Chapter 11 - Chapter Ten ~ Roommates

As the two young women walked up the stairs to reach the fifth floor, they began talking, all while looking at the interior of the school, which was a combination of a classical palace, luxurious-5-star-hotel and an extremely expensive college.

"I'll admit I've never been allowed outside the Lunaris Palace since I was born."

"You didn't have friends?"

"No. But going here will give me a good opportunity to make some."

"Same here. I wasn't exactly the most popular kid on the playground. I was more the punching and kicking bag"

"Good Hecate!"

"Yep. Sucked. But I'm an adult now and we are in a University, plus you're a whole lot nicer."

"Aww, thanks, Evie."

The two took Evelyn's suitcases up to their dorm which was on the 5th floor of the castle. Most students were looking for their dorms too and checking every door to find it. The doors were open with a latch to keep it open, and Claire and Evelyn wandered close to dorm 511.

"513. 513.... here we are! Who are we sharing this dorm with." Claire mused.

Claire looked at the door marked 513 and next to a mail slot, written on a small and rectangular whiteboard next to the door was the names of the dorm room's occupants.

CLAIRE deLUNA

AZALEA ASPEN

BLANCHE WINTERS

MARINA LAIKE

IRIS TARANIS

EMBER ASHFORD

EVELYN BLAKE

Evelyn walked into the dorm to see three bedrooms, two of them had three beds already in while the other had a single. Evelyn walked into a room to see two girls, one had pale skin with platinum blonde hair, dressed in a blue jumper top and a grey plaid skirt and cream heels, and a gorgeous Latina with jet black hair, wearing a green top with a pair of a black skirt and black stockings and a pair of black knee-high boots.

"There a bed available?" Evelyn asked.

"Yeah, right by that door there." Said a beautiful platinum blonde girl.

The platinum blonde pointed towards the bed on the right side of the room. The other two beds were on the other side and a wall facing the window. The jet black haired girl walked towards Evelyn, offering a sincere smile, and extending her hand.

"I'm Azalea, that's Blanche." Azalea introduced herself and the platinum blonde.

"Evelyn Blake."

"The recent addition to the New Bloods of 2017? From Earth?" Blanche asked.

"Yep."

"Which Kingdom?"

"Uh... the Commonwealth of Australia. But I live in Elysian Harbour. Turns out there was a portal thing and I didn't even know it."

"My mother told me that the portal between Caleste and Elysian Harbour was a myth." Azalea said.

"It was real. Who'd you come here with?" Blanche queried.

Claire leaned against the door and cleared her throat before walking towards the three girls.

"Evie came with me. Claire deLuna."

"Blanche Winters, Princess of Polaria and Azalea Aspen, a citizen of Demeteria."

"Polaria? Papa told me the Aurora Borealis shows they have are to die for."

"Same can be said for the Star-shows Lunaris has."

"And Mummy's assistant couldn't stop talking about Demeteria as a good place to relax from royal duties."

"Naturally beautiful. What about Earth, Evie?" Azalea asked.

"Elysian Harbour's got nice views... but the landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty probably beat Elysian Harbour." Evelyn said.

"I noticed the green lady in one of your brother's photos!" Claire

"That's the Statue of Liberty in New York City. So, I'm gonna guess and say you're witches of ice and nature."

"Correct. Pretty smart, aren't ya?" Blanche applauded.

"I wanted to focus on my education rather than teenage dramas like 'OMG did you see my boyfriend' or 'I'm wearing Gucci to the royal wedding!'"

"You attended a royal wedding?!" Claire gasped in amazement.

"No. I watched them on TV though." Evelyn shrugged.

"Wow." Azalea, Claire, Blanche all said simultaneously.

"Okay, I like her." Blanche pointed out.

"Same here." Azalea nodded.

"Agreed. We all like Evie." Claire smiled.

A brunette girl was unpacking two blue suitcases and placing them in boxes, only looking up to see the four girls looking into her room.

"Who are you?" The Lunarisian Princess asked.

"Marina Laike. From Hydros."

"I'm Claire, Azalea, Blanche and Evelyn."

"The recent witch." Marina asked.

"I'm gonna guess you're a water witch. Hydros, the word hydro happens to be associated with water."

"Impressive guessing. Royal?" Marina asked.

Evelyn nodded "Nope."

"Cool. Neither am I." Marina stated.

Claire raised her hand "I am."

"Same here."

"Two royal and three citizen witches."

"Headmistress Spellmont said there was an announcement for the Incoming Class of 2021 at the Main Hall. Let's go." Azalea reminded.

Blanche agreed "Yeah."

As the five were exiting the dorm to hear the announcement, two girls entered. One girl had bright red hair with two black suitcases and a fancy black backpack, while the other girl had the more classic older style looking brown trunks and a brown leather satchel.

"Ember and Iris." Marina stated.

"I'm Ember. Of Ignis."

"The Fire Kingdom." Claire remarked.

"It's a Sultanate, actually. Where's this recent witch I've heard of?" Ember affirmed.

Evelyn waved her right hand "Hi."

Ember seemed a little disappointed "You seem so.... normal."

"Yeah, appearances tend to be deceiving. What about you, Iris?" Evelyn wondered.

"Pogoda the weather kingdom. I'm not royalty. Who is?" Iris inquired.

Claire and Blanche raised their hands up.

"Cool. So, you're a recent witch?" Iris questioned.

Evelyn replied. "I guess the nickname so appropriate. I am a recently discovered witch. Enough about me, we should go to that announcement thing. So how old are you guys?"

Marina, Iris, Ember, Azalea, Blanche all responded with "18."

Claire nodded "18. Evie?"

"Recently turned 18."

The girls all left their dorm, closing the door, which had automatically locked their room.

"Don't worry, Professor Mooney told me that we'll be given keycards after the announcement." Blanche reassured her dorm mates.

The girls walked down to the Main Hall, located on the entrance floor
