The pale, blue sky lifted up a shimmering and radiant promise, as the upbeat atmosphere of Cozmos shifted into a tense, yet thrilled environment. Milk veered quietly in her cot, then gently lifted her head and peered out of the stained window of her Dorm.

A bright cerulean climate greeted her. The swaying leaves of the evergreens encouraged her to rise. Milk drowsily sweeped her hair and calmly grabbed her backpack, throwing on her preferred sweater and trousers. Slipping on her sneakers and walking out into the main chambers of her university, she was quickly introduced to a bumbling amount of students. A number of them were flying and zipping across proudly, whilst others insolently showcased their unique abilities.
Milk scoffed annoyingly- and her stomach grumbled awkwardly.
‘I must be starved.’ She reflected solemnly. ‘I haven’t eaten in the past hours!’
She mindfully exposed her wings, flapped upwards and zoomed speedily towards Cozmos’ very own Cafeteria.
Arriving at the large and exaggerated wooden doors, she steadily folded the abundant appendages and entered, revealing yet another peppy and high-spirited ground. Similar to the Meeting Hall, it was covered in flamboyant chandeliers and ridiculous amounts of crested windows. Milk briefly scanned the area, and noticed her friend Saturn gesture towards her. Relieved, she quickly avoided heaps of students and settled at their desk.

“What’s your first class?” Tsunamae questioned knowingly, without gazing above the parchment she was examining. “Mine is Astronomy.”
Saturn blinked earnestly “I’m in fifth year, so I’ll be leaving for History of Gods and Goddesses.”
“I have Astronomy as well. How about you, Milk?” Likada asked mannerly. Milk burrowed into her bag until she managed to fish out a wrinkled and crumpled piece of paper.
“Astronomy! I guess we have the same schedule for this week. Hopefully next week it won’t adjust!”Milk exclaimed, satisfied.
“Let’s head out. The First Bell is nearly going to chime, and we need to get good seats!”
Likada replied hurriedly. The four gathered their belongings and quickly rushed out of the cafeteria, through the corridors, and into the Astronomy classroom, opening the carved oak doors. They waved goodbye to Saturn and entered.
    Highly detailed replicas of several different planets and constellations were strewn across the dimly lit stone-cold room. In the central point was a huge and vividly flashing model of the Sun, surrounded by a barrier of aluminum fencing. Curule seats crowded the entirety of the room as
