One True Professor

The One True Professor Rises

Professor Dovey sat in her office, with stacks of paper and books scattered around waiting for her attention. In the past few days the work load had doubled, and on top of that, three students had to be transferred to the other school. Ever since they let readers fill in forms to come here, at least someone had to be moved, much like when Nicola came to this school from evil around four years ago.

Sometimes Dovey wished she could go back to her wish granting endeavours across the woods as she wouldn't have a deadline, or forms to fill, or to respond to worried parents in Woods Beyond. But she knew that as soon as she left, she would come back again, because no matter how many times she'd lie in bed with a pounding headache, this school was her home.

She carried on writing a letter to the housekeepers of Snow White's cottage for a tour for the new evers, they were trying to expand their curriculum by educating the students about famous Evers to learn from their mistakes and to learn from their good choices.

The letter was as follows:

To the housekeepers of Snow White's cottage,

I, Clarissa Dovey would like to request a tour for my students of Snow White's cottage as a part of their on going surviving fairy tales project, which is learning about famous Ever's lives. Please reply as soon as possible to me, and send it to the School For Good. If you can't get in touch with me, then that will be because of my and my staff's heavy workload.

Kind Regards,
Clarissa Dovey

She placed that in an envelope, happy with it and sealed it. Her personal fairy, named Tianna, grabbed it and zoomed out of her open window. Dovey sighs while looking around her office, there was still so much to do!

She decided to take a break just when a heavy shudder resounded through the school, and by the looks of it, the whole woods. All the trees shed their leaves and most of their branches and the screams of terrified students (and teachers) ensue, Dovey being part of that. It felt like her whole tower toppled onto it's side and everything crashed down.

Mean while, on the other side of school, Lady Lesso stormed through the halfway bridge (teachers can get through any time) and stomped up to her fellow deans office. Something terrible had happened and she needed to tell Clarissa.

Just when the shudder ripped through the woods, Lady Lesso was in the middle of a lesson. But that all went downhill. Ceiling became floor and floor became ceiling, she had never seen anything like that before. Alas, if something like that had never happened before, then something unthinkable must've been the cause. With strong suspicions, she sprinted up to the school masters tower and ran like she had never before up the stairs, leaving her helpless students behind. When she reached the door, she slammed into it and her suspicions were correct. Where the Storian should be writing, was a spread of one hundred playing cards, each with a white or black swan on it. Every single swan had an 'x' on it, which could only mean one thing, Tedros had burned his ring. Lesso had to restrain herself from walking right up to Camelot, bursting in and beating him up. Instead she decided to tell Clarissa, as she was the most level headed.

Lady Lesso was metres away from Clarissa's door, and rubble was blocking the way. And by rubble, I mean a lot of rubble, so much that it blocked the whole door.

"Clarissa! Are you okay?"

"Yes, are you?" she whispers in a daze.

"There's no time for that, something terrible has happened and I need to tell you, now."

"What could be worse than this? We'll have to rebuild the whole school with mostly no money!"

"Just let me get in, and then I'll say."

With a joint effort, Dovey pushing the door and Lesso clearing the rubble, Lady Lesso managed to get in. Instead of seeing Clarissa, standing normally, she saw Clarissa with a floating crown and a purple aura, more specifically a royal purple one.

"It can't be..." Lesso whispered

"What?"

"Look up."

Clarissa looked up, to see a golden crown above her head, and as soon as she does that, her clothes changed to ones of a Queen. She stands in shock as Lady Lesso says

"All hail the One True King, no Queen, no, Professor."

Everything seemed to bow down to Clarissa, while she stood flustered, with a messy top knot, and the worst headache she had ever gotten.
