Description
Pirates and wizards should never have mixed. That was what everyone said at least, but sometimes rules are broken. Alura Dusksong, a new wizard in the school of Ice knew this better than anyone. Though she was an eighteen year old girl, she still had problems with what others called reality of facts. Alura looked around the commons of Ravenwood’s school for Wizardry in Wizard City and felt a shiver race up her spine.
She ducked just in time to avoid a blast from a fire wizard. “Whoops, sorry. Lost control for a bit. You okay?” Alura looked up to find a young Pyromancer that she hadn’t seen in five years. “Aurora?”
“It’s Alura now, Ash, but yeah.” Alura smiled wide like a child at Christmas. “Nice to see you again, Ashlea.” She pulled some of her blonde hair away from her eyes and tucked it behind her ears. She then adjusted her silver glasses and smirked.
“You too, what are ya doing here? I heard you got caught by the Armada and dragged halfway across the spiral.”
“I was… and farther… on my way back, I found that I had powers from the school of ice and well… here I am.” Alura shrugged.
“OH! That’s why you’re going by Alura! It’s your new codename! Awesome. Mine’s Ash Firestone. What’s your full name?”
“Heh, Alura Dusksong. Guess we still have a lot in common, huh?”
“Yeah. Wizard powers up the whazoo… you still say that, don’t you?” The brown skinned wizard asked. She had brown hair and bright brown eyes, but her hair also had streaks of pink in it at the edges. She was wearing a set of fiery red robes with just the right amount of black to set it off nicely.
Alura laughed as they started walking to the school of Ice. “Of course I do, Ash. I’m just surprised you’re using my nickname that I gave you when we were kids. How have you been?”
“I’ve been well. I kick butt all over the Spiral with my fire spells, but I have some other spells as well. What about you?”
Alura looked a little nervous about her past. She looked around to assure herself that no one was nearby. It made Ashlea chuckle. Back when they lived in Marelybone together, the two of them were always up to something secretive, whether they were sneaking into Aurora’s secret candy stash, which she always kept hidden under her bed, or tailing Aurora’s guardian and mentor, Sherlock Bones. “Promise you can keep a secret?”
Ashlea smirked and held out her hand for a pinky promise, just like from when they were kids. “I promise, Aurora… or should I now call you Alura?”
“I’ll answer to either one.” Aurora smirked as she held her friend’s pinky with her own and they shook. She then pulled out something and slipped it to Ashlea to look at. “I’ll be back in a few after I introduce myself to the teachers and get my first assignments.”
“Right.” It was a small journal that was labeled “Captain’s log”. Ashlea sat down on the stone steps outside of the school of Ice and read the journal while waiting for Aurora. Inside the journal was exactly what it said, a captain’s log.
