    You looked at the castle in front of you in awe. You couldn't believe that this is where you would be studying for the next few years. You weren't able to get into Hexley Hall, but luckily the royal sorcerer of Enchancia decided to take you under his wing.

    Cedric... that was his name.

    You step out of the carriage that you arrived in, and breathed in the fresh air. The castle's high position allowed you to look down and see miles of trees and a small bit of the village.

   "[Name], is that you?" a voice called out, you looked over to the doors and saw King Roland, along with his newly-wed wife Queen Miranda. He approached you slowly, and then stuck out his hand.

   You shook it, "yep, it's nice to finally meet you!" A small part of you was tempted to flirt with his wife, but that probably wouldn't be the best idea on your first day. (What- she's hot?)

"I'm King Roland, and this is my lovely wife Miranda. You probably knew that though, it's a pleasure to have you here in our kingdom. It's quite a walk to the sorcerers tower, but Marie will lead you," King Roland's smile grew as a young maid walked out of the castle.

The maid, Marie, walked over to the carriage and grabbed your stuff.

"This way, dear [Name]," she swiftly walked to the castle, you following behind as fast as possible. God why was she so fast.

You tried your best to look around, but it was hard when you had to focus on the person in front of you. Several times Marie went around a corner and you got lost for a moment, this place was like a maze.

Eventually you lost her completely. You decided to just sit on the floor until someone found you.

Currently you were sitting in a long hallway, several closed doors were scattered around the walls. The only decoration was a portrait of a young blonde girl and a table that held a vase of Lillies. For a bunch of rich people, they didn't have good taste.

After sitting down for a while, you heard footsteps walking around the corner. You looked toward them and saw a young girl in an extremely uncomfortable looking purple dress.

"Hi there, I'm Sofia! Who are you?" She smiled at you, her voice filled with a lot of cheer. Now that she was closer you could see she was wearing a concerning amount of blush and a crown. Must've been a princess.

"Oh. I'm [Name], I'm here to be the apprentice of the royal sorcerer here," you got up as the girl walked closer towards you.

"You must mean Mr. Cedric!" She said his name 'cee-dric', "why aren't you in the tower then?"

"The person I was following, Marie, walked away too fast so I couldn't really keep up," you gave a shrug.

"I could take you there! Follow me!" You followed Sofia, she moved faster than you thought anyone with that sort of dress could. Thankfully she didn't walk as fast as Marie did.

In no time you were out of breath, and at the top of a staircase. Marie was nowhere to be found. In front of you and Sofia was a door, the young girl knocked.

"Who is it!?" An irritated voice called from the other side of the girl.

"It's me Mr. Cedric!" Sofia called out, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
