"I've never been in a castle before..." Flynn said quietly as she wondered how confusing it must be to navigate around with all the different rooms and halls in the place. Her home back in neverland was hard to get lost in with all the different entrance and exits if you didnt know your way around, But it was deciened to keep pirates out so she understood why. She wondered if everyone who lived in a castle knew how to navigate around or if they just got lost all the time.

She took a moment to think about Tims question "Neverlands a big place... I have'nt explored it all yet, there could be a lots of animals hidden in unsearched places... though my dad did tell me about a time he met a Hippocampus and Never Birds are a intresting sight they are big skeleton birds with red, blue and yellow wings they are one of my favorite animals on Neverland, Also you dont have to apologise you where just being curious" Flynn would say with a smile that faded as soon as she catch sight of her shadow again.

As it got closer to the two of them as they spoke, unlike her dads shadow hers just wanted to play it enjoyed being chased, Flynn reached out and grabbed hold of it when it was close enough putting it back in its place with a bit of a struggle, she then looked at the ground embaressed "S-Sorry about that... So umm... whats you faviort animal if you had to choose...? and have you ever got lost in you castle...?" The fairy in her hand would look up at her seeming to say something in its native laungage that put a small smile back on the girls face.

Irah continued to look at the castle and its surroundings. Having been born and lived in Wonderland all her life, she knows that nothing is what they seem. Despite with the school's majesty and grandeur, Irah can't help but feel something odd about this place. Whether it be just wishful thinking or a gut-feeling, Irah mysteriously felt uneasy for the first time in her life. Whatever it is, she vowed to unlock and know the secrets of this so-called 'academy'. After all, you can't keep a secret forever.

Irah saw someone waving at her. Curious, she approached the person and quickly did a rundown on her. "Hmm, let's see here. Blonde, blue eyes, perfect skin, regal composure, and a face brimming with natural beauty. You must be a princess." Irah removed her top hat and curtsied before putting it back on. "M'lady, I am Irah Hightop, child of the Mad Hatter and citizen of Wonderland. How lovely it is to make your acquaintance."

Gray walked up to the others but stayed a bit away, not trying to make contact yet. A fairy zipped near her and she put out her hand for it to land. The tiny creature made to do so, but when it was mere millimeters away it stopped then zipped a few feet away. A puff of white breath came out of its mouth and it rubbed its arm from the cold, even though the temperature around them was quite pleasant.
Gray sighed and walked away from the fairy. She looked around to try and find someone to talk to when she noticed an odd looking character talking to what looked like another royal. She walked over to the two to introduce herself.

As Alexander woke and looked at the clock on the wall he soon realized he was exceptionally late, and on the first day to make it worse! He sprung out of bed and rushed to his closet to get ready. Throwing on his pants and shirt and some gold knowing he will have to pay someone to give him a ride because he would rather not have to out himself as the dark ones son on the first day. "DAD! You forgot to wake me if I had slept in!". "Sorry, it must have slipped my mind. Besides you know I have things to attend to in the morning." Rumpelstiltskin said from behind his desk making some sort of concoction "Yeah, I know but still. Well I have to go see you later" Alex said on his way out grabbing an apple. And with that he was out with his gold thread to catch a ride to the academy.

@Raptra
Eventually he had 'convinced' a villager in the town to give him a ride out. He showed up after everyone now gold less and tryed to blend into the crowd he soon saw someone he recognized out of the other people there. It was Jack's "the giant slayer" son, Edwyn. He was glad he saw someone he knew atleast even if it didn't show much on his face.

Edwyn had seen the fairy being repelled by Gray's coldness from the corner of his eye. She then walked away from him without a word, clearly upset at what had happened. He decided not to call or go after her, but he continued thinking. She obviously possessed some sort of ice-related ability, but to what extent? The fairy she had tried to reach out to then settled on his hand for warmth, joining the first one. That was when an idea came to mind. He reached into his pocket with his other hand and pulled out a piece of candy before crushing it into tiny pieces. The fairies took a piece each when he offered it to them. He then popped the rest into his mouth before waving them goodbye as they flew off, fairly certain that he would see them again.

