This story is the sequel to Lost in Love and is the second in a series of stories charting the romance and adventures of Musa and her new boyfriend Tegryn. Enjoy!
It was a typical springtime Monday morning - Alfea basked in the early sun as it gently warmed up the last dregs of night air. Bloom, Flora, Stella, Tecna and Layla were half-asleepily tucking into their breakfast and getting themselves ready for another day of study, when suddenly Musa and Tegryn burst in.
"Hey guys, have we got some wicked news for you!" gasped Musa, out of breath.
"Oh yes? What is it?"
Musa giggled. "Go on Teggy, show them!"
Tegryn held out a letter - Bloom took it and read it out loud.
To: Tegryn Devanallt
After much deliberation, the board of Alfea School for Fairies has decided to accept you as a new student - this letter is our formal notification of your admission into the Junior grade.
With regards to your request for extra-curricular personal tuition, I have decided this would indeed be the best way to fully develop your powers and to catch up with your new classmates. Given this, along with the fact that you would be the only male student, it has been decided that it would be most appropriate for you to board within the teacher's quarters - I have arranged for a single room to be made ready for you as soon as possible.
I look forward to working with you, and I have every faith that you will rise to the challenge.
May Alfea teach you well.
Ms. Faragonda
Principal, Alfea School for Fairies.
The girls gave a collective excited scream.
"So you're staying here for good? That is SO cool!" said Flora happily.
"Yes, welcome aboard! Just don't think you can get us to help you with your homework - you'll have to do all that yourself!" added Tecna. "The teachers here can spot cheating a mile off!"
"Heh" Tegryn chuckled. "Griselda's already warned me about that... and something tells me I don't want to get on her wrong side!"
"Well there's the understatement of the year," quipped Stella. "Say, have you had any breakfast?"
"Oh, yes thanks, I ate hours ago." he yawned. "I didn't get much sleep last night, so I got up early. In fact, I haven't been sleeping well at all lately."
"Oh" said Musa with a concerned look on her face. "Is anything the matter?"
"No, no. I'm sure it's nothing much - nothing for you to worry about anyway" he replied rather unconvincingly. "Maybe I'm just a bit nervous, what with this being my first day and all."
"Aw come on, what's there to be nervous about? I'm sure you'll get on fine!"
"It's not the lessons I'm worried about - it's this!"
Tegryn reached into his pocket and pulled out a floor plan of the castle.
"Aaaah, I see," said Musa as she guessed what he was referring to - his sense of direction was still as bad as ever. "It looks like I'd better walk you to your first class - we wouldn't want you getting lost now, would we?"
