Hey guys ... We meet again. Finally, I can write a story with a background not the Earth, but on Lyonesse, like the title of this story. I'm sorry if I described the background of this planet exactly like Earth, because I do not have good ideas.
All right, let's go directly to the story. Happy reading.
My name is Jewel. My friend and I are stranded on this planet, or is called Lyonesse after we were sucked by a wormhole. We be found and cared for by the Yellow Macaw family. A daughter, Martha is a bird that have found us, and her mother named Virginia, and her father named Oswald. And today, the first day we active on this planet, and we will go to school for the first time on this planet.
Chapter 6: The First Day on Lyonesse
The bright star and it looks like the sun, rising in the east and enlighten a city with skyscrapers towered into the sky. The city was on a planet called Lyonesse, where Blu and Jewel will start their new life on this planet. They live in a modest two-story house, not far from town.
"Blu." Jewel shook his body, and she tried to wake him, "Come on, Blu. It looks like the sun on this planet rises earlier."
Blu begun to pick up and open his eyes, but he suddenly shocked because he see Jewel in front of him, "What the!," Blu startled, then he started rubbing his eyes, "Ah, it's you, Jewel. You almost got me a heart attack."
Jewel chuckled, "Good morning, sleepyhead." She said with a smile.
"Good morning." Blu yawn, "It looks like already morning, but still 6 o'clock." He look at a wall clock.
"Have you forgotten?" Jewel said, "It's not the earth, we are on Lyonesse. And hurry up, we have breakfast together. Aunt Virginia and Martha already waiting us in the dining room."
Blu remember it, "Ah yes, you're right. Okay, let's go." And they both, walking down and headed to the dining room.
In the dining room, Martha and her mother having breakfast with a piece of bread on their wings, "Hey Blu, Jewel. Good morning." Martha greets.
"Good morning, you two." Virginia greets well.
"Good morning." Blu and Jewel replied in unison, then Jewel said, "Auntie, where Uncle Oswald?"
"Oh, he's already gone to work. Today there is an important meeting, so he leave early." Virginia answered with a smile,"Let's we have breakfast together. "
"Okay, thank you." Blu said, and he and Jewel sat in a chair and enjoy breakfast together with Martha and her mother.
Amid the breakfast, Virginia say to Blu and Jewel, "Today is your first day of school on Lyonesse."
At these words, Blu and Jewel surprised, "School?" They asked in unison.
"Yes, you and I will go to school, where I go to school." Martha said with a beak full of bread, then she swallowed it and went on to say, "Do not worry, I'll help you. Like a guide, I will introduce a lot of things on this planet, or rather Lyonesse. "
Blu and Jewel smiling, they seem a bit nervous because they will go to school on an alien planet, "Well, I also want to know what there is on this planet." Blu said.
"Yeah, me too." Jewel added.
"Perfect!" Virginia said with a smile, "After breakfast, you can clean your feathers and get ready for school. Martha will accompany you." Then, she took the dirty plates and glasses into the kitchen sink
After they washed their feathers, or in other words take a bath. They are preparing to go to school. Blu and Jewel are given two duffel bags that was once used by Martha's parents while still in school.
"You can use these backpack," Martha said, "This is my parents's bag, which was used by them when they still school."
"Okay, thank you." Blu and Jewel said in unison.
"You're welcome." Martha replied, then she said goodbye to her mother, "Mom, we leave."
"Okay. Have a nice day." Virginia replied.
Blu, Jewel and Martha finally going to school. Martha opened the door and they can see a star like the sun, shining on the housing where they live. Blu and Jewel stepped out and they are getting ready to undergo their activity on Lyonesse.
Martha and her family, lived in a two-story house, on a residential complex, a few tens miles away from a city with skyscrapers, called Agharti City.
"Agharti City." Martha said, when Blu and Jewel looked at the city, "It is a city that is being seen by you. A famous metropolis on this planet. Many things can be done there, culinary, technology, tourism, education and many more."
"That city is so wonderful." Jewel said in amazement, "Although we are within tens of miles, it was still visible."
"Yeah, I know." Martha replied with a disappointed look on her face, "But once you know how things are there, you will definitely attract your words."
"What do you mean?" Blu asked, confused.
