5 Here we come

A week had passed and Huiliang and her half-sister were packed and ready to go. They were waiting on the doorstep for the carriage that was meant to pick them up. They didn't have to wait long though because a white carriage with golden wheels flew in and landed on the road in front of their mansion. It was being drawn by two pegasi, a chestnut brown and a white one with a black heart on its forehead.

A man came and took their suitcases and bags and helped each of them enter the carriage. Then when he made sure that they were sitting comfortably he climbed onto the front of the carriage. "Triton and Pelias were all set." He said, and Pegasi took off into a gallop. When they were halfway down the road the pegasi spread their wings and began to soar.

"Can you believe it? We are on our way to the prestigious magical school where most of the top magi in the world attended." Meiying exclaimed "And we also get to meet their royal highnesses as well"

"This is the place where we can learn more about who we are and also grow our magical abilities." Huilang replied, " We have to be focused if we want to be the best we have no time for boys."

After a few minutes of talking the man shouted " Misses look out the window we have reached the valley below is the school where you will be staying for the next few years." excited the girls looked out to see a magnificent castle. It had a colourful garden in front that went on for miles and to the right of the castle was an immensely big maze behind it was a field and to the left was a huge glass greenhouse. Some way from the castle was a big lake. From the air where the girls were, it looked like a glistening sapphire.

"Look at more carriages," Meiying cried pointing at an identical carriage to the one they sat in.

After a while, their carriage landed in front of the castle's huge golden gates. There were rows and rows of carriages all of which were identical to the one that they sat in. All of them had girls and boys of similar ages to sister climbing out.

"Children this way please," said a woman. She was a rather plump woman with rosy cheeks and a kind, warm smile on her face. Next to her stood another woman. It was the same woman that visited their house that day, a week ago. All the children walked towards her chatting and laughing.

"Look, it's their royal highnesses," cried a girl as everyone turned around to watch as 3 children in expensive-looking clothes came out of a carriage. There were two boys and a girl all around the same age. They came and joined the rest of the crowd.

"Welcome to your royal highnesses," both the women greeted in unison. The children around them followed suit and in on voice, they chanted their greeting to the young royals, And their highnesses nodded in response. The women then turned and addressed the rest of the children: "My name is Miss Agacia, I am the current headmaster at Astiadore, I will be your magical abilities teacher. This is Miss Alixa, she is the deputy head and your potion teacher. In a few minutes, the children who received scholarships will be directed to their private quarters by Miss Alixa and the rest will follow me. The rest of you are all in your first years and will have an hour to settle down and get to know the people in your dorms after you have to find your way to the ballroom where you will be given more information on your future at this school. This includes our scholarship students." she turned to the stern-faced woman next to her, "Miss Alixa, please take your students now."

The stern-faced woman nodded and waved her hand in the in front of her. As she did a list of names appeared in sparkling light. When the list had fully materialised she began to read in an audible tone, "Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Huizhong Alessandra Da Polenta, His royal highness Prince Guotin Leone Da Polenta, His Royal highness Longwei Donato Da Polenta, Wang Huilang and her sister Wang Meiying," With her sharp voice that grabbed the attention of all the children present without effort, she continued to speak "The children whose names that I have just read out follow me," she said without waiting for a response as she turned and started walking away. Huiliang followed behind by a few passes trying not to lose Miss Alixa and her half-sister who she was already chatting to the royal children as if she had known each of them for years.
