"When it came to the union between Perim and the Fairy Tale kingdom, there was much disagreement between one another since most of the tribes were having their own personal battles with one another while the kingdom had issues with keeping a stable traveling system due to how many fairy tale royalties they were. Fortunately, a comprise could be settled for both worlds and how to settle the complications they have been having, the fairy tale kingdom would allow Perim's young to attend Ever After High to help establish their own path while in return they'd offer their own type of magic to tell the other kingdoms with their transportation and technology they had worked in in Perim. As well allow numerous of its intellectuals attend the school as professor to help educate the youth to help themselves learn about the community and about adolescents of Perim on what they'll destinies will be."
Ever After High-Tartarek's Class of magic and mugic
The next couple of days had come to Ever After High and gossip about Raven's question about not wanting to write in the storybook of legends had already started to go around the school. It was kept secret since nobody wanted to get on the future queen of evil's bad side, though they were lucky Raven wasn't thinking about it that much since the classes were what she wanted to focus on. She was right now attending one of the new classes that opened up after the elders of Perim were able to get jobs at the faculty, students were sitting down and waited for their professor as they didn't see anyone around the board or coming through the doors.
"Does anyone know when professor Tartarek comes in? Class is about to start soon."
Dexter Charming asking as he was curious about when their teacher would be coming in while his brother Chad Charming who was sitting by the side didn't notice as he was focusing on his looks. The class began to mutter about to see if they should leave due to him not coming to class, the one to go forward with the plan was Sparrow hood who leapt out of his desk and landed on a shell styled table that was near the board.
"Let's head on out then my peeps! Cause the morning is ours to rock!"
Encouraging his fellow classmates and doing a solo on his guitar to inspire them to follow him out of the classroom. Though the overworlders held in a laughter for the excitable boy while the other Perim students grumbled since they knew something that Sparrow was about to realize the mistake he made. Underneath his feet, the table that his feet was on began to wobble causing Sparrow to fall on the floor as he saw it being an actual turtle. Seeing a set of limbs and legs coming out, the reptile slowly stood up while having his head emerge as he had a white beard and blue eyes. Yawning from the nap he apparently was having, Tartarek noticed the students surprised at how he was in class the entire time and appeared to look like the furniture in the room.
"Quite the surprise your all here this early. Or maybe it was me that was here early? The carpeting here is quite soft to rest on, I presume it is for you too Mr. Hood."
Looking at the class and to Sparrow which left the guitarist to retreat back to his seat so he didn't get into trouble. With him awake, Tartarek grabbed his staff that was by the floor and began to walk over to the board where he started to write on the board what they'd be learning today. Finishing his writing, he looked over to the students where lesson of today would be about mystical properties of both worlds.
"Would anyone like to tell me the difference between magic and mugic?"
Asking the students if any of them knew about the difference between them other than the word having the same letters but with one replaced. One of the students rose their hands to get noticed as it came from Cedar Wood, daughter of Pinocchio and was considered the most trusting person anyone could meet. The only disadvantage she had was she had to tell the truth no matter what, which revolves her destiny to take up her role from her father that will involve her lying all the time.
"I don't exactly know because the word is similar to magic, but I do know that mugic comes in a form of a hexagon. While magic is when your born from people that have mystical properties."
Explaining her answer while trying to not embarrass herself since it was difficult to make it short due to her truth telling skills. Tartarek smiled at her answer since it was half correct and was enough for the others to understand, turning his shell over to the board he began to write the differences between magic and mugic as well looked over to make sure his students was writing down notes.
"Magic can be inherited of course through the parents, but also can be taught who have the knowledge wield it and do the studies. However for the creatures of Perim, they all have mystical properties. Through mugic artifacts, they can unleash quite the force of nature. Make sure you write this down for future tests."
Informing the class as he pulled out a blue mugic artifact from one of the cabinets in the room. Letting the students take a look at the shape, he took a moment to concentrate on his abilities and placing them into the mugic.
"Geo Flourish!"
Shouting boldly as it began to float in the air which made everyone gaze at the artifact going up to the ceiling before stopping. Looking back at Tartarek, he began to emit a yellow aura around him as it quickly flew upwards and right into the mugic. Glowing brightly, it vanished away as well it going back into the turtle, boosted with its abilities he tapped his staff on the ground to quickly make himself a chair out of trees and rocks as well a table to match the set. This earned him an applause from everyone due to it being easy to use as well amazing to watch, amongst the class someone rose their hands in the air as the turtle Professor looked over to see the student requesting to be answered was Siado. A mipedian stealth artist who was good in recovering recourses for his people and anything that was stolen by the other tribes.
