Meet Anna Flowers. Without knowing it herself yet, she will become the founder of a Legacy. Right now she is a student at Academie Le Tour with only a very small scholarschip. Let me explane you how she ended up there.

Anna was born to a very loving mother, a single mom. Her father left the family before Anna was even born and Anna and her mother had to make do with very little money. Although money was tight, Anna’s mother tried to raise her as best she ould and stimulated her to pursue knowledge as a way of getting out of their current way of life.

Anna was very sensible to the situation she grew up in and the attempts her mother made to change her possibilities in life. In fact, she even enjoyed reading the books that her mother brought her from the local library and somewhere in her teenage years, Anna had already finished all the books of the library. She knew there had to be more things to know, but she was afraid their current situation wouldn’t allow her to pursue it.

Then, tragedy struck poor Anna and she lost her beloved mother when she just turned eightteen. Now she was all alone with little money and no means to change her life at all. She got a parttime job at the local library, everybody knew her there.

An older collegue had pity on her and asked what she would like to do in life if she only would follow her heart. “To go to university and get to know everything there is to know,” was her rapid answer to this question. But she quickly added that going there would probably remain a dream for the rest of her life. To her surprise, the collegue informed her that there were possibilities for students like her, that there was a very basic scholarship she could apply for. Besides life in a student dorm wasn’t as expensive as renting a normal house and everything.

Anna hardly dared to think about university, but she was too excited and wanted to know if her collegue had been right. She called Academie Le Tour and asked about the basic scholarship. As it turned out, everything her collegue had said was true and within a month Anna started her college life in a dorm.

Anna studying

She was even as lucky as to get a room with a computer and soon she found herself writing her term paper, do assignments and going to classes. Moreover, the dorm had all supplies needed to improve her other skills, things she didn’t have to means to learn before like painting and playing chess. Although her scholarship was only small, she could live very well off it. The dorm offered everything she needed and she got to know some other people too.

She decided to choose Biology as Major, as it would offer the best background to pursue a medical career. It was really her dream to work in the hospital and become a Chief of staff. With this education and the friends she made in college she was sure she would have everything needed to become a good doctor.

Playing chess

When Anna didn’t have to go to class or to do an assignment, she enjoyed playing chess the most. It really stimulated her brain and allowed her to get to know her dormmates at the same time. Soon she had made a few friends, only by playing chess with them.

Because of her strong motivation and her good brains, Anna finished her first year in time with an A+. With it, she received a large sum of money. Anna missed her mother very much and had wanted more than anything in the world to tell her about her results. But soon she met someone who would make her forget about her grief most of the time…..

Flirting with Neil, the Llama mascot

One day, the dorm was visited by the local mascot, a Llama. He run around doing some school cheers, until he suddenly noticed Anna. He stopped and started chatting to her. Very soon they were laughing at each others jokes and having a good time. Anna started to feel really special when she saw the look of the mascot on her. She wanted him to stay around for ever and to continue laughing like they were doing now. But she didn’t even know his name…..

It took all of her nerve to propose herself as Anna Flowers and ask him about his name, which appeared to be Neil Fairchild. Although she had no idea how he would look like under his costume, Anna was really impressed with this man. Apparently Neil was interested in her too and started to flirt with her. At first Anna didn’t know how to react, but soon she flirted back at him. She could feel there was something going on between them.

Anna and Neil dancing together

All of a sudden Neil asked her if she wanted to dance with him. Of course she wanted to and they danced for a while. First they were dancing without holding each other but soon Neil drew her closer to him .

Neil hugging Anna

When he was really hugging her, Neil started to stroke Anna’s back and whispering in her ear about how beautiful she was. Anna didn’t know what was happening to her. A few hours ago she was studying quietly and now she was hugging the Llama mascot. She only knew Neil for a couple of hours and already she had fallen in love head over heels.

Neil kissing Anna

When the music stopped, Neil said he had to go. There were other dorms to be visited before he had to go to bed. He wanted to know if he could see her again tomorrow night. Anna said that was difficult because of her exam, but she would call him when her exam was over. Neil agreed to that and kissed her goodnight very gently.

After he had gone, Anna could’t bring herself to get into her bed. The events of the night had really taken her by surprise and she was stunned to find out there were other things besides going to class and studying. Things that were fun and exciting too. She just had to study hard and pass this exam, so she could see Neil again very soon.
