We're finally in chapter 2 for Alencia Academy. This is where the school's actual story begins. I'll start the story when I figure out how I'm gonna write this. I'll see you when it starts.
All right, we're here now in the story called Alencia Academy, a school story of Alencia. I never thought how I was gonna write this, but this wasn't easy work. I think I have this like I said look at Chapter 1 for the previous clicks and placement of these characters and most of them will be close to the same age as I said.
So here is Alencia Academy.
Oh, and the school is located in the center of Valencia
It makes it easier for everyone to get there.
So let's get started.
We'll get to know most of all the main kid characters that are going to school in this chapter as they get ready to go to school we will watch their routines as they get ready for each day.
I'm not separating each chapter for each kid's dedication I know that would take too long probably and we get into the school antics.
Maybe I should just put it all in this one chapter. I think that'll work. I'm just trying to figure out who I wanna start with.
And since Riley is the picture on the front of the story, I guess I'll start with Riley.
OK, we start with Riley
Arthur's note
I got Oliver and Alistair's ages swapped AC will be 16 and Oliver will be 17. the personalities and things will stay the same.
end of authors, note
Riley
I was excited this was the first time I was going to school without royal tutors.
Riley my sister Annelise was coming too. I was happy that she was coming to the two princesses together starting school together. This was the first time the others had been to school, but I and Annalise never had our older brother Jack also go to this Alia Academy before, and he always teased us about it like that we would not be the most popular girls there and no one would wanna hang out with us he would tease us both our mothers told Jack to cut it off my mother, Olivia and Annalise's mother who is unknown tease didn't tell Jacal to cut it off cut it out even though you are our half brother.
You always liked to bully us all the time and he always got appraisal from his father to do so father was abusive. Yes, he was a good king. I guess at times, he was abusive. He was abusive to our mothers and abusive to us. We had chores and things like that were fine, but we were always being abused by our father, and had it worse than I know because she was Gothic or anything. After all, he says that she wasn't there and she was someone else's kid I stood by Annelise don't worry, Annelise this will not be like when you were locked away in that tower room. I said you didn't get to have as many royal tutors as I did. I'm just nervous. I heard my sister say that we shared a room now because Mother fought for her to be in a room with me, and let her be out of that tower out of that little room that all she knew, and have her live with me in my room and we shared one.
Did Father beat you again? I asked Annalise not at her head. Yes, Father beat me beat me again. He doesn't like that. I'm out of that tower. He thinks I'm a monster. You're not a monster Annelise. You need to not be locked away. Besides, you're my sister, she agreed with that, you're my sister Riley that's right I'm your sister I said, and I care for you, Annelise.
Then I told my brother to leave us and said sure fine I'll leave. And he did we finished up getting ready for the day.
I put on one of my favorite outfits. The show that I was girly but the country in my roots and in some way, even though I was never born as a country girl that's pretty Annelise said to me thanks Annelise you always look stunning Riley, even though I'm not big on your girly look country girly look I still think you look beautiful will be the two most beautiful 15-year-old in school. Are you trying to impress anyone and asked no I said not really who would I impress?
Well, there are the two sets of twins that'll be joining our school. They've been going there a while already and Elise told me what do you mean? Well, there's the Timecrest twins for one are the twins. We don't know which ones they're gonna be I can't remember I think they're the Timecrest. They change their name to that I think because it's cool because that's their grandfather's last name, and then there are the other twins or there are three sets of twins that go out that go into the school but you need to stay away from Mary and Hector. I heard they're bad. What do you mean? I asked.
I mean they're bullies said Annalise people would think we're twins I said no we're not twins Annalise we don't share the same mother and we might not even share the same family at all. I don't know, but I feel like I'm not even part of this family. Of course, you're part of this family I said, reassuring her.
But anyway, I heard her continue saying just stay away from them. They're bad people. They're the daughters of Master Porsche Del Rose how many men has Master Porsche had several I heard said Annelise she said, several children.
