Pendu does not speak English, at least not in the story but for the benefit of the read it's translated. But her natural English is, worse then mine.
EDIT: I combined two chapters as it seem to fit better.
She stepped away from the transportation station as she shifted the luggage from one hand to the other, the crowd was small today currently but she still was cautious as her grasp on the English language is a bit iffy despite being taught by her aunts. Ether she was a lazy student or they are rotten teachers, but right now she hopes she does not offend anyone by saying the wrong thing here. Shoving these thoughts aside as the bus to Alfea had pulled up the curve she quickly boarded, head into the back of the bus afterwards. It was a short trip but the anxiety building up in her stomach made it feel like it was an eternity and when the bus finally stopped she felt very ill.
"Are you okay?" a young lady said, she looked to be the same age as Pendu but slightly taller and with small horns coming from her forehead. They were not very threatening but they did add "character" to this girl, "you don't look too good."
"Mine am sorry. This has been myself first here," Pendu blushed a bit as she took in a deep breath, then she realized the girl was staring at her funny. "Myself is English, how do you say, is pretty Terrify."
The girl blinked, then it was clear that the girl is from a different realm that speaks a different language. "Oh, sorry. I want to welcome you to Magix, my name is Pape Thoth."
Pendu took a moment rolling her tongue around a bit as she tried to speak, "myself is Pendu Fante." The two stepped off the bus along other people, before them was the gates of the school for fairies. Stepping forward they could see the tall towers peeking over the fence in all their glory and as the gate opened the entire display of the academy was shown to them, they stood their for a moment in amazement. They both said the first things that came to mind.
"Wow."
A bit close by a red personal royal ship had landed in the parking area and the door opened, she was not impressed by the bright colors of these sickeningly sweet place nor she is found of the other girls standing around here, she looked over to the bus stop to find some students coming early. She held the papers and luggage tightly as the ship took off, these people were annoying especially the two over at the gate that seemed astounded by this goody goodness setting, she was sickened but ignored them on her way to the road to Cloud Tower.
She passed a few students when one of them tried to get her attention but kept on walking, the girl watched the fleeting princess figuring that maybe the woman was lost. She stepped quickly, she managed to catch up and call to her again. "What?" Forza spun on her heels with fires in her eyes, "do you need something?"
"I was just wanted to tell you that Alfea is over there," she pointed towards the gates but trailed off as she saw the cold look on the other woman's face. "But if you want to go to Cloud Tower, the quicker way is through the invisible road and cutting through the dark swamp on the bridge."
Forza stood there glaring at the girl a second shifting her luggage from one hand to the other before turning away, but before walking away she did say one thing. "Thanks."
Stormy walked home, she felt a bit lonely as she had sent her daughter away but in the same instant she had a feeling that she was doing the right thing. But among these confusing feelings she felt as if she had forgotten something, it was important and highly vital. Whatever it was it will come to her, she was at the moment at the door of the Trix weapon store unlocking the front door.
"Where's the princess?" Stormy was knocked back by Darcy's sudden appearance and shouting, "well?"
"Well what?" Stormy was confused as to why Icy was behind the counter selecting some of the cursed swords, then she recalled that today was supposed to be weapons training. "Oh, I forgot."
The two looked at her with dull expressions but then continued as if nothing was wrong, Icy placed a pile of swords on the counter. "This should be enough, get Pendu down here."
Stormy blinked then it hit her again, she forgot to tell them about the news. "I cannot, she is not here."
"Well go find her." Darcy snipped, "our time is being wasting."
"Well, she went to Magix." Stormy shifted, "to school."
The two blinked before bursting into laughter for several minutes but Stormy just stood there silently, then they each calmed down until it was not amusing anymore. "So, you decided to send her to Cloud Tower. When they find out she's a Trix she, along with us, will be sent to Light Heaven." Darcy crossed her arms a bit peeved, "how can you be so irresponsible."
"A, I am not irresponsible like you two. B, I did not send her willy nilly to Cloud Tower, she is not even at that place."
"What does that mean, never mind." Icy walked around the counter and joined Darcy in the stare down, "and we are good teachers. What is wrong with us, and there is no other witch schools in Magix."
"Unless you sent her to Alfea." Darcy snickered but it died when the realization had dawn on the two, they blinked a few times. "You did not send Pendu to there?"
"What are you thinking?" Icy shouted, "she's a pure blooded witch, a descent of the Dark Coven and you send her to pixie school? What would mom and dad say?"
