(I slowly opened my eyes to see the Darkroom. My head was pounding. As I fully opened my eyes to see the principal of Draelsore and my dad. I look toward my dad to see a few tears fall from his eyes.

“Dad,” I mumbled. · He lifted his head up and stood up from his chair. · “It’s good to see you awake.” My dad says slowly walking toward me.

I slightly move my head to my principal to see her looking sad, her head facing the ground as my father speaks.

“Hey uh what happened?” I say confused because I was in the medical room. The principal lifts her head walking toward me. “honey you were scratched while fighting today I’m so sorry” she says as her eyes slowly start to become bloodshot.

I felt my eyes felt heavy once she told me. “what was it” I say as my voice cracks

My dad speaks up and says ” The aqua-...)

My eyes slowly started to open to the sound of my alarm. I groan and throw the blanket over my head and try to go back to sleep. Until there was banging on my door. “Echo Winx Wake up! you have five minutes before we have to go out to the breakfast hall for our first day!”

I groan and finally get up, slowly looking at the time.

“okay ok, I’m getting up!” I say this in an annoyed tone.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

I get off my bed and head to my dresser to pick out my uniform. I grab my phone to see what time it was. ” 6:35" I scoff ” I still have 25 minutes,” I say to myself, going to the bathroom to take a quick shower before getting ready.

I walk out and put on my uniform and rush out the door grabbing my backpack as well. I start walking to the breakfast hall until my friend Amelia comes running down the hall, jumping through the crowd towards me.

I laugh to myself and hug her.

“echo guess what!” She says, moving her hands excitedly.

“what?” I say smiling at her because she’s never been this happy since her dad died.

“Oliver asked me out on a date!” She says, jumping up and down. I looked at her, confused.

“wait Oliver as in nerd Oliver or Oliver James...” I say, my voice trailing off.

She looks down at her hands and looks back up at me.

“oh um, Oliver James,” She says in a soft tone looking back at her hands.

“oh ok that’s fine,” I say, giving her a small smile and heading into the breakfast hall.

I bet you’re all wondering why I’m talking about Oliver James, so weird. Well, that’s because he’s my ex and he cheated on me with Jessica Banks. She used to be my best friend until she made up this rumor about me. Saying I had mental issues which I don’t. Everyone thinks I’m an innocent little girl that’s useless. But I’m part of the first generation of witches. They can’t know that or will have to leave the academy. Anyways back to breakfast and the first day of this.

I sit down at the long table where about another 100 students sit as well. Amelia sits next to me and gives me a small smile before putting the napkin on her lap.

I look at my surroundings and see a bunch of ancient stuff.

A lot of weapons I’ve studied in the past. The rapier, Flail, War flail, and a long sword. There were many more, but I couldn’t think of the name right off the bat.

The War Flail is my favorite out of all of them. It has a long stick at the end for a grip, with four chains connecting the stick to 4 spiked balls at the end of each chain.

I put my focus back on Amelia and saw her on her phone. I take a look at my food before I hear a pair of heels clattering onto the floor.
