Bright light filtered into Sophie's room, and she glanced around, panicking as she tried to remember where she was. Gasping she sat up as she remembered. Today was her first day of school. Her family was mourning her 'death', and she was in the lost cities with her new guardians. Grady and Edaline.
Standing she grabbed her uniform and ran into the bathroom, she pulled the fitted black long-sleeve shirt over her head. She hopped on each foot as she pulled on her fitted black pants before she fumbled with the buckles on the gray/silver vest. She grabbed the black steel-toed boots and struggled to get them on. Standing she took a deep breath she headed downstairs holding the silver-studded black half-mask in her arms.
"Sophie, your up"
"Early?" she interrupted Grady, meeting his crystal blue eyes and smiling "Force of habit"
"OK, well what do you want for breakfast?" he asked her motioning her to sit down.
"Well what do you suggest?" she asked not knowing about what Elves ate for food.
"Stop right there Grady!" Edaline said as she came in, "Don't take his advice on foods you'll end up grossed out."
"Oh. Ok, what do you suggest then" She asked smiling, gasping when Edaline snapped her fingers and a bowl with orange slush appeared. Sophie just stared,
"Oh, sorry I forgot to mention I'm a conjurer I can make things appear if I know where they are," Edaline said when she saw the look of shock that Sophie knew was on her face. Sophie nodded as she cautiously took a bite of sludge from the bowl. In surprise, she tasted pumpkin spice french toast. She scarfed it down before asking Grady to help her leap to Exilium. He nodded and she put on her mask and pulled her hood up as he leapt her there giving her a nod before leaping away.

Sophie walked slowly forwards when she felt a rope snag her ankle yanking her into the air, she realized she was supposed to get down on her own when she spotted a group of kids in uniform, waywards they were called for some reason, and three figures standing with their arms crossed one with a blue hood, another with red, and the one in the middle with a purple hood.
Groaning Sophie thought grinning she remembered the lighter she had from the forbidden cities. She pulled it from her boot and flicked it until she saw a flame she pulled herself up and set fire to the rope holding her. She felt the flame burning her leg as she dropped to the ground, she landed, sitting up she pocketed the lighter as she frantically tried to stamp out the fire burning her leg, with her hands.
Someone pulled her up and brought her to a tent where they stopped the burning and wrapped her leg before handing her another pair of pants, she slid the identical fitted black pants minus the burned cloth on over her bandage and stood slowly before walking out. The people stared at her and the teacher in the red hood walked up to her dipped her hand in a bowl of red and put it on her right shoulder.
"I'm Coach Bora, welcome to the right hemisphere. Head to tent red." Coach Bora said.
She walked to the red tent, and sat on a mat in the back by a girl and a boy that were sitting very close to each other, a boy came and sat by her glancing around before saying,
"I'm Ruy I know Gisela." Before going silent, as Coach Bora walked into the tent.
"Today we will be practicing Telekinesis."
Sophie sat confused, when she heard Ruy,
" use your gut to lift it hold your hand out and hold it in the air." He said before going silent again. She did as he said managing to figure it out for when school came to and end, she waited for Grady since she couldn't leap home yet. As she waited she saw the boy and the girl, looking at the pin she noticed she was a hyperkinetic. The boy was a shade whatever that meant. The coaches gave her another bead, and Ruy walked up to her,
"make sure you get help with the basic skills for so you don't get in trouble" he said before leaping away.
She saw Grady and went to him, as the leapt away.
