A school full of wonders

Starlight Magic Academy!

"...Do you know the story of Alice in Wonderland? A human girl wandering into a realm of magic and bewilderment... bringing the denizens of that world out of their thousand-year war with her charm and smarts. Alice's return to her world left the denizens yearning for a being like her, and thus the opening of the Earth Gate came to be... but that wistful wish was only met with exile and the denizens' existence being known as myths, fantasies for the humans..."

The sun shone down the land, the light reflecting off stain glass windows of homes- a city in the center of a continent, nestled underneath a mountain. The roar of the morning dragon reverberated all around the great city, marking the beginning of a new day for Cristalo. The telltale sound of a train echoed throughout the land, chugging through the skies and bursting through clouds. Pink puffs of smoke flowed out from it, leaving a trail of it behind that slowly dissipated into the air.

Following no track, it curved and bended- going every which way it wanted but never jostling the passengers inside. The Sky Train, the single most popular and convenient way of traversing between land and sky. A Pegasus swooped by it, peering in through the windows before whinnying and galloping off to join the rest of its herd up ahead. Soon, the train was flying straight for the station, rooted to the ground. Slowly losing momentum. it came to a stop and the passengers were let out as a voice boomed out in the speakers. "Welcome to the capital city of the Lookingglass Province, the great city of Cristalo. Be sure to have all your belongings with you when you exit the train."

A girl stepped out with a click of her Mary Janes, pulling a suitcase behind her and a messenger bag across her shoulder. A moth-like bug followed behind her, the pages within its book wings fluttering with each flap. Tipping a bright pink hat that was reminiscent of a witch's hat toward the bright sunlight, effectively shadowing her face. The girl giggled to herself.

"We're finally going to see each other again... Ryn."

From across the city, surrounded by a forest and closest to the mountain range was a school. A private institution, or a boarding school if you will, for those who are naturally talented in magic. Starlight Magic Academy. This is where a boy was getting ready for the day ahead of him, the first day was always the day to make good first impressions. In the dim light of his dorm room, the boy went through his morning routine with a quick step. Fixing a stray lock of blue hair, his eyes glowed a dim yellow. The boy picked up his satchel and looked over to the being sleeping soundly on his bed.

It was completely black with the form of a lithe cat- aside from the red cross on its forehead and the diminutive bat wings on its back.

"Nyaoath, it's time to head out."

His call was answered by the twitching of ears and a lazy yawn from the odd cat. It stretched before shaking the sleepiness off, hopping off the bed and into the awaiting darkness of the boy's bag. Where it presumably went back to sleep. Making sure he had everything he would need for the day; the boy locked the door behind and went out the dormitory.
