A beautiful carriage raced across the streets, occasionally sinking down into the ocean or rising up into the sky. It was made out of iron and shone in the sunlight, momentarily blinding anyone who happened to gaze upon it. The carriage was large enough to fit in at least 20 people, including the driver- a woman of an older age whose eyes seemed reflect her next destination which was a house of a fairy-tale character. It was the 31st of August - the final day in the nation of Fairixs- the home of fables and tales and so the school year has begun for the new students of the Fairytalia Academy.
Annabeth reread the piece of paper that came in the mail a couple of weeks ago while readjusting her fanny pack which rested lazily on her hip. The paper was straightforward- an invitation to the academy. An knew this day would eventually come, but to be honest, she did not anticipate it- Fairytalia seemed too fancy and prestigious for her. Don't get her wrong, she enjoyed learning and found school interesting but Fairytalia didn't focus on the actual 'school stuff'. They clearly only wanted you to become your parent. In An's case, this would be The Little Red Riding Hood. The girl who taught children not to trust strangers and the woman who became paranoid due to what happened. Sounds great, doesn't it? On top of that, the school schedule didn't seem that interesting. An actually burst out laughing when she read it for the first time. Things such as the Beauty Class seemed useless. At least she would still be able to study science. Plus there was the whole non-uniform thing- no need to wear a dress or a skirt.
After a couple of minutes, a fancy carriage arrived in front of Red's residence. An looked back at the cottage she lived in, avoiding her mother's gaze from the kitchen window. She picked up her surprising small suitcase and took a seat at the back of the vehicle, next to the window facing away from her home and stared at the forest as the carriage was set back in motion.
