After the First Years finished getting sorted by the Appraisal Stone, the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy, clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention. “Now, it is time for the yearly tradition of Brynhildr Academy,” Professor Rinehart with a mischievous smile on his face. “Every year, around this time, the new batch of students in the academy will do the Initiation Ceremony after they have been sorted to their respective Manors. “This year’s challenge was painstakingly prepared by our…-

“It’s you!” Ethan shouted as he pointed at the silver-haired young lady that was mounted on top of a creature, who was half eagle, half lion. “Ah, Professor Ophelia, perfect timing,” Professor Njal said with a smile. “The candidate you chose is about to get sorted. You must be looking forward to it, right?” Professor Ophelia’s body stiffened after hearing Professor Njal’s reply. She had done her best to arrive at the academy as soon as she could, and the moment she arrived at…

Half an hour later, all the students of Brynhildr Academy had gathered in the Plaza of Beginnings. Standing beside Ethan, were four more students, who were also chosen as VIP Candidates, who were personally chosen by the top Professors of the Academy. Two of them were boys, and two were girls. All of them seemed to be around sixteen to seventeen years of age, and all four of them were looking at Ethan as if trying to discern his identity. “Do you know him?” a cute looking young lady with curly…

“Everyone, we have arrived at our destination,” the train conductor said as he shook a handbell in his hand. “Make sure that you don’t leave any of your luggage behind you as you depart the train. “I repeat, we have arrived at our destination. Make sure that you don’t leave any of your luggage behind as you depart the train. We have arrived at Brynhildr Station.” Ethan opened the door of his compartment and walked down the aisle, carrying his bags. ‘Was it supposed to be Brynhildr…

“Okay, Ethan, calm down,” Ethan said as he lightly patted his chest. “First, let’s see if I am dreaming or not.” The teenage boy pinched his arm so hard that he almost cried out in pain. It was then when he confirmed that he wasn’t dreaming. “There must be some logical explanation for all of this,” Ethan muttered as he picked up the bag of chips that had fallen on the carpeted floor. “I mean, since I saw it, others might have seen it too, right? But, why isn’t anyone on the train…

“This compartment sure is nice,” Ethan muttered. “It almost makes me feel a little bad about ditching the Academy.” Naturally, the word “almost” was there, which meant that Ethan would certainly leave the Academy after a few days. The train had just left the station, and the blue-haired boy had nothing to do but admire the passing scenery outside his window. Although there was a smile on his face, deep inside he was feeling anxious. This was the first time he had left his home, and he…

The next day… Ethan and Agnes traveled to the railway station together. Agnes decided to accompany Ethan. Knowing her grandson, she was afraid that the latter would run away and not board the train. The teenage boy knew that if he did something funny, the incident that happened yesterday would happen again. His bum was still aching from the relentless onslaught that it received, and he decided to be obedient for now… and run away later! ‘Hah! Grandma, do you really think that you will…

“Do you… believe… … in Magic?” That was the question that my grandma asked me when I just turned ten. I could still remember that time, where I sat beside the fireplace, waiting for her to tell me a story like she used to do whenever she was in the mood for it. A story about a world where Elves sing, Fairies dance, Dragons soar the sky, and Giants roam the land. A land filled with dangers, and mysteries, where the World Tree, Yggdrasil stood tall, and watched over all of creation.…
