Mage Academy For The Gifted

~Daryn~My life as an average teenager has always been a mess. Raised by a single mum, I at times feel very lonely whenever she's at work; I have no friends to visit, I don't do parties and other stuff you might refer to as 'cool'. Often times, I also get bullied at school. Most times I just wish I could have the adventurous life I've dreamed of since I was a child. Find magic if it really exists, sail across the night sky upon a dragon's back, and save the world together with my team of magical superheroes. But again, all these fantasies can only exist in my head and not in the real world. ********It was 8:00pm at night, and my mum had not yet returned from work. As usual, I just finished having a nice cold bath and was about to watch some TV, dressed in my bathrobe; I would then probably fall asleep on the couch like always, until my mum came back from work. However, things took a different turn when a sudden knock was heard on the door. I wasn't expecting any visitor, not at su

I appeared in a big and well lit room which had silver curtains, and two beds. The floor had criss crossed silver designs, with some repeating circular patterns. Its walls were painted with blue and silver colours, and it had a sharp and attractive contrasting light which made the room look more colourful. My gaze swept around the whole room in fascination, as I couldn't realize the source of such warm lightning. I eventually noticed the brown wooden table by the corner, which had a bowl full of tasty snacks upon it.My stomach growled. I was hungry, and craved for some snacks, so picking at least one biscuit won't hurt. "Stop it Daryn!", I whispered to myself. I can't trust the school yet, after all they kidnapped me and dozens of others whose families would probably be worried about. I paced around the room until I got to another door. 'This should be the bathroom', I thought. My gaze met with the silver wardrobe which stood opposite the second bed. I was probably not going t

A lot of time passed, and with five people before me, I was next in line for the test. The test hall was getting quite empty, since most supernaturals were teleported to the fabrication room, while the others were sent back home. Tiny beads of sweat rolled down my face as I felt really anxious for a reason I couldn't understand. I exhaled lightly before stepping forward to touch the orb in front of me. As I touched it, its bright yellow glow grew paler and paler until it turned white. There seemed to be a small explosion within it, which caused it to shine with a sudden bright white light. I noticed the startled look on everyone's face, but I couldn't really understand what happened. The headmistress was puzzled. "What just happened?", she asked. I took my sweaty palms off the orb before it assumed it's yellow glow again. But there seemed to be a problem - the magic screen didn't display the kind of supernatural being I was, even though the orb confirmed that I was a supernat

~ Daryn ~I managed to find my way back to my dorm, after spending hours walking around the academy in search of it. The academy was truly vast in size, and one could get lost without being careful. I dashed into the room without quickly noticing that a new person had replaced Henry, my former room mate. "You must be Daryn Coldwater"I felt a bit creeped out at the sound of the anonymous voice, especially because the lights were turned off.I took some steps backwards until my back met with the door. "Who are you?", I asked. "Geez, relax dude...I'm Daemon Weathers, your new room mate", said the person. The lights finally came on, and as I could guess, it amused him to see how frightened I was at the moment. He tried all he could to hold himself back from bursting into laughter, and his face looked red and swollen from all the holding back. I felt embarrassed. "What? You shouldn't have startled me that way", I blurted with a slight frown. Then without any warning, he finally e

"You love staring"On hearing Zora's words, I stopped staring at her and awkwardly shifted my gaze to the other side. "Um....I'm sorry, I just--""No, it's fine...you're handsome", she said with a beaming smile. "Thanks... You're gorgeous too", I replied and smiled back, still staring deep into her eyes. We started dancing again. Her cheeks flashed with a bright red tint as I gently pulled her close to me and let her fall into my arms.She was great at dancing just like I was. I was amazed that she was able to flow with my dance steps. I tried so hard to not stare at her, but it seemed futile. She was just too breathtaking. Trying to make it seem less awkward, I decided to start up a conversation;"So, um...what supernatural being are you?", I asked. "I'm a dreamer...you?"I frowned slightly. "The truth is, I don't really know...for some reason, the headmistress and her assistant are hiding something I can't tell", I replied. "Oh...so, it's complicated...""Yeah...can you by
