The girl woke up, seeing their little source of light from the table,a candle. She noticed something strange.

The fire moved.

She stood up immediately, with knife in her hand. Someone's here.

Careful not to let the intruder hear her steps, the girl slowly walked closer. Trying to sense the intruder's movements.

But then she heard her mother speak, which was very odd. "I thought she's not gonna be home, till morning? " she thought

She had no choice but to step back, put her knife out of sight. This wasn't an intruder, this is a visitor of her mom.
Thinking of this she decided to go back to her room, and let the night pass-

"This future is the best we got... "

"I can't let my daughter be alone! "
The girl stopped walking. And one question remained .
They we're talking about her?

"She's stronger than you think.. "

"That doesn't justify anything! "

"We've thought of ways to protect her. "

"Any mother won't accept what you're saying to me. This is getting ridiculous. " the girl heard a chair moving.

"Please, the other futures hold death for you and your daughter. "

The girl stopped breathing, the death of her mother is not acceptable. There was no movement for some time....
"You Erudons don't know what you're talking about. "

"We see the future, we tell prophecies, effects of thousands of different choices of beings, we see them. "

The mother didn't answer back.

"And if you want to keep your daughter alive... This is the best choice we've got. "

Angelica woke up with a start, followed by a headache that made her brain throb. "Ugh... " her hand was forced to soothe her head. Then she remembered her dreams. "A memory? But that was something new..... Maybe something else? "

"Angelica! " a voice exclaimed near her. "You're awake thank goodness. "

She stared at the blurry figure. Her eyes still hasn't adjusted for her sleep. "Maria? "

"Oh thank goodness. " she sat beside her. "Are you okay? "

Angelica removed her hand from her head. "Yah, I feel a little fine now. "

Angelica suddenly noticed the worry in her eyes. " what's wrong? "

Maria looked away. And her gaze stopped at Daniella and Lucilla, still lying down unconscious. "They're still not awake yet. "

"How long have I been out? "

"I don't know, I don't see a clock in here. "

"And where are we?"

Asking this question made Maria smile. "Dude! We made it! We're in Magica! We did it! "

Angelica's brain stopped. "What? "

"I honestly can't believe it either! "

But what Angelica can't believe was Maria's reaction. "Another world existing... It was just... Really unbelievable!! " her face was gleaming with happiness.

Not like before.

"You like it here Maria. " Angelica smiled warmly.

Maria beamed at her"Of course! " then she went to examine the strange designs at the walls. "New stuff to discover! I mean I've read thousands of fantasy books. But I didn't expect it all to be all this- " maria turned to angelica "-well, Real!"

Angelica had no reasom not to chuckle. "You're like a child Maria. Chill! "

Maria rushed to Angelica. "How can I chill! Angelica look around!! "

She followed her friend's advice. "Maria we're in the infirmary of the school. "

"But still! " Maria ran to her table and grab the book. Then she flipped the pages with excitement as she returned to Angelica's side."It says here that this school has rooms that changes to our desired designs! "

Angelica laughed. "What? "

"Right!? And then-"

Maria's words we're cut by a groan. Daniella has woken up.

Angelica removed the blanket covering her body and together with Maria, they rushed to the other side of the infirmary.

Daniella blinked a few more times before looking at the two. "Did we make it?"

"We sure did!!" To Angelica's surprise Lucilla was already up. And she was already expecting the walls with the strange marks. "What are these? "

Daniella groggily stood up. "We're in the school already? "

"Apparently... Yeah I guess. " Maria answered, unsure of her answer. "I think we're in the clinic of the school. "

"Their designs are weird... "Lucilla said, touching the markings.

Angelica took a good look at the designs. The overall wall has a mix of blue hue. And every corner has a figure of a girl, either in position of casting a spell, or just smiling warmly with her eyes closed. And every girl has something held in their hands. Like it was worth protecting. Bright blue lights were also emitted from this marking that looks like a -

"Water droplets?? " Lucilla asked herself out loud. "What's with those? "

"Ah!" Maria thought out loud. "I've seen those before it's around here somewhere." she scanned the pages of her book. The sounds of the pages filled the silent room as the girls waited for an answer.

But Daniella spoiled it. "And here I thought you hate that book."

The sound stopped. Angelica noticed the wide eyes Maria has, it just hit her that Maria didn't notice what she was doing till now. She was having to much fun too realize her hate. Then she heard Maria cursed under her breath. And then she dropped the book, not wanting to touch it ever again.

"Hey I thought you're okay with that now?" Daniella said, as her facial expression changed from proud to stern.

"I am never-"

Daniella walked towards her. "Don't act like a spoiled kid Maria." she said as she pick up the book and shoved it towards her.

"You don't know me." then she glared at Daniella.

"Same goes for you."

Angelica and Lucilla started to feel the tension in the air.

