Chapter 1 Ribbon Master

This is a story about three girls and a brother as a sidekick finding out who they are and justifying what's right and what's wrong. But they might have to break some rules on the way.

Creel Trissin's heart beat at a hummingbird's pace as she and her twin brother Calaburn waited to be called up for selection day. Once you finish grade eight at regular school you randomly select a school to continue at.

          There are three schools you can go to, Crescent school, Norax fort of warriors and Aceracks tower. All three schools specialise in different things, Crescent is regular schooling, Norax is war and weaponry and Aceracks is wizardry.

          The most sought-after school is Aceracks, very few get chosen to go there and it teaches the most useful skills one of which being magic. But not everyone who goes there wants to. This is true for the rebellious character Atrix Irodyna.

          Some other unfortunate tale is true for Navene Wynder, she wishes to be normal and go to Crescent school, but you don't always get what you want.

          Now let's go back to Creel and Calaburn, they had both been hoping for different things but will either of them get what they want?

          "Creel Trissin" Someone called from the front. Creels heart starting whirling faster and faster as she took the steps that would change everything. A large bejewelled box lay in front of her. Different coloured ribbons were placed in the box. The colour you picked would determine your school.

          Creel held her breath and reached into the fancy box the ribbons were silky and smooth against her shaking fingers. She finally grasped one, lifting it high into the air she looked at it in disappointment. Blue, the colour of the Crescent school, just about the worst school imaginable.

          "Calaburn Trissin" Next in line was Creels little brother Calaburn. Moments later he came down with the same disappointed expression that was painted across Creels own face. He showed his ribbon, also blue.

          Creel was like most people, wishing, dreaming, hoping to learn magic at the purple school Aceracks tower. Calaburn was wanting to join Norax's fort for warriors so he could finally be better then his sister. But they're going to be stuck together and Creel will still be beating Calaburn at everything.

          Creel looked longingly around at everyone else's ribbons, some kids beaming in excitement, others crying and running home. All the wile she was wishing that she could trade with someone anyone, she would literally take any other school. But sadly, it doesn't work like that. From the moment you take the ribbon out of the box your name is bonded with it. If you were to trade someone would catch you for sure and you don't even want to know the consequences for doing that are!

          But as Creel looked around, she locked eyes with another girl with black hair tied in a neat braid that ran down her shoulder, the other girl had large blue rimed glasses and sparkling green eyes. But this girl was also staring intently at my blue ribbon.

          Before a disappointed Calaburn could beg to leave she linked arms with him and ran towards the girl. Together they stood there in awkward silence until a girl with brown hair tied up in a high ponytail and bright blue eyes came forwards.

          "Ok guys start the conversation like I know you want to." She said. "By the way my name is Atrix what's yours. See that's how you start conversations, you don't just longingly stair at each others' belongings."

          "I'm Creel, Creel Trissin." Creel said. "Good job! Next." Atrix celebrated. "Navene Wynder." The girl with black hair said.

          "Nice! Now whoever this guy is," Atrix said pointing at Calaburn. "Could you please stop staring at me, its weird."
