Day 2

The Absent Student

I woke with Crystal next to me…she probably had a nightmare or something…but as I got up Draganta had already been up. He had his back turned as he held something in his hands. It looked like a map…I walked closer to see what it was. I saw words on it. It had said something strange, "The mage from apart us will return, thou bring peace, or shall darkness devour our worlds into death. With out the light our worlds bring, he will claim to be, 'The Shadow Prince'. If thou our worlds bring light, he will claim to be, 'The Light Prince'. So much he would offer to us, let him be, if he chooses to share his knowledge with us, be prepared, thou he may look weak. His spirit is stronger than our strength combined. Our hearts can defeat him, thou even one spec of darkness can over through us all! So be prepared…thou he is much more then you can imagine, he is…and will be…the lost soul…"

"I don't get it…" Draganta said to him self, "What does it mean!?"

"I understand it…" I said as Draganta was surprised to see me.

"Oh, Diamond it's only you, I didn't hear you get up…"

"That's alright! So, what is that map for?"

"Oh, right, well it's something I need to talk to Moises about, wake up your sis, schools going to start."

"Right…" I said as I walked over to Crystal. I nudged as she woke up.

"Is it morning?" She yawned,

"Yeah, we need to get ready, schools going to start…"

"Right…in a few minutes…" Crystal yawned again as she fell back to sleep. I picked up my magic book and read through it as I found what I was looking for. I concentrated and said, "Kikifla!" I yelled as a splash of water fell on Crystal.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Crystal growled,

"I needed a way to wake you up…"

"GIVE ME THAT!" She said as she took my magic book, "Oh yeah, FLAGA!" She yelled as a huge blow of fire blew on her.

"Well at least you're dry…"

"Grrr! Can we just go already!?"

"What do you think I've been waiting for!?" I said as Crystal got ready.

"Bye Uncle Draganta!" Crystal called out as we ran off.

"I'm not your uncle!" Draganta said as he waved bye. Me and Crystal had made it to the front of the school. Luckily we made it before school started. We walked inside and into our classrooms. Then I noticed a girl I didn't see yesterday. She had a mixture of light blue and white scales. She had a very light blue underbelly and white horns with white spikes. Crystal and I sat in our seats as Mrs. Din had announced something. "Alright, looks like everyone's here today! Light, I want you to meet our new students from yesterday." She said as she looked at the girl I saw. Mrs. Din pointed to Crystal who sat next Light. "Hiya, the names Crystal" Crystal said, "Hello," Light said back. Then she pointed to me. "I'm Diamond, Crystal's sister…" I said,

"O-oh, hello…" She said as she looked down.

"I wonder what's wrong with her." Crystal whispered to me.

"I don't know…" I replied.

"Well," Mrs. Din started, "Let's get back to those drawings!"

12 minutes later

"Ok, now let's see yours Crystal" Mrs. Din said. Crystal got up and stood in front of the class.

"Well, I drew Moises the dragon. It looks a little weird kind of, but if you can see closely, you can tell that his scales are almost black." She said.

"Wonderful," Mrs. Din said, "Have you met Moises?"

"Yeah, my daddy is friends with Moises!"

"Well, that's super! Now, let's see Diamonds!" Mrs. Din said. I got up as I got up in front of the class. It had a picture of Moises, almost a look alike! But it also had Blizzard with glowing red eyes, and Molten. Even though Diamond had never seen Molten, he drew him the same way! Mrs. Din was surprised to see my picture. "Why…Diamond…this…how did…" She stuttered, "This…this is amazing! I mean you're only six and…you can do all this!?"

"Thank you Mrs. Din, Moises had taught me how to draw. Since I want to be a mage, I have to learn how to draw each original symbol…" I said.

"A mage? Moises? Diamond…may I…hold on to this for you for a while. Just till tomorrow…"

"Sure…" I said as I gave it to her and walked back to my seat.

"Well, how about we all start on our project? Everyone pair up, I'll be right back…" Mrs. Din said as she left the class room with the picture still her hand. When she closed the door, all of the other dragons started yelling as they trembled us.

5 minutes later…

Mrs. Din had walked back into the class all of the dragons had went back to there desks with there partners. Crystal and I stood dizzy in the middle of the class room. "CRYSTAL! COME ON!" Jamie said as she grabbed Crystal's arm and pulled her to her desk. I shook of the dizziness as I closed my eyes for it all to stop. I opened them again to see, Light looking at me.