Angelica started to speak
"Uh guys maybe we should-"

"What, you think you're a heroine of some mangga?!"

"I never said-"

"Well you should stop Maria! We all know you don't want to live here! You came with us with a different goal in mind. "

Maria stepped back, with sausered eyes. "What-"

"I know one thing Maria. " and Daniella walked towards the door. "And I'm not gonna waste my time around you. I'm here to learn Magica and it's world. "

Maria tightened her grip around her despised book. "Tch. "

And then she threw it towards Daniella. "DON'T YOU DARE ACT LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING! " and then she let go.

Angelica saw it all happened. The book spinning towards Daniella's face. Daniella turned around only to see a hard book about to hit her in a matter of seconds. Out of reflex she attempted to cover her face, and close her eyes. She expected impact as black covers her vision, but as she waited the more she became confused. She couldn't believe as another magic event unraveled in front of her. The book stopped in mid-air for no reason.

The door was open and in the door stood an elegant figure. Her long dress continued to extend towards the floor. Ice-blue stars covered the dress, and as the dress go down the tone of the blue goes darker. And the loosed long-sleeves were designed with more shades of blue. Just like the infirmary itself.

"Hurting an innocent student. " her gaze steadied on the book "Against the rules don't you think?"

Angelica was as speechless as everyone else. She was an enchantress, that vibe she gave was enough to give it away. Her dress, it has everything she has in mind when she was reading those fantasy novels back home.

"Glace, the head enchantress summons them." Another woman stood in the doorway, this time more stern than the first one. "Better give the book back to them-" as she said those words, hard wind came and the book was forced back into Maria's hands. "-and return to head enchantress."

"I don't need to be reminded dear Elysia." Glace turned to the other lady and smiled. "I was just checking their injuries since the infirmary is my duty."

Elysia rolled her eyes. "Don't play dumb, you too are included on the council. We still have yet to decided what to do with these four Normalities."

"Normalities?" Glace laughed. "I do believe to differ my fellow enchantress." she glanced at the girls. "They too have the symbol of a Magicalitie." the enchantress' eyes darted to the jewelry hanging in their necks.

Angelica touched her necklace, then she remembered the guy's words.

"That is your ticket to Magica."

The lady crossed her arms, not convinced. "Every Magicalitie has magical energy running in their body. Magical talents is what I consider their symbol."

Glace calmly positioned herself so the girls can look at her more clearly. Angelica has a bad feelings as Glace's eyes change into a darker tone of blue. "Shards." her mouth whispered lightly.

Suddenly Angelica can hear these strange sounds, and when she looked at her surroundings different sharp icicles are forming from various angles. "Wait! They're attacking us!" she saw the nervous expressions from her friends. "What now!" With the icicles fully formed they slowly spinned faster, and one by one they approached the girls.

And Daniella made her move, she ran in the middle with book in hand. With the book opened she made a sign with her hands as it dance in mid-air. "Cast! Emergency Shield!"

Angelica can't see it, but just as the icicles reach their spaces it disintegrated one by one.

Furious Maria glared at the ladies once she knew it was over. "Why are you attacking us! Is this how you welcome students in this school?"

Glace smiled at Elysia. "Powers and knowledge about our world. What more can you ask?"

"Whatever, students. Follow me, you still have some explaining to do."

Maria was shock in disbelief. "Ignoring me!? How dare yo-"

"Maria." Angelica put her arm in her shoulder. "I think we should just follow them for now."

Maria nodded unsure whether she's with a friend of with a foe.

The halls made more sense than the infirmary, it was just like in their old school hallway, except longer. Different portraits covered some of the walls,and other were just doors leading to another room.

The door they met was bigger than the rest. "Here we are. "Glace said. "You guys better prepare yourselves for a whole lot of interrogation."

Lucilla jumped "Interrogation? Did we do something wrong?"

Elysia examine each one of them before answering. "We'll see."

The doors revealed a spacious room lit by many blue flames at the edge. And at the far end of the room sat at least 15 other people. Ranging from men to woman, young to old.

"Is this the four girls we've heard so much about?"

Not in the mood Maria scoffed. "Oh, we're famous now?"

"Disrespectful kids. " one of the older lads muttered.

This caused a little uproar on the table.

"They should be banned from here!"

"How did they even get here!"

"Spies!"

And so on.

Angelica and her friends looked at each other uncomfortably. "So much for a warm welcome."

A loud clap silenced the room.

" Silence, everyone."

Angelica's eyes widened. This lady was way younger than the others, and yet what is this aura she emits?

"The judgement shall start now."

Lucilla raised both of her hands. "Wait we're in court now?!"

The young lady chuckled. "We just have some few questions for you little Magicalitie. Starting with your purpose."

"oh! Well Daniella can answer that ma'm!"

Daniella sighed. " M'lady we came from Earth , in your view it is known as the Normalities dimension, correct?"

