Main Story (Prologue: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9) #main story #prologue

“How have you been since we last saw each other Alexis?” Professor Lazuli asked her. She had led her to a small corner of the school’s garden, where a table and chairs were set up. It looked like a tea party had been set up, complete with hot tea and snacks. The professor gestured for her to take a seat, which Alexis did.

The professor poured her a cup of tea before doing the same for herself. Alexis thanked her before taking a sip.

“It’s been well. Everyone’s been really nice to me,” she said. The professor smiled and gestured towards the sweets.

“That sounds wonderful. It’s always good to have friends,” she said, as Alexis reached out for a tea cake, but stopped herself. Alexis looked around the table.

“I’m sorry for asking, but shouldn’t we wait for everyone else?” she asked. The professor looked shocked for a moment before quietly laughing.

“Forgive me. I forgot to mention this. It’s a small habit of mine. I leave empty seats in case any of my friends show up,” she explained, gesturing to them.

“Oh. Are we waiting for the other professors?” Alexis asked.

“Oh no,” Professor Lazuli said with a smile. “These are for the friends I haven’t met yet.”

Alexis looked at her confused before the professor continued.

“You see, you never know when you’re going to meet someone who could be your friend, or even when someone needs a friend. So, I always keep seats open so that I can always be ready for them.”

Alexis was still confused by this, but decided to file it away for now.

“You said that the Headmistress you wanted to help me with special lessons, correct?” she asked, deciding to move on.

“That is correct,” Professor Lazuli said, nodding her head. She picked up a tea cake and put it on Alexis’s plate.

“A magic wand is a powerful tool. It is an item that has been left behind by a powerful mage. It carries a bit of their magic, and in a way, gained its will. It seeks out someone similar to its first master and gives them some magic or adds to their own. A truly complex magic item to be sure.”

Alexis looked down at her plate for a moment. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the magic wand. She watched as the sunlight bounced off the handle and the gemstone.

“Then, why did the wand choose me?” she asked. “How am I similar to the previous wielder?”

“That is a question I cannot answer,” Professor Lazuli said. “I did not know the previous owner nor do I know anything about this wand. But what I do know is that the wand sees something in you that you cannot see yourself. You just have to look hard enough, and I will help you.”

Alexis mulled over her words for a moment before looking back up at her.

“So, when do we start?” she asked. Professor Lazuli smiled.

“Right now,” she said. “You see, magic primarily comes from the imagination. As long as you can envision it, you can do it. For example…”

She raised her hand and her ring glowed. A sugar cube floated up and gently landed in her tea cup.

“That was a simple levitation spell. It will take sometime, but with effort, you can catch up to your classmates,” Professor Lazuli said, stirring her teacup.

“While your classmates are on their free periods, I would like you to come here. We will go over your course of action and we will see what path suits you best. How does that sound?” she asked. Alexis nodded her head in understanding.

“Excellent!” the professor said with a smile. “Now, why don’t you serve yourself some tea?”

Alexis started to reach for a creamer, but was stopped by Professor Lazuli’s hand.

“Not with your hands, but with your magic,” she said gently.

“But, you said-” Alexis started but Professor Lazuli held up a hand.

“I know, but it is better to start now than later. Now, try doing what I did,” she said, gesturing towards the sugar cube container. Alexis looked at it for a while before raising the wand. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine the cube floating through the air. She tried for a moment before opening her eyes.

“It didn't move,” Alexis said, a bit disappointed. Professor Lazuli reached out and patted her arm.

“It takes time. You’ll get there eventually. Now, shall we continue having our tea?” she said, holding up her tea cup. Alexis smiled and picked up hers. They both took a sip of their tea and ate their cakes.

“I should probably mention this, but don’t tell Lady Devlin we are serving tea with magic. She says that it goes against proper etiquette,” Professor Lazuli said with a smile and a wink. Alexis found herself laughing at that.

Later that day, Headmistress Prim’s Office

“Alessandra, are you there?” Ruri said, knocking on the door.

“Come in Ruri,” a voice came from inside. Ruri pushed open the door and she stepped in. Behind the great oak desk, Headmistress Alessandra Prim sat, looking over papers. She looked up at the teacher and gestured to one of the seats.

“How was she?” she asked. She tapped the paper in front of her. On the top of the page, it read ‘Alexis Lyndon’.

“She appears to be taking it all in stride. It was a good idea to put her in Confituremburg. Her roommates are helping her adjust and explaining everything to her.”

“Sereia Waterwhirl and Nova Glittergust, correct? That is a good thing. I’m glad that Ms. Dressler stepped up to take her in. She is the prime example of what a student of Pure Heart Academy should be.”

