Imagine, just for a moment, that angels were real.

Not only are they real, but the are also capable of having children with humans.

You probably don't know anything about angels. I thought I did.

I was wrong.

"You're Ember Capelin, right? The girl raised by humans?"

I stared blankly up at the receptionist behind the desk. He was beaming at me. I glared back at him. "What is this place?" I snapped. "Why am I here?"

"You're at Caelum Academy of the Arcane," he said with a big smile.

Caelum Academy of the Arcane. Pronounced CYE-lum with a long i sound, despite being spelled with an 'ae'. Just the name of this place made my head spin. "Why am I here?" I demanded again. "Wasn't I supposed to go to Blythe Academy? That driver must have dropped me off at the wrong stop!"

The receptionist sighed again. "He was a Spyret sent to pick you up and bring you here."

"What about my parents? They think I'm at Blythe!"

"Yes, Everything's taken care of with them. You can visit them over the summer. Trust me, you're in the right place. I'd better call your dorm mates, they'll show you around campus. Let's see...their names are..." he shuffled through some papers, Violet Starflower and Evangeline Meadowlight."

He sent someone to go get them. Two laughing girls came through the office door. One had blonde hair dyed purple. and the other had dark brown hair.

"Girls," said the receptionist guy, "this is our new student. She will sleep in your dorm with you. Today will be her orientation, so just take her to the rest of your classes and show her around campus. Her lessons will begin tomorrow."

Tomorrow. First day at a new school, and I could tell this school was definitely not the ordinary kind.

"Hello!" The girl with the purple hair said. "I'm Violet! Who're you?"

"Ember," I said "Ember Capelin"

"Ember? Your name's Ember?" the brown-haired girl said. "Wow, I really like that name. It's so cool. It fits you; you have red hair. Perhaps you'll be good at fire magic. I'm Evangeline, by the way. Typical angel name. Not nearly as cool as Ember."

Fire Magic? "Can you tell me why I'm here?"

"Why you're here?" Violet cried. "What do you mean why you're here?You're a demi-angel! Why else would you be here?"

"A demi...Wait-wait what? What's that supposed to mean?"

"You mean you don't know?" said Evangeline. "A demi-angel. Your mother was human; your father was an angel."

I blinked. An angel? My father was a freaking angel? I always knew I was adopted by the people who raised me, but they hadn't known who my real parents were. I'd always wondered about my real parents, but come on, an angel? "But aren't offspring between humans and angels supposed to be this weird race of giants or something? I honestly thought angels couldn't mate with humans."