It would seem that Gray was not the only latecomer, for yet another teen turned up at the gates, one he did not expect to see. So, Gold was a first-year as well. What were the chances of that? The boys had first met not too long ago, and hopefully the witnesses of a certain... accident, were still keeping their silence. Bribery with gold was not going to work in the long run. These people would just keep asking for more, but the information Edwyn had against them? Now, that was more effective. They would not be too smart to spill the beans. He shot Alexander a grin and gave him a small wave.

"That would be great, but maybe we should go later. Someone will probably come to collect us soon" Annabeth said with a soft smile. She turned her attention back to the flowers once again, fiddling with some of the petals of the exotic ones. Her mother would surely love these. Maybe during the last few days of the semester, she could make a bouquet of out them and bring them home. Surely they would let them go home during the school holidays right? Annabeth shrugged- they would probably find out shortly. Deciding not to interrupt Madison's, Gray's and Irah's conversation, she picked a handful of already wilted daisies and began making a flower crown.

"Hmm, let's see here. Blonde, blue eyes, perfect skin, regal composure, and a face brimming with natural beauty. You must be a princess." top hat says, I blush as she say those nice complement to me, "I am Irah Hightop, child of the Mad Hatter and citizen of Wonderland. How lovely it is to make your acquaintance." "Oh! Um, I am Madison Tremaine, child of Cinderella and Prince Charming. It also lovely to make your acquaintance" I say to Irah with a warm smile. A Another student came toward us, the student have white hair and blue eyes "Hi, i'm Madison and this is Irah, what your name?"

@sassy1085@baraquiel
Gray blanched at being directly addressed so quickly. "U-uh, I'm Gray Arnadalr, she/her currently." She stuck out her hand to the girl, Madison. "Pleasure to meet you. It's nice to see another royal so soon. I was a bit worried that I was going to be the only one here. Which was kind of stupid since there are so many princes and princesses. Sorry, I was rambling."

"Aaaah, a child of Cinderella. Hm, yep. It all makes sense now", Irah nodded.

Just then they were approached by one of their peers and introduced themselves to them. "Well well, it's always nice to meet someone as non-uniquely unique as myself. A pleasure to meet you Ms. Arnaldar", Irah said to Gray before curtsying. "If I may say, it is such a curious and... humbling feeling for a fairy tale commoner like me to be surrounded by multiple fairy tale royalties such as yourselves," Irah pointed at Madison and Gray. "I gotta ask: how is it like, life in the palace? Do you sing and prance about in your kingdoms by morning and party with the woodland creatures in the afternoon? Do you always wear those lavish ball gowns, even when you go to sleep? D-Do you royalties even fart? Pardon for the sudden questions but I am simply intrigued about you princesses", Irah said.

It may be hard for people to take Irah seriously simply because they never knew if she was serious, or even have the ability to be serious. As much as she was a troublemaker, Irah hoped the princesses weren't somewhat offended by her questions. If they were, Irah will honestly be disappointed.

"it's ok, it also pleasure to meet you as well and it pleasure to meet Irah too." I say, for a minute there, I thought I was going to have only one friend here but I'm glad that I have made two more friends. I turn to Irah who ask us about our life as princess, I laugh at her last question if we even fart. "Hahaha, huh, It's all right, I like to answer your questions." I say to Irah. "Life in the palace is nice and all but sometimes, I get lost in the hallways. Yes, I do sing in the morning and party with the woodland creatures. I do always wear my ball gowns but most of the time I like to wear my casual and comfortable clothes. And for your last question, yes, I do fart but I do it in private. Is there any more questions I like to answer" I say to Irah with a smile on my face.

@sassy1085@baraquiel
"U-umm, palace life? To me, it's quite dull. I've always found going to balls and garden parties and etiquette lessons to be very boring. As for dresses, in the public eye I have to wear dresses male or female. But in private, hidden behind the walls of the castle, it's nice. And I have never tried to sing and my answer about farting is the same as Madison's." Gray smiled at the two. These two seemed very nice, and actually seemed to want to be her friend.

