Ben held Mal's hand as the five of them stood waiting for the limo which would be bringing the next 4 villains to Auradon. They were due to arrive any minute, and Ben was perhaps more nervous than he was the last time he stood here.
The night before they had gathered in the boys room and talked about the four new students. Ben had heard a few things about them before they sent out the invitations but they decided to wait until the night before everyone arrived too cover everything else.
First there was Lucan, after being banished to the Isle Yzma had set up a shop which sold heeling poultices and the like. Nothing magical of course, folk remedies mostly and of course some prettily coloured water which didn't do anything. Lucan seemed to spend most of his life in the forest on the Isle looking for the plants and animals that his Mother needed. When they were younger he had decided that he was going to be a Healer when he grew up, their teacher at the time was not particularly amused.
Zephyr was still a mystery, even though the originals had spent several years in school with him they travelled in different circles. He was an incredible marksman and spent most of his time on rooftops throwing rotten fruit at people, mostly people who had annoyed or hurt his sister, Ruby.
Ruby was the almost the polar opposite to Zephyr, when he was climbing on to the school roof she was fixing her make up in the bathroom with Evie. The one thing her and Zephyr had in common was they were extremely protective of each other, if you hurt one you hurt the other.
Elvira was a completely different story; she seemed to be almost universally disliked on the Isle, except by a few. Jay had the most contact with her; apparently she had helped him out of a few spots of difficulty before. And he had done a few favours for her in return, stole a thing or two. The two of them had a few conversations over the course of the years, but he still barely knew anything about her. The one thing all four of them could agree on was that she had the worst school record of everyone on the Isle, only showing up for class once or twice a week.
Feeling a squeeze to his hand Ben looked up, the new descendants had just pulled up.
Meant to do this when I uploaded the first chapter but forgot, not really a good start. This will not be updated every couple of days but weekly, you are getting this update today because you this was supposed to be part of chapter one but I love my niece (even though she won't stop spelling a certain word at the top of her voice, bet you can't guess which...) and she wanted to press the post button. She was also leaving and not coming back for a week or so, and I couldn't say no.
Chapters will probable end up averaging between 1000-2000 words and this will be updated at the same time as TOP.
Also, fun theory (to me):
My theory (because I don't like the whole modern day thing) is that up until Beast did his whole lets all unite thing the Kingdoms pretty much ignored each other. They all had their own problems to deal with so didn't really pay attention to each other.
Anyway, a couple of kingdoms started developing technology but weren't aware of it because they were opposite sides of Auradon they didn't realize they were until a couple of years before the whole lets unite thing. They then started working together and rapidly advanced, but they needed somewhere to put all their outdated technology. This is when the Isle of the Lost and the uniting came into play. Kingdoms united, got rid of the villains and their technology all at the same time.
They then shared the technology with the other kingdoms who underwent a rapid modernization but unlike us they didn't have the whole woman's rights thing and they were still very much all about the Royal family ruling. Because of this they still have the only boys play most sports, it's also why Mal/Evies bedroom is different to Carlos/Jays room and everything like that.
What do you guys think of that? Review and share your thoughts on how awesome it is, or you know, completely rip it apart. Your choice, I would love to hear your thoughts either way.
