Lady of the Midnight Forest Part 1... Or is it?

   "Lexi, I- I don't think I can hold on much longer."
   "Just a minute Elli, Governess Prissypants is almost there."
   Elli sent a pout my way. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one holding a bathtub's worth of river water in the air."
   I looked up at the floating glob of water floating precariously above our heads. I couldn't even  imagine carrying that much water with my own hands. Elli was really getting better at this elemental magic stuff. 
   "Well, you don't have to hold it much longer. She's coming down the hall right now!"
    Unfortunately, as soon as I said that,  Elli let her trembling arms fall. Which of course made the water plummet and splash everywhere. Drenching us in the process.
    Miss Helena (a.k.a Governess Prissypants) heard the noise and rushed to the corner where we were hiding.
    "Guards, I found them!" 
     A rough cloth covered my ears and mouth. Extreme pain, then darkness.

A few hours later...

     I slowly opened my eyes at the sensation of being jostled around. It sort of felt like I was in one of those horrible bumpy carriages.
     I blinked and took in my surroundings. Seemingly cushy seats that were actually rock hard, supposed gold decorations that I knew were just painted on. Yep, looked like a horrible bumpy carriage to me.
     I tried to sit up, but my limbs were weirdly floppy. I would have ended up sliding down to the if someone hadn't caught me.
     "It seems that one of the new guards thought we were intruders and shot those tranquilizer darts at us." The familiar voice of Elli came from behind me. "I think he must have somehow only managed to hit you and not me." Her tone was disapproving. "Clearly, that stupid idiot of a guard was lying through his teeth. I don't see why you put up with this... treatment you get from the palace staff! I could always just tell Papa, and he would-"
     "Don't. Please don't Elli." It seemed no one approved of 'that dirty little orphan girl who randomly got picked out of the trash'. I could see why. I had all these gifts, clothes, good food, and I didn't even do anything to earn them. I only have all this stuff because Elli insisted that I get everything she gets.   
     "I-

     "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STOP THERE!!!" The thump of a book crashing to the floor echoed throughout the castle. A shaky hand slowly picked it back up again.
     "I fixed the broken computer. I read the blog posts. I even opened a portal to the Mystika archives, after failing multiple times mind you." All of this was directed to a winged mint-green bunny sitting on a table. "I do all that and I'm not even the tiniest bit closer to figuring out what happened here!"
      The raging girl gestured wildly at the scene behind her. It seemed like a perfectly normal library. That is if a perfectly normal library had books and shelves in utter disrepair, and comatose people scattered on the floor.
       The girl sighed and rubbed her temples. "You know what? I really need some sleep. Let's go Flying Mint Bunny."
       Said creature dashed after her as she walked out of the room.


Yeah guys... I have no excuses. But at least I posted!
   

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."  

   

Nicknames for everyone!!!

Ugh, I can't sleep and on top of that something exciting is going to happen in the next couple of hours and I'm all hyped up 'cause of it. So everyone gets nicknames!!!
April=Rila
Ruby=Ru
Srija=Srigi (not much of a nickname but hey it's catchy)
Taylor=Tay (Rila made that up)
Alexis=Lexi (of course)

Right now, I'm on a mission where I have to go to school in a kingom called Salindae, which is by where I'm from and BTW homework is the worst thing ever. The person who made it up either wanted to torture kids or was a complete idiot. Anyway that explains why I haven't been able to blog lately.
So I guess I'll talk about the Mystique a little more. You know about all the other worlds right? We have members in each world. Ru, Taylor, Rila, Srigi, and I are the main ones though, because of the narnia effect which states that in diferent worlds time passes differently. Me and the gang are somewhat immortal due to the fact that we all have some magical creature blood. I'm part phoenix because of an accident that practically ripped my whole life away from me, and I know Rila is a dragon shapeshifter. I'm not sure what the others are though. After all I've been here a grand total of six months, according to HQ time, and I've been on missions for most of it. Oh, we also have a rival group but everyone refuses to tell me their name. Apparently once upon a time we were all one group fighting for the happy ending. But after an argument it started to divide, boys against girls. A lot of the girls were heartbroken as they were dating some of the guys. They knew the group was going to fall apart sooner or later so they followed along. So technically thegroupidontknowthenameof is on our side but we have different ideas about happy endings. And some of them are stuck up, arrogant jerks. Honestly, I don't know what the girls saw in them. But I guess it would be nice to fall in love. Ta ta for now

Lexi

Welcome to the awesomeness

Welcome everyone, although anyone who doesn't believe in magic should turn around and go back to whatever they were on before this. Because we use a lot of it. Also people who don't like the words random, epic, bizzare and ninjas. I'll try to resist the urge to use them, though Oh I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alexis, but you can just call me Lexi. I'm a part of a group called the Mystique and we travel from world to world and try to um, save the day or help the person who was supposed to do it. And yes there are different worlds but they're not always in the same universe as earth or whatever world youre in. At the moment Im in HQ which is really really awesome. Anyway my friend Taylor ( BTW shes also a member) came back from one of her missions with a thing called a laptop. So the rest of the gang ( Ruby, April and Srija) and I made her teach us how to use it. Then I found a blog named realm travelers so then I wanted to make a blog myself and well here we are. Uh oh April's calling me. She sounds angry. I hope she didn't trigger the prank meant for Ruby. Ahhh she's coming! Gotta run, bye O.O