There was Marilyn Hegner, but she also had a care. She had a daughter named Elise. I think she's still alive. They want to kill her though why because she's sickly I heard, but I don't think Porsha will let them kill their other sister. I've tried though. That is cruel yeah I know.
Who else has Porsche had his children? I wondered I don't know. Annelise said, that she does have an orphanage full of children but they're not biological children to her said at least Annelise to me, but I think a lot of them will be coming to the school though so we can meet a lot of new people. Where is the school located? I asked Merchant City Orem if we have to take the train to go there that makes sense.
Do you know who else gonna be attending the school? I asked Annalise no said I had no idea who else would be there, but some people had been going there for at least a few years already they'd make fun of us. You're probably right because we're homeschooled mostly we had tutors for a long time and now we don't have tutors. We get to go to normal high school like all other kids, which is more exciting.
Breakfast I earned my mother says coming.
Coming mother, I said, as I guided Annalise not because she was blind but because she was taking a while. I'll be there in a minute. She says finishing up her makeup. You don't need all that. I said she was putting on her eyeliner. I'll be there in a minute, she said.
I could tell she was wearing a normal outfit. Annelise was dressed like it was a stylish pink shirt with a yellow X in the center it looked great.
And I wore a few sundresses with cute cloud patterns and strong wedge sandals, a little more simple than Annelise it looked like we wanted to make a good impression on all our new teachers and friends that will be making.
I mean, this is our first year at Valencia Academy after all your impressions are everything right?
I sat down at the table, and Annelise came in next.
We sat down and ate a good breakfast and now we just had to wait for the train. We had to walk to the station to take the train and that's what we did.
Annelise
Riley was the first one to the table to eat because I had to finish getting dressed. Do you want me up after her when I finally came out and ate breakfast it was time to get ready to leave.
My sister can be bossy sometimes, but I love her time to go. I heard the queen say come on Annalise.
We don't wanna miss the train now. Do we? I shook my head now we don't want to miss the train. All right let's go then.
We got on the train and finally a ride and we took the train to where the school was but first we had other stops to make our lovely kingdom wasn't the only place where we had to pick up kids.
We had to pick up kids and other places too.
Our next stop was Crane Mansion.
I told Riley that is where the Crane siblings live. How do you know? I've visited there before when you were still locked away she said I met Oliver. He's not that nice but his younger sibling is pretty nice though.
Oh really yeah even though he can be kinda grumpy and rude. He's a lot nicer than his older brother who is 17 how does the younger brother I asked Riley since she knew all about them i visited the mansion. She said it'll be your first time meeting them like I said Crane is 17 and his younger brother Alistair or AC is 16.
OK, I was prepared now. I'll have to see how this would be. Well, we'll be making plenty of stops until we make it to the school. I guess we're going to the mansion because it's the closest stop to the kingdom. The closest stop to Volder. Well, that's OK then.
We were the first stop because that's where the train stopped first.
Now we were headed to Crane mansion in Paradise Falls. Riley told me all about the place she used to go there too. Other kids were living around this area that they picked up as well before we made it to Crane mansion.
Of course, cause other small towns along this way were traded rid of Volder so we stopped at the first we picked up some of the teenage kids who went to school at our school in Lyle. I didn't know any of them. Riley didn't know very many of them either.
After we picked them up, we went around the corner and picked up some other kids that were in this area of Reverend of ever and there is a girl named Allison, who got on our butt on our train as well. She is very energetic too very nice to everyone. She was about 16 years old.
Choose in our class, our grade or not our class in grade, but she was in the group above us, which was fine too. We were 15. We were in the class of 15-year-olds.
Were completely first-year students that was fine. Riley and I didn't care to be first-year students. Allison was a second year. Second-year student.
Allison
Mom told me to hurry up or I'd be late or I'd miss the train. I was finishing up getting ready. I was excited it was the first day of school. I always love this day. We get to take the train to our boarding school Valencia Academy, the school is boarding school because there'd be no way we could stay here and travel back and forth like we do unless we live in Orem itself, but most of us stayed on campus so we had to be packed it's like guilds except we're not going to a guild. We're going to school. They said we can go to a guild after we graduate. That will be nice so we can learn magic then.
