Farah: I need to get in its head we need to know if this is an isolated incident or something more
Saul: Something more ? Like what ?
Farah: I found two changeling in the First World one in California and one in Australia
Saul(sigh): Changelings ? I...
I look around kinda lost and just decided to check my phone the text said "meet Stella at Alfea Gates" I look around and decided to just go for what I thought was the gates where I see a blond girl and a red-headed girl talking.
Me: Hi which one of ya is Stella ?
Blondie: I'm Stella and you must be Crystal
Me: Nice to meet you (look at the red head) and ya are ?
Red head: Bloom nice accent by the way
Me(smirk): I'm from Australia I'm guessing ya from America
Bloom(chuckles): that simple to know ?
Me(raise an eyebrow): hun no one except Americans say something about my accent
Stella: Now shall we get going girls
We nod and she start to walk off and we just follow her with our small suitcases.
Stella: Miss Dowling tells me that this is your first time in the Otherworld for the both of you. I hope your trip is painless
Bloom: Miss Dowling gave me a time and location where there'd be a gateway.
Me: Same here it was kind of in the middle of nowhere so not very convenient
Stella: the headmistress likes to do things by the book and keeping your world a secret from ours is chapter one. No matter how inconvenient it may be, but if you ever want to go back
She shows us her ring which makes me smirk.
Bloom: that's a whole lot of ring
Stella(proudly as she stops walking): family heirloom. Getaway ring. The only thing that keeps you sane in this place is the ability to leave it (start to walk again) Your world may not always be thrilling but it beats this one. There are seven realms in the Otherworld, each is a different kind of boring
We continue to walk as we stop at the room we'll be sharing with other girls to drop off our suitcases and start to walk again until Stella leave us with miss Dowling who make us walk in her office.
Dowling: Think of all Alfea as your new home. I'm sure it must be overwhelming for the both of you... an entirely new world
Bloom: and yet I saw no less than three people updating their insta stories I was half expecting a school full of Tinkerbells zipping around
Dowling: Disappointed ?
Me: honestly I'm bummed that I didn't see a single pair of wings
Dowling(look down at her book): Hm. Well we had wings in the past as we've evolved transformation magic has been lost. Also Tink was an air fairy. (Look at Bloom) you're a fire fairy (look at me) as for you your a very rare type of fairy seeing as you're an ice fairy
Me(sigh): Bonza (great) I'm rare so much for wanting not to be remarked
Bloom: so when do we... we start ?
Dowling: classes begin tomorrow you'll both starts with the basics learn to use your magic slowly but safely
Bloom: when you say... slowly...
Dowling: I mean it. Magic can be dangerous (look at Bloom in the eyes) as you well know... our curriculum is designed with that in mind trust the process
Me: the slow process
Dowling: Alfea's graduate have ruled realms and led armies they forged powerful relics and rediscovered long lost magic they shaped the Otherworld if you succeed here you will too
Bloom: well this place the Otherworld, uh... Alfea it seems amazing
Me: this isn't my home
Bloom: I don't need to rule a realm or lead an army and I'm here because you promised you'd teach me control
Me: yeah me too I love my life back in Australia
Dowling: No girls. You're here because you knew you had no other choice
I sigh and get up leaving the room and go back to my dorm with Bloom tailing me.
Bloom(trying to keep up): how do you remember exactly where to go ?
Me(enter the dorm): I got a good memory
I walk inside and go in the room that I'll be sharing with Stella apparently meh I don't particularly care. I take my suitcase and start to unpack decorating my side of the room.

I sit down on my bed and take my phone to call my parents.
Mom(as she answers): Hey how ya goin' ?
Me: hey mum I'm good
Dad: how was your flight ?
Me: long it's a 20 hours flight from Adelaide to Ireland dad how's everything going back home ?

I sigh and go sit on the couch with my laptop.
Brunette: Hey I'm Terra and we'll as you probably guessed I'm a earth fairy (point to the girl with headphones) that's Musa she's a mind fairy... the girl right there (point to black girl) that's Aisha she's a water fairy and you already met Stella and Bloom
Me: Nice to meet ya Terra I'm Crystal and uh I'm an ice fairy...
Terra: You know I find this pretty cool ice fairy are really rare and I think the last ice fairy I heard he's the Queen of the realm of Polaris which is a realm in the north of the Otherworld. It's a frozen place where prisoners are exiled. The population in that realm that aren't prisoners is very small there's only one town it's called Snowmelt. If you want I can ask my dad for some pictures he went there once
Me: of course I'd like to see them thanks oh and Terra
Terra: hm
Me: just thought that I'd warn ya I'm not the showing type with my emotions my parents... my dad's a firefighter and my mum is a nurse
Terra(smile): good to know I'll keep that in mind but I gotta have to warn you I'm the complete opposite !
Me(smirk): Yeah I had understood that
She smile at me and I open my laptop and go see my emails.
