Been musing over writing a skylanders fic for a while now so I've decided to bite my lip and just do it. There needs to be more skylanders fiction. ANYWAY. I hope you enjoy

It didn't matter how long I'd been here, the school had never quite felt right. I know my fellow students were talking behind my back and it took all of my strength to ignore them. I had very few real friends I could trust. First there was my best friend Hex. She and I had been together since the day she arrived here. The other students avoided her, completely terrified of her because of her element. I have never found her scary, just different.

Next there was Rider. He never fails to make me laugh, and well, he's a complete gentleman. He's like the older brother I've always dreamed of having. I know he'll never let me down. His element, like Hex, is undead but strangely enough, no one fears him. He is adored by half the female population of the school, making him quite popular. I don't know why he choses to hang around with us but whatever the reason, I'm greatful he does. He rides around upon an ostrich skeleton called Fright whenever he can. They make one of the best teams in the entire school.
At the end of the year, he's due to take the final trial to become a Skylander. I've going to miss him, and I know Hex definately will aswell. The place definately won't be the same without him.

Then there's Chill. She's completely relaxed about nearly everything, althought she can get pretty scary when the occassion calls for it. Her level of dedication to a task once she sets her mind to it is unmatched throughout the entire school. I have no doubt that she will become a Skylander when the time is right. Her element is water and it truely shows in her personality.

Finally there's Sprocket, the last to join our band of misfits. If there's anything that's broken, she can definately fix it. She's enthusiastic about everything and every task assigned to her and is always fun to be around. She never judges anyone until she gets to know them. Her element is tech and it suits her right to her core. Until she joined us, our group was definately incompletely.

I'm sure you're wondering about me, right? Well, I go by the name Stealth Elf. My element is life and I'm the only one of the element that isn't a plant or atleast part plant in the entire school...in Skylands actually. This has made me an outcast I guess...not that I mind so much, a ninja works best alone. I don't remember my parents to be completely honest. I was found and adopted by an old, gnarled stumpy looking creature who turned out to be the guardian of the forest. He trained me in the ancient art of stealth. It wasn't long before I was running circles around him though, and that's when he decided to enroll me into the academy.

I loved it at first. Everyone was the same, no cliques, no groups and no one was outcast. Everyone was nice, but of course that never lasts. As the groups formed, I found myself increasingly alone. The revealing of our elements pretty much sealed my fate. The was when the whispering started and I realised that no one wanted anything to do with me. I was alone. No one would even share a dorm room with me, that was until Hex enrolled a year later. Everyone feared her as rumors from her old school spread like wild fire. I guess in times of desperation, the desperate flock together. We've been insperable since then.

Perhaps I should say alittle more about our academy. It's massive! There are twelve training arenas, eight of which are dedicated to a specific element and the other four are for general training. This academy is so highly sort after and exclusive because this is the only place where future Skylanders are trained. We are trained primarily in our elements and everything we'd need to know to survive. We are also taught several different languages commonly used throughout Skylands, general knowledge and at least basic math. History, science and anything else is left to choice but the more you learn, the better prepared you'll be.

Dorm rooms are shared between three and four students of the same gender. Naturally, I room with Hex, Chill and Sprocket. The rooms are quite spacious. We each have our own bedroom, there's a small kitchen, a small bathroom and a living area where we can hang out in our free time. All students meet in the dining hall every morning for breakfast. The kitchen is opened all day, opening at 6am and closing at 9pm. Students are free to come and go between classes to get snacks and drinks to keep their strength up.

Also provided are bathrooms with several toilets and showers. All students are expected to wash and shower after every training session. Can you imagine a classroom full of stinky, sweaty students? Nasty.
Thankfully the showers are single sex only rooms. I would probably die if I had to share and shower in a room with guys trying to peek every five seconds. I would never feel safe in the shower again!

Ok, enough of that. I'm sure you're wondering what it takes to graduate. To become a Skylander, a student must master their element, reach and maintain peak physical condition, keep their grades up to their own individual level and pass a final trial when their schooling years are over. It's quite daunting to be honest, although my teachers all assure me that I'll be perfectly fine. This will be my fourth year here, next year will be my last before I attempt the final trial and become a Skylander. When Rider attempts his final trial, he's requested Hex and myself be present to support him. Usually the trials are secret and personal, but he insisted and requested us be there. It will be an advantage for us, we will get an idea of what we might be put through.

All I want this year is peace, but knowing the shenanigans that occur here, I know that won't happen.
Wish me luck!

Sorry, that was a little boring but you but thankyou for reading through it. I have great ideas for this, I just have to find a way to put them into words, so until next time