"Agharti City is arguably the city's most beautiful and modern," Martha explains, "That's what people say when they first saw it. But you know, it's very dangerous city, so full of criminals. Although there are quite strict security and many police guard, but it's still not enough. Still safer here." Blu and Jewel looked at each other, they do not know what to say, because they are foreigners on this planet.
They walked through a sidewalk that is not too wide. They walked down a street full of intersections, lucky Martha as a guide, show the way. They are walking, talking, and Martha tells about this planet. They arrived at an intersection with traffic lights. They stopped at the corner, waiting for the traffic light turns red and all the cars stopped. And they crossed the street, and mingle with people who are also on their way to work or school. The atmosphere is very similar to the earth, so that people do not realize that in the midst of them there are two alien birds who comes from the earth. Likewise, Blu and Jewel, they do not feel inferior, because it looks like a bird society in general.
"Okay." Martha said, when they have crossed the road and walk a few meters again, "We arrived. Welcome to my school, or the called Guivick School."
Martha shows a very large and tall building, like a skyscraper. And in fact, it is a school building, Blu and Jewel are standing in front of it, "Wow ... What is it your school, Martha?" Blu asked in amazement, as he saw the school building.
"How many students here?" Add Jewel.
Martha chuckled and slightly swagger herself, "This is my school where I go to school and wholly there are 20 floors in this school. Although this looks great school, but the school is not too big and only accommodate 100 pupils on each floor, so in total there are 2,000 students at this school."
Guivick School right in the center of residential, and sticking out between the humble houses in the vicinity. The school is fenced by a wall that surrounds it and there are spacious yard in front of the school. In addition to the school building, there is a more building, but smaller, and used as a library with a collection of the most complete books on this planet.
"Well, let's go in." Martha said, and they began to step into the school yard and see a lot of birds who walked into the school building, and it looks like they are a student here.
"Good morning, Martha." There was a voice from behind them, and two female birds walked up to them, and their names are known to Carolyn and Baily, "You're early." Baily said. Then, she look at Blu and Jewel are unfamiliar to them, "Ah, I've never seen you before."
"Yes, of course. Because we are a new student here." Jewel answered somewhat nervously.
"Yes, Baily." Martha replied, "They are a transfer student from neighboring country."
"I understand." Carolyn said, "So, where did you come from?" she asked curiously.
Blu and Jewel looked confused to answer her question, lucky Martha helped them answered, "Come on, they just come and it looks like they need to adapt. Besides, I just met with them when I went to school." Martha apparently trying to protect their true identity.
"Okay," Carolyn and Baily replied in unison, and they walked together into the school building, after meeting with Blu and Jewel. Martha told Blu and Jewel that they are students of neighbor class.
"Well." Martha exclaimed, "Let's go into the school, even though school hours starting 30 minutes again."
And they walked together into the school building. 20-storey building and a width of about several meters, enough to place the students in the neighborhood school. Guivick School is just like school on earth, there are classes, a gym, a cooking space, and others. Only this school like office buildings than similar schools, and at this school is numerous elevator.
"So," Martha said when they have entered, "At this school, we begin to learn from the first floor and there will be a test once a year to move up to the next floor." Then, they get into the elevator, "And I've been on the 16th floor, just like you."
Blu and Jewel confusion and looked at each other, "You mean, we are classmate with you? On the 16th floor?" Blu asked.
"Exactly." Martha replied, and then they get into the elevator. But, suddenly Blu pull her out.
"Watch out!" Blu exclaimed, "I think this elevator was broken." He pointed into the elevator, but strangely it does not contain anything.
Martha laughed, "Do not worry, Blu." Martha said, "This is entirely glass-walled elevator. Although this is glass, but it is a mixture of white lead, white gold, silver, iron, and of course glass."
"What!" Shouted Blu astonishment, "How can mix it makes transparent solids such as glass?"
"I have no idea. However, we called it Celestial." Martha replied with a smile. Blu understand and they get into the elevator.
After a few minutes they are in the elevator, they finally reached the 16th floor and when the elevator doors opened, they are could see a long and wide hallway in front of them. Throughout the hall, on the edges there is doors that read, '16 -A to 16-J '. So, in every class there are only 10 pupils, and along the hallway there is a row of school lockers used by the students to put their stuff. The rest, there is sport room, staff room, canteen, toilets, even a swimming pool on this floor.