Or we can go to university not sure what I wanna do yet being a second-year student. I still have some time to think about it but I know that this year they're gonna tell us you should pick what you're gonna do when you go to Valencia University next, I don't know yet. I thought about it in my head. I want to be a mage and become a master. The masters were on the council. We've always been there or other processions. I don't know.
Our family lived in one of the trading towns around Volder near the outskirts so we were one of the first towns that we would be stopping at for the train to pick us up. There are a lot of other kids in this area too. They got on with me, I went to find my place to sit, I asked if we were having a boarding school this year the driver on the train said the conductor said yes no not this year so let me use a train. Will have to make these stops every day the driver said yes I wish we could make it easier.
But mostly a boarding school for all of you. It would be an easy commute for those who live closer to the school the conductor said.
Well, I said that last year this year was new. This was a new year. I packed my things. I hope that the other kids did too. I know they're not thinking that they're gonna be coming back to their homes. I know the history of our school too. Alencia Academy is one of the best schools in all of Alencia. It's also a boarding school. Only the best can go to the school too not everyone in Valencia. I can go, but they try to open it to everyone now dormitories for the boys and girls And all that good stuff it was a public school, but it was a boarding school at the same time public meeting. It was open to everyone to attend, and anyone can attend.
I know the year it was 1014 MG magic was discovered. We just don't use it much our founders' first mages Ezra and Alvin Timecrest, who were the first humans want us to not just on our magical skills, but also our intellect and to not everyone or cut out to be mages or be masters to handle that responsibility to keep her school and good health or in good shape or whatever.
I went to sit with my other good friends Zoe Zoe, and Valerie Val. I went to sit with her. She was the lieutenant's daughter. She said she wanted to try and become part of the army one day. She was 15. She was new and I became friends with her when I visited the kingdom. I saw her when she was 14. She was a first year.
She's also good friends with Riley the princess so we went and sat in the same group with her and Annalise, even though we weren't supposed to move seats we did anyway because we wanted to sit with our friends.
As long as we didn't move cars, we were good this was the school car. The train made other stops beside the school and picked us up for school and stuff we didn't have to move cars cause we all had the same car. Also, Julie is Timecrest or Julius Reed was the one who built the train stations and trains for us.
I guess it made it easier because used to people used to travel by Griffin transport which wasn't easy so everyone's thankful for that. It makes it a lot easier to travel.
And we made our next stop but not yet we just now got to Zoe's stop.
Zoe
My family lived outside the kingdom, even though we were soldiers I guess cause everything was so open. We had more places to choose where we wanted to live now. I got dressed and ready to go. Do you think I'll meet some cute guys I am a first year I am 15 years old. I'll be joining the roster of all the young 15-year-old first-year students.
We all went to whatever local high school or local middle school elementary schools that we went to now we had to go to the biggest school ever the school to help us find what kind of job we wanted. It's not college, but it is high school and Academy it's more serious than elementary school or any middle school that we've been to princess Riley and Princess Annalise are also joining us as first-year students I'm happy I love Princess Riley and Annelise too even though I don't know Annelise much I know Riley I've seen her around as she leaves the castle from time to time and I'm glad that it doesn't matter what walk of life we are that we get to go to this awesome boarding school it's gonna be great.
Also, it gives me a chance to be away from my mean mother my father is great, but my mother and father haven't been getting along lately I hope my father decides to take me to be with him instead of me living with my mother I don't wanna live with her.
She is cruel father asked me if I was ready. The train will be here soon. I am I said, and I've already eaten breakfast good girl he said smiling at my father. I can't wait for her to go, dear. I heard a voice say it was my mother why do you hate her so much she's our kid. Why do you have to be so cruel and hate that I'm a guard yes because it doesn't pay enough money it doesn't pay enough gold for us I'm doing my best to put gold on the table for us for food for us to eat.