"Yet that's a Overworld mugic. While everyone can use it and them having different properties, they only work for the tribe that represents them."
Pointing out the difference as Tartarek smiled at amusement for him pointing out the difference as it was an attempt to trick them into thinking it was easy. Going over to the board to add in new information, the class thanked the mipedian for quick thinking.
"True. Every mugic that is made works for the tribe that is based off from, more likely that it can be used by a user that represents its element. What I used was represented by the element that I'm known for, Earth. Still, while the word is similar to both lands. They hold great properties that are still being looked into day, such as the new generation of fairy tales."
Complimenting him in figuring out the difference and helping them know that they could still be used if the user represents the element as well tribe it came from. The last part however got to Raven since she knew about the magic she possessed was similar to her mother's, though she didn't know the extent of her abilities rather what she was capable of. With saying that the bell rang declaring the class would be over, the turtle teacher allowed everyone leave as well for them to be ready with a quiz he would hold for the next class. Heading out of the classroom and wanting to study on both subjects of magic, Raven heard a tweeting coming from above her as it was a messenger bird with a note that was written for her.
"Dear Raven, due to the concern nature of your fellow classmates and friends. I wish to meet you in my office."
Reading it as it came from Baba Yaga, the school's witch who helped students with either villainy class or putting curses on people. Confused by what the meaning of the letter was and which of her friends wanted to see her, Raven obliged and followed after the bird as it led her to the office. Heading down the hallways where it began to get dark and eerie, she knew that this was the part of Ever After that taught kids how to be evil in their stories and mischievous to anyone that gets in their way. Arriving right at the office, the messenger bird quickly flew away due to how frightening the office was as it left Raven to enter by herself. Heading into the office she saw Baba Yaga sitting on her pedestal looking at the young woman as well offering a chair for her to sit on.
"Now while it's not normal to call in students for personal meetings. It seems that this was urgent, which is why we're gathered here today to discuss about what's being happening."
Informing her in a concern tone about the ordeal that Raven was going through as well not understand what she was dealing and the people involved. The witch snapped her fingers which opened the curtains to reveal several of her classmates that involved Apple White, Chaor, Maxxor and Madeline Hatter with two other students Raven walked passed by. The girl who was looking at a set of cards was Lizzie Hearts who didn't seem to care, along the side was Wamma. A danian that was confused for him since he didn't know that much about her but was request due to his history serving the queen of his colony. Raven was about to leave since there was misunderstanding but was stopped by Milton Grimm who was by the door and preventing her from leaving.
"Please Raven. Your friends are here to only help with what's been going on lately."
The headmaster explaining to her as Raven had no choice but to sit down in front of everyone and figure out what was going on. Apple decided to go first which left the purple hair girl to silently groan since she might realize what might be the reason for this obscure intervention.
"Recently since we've become roommates. I've noticed several things which got me concern, like when you spilt black ink on my ballgown. You apologized to me even though your supposed to be evil."
Explaining about an accident she did to her dress which she didn't mind since it was supposed to be one of Raven's characteristics. Before she could respond about not being evil, Baba Yaga stopped her since it was her friends that was doing the talking and her just listening. Remaining silent, Chaor decided to go next as he decided to bring up how they first met.
"When we first met, I thought you were like the other scrawny humans. That was until you turned Magmon into statue after he burned your books, that was hilarious. And knew you'd be fun to hang around, but lately you've been careful with your magic and apologizing for everything. It's fine to cause trouble, if you want I'd can do it without even caring."
Bringing up the memories when he met Raven as well offering to help be evil with her which he did by looking over to the headmaster and burning off his tie with a flick of a finger. Panicking at how quickly the tie lite on fire, he kept his cool as it was an example of how being evil was alright for her. While Raven kept to herself and personal thoughts to herself, Madeline looked upset at this meeting as it was making her friend feel uncomfortable.
"I think she's alright as she is. Especially how I thought this was supposed to be a tea party, not to hassle her."
Standing up for her friend since she saw nothing wrong with Raven as well thinking they'd come together for tea. Though it was for her to be here and added her voice to the conversation, only to go wrongly and encourage Raven to be what she is. Next was Lizzie Hearts who only responded with a single movement, which was cutting the head off her card to refer to her as either she'd follow her role of being evil or have her head caught off. It seemed a bit violent as Wamma decided to add his voice to the group since he could try and offer his opinion on what was happening after hearing the other's opinions for Raven.
