Mystika Archives: Found

Hey everyone, it's Elara again!!!!

  So after we got back from RTHQ, Lexi and I finally went to the chocolate room, and guess what I found? The Mystika Archives!!!!!!!
  .... You don't know what the Mystika Archives are, do you?
  Well, the Mystika Archives are where all the life stories of all the Mystika students are! Lexi may have mentioned that to you before. 
   Anyway, guess what else I found?
   Nothing less than the life story of a certain Alexandra Sarielle Rue!!!
   Lexi is currently out on a mission right now, so I can post it on here if you want!!!
   ...Only problem is, part of it kinda got singed to a crisp. So I'll only be able to post the first part.
   It's your choice :)
   
Elara


If you do want me to write out the first part of Lexi's life story, it'll basically explain how Lexi met Elara, Henry, and Sam, and what Lexi did before joining the Mystique. If you don't want me to write it, I'll just go on to the next mission. Lexi's life story isn't really needed to understand any of my missions in the future, so it doesn't matter to me.

Tour guide Lexi Rue, at your service!

Dedicated to Magicrainbow123  'cause she kept nagging me about it :P

 "Okay, so first off, here's the mess hall. It's where we eat, have food fights, and act kinda crazy" I pointed through an archway. I had been assigned to give Persia a tour of Mystika Academy.
   Have I ever told you how much I love giving tours? It makes me feel all professional and stuff.
   "Anyway, the food fights don't happen as much as you think. Although, if one does break out, I suggest army crawling under the tables. Most of the teachers are cool with it if you have food stains on your clothes, but the Air teacher will go nuts if she sees even a speck of dirt on you. Pretty much all of the people in the Air house are neat freaks, so I advise you stay at least a foot from them unless you want to get slapped with a bunch of feather dusters." Pausing to take a breath, I found Persia looking at me strangely.
    Turning the corner, I started up again. "So, this hallway," I gestured in front of me. "Is where we have all our classes. There's one teacher for each element, Basic and Secondary, so there are a lot of teachers." I heard a creaking noise behind me and whipped around. "Oh, shoot there's the stairs!!!"
    I ran as fast as I could towards the slowly fading staircase, with Persia panting behind me.
    "What in the world are we running for?!?!" Persia asked
    I pointed at the staircase."That's our only way to the second floor!"
    Note to all readers: Disappearing staircases are very very dangerous and absolutely should not be messed with. There is always the chance you might slip and fall into thin air. Which happened to me.
    "AHHHHHHHH NO I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE- Wait, what?" Somehow, I was... floating!!!!
    I gawked at Persia. "Did you do this?"
    She winced and shrugged. "I don't know. Look, can you just hurry up? You're kinda heavy."
   I giggled, embarrassed. "Oh right, I, uh, forgot I had wings." I unfolded them and hurriedly flew the rest of the way. Persia followed soon after, collapsing on the floor and breathing hard.
   I ran over to her. "Are you okay?!?! Do you need me to take you to the Water house?!?! That's the house all the healers are in, you know..."
   Persia held up a hand to stop me. "I'll be fine. What's on the second floor, anyway?"
   A relieved grin spread across my face. "Well, for starters, most of the dorms are on the second floor. The only exception right now is the Fire house, which I'm in. The Fire house has their own separate rooms that they're able to move around."
   Persia's brow furrowed. "What do you mean by 'right now'?"
   My eyes lit up at this question. "Okay, so technically, there's an unlimited amount of elements. Since  there's one house for each element, there's an unlimited amount of houses." Persia opened her mouth to comment, but I held up a finger to stop her. "Right now, I think there are only five active houses. Their official names are Dreamers of the Day, Walkers of the Water, Movers of the Mind, Communicators of the Crystal, and Fighters of the Forest. Their elements are Fire, Water, Air, Ice, and Earth, respectively. Instead of having a headmistress, we have a representative from each active house"
    I helped Persia up. "All the dorms are really awesome. The Ice dorms are completely made out of ice and crystal, the Water dorms are partially flooded so you can swim whenever you feel like it, and the Earth dorms have a forest growing in them!" I leaned over to whisper in her ear. "Also, the boy side of the Earth dorms are rumored to be haunted."
    Persia gave me a puzzled look. "What about the boy students?"
    I burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, I must've forgotten to tell you. Mystika is a girls-only academy. A long time ago, guys went here too, but some big fight happened." A glowing light caught my eye. "Oh, this is perfect timing!!!" I pulled Persia over to look. "The doorways with these shiny symbol thingys," I rubbed the mark. "Are a kind of mini portal. If you have a key and you know how to activate them, you can go to the specialty rooms. There's a trampoline room, there's a chocolate room, and tons of other rooms!!! Apparently there's a room with all the life stories of all the students that have gone here! I'm still trying to find it."
     I pulled a key out of my pocket and showed it to her. "You get the key when you get sorted into a house. Now, allow me to demonstrate the activation." With a flourish, I picked up the key and held it in front of me. "One thing you should remember is that the symbols switch doorways every couple of days." I closed my eyes and concentrated on letting my power flow through me and to the key. 
     Somehow, I uh, managed to use a little too much magic and I ended up creating an actual portal.
     I spread my arms out. "Stay back!!! This might be- Oof!" Something careened into Persia, making her stumble forward and crash into me. The world seemed to slow down as we fell into the portal.
     "Oh my gosh, I cannot wait till we get there. I haven't had a piece of chocolate in ages and it's been driving me-"
     "Elara," I growled out. "You are in so much trouble when we get back."