“I couldn't agree more,” Ruri said from her seat. “We had tea in the garden and I had her do a simple levitation spell.”

“Ruri, a levitation spell is not simple,” Alessandra said with a sigh. “It is much more complex and not easy for a first year to pull off, especially when one has not seen or used magic before.”

“I know, but I was curious,” Ruri said with a laugh. “And it's not like she couldn't do it.”

“What do you mean?” Alessandra asked.

“I mean it was subtle, but she was able to make a sugar cube float a small bit,” Ruri said, holding her fingers a small fraction from each other. “It seems she has more potential than we think she has.”

Alessandra looked thoughtful for a moment.

“Continue to help her. Monitor her progress and let me know what we can do to help her. That will be all.”

“Of course Headmistress," Ruri said, standing up and giving her a mock bow. Alessandra smiled at that and dismissed her. Ruri gave her a smirk and walked out, closing the oak doors behind her.

Happy Birthday Naomi Seagarden (July 1, Cancer)

"Thanks for the birthday party everyone. I'm grateful for your birthday well wishes."

"My parents sent me a new necklace. They said that it will help me with controlling my powers. I'll have to test it out later."

"Keanu also sent me a letter wishing me a happy birthday. It was really sweet of him to do that. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Sereia said she and Nerida wanted to go swimming. So we're making plans to go down to the beach later. Alena also said she had a surprise for me later, so I'm going to be back earlier than I would want to be. I love being in the ocean."

Happy Birthday Hugo Faranak (June 24, Cancer)

"My, what a surprise! Every year it brings a tear to my eye that my students remember my birthday."

"The rest of the staff gave me a wonderful book on weather patterns. I can't wait to read it later."

"Alena and Nova both gave me a charm that Ruri helped them make. They fascinated it into an earring. Isn't it wonderful?"

"Plans? Well, I suppose I'll go and watch the clouds later today. A good day for flying won't wait for you you know?"

Happy Birthday Amara Gossamer! (June 22, Gemini)

"Huh? Is it my birthday? No wonder Lettie was so excited for today."

"I don't need presents. Why are humans so obsessed with trinkets? I honestly don't get it. Although, Lettie did give me a new notebook that had a unicorn the front this morning."

"The lady also sent me a letter, wishing me a happy birthday. The other fae that she looks after also got in on it and sent me some berries and nuts from the forest. They're pretty tasty."

"Plans? Nothing really. Though I suppose I could go for a run in the forest. It's been a while since I've been in nature. It should do me some good."

Happy Birthday Ruri Lazuli! (June 21, Gemini)

"Oh my! What a wonderful surprise! Thank you for the birthday wishes."

"This time of year always catches me by surprise! Being a fairy, I sometimes forget my own birthday!"

"Presents? My students have given me some presents. Alena gave me a new tea to try, and Nova gave me some flowers she grew herself. How sweet of them."

"My plans? Well, I suppose I will invite the staff for a tea party later today. Hugo said the weather today should be great to drink outdoors, don't you think?"

Happy Birthday William Hemlock! (June 12, Gemini)

"Is it that time already? Well, whatever. Just another day on the calendar."

"Have I received any presents? No not really. Although, the headmistress did wish my a happy birthday. And Professor Lazuli did give me a gift card on behalf of all the staff. Do those count?"

"What am I going to do? Well, I suppose I will go into town and look at the antiques. Perhaps I will find what I am looking for. After that, I will go back to my room, make a cup of tea and read with Griffin on my lap. I couldn't ask for a better birthday than that really."

"Are we done? Now, stop pestering me and get to class! Or do you want detention?"

Happy Birthday Erin Belleville! (June 2, Gemini)

"Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. It means so much to me."

"My family sent me a lot of gifts. My mother sent me a new necklace, and my father a bracelet. My sisters, Charlotte and Trina, sent me a homemade birthday card. Trina's handwriting is getting better everyday."

"Anna's mother also sent me a birthday card. She asked me to make sure Anna is getting enough rest. Anna also gave me a present, a song that she wrote when we were kids celebrating our friendship. I look forward to it every year."

"Today, I'm going to relax. Maybe read a book and take a well deserved nap. Oh! I promised my family I would call them later. I should remind Anna to call her mother too."

Happy Birthday Anna Lisa Bryton! (June 2, Gemini)

"Birthday parties at PHA are the best! Thanks everyone!"

"My mom sent me a new book on gemstones! I can't wait to read it! Erin also gave me a new book to write sheet music."