"In the hive colony, queen Illexia always knows what to do amongst the Mipedians. Especially if the advisors go against it, meaning if you want to do what you want. You should do it."
The ant creature saying his suggestion which was the complete opposite of what the topic was about. This sparked an argument between the group on whether Raven should be herself or trying to be evil, Maxxor was the only one that didn't add his voice in the conversation as he was the only one to notice the purple haired girl to get frustrated with everyone arguing along that no one would listen to her.
"Enough!"
Telling the group to stop talking as she lets out a mystical wave at them which they were lucky enough to dodge. Headmaster Grimm was unlucky as he got caught by the blast, the result was him becoming a chicken which left Raven speechless as she didn't mean to transform him into an animal. Yet he wasn't angry with her but smiled as he glad she did a wicked spell on him.
"Now that's what we're looking for in our future evil queen! With this type of focus you'll be on your way in no time."
Sounding proud of what Raven did while leaving her to get frustrated as she made her way out of the office to be by herself. Being the only one that didn't say anything to her and thinking he could help out, Maxxor asked Baba Yaga that if he'd go to talk to her and try to calm her down before she does it again to someone else. Allowing the overworlder to check up on her, the headmaster however asked the students if they knew how to change him back to normal. Only to earn a laughter from a Madeline since it was karma for deceiving her and making Raven uncomfortable, Chaor laughed as well since he enjoyed seeing Grimm gawking around trying to get one of them to change him back as well thinking Raven would get over this feeling if she used her magic on people that deserved it.
Later-Enchanted Forest
Spending half of the day trying to look for Raven in order to avoid her from using her magic on any students and creatures from Perim. Maxxor was at a lost since there was no sign of her at the school, he decided to travel across the forest to see if she'd be there due to no distractions and anyone to bother her there. He continued the search for while thinking to himself about why he offered to be a part of the meeting, Apple said that she needed his help with a serious matter that involved Raven. He didn't expect it to be an intervention that would convince her to remain evil, apparently it had become serious due to her playing a vital role in Apple's story. Continuing to walk pass the trees, Maxxor didn't notice someone watching him from above the trees as the green skin overworlder stopped for a moment as he felt heard someone breathing softly.
"Terra strike!"
Announcing his attack as he forms a projectile rock and hurl it at the tree's as he heard a grunting sound from it as he heard someone falling out of the branches. Seeing a small creature falling out, Maxxor's instincts kicked in as he quickly caught whoever was spying on him. Landing in his arms, it was one of Chaor's underworlder pals, H'earring. He wasn't frightening or intimidating amongst like the rest but was still talented in keeping out of sight and good for listening to conversations.
"Maxxor. It's a surprise to see you here alone in the forest, as well me to be up in a tree. Keeping an eye out for any meals that have been left out. Got any sandwiches on you?"
Asking nervously at him since he also was easy to intimidate since he didn't fight that much. Though Maxxor could tell from his tone of voice that he wasn't out here looking for a easy meal, hearing some ruffling behind one of the trees and someone hiding behind them. It was Raven might have had H'earring around as a look out if anyone would try to speak with her about her issue with not being evil.
"He's alright H'earring. Unlike half of the people at the school he seems to be the only one that doesn't talk over anyone."
Informing the long eared underworlder as she went to her bag and pulled out a sandwich that she promised him to keep anyone away from her. Excited at the sight of her meal, Raven tossed it in the air for H'earring to leap out of Maxxor's arms to catch it in his mouth. With him having his meal getting the feeling he should leave, H'earring made a break for it as it just the two of them near the open woods with no one to see them.
"Apparently the other tribes could learn about cooperation with an outsider. Or is it because most of them are afraid of you because of your reputation?"
Curious how she could be around the ruler of the underworld without being afraid and having one of its creatures keep an eye out if anyone would look for her. Seeing the curiosity grow on his face, Raven merely rolled her eyes since she thought he was suggesting the reason behind her having strong ties with underworld creatures was because of her evil inheritance.
"No. like Chaor said, I got their respect by turning one of them into a statue. I was afraid at first since I did it by accident, yet they didn't mind since they enjoyed it. At first, they didn't seem that bad and I felt like it was nice hanging out with people that have a bad reputation, but then Chaor learned about my mom and was excited about us being in the same deal in being all bad and tormenting people. But the thing is, I don't want to be evil."
Starting her explanation about how she seemed unfazed by hanging out with underworlders and that Chaor wanted her to be evil in the hopes that eventually form an alliance. What took Maxxor by surprise was Raven stating she didn't want to be evil, since she seemed like someone who'd fit the role of causing trouble for heroes and cursing princesses. He wanted to ask about it but only allowed her to explain her actions on what made her decide to change alignment.