@Crimson Flame@sassy1085@Raptra@baraquiel@Secrethood@Overlord24@Blueflame

The gates opened, revealing a middle-aged woman with a writing pad and a pen in her hand. She wore a white dress which seemed to belong back in the 18th century and her hair was tied into a messy bun. Overall she looked like she got dressed in a hurry. She cleared her throat to attract the children's attention before she began speaking: "Hello students. I'm Mrs.Gabrielle- one of your teachers. We will be entering the school building in ten minutes. Does anyone have any questions? If not, feel free to continue chatting amongst yourselves."

@Raptra
Alex saw Edwyn wave and he shot back a short two finger half wave half salute trying to be somewhat formal to him. He began to walk over too him to be around someone who Alexander somewhat knew and trusted before the lady came out and spoke.
@Animera
"Any questions, um I have one." Alex said raising his hand and voice to get the lady's attention "What all classes will we take here?"

Irah nodded as Madison and Gray answered her questions. It was meant to be sarcastic actually, but Irah guessed sarcasm was a very poor way on properly talking with the princesses. Even if they were her age, they're still royalties. A bit irritate as she is, Irah decided to just be on her best behavior in the meantime. After all, there are still plenty of time for her to play later.

"Mmmm, interesting. Oh since you guys are pretty princesses and all that, do boys ever-"

Then the gates of the academy opened,interrupting what Irah's going to say, and out was a middle-aged looking lady wearing super old-aged clothes. She looked quite plain and boring to Irah but then again, first impressions can only last so long in the fairy tale world.

The lady, who turned out to be one of their teachers, said that they can go inside in 10 minutes and they can also ask questions to her. Irah excitedly waved her hand to call her attention. "Oooh! Mrs. Gabrielle, I have a question! When can we eat lunch?", Irah jokingly asked.

@sassy1085@Overlord24@Animera

"Didn't expect to see you here, mate. How have you been?" Edwyn began, as Alexander approached him.

Gold was one of Edwyn's few... clients, or acquaintances whose activities he did not constantly track. If ever asked if he would consider him a friend, he probably would not have a clear answer, but he knew him enough to gauge how much he could trust him. The boy was an honest dealer above anything else, and that was all Edwyn needed to know for the time being. Would he like to know more? Always. Alexander had remarkable abilities, though they did get him into the situation which Edwyn happened to witness and offered to help him out of. He would learn the details about what he was truly capable of, in due time.

That was when a slightly disheveled-looking woman came through the gates to address the entire cohort, introducing herself as 'Mrs. Gabrielle'. When she offered to answer any questions, Edwyn casually raised his index finger.

"At what times are we allowed to leave the academy grounds, Ma'am?"

@Blueflame @Animera

@Crimson Flame@sassy1085@Raptra@baraquiel@Secrethood@Overlord24@Blueflame
Mrs. Gabrielle looked over the students before she began answering: " We have a lot of different classes ranging from science to various arts. All students will receive their timetable during today's homeroom. As for lunch, it will start right after your combat/gym class, at 2 p.m.". The woman took a breath, looking down at her pad before she responded to the final question." Students are not permitted to leave the school's premises unless accompanied by a member of staff. The only other time when a student is allowed to leave the premises is when they are traveling home during the school holidays. Now, everyone, the opening ceremony will begin soon. Please follow me.". Gabrielle tucked her pad underneath her arm before, slowly entering through the gates of the academy, shooing the fairies away.

Annabeth tied the ends of the unfinished flower crown around her wrist, creating a slightly loose bracelet. She stood up and shook off the grass from her cardboard brown tunic. Eying the older woman with disdain she followed, whilst maintaining a slightly large distance between them. The girl hated being contained in the same location for long periods, and the rules about leaving the academy's grounds see
med too strict. Yet not everything seemed so terrible-the combat class did sound good...

@Crimson Flame

She would look over at the older woman, listening to what she was saying as fairies would fly around her the one that was still rested in her hand would be looking up at the girl. She didnt like the idea of not being able to leave the academy grounds, regretting not asking what the roles where on flying and if it counted as leaving.

"You coming Tim...?"She would ask quietly starting to follow the woman, waving goodbye to the fairies the one on her hand know sitting on her shoulder. She looked at it with a smile continuing to follow, the little creature reminding her of home, she silently hoped she would be able to keep the fairy for as long as it wanted to stay.
