Chapter 1- Welcome to The White Wing Academy
Tales in books have introduced us to three familiar places. Hell, where eternal suffer follows a soul drowned in sin. And we were taught of heaven, where all there is nothing bad. In the two worlds exist angels and devils, along with their schools. One school, in the skies, teaches their students how to become real angels, how to fight for good and protect the Human world.
The Wing Academy is welcoming new angel students every year, and on their third year they are finally choosing a human to protect as their last exam. Over the third year, the angels are protecting a human they are assigned, in order to pass their final exam, and finally become real guardians of the Human world.
On the other side, there is Black Wing Academy, a school for devils. Just like with White Wing Academy students, these students also have a human assigned to them, but unlike the angels, devils cannot be seen by humans and they cannot have a direct contact with their human. Their exam contains making a human commit a sin that will certainly banish them to hell, and therefore making the world worth one less angel, which is a good case for them.
There are several rules to follow in the meantime. For angels it goes like this. First, the job of an angel is immediately done if their human curses them, that is an automatic fail of exam. Second, an angel must not have a love relationship with a human. There is a penalty for such. Third rule, the human's safety is main priority. If threatening a human's safety happens three times, the angel fails. And fourth rule, if an angel turns against their assigned human and works against him, that is considered crime and will be judged by the heavens. When an angel successfully finishes the exam, beside becoming a guardian of Human world, he can also ask the Emerald Crystal for a wish.
Now since everything was explained, let's see how our main heroes are handling their start of their senior year in the White Wing Academy.
" If you're gonna pretend you're sleeping, at least fix your fake snoring " said a female voice.
It belonged to a girl that looked to be around twenty years old. She had black hair that fell to her mid back, and lime green eyes. The direction where her eyes led was to a bed where her twin brother slept, or at least he faked. The boy could not be seen, since the blankets covered him from head to toes, it was only his hand that was uncovered and was hanging from the bed.
The girl held her arms crossed over her chest and starred at the figure that was forbidding to move. The girl wore a pair of brown shorts that went above her knees and a nice shining belt around it as an accessory. On the top she wore a white blouse with small red polka dots on it, and as for her outfit, it was a pair of black sandals. She looked back at the wall clock in the room and sighed annoyed. She walked towards the boy and grabbed the covers, pulling them off.
The boy looked surprised and started pulling the covers back, but failed since the girl refused to let go.
" Instead of fighting for the blanket, get your ass up and start getting ready! " the girl shouted.
" Here's another idea, you give me the blanket and I go back to sleep! " he shouted back.
" I'm gonna be late because of you Butch! "
" I never asked to be woken up in the first place. So there is no damn way you can blame me for being late "
The two continued to fight for the blanket, until the girl sighed and let go, causing the boy named Butch to slightly lose balance, thankfully he was on the bed all the time, and now he got his blanket.
" Well I'm sorry for thinking of your damn future as an angel and a possible future guardian. Headmistress Bellum will surely hold her speech about it today and we can't afford to be late. " said the girl, calming down a little. She sat on Butch's bed, and took a bottle of water from the night table, taking a drink. Butch sat beside her and moved away the blanket he viciously fought for.
" What's the point of arriving on time anyway? For the past two years I've learned her every single line. She just keeps repeating them to every generation, there's nothing to be late to " said Butch in a bored tone.
" Yeah but now we're seniors and she's gonna have to say something new. Besides, we're going to be assigned a human to protect. They told us about final exam since we entered the Academy as freshmen. " said the girl.
" Come on, don't tell me you're excited about that Buttercup " said Butch while smirking at his twin. Buttercup chuckled and ruffled Butch's hair a little.
" Let's just say that I'm glad that we're gonna spend this year finally doing some real angel work and not just learning theories " she explained. She got up from the bed and stretched her arms a bit. She got out of the room and left the boy Butch by himself. He slammed his back on the bed and continued groaning about the first day of going back to academy. He stared at the ceiling for a short period.
" Real angel work huh. Isn't she concerned about what possible human they might assign? " he commented to himself. Saying that he decided it was time for him to get up and get ready. He was sure that his sister wouldn't be waiting for him that long.
In another household there was another excited angel waiting for her senior year to officially begin. She gently brushed her long red hair and started styling it, but was not so sure what to make of it. She was certain that her makeup was on point, and matched the outfit along, but the hairstyling wasn't going her way. For her clothes she wore a nice white dress with short sleeves, and it reached to her knees. Around her waist she tied a red ribbon and leaned it on her right hip. She also wore a pair of pink sandals that matched her pink purse. But she was definitely uncertain about her hair. Currently she held it in a high pony tail and just stared in the mirror, not sure whether to tie the ribbon or not. She stared until her phone distracted her. She took the phone with her right hand and the left managed to hold the hair in the pony tail. Her mouth was a little busy holding a pair of three hairpins between her lips.
" Hewwou? " she answered, trying to keep her hairpins in place too.
" If you're done styling your hair, we should finally get going you know " another voice said.