"I'm not fazed or upset about the things that my mother did, it happen. But the fact is that everyone thinks I don't have my own ideas what my destiny will be, especially how I'm still trying to look for it. The only one who understands it is Maddie, but you know her. She's mad, so no one can take her seriously."
Expressing an interest in finding her own story than following in the footsteps of her mother to become the next evil queen. Though no one took her seriously since it seemed it was hellbent that she'd be like her mom from the people who suggested she stayed on the path. While it wasn't his place to say anything about her destiny, his was to question since he didn't feel sure about it.
"Maybe because you haven't met someone that didn't agree with their own story."
Maxxor claiming to know the feeling of not wanting to do something people think he'll be right for. It caught Raven by surprise since she heard about him being the new leader of the overworlders, he'd have everyone looking up to him and that of the trust of creatures he barely knew. Though the look on his face showed otherwise about his role in being selected as the new leader.
"Before this whole 'partnership' our worlds worked and us working together to keep everything going. I mostly planned on exploring Perim and its secrets, especially here since there many stories here. But our wizard Najarin saw that I seemed best chosen, I don't get it myself. I don't even look like a leader, right?"
Informing her about his plans for the future and that he didn't seem to fit the role as a ruler and more of an adventurer. Raven couldn't help but chuckle since he seemed to have an open personality, though it had seemed his destiny was clear even before the book could confirm it.
"Well the year just started and I already caused panic in the school. Guess will have to see what happens on paths then."
Acknowledging that the school year had begun and she's made people guess about their destinies. Though for Maxxor it seemed there weren't that many since most of the overworlders seemed alright with their stories, yet it was because of the conflict they and the other tribes had back in Perim. He decided to let Raven have her peace in the forest before heading back to Ever After High and continue to hear about her accepting being the next big bad for the kingdom.
Later-Cafeteria
During the afternoon and classes getting wrapped up, the students headed to the mess hall where they decided to meet with each other as well make friendships. Or start feuds since most of the Perim body was still tense due to the issues happening within there home. It was starting right now between Odu-Bathax and Mudeenu as there was an issue between them getting the last pie.
"It's just like you and rest of your lizards to wait for the right moment to take the best meals. Let me guess, have several mipedians turned invisible waiting an ambush?"
Odu blaming the prince as he was going for one of the pie's that had recently been made by Jack Horner, a famous chef critic as well baker who wanted to offer his latest creation to the new year students of Ever After High. The horned boy merely scoffs at the four-armed insects' accusation since it was his fault for just noticing the last slice of pie.
"If you didn't focus talking with the others about what sports the danians are good at, you'd notice the last blueberry pie. Also, I don't need any help handling an army raised ant."
Responding to his accusation as the lizard ate the pie in one bite which resulted in Odu-Bathax to growl raise both arms preparing to fight him and Mudeenu to defend himself. It was briefly interrupted by a bright light that blinded the two causing both creatures to stop any hostility, it came from Chad Charming due to story was to become the kingdom's greatest hero and princesses heart throb whenever they gazed upon him.
"Now come on my friends. It's the first week and we're going at each other like dragons, I know royalty like yourselves wouldn't want to ruin your clothes."
Insisting that fighting would make a bad impression for their tribes and that they were the noticeable ones that everyone noticed. Odu-Bathax kept silent as he grabbed four water bottles to mess with Medeenu as the lizard walked away seeing how he still won due to him eating the pie. While Chad smiled at handling the problem in a brave manner, on the side was someone recording the scene as it was Blondie Lockes. Who was broadcasting it for her fans on her blog 'Just Right' for the kingdom and new viewers that recently began to follower her.
"While it seems that things are perfectly right at Ever After High, trouble starts stirring up. Though it's not new to Perim kids to start fighting because of their feud back home, but it might be because of the recent questioning of one Raven Queen. Tune in soon to see if this mystery question will cause trouble or everyone and start to ask, 'should we take a look into our stories'?"
Talking about how the children of Perim had have a rivalry of tribes amongst one another due to past and it starting up again. Especially that the new conflict will resolve around people's questioning about their stories due to them either being something they desired to be or having force to do it. Looking at her recording and what she'd title it, Blondie was able to figure out and have it grab the attention of her viewers. 'Royals vs Rebels: Peril of Choice and Fate', with that settled and uploading the video. She couldn't wait to see what could happen over the next few days and see who'd be on which side of the groups.