"Even though they aren't my sisters, Charlotte and Trina sent me a birthday card! Look at the picture they sent me too! Aren't they adorable?"

"Todays just for me! I'm gonna sit back and relax! Though my manager did mention I should make a post so that my fans can wish me happy birthday too."

Alexis was exhausted. Their first classes had gone well, but having come from a place where there was no magic at all meant that she was behind on a lot of things. Luckily, they had some free time after their P.E. and Flying lessons and lunch.

“I was so hungry! I could have eaten a whole herd of sea horses!” Sereia said.

“Is that supposed to be like the human saying ‘to eat a whole horse’?” Nova asked.

“Yep! Sea horses are actually pretty small, so not really filling if you just eat one,” Sereia said with a smile.

“What do you typically eat in the ocean?” Alexis asked her. Sereia looked thoughtful.

“Lobsters, fish, oysters, the usual stuff that humans eat, though we can’t cook them.”

“Wait. You eat them raw?!” Nova looked at her shocked.

“Yeah. We don’t have access to fire underwater and using underwater volcanoes is highly advised against.”

“That makes sense,” Alexis said. “I once read that volcanoes produce toxic gases and hydrothermal vents release superheated, mineral rich water that takes years to settle on the ocean floor.”

The other two girls looked at her amazed.

“You remember all that?!” Sereia asked her.

“Y-yes!? I can remember any book I’ve read,” Alexis said with a small jump.

“That’s incredible,” Nova said.

Alexis took this time to look at all the other girls in the room. They all had the same uniform and vests, but their ties and skirts were different colors. Nova noticed this and started pointing out the different dorms.

“If I remember correctly, our dorm color is light pink,” she said, pointing at her own tie.

“Founded on the Sugar Plum Princess’s Kindness!” Sereia said with a wide smile.

“That’s right,” Nova said, nodding her head. “Elfbeinturm is purple. See those two over there?”

Alexis followed her finger where she saw one girl who had long, braided blonde hair, while the other had purple hair with a pink streak.

“Elfbeinturm is the dorm founded on the Golden Haired Princess’s Creativity. Everyone in that dorm is really creative and resourceful. I’ve heard that the current dorm head’s talent rivals that of the Princess.”

“Incredible,” Alexis and Sereia said together. Nova nodded and pointed out the next dorm.

“That’s Schwanen Schloss over there. Their dorm color is blue and the dorm was founded on the Love of the Swan Maiden. People in that dorm are said to have hearts bigger than themselves.”

Alexis looked over to see that there were two more girls, one with pale blonde hair and the other with silver white hair. Nova moved onto the next dorm.

“Over there is Échange Palace. Their dorm colors are pink and blue and were founded on the Friendship of the Princess and the Pauper. Everyone in that dorm is super friendly.”

“Wow! Are they twins?” Sereia asked. Alexis looked over to see two girls who looked strikingly like each other. One had brown hair and the other had blonde hair with pink ends.

“No. That’s the current dorm head and vice dorm head. I’ve heard that they’re childhood friends. One is a princess and the other one is a famous pop star."

“So cool!” Sereia said. Alexis looked at them both in shock and amazement as Nova continued.

“That’s Rainbopia. Their color is dark pink and they were founded on the Courage of the Fairy Chosen by the Rainbow. It’s the most recent dorm that was made in the last hundred years or so.”

“Why’s that?” Alexis asked as they observed the dorm members. One of the girls had blonde hair that was pulled into two buns while another had blue hair that was kept in a loose braid.

“Because there wasn’t really any interest in fairies or mermaids going to human schools, but that’s changed recently. Professor Lazuli has been one of the main forces behind it. She said it was to help heal the rift between humans, mermaids, and fairies.”

“It’s true! No one from the Coral Sea really goes on land, but Prince Rielle went to Royal Sword against his father, the King's wishes! That’s what inspired me to go here!” Sereia said. Alexis nodded her head as Nova continued.

“Pegasi Chateau is next. Their dorm color is light purple or lilac. It was founded on the Determination of the Princess of the Wand of Light. Everyone in that dorm is competitive.”

Alexis followed her gaze to a nearby table where there was a group of girls, who were all wearing light purple ties and skirts. Nova moved onto the next dorm.

“The final dorm is Goldpavilion. It was founded on the Individuality of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and their color is golden yellow. Everyone in that dorm are considered all rounders because of their individual talents.”

Alexis saw a girl with dark curly hair sitting by herself, reading a book. There were four others at a nearby table who had on yellow ties and skirts.

