be there in a moment," I am excited to see whom mother bring to home, and when I arrive at the living room, I saw two man with such a handsome face and a noble aura they have. When I come toward mother, she said...
"Maria, I want to introduce you to Sir Shawn and Sir Isaac. Both of them will be your teacher in education and martial arts. Are you happy getting a tutor who will teach you?" Said mother with a smile at her face and
"Woah, are both them will teach me mother," said I with a happy feeling in my heart.
"Yes dear. Both of them were mother's best friend during our adventure time. Now, why don't you introduce yourself to them?" Said mother.
"My name is Maria Valentina von Fernard. I will be in your care during our study, Sir Isaac and Sir Shawn"
"Such a wonderful daughter you have Angeline. I also will be in you care, Maria" said Shawn and
"Me too" said Isaac with a smile he put at his face.
"Both of them are so handsome" mumbling in my own thought... when suddenly Isaac said
"When do you want to start your practices, Maria" He asked me with a serious face and
"As soon as possible. Can I start tomorrow Sir Isaac? Asked me to him.
"That soon! Wow you are so eager aren't you little lady" Shawn face shown that he was quite shocked with I said and I continued ...
"The faster the better. I don't want to waste time anymore. If I'm just sit at the room doing nothing, then I will have no progress at all." I said confidently.
"Just like your mom, can't even rest for a moment. Always find something to do just to kill time," Isaac chuckled while saying that and
"Ouch, it's hurt Angeline. Can't you please not kick me" said Isaac touching his thigh when my mother kick her and she said
"Well because someone, or both of you guys forgot that I am still here and hearing all of that." Clutching both of her hand and she start to smile, with an EVIL smile...
RUN!!!!! Yes, both of them run away after they saw mother smile like that and mother,
"Wait for me, I will kill youuu......" said her while laughing and running to catching both of them
And the bickering betweenmother and her two best friends continues. I am so happy because mother startto show more her smile compared to before. I swear with my life that I will change. To show to world that one can survive not needing too much type of magic. To show Rayef and the late Maria that I will fulfil the promise that I made to them.
But first of all, I need to start shape my body and prepared with the knowledge of this world.

"Mornin' Maria." Isaac waving his hand to me
"Good morning to you Sir Isaac." Bowing my head to him and he said
"Oh, please. Don't bow your head to me and stop calling me sir. Just call me Isaac okay" Isaac said that when I greet him
"Is it okay to call you with just name" I suddenly feel guilty and
"Yeah. Its okay. Just call me by name. it will be much easier and we can be closer in no time. So, are you prepared for your first training"
"Yeah. I can't sleep at night because I am too excited for this morning training. So, Isaac, what you will teach me?" Eagerly saying that and he said
"Before we start training Maria, I want you to follow me to the forest. I want to stroll for a bit. Would you mind if I do that?"
Forest... humph , I never enter the forest before so,
"Yeah, I think its okay."
And we start to walk into the forest. While walking, he told me a lot of stories about how strong my mom is when she still in the adventurer mode and how they become best friends during those time. It is so exciting to hear about that and without us knowing, we arrive at the entrance of the forest.
"Are you prepared Maria? In this forest, there will be a lot of beast and I want you to prepare yourself that if you make a single mistake while fighting them, you will be dead." He said with a serious face and continued
"But not today. You will fight them after you have practiced and more experienced in fighting. Is it okay with you? Or are you scared......"
"Woahhhhh, are you seriously telling me there are beast living there, like a huge, scary and human eating beast living in the forest?"
"Oh My God!! This will be exciting. I can't wait for when I can fight them with my power." I said with a total excitement and I feel there is a burning sensation in my heart . Its feel like there is a surge in my body that I want to fight with them already
"Okay, young lady. Wait for sec. I said that after you have experience okay, not right now, OK!!"
"Ehhhh... but I want to fight now, hukhukhuk......" while pouting my mouth
"Be patience young lady. Right now, we are just strolling and I want to have a talk with you, it's that okay?" said Isaac while he looking straight at me
"Talk? What talk?" Said me with a confuse face.
"Just you wait. Now I will take you to a nearby waterfall."
"Waterfall! Whoa, I can't wait for that"
"I bet you can't. That place is beautiful you know and I think you will like it."
I hope so with a high expectation in my heart and suddenly...
I fly. I mean I FLY......... with Isaac holding me with a bridal carry style. He said that it takes long time to get there by walking, so that's why we are flying through the air. When flying to our destination, that's when I realize that, I really live in a magic world. When we arrive, I saw a breath-taking view. It's a beautiful place surrounded by the nature. When Isaac land at the surface, my legs feel wobbly and I suddenly slump down because my legs can't stand the pressure.
Isaac crouches down and takes me to a nearby rock to let me sit there.
Maybe it's too much for a little girl to take all of that is what he thinking when he saw Maria suddenly slump down.
"Now, lets us back to our topic. Now, Maria let me ask you a question. Why you want to become strong?" The sudden question make Maria a little bit stunned and Isaac continued
"What's your answer Maria, or should I call you Satou? Isaac chuckled when he finishes the sentences...
How did he know my other name...
