Mythica Academy ~||~ The Rise of Vixium

Chapter 1

I woke up on my mattress, remembering what had happened last night in my dream

~Flashback~

"Alyssa,"an unknown voice called out

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I am your dragon, Alyssa" It says again

"What? No way, dragons have been extinct for a very long time" I reply in disbelief

"No they are not, they are just being protected by the academy," my so-called "dragon" says

"What's your name?" I ask

"I am Stvar, time is running out my little squirrel, come find me..." the voice trails off and I wake up from my dream

~Present~

I get off my mattress and slip into my bathroom. I wash my face, brush my teeth, and strip, putting my hair up in a bun. I walk into my glass-covered shower area and turn on the shower as cold water hits my legs. I sigh. Are dragons really real? Was all that just a random dream I had? But it all felt way too real...

I clean myself up from the soap and step out of the shower, grabbing my towel and drying myself up. I wrap myself in my towel and head out into my room to my wardrobe.

"Mi hija, get yo ass down here, there's a letter for you!" My stepmother screams from downstairs while I put on my undergarments.

"Sí, mama, I'm coming!" I say as I hurriedly put on a ripped baggy t-shirt and some shorts

So a little background check, my real mother had divorced my father, bringing my brother along with her while my father took me. I was 3. He fell into depression and I did all I could to keep him happy most of the time. A few years after the divorce, my father had found another woman, she was Latina and she loved my father as much as he loved her. I was 7.

I saw him happy for once in a long time, so I started to accept her. They got married two years later. A few months after they had married, the news that my biological mother had passed. I was 9. It didn't affect me as much as I thought it would since I barely knew her, but I came to her funeral anyways to give respect to the mother I never had. We took back in my brother and now, 4 years later, we're living the best life we could ever live.

I head downstairs to see that she was talking to my papa, with the letter that was directed to me on the table. I quietly move over to the table as she notices me.

"Ah, buenos días mi hija (good morning my daughter), you are such a sleepyhead!" My mama laughs at me

"Aya, mama ya sabes como soy (you know how I am)" I reply, giving a sheepish smile back at her

"Mornin, love" My dad says to me and kisses my forehead

"Buenos Días, Papa" I reply, while taking the letter.

The letter was very old-looking, it looked like it was made from papyrus, and there was a stamp - sort of like a 3D sticker that closed the letter. Its outer ring looked like scales and there was a dragon design on the middle of the thing. My eyes widen. Could it be the academy the dragon - "Stvar" was talking about? There's no way, right?

"Buenos días a todos (everybody)" My brother says

"Buenos días hermano (brother)" I say

My mom gives him a squeeze and my dad ruffles his hair

"Aih, papaaa, I just did my pelo (hair) !" My brother complains, making all of us laugh

"Your pelo can wait, we have breakfast" My mom says, amused