“Hopefully I can keep them all sorted,” Sereia said. “It’s a lot of information.”

“It’s easy once you get the hang of it,” a voice said. The girls jumped and turned around to see Professor Ruri Lazuli standing behind them.

“How are you girls on this fine day?” she asked. Alexis nodded her head while Nova jumped up in excitement.

“I’m having so much fun! Everyone is so nice and helpful! I’m so glad I came here!” she said. Professor Lazuli nodded her head.

“That’s good. Forgive me for interrupting you girls, but I came for Ms. Lyndon,” she said, smiling at Alexis.

“F-for me?” she stammered. The professor nodded her head.

“Headmistress Prim asked me to prepare special lessons for you Ms. Lyndon.”

The trio looked at her shocked.

“Special lesions? What does that mean?” Sereia asked.

“I’m afraid that’s a secret for now. Ms. Lyndon, if you would follow me please,” the professor said before turning around and walking away. Alexis looked between her and the girls before following her.

“I-I’ll see you both later!” she called back as she ran to catch up. Sereia and Nova watched her disappear down the hallway.

“What do you think that was about?” Sereia asked.

“I’m not sure,” Nova asked. The two looked at each other before deciding it was time to go to their next class.

Happy Birthday Brittany Oaks! (May 20, Taurus)

"Thank you everyone! I'm really excited to celebrate my birthday again this year at PHA!"

"My mom and sister sent me a birthday card! It looks like Emma drew me a picture too! She wrote that I should thank her for getting me into PHA. After all, she did put my name in the raffle."

"Mom sent some baked goods! It smelled so good, and reminded me of home. I want to try and replicate her recipe in the kitchens some time."

"Well, I was going to be working a shift at Cafe Rosa, but my boss said I didn't have to come in because it was my birthday. So, I'm going to catch up on some studying, especially my tea etiquette. It's still not right."

Happy Birthday Alessandra Prim! (May 7, Taurus)

"Such a welcome surprise. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes."

"My plans for today? I suppose I shall go into town and go to a local cafe that several student and staff have recommended."

"Some students have already wished me a happy birthday. They even gave me flowers and cupcakes. I shall enjoy that when I go to the cafe later today."

"The staff prepared a small party for me in the staff room. Their well wishes are always pleasant to have."

"Is there anything else? Well, I suppose I will be playing my violin at the local dance hall. I find it very relaxing and people always love it. Then I shall return to my office to finish some paperwork."

Happy Birthday Alena Roselake! (May 5, Taurus)

"Thank you everyone! Celebrating my birthday like this makes me so happy!"

"I was thinking about going on a nature walk. Since it's getting warmer out, I could use the fresh air."

"My parents sent me a birthday card, wishing me a happy birthday. I think Professor Lazuli reminded them, since we faefolk live for a long time, and celebrating birthdays are rare among our kind."

"Professor Lazuli gave some beautiful flowers from her garden, and an invitation to join her for tea later. Her tea parties are always a delight to join."

The three ran to their first class, which was Practical Magic with Professor Hemlock. He looked scrawny and unshaven. His hair was slicked back and pulled into a tight low ponytail. He wore a dark green suit that looked like it had seen better days. An equally scrawny brown cat followed him in and jumped onto the desk.

“Welcome everyone to Practical Magic,” he said, walking into the class and slamming his books on the desk before roughly writing his name and the class on the board. “I am William Hemlock, your professor and the one who will be guiding you through the process of learning how to apply your magic to everyday life. Now, if you look at the syllabus…”

Alexis listened intently, since she was going to be learning magic from now on. She felt the magic wand in her pocket, and hoped she wouldn’t mess up anything. After the class concluded, they made their way to their next class, which was Etiquette with Duchess Darlene Devlin.

“Why is a duchess teaching at an all girl’s school?” Alexis wondered aloud.

“I heard it’s because she and her husband, the duke, have been in an argument for a very long time and are living separately,” Nova said in a low voice. “She gets an allowance, but it isn’t enough to cover her extravagant lifestyle, so she took up a job here.”

Alexis and Sereia nodded along as they entered the classroom. It wasn’t in a traditional classroom like their other classes were, as this one was in a large hall, with large windows allowing for ample light to come in. On one side, there were tables with white clothes set up, and the other half was empty.

“So, what do we do?” Sereia asked. Everyone else was standing around, wondering the same thing. It was some time before the doors to the room flew open and a woman wearing a green dress walked in, her heels audibly clicking against the floor. Alexis recognized her from the opening ceremony. She walked up to the front of the room and turned towards the gathered crowd, her eyes in a harsh glare.

