SIMPLY MAGIC- NO MORE, NO LESS
Chapter Six- The hidden school
By animematchmaker
(A/N- By the way, you must be wondering who Mysti is! Duh! She's the Mystical Elf!)
SUMMARY-
"…My…my name is Mana…" she stuttered, coughing. Mysti smiled thoughtfully and grabbed the tray, placing it on her bed.
"Come on Mana! Eat up! We have a big day ahead!" she grinned. Her stomach grumbled in chorus with Mana's. They glanced at each other and laughed. And like a pack of hungry wolves, they lunged at the food offered, stuffing themselves until they were full.
"Are…are…we…fr…friends?" asked Mana nervously when they were finished. Mysti smiled, grabbed Mana's hand and rushed out.
"Of course we are!"
Both Mana and Mysti accelerated faster and faster, laughing happily, until they crashed into another orphaned girl.
"HEY! WATCH IT!" she yelled, "You almost ruined my hair!"
Mana and her new friend helped each other up. Mysti gasped and backed away behind Mana. The self-conscious dark-haired girl smirked.
"Mysti, Mysti, Mysti…always hiding behind people! When are you going to learn?" she sneered, patting her bouncy brown hair. Then she glared at Mana. And smiled sweetly.
"Ooh! New girl huh? Hi! My name is Lily! What's your name?" she said as if she had sucking sweet lollypops all day…
"Mana. But I rather not hang around prissy creeps like you…" Mana replied slowly. Lily looked stunned!
"Excuse me, but you're, like, talking to the most popular girl in this school! Hello?" she said, pushing it further. Mana laughed sarcastically.
"So what if you're popular? It's not you're like the queen of Ancient Egypt or something!"
Lily frowned at Mana. Then, as she was about to turn around to walk off, she bumped into someone.
"I SAID, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU-"
Lily looked up and saw Mahaado and starting blushing like mad.
"Omigosh! I'm sooo sorry Master Mahaado! But these girls were bullying me and then you came and-"
Mahaado's face was expressionless as the other two cracked up in a midst of laughter.
"I, uh, gotta go now! See you later Master!" said Lily, speeding off. Mana and Mysti were still laughing their heads off when she left. Mahaado stared at both of them.
"Mana, I need to see you for a moment" he said mysteriously.
"Can I come too, Master Mahaado?" asked Mysti innocently. Mahaado shook his head.
"I'm sorry but this is a private matter, Mysti" he replied. Mana frowned at him.
"She can come with us if she wants to" she said.
"Don't worry Mana, I'll be fine. Um, I'll see you later then!" Mysti smiled, happily running off. Mana waved as her newly found friend disappeared into the distance. Then she faced Mahaado.
"Yes? What do you want?" she inquired in a rude, attitude-like tone.
"Follow me," Mahaado answered quickly.
Like the night before, Mana and Mahaado were in complete silence. Not saying a word to each other.
I wonder if he likes me…
Mahaado stopped to face Mana and she walked right into him.
"Sorry," they both said at the same time, blushing a bright crimson. Mahaado whirled around and coughed as he entered a different building. Mana followed.
"Um…" Mana began nervously, "Ma…Mahaado…What is this place anyway…?"
Mahaado sat down on a seat made out of rock and beckoned Mana over to sit next to him.
"You do realize that this is a magic school, correct?" he said. Mana blinked in surprise.
"Really? Nobody told me that until now…" she answered quietly, still blushing. Mahaado smiled but Mana hardly noticed.
"Only worthy spellcasters are permitted on these grounds…"
"…And I'm a worthy spellcaster?"
"Yes…that is why you are here. Destiny did its part…"
Mana paused.
"I heard that somewhere before…"
:FLASHBACK:
After a while of searching the town, Mana and Sunny reached a small, underground path that lead to a wise old scholar who studied the whereabouts of the Pharaoh and his servants. The room was slightly illuminated with a hole in the ceiling of the cave. Bizarre objects lined the shelves of the place.
"…Hello…what…can…I…do…for…you…" the wise old scholar said, making the place echo hauntingly.
Both the siblings were freaked! Then Sunny spoke up.
"Er-hum! Y-Yes! M-Me and m-my s-s-sister wanted t-to k-know about t-the p-p-pharaoh's s-servants…p-p-please…?" he stammered.
"…Hmm…I…see…you…want…to…seek…knowledge…of…the…six…priests…is…that…correct…" whispered the wise old scholar.
"Um…I think so…" said Mana, hiding behind her little brother. Then she cleared her throat.
"I…I would…l-like to know wh-who possesses the M-Millennium ring."
The wise old scholar tapped the rock and thought.
"…That…is…simple…to…tell…you…I…cannot…you…must…find…out…yourself… destiny…will…do…its…part…"
:END FLASHBACK:
Mana snapped out of her daze and glanced at the man sitting next to her.
"That scholar was YOU? But…but…how did you change your form?" she asked as a million questions rushed through her head making her even more confused that before.
"Mana, I am one of the six priests that protects the Pharaoh Atemu…I am Priest Mahaado, are you aware of that?" Mahaado said firmly. Mana nodded.
"But what does this have to do with me? And…what else are you hiding from me? Tell me!" Mana demanded loudly. Mahaado shook his head.
"You will learn the truth when you are older…"
"But Mahaado! I am older! I want to know NOW! Please?" Mana begged. Mahaado got irritated and rose up, leaving the young girl in the room. There was a clank and he disappeared. Mana rushed out, trying to catch him, but he wasn't there!
"Inconsiderate bastard!" she muttered, "AH!"
Mana clumsily tripped over a long pole. Cursing under her breath, she picked it up and stared. The pole/staff had an Ankh featured at the top and the rest of the pole was black.
"Oh great. The genius has left his own staff. How smart," said Mana smugly. But then she noticed the hieroglyphics that clearly stated her name 'Mana.'
"Is this a joke? I'm not…I'm not…I'm just a normal…person…"
Mana looked thoughtfully at the rod held by both her hands.
"But if what Mahaado said was true, maybe I am a spellcaster…"
She twirled the staff in her hand and smiled.
"Cool!" she laughed, running back to her residential building (where she was staying). Her friend Mysti was waiting for her at the ground floor.
"Hiya Mana! So what did Master Mahaado say to you? Hey…cool staff!" she complimented, happy to have some company with her.
"Thanks…and oh…nothing much…just some stuff…" said Mana as she and Mysti walked into a classroom…
What is Mahaado hiding from Mana?
Anyway R+R!
Next Chapter- Friends and foes
(A/N- I made Injection Angel Lily into the most popular girl because she looked like a popular person anyway! LOL. I'm not bashing her! Seriously! I like Injection Angel Lily!)
