“My God…” said Barbara as she looked around at the “moon elf” school head mistress, the other mythical creatures who where going around getting meals like it was a normal dinning hall. Some of them were looking at her confused and she overheard one or two asking why she hadn’t dropped the spell to change back. That confused her then a grin crossed the face. “Ok…who had this bright idea?”
“Excuse me?” asked Head Mistress La Fay in confusion
“Where are the cameras? I don’t know who did the make up for you all and whoever did the outfits did an amazing job as well, but I am not buying this crap.” Said Barbara as she got out of her seat and started to walk toward the door.
No one attempted to stop her as she walked outside to find the sky had turned dark with the coming nightfall however, she stopped in her tracks as she looked up. The sky was a dark blue with just a hint of yellow in the distance, however the moon was full which wouldn’t have been odd but there where three of them. One was massive while the other two where smaller and she could see in the distance another planet, this one looking like a smaller version of Saturn with two rings
She just stopped mouth wide open as a roar filled the air and two large dragons came out of nearby mountains and flew off.
“This isn’t a joke, you aren’t being punked, this is real we are in a magical world which sits in a pocket dimension boarding your human world.” Explained Head Mistress La Fay “This is our world and once you graduate from our school it will be your home too. You will learn our ways as well as getting an education and once you graduate you will…”
“Wait…how could this be real?” inquired Barbara “How could you get away with this without anyone noticing?”
“Easy, we have schools like this across the world and no government cares about orphan kids or young adults as long as they don’t have to deal with them.” Stated Head Mistress La Fay “They are just happy not to have to pay to house them and once they leave our school as long as no one causes trouble it works.”
Barbara was about to say that was impossible that someone had to notice, but she was a child of the system she knew she was right.
“And before you think of running to the human authorities, remember it is Friday night we return to that word on Monday 8am, that is in 111 hours. No one would believe you even if you were to return now.” Stated Head Mistress La Fay “Also with the court order you will be arrested and brought either to jail who will not believe you or we be sent to our youth/young adult mental hospital and…”
“And end up back here.” Stated Barbara
“Yes.” Stated La Fay “I will not say this will not be a hard journey for you, you will have a lot of changes happen to you but what sort of life do you think you could have in the human world?”
Barbara thought about it, the best she could hope for was working a dead-end job. She had graduated from High School and had good grades, As and Bs with one C but she couldn’t afford college. The best she could do was some dead-end job, find some man she and pop out some kids and die. That was the best, worse she ends up like her mother a druggie likely a hooker who dies of either an STD or murdered all the while being slapped around by a pimp.
“So, what are you going to do?” inquired Barbara
“Get your test results.” Stated La Fay “And go from there.”
Two hours later Barbara sat in Headmistress La Fay office looking out the window at the university grounds. She was trying to wrap her mind around what she was looking at, she saw centaurs walking down a path while somehow a mermaid swam beside him. A patch of water appeared around her as she swam forward before disappearing behind her. A cat women came walking out of a nearby building carrying a stack of books, while a couple of fairies flew by the window. She saw a cyclops couple walking hand in hand shaking the ground with each step. She saw a group of different creatures dressed like they were heading out for a club heading toward the gate. In the distance she saw a few lights of a city, a city full of mythical creatures she assumed.
“This is impossible.” Stated Barbara as the doors opened as Headmistress La Fay walked back in carrying a file. She moved and sat down across from Barbara who took her seat across from her. The office was semi normal, there was even a computer sitting on the desk.
“We have the results of the test.” Explained Head Mistress La Fay as she pushed the file across. “This is the list of creatures you are best fitted to become, along with some information to help you decide.”
“I get to pick?” inquired Barbara as she took the file.
“Yes, this is an advisory list, but you can choice to go against it. Every human is different so is every creature you can be a shy succubus or a horny angel just like any human. Those are the extremes and you are more likely to find a shy angel then a shy succubus, but you get the idea.” Stated La Fay “If you wish our spells can change your gender if you should wish it. We don’t press that idea. We are more liberal in our sexual identity and freedoms here, gay, straight, lesbian, poly makes no matter to us. We want the population and for you to help grow our society.”
“How long do I have to decide?” inquired Barbara as she looked at the file without opening it.
“Not long.” Answered La Fay
