There is always light in the darkness.It was a somewhat chilly Autumn afternoon in the city of Valoran. Clouds filled the sky, blocking the sun, and the trees ruffled in the wind, multicolored leaves falling from the frail branches and covering the ground.
Towards the center of the city lies a large high school, filled with magic and battles. Durandal Academy is known for its fierce battle education, where teenagers who look forward to joining the league go to prepare.
As the wind blows once more, a bell sounds throughout the school, signaling that school was over for the day. Students began to flood out of the doors, racing towards their dorms to do whatever they please with the rest of their day.
But deep within the school, a group of 5 girls sit gathered in a small room, listening as the rest of the students leave for the day.
On the far left sits a very short girl with long, green hair, a consistent smile plastered on her face as she looks around the room eagerly.
Next to the green haired girl sits a girl who isn't much taller than the green haired one, but this girl has long, blue hair which is pulled back into a long pony tail.
Across from the blue haired girl sits an average height girl with long, red hair which is pulled to the sides in two, long pigtails. She sits slumped over, fingers tapping endlessly on the table in front of her, seemingly bored by whatever is happening, and getting the occasional glare from the blue haired girl.
Next to the red haired girl sits a tall girl with long, purple hair, her hands resting in her lap as she stares at the table, almost as if she's in a daydream-like state.
Lastly, at the far end of the table, a girl with short pink hair stands, fingers laced together in front of her as she looks around the table, observing each of the girls.
After a few minutes of loud chatter from outside, there is silence.
A sigh sounds from the far end of the table.
"Alright girls, let me explain why we are gathered here today." A somewhat high-pitched, energetic voice says, coming from the girl with pink hair.
That seems to catch the other girls attention, as they all turn their heads towards the pink haired girl.
"There is a meteor shower happening this weekend, and the school is having a trip to a lodge in the hills. We are all going as a team-building experience!" The pink haired girl says excitedly, causing a groan to come from the red haired girl and a quiet 'yay' from the other 3 girls.
The pink haired girl smiles and takes out a few sheets of paper from her bag, holding them proudly in her hands.
"These papers have a list of things you all need to complete while we are at the lodge, and you will be put with a partner to complete them. If you don't complete the list, then you will not be able to attend taco Tuesday next week." She says, which causes groans and then gasps from each of the girls.
"Aw come on Lux! You can't do that!" The red haired girl says loudly to the pink haired girl, a chorus of 'yeahs' coming from the other 3 girls.
"I can and I did, now here." the pink haired girl, Lux, says as she begins to pass out the papers.
Lux starts off by handing the red haired girl the first sheet, the name 'Jinx' printed in bold across the top. Underneath her name her partner is listed, and then under that is the list of things to complete with her partner.
Lux hands the next paper to the purple haired girl sitting next to Jinx.
The girl looks over the paper and lets out a sigh, the sheet of paper the same as the girl next her, but instead at the top of the paper the name 'Janna' is printed in bold.
Lux hands the last two papers out to the blue haired girl and the green haired girl. They are the same as the other two, but the blue haired girl has the name 'Poppy' printed across the top, and the green haired girl has the name 'Lulu' printed across the top.
"We will be leaving Friday. The busses leave at 8:30am, so make sure you're packed the day before and out there by 8:00am. Any questions?" Lux asks, only to be answered with silence.
"Okay then, you all are free to go back to the dorm room. I have some things to do before I go back so you all have a good rest of your day. Oh and Jinx, you better finish that essay about the different battle positions." a groan can be heard once more from Jinx as Lux finishes her rant.
The 4 girls leave the room and all walk towards their dorm, the wind picking up again, causing a small paper from Lulus bag to fly out unnoticed.
The paper lands in a small pond, a picture of stars and 5 girls standing together drawn on it, only to slowly dissolve into the water.
