The next morning .

Emma and Mable was there to see him of at the village gate.

"Ready to go". Emma said it with a grinning face.

"Yes aunt, but i don't see any carriage here....when is the carriage arriving?".he ask.

" No! you will not be taking a carriage they are every expansive ". Emma reply.

" Don't tell me you expect me to go there. by foot".

"When did I say that? Here take this".

Emma pull out a folded paper from her pocket and give it to Felix.

" What is this ".he ask.

" A flying paper".

"A flying what!".

Mable take a step forward and put her hand on his shoulder.

" Felix be careful out there now that you are on your own".

"And give it your best and come a great wizard okay and don't be reckless." She said.

"Okay Mom! I can take care of myself now.. I am not a kid anymore".

" And besides I will not be on my own for too long I will meet new amazing peoples there too". He reassure Mable.

Mable was surprise to hear those words and learn his son has really grown up.

"Yes, your are right".She smile.

" Felix there is a female teacher name Amelia at the academy and if she give you trouble just mention my name ".Emma smirk.

" Okayy...?".

" Felix hold that paper and say repeat after me". Emma said.

"Take me to the forest of Clovia ".

" Okay... Take me to the forest of Clovia".Felix repeated.

"Wait!... Why Forest".felix said it with a confuse face.

Then suddenly the folded paper begin open itself began to grow big and started to wrap up Felix body".

" What is this!!".

"Well if you land straight at the middle of the city you will get unwanted attention right..so, the forest is the best option.".Emma said that with a corrupted smile.

" WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY LAND!!"

Then Felix flew up at the sky at a full speed and went South West direction.

Emma and Mable both continue to look up at the sky as he flew away.

"Don't worry Mable he will survive that".

" I know he will". Mable reply.

At THE SKY.

As Felix flew over the mountains, along side a flock of bird and pass small villages along the way.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-".

" Hey did you hear that".

"What! I didn't not hear anything."

"Maybe is was my imagination?".

After ten minute Felix finally crash in the forest of Clovia.

" That... Hurts.. "

" Ahhh...,. I take back..what I said...she is not that cool".

He got on his feet and wipe out dust on his clothes.

"So this is the forest of Colvia"

"I need to find a way which lead to the city".

He noticed a trail which seem to lead the way back to the city.

He follow the path and arrive at the city of Clovia.

The city was big, every street has several store like clotheing, blacksmith, jewelry shop, backery, saturated market.

The weather was bright and sunny and it's citizens was lively. It was different from the village he came from.

Felix ask a nearby person for direction to the inn and following the lead he arrived at the inn. A receptionist welcome him and he book a room.

"Can i get the application form for Celestial Eden High entrance test".he ask.

" Of course wait a minute.. I will bring it out for you".

"One for me too!".

Felix turn his head to see who said that.

A boy who has dark red hair with orange eyes and he was slightly taller then Felix. He came closer and stand beside Felix.

" I need one for me too please ".

" Okay but please wait a minute ".

The receptionist went inside to bring the application from.

Meanwhile.

" Are you gonna take part in it too".the boy ask Felix.

"Yes...".

" Let's give it our best then".

"I am Aiden Qinstone and you? ".

Judging from his word and appearance he seem like a person with good character to Felix.

" Hi... My name Felix Timmer".

The receptionist had bring out the form

"There you go".

" Please fill up all your information and sign at the corner and afterwards take it to the gaint oak tree.".

" Can I also get a room ". Aiden ask.

" Ahh.... I am sorry but all the room has already been book ". The receptionist sincerely apologize.

" Ehh!!... Now where am I supposed to stay till the entrance test." he panic.

Felix remember had one extra bed in his room and decided to offer him.

"Aiden, there is an extra bed in my room do you-".

" Really!! Thank I appreciate it" His eyes sparkle

'He is too easy' Felix thought.

After that.

Inside the room Aiden jump at a bed.

"Finally some rest".

" It's been exhausting traveling in a carriage for two straight day". He sigh.

"Two day? Then where is your hometown then".Felix ask.

" I am from the town of western Vybert".

"What about you".

" Well I'm from a northern village in Glosia".

"Northern Village! It take five day to travel here from the Northern villages and you don't seem a bit tried?".

Felix was surprised to learn that it normally took five day to get here but he knows he only flew for ten minutes. Yeah ten minutes of hell.

" What of course!! I am tired I can't even stand straight see even my clothes are dirty!".

It's not like Felix could say that he flew up from the Northern Village and landed in the forest of Clovia. Poor him.

"Yeah indeed.... Why are your clothes dirty?".

" Well-"

At the right time Felix stomach began to growl.. Then when he realize that he had not eaten anything this morning.

"Wanna go somewhere outside and eat?".Aiden laugh.

" And it's will be my treat for letting me stay here".he said.

"Really.....okay then".

" Well first let's submit our forms then we grab something to eat".

After they filled up the application form and went out.

"Ummm..... All done just need to take it to the gaint oak tree". Said Aiden

" Aiden, what is this about oak tree ". Felix ask

" Wait! You don't know!? ".

" You wanna know more about a remote village boy life.... Huh!".

"Sorry, sorry that not what I mean.. Sorry".

" Well.... It's not about the oak tree but its about the messenger owls that sits there ".

" Every city has one gaint oak tree and peoples used them to send letters anywhere they want ".

" I see so we have to rely on them to submit our application form".

"Yep."

They arrived at the center of the city. Felix was astonish to see the beauty of the gaint oak tree, leafs falling on the ground, birds picking up leafs and the sunshine made the view more beautiful.There where more than fifty owls sitting in the gaint tree and Felix show a person giving a letter to one of the owl and the owl took the letter and flew away.

"Felix here take this.. ".

Aiden gave him some tiny pieces of meat.

" Put your hand forward and saw them you have food ".

Felix did as Aiden told him.

Then two owls flew down and sit on there shoulder. And pick up the meat pieces from there hand. And then Aiden show the owl his form and the owl pick his paper and flew away. Felix aslo did the same.

"Okay then let's go to a local bar"

"Yeah!I have been waiting to hear that".

It's been only a few hours since they have meet but it seems they have become good friends.