I'm surprised you had enough money to send her to the school in the first place the head Mr. the headmaster of the school said that everyone can go poor or not. I heard my father say the princesses go but then other people go the princesses Good are they? They're not gonna become rulers no, their older brother will become the new king. Maybe he can establish it for us in some way.
He won't become king until the king dies. Mother said that I won't be for a long time yet we don't know how long someone has heard my father say again.
My bags were packed and ready to go. I had them all ready to go and sit on the platform of the train as the train came and picked us up at our little Oscars house outside the kingdom of Alder. You ready to go my father asked yes I said as I turned onto the train I'll see you on the next first holiday or so we'll see my father said and will write to you as soon as possible. We'll keep in touch. My mother said, even though she was cruel.
I condom the train and found my friends. We all said a cluster not all of us, but a lot of us did. I'd like to sit with the princesses Riley and Annalise. It was so much fun. Allison also sat with us.
We rode by the more expensive places now and in other places there are houses around Crane mansion and Crane mansion itself.
Indicating there was a town there is here Crystal and Falls. We left Volder on the outskirts of Boulder and entered into one of the towns Crystal and Falls, which was near Crane mansion.
Or another couple of young women lived earliest one iris. Iris was a senior. This will be her last year here at Valencia Academy.
Iris
I was ready to go. I was going to meet my friend's friend and not my boyfriend or even the person who I wanted my boyfriend at the platform I was dressed and ready to go and my bags were packed for boarding school senior year. I can't believe it. I can't believe this is my senior year at this place. These people are first-year and second-year years. There are a few of us who are fourth-years.
Then I'll be going to Alencia University wow that is crazy or I could choose to join a guild and up my magic that would be nice too. I don't know what I want to do most of us don't but the whole point is to figure out what we want.
OK, house in the neighborhood even though I was a servant and my family were servants of the Crane mansion. Most of us were who lived around Crane Mansion. Most of us were servants. I didn't mind serving the young AC who is about 16 but I hated my other bought the other one of the kids that I had to work under. I won't be seeing them because they'll be in the board boys dormitories thank goodness that Oliver, well we weren't close friends even though we were both on the same fencing team we both had extraordinary lightning magic.
Even though magic was mostly gone, most of us didn't use magic daily people most the time unless we were extraordinary enough to use magic at all if we were, we could be signed out to be a master day, but the master's council hasn't changed in the last several years well that is fine and our first and our first human founders were still on the council too, which was nice that helped a lot.
I ate a very modest breakfast and sat on the platform waiting for the two siblings to to arrive.
Because of the heat, Saint Clair has also moved into this area. They moved from Windsor how to move here. I saw Rita come up to wave at me, Iris.
I was about to contact you on your vision mirror. Oh, I'm here. I said waving at her. Come sit. We're only waiting for the Crane siblings. Great AC is fine, but I dread meeting with I know right he's so cruel to us and cruel to his sibling.
Rita
I walked up and sat down next to Iris, waiting for the train to arrive. We sat and chatted about things, including the two siblings that lived in Crane mansion and their parents and about being seniors in this class, which was crazy for us.
So what do you think you're gonna do after graduation? I sat down and asked Iris. I don't know. She said I'm not sure. I'll know when it comes to me and hits me. They don't know what I want to do with my life too, but they want us to figure it out now, I can't believe what they want us to do. I shook my head. We could start a fencing class we could that would be great, wouldn't it?
We are already the best Spencer in the whole class yeah only the second 20 yes Oliver of course he thinks he's better than us. Oh, but his younger brother is a lot better fencer I fed with him and trained him and said oh really I asked. Yes, Alistair is great Does he like to be called? He's great at fencing too. He wants to be a great warrior. Nothing you can be. Oh yes, his fighting skills would be unmatched.
Oh really I asked Yes Iris said, and they'll be coming in this direction soon, and like she said right on time here they came one was older than the other, but you could tell that they were siblings.
