It was a dawn of a new age of wizardkind, ten years after the Muggle-Minbari war. In a desperate hope for peace, the muggles have built a spinning space station on the outskirts of the Nova system. The year is 2257. The place It Babylon 5.

The shuttle was going to land any minute. It was her first flight, and hopefully one of her last. The Hyperspace was terrifying, but as they pulled out of the Hyperloop and into space again, all was fine. The gentle rocking of the ship swaying from side to side, coming into the spaceport. There was the high pitched screech of metal, and suddenly all was quiet.

"Babylon 5, please disembark from your vessel and proceed through security"

The soft voice of the intercom repeated over and over on the ship. Grasping her card tightly, she descended into the cargo bay to retrieve her luggage, a crate with a snake-like dog in it, and a small trunk. She made her way to the front of the ship, the crush of beings sweeping her along. Her green hand was extended, sweeping her clearance card under a series of scanners. Her other hand holding the crate tightly, her trunk floating behind her, emitting a soft dinging noise every few seconds as if to tell her it was still there. Passing the last gate, a red glow stopped her, creating a stasis field around her, making it impossible to move. A man in a brown uniform sighed and got up from his chair, PPG at the ready.

"Miss, are you aware you are bringing a class one animal onto the station?"

She nodded. "Yes, Sir".

"You are aware it will be confiscated, and ejected from the station unless deemed safe within an hour?"

"Yes, Sir. Jax will give you no trouble"

The guard moved to release her from the stasis field, taking the crate from her at the same time. She moved into the station, catching her trunk as she did so, anchoring it once again to the ground. She killed an hour in a nearby cafe, before proceeding to security to fetch Jax.

"Security, how can we be of assistance?"

"Yes, I'm here to pick up my Canguis"

"You're the Idiot who brought one of those on board?" He leaned across the desk a little and lowered his voice. "You have the friendliest pet I ever met. How'd you train it? I've met dogs more hostile than him, and HE'S the class one?"

"So, I take it he is cleared for departure?"

"Yes, Ma'am, here he is."

The snake-dog bounded down the hall, its flexible legs giving it enough spring to jump on top of her head, where it decided to nest and fall asleep. She reached up and pulled him off her head, clipping a leash over its head. She thanked the officer and proceeded down the hall and into a bathroom.

Hidden inside her black button-down, high collared dress was her wand. Pulling it out from the folds of her dress, the green stick seemed to emit a purple glow. Waving it over herself, her appearance transfigured to that of a thirteen-year old girl and her clothes resized to fit. Her mother had placed an aging charm over her before she left so she would have no trouble entering the station. Exiting her hiding place, she looked at the sea of faces and Aliens. There were a few she recognized from school, the Narn and Minbari in particular. Proceeding to deck three, she entered a funny looking observatory, pushed through a cloud of muggles, and tapped the third window to the right. The triangular pane slid out, expanding into a tunnel. She crawled into the tunnel, and watched as the pane sealed around her. It seemed like she was floating in space in a triangular prism. Slowly, a small speck came into view. It was a dome on a moon that was orbiting the nearby planet. The shuttle banked, and she stepped off. A small Wizard, one presumably of Narn origin, was holding a tablet and rushed out to meet her.

"Name?"

"Akarin, Fayar"

"Race?"

"Human of Darkness"

"Do you mean soldier of darkness?"

"No, My mother was a victim of a Soldier and survived. They developed a Psychic link to each other and things grew from there. My father is a Solder, my mother a Human."

"School?"

"Mornacer"

"Wand?"

"Eve, 11 ¾ inches, Jay feather core."The Narn looked puzzled.

"I don't think I have ever come across that combination, or those materials before"

"They were a gift from my father. I don't get to see him, but he sends gifts from time to time. On my 8th birthday he sent me wand materials and told me to take them to Frex Garybalding"

"Go on in. Babylon welcomes you, fellow Wizard"
