I took her hand.

"Yes, let's see what my father prepared for me."

The moment I touched her, we vanished. In an instant, the world shifted beneath our feet, and we reappeared in an entirely different land another realm. This place felt strangely familiar, like home, only darker… and more beautiful. It reminded me of something out of The School for Good and Evil split down the middle, one side cloaked in shadow, the other bathed in light, yet somehow, they existed together in the same space.

"Now that we are here," she said softly, "there's no going back."

"What am I going to do now?" I turned to her, confused.

Without answering, she waved her hand or maybe it was magic. I didn’t just feel different; I looked different too.

I was now dressed in black leather trousers, a matching jacket, and a small cap resting atop my head. My red-and-white hair, however, remained untouched.

"You roll with your mate," she replied.

"What about you? Where are you going?" I asked.

"To where I belong. See you. Someone will come meet you in a few minutes to show you around. Goodbye."

"Wait, don’t go!"

But she didn’t listen. She dashed away like lightning and disappeared into the night.

I stood there alone, scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. Maybe just maybe I knew someone here. At least, I hoped so.

That’s when a guy with red curls like mine appeared.

"You must be Fiona," he said, offering his hand for a shake.

"Yeah, I am. And you are...?"

"I’m Jack, the student assistant. The student leader is nowhere to be found, so I’ll be assisting you today."

We began walking together.

"So, Fiona, which home do you belong to?" he asked.

"Home? What does that mean?"

He stopped and turned.

"Oh, I see. They didn’t tell you we have homes here?"

"No, they didn’t."

"Cool. So, there are four homes in this academy Noxmere Academy," he explained.

"There’s Luneris, for werewolves. Virelle, for hybrids and rare supernatural beings. Aurora, for witches. And Noxtera, for vampires. So, sweetheart, which do you belong to?"

"Hmm... I... I..."

"I what?" he asked as we climbed the stairs.

"I don’t know yet. I don’t have my powers."

"Oh, I see. That means you belong to Virelle for hybrids. I belong there too. I’m just supernatural. Come on, let’s get you to your room."

"Room? What about her?"

Before he could answer, two figures interrupted us a boy and a girl, the latter with striking purple hair.

"Jack, what are you up to again?" they asked in unison.

"Just showing the new girl around," Jack replied casually.

"That’s Lucius Malfoy’s job. Why are you doing it for him?"

"You know he’s unreachable. I couldn’t just keep her waiting."

"Keep who waiting?" a smooth voice echoed from the crowd.

A tall, handsome guy in a dark coat stepped into view. I stared from his boots to his face and instantly slapped a hand over my mouth.

The purple-haired girl whispered beside me, "I know, right? He is so cute."

"Who is he?" I asked.

"That’s Lucius the student leader. Half-god, half-demon."

"What?!" I gasped.

"Shhh! Don’t let him hear you!"

But she didn’t understand why I was so shocked. It wasn’t just his looks or his power. He was the boy she and Aurora had saved the boy his father sent to Earth with me. He was the same boy I saw by the highway... and now he was here.

"Is he everywhere?" I muttered under my breath.

"You can say that."

Lucius appeared right in front of me.

"And you are?"

"Fiona," I answered.

"Tsssk. Fiona... Who are you? The Red Fionaaa?" the purple-haired girl teased.

"Wait, she actually looks like her!" the boy beside her exclaimed.

"Whooo?" I asked, confused.

Lucius extended his hand.

"I’m Lucius, the student leader. Sorry for the wait."

I looked at his hand, stunned.

So he actually speaks. And his voice… was just as dashing as his face.

"I..."

"I already know your name," he said flatly.

The purple-haired girl came forward.

"I’m Janet. And this is Desmond my boyfriend."

They both smiled as they introduced themselves.

"Boyfriend?" I asked, pointing at them.

"Yeah, a couple," Desmond answered with a grin.

"So, which house do you belong to?" Lucius asked, pulling out a book.

"She doesn’t know yet," Jack chimed in.

"Oh, then you’re Virelle," Lucius said, without emotion.

I nodded.

"I’m Luneris," Desmond added.

"And I’m Noxtera," said Janet.

Then I turned to Lucius.

"Virelle," he repeated.

"Nice to meet you all."

"So, what are your powers or your bloodline?" Janet asked.

"I’m from a dragon and god bloodline. I used to shapeshift… before I lost my powers."

Lucius, who had begun walking away, stopped and turned. But he said nothing.

"Wow," Janet whispered. "Just like the legend."

"What legend?" I asked.

"Come, I’ll show you," Jack said, guiding me toward the school’s library.

Inside, the air was thick with knowledge. Shelves reached the ceiling, filled with books from different worlds and realms. But in the center of the library… a massive book floated in mid-air.

"Wooow," I breathed.

"Yeah, right? That’s the legend. The Red Fionaaa."

"Rumor has it she’s still alive but trapped," Janet added.

"She died. Come on," Jack muttered.

"No," Desmond argued. "She disappeared."

I stepped closer to the floating book.

"Can we read it?"

Lucius’ voice echoed behind us.

