where it all began - Rulers of Celestial High (1) ♕

Episode 3

Charis's POV

"Chase? Rose household? You're kidding, right? Don't you-"

"Sorry I- I don't understand. Am I supposed to know him?"

Before she could continue, a loud crash interrupted us. We ran to the balcony, only to see two teachers hauling flying crystal objects at one another in the courtyard as if it was an intense game of "dodgeball". Students around them were in a frenzy as screams echoed from all directions, and that wasn't even the craziest part. On top of all the ruckus, was a teenage boy lying on his side in mid-air, spectating and laughing at the chaos below.

"Seriously...? Not this again..." With a look of disgust, Christabel fished out her phone and began texting. Just moments after, the floating boy turned to look at us, straightened up, and came to land swiftly on our balcony. As if it couldn't get any weirder, he proceeded to a corner and created a forcefield around himself.

"Alright then! Uhm... where were we? Right, tour!" Still as confused as ever, I glanced at the boy wrapped in the force field, trying to comprehend what just happened in the past few minutes. "Oh just ignore him, he'll be gone soon." With that, Christabel looped her arm through mine and led me back into the dorm. It was HUGE! Turns out someone had specifically requested I be given the penthouse suite together with Christabel? Not that I was complaining but it all seemed too good to be true! We were halfway to my room upstairs when we heard yet another round of shouting coming from below us. Christabel sighed and turned to walk down calmly as if it were a daily routine. I trailed behind her quietly and arrived to see what the commotion was about. In the middle of the living room stood the floating boy and a gorgeous girl with purple-streaked hair, arguing through the force field as the girl started knocking against it. She proceeded to conjure up an electric guitar from thin air and in one strum, the force field shattered into pieces! She then grabbed Mr Floating Boy by the ear and dragged him towards the door. "Thank you" she whispered, giving Christabel a hug and me a bright smile before turning around to leave.

"Uhh, I'll explain in a bit. Let's go to the roof first?" Christabel suggested. As a half-air fairy, open space was exactly what I needed just then. We opened the hatch that led to the roof and to say what I saw was beautiful, would be an understatement. Not only was the scenery absolutely breathtaking, but the smell of fresh air and the wind's touch also made it feel like I was back home. However, the peacefulness didn't last as long as I had hoped it would. A loud and firm voice blasted across the school campus, calling for all students to assemble in the courtyard for a welcome assembly.

"Do you know how to teleport roomie?"

"N-no I haven't learned to use it yet, wh- "

Before I could finish my sentence, the whole landscape changed and we appeared just a few steps away from the courtyard. I felt as if I had been tossed about in a tornado as I grabbed onto Christabel's arm to steady myself, resisting the urge to throw up.

"How was the ride?" She asked, smirking at me.

"I think I'm gonna be sick"

"Nah you'll be fine... you'll get used to it."

"How did you even-"

"I'll explain everything later, I promise! But the assembly is starting soon so c'mon!"

Great, more unanswered questions... I muttered to myself as Christabel dragged me to the front of a levitating stage that I swear wasn't there before. A tall, slender woman in a royal blue gown intricately decorated with rhinestones appeared before the crowd. Her long indigo hair was neatly wrapped in a french twist as she took the mic to greet her audience.

"Gooooood morning students! Welcome to your first year at Celestial High. Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Rachel Luna Evans, Queen of the Technology Realm, also known as your principal. You may address me as Principal Evans. I hope most of you have settled nicely into your new environment, begun exploring the campus and started socializing with your fellow Celestians! Now, before I continue, I would like to introduce all of you to the rulers of this realm. Let us give a round of applause to the royal family of the Celestial Realm!"

"Isn't that-"

"Yes, that's the royal family. The purple-haired girl and floating boy from just now are the youngest of the royals."

The King and Queen of the Celestial Realm walked onto the stage, followed by their 5 children, the oldest of which caught my attention immediately. The boy with purple and blue streaked hair, isn't he that stranger from earlier? He's part of the royal family? Chase, Cole, Caleb, Caden, and Clara were their names, from the oldest to the youngest respectively. Chase...? Why does his name sound so-

Just then, a ringing sound pierced through my head. As it grew louder, blurry images flashed across my mind.

"MAKE IT STOP!" I yelled as I clutched my head, writhing in pain. I fell onto my knees, hands on my ears as I tried to lessen the pain. The last thing I remembered was someone calling my name as all went black...
