Chapter 3

When we arrived at the academy, my jaw dropped to the floor. It was a grand building, black on one side, white on the other. In the middle was a symbol of a moon and a sun. In the very middle was a weird circle divided into three slots. From here he could barely make out a skeleton with skin on one side, absolute black, and a man in a fighting pose. “These are our elements, and the same elements as the realm lords.” He thought to himself. The kid that got Iron dragon came up to me and said “ha ha ha, you are so unlucky, your element is cursed. It is the same with your friends. In the academy prophecy it mentions the owners of your element dying, ha ha ha.” He walked away and Ruby, Ben and Harry came up to me, “Hurry up Peter,” Harry said,”We are falling behind.” “I can’t believe how lucky we are!” Ruby squealed as we walked up the steps to the massive wooden doors. My brother opened them and announced,”Welcome to Riol!” He shouted as a huge group of people filled the entrance. “Here you will have battle, maths, English and element classes!”The people around started talking to us. I heard snippets like “I heard you...rarest elements... maybe those 4 will... I feel sorry for them...I hope they like...Yeah, it was... last year...didn’t survive.” We moved down the huge hallway and found a black hole covering the floor. A boy stepped on it and started falling. “Charlie, no teasing the newbies.” My brother said as a young boy hopped off a roof beam. The boy sighed and snapped his finger and the falling child grew in size and started retching. “Sam, does that mean I have to disarm the 22 flaming crossbows, close the invisible trapdoor and let the bisons run loose outside instead of in the hallway?” “Don’t worry kids, he’s just joking...I think. This is Charlie, he is a level-1 master of the illusions element.” A kid among pushed forwards, squealing with delight. It was a young girl and she said as she shook all over: “I have the illusion element to!” “That’s great, you will be enjoying element lessons with me on the 9th day of the week.” Today was the 7th day. Sam lead us further down the hallway as Charlie waved us goodbye. We reached a door called dorms and Sam pushed it open. On the left were numbers 1-9 and on the right were numbers 10-20. My brother pushed open the 20 door and inside was more doors. “This place is like a maze.” Harry whispered to me. Each of these doors were labeled 20.1-20.9. “These will be your rooms.” Sam explained to us as he pushed open door number 20.1. “Your year level has 41 people in it, and each room has 6 beds, so there will be 2 rooms spare. You may choose whoever you want to be in your room, even if they are of the opposite gender.” I felt a hand on my back and I was being pulled away. I abruptly stopped and I saw Ben’s face looming over mine and Harry’s. “We stick together.” Ben said and he let us go. My brother started speaking again, “If you don’t have enough people in your cabin then I will pick some for you.” The class split up into groups of 6, leaving me, Ben and Harry on 1 side and Rose, the girl who got the Rank 3 plant and another girl who I think got Rank 2 technology. This techno girl was playing a computer device. “Well, It seems we have our groups!” My brother said, “Now choose your rooms and get unpacked.” The rest of us looked at him in confusion. “Oh, that’s right, I forgot to tell you that anything you want from home will instantly appear on your bed. Now get moving, go, go, Go!!!” We all rushed to a random room with our groups. My group found ourselves in room 20.5. “And remember, dinner is in 1 hour!” He shouted as we all heard a door slam. “Well,” Rose said, “let’s get unpacked!”
