House Cheshire. The crest has the Cheshire smile that appeared at a certain angle. The scary thing about the crest it that the eyes of the cat follows you and the little cats around them disappeared and reappear. House Aspen, the kitsune also walks around the crest with its tail changing the numbers. House Valiant, the serpentine roars whenever someone looks at them and lastly, House Sova, the gryphon just stare someone down fluttering its wings.

"Jisoo, this is your chance to prove yourself to your father that you deserve to be the heir. You know Tae is sick right," her mother pulled her away from her father and twin. "I don't want my relationship with Tae will go astray." Her mother sighed. "He would understand. He's sick, there's nothing he can do. You are helping him big time, other than helping our empire." Jisoo averted her eyes looking at Taehyung happily talking with their father. Her mother handed her the reticule before she struts her way towards her father.

"It saddens me that you two won't be around as much as I want you to be. I hope you two will enjoy this experience, maybe learn a thing or two from other kingdoms, expanding your horizons. This is a great adventure and learning experience for you guys. Stay safe," their father hugged them tightly before planting a kiss both on their forehead. "If people saw you, they won't say that you are their king." Their mother struts their way towards them.

"Well, that's why I'm the King, not them." He looked briefly at his wife before returning towards his children. "Write to me," He mouthed before the two of them stepped into the mirrors. Jisoo looked at how her mother glared at Taehyung when he happily runs towards the mirror. She looked at her clothing and it has turn blue, she looked towards her right, looking for Taehyung but he wasn't there.

"Taehyung?" She softly called out. "Welcome Jisoo Celeste de Lucian and Jungkook Adrian Roux." She looks to the left side, a male she didn't recognise. She struts her way forward towards the centre where she was met with the Dame she saw before. "Marcella Sova." The female smiled at the students around her. "Oh welcome Princess of Prometheus," the dame slightly bowed at her with a chuckled. The students started whispering with one another looking at her. "Now after the pleasantries, walk towards the mirror and you'll be teleported back to the Great Hall."

She glared and keeping a serious face as she passed by the students into the mirror first. She walked towards the familiar backside of someone she knew. He turns around with a smile just as she came closer. "You are in Sova!" He hugged her. "It suits you," She looked towards his clothes and noticed the red surrounding him. "Valiant?" She questioned but was cut off when a female who came from behind Taehyung approaching someone behind her. "Jungkook! You're in Sova?" Jisoo looked back to see the face.

"Ah, the knight from Fleur." She briefly acknowledged. "Your fiancée in the same house as yours too?" Taehyung shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you thinking that I don't fit in Valiant?" The princess looked at her, her arms crossed. "I barely know and care about you Rosélia," She glared back, mimicking her action. Rosélia scoffed as she pulled Taehyung towards the tables adorned with Valiant's colour. "I guess it's you and me now your highness," Jungkook pointed towards their tables.

Jisoo scoffed as she watches both of them walk away with Taehyung muttering a 'see you later', "shall we go together since we don't exactly know anyone else?" Jungkook peeked his head looking at Jisoo. Jisoo walked ahead as she muttered, "do whatever you want." They both walked towards their table and she caught someone she knew. "Ah, the princess herself." The female smiled while the male next to her cocked his eyebrows looking at them.

"Wendy Aster. Fancy seeing you here." Jisoo sat at the opposite table of her as Jungkook took a seat next to her. "Jungkook Adrian Roux from Fleur." He said towards them. "Namjoon Marquis from Nyx." He nodded, "You just heard my name, Wendy Aster from Prometheus same as the one and only princess of Prometheus, Jisoo Celeste de Lucian here since I don't think she'll give you her name." Namjoon nodded, "Well, nice to meet you." Jisoo smirked, "You're not a mage?  I assumed." She paused. "I wonder just how are you going to handle mage lessons."

"Ah yeah, we're starting with discrimination. Best believe that's Jisoo's best traits." Wendy looked straight into her eyes, staring her down. "May I have all your attention please." One man stepped up at the lectern. "Hello students from all around the neighbouring empires, welcome to Nyx Academy. I am Jack Bastien, Nyx Capital's representative and your headmaster. This has been decided by the members of the councils. Well, it is an honour to have sons, daughters, a relative of the empire's families and a great honour to welcome every one of you to enrol in Nyx Academy. Here, we will not discriminate and we will treat everyone equally, mages or non-mages. We will pay attention and hear the voices of everyone."

"At Nyx, everyone is equal." Jisoo scoffed as she heard that, rolling her eyes. "The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal. Non-mages will continue to feel left out in the world where they are surrounded by mages and even the subject being learned would be easier for mages. Everything is a mistake. Even this school." The three of them looked at Jisoo but none of them agrees or disagrees anything she said. They just sat in silence, letting the words hang and circles in the mind.