One of the people in the table nodded and answered. " One of the foreign worlds beyond us. "

"And that world doesn't posses any magic, am I right?"

The gentleman nodded. "I do believe that's the case, Magicalitie."

"Then why were we attacked by these monsters?"

The council at the table didn't put effort into hiding their shock. "That is impossible, monsters don't exist in the Normalities dimension. They won't last long there."

One teacher however had her chin in her hand, positioned into thinking mode. "My dear, what do there 'monsters' looked like?"

It was Lucilla who answered that question. "They had yellow glowing eyes, long sharp claws."

The teacher knew the creature at once. "The beasts of anger. level one "she looked at the young enchantress before. "They were right about coming here, staying there would affect the balance of-"

"Hold on miss. Zelia"one of the teachers interrupted. "How can you believe these children? How are you sure that they are speaking the truth?"

"If they were indeed lying Sir. Nifues. " the lady glared "They wouldn't get the correct description of the beast. For example, red glowing eyes and long claws? Then I would start to doubt them." then she turned to the young lady once more. "M'lady, I believe they did the right thing to come here. They were being hunted by the creatures of the fallen. There is no better explanation!"

"But if I remember correctly Miss.Zelia." Elysia decided to also join the argument. "Both Magicalites and creatures of the fallen need magical energy to function and live properly. Which everbody knows that it doesn't exist at the Normalities dimension at all."

"Oh we have an answer to that ."Daniella smirked.

And then the four spirits reappeared beside them. The other teachers didn't react, but the youngest stood up. Shocked for the first time.

All the spirits bowed down. "M'lady, we humbly offer these magicalities to your school."

"Lost souls..."the lady whispered.

Elysia became confused."M'lady. Is something wrong?"

The lady smiled. "The reason why the creatures of fallen were alive is because they had a target. They don't really rely on magical energy completely like the rest of us. The mostly form if they had a target, a magicalitie in their area."

"M'lady's right."Miss. Zelia nodded.

"As for these four girls, they each had their own source of magical energy."

"But that is imposibble M'lady!"Sir. Nifues shouted. "The only source is the Holy tree which doesn't reach the space of the normalities dimension."

"Dear Nifues, we indeed rely on the Holy Tree. We get our magical energy from it. But these girls didn't use much of their magical energy-"she looked at the girls "-correct?"

Daniella and Maria understood and nodded. Maria laughed. "It was the first time I used my powers, M'lady."

"Well then I guess we have our answer."

Angelica smiled. It seemed that the ruckus has died down. But they forgot one important clue."M'lady!"

All attention is on her now.

"What is it, Angelica"

"She knows my name?!" she ignored that thought, there are more important matters at hand first. "We knew the way to get here because of a man."

This caused another confusion on the table. Even the lady was alarmed by this. "Indeed... How were you able to come here?"

"Summoning spell M'lady. A relatively powerful one. "Daniella answered as she glanced at Ella who nodded back. "With a help of our books and our necklaces, the cost of magical energy lessened."

"The mark of a Magicalite. Each magicalitie has a gem that serves to do many things. But at first, it's sole purpose is to act as a mark that one person is a magicalitie. Who gave you these gems?" the eyes of the young lady changed drastically.

The girls looked at each other. "We don't know his name, we're sorry." Angelica answered for all.

"Wait, let me try something."she grabbed her book once more, and positioned her finger for a spell. "Cast! Memoria!"then she closed her eyes.

The shock has never been so obvious in the lady's face.

A scene from before appeared like a mist in the room. It was the scene when the guy spoke to the four of them.

But before the scene could proceed, the lady made her move. "Cancelio!"

The scene evaporated and all they saw was a second of what Daniella wanted to show. "Why did you cancel the spell!"

"We know this man now that the council has seen his face. And now I recognized the four of you as full citizen of Fantasia." there was a change in her tone of voice. But regardless she raised her hand as if she were to bless the four new students. "I lady Clarissa of Fantasia, hereby bless these Magicalities as a full pledge students of my school."

A warm light enveloped the students , it was short but sure.

"Glace, guide them to their temporary rooms for the moment. The ceremony will start tomorrow, make sure they know the way around." Clarissa ordered.

"Will do M'lady." she motioned the girls to follow her. Which the girls all saw and they followed the the enchantress. Their spirits disappeared once more, and thus the meeting ended.

Clarissa snapped her fingers and the blue flames were extinguished all at once. And the lights from the chandeliers lit up in exchange for the blue flames. Clarissa went down and walked towards the door.

"M'lady wait!"

Clarissa stopped, a few inches from the door. She turned around only to see Elysia catching up to her."What the girls showed us...Was that true?"

"I believe so Elysia. "then she continued to execute her plan, she opened the door-

"Wait! What are you gonna do!"

Clarissa thought for a second before decided to tell her faithful enchantress. "I'm going to contact our King and Queen. " she turned around. "The Erudons are back."
