The tale of flightless fairy

The Academy

″Meet you later my young fairies″ Mr. Ether said and his everlasting smile waved us goodbye, as he flew away with his beautiful lotus carriage,

should we enter or wait, here? Ethan asked in his usual not-so-calm voice,

''Oh, Mr. Wise Ethan, if you can't already tell the door, has magic spells on them'' I said raising my eyebrows to tell him to look towards the door of that academy.

″oh yes! meus Albus now your nerves are working alright after...″ he paused and then smirked, and I just groaned as we heard voices coming from above.

'Looks like the rest of the students are coming..,' I said, and Ethan jumped for joy.

"Yes, we arrived earlier because Pegasus has a much greater flying capacity than fairy wings. Pegasus has large wings that are responsible for their magical ability to fly. They are also said to be one of the oldest winged creatures and possibly our ancestors. However, some research suggests that we are more closely related to humans... I kept saying, and, Ethan, just like he usually does just kept nodding,

'Are you even listening?' I asked annoyed by his ways,

'Yes umm..., you said pegasus... and yes, large wings... right? Look, Ellie, they are calling us,' he said and ran away towards them.

I followed his steps muttering all the words, I could think of him, okay it was a monologue but I am always attentive when he speaks even though he usually keeps talking about his ridiculous theories.. still I do... he should also listen to me, right? and just like that, I, weighing down his behavior, and him, acting oblivious to my anger, kept walking and we reached just in time to listen to the old cranky voice of that fairy,

″... so it appears like you all are here, now, let me tell you a little about our pride, Elixir Terrae...″

″Pride seems more like a simple door, I bet the rooms of our paradise are much grander than this,″

We heard the voice, and turned our heads, to see who was speaking, well who other could be it than Ailsa, the orange-colored short hair, and having pink-tint in her eyes,

″Looks like someone got herself in trouble″ Ethan said.

''Yes, she is the troublemaker and attention-seeker, if the topic is about pride, how can she hide?″ I said, and Ethan nodded,

'Looks like Miss Ailsa hasn't seen enough magical doors and realms, and doesn't know, the truth is what lies beyond the eyes and.... lie', he commented and mysteriously smiled, ″ ...so where was I?″

'sir, you were saying something out Elixir Terrae being your pride...' Fay said,

'Okay, thank you, as now I'm being interrupted, it is better, not to tell you..., as your punishment'

'How exactly is this a punishment, who wants to know the history of this, academy, what matters is powers and fun, right?' Ethan whispered in my ears.

I said nothing but felt the surrounding air more silent than usual, as the trees, were quiet, dreading me to go back, good or bad, time will tell, but yes, something was off, I was here hardly for about a couple of hours but it appeared like I had known this place for a very long time, and then I heard a voice, ″Finally, you are here, come here, yes, slowly open the door, touch it, my dear fairy, yes..., now come inside, you don't know, your powers, you don't know yourself..″,

"Ellie, what are you doing here? Get away, otherwise, that old fairy will eat us raw″. Ethan's voice blocked that voice, I looked around and saw that everyone was staring at me. The old fairy seemed to be amused. As I regained my senses, I realized I was standing just inches away from the door with my hand ready to open it.
