Blackout - Riven - Fate: The Winx Saga

Chapter 1

THE FIRST DAY

It was the first day at Alfea, everyone gathered in the courtyard, meeting up with their friends, catching up after the summer. Soleia watched her sister Stella meet up with the older girls while she stood around looking a little lost.

She had never really known any other people her age growing up, it was always her and Stella being taught by their mom and private tutors. And then, last year, Stella was sent to Alfea while Soleia was left all alone. 

Not like the two girls ever got along anyways, Soleia was always second to Stella. Soleia had no claim to the crown, being that she wasn't actually the biological daughter of King Radius and Queen Luna.

But then again, Soleia never knew that.

She scanned around the courtyard, looking for someone to talk to, someone approachable. She saw a redhead who was looking down on her phone, the girl was as lost as Soleia was. 

"Hey, I'm Leia. Soleia but I like Leia better." Soleia says, approaching her.

"I'm Bloom.. Wait? Are we suit-" She says, giving polite smile before getting cut off.

"Wow, you are so lost." A voice says, approaching the two girls. She turned around and saw a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked familiar. 

It was Sky, Stella's ex boyfriend.. or boyfriend? She never knew what terms they were on. Leia never met him, she only saw him through Stella's Instagram and Snapchat stories.

"I'm impressed with your confidence in the face of complete ignorance. Issue is, you're overcommitted.  I mean, you're essentially running. And now that I'm here, you can't give me the satisfaction of turning around." Sky continues as Bloom walks with him. Leia followed along.

"We don't need help, but thanks." Bloom says, brushing him off. 

"I don't remember offering it. So presumptuous, you must be a fairy." Sky concludes.

"I am a fairy." Bloom says. 

"Sorry, that's just something I never thought I would say." Bloom continues, getting a surprised look from Leia.

"It's an odd thing, considering you're standing in a courtyard of a college for fairies."

"We don't have a lot of those where I'm from." Bloom says.

"And what realm are you from?" Sky asks.

"California?" Bloom says, not sure.

"Oh, you're not from the otherworld?" Sky asks.

"I'm not, and if you really want your mind blown, three months ago, I didn't even know the otherworld existed," Bloom says.

"If you are lost, which I'm not saying you are, and if you need help, which I'm not saying I'm offering. This is the specialist hall." Sky says, pointing.

"And this the fairy hall is that way." Sky continues, pointing another way.

"Oh, the specialist hall, obviously." Bloom nods, laughing.

"Hm." Sky nods.

"And I definitely know what a specialist is." Bloom laughs.

"And I'd be happy to.." He continues.

"Mansplain it? Kinda seems like your thing." Bloom nods.

"Quit perving on the first years." Another guy says, going up to Sky.

"Riv. Just give me one second, yeah?" Sky says, turning around. 

"We should go." Bloom whispers to Leia, and the two go towards the entrance of the Fairy Hall.
