Walking into college is much easier when your past isn't kissing you goodbye. All your life has come up to this. Elementary prepares you for middle school. Middle school teaches you something close to the misery of high school. High school is the last acceptable happiness you will ever have. High school was the preview of college. If you eat all your popcorn in the preview, being in the movies won't reach up to the standards. If your popcorn fell, you're done. If you didn't buy the popcorn, you'll be stealing it from your friend. After all, this is FIU. Most of the people here left their lives back wherever their home was. But, the real question is did they leave themselves?

It was just a bet... and it was what all it takes for Champaign to be thrown into trouble with more ways than one. "My stage will be the runway ramp and strutting on it will be my job. Geez!

In the land of Astrayix, magic determines status. The family with the strongest magic holds the title of royalty. Their magic is so strong, that only during the Crowning Trials can their full potential be unlocked. Maya Xinia, next in line to the throne was excited to finally come of age for her Trial. Key term: was. The problem? She's a spoiled rotten brat with little magic who is unfit to rule as she is. So what happens when you send a stuck-up princess to Earth to work her way through college without any magic to protect her from the forces of the man who is trying to bring back to life a creature long believed destroyed? Better yet, what happens when she has more magic than she's let everyone believe? I really suck at descriptions, but give it a try! The story and characters are mine. The creatures are creatures that I've found through online research. I did not create them, such as snotlings. (They were too funny to leave out, lol; Blame the gamer in me.) Please don't steal my story. It's pretty cliche to begin with, I'm sure you could come up with better! Also, cover is a picture of the green tunnel that I found online. Not my picture. Also, if you see errors and such, feel free to point them out. It's a first draft NaNo story, so it will definitely need editing later. Right now I just want to get it done :D

WARNING: This has been written by a much younger self in about a month for Camp Nanowrimo, so it is still full of grammar errors and awkward sentences. I haven't gotten around to actually editing it and i probably never will... so ignore the "reviewed and edited" chapters, because they do not really exist. They all have mistakes, so there is really no need for you to warn me about them. I hope you enjoy the story anyway.

I will update once or twice a week, after I have verified the wordcount over on NANOWRIMO's site. This is a very, very rough first draft, and I am totally open to any and all constructive criticism! Thank you so much for reading my story, I appreciate each and every read. I should also note that this story will deal with some very dark content and themes and contain mature language, although I try to keep these aspects implicit rather than explicit. For safety's sake, I would say this book is suitable for those 15 years of age or older. Also, I was unable to verify where the image for my cover came from. If it belongs to you or someone you know, please send me a message so I can add credit to you or make a new cover.