"You can’t. But there’s a smaller one. It tells the same story, but you're not allowed to touch this particular one."

"Come on, Lucius, don’t be so mean."

A woman stepped from the shadows. She was graceful, with an aura that silenced the entire room.

"I’m Isabella an Aurora," she said. "Don’t mind him. You’ll get to read it… eventually."

Everyone stepped back when she entered. The silence was eerie. She carried the presence of a queen.

"The queen of Noxmere Academy Lucius’ girlfriend," she added.

"Girlfriend?" I repeated internally.

Why did that sting? Why did it hurt… for no reason at all?

"Keep dreaming," Lucius snapped at her.

They began to argue, then left the library.

Jack leaned closer.

"I’d advise you to avoid Isabella. Since you’re prettier than her and right now, the prettiest in the entire school you’d best keep your distance."

"Why?" I asked.

"She’s mean," Janet said. "She bullies newbies and powerless students like you."

"So it’s best you avoid her," Desmond added.

I nodded.

"Thank you. So… about the book?"

Jack handed me the smaller version. I flipped through its pages, and what I saw made my breath catch.

This is my story. This is me.

The book… it was my diary. Rewritten.

But how? Everything that happened here was exactly what had happened back then.

"Who wrote this book?" I asked, my voice low.

"Some say she wrote it herself," Jack said. "Some say a human named Elias did. Others believe… it wrote itself."

"Wow… so why did it stop? Why isn’t it finished?"

"No one knows," he replied. "That’s why we never knew what happened to Red Fiona or her family."

I stood in silence.

So it was real.

I wanted to know what happened to my family.

I wanted to know if they survived.

I wanted to know what became of Antarctica after I left.

But when I disappeared… the book stopped writing.

That was when I realized the truth.

I am the Red Fionaaa.

    I opened my eyes slowly, still breathing hard from everything that had just happened. My clothes were dirty, my heart was beating fast, and I was lying on the cold ground.Then I saw her.Standing a few feet in front of me was a tall woman dressed in black. She wasn't just wearing black she was covered in it. Her long robe touched the ground, and the hood over her head made it hard to see her face clearly. She looked strange, like someone from the old stories those witches who chased away demons and spoke in riddles.I sat up slowly, not sure if I was dreaming or awake. My body ached. My head was spinning. But the woman didn't move. She just stood there, calm, like she had been waiting for me.Then she raised her right hand toward me.It took me a moment to understand she was offering a handshake.I blinked. I looked at her hand, then up at her face, and back to her hand again.What was this? Who was she? Why was she here?Still unsure, I slowly reached out and shook her hand.Her

    I thought of a way to manipulate them and get some information out of them, so I gathered enough courage and approached them."Fiona is a good name. Do you want me to start calling you that from today?" I asked the girl, turning to the supposed daughter. She immediately pulled a face of disgust."Ewww. What's Fiona? And why would I share the same name as you? If you can't call me Iris, just forget it. Don't ruin my perfect name."That meant my name was still Fiona. Perfect.Iris? Perfect? It worked. That meant they weren't like my father or mother. They were mostly humans, then the lady spoke "hope you are done with the dishes I have to go to my shift, I wish someone would take my place" Shift?? What's that, like a momentary turn while safeguarding a post? I think that's what she meant by that, that also would be a good opportunity for me to go out so fine I will use this for her.."Should I help you with your shift today? I can grab something for you on my way back," I asked the wom

    I rushed to the door and opened it quickly.But the moment I saw what was on the other side, I froze.There were people sitting around a large round table. It was made of polished wood warm, familiar. It looked just like the celebration tables we had in the dragon village. The soft candlelight filled the room with a golden glow. People were smiling, talking, laughing.For a second, I forgot where I was. It looked like home.Then I heard a voice from the table, light and playful."Mommy, I told you not to wear that. It's too old-fashioned."I blinked. That voice... I knew it. My heart started beating faster as I followed the sound.That's when I saw them.Aurora. My sister. My parents. Even Oma. All sitting at the table, eating together. Laughing like nothing had ever gone wrong. Like nothing had happened at all.Tears rushed to my eyes.Without thinking, I ran to Aurora and threw my arms around her. I held her tight and buried my face into her shoulder."Aurora!" I cried out. "Thank t

  • The Legend of Astaria: Tale of the forgotten dragon princess   1

    My sister, Aurora, and I were flying together when we noticed something strange on the frozen land far below us.Aurora flew steady beside me. She was a dragon, powerful and beautiful. Her silver scales shined in the sunlight, her wings cutting through the air like blades. I looked at her and felt small. Not weak, just… different.How I came into existence?My father was a shapeshifter and also a god. My mother was a dragon who had been locked away in a dungeon. The gods had sent my father to kill her. But when he saw her really saw her he couldn't do it. He felt her pain. He fell in love with her. It was love at first sight. Because of that, he gave up everything even his place as a god and ran away with her. That's how I and Aurora were born."Fioooona," Aurora called. "Why are you so quiet? What should we do?" She flapped her wings gently as she spoke."Should we go check it out? What about what Oma told us to do?" I asked. Oma was the leader of the dragons. Even though I wasn't fu
