The next day...

Mother had been familiar with stymphs, as they sometimes nest in nearby lands; eventually raising their young, and flying off into the world. The stymphs sorta reminded me of the tree spirits that live here, except the tree spirits don't have wings!

"Good morning y/n are you ready for the big day?"

"I'm more than ready!" I told mother

Mother and I were waiting in a clearing, when all of a sudden we heard a loud screeching sound in the distance. We both smiled at each other

"Guess who y/n?"
I smiled knowing what she was talking about.

We watched as the stymph flew down to us and landed softly on the ground. It shook off its body and stretched its bony wings out as if it was freshening up for its next flight. The stymph was massive;made of bones and old tree branches. All birds need feathers to fly, but this creature didn't have any feathers at all, but it can still fly. Whatever...

"Ready y/n?" Mother asked, before helping me up onto the stymps bony back.

"Tuck your wings in and let them rest while you travel to the school. I don't want you exhausted when you arrive!" Mother told me.

"Yes mother. I love you!"
"I love you to my sweet y/n." Mother said

Maleficent then gave the stymph the go ahead and it leapt into the air. We flew higher and higher Into the clouds. Mother and I fly quite high back in the moors, but definitely not his high!!! The wind was much stronger up here, but the stymph never struggled once while flying...

Eventually we flew out of the clouds and two castles came into view

 The castle on the right was brightlycolored and cheerful looking(ew!) I'm guessing that is the School for Good

The castle on the left was waaay more my style: dark,gloomy, cozy, and an eerie fog surrounded the entire castle. That must be the School for Evil !

"Please tell me you are taking me to the dark castle!" I moaned to the stymph.

The stymph turned its head and gave me a look like it was planning something for me. It started drifting towards the good school!  Nooooooo!

"Oh hell no you featherless freak!" I threatened.

The bird started to make a sound that kind of sounded like a laugh.
Suddenly I became super pissed off, as I was not going to be spending my entire education wearing high heels , and tight poofy dresses(I'd rather someone chop my wings off while I was asleep)...

At the very last second, the bird made a sharp turn in the other direction towards the evil school, and into the fog...

Thank goodness . My guess is the stymph I'd been riding had brought many children to this school, and that's why it pulled its little prank on me...

All of a sudden the bird started slowly descending towards what looked like a murky lake, filled with what looked like...zombies?... no wait... are those children swimming around? What in the literal hell? They look so helpless!