"Oh, you mean after being quiet since I found out about Pendu?" Stormy crossed her arms as she growled a bit, "and you two are bad teachers, did you ever hear her speak English. She's down right terrible."
"You speak English." the two shouted.
"But not in fifteen years, and there is no real need for that language here." Stormy sighed, "you two are hopeless. I did the right thing, and if you do anything to ruin her life." sparks flew around her, she did not need to speak her threat. Stormy stalked into the back room without even looking back allow the two to run the store, but the two just looked at each other.
"Alfea?"
"Well there goes our chance for revenge, Darcy." Icy walked back behind the counter and looked down at the swords. Such a waste.
Darcy on the other hand was rearranging many of the armor sections around from Light to dark and poison to cure for better order, but there was something on her mind that was twisting around a bit. Icy noticed and raised a brow, she looked up with a small smirk. "Perhaps not, maybe we can used this to our advantage."
Icy smiled as an evil gleam appeared in her eye.
"Are you here for early sign up?" a brunette woman with a sour expression holding a clipboard standing in the center of the courtyard as Pendu and Pape approached her, they nodded and she looked through her information. "Names?"
"Pape Thoth."
"Pendu Fante."
The woman looked through the pages, "here you two are. Go to Ms. Faragonda's office for room assignment." the two walked close to each other as they entered the building, the inside was grand in minor details but seemed simple in its own way with the basic color scheme and lack of decorative objects. They traveled up a set of stairs with windows overlooking the courtyard and the garden and took a small second to enjoy the sight.
"This is loving."
Pape sweatdropped. "The word is lovely."
"Thank." Pendu smiled as she walked up to the top, turning around she found Pape standing there a bit zoned out. "Thoth-san?"
"Huh, oh. I will met you later, I want to explore a bit. No rush, right." she smiled a bit, Pendu nodded as she smiled back. Returning to face the garden she watched the garden silently before reaching out and pressed the finger tips against the window, slipping through as if nether was real but as she emerged on the other side everything had changed. The sky was purple and the land was dead, the atmosphere was devoid of all life and the building lost the wonderful whimsy and was replaced with dark and angry energy.
"Come to see me?"
"It's here, isn't it? Uncle?" Pape looked up at thin air as a form took physical aspect, he did not take on full physical form but enough for some shape.
"Here, it is here among the ruins of the looking glass realm." the form pointed an unformed mass towards the school, "but they are scattered and hidden. Time is short, but do not do anything in haste." Pape nodded, she return to the window and slipped back into the Alfea that return to the normal life as if nothing happened.
Pendu saw the elderly woman sitting behind the desk doing several piles of paper work. She approached, she was nerves but the woman looked up and there was no turning back. "Uh, hi."
"Can I help you?" Pendu swallowed hard as she dug out the papers she is supposed to hand over and almost tripped on her way to placing them on the desk, Faragonda picked them up and read it over. "I see, how is your English?" she spoke in Pendu's native tongue.
"I understand a lot but my speech is a bit off." Pendu shifted, "I was hoping to have course in English here among other things."
"Well we begin school on Monday," Faragonda stamped the papers and handed them back to her. "You will be assigned a room mate when more students show up, the room number is 133."
She smiled as she bowed before leaving, but as she walked down the corridor she suddenly clicked her heels a bit. She was now a Alfea student.
The family was looking forward to the send off party they were planing for Forza for sometime now and was very disappointed in Bloom's decision to send her early, they left the small gifts as Bloom was going to give them to her daughter on the weekend. At the moment Bloom was in the kitchen a bit disappointment at the large cake, there was pieces missing here and there. Across from her was her mother, eating a piece of the cake. "Why does she hate me?"
Vanessa looked up at her child a bit confused, "Bloom?"
"All she has ever done is disrespect me, argue with me and has gone out of her way to just anger me." Bloom sighed, "she was not like this when she was eight, what did I do wrong?"
"This is just a phase," Vanessa said. "She'll grow out of it with time, like when you were at that age."
"That is what scares me." Bloom shifted a bit as her eyes were focused on the wedding ring, "making the same mistakes I did. Is that what scares me, or is it making much more dire ones."
"I can understand." she pushed away the empty plate, "I worried like that, Mrs. Cavaliere."
