Hezago was enjoying a lovely view when two random people decided that this was the best time to throw themselves through the open window. One of them, a girl, stood up and started dusting herself off.

"Phew! Sorry about that. My Name's Avada, Nice to meet you!" Hezago looked at them in concern. "Nice to meet you too...?" The boy who had crashed along with her stood up and rolled his eyes. "Yep. Just ignore me and watch me go flying through the window." The boy muttered. "You know, I don’t really care." Avada said, frowning.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFqi5lJ9Ypt
"Of course you don't. Anyways, my name is Eathan, what's yours?" Hezago looked at him apprehensively, but his face softened duly. "The name’s Hezago," He replied, still concerned, "And I'm Zack, '' Zack said, smiling cherrily. "Good! Great! Fantastic! Now, if you don't mind, I'll have to go put our luggage up and take care of a few things, ‘ight?" Avada asked, in which they responded by nodding. "Perfect."

A few minutes later, Another person came In through the door, hair in a frenzy. "Phew," She muttered. "Please tell me this is the right place." She said, breathing heavily. She looked up, a number sixteen showing up and then promptly disappearing. "Oh thank goodness!" she muttered, sitting herself down.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAiGPgpL4cvO
She dropped her luggage to the ground and took a deep breath. "I hate this..." she muttered. "Er- if i may ask, who are you?" Eathan said, walking into the room. "My name is-” She paused. “Elenora." she replied, breathingheavily.

Anyway, soon after they had gotten themselves situated, the train appeared to speed up rather noticeably, which was pretty strange, especially after noticing the fact that the train was heading downwards. That was rather odd. Hezago thought. Trains, unless celestial or Dust V, did not speed up when going down a hill, and although this train was chugging through the bright blue sky, the same principles should apply here, as it was only a normal flying train.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAbnkbXFPmsm
Except that it wasn’t.
178Please respect copyright.PENANApesWKOoE0F
Apparently, due to the fact that Hezago was not paying attention, they had already flown through the Gulf of Mexico, and had already arrived at Havana. They were now going towards the Havana Station Square at an alarming speed, heading straight towards the ground.
178Please respect copyright.PENANANUFmvF5RhF
The ground.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAhbaghNryZA
Hezago, although knowing this was normal with flying trains, he couldn’t help but panic. After all, the council destroyed his Borearcis, and he was limited to chariot travel, which did not go through the ground at 298.72 miles per hour.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAtfb7vULyrk
Panic was the mood of the room when it randomly went dark and then light again, and by the time the train came to a screeching halt, It was to great relief. A voice only Avada and Eathan seemed to recognise filled the room, speaking.