And they were in the middle of an argument.
It looked like the two of them were lightly fighting with each other. Iris came over to them and said hey can you please please stop arguing the train will be here soon. AC Alistair Crane waves at Iris and says hi Iris.
Hey, I heard her call back Oliver's friend. Why do you say hi to her? Do you like her?
No brother, I heard him say.
AC
I saw a couple of girls sitting over by the train station. I guess they never knew each other before one was Iris as good friends with her. I didn't know the other girl was pretty too I guess but I couldn't see them for long because my brother kept arguing with me about something, I don't know what it was something about this morning. I told him to let go. We're gonna be in school soon. Hopefully, we won't be in the same room together. Hopefully, he says we won't share a room but will be separated by years. You're a senior I'm not You're four I'm a third year. I said there's no way.
There's no way we'd be in the same room I said to him or even the same dorm. I separate us by dorm remember so we'll never see each other except in the hallways. You're right, but still, you better not get in my way and other things like sports and fencing and things why are you afraid that the coach will think I'm better than you he says and I say yeah Don't worry I won't try and steal your lightning.
The girls chuckled. They thought that was funny. They never heard it that way before I came over and sat next to them. Hey Iris Alistair, how are you? She asked fine argument with your brother yeah what else is new? We can't stop fighting because Mother and Father think I'm better than him which I don't care they're the ones who want to give me the inheritance when I get older and mad about it. You deserve it. You're nicer out. I know all I wanted was to have a good relationship with my older brother when I was young now I think that is impossible.
Especially since he doesn't like humans, yeah I know but I don't care. I know you don't care. I heard her say oh and this is Rita. Hi a girl next to her said I'm Rita Sinclair. Hi, I said my family is pretty rich too. My mother was the head, guild master of a guild. Once I don't know if she still is or not, but she let me move here or go here to go to school instead of being all the way out in the faster region because it was a lot harder to get anywhere From that area of the world. I asked her yes my mother is the headmaster of the Guild the icon guild, one of the best fire guilds in all of Valencia do guilds. I thought they were done away with that people still practice magic. It's just not completely gone. People just don't focus on magic completely Magic is not completely gone in Valencia. It's just not the biggest thing that people want to focus on more about their education than anything else, but you can't join a guild until after you graduate school what I heard so even if you show any magical potential, you can't join the guild until you're at least 18 or older if you decide to go to university, you still can't join the guild for a long time.
I knew that I said brother was glaring at me when I was talking to the girls. Can I talk to whoever I'd like brother why are you talking to the last seniors in the senior class? I am a year below you brother maybe you're two below you can talk to upperclassmen if I'd like, besides the girls, they'll be in the girl's dorm anyway that's true. Will be in the dorms for the girls on the other side of the campus so what's the harm girls are only good for one thing I heard my brother say one for bowling or two trying to flirt with them as much as many of them as you can for the older girls flirt with as many as you can, and for the younger girls bully them I shook my head. Why would you wanna bully them because he says they're dumb that's not true. There are some pretty smart girls in our group.
I don't think you're gonna get higher in the fencing class. I heard my brother say looking at Rita and Iris two were the two best girls in the group they said.
Oliver
I told the girls to not get in my way and I was mad that my brother was talking to them even though they were upperclassmen and he was below them for a year to behind. I told him and I told him the girls are only good for one thing if they're young torture them when they're older, and make them be your girlfriends but not the type of you're my girlfriend type of girlfriend no date as many girls as you can that's how it is especially the Rich and ones because they can give us money and power and we're rich so we should only rich girls.
Hey, I heard my brother say are you saying that because you were forced to have to be in a relationship with Rita? What do you mean I asked I mean, brother I heard him say again mother and father want to hook you up with Rita because she's rich and has all this money, but you want to date Iris no, I don't wanna date Iris either, the girls looked at us. We're not arguing about this anymore. I said we don't have to sit together on the train so I don't have to sit with you, but I will sit with Iris and Rita. No, you won't sit with them either.
