Riuna puts her student card into a hole next to the gate. Then she takes the card and looked at me.
'Now, let's go'
'Go? Where? The gate is still closed?'
'No it's not. It's just an illusion. Come.' Riuna crossed past through the gate and I followed after.
'The Opening Ceremony is still the day after tomorrow, but you'll meet the headmistress now. Every new visitor has to.'
I shook and follow Riuna to the headmistress's room.
The academy city is huge. It has different levels and sectors. There are dorms, cafeteria, a marketplace, and of course the academy itself.
As we walk through the city, many students stare at us as we go.
'Look at that new student, is that what I think it is?'
'Yeah look! It's a human!'
'She looks delicious...'
And many of the whispers. But one look from Riuna silenced them.
'Don't listen to them Erida. These creatures have no delicacy.' I shook in agreement.
Riuna led me into the academy. I was astounded. The academy looked heavenly! Various arcs and domes with each different than the other, high unique shaped towers, beautiful glass mosaics. The academy looked more like a castle than a school.
Riuna stopped in front of a dark oak door. She gestured me to head in first. I knocked the door.
'Come in.' a voice called out.
'Excuse me,' I opened the door and walked in, Riuna followed behind me
'Yes, Miss South I presume? Welcome to Arcadis Academy. I'm Iris Windroot, the headmistress here. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here until the next few years.'
'H-how do you know that I-?'
'Miss Iris is a Knowledge Witch. She knows about everything here occurring in the academy city.'
'Yes, and I know very well of your past as well Miss South. Are you willing to learn about a past you yourself in unaware of?'
Miss Iris asked a question that made my heart skipped a beat. I never knew much about my past. All I could remember is that my real family died in a fire and my current mom raised me when she found me. And now a witch is saying that she knows much about me. I want to... I want to know more!!
'Yes please! I want to know more about my past! I never really remember much from my childhood. Please tell me more about myself!'
