"Remember dear, buy only what is necessary okay, We've sent just enough money into your account, "  Katana said on the phone.

"Right mum, I'm just buying school supplies, how much will it cost?"

"Says our fashion psycho of a daughter" Her father, Hiro said chuckling.

"DAD! I'm 15 ya know"

"Yeah Yeah, Oh, the Estate Agent is here, see you in the afternoon"

"Bye!"  Mizuki says as she cuts the call.

"Now, Starlight Shopping Complex, where can you be," she said looking at the street signs.

"Welcome to Starlight Shopping Complex," A P.A system from a skyscraper said.

"Guess I don't have to say much! Man is it huge!"

◼◼◼◼◼◼

"Alan, it's time for you to go, are you ready"?  says a tall dark cloaked figure.

"Always, ready love" replies Alan in a British accent.

Alan summons a portal from thin air.

"Good luck" wishes Ayana.

◼◼◼◼◼◼

"So where is the school section-------oot" groans Mizuki as she bumped into a tall figure.

"Oh sorry, didn't see u there," Mizuki said, looking up, only for her to make eye contact with a boy, his black hair and blue eyes almost looking abnormal.

"Oh, it's my fault, I'm sorry" He exclaimed

"No worries I guess, hey, do you mind showing me the school supplies section, I'm new here".

"Sure, I'd be happy to, Oh and by the way the name's Alan Miller."

"Mizuki Hiraki," she says as they shake hands.

"Hmmm!, ancient Japanese dialect".

"You know Japan?"

"I've been there once or twice with a friend "

"Cool, now let's shop".

They walked a few steps and staircases before they reached the school section, which was filled with different college and School uniforms,  along with the required stationery.

"Ohh, finally!" Mizuki exclaims

"So, which school do you attend?" Alan asks.

"Oh, I think" Mizuki brings out a white  piece of paper from her duffel bag  "New------ New Castle state Academy!"

"No way, that's the school I'm attending, weird coincidence" replied Alan.

"You know, we should hang out sometime," Mizuki said as they walked to the storekeeper.

"Sure"

"Hello madam, can I get everything on this list?" Mizuki asked.

"Sure, please go wait in the dressing room while I pick out a few uniforms of your size, you can also choose your theme of stationery"

"Okay then!"

                                                         [Later that evening]

"Umm, why am I helping you?" Alan asked as they walked out of the shopping mall, his hands holding 15 shopping bags.

"What are friends supposed to be for---------- after all, I really don't do heavyweights". Mizuki said giggling as they went to a taxi.

"My friend Ayana in Japan usually shops like this, uhh, now I've got her shop phobia" Mizuki kept on blabbering." 

"Ayana-----Ayana Adachi," Alan asked

"Yes---- why and how do you know," Mizuki said shocked.

"Umm, you know, Hiraki--- Suzuki, Adachi. It's a very common last name" Alan said with a deadpanned look.

"Uh-huh"

"Come in Madam, traffic is heavy," said a taxi driver.

"Oh, I almost forgot, thank you, Alan maybe we'll see next week at school," she said putting the shopping bags into the boot.

"Yeah, see ya"

Alan watched Mizuki as the taxi left when they reached a far distance, Alan picked his phone-----

"New Castle Academy, I think you wanna check Centenary underneath" He texted.

"Don't worry dearie, the principal has already improved the tech, Mizuki's coming here next week isn't she?" Someone texted back.

"Yeah"

"See you at the cove, Love you" and the person went offline.

"Soon enough, Mizuki Hiraki, soon enough."

                                            [A week later]

Mizuki was running up and down the staircases at home, her uniform literally wearing out.

"Magical themed stationery ✔ [check]

Textbook ✔ [check]

Hairclips ✔ [check]

blue hourglass ⁉, [where's the freaking hourglass!?"]

"Sweetie, you mean this" her mum said, holding the Antique."

"Yeah, it's a gift from Ayana, thanks mum," Mizuki said as she puts it in her bag.

"Your uniform does look good on you M," Her dad said, about to go to work.

"Thanks" which was true, the black blazer and skirt really mated, along with the white inner shirt.

"Well I'm off," Her father said "Let's go Mizuki"

"Bye mum, see you after school"

"Remember to give your entrance form"

                                            [At school]

Mizuki walked into the great school building, passing hundreds of students, the white paint of the Academy gleaming white.                                                                                                                                            As she walked into the school hall, thousands of lights shining from the ceiling, she bumped into someone.                                                                                                                                                                             "Oh, hey Mizuki," a boy said.                                                                                                                                           Mizuki looked up to see---------,

"ALAN!!, oh the powers you are here, I am so lost"

"Okay----- what grade are you in"

"Grade 10 Emerald I guess"

"Ohh, Just go up the 2nd elevator on the right to the 3rd floor, follow the grade 10 classes until you reach Emerald, that's your class" Alan directed.