“Welcome everyone, to your first Etiquette lesson. I am Duchess Darlene Devlin, and I am in charge of this classroom. You are to refer to me as Madame Duchess Devlin. You will learn the basics and as you progress, we shall determine if you can attend the end of year dance.”

“There’s a dance at the end of the year?” someone asked. The duchess’s head snapped towards the source and addressed them.

“You! Minus 5 points! You do not interrupt me in my classroom!” she snapped. Everyone jumped to attention and immediately closed their mouths.

‘This is going to be a fun class,’ Alexis thought as she drilled them on their objectives for the year. Before long, they were excused to the next class, which was Potions 101 with Professor Whitedale.

They all sat around individual tables with small cauldrons in the middle of them. Lab coats, goggles, and protective gear were hung up in closets with clear doors. At the head of the room, there was a table for the instructor. Everyone took their seats and waited for the teacher to arrive.

When she did, Alexis was taken with her. She had green hair that was pulled up and wore a purple dress under her lab coat. She turned towards the class and addressed them.

“Listen well, all of you! Potion making is no joke! You will be dealing with potentially dangerous items, as well as fire and other elements. You are to handle them with the utmost care and precision! Now, look at your syllabuses…”

Alexis flipped the syllabus open and followed along with the teacher. They went over the potions they had to learn and how some of what they were to be learning would be used in future Alchemy classes.

“Alchemy sounds interesting,” Alexis said as they exited the classroom.

“You think so?” Sereia asked, as they made their way into the changing rooms. They made their way to the next class, which was P.E. and Flying with Hugo Faranak. He was a handsome young man with light green hair and purple eyes. He gave everyone a kind smile and called for their attention.

“Welcome everyone to your first P.E. and Flying lesson. I am your instructor, Hugo Faranak. We will spend the first part of class conditioning your bodies and then the second half will be focusing on flight. Everyone understands?”

Everyone voiced their understanding. The teacher nodded and led them out to the middle of the field.

“Now, let’s begin with some light exercises!” he said as he started the lesson. Alexis was worried at first, because was not very athletic back home, no matter how many times her grandmother tried to get her to come on walks with her or go hiking with her family. She felt bad about it now, looking back on it.

After their exercises, he led them over to some racks where they were some brooms. Alexis could hardly believe that she was holding a real flying broom! She was excited to try and fly. Nova looked confident while Sereia seemed nervous.

“Sereia, are you okay?” Alexis asked her. The mermaid sighed and shook her head.

“Unfortunately no. I’ve lived in the ocean my whole life! Flying in the sky? I’m scared I might accidentally fall off by mistake.”

“Oh it’s no big deal,” Nova said. “Flying is easy for me.”

“That’s because you’re a fairy!” Sereia argued back at her. Fortunately, Professor Faranak came over and calmed everyone down before instructing everyone on how to use their brooms. It took Alexis and Sereia some time, but Nova seemed to get the hang of it easily, as she flew straight up into the sky.

After P.E. and Flying was lunch, and it was delicious! There was all sorts of foods that Alexis was familiar with, but others that she had never tried before. She remembered her grandfather's words about exploring the world, and decided to try something new.

When they all got their food, they sat down at the table and chatted about the day so far and their next classes. That was when Claire approached their table and sat down with them.

“Hello everyone. How is your day so far?” she asked them.

“It’s great! All of our classes so far have been incredible!” Nova said. “I think Flying with Professor Faranak is going to be my favorite!”

“Well, wait until the swimming module,” Sereia said. “I’m going to be the fastest one there.”

“It sounds like you're all adjusting well,” Claire said, and turned towards Alexis. “And how are you finding everything?”

Alexis looked down at her plate and thought for a moment.

“I, I think it’s going well. I can’t pinpoint a favorite class yet, but I’m sure I will find it soon.”

“That’s good. I look forward to seeing you all at the dorm later today,” Claire said, before picking up her tray and walking away. The girls watched her for a moment before finishing their food and heading to their next classes.

Happy Birthday Aria Fjord! (April 21, Taurus)

"Thank you for the party everyone! I love that this is a tradition at PHA!"

"My parents sent me a letter wishing me a happy birthday, along with a reminder to look after myself and not push myself too hard. They worry too much."

"My older sister sent me a letter too along with some new skates. She told me that our aunt is looking forward to me coming to visit her over winter break! I can't to see the aurora again this year!"

"I'm going to be skating all day today! And taking Elpida out too. She gets restless getting in the stables all the time. Oh, and I have to make sure Snowball gets out too! Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble she'll get into!"