" I cwan't, mwy haiw iw wot- "
" - Please remove the hairpins from your lips Blossom, and talk to me so I can understand you properly " the caller cut the red haired girl off. Blossom has freed her left arm from the pony tail and used it to place the hairpins on top of the dresser.
" There. Are you happy now? " she asked annoyed.
" Delighted. Geez you're taking this Back to Academy day really serious, aren't you? " the voice asked teasingly.
" Well I think that the first impressions matter the most, and I'm doing my best " said Blossom
" Don't you think I know that? We're friends since we were wingless kids. Now hurry up, I'm in the plaza with Butch "
" Okay, okay, I'll be there in ten minutes " she said and hung up.
One last time she looked at herself in the mirror and gave up styling her hair, it was just not cooperating. She brushed it one last time and flew away where her white feather wings took her.
The Academy was higher in the skies, it had the looks of a castle that balanced itself on the cloud. The cloud is actually more special then for just holding the building, it's also a shield for possible threats. The source of that shield is the Blue Crystal that is the core of the Academy. The Emerald Crystal holds the power of granting wishes and finally giving angels their halos. The rule is, only guardian angels have halo's, the rest of them have just their wings. Once an angel becomes a guardian, his ability to protect and interfere with human world becomes more effective and expands. But with big power comes big responsibility, so the status of a guardian can only belong to those who pass the exam, using all their previous knowledge gained in the Academy.
There is a stairway leading from the dormitory to the Academy. The Blue Crystal also protects that part as well. Basically it protects the Academy and the dorms that are a little beneath the Academy. The dorms aren't held by a cloud but by a peace of ground, allowing the students to have plaza, parks, shopping centers, restaurants and such. Of course because of the height such couldn't be seen, and the protection barrier giving the invisibility to human eye.
More beneath the dorms is another peace of land that contains the rest of angel citizens. White Wing land, where angels live their regular lives. So what we basically have is a little sky world in floors. First floor is White Wing land containing the citizens. They are sadly not protected by the Blue Crystal, but a Blue Feather held in a mansion of Robinson family. The Feather unfortunately isn't as powerful as Crystal since it cannot give counterattacks, but instead it does hold the invisibility all the time and provides a shield when activated. Second floor is the dorms, where the students are. And then the third floor goes for the academy.
Lots of students were already gathering at the Academy, waiting for the Headmistress and her announcements. And so we found our main characters as well, squeezing themselves between the groups of students and fighting to go in front. Butch was going first so he can make path for two girls. Although he tried his best, the two girls still had to hold each other's hands so they wouldn't get lost in the crowd. It wasn't just seniors among them, there were also freshmen and juniors.
" This stairway needs to be expanded! " commented Blossom while holding Buttercup's hand and following Butch's path, trying her best not to lose sight of him.
" It feels like there are more students each year " commented Buttercup as well.
" If anything, we should be glad that it's like this for just the first day. Tomorrow half of these people wouldn't be seen " said Blossom.
The two girls finally managed to catch up to Butch and finally got inside the building. Now it was fighting to get to the amphitheater. Luckily that place made the crowd look smaller since it had the size of a stadium. The acoustics were just fine so there was no reason to worry whether they would hear the professors or not. The three took their seats and waited for the headmistress Bellum to arrive.
" Well we made it in one peace after all " commented Butch with a little laughter.
" Barely " added Buttercup
" Do we know when to expect the schedules to arrive? " asked Blossom
" I'm not sure, they usually arrive at day time. But since we're seniors now, maybe they need to match our classes to the examination " explained Buttercup
" That might be a little difficult. But if that's the case, then we shouldn't be expecting the schedules at our usual time. "
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. They don't pick up their schedules, their schedules arrive to them in an envelope in their dormitory. But they do need to hold their windows open until then.
The students finally seemed settled when a red haired woman entered, wearing a long white dress with long sleeves. The woman had around ten professors behind her, everyone dressed in similar white clothing's. The woman, known as headmistress Bellum, looked at the seats filled with students, with a proud smile on her face. Two professors were busy with a device that looked like one big computer. In fact, it was a big screen and holographic keyboard.
" Anyone has any idea what's that thing? " asked Buttercup
" Beats me, but looks good for watching shows " added Butch
" Looks like we're not the only ones paying attention to it " said Blossom looking at reactions of other students who commented it.
The students commented about the device among themselves, Mrs. Bellum looked entertained by their reactions. She knew that the device took their attention, and she didn't mind, since she knew that that's what's determining their future. She moved forwards and cleared her throat. She smiled at her students and raised her arms, as if trying to embrace all of them at once.
" Seniors of White Wing Academy, welcome to my last boring speech! " the crowd of students laughed at her joke, along with Mrs. Bellum and the professors as well. There weren't many seniors, it was correctly assumed that the crowd in front of Academy were freshmen, seniors and juniors at the same time. The atmosphere seemed to be easier when Mrs. Bellum made that joke. As the laughter stopped, Mrs. Bellum continued her speech.