"Ha, ha." Bloom glared a bit at her mother's snide sense of humor. She has to admit it was a mistake she had done years ago but she would not trade her family for anything. She sighed, "I hope Alfea helps sort out her attitude."
"I doubt it," Vanessa cut off another piece. "I'm going to take your father a piece."
"Alright." Bloom let her thoughts settle for the moment as she lean back in the chair, her mother's dislike of the school was pretty clear since she came to them with the news of being pregnant. The thought of what she often said about Alfea kept running through her mind a bit, but maybe things changed there.
Cloud Tower was full of students waiting for the semester, there would be more to come soon but it was all prepared for all of them. Down at the gates a young princess had walked through them, she was admiring the architecture of this building as she walked a flight of stairs to the headmistress's office. Now this is impressive, she thought to herself as she followed several students to the office of Ms. Griffin. In front of the double doors of the powerful witch was a sign, Forza read it over quickly.
"Sorry." the girl said, she looked over Forza making sure she was all right as Forza was trying to step away. "I was experimenting with a spell and it blow up, the nurse said it would take a few hours for my sight to stop blurring."
"Sorry to hear about that," Forza said in a careless tone. She tried to walk away but the young girl followed behind her. "Please get away from me," she snapped a bit but the would not leave as she lean in a bit close. Forza had the feeling that this girl was very strange, strange indeed. "Yes?"
"Are you? Could you be?" the girl leaned back, her eyes were shimmering a bit. Forza looked her over, she appeared to be a little younger then her, somehow. The brown hair and pink eyes might have enhanced the aura a bit, "are you the princess of Elarklion?"
Forza rolled her eyes a bit. "If I said I am would you leave me alone?"
"I'm Mago Irson, princess of the second moon of Solaria." she smiled a bit, "it is so refreshing actually to meet another princess here and I thought I would be alone here."
"Yeah, well keep having those thoughts as I am not here to be chummy with anyone." Forza turned away, the girl followed closely but was ignored. "Why do you think I will be your friend?"
"I just have a feeling, a good feeling that we will be very close in the future, Ms. Cavaliere." Forza sighed but walked away, this time the young girl was not following. She was near the library and shrugged, she might want to start learning about witch spells.
Opening the doors and looking in she saw a young lady sitting behind the receptionist desk, her hair was short and reddish and her eyes were purple and very friendly. Forza noted how that this woman did not seem to fit here, she was too "friendly". "Hello, can I help you?"
"I am just here to look around," she walked by and eyed the bookcase close to the desk. Simple heal and spirit exorcism stuff, she had learned this off the 'net but this seem to be the beginner section. Stepping through the rows a bit she found some interesting things like ogre control and ghoul summoning before raising a brow at something that caught her eye. It was hidden away between two sleep inducing titles, collecting dust and plain looking with a gold gilded title sitting on the bottom shelf, bending down she pulled it out and read the title more careful.
Taking it over to a reading table she opened to a random page and looking at a drawing of a six women standing in a hexagram position. Underneath of it is marked, six of the twelve deva beast must be used to break the seal. All twelve must be present to seal them away.
"The title is a misnomer." Forza looked over her shoulder to see the receptionist shelving some books away, "they were not really the last coven as the title says but they were the last of the looking glass realm, in a way."
"Looking glass realm?"
"A place that was named after Lewis Carroll's through the looking glass and what Alice found there, when she goes the looking glass into the looking glass house. It was a place that existed that was like the other side, an alter-dimension if you will, but there was some differences. But there was something different, what they were is unknown as the realm is now a wasteland."
"Not to sound like an immature kid but tell me more," Forza was somewhat interested in this story.
"There is not much to tell, something or someone had nearly obliterated all of the residence of this realm and twelve covens were the sole survivors. And that was close to three centuries ago, not much was recorded about the place." the woman smiled as she shifted, "my name is Mirta Janzen."
"Forza Cavaliere," she smiled as they shook hands. "I'm going to seat here for a while waiting for my room to be assigned."
"That's all right." Mirta smiled as she walked down the row putting up several books, "I will see you later."
"Bye." Forza return to the book and flipped through a few pages, interesting read but nothing really useful. She closed the book and headed back into the halls hoping that her room was ready sooner then usual but as she came back to the sign up room and over looking many of the lists she had yet found her name. Going back down to the gates Forza took a seat on the seats as she was trying to think of ways to kill time waiting, she looked up at the sky and wonder what will happen here during her Freshmen year.