"Well, it looks like where the two left…" I sighed. I got up and headed to her desk.

"Ok, since you all got your partners, let's begin! We'll be doing once again chemistry. Remember, if any one of you fools around, we won't be doing anything for the whole time until recess!"

"Yes Mrs. Din!" The whole class said.

"Alright, I'll be passing around 3 different types of chemicals. Be very gentle, last year, two boys had combined two wrong formulas and almost destroyed this class!" She said as she had a lab coat on and goggles. She then gave me and Light, a red chemical, a blue chemical, and a green one.

"Uhh, so, you're new here huh?" Light said.

"Yeah," I replied

"Why do you want to become a mage?" She asked,

"After seeing Moises magic, it interested me so. I asked if I could have lessons and he agreed. Later on, I felt as if it was my dream! And now, I want to become a mage, just like—" I paused for a moment…

"Just like who…?"

"No one…" I sighed.

She only looked at me as Mrs. Din called everyone. I paid attention as Mrs. Din explained the chemicals.

"All right, as you can see, I told you that a blue and red mixture of colors can make, 'Purple'. So let's do that now…" She said grabbing the red and blue chemicals. I grabbed the red one as Light got the blue one. I pored mine into the red one since hers had less. "Now you can see that it's changing color!"

"And then do we pore the green one?" One boy asked as he pored the green chemical.

"NO JUSTIN!" Mrs. Din yelled as the chemical began to vibrate and explode. Now everyone was in complete slime. But not everyone where me and Light sat, I had summoned a small force field to protect me and Light.

"I think you were supposed to shake the two chemicals…" I said as I shut off the force field.

"Yes, you were suppose to!" Mrs. Din glared at Justin.

"Thanks," Light thanked Diamond.

"No problem…" I said back.

"Well, since Justin ruined the project, I guess we'll be having extra time for recess…" Mrs. Din sighed as everyone cheered. "All of you may go…" She said. Everyone had left cheering Justin. I walked out side as Light followed me.

"Don't tell me you're also a follower…" Diamond asked,

"No, I'm not like them, what do you do during recess?"

"I only read my book and practice my magic…"

"Cool, mind if I join you?"

"Why not, it's better then being trembled on…" I laughed.

"Yeah, it's also better then being picked on!" She laughed; I stopped laughing as I hear what she said. She looked at me as she stopped laughing.

"You've been picked on?" I asked,

"Yeah, but you get used to it…well…not really…"

"Why do they pick on you?"

"I don't know, they say it's because of how I look…some say it's because how I act…and others…well…some think I'm just weird…" She said with a sadden tone in her voice.

"Don't you ever feel bad for that letting it happen to you with out getting back at them?"

"No, my parents told me that revenge is a bad habit…they want me to be good, and clean…"

"I see, my parents just want me to be good and stay away from harm…"

"Almost like mine…except my parents don't want me to hang out with cruel some boys…they say if I do, I'd be grounded for all eternity!"

"Harsh…"

"Yeah well, I don't like cruel some boys either, so I guess its fine with me…"

"Yeah, I don't like girls who are always chasing after you and stuff…"

"So, where do you practice?"

"Just over that hill," I said as I pointed to a hill from my right. There stood a small tree with little shade, but over it was a small pond.

"Why do you practice there?"

"I don't know it's peaceful there…"

"It's not peaceful when Jenny's there…"

"Who's Jenny?"

"You know, Jenny…bully?" I shook me head as a no. "Well, she's one rotten dragon. They say she's as Swamp, even though no one has seen him in over ages!"

"Yeah, but I thought Swamp returned?"

"Nope, everyone says he's still out there…"

"Why is she so bad?"

"I don't know…I think she got it from her father…but that can't be because she doesn't have a dad…"

"It must be sad…"

"Yeah, well…you going still or what?" She asked,

"Yeah, let's go!" I said as I ran over the hill and rolled down with my spike ball move. But when I got to the small pond, something looked strange to me…something scary…but mostly…something there had made me even scared…with my own eyes, seeing that Jenny was there with her friend, but her eyes, her looks, it looked so familiar…but I just couldn't understand who it was she looked similar to…that's when it hit me…that she looks like—
