Thanks for going ahead to read chapter 1. I will try my best to make this a longer chapter^^ But there is only so much you can put into the first chapters before your audience gets bored. So I hopefully will be able to keep you guys excited. Thanks for reading!


Chirps from the black crows centered in from the trees that reached above the Palace. The palace wasn't meant for royalty, it was more rather for the head masters, Sir Audrey and his partner Madam Maelle. A wealthy man with a grey collared shirt and red tie walked onto the stadium. He tapped the microphone that was in-front of him, testing the audio it sent out towards the crowd. The chatters from the citizens turned into hushed murmurs that allowed attention to be sent upon the strange man.

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Sir Lionel, and I will be your speaker today," The man pulled out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and placed it on his brow, whipping the tiny beads of sweat that came from the heat. "Today is a very important and special day for you youngsters since many of you will be apprenticed in the fine arts of magic here at our newly established Wizard Academy in Wizard City, the neighboring world to Krokotopia. I'm sure many of you are unsure of which of the 7 schools you are wanting to attend, yes? That's certainly okay, because you each will be questioned several things on a small personality test and will receive one or two choices to choose from," Sir Lionel continued, "If you receive a school you are not wanting you may pick another, but perhaps may struggle to get along with those students or even the element you have chosen. So please, do consider carefully."

The puffy man took a bow and then retreated from the stadium. There were seven very official looking professors that took his place, and all the sudden the sky grew dark and lightening struck the brazers that were on each corner of the stadium, leaving the crowd to "awes" and "oos". "Halston, was the very necessary?" A women that had flames for hair and a fiery dress mumbled. She was quite elegant looking, and Alyssa assumed she was the fire school professor. "It seemed to get everyone's attention, yes, Dalia? There's nothing wrong with a little excitement. I am the most Favorited teacher at the academy for this reason, aha!" The women rolled her eyes and huffed, "Barely."

An aged women flew to the microphone. She had gray hair, with a blue snow patterned dress and hat to match it. Her wings were barely visible except for the snow flakes that were pasted onto them. "Hello, new students!" The crowd answered their hellos back and she smiled with satisfaction. As she spoke a breeze welcomed itself into the heated air. It really did feel nice since everyone was picking up a sweat. "I am Lydia Greyrose, the ice professor at Wizard City Academy. I will be the one who sorts out the testing between students, so please make seven single filed lines towards the stadium. You will be taken by one of the seven professors, Professor Malestaire Drake the teacher of death, Professor Dalia Falmea the teacher of fire, Professor Halston Balestrom the teacher of storm, Professor Cyrus Drake the teacher of myth, Professor Sylvia Drake the teacher of life, Professor Alhazred the teacher of balance, and I, Lydia Greyrose, the teacher of the pure snowy waters, Ice. Now everyone please form your lines!"


The lines weren't as long as Alyssa had thought they would be. Each line had about forty students in it, and they moved rather quickly. The lines went in Alphabetical order. "Miss what be your name?" The frog-man that had struck the lightning, Halston, asked the nervous novice. "A-Alyssa," She stuttered, the man was actually quite short, but after that display he showed he seemed a bit frightening to the young girl. "Alyssa Bloom, Sir."

The man checked off a box that was centered next to her name on a well sized scroll. "Go on into that purple portal behind me. It will take you to the testing room." The man pointed behind him to a purple light that shimmered as the breeze spoke. Alyssa walked up to it and took a breath in. She had read many stories about portals, but she had never seen one. Novice wizards were kept inside their districts before they were coming of age. It was a strict rule, but it was to keep everyone safe. She touched the portal with her hand and it forced her inside, allowing a small shriek to form out of Alyssa's mouth.

She plopped onto a cushion that was placed where she fell. "Oof!" She sat up and dusted off her silk dress, if she had not mother would not be pleased. Alyssa looked around the small space. The light was dim and the only object inside was a small with many symbols and characters on it. There was an inked pen floating above the test.

"Welcome young wizard. Are you a girl or a boy?" A voice boomed above Alyssa, startling her as she felt it touch her. She noticed it was reading the questions on the scroll. She checked the box that read "Girl." The voice started up again saying, "Very good. Now, what is your name and what do you look like?" That was very odd of a question she thought. Alyssa checked off the appearances that matched her, and scribbled down her name on the line below it. "Ahh, I see you more clearly now," The voice continued.


After the test took place a few minutes later her results teleported into her hands. Alyssa opened the scroll and found that she had been chosen as Fire, the school of flames. At the bottom it read, "Would you like to pick another school?" and Alyssa checked the "no" box. "This was the exact school I was hoping for!" She thought to herself, and walked into the next portal, being more aware of what it will do, and was off to her house.

Alyssa ran up and gave her mother a big hug. "What did you get, Dear?" Her mother asked and gave a small kiss on her cheek. Alyssa smiled from ear to ear and unraveled the scroll with the results to her test. "Mama, it was exactly what I was hoping for! Aren't you proud?" Her mother smiled weakly and said a white lie. Really Ms. Bloom had hoped for her to be life, for that is what she was when she was trained. "Just don't go burning the dorms down, Dear." She finished and left Alyssa to change into the Fire apprentice uniform that had been sent after the results came in.

Alyssa had a small pink and yellow hat with a robe to match it. It wasn't very fashionable but it'd do. She tied her hair with a ribbon allowing her blonde pony tale to fall over her shoulder. This was it; Alyssa was ready to become a registered student at Wizard City Academy.
