tsuki: child of the moon

prologue

"bye mom, bye dad!" The dark brown haired 19 year old hugs her parents goodbye one last time before grabbing the 5 handles of her luggage. Convincing herself she is confident enough to venture off into the real world, she spins on her heels, only to realize, "The bus is leaving sweatheart!" Her mom shouts.

"hey wait!" her various motley of luggage scrapes against the pebbles that carved the path to her driveway.

her parents worriedly watch as the small young adult woman somehow, gets the bus driver to see her in their rear view window. Slowly the bus slows to a stop.

she steps into the bus with her oversized boots, sighing in triumph as the door closes behind her. "Name?"

"Talula Tsuki." she grins. the bus driver scribbles her name down on a clip board then turns away, showing her to take her seat.

Talula's large witch hat scrapes against the top of the bus, bending the tip slightly. Nothing could stop her now. Nothing could stop her-

"Sit down, dumbass." A boy with wild, spikey blue hair and an arrogant grin on his face says, while looking out the window.

instantly Talula's confidence diminished like a deflated baloon as she almost instantly placed her luggage in the compartment under and above the seat and sat down. as soon as she got comfortable she felt eyes on her. If she didnt, by genes, have to have a magical ability, she would just be a normal girl in a bus to witch school, destined to fail. But not Talula, ever since her youth, she's wanted to be a witch.

Just like Crystal Diamond.

The bus hits a bump in the road and Talula is snapped out of her thoughts. With nothing else to do, she stares out the window. An overpass comes up, the other side was connected to a stone street that was surrounded by beautiful blooming trees. This was a stark contrast to the gloomy forest the tunnel was in.

As the bus went through the tunnel there was a loud crack and suddenly the bus was transported into the Honorable Bewitching Academy campus.

The bus travelled down the road for another hour until it reached the absolutely enormous building covered in vines. The flora even reached the tall towers dedicated to studying magic.

Talula noticed everyone beginning to reach for their bags and carry ons. She realizes she should be doing the same.

The bus jerks in an abrupt stop infront of a large black gate. A tall, red haired woman stood infront of it, a sweet smile on her face.

Suddenly all 60-70 people on this bus got up and scrambled to the door to get out.

After a struggle to push her way out, Talula reaches the sidewalk, in the back of the large group. Due to her height she immediately struggled to see what was going on.

She pushes her way through the crowd to the front.

"I am Professor Starfire. Welcome to HBA!"