"Very complete, is not it?" Martha said, as she walked to their class, "We have complete facilities here." After walking a few meters ahead and then turn right and walk a little longer, they reached the classroom.
"16-J. So, this is our class?" Jewel asked, then she saw Martha with a rather strange expression on her face, like she see something,"Ah, Martha?" Jewel called her again.
Martha was surprised and she promptly replied, "Ah yes, yes. Right, this is our class."
Suddenly, they heard the sound of cries for help from their side and it turns out, there are two hawks and a scarlet macaw. The hawks is shown being blackmailing to the macaw, and he looked frightened and helpless in front of the hawks.
"If you shouted again, you're no longer losing money." One of the hawks said, and then he lifted the macaw and slammed him into a locker wall.
"Come on guys, I have nothing." The macaw said with fear.
"You're lying, Arthur." Barney said, and the macaw named Arthur. Then, Barney lifted him and shook him.
"Hey ... !" Blu shouted at them, "Let him go. He already said did not have anything, isn't it? You've hurt him." He walked toward the hawks.
"Who are you, blue boy?" Barney's friend identified as Cyrus, replied.
"Calm down, Cyrus." Then, Barney put Arthur into a locker forcibly and locked him inside, "There seems to be interfering." Barney said with a wicked smile, and then he glanced at Blu, "Listen, blue boy. I do not know who you are, and it seems like you're a new student here. I warn you, do not interfere our business. Because you are a new student, I will not hurt you."
"Well, if so, let him go first." Blu pointed to a locker, where Arthur was.
"Stubborn!" Shouted Cyrus, then he running toward Blu and get ready to punch him.
Lucky the school bell rang and Barney shouted, "Cyrus! Stop. Anyway, there is no point beat him."
Then, Cyrus returned to next to Barney, "You are lucky this time blue boy." Cyrus said with a wicked smile.
"Forgive me about our lack of politeness." Barney said, "Anyway, I say welcome to Guivick School." Then, Cyrus and he smiled wickedly and walked to their classes. Then, Barney stopped, "Oh yes, if you want to save him, you should know what my password." Barney evil smile, "There are two ways to get it. First, use your fortune. Or Second, face me." Then, Barney and Cyrus evil laugh and walked back. Blu was silent, staring at them. Then he let out a long breath, signaling a relief.
Then Martha and Jewel, approached Blu, "You're lucky Blu." Martha said, "Usually, the birds are meddling in their affairs will be battered."
"You okay, Blu." Jewel said with worry.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Blu said, and then he approached a locker, where Arthur was, "I think to be worried is him." Blu peered through a crack lockers, and shouts calling, "Hello ... Are you okay?"
Blu peered through a tiny gap and he can not see anything, the only sound he heard is a voice filled with fear, "What do you want from me?" Arthur said with a tone of fear.
"Don't worry, I'll help you." Blu answered with a smile.
"Forget me!" Arthur exclaimed, "I'm used to do like this. You just leave me alone because soon, your teacher will come. "
"Never!" Blu shouted, "I will never leave you alone. Although I do not know who are you, but I hate to see people who are bullied." Blu smiled and Arthur can see his smile from inside the locker which dark,"Because I know how it felt." Blu went on to say.
After Arthur heard him, he smiled, "As long as I live in the community, I have never been cared by someone like this." He said in his mind, "Is he..."
"Hold on!" Blu exclaimed, "I will try to find a way to get you out." Blu silent for a moment and closed his eyes, then he slowly opened the door of the locker.
"Impossible, Blu." Martha said, "The locker was made of mineral Ashpy, the hardest substance on this planet."
"I did it!" Blu shouted in excitement, and turned out right, he managed to open the locker door with ease. The door looks a little crooked with broken metal pieces.

Huh? What is really happening? and What have Blu done? This is their first day on Lyonesse and strange things was happening. Then, strange things what else will they do? If you're curious, wait for the next chapter.
Well, I know. The eagle, scarlet macaw, indeed I describe the background of Lyonesse just like on earth and have not seen anything different, and I apologize for that. And as you can see, I do not have enough ideas or imagination for a background on other planets. Therefore, if you have any suggestions or ideas that can help me, I really appreciate it, you can PM me or write it in the review. I'm sure, if it is already running several chapters, the difference will be seen, even though perhaps not great.
I thank those of you who have read this chapter. Do not forget to leave a review if possible. See you next time.
