"I don't know...." Alyss said as she sat on the couch of her home, her brother Ben held up their acceptance letters in front of her, almost bouncing with glee since they managed to get in. "Aren't you happy living here?"

"Well yeah, but sis, it's kind of boring here. Going would be like an adventure! And you could develop your powers more!" Ben told her, trying to think of anything to get his recluse of a sister to agree.

"They're developed enough," Alyss tried to tell him, but Ben was hearing none of it.

"That's not true! And my powers still need to develop as well! And we can make new friends and take in some new sights! You'd finally be out of the house more and it would really make me happy Alyss!" Well, there was no way Alyss could argue with the face Ben was making now...it looked like she was going to be going to a new school.

"Alright," Alyss said as she got up off the couch. "If it'll make you happy, I'll go...I probably do need to get out more anyway." Right after she said this, Ben grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug, swinging her around. She hugged her brother back, silently praying that this wasn't a mistake.

"Don't worry sis! Not long now!" Ben said as he looked at the map as the two continued to march forward. Somehow, he had been able to talk his sister into making the trip to the field that they were going to get picked up by the headmaster in, into a road trip (it wasn't like they had to pack a lot since Alyss could just make most of their stuff again when they got there), and they were on their final stretch of the journey now. It had been pretty fun for Alyss, getting to travel with her brother, but now as they got closer to their destination, Alyss was feeling a little apprehensive. But it was too late to back out now. Of course, that feeling of apprehensive wasn't helped when the two spotted a lone, human looking man walking ahead of them. Alyss was content on not walking up to the man, but Ben on the other hand..."Hey, mister!" Ben called out as he grabbed Alyss' hand and quickly pulled her along to catch up with the guy.

Alyss tried to protest walking up to some random stranger in the middle of nowhere, but it quickly became too late. Alyss just walked on the other side of her brother as he talked to the man.

"Hey there!" Ben greeted the man happily, "I'm Ben, and this is my sister Alyss. You're on your way to the Ordinary Mythical academy to right? If so, its nice to meet you fellow classmate!"
