Chapter 1: The Gathering
"Once upon a time, there were seven princes who destined to save princesses. Each time the seven princes saved a princess; seven different colours emerged from each prince. Together, all the colours combined, a way to the eternity known as L'Arc-en-ciel will show and the princesses will pray through it to grant happiness.Envied with the princesses, a woman from the darkness appeared and called herself 'The Witch'. She cursed all the princes with different curses so, the princesses could no longer pray for their wishes. No ones knew what kind of curses that the witch made towards the princes and since then, the world had lost its colour and its happiness."
As the story made into the full-stop, she raised her eyebrows, "A prince and a princess again and again and again, why I have to read this?"
Beside her, sat a small girl with short and silver-hair, dressed in the most likely 'boy-uniform' "It's going to be in the festival, sempai… and we, the student council, have to perform it", answered the girl straight forward.
"Ooo, please, Reni… who is going to perform this? Anyway, what kind of story of this? I never heard it before…"
"It's called 'L'Arc-en-ciel, Asuka", another voiced came from the back of reddish-brown hair's girl who claimed to be Asuka.
Asuka rose from her seat as her dress flung and turned; her blue eyes stared at the owner of the voice, a tall girl in the same uniform as Reni. After calm herself, she shouted "You startled me, Haruka-Sempai!"
"Sorry", the tall girl, Haruka, could only laugh with the half German-Japanese's antic. She is the president of the student council and the oldest member.
"But really, I never heard it before and who would suggest this story anyway?"
"How long you have been here, Asuka? It is our school fairy-tales you know" Haruka said, sounded surprised.
"It has been passed through out generation to generation in the history of Jardin Eternelle School" informed Reni in utterly lack of intone voice.
"Thank you, Reni… You are very HELPING", Asuka replied sarcastically, "Why can't we just choose Cinderella or something else? That is more… more common"
"Well, I just knew it from this morning… I don't even know who chose it anyway" as she wiped her short-dirty blond hair, "Do you know who, Reni?"
"The headmaster"
Reni's voice silencing both of her sempai, "So, we suppose to have meeting, no?" Haruka looked around her, "Where is everybody?"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jardin Eternelle School is an all-girl school which located in the Zurich, Switzerland. It is a famous private school in Europe and has been attended by various nationalities and backgrounds which made it even more well-known. Dresscode is also one of the characteristic of Jardin Eternelle where the students were given a choice in their school uniform, either in dress or trousers.
The school was formed more than thousand of years ago even before the independence of Switzerland. The building stood like 'U' form and divided into three parts. The left wing is where classes and teachers' offices located. The main building contained a grand hall for multi-purpose activities, administration office include the Chairman office on the very top and also the student council headquarter. At last, the right wing is the locations for club's activities, cafeteria, the official school's library and gymnasium. In between all the three parts, there is the yard where it includes garden and for outdoor sport activities. Its philosophy, introduced by the early founder of the school, is "Centre of Europe, place where eternity rise and fall", which basically named the school itself, Jardin Eternelle or eternal garden.
Through out history; it has been witnessing many life and events, chronicled in or out the historical record. The chairmen from generation to generation were able to chain those secrecies in the old library behind the school. Anyone is forbid to enter and no one ever knew what would happen to those who violate them. No one knew…

"I don't believe you, Mireille… you are late for the meeting!" Haruka stunned by her colleague or her 'vice-president'.
"Silence, Haruka, I know I am late and I am sorry", the other woman answered coldly. Her long-blond hair was pushed aside, only to see how annoyed she is with the other blond.
"Uh… it's ok… it just… it just not likes you to be late…" she turned to the others, "and what reason you had this time, ladies?"
Other members were blushing except Asuka, Reni and a pink-hair girl with boy's uniform who sat in between the other two late members. They were sitting around an oval table, the exact opposite of Haruka and Mireille. From the left, there was a brunette hair girl with rose earrings on her ears, sat next to Reni.
"I am sorry, sempai! I was in the library with some friend and I forgot the time"
"Hmm… it's not typical of Makoto to be in library…"
"Haruka-sempai!"
"Haha… but still you are late! Next…"
The pink hair girl slowly took something in her pocket, a paper, and gave it to Haruka.
"What is it?" Haruka looked the content of the paper and red it out loud, "Student Name: Tenjou Utena has been attending 'detention' for breaking Jardin Eternelle School's rules No. 132 which is- Ow! Cut it out! Ok… Next, what you have now, Rei?"
The raven haired girl startled as Haruka mentioned her name, "I… uh… I have other business to attend-"
"Just tell them that you hooked up with this girl named Aino, right?" Asuka eyes turned evilly as all of them could see how red Rei's face became.
"NO, I AM NOT!"
"Then why your face turned red?"
"It's not!" standing from her chair, now her face became red from rage.
"It is!" Asuka stood to face the other girl.
"SILENCE!"
The room turned quite from Mireille's sudden out burst. She then sat back to her seat and sign.
"I think we have something else to discuss, right?"
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the darkness, neither in the day or night, but in the heart of one, three people stood, facing each other before the sun greets them.
"Everything is under control, my queen… As soon as they all gather, then we will destroy them and close the gate to eternity"
"Bravo, my dear servant, Beryl… It is a great deal I have awoken you and your hatred…"
"I am in your debt, my queen and now, will you excuse me…"
Beryl disappeared from her queen, "Yes, your hatred… and your foolishness", her laughed echoed inside the dark, tranquil heart and she turned to Wiseman on her side and then closed her eyes, whispering "My love, soon, we can be together for eternity".
Then the sun rose to start a new day, awaking a new fate.
