Drake looked at the entrance to the academy before he took a deep breath and began to walk through the threshold into his new life. He stopped and looked back at the Magisters who brought him here. They were walking back the way they had just come. Drake sighed as he remembered the journey here: the two Magisters seemed to be a little annoyed with escorting him here because every time he tried to spark up a conversation with them. They’d simply ignore him and when he tried to ask a question about where they were going. One would simply reply with, “All will be revealed in due time.” Or “All your questions will be answered very soon.” 

“Guess they just wanted to bring me here so they could go home,” Drake assumed before he let out a sigh and looked at the map one of the Magisters had given him. It had one simple instruction on it. Go to the dormitory and nowhere else. He examined the map before he began to head towards the dormitory. This was it, his new life at this academy. How a simple blacksmiths son could wind up here was beyond him. He looked around at all the buildings that he passed and was stunned at their architecture. [i]It’s like something out of a fairy tale[/i] Drake thought before he spotted the dorms. He also spotted two people in front of them. He stopped and let out another sigh.

“Let’s hope these two are more talkative them the two people that brought me here,” Drake said to himself before he proceeded towards the dorms and the two in front of them. As he got closer he waved and said, “Good morning.”  [i]Please don’t be like the two that brought me here[/i]. Drake hoped in his mind.