You can't tell me no you may be older than me by a year or so a year maybe I heard him say but I am going to do what I like to put on his grumpy face fine I can't stop you little brother but you better not get in my way and things in school you don't have to worry about that because I am smarter than you say and the more advance classes anyway even though I don't like being in advance classes I thought I can't believe that the best school in all of the world allows, even non-rich people to go to it only the Rich should be allowed to go to this boarding school, but no they allow everyone from Maru walks of life in the school to go that is so not fair even though brother said Alistair said that it was fair because then that way everyone gets a fair chance I made a scaling face at him. He scaled right back.
Then we had a frowning contest can you just stop her? Iris said I turned and glared at her and my brother turned his smiled at her. I can't believe this. OK Iris I heard him say good. I heard Iris say the train will be here soon.
And she was right the train was coming and we got onto the train and went to our next stop destination when we got on the train though I went and said alone, like always the car was separated by many people and what class you were in I didn't care.
I saw my brother go sit with the younger crowd good then he wouldn't sit with the girls but I did go see him so sit with some of the younger girls because he liked them, but they were close to his age group, even though he was a year two years older I did look at the group of younger students in the group. Annalise and Riley were sitting in chatting with one another. I guess they were first years because I could tell and there were a lot of other first years. I watched as they looked up and waved. I guess they were taught that they needed to wave at other people higher class than them and money at least, even though they were princesses surprised that they weren't like me.
And there are some younger second years as well hanging around the princesses a young girl named Allison, who is in the second year's classes I saw my brother go over and sit with him. I didn't say he couldn't talk to them. I just told him he couldn't talk to Iris Rita.
He was having a nice chat with Allison. I guess then I went to sit down alone like always every time I take this trip every year.
Sometimes I like to sit with the other bullies. I hope others join me soon. I mean, I'm not saying I don't like being alone obviously that's not what I meant. I'm not a bully to those. I like hanging out with them. I'm only boys to those that I don't like like my own brother.
Are any of those I think are beneath me well, maybe I won't be sitting here by myself for a while.
ending here
Ending chapter here, I know I know not everybody has been introduced yet. I want to do introduction chapters so every character has a chance I should've done a dedicated chapter to each character, but that would have taken too long so I'm introducing everyone into one chapter at a time and a group together I started with Riley in this chapter and ended with Oliver and this chapter I think that's a good place. Don't you think? Also, I added Zoe she's not on the additional list, but I think having Zoe in the story would make things interesting everyone that was introduced was introduced that I gave things to except Zoe, but I hope you enjoy her story too. Everyone has their own unique story per chapter and each kit, her character will have their dedicated chapter as well, but right now it's more like an introduction to each chapter to each character while they travel on the train and get picked up to be taken to the school, also I decided to make Alencia Academy into this boarding school. It'll be easier for their interactions even though parents won't get too much but it's fine because not everybody's parents will be introduced. I didn't give all over Crane's parents any introduction or anything like that so you have Iris and Rita, which I thought was a great introduction for them as well. Don't worry, there'll be some more awesome characters being introduced in the next group of characters, I didn't have a full chapter or a full story based on Jackal talking because it wasn't a big deal at the moment he might get it speaking role eventually, but since he's like 21 years old and the oldest character in the group he probably won't get a whole lot of talking speaking roles much .
I hope you like all the ages that I have given the characters as well. I had to make them a little older or younger depending on the characters. I had to have the match close to their age so that they could all go to school or at least be graduating all right then I hope you enjoy Alia Academy and the next chapter chapter 3, which will come up with more introductions of different characters will be introduced and more of their travels on the train as they travel through Alencia. Don't worry the actual school part will start soon, but I need to start with a good introduction with every character because like I said, most of some of the characters might get their chapter, dedicated to themselves And I hope you like this And enjoy this awesome story Alencia Academy.
see you in chapter 3
next chapter will be chapter 3
next chapter chapter 3