"Okay, what are the 1st and 2nd floors for?" Mizuki asked.

"Well-----------" Alan starts, unfortunately, the bell interrupted him.

"There goes the 1st bell, here" he gave her a map of the school building, "this will help you"

"Thanks"

"You're welcome and oh meet me by the illusion---- I mean English charting class by 3:00 pm"

"Okay, isn't that after school"

"Some students have ------- special access during after-school hours, especially people like you," Alan said mysteriously.

"Oh, okay I guess," Mizuki said puzzled as Alan walked away.

                                                [Grade 10 Emerald]

"Grade 10 Emerald, Grade 10 Emerald, where are you?" Mizuki said to herself as she walked down the endless hallway of classes.

"Sapphire, Gold, Platinum, Aluminum, Onyx come on where's Emerald".                                                                She had circled the hallway for about 20 minutes before she gave up.

"Oh come on!" She yelled angrily, hitting herself on a door.  The door opens to see a tall man in a flowing white beard wearing spectacles.

"Miss Hiraki I presume," he said tediously.

"Yeah?----" Mizuki said looking up to him.

"Your 20 mins late"

"I had a hard time looking for the class"

" It isn't hard to miss," he said looking at the door.

Mizuki followed his gaze to see a written Sapphire peeling off the door, revealing the name Emerald. There was also an Emerald stone on the door top.

"Heh, Heh, Heh" Mizuki chuckled nervously.

"Can I enter now?"

" Uhh, if you must," the man said sighing to himself.

Mizuki entered the class to feel eyes on her, she felt vulnerable.

"Class, this is Mizuki Hiraki, a new student entering Grade 10 with all of you, umm, Mizuki can you tell us a little about yourself?"

"Umm,  heh heh, not really, well, I can tell you that I came from Japan, just moved here a few weeks ago, and will really like to get to know you all," she said grinning.

the whole class erupted into applause

"Ok settle down class, no noise". the man said.

"Mizuki, my name is Mr. Shino and--------

"Oh, are you from Japan?" Mizuki interruptedly asked, and the man's face suddenly looked brighter. "Firstly, Miss Hiraki, you do not interrupt an authorized Wis--err--- figure, and second of all---"  Bring her closer for a whisper "Just because you're new, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you"

Mizuki felt shivers on her spine as he said that"Oh crap" She thought.  "Excellent, now class move out, the Biography teacher's waiting"

                                                          [CLOSING HOUR] 

*Bell Rings*

"Aww man, this bag is too heavy" Mizuki whined as she stepped into the hallway, her shoulders cramped.  "Alan did say I should meet him in the English charting class, but that is filled with security," she thought as she got there only to bump into someone.  "Oh sorry" she looked up to see a big burly man in a muscle shirt, with a very dark tan.

"Password"

"Huh?" she asked, confused 

"Password, hand over"

"Oh, it's an object!" she said, rummaging through her bag to find something that might help her.

"Umm, I have a key card"

He looked at her annoyingly, then shook his head.

"Some cash, $300" she then said he shook his head once more.

"Okay, KitKat, I have plenty of chocolate. The man almost gave in but shook his head once again, his face brewing with anger.

  "Oh, what can I use?" Mizuki shouted, Kicking her bag on the floor, and out rolled the hourglass and the hairclip. The man picked them up, looked at her, and then said "Well done kid". He then slotted the hairclip into a little hole on the door, then turned it like a key.  "Access granted" Chimed the door  "Oh, thanks, and where can I find Alan Miller?"

"Go down through the narrow path, turn left where the crystals shine, and then take the tunnel with the symbol of Aries and there you will find him. Good luck Kid." the man said as he pointed the way.

"Thanks," Mizuki said excitedly.  The narrow path was dark and Mizuki could not see then suddenly the blue sand of the hourglass started glowing in the dark and on the walls of the path there were ancient drawings and wall paintings and she waited to read the stories the paintings illustrated:

       A long time ago, we were one with the Aurora, years past and it split into 4 elements: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. Under these elements, other elements were formed and guardians were ordained to protect each element. But chaos destroyed the unity between the Elements of the Aurora and then Raka the leader of Chaos and Destruction stole the 4 elementary jewels which are the sources of the powers of the elements. But can't operate without placing it in the legendary stone bearer, the magic trident, the feather of the mighty Phoenix, and the scale of the Great Dragon. Raka's goal is to use the jewels to unlock his ultimate power and reign over the multiverse.

"Weird story," she thought as she continued to walk through it. After 15 minutes of walking, she saw that the road split into 2, one with dark rocks and the other with Crystals, then she remembered what the man said and followed the crystal path. Through the crystal path, she saw five tunnels, each showing a specific Symbol of the stars which are Aries, Leo, Aquarius, and Gemini, and as the man said she followed the symbol of Aries and there, lean on the pillar, she saw Alan "There you are, I've been waiting for you" Alan said.