"Hello, It's Professor Michelton here, it would be very appreciated if you all yes, you too Mark, depart the train, and get your school supplies, thank you very much." the speakers said, and cut out. A good while later, the group left the train, to be met with an unpleasant surprise. A random boy they'd come to know as Vicktor at some point, had just sent a squirrel flying.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAdrSo6oPHGB
Turns out he was having a duel with a certain someone who should at the moment be in jail, but wasn’t.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAp93SoBCn0x
For the love of Sol, it was Mark Joansen.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAluLLwhKxg0
(what type of name is that?)
178Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Dfn2kIw2
Anyways, ignoring the fact that it was the most bland name to ever exist, he proved to have an unnecessarily deadly attitude. If you were to get in his way, he could leave you without an ear. At some point he was bound to go too far, so when that did happen he was sent to-
178Please respect copyright.PENANADxc8dBNRFy
well-
178Please respect copyright.PENANAcCT66qSxKf
jail. At this moment, he was being beaten back by this other boy, that is, until Hezago got in the way. He was blasted back with a beam of light emanating from said boy’s wand, and a sharp hint of pain from the other side. Hezago went tumbling into Mark, straight onto the rails.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAVhPHhyW5s4
Other than the ugly roach that was on top of him, Hezago notice something that was rather odd, even in this magiking world. The little but fast blue engine that was leading this expressway had a face. A face that suited it, yes, but nonetheless a face. It turned to look at them.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFSI6dE7fr8
"Mark! This is the third time today, alone! Get yourself together and go back to the station!" Mark grumbled and left, mumbling some rather obscene words my lawyer had advised me not to say. Hezago breathed heavily, disappointed in Mark’s idiocy, stupidity, and his unintelligent tendency to do the maniacal. Anyway, moving on!
178Please respect copyright.PENANA7oOYXE53Jy
"Oh! Hello, sorry about that, Mark is a… troubled child." the train said. Hezago nodded In agreement. "Yeah, and there's more to that, apparently." Hezago muttered, wishing he had something to rid him of the stink that was now on him. "Well, It's nice to meet you, my name is Professor Michelton, yours?"
178Please respect copyright.PENANAa36dEtRz4X
Hezago smiled, this Mitchelton person was nice. "Hezago." He replied. "Ah!” He said, pausing, and then spoke again. “Lovely name, but I think you ought to get going, you only have so much time to get your things." Hezago smiled, then nodded, preparing to depart.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAA4JprMg4lH
"Very well then! I'll see you Later!" "M’kay!" Hezago replied, and left for the station.
178Please respect copyright.PENANA71ZzVKE7ww
He climbed up the stairs to find a red faced Mark waiting for him. "You." Mark said. Pointing a stubby finger at his chest. "Mhm?" Hezago said, taking notice of this. "You're going to regret embarrassing me like that!" Hezago rolled his eyes. "Oh really? Please, try." Mark was notorious for starting fights for the least sensible reasons, and this appeared to be one of those times.
178Please respect copyright.PENANA1LjGAby0hN
Hezago sighed, realising that he would have to deal with Mark's irrational behaviour once again. He decided to remain calm and composed, hoping to diffuse the situation before it escalated any further. "Oh, I’ll show you!"
178Please respect copyright.PENANAqAMOtaD1Ts
"Really? What are you going to do about it? Try to fight me? I extremely doubt you have the nerve."
178Please respect copyright.PENANACsHsPKM9RP
Mark growled like the brute he was. "Ohh, I will kill you." He attempted to grab him by the shirt, but Hezago snatched his wrist before he could. Hezago maintained his calm demeanour as he twisted Mark's wrist, causing a very interesting grunt of pain. Mark clenched his teeth in agony, determined not to show any signs of weakness. "Try me." Hezago said, smiling kindly.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAwOFGurGSMy
Hezago's smile only intensified Mark's anger. With a burst of adrenaline, Mark lunged forward, attempting to tackle Hezago to the ground. However, Hezago effortlessly sidestepped the attack, leaving Mark sprawled on the floor in defeat. He went aside to join Zack, who was just staring.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAuE8lMPsZJf
"Now what on earth was that? '' He asked, and received a simple smile. "Let's get on our way." Hezago said, the two would then go along into what was The Hollenz-Fennia plaza, according to a nearby sign, and find a wonderfully humongous yet looming and somewhat threatening castle waiting for them.
178Please respect copyright.PENANABafWdSBY4b
There was an abundance of creatures doing their business, such as pixies and fairies arguing, goblins complaining about humans, said humans bartering for goods, ponies and unicorns walking their kids, and many, many, other not normally sentient creatures.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAAsqaftlLka
The castle that stood before them was an ancient style building, with turrets spanning as far as the eye can see. There were cannons and flags here and there, either in the windows or the turrets. The building was apparently proposed as a bank, which was a very interesting choice once taking into account the interior of the castle.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAumIzXC3Dqi
The building was floorless with an infinite void beneath, except for a few absurdly humongous tiles here and there, serving as one of the only walkable areas in the building.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAX530V3d4aM
The two stepped onto one of those humongous tiles that chose to come near them, and stepped on it, careful not to fall to their end. The thing steamed and cranked and lifted the two, halfway across the room, where an extremely grumpy goblin was waiting for them at his desk. "Name?" The goblin grunted. "Hezago Borealis." Hezago said, smiling unnecessarily. "Zackariah Sodoneess." Zack responded. The goblin then typed something in on a computer that did not seem to be there before.
178Please respect copyright.PENANA2QIgYo5w3D
"Very well then," the goblin said, snarling, "Off you go." The platform under them split apart and sent them both their separate ways, with Hezago's going upward but slightly to the right, and Zack's going downward but slightly to the left.
178Please respect copyright.PENANA8rrrBGhwxI
Hezago's platform would soon lead him to a similarly floorless hallway and to a very large door at the end of it. It had a single eye piercing diamond on it, and a very magnificent collection of opals surrounding it. The door opened upon the arrival of Hezago and led him toward a singular door in the centre.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAPlTzy7bCnY
There was a singular hand print in it, pulsing as if waiting for someone.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAfFr3SlX9bX
Hezago cautiously placed his hand on the pulsing handprint, seeing a surge of energy emanate from the door. As he did so, the door began to emit a soft glow, revealing intricate symbols etched into its surface. It was quite clear that this door held secrets beyond the imagination. The room spun, literally, and a large collection of valuables appeared.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAc126jVZR0K
But the weirdest of things to appear here was a singular umbrella.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAFlrdbRlp9H
Gold and black, it shone like no other, yet was as dark as the pits of Gloria.
178Please respect copyright.PENANAoWNKbrteUD
The floor soon materialised, allowing hezago to depart the platform. As soon as he did, he went toward the umbrella that was rather furiously spinning on its tip. He grabbed a hold of it, and-178Please respect copyright.PENANAEsp9RVjh06
