Agartha - Quest for the Legacy

The next morning:

Brad got ready early in the morning and went downstairs and saw his parents busy discussing something. He didn't disturb them as he made way to the dining table and sat down. No one noticed Olympia sitting beside him. Olympia flicked her red hair and sat there with a bored expression on her face. When no one was watching, she stole an omelet and gulped it down before anyone could notice.

Brad looked at his plate and felt something amiss, but couldn't exactly pinpoint on it. What Brad didn't know was that food was being stolen from his father as well as Olympia. Olympia acted as if nothing happened and looked out of the window.

Brad ate his breakfast to his fill and then said, "Mum, I'll go get ready. You should do as well."

"Okay." Amelia answered shortly.

Brad went upstairs to his bedroom and shut the door before Olympia could enter and started changing his clothes. When he finally finished changing, he turned around only to find Olympia sitting on his bed with a wicked smile on her face.

"How… how did you get in?" Brad questioned.

"Oh, you mean that? Those are easy to handle. Ha ha." Olympia guffawed seeing Brad speechless.

Brad said nothing, but silently approached her with a serious expression on his face. Olympia got scared before she finally succumbed to the pressure and blurted out, "Master, I haven't seen anything. Besides, I came in just now as you finished dressing." Olympia hurriedly explained. Brad said nothing but still approached her. He bent his body and came near Olympia, looked into her eyes and stretched his hand to take the comb lying on the bed just beside Olympia.

Olympia stared at the smug smile on Brad's face and knew that she had been thoroughly played with. She lowered her head and pouted. Suddenly. Brad laughed and his voice spread warmth within Olympia. He said, "You were playing with me, and when I did the same to you, you are sulking." He flicked her forehead as he said that. But he was suddenly reminded of Deablo. His face became gloomy. He asked Olympia, "When can we go to the Derman Mountains?"

"Not before you can successfully train in magic." Olympia replied flatly.

"What?!!" Brad was shocked. He did not know that he had to train in magic. He asked, "Why do I have to learn magic? How do I learn magic? Is it like Harry Potter? Is there an academy?" Brad questioned Olympia non-stop, not even letting her answer.

"Master… Master..wait…" Olympia took a deep breath and answered, "I don't know what Harry Potter is, but you have to learn magic. There used to be a great academy created by my previous Master. You can train there."

"Olympia, I think, you are forgetting something."

"Huh?"

"This is New York. How will I get there?" Brad asked frustrated. He wanted Deablo to be cured as soon as possible. But he knew what Olympia said was also correct. But where will he find a magical academy here in New York? It was impossible.

Olympia was going to say something else when she heard a knock at the door.
