The Academy

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

I was falling down to God knows where. Everything was blurry. I was traveling very fast. Then I fell on the ground with a loud thud. Ouch! It hurts so much. There was blood everywhere. I couldn't move a muscle. It felt like I my body didn't exist. The only feeling I recognized was pain. The agony was too much; I fainted.

(When Estella woke up)

Everything was bright and white. A few people (I think around three), were standing over me. One was speaking,

"Hey girl! open your eyes. I know you are broken.... I mean hurt but just give us a sign you are alive. Just blink one time, it had be enough"

Then there was a second voice

"Look Vita, she is opening her eyes."

"Just blink once PLEAAAASE just once. "

I blinked several times. Then the group sighed in relief. The one called Vita was laughing.

They were then starting to say something, when I fainted again.

I woke up again. I didn't know where I was. My throat was parched so much that I couldn't speak. Then when I started to get up, a lady rushed forward and pushed me back in the bed. She said, " Hey don't you get up. Now lay down back there. Just rest."

She made me drink water.

After a few minutes, I launched into a flurry of questions like....

Where am I? Who are you? Why am I here? Did you bring me here through that wormhole?....etc. etc.etc.

I was really confused.

"Hey kiddo calm down. I will give all the answers. First of all, I am Vita. Now here -

You are in Salzbaro: the land of mysteries"

"What did you say? Sa... Sa.... Salzbaro? That was what was written on that medallion."

"You don't know about the medallion's functions. So how did you get here? The medallion is used by humans to enter here and once they enter they cannot leave."

I couldn't understand anything about it so I told her the story about how I got this medallion.

"Hey kiddo. See here, I don't know why the boy handed you this medallion but remember this land is dangerous if you don't know about it. If you travel alone and explore you are bound to meet both friendly and unfriendly creatures. So it's better if you stay here. I will talk to the Headmaster about your enrollment. The Aurora Academy is the safest place in Salzbaro and you will also be able to learn about this land."

Then after two weeks, I was discharged. An old man came that day. Vita told me he was the Headmaster. He looked elegant and was an approachable while strict with the rules.

"Good morning, young lady. I am Sensei Chong or you can call me Headmaster Chong."

He handed me three notes.

"This is the currency here. It is called Ongko. The coins you see in my palm are the smaller currency Onggo. Now I take you to your dorm, from there Sterling will give you a tour of Aurora."

He took me to an elevator. I noticed that there was no cable connecting it. When I mentioned that he said it was magic. I didn't reply, I was sceptical. How could something float in air like that and it was proved that magic didn't exist, they were all tricks of the magicians.

But when we reached the premises, I saw that Sensei was not lying.

THE ACADEMY WAS BUILT IN THE AIR.

I was shocked. I wondered what awaited me at the *AURORA ACADEMY*.
