Chapter 1: The Academy

Blinking, it took a little bit of time to get the acceptance letter from the academy, but he had finally received one and today was the day of the academies opening! But at the same time, the transit to it was very much late. . .?

"It's supposed to be here?. . .Where is it?"

Marcel groaned as it should've been here hours ago, but it never showed up? An the longer he waited out here in the freezing cold, the more anxious he started getting.

But then after an hour of sitting on the side of the street and shivering as he didn't want to miss it even by some second, he suddenly heard the neighing of horses.

And looking down the road to his left he saw a carriage made from bone being dragged by horses made from from bones, and with the sounds of crunchy wheels.

He watched as the carriage being dragged by skeleton horses came down his street, 'Is it for me?' he thought to himself wondering as he's never seen something like it before, he's only ever seen wooden ones and the livin.

And in the shock as he saw the undead carriage speed down the street, it came last him clearly in a rush. But while he sat there and watched it pass, he some folk.

"What. . .Was that?" yet he hadn't the idea about it?

But then with the creaking of wood, he turned his head left of himself and he watched as another cartage had came down the road, stopping right in front of himself.

And as the carriage looked shaky as it stopped and the wood clearly rotten and looking like it was soon to fall apart, looking at him a shady man on the carriage side.

"Marcel Lionheart" asking for his name.

And gulping as he saw the clearly shady mister.

"Uh?. . .Yes!" he answered back quickly.

But he struggled to find any words, and the man looked back to the two brown horses in front of him an he said with a clearly complaining sigh, "Get on in. . .Boy"

And not wanting to as he was told at young not to trust any strangers, he said, asking him, "Is. . .This the transit to the academy?" he needed to be sure, very sure on it!

But after asking, the man didn't say a word, instead he took out a joint and with the snap of his finger, lit a fire on the tip of his finger, litein the joint up infront of him.

And seeing clearly as that was magic.

It was all he needed to step up and get in.

. . . . .

After getting in and the man taking off with him, they stayed silent for the entirety of the ride, with the man puffing smoke and him sitting there in silence, waiting.

But while he was waiting, he was excited, today was his first day at the academy and he couldn't imagine what it was going to be like, he heard it's a promising place.

So now he was looking forward to attending it.

. . . . .

Many hours passed and after falling asleep, when he reopened his eyes, he saw a bright light and a wall, it looked as if he was entering in a stone-walled in city?

Though he didn't know as he looked out the window?

And not wanting to ask the bazaarly suspicious man.

He kept silent but made notes in his head for when he was to explore this most beautiful city, 'After living in a small town for such a long time, this really is a new set of pace for me?' he still couldn't believe it himself.

But one thing was for sure, an that today he would be starting a new life, now all he needed to do was get to the school and pass the test to attend the schooling.

For what it was, he could only wonder in hope.
