Chapter 1 - Chapter 1. Entering the academy

From far away, the academy lie on a vast clearing. It's pale white towers clearly visible against the morning sky and the forest cover.

The castle looks enormous, even from this distance.

"It's pretty big, isn't it", a girl sitting in a carriage says while looking out the window. There were two other girls with her, around the same age.

"Yeah, and it's so pretty too!!", one of them exclaimed.

"Honestly could care less, I just wanna get off this darn thing", the other one retorted.

The carriage continues moving until it reaches the academy gates. The carriage jerked once before coming to a halt, the wheels crunch on the pale gravel. When the door opened, the sudden burst of cool air came in, with small traces of magic present in the air.

A girl stepped out as immediately as the door opened, "Nope, I'm never sitting on that darn thing again." She covers the mouth with her arms to stop herself from throwing up.

The other two girls in the carriage step out slowly, one of them goes towards the girl and rubs her back, "it's fine, not like you're gonna die from this, you're just a little sick".

The third girl disturbed their conversation, " she'll be fine, Right Ez. But do you see this place, it's soo big and pretty!!" She squeels from excitement.

"Lean on me, we wouldn't want you too be the first casualty on the first day of academy, would you?", the girl jokes as she pulled her friend up and helped her walked towards the academy gates.

"Thanks" she then looked towards her other friend, "Darn you Xena" she yelled as her friend had long hopped towards the door.

"Forget it Ez, you know how she's like." she said while try to calm her friends anger.

"Let's just go already, I'm exhausted from the constant travel." She sighed.

They walk inside and see a grand water fountain, with a statue standing on a pedestal. Multiple floating balls of water assigned at different places arround the statue, are spewing small streams of water into the fountain.

Light specks seemingly floating on the air like something magical.

Just behind the fountain is a large building, paint like white marble. It's floral patterns are lined with gold and the petals glimmer like colourful crystals under the afternoon sun.

The front door, made of some type of dark wood, has the same design as the rest of the building, with gold lining it's floral design.

As the looks around more, they see many people, a few looked confident, while most nervous.

A lot of older kids, talking to eachother or showing their magic capabilities to their friend or the newer kids.

A few adults are near the building doors, most probably professors, discussing some things.

More and more students come through the gates and look around, some looking awed, some confident, and others with many emotions.

"It's soo big!!", she squeels in awe. "But why does it look bigger on the inside though?" Xena questioned as she looks around.

"They use spatial magic to make it bigger so it occupies less space on the outside" Ezra replied to her question in a slightly exhausted voice. She seems to have recovered enough to walk on her own without falling.

Ezra focuses to try and keep her balance. Aura looks around, observing everyone and everything. Xena looks around in awe of everything.
