Ten years later Alice is still living in the village, but now with a
different child. As a village tradition, once a child reaches the age of
eighteen they are to leave and venture on their own. Alice now lives with
a girl named Aleana, a very strong, and loving seventeen-year-old girl.
"Alice, can you go down to the river and collect water?" Asked Aleana from inside their hut.
"Sure," Alice said walking down to the river. She wore a brown dress that reaches the top of her knees.
Alice stepped into the river, a pail in her hand, and felt coolness and life streaming through her. She dipped the pail into the water and let it fill, once it was from carried back up to the village.
When walking back Alice remembered Aden, her old child guardian. Everything had changed since he left, including Alice. She now had blonde hair that reached down to her collarbone. Alice was always very quiet and read all the old village books. She even preformed magic with the village.
Once Alice reached the hut an owl, of brown and red, greeted her. The owl had a letter clamped in it beak. This was very strange for Alice, owls weren't seen in her village, but this owl seemed to know it's way around. It suddenly dropped the letter on the ground, but stayed where it was.
Alice put down her pail and picked up the letter, it was addressed to her. Her eyes widened as she opened and unfolded the letter. It read:
Dear Miss Cooper, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Talsquash Academy of Magic. Please find enclosed a list of necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31. Yours sincerely,

Alice's smiled from ear to ear, she about screamed. She ran into her hunt and almost ran into Aleana. She was jumping up and down trying to talk but was speechless. All Alice did was give the letter to Aleana, but still jumped up and down.
"You've been accepted to go to a magic school," Aleana said happily. "Well give your reply and give it to the owl, and give it a piece of that meat."
Nodding Alice took a quill and wrote her replying letter, then went outside. She gave the owl the meat, and then the letter. It flew off, flying as fast as it could. Alice squealed and ran back into the hut, just to find out about a celebration.
That whole night the village, ate, and talked. The spoke to Alice and gave her their blessing, then a little course in magic. She transfigured a stick into a rock, and made the rock float in the air. Once it was over Alice laid in her bed, smiling in her pillow.
