fanfiction Fate the winx saga : Tecna's arrival chapter 1
1
Alfea. School for the best of the best. Filled with
top students hailing from every corner of Solaria, Eraklyon and Linphea. It was
the school for the best and yet no student of the city-state of Zenith had ever
been accepted.
No wonder, Tecna thought as she saw the building from
afar. They must truly loath technology if they preferred to keep this outdated building
instead of the high-tech east wing Tecna’s father offered to build in exchange
for three admissions. But alas, they preferred to keep one style. Old and
forgotten. Just like their old headmistress who used to be dead but had
miraculously risen from the dead.
A bad feeling grew in Tecna’s stomach. The feeling was
almost as bad as that one time when she accidentally used a faulty computer
chip on her laptop.
She straightened her back and accelerated her purple windrider until she could feel
the wind blow past the small antennas on her helmet as she entered through the
Alfea gate and saw that the
school grounds were filled to the brim with fairies and specialists, all of
whom had several suitcases with them. a disappointing feeling grew in Tecna’s
stomach as she looked at them.
Where was the magic or the technology? Tecna wondered
as she snapped her fingers and the round discs carrying her luggage flew right
behind her.
The fairies and specialists all turned to look at her.
Their mouths fell open as they stared at her.
Had they never seen a windrider before? She wondered
as she snapped her fingers again and the windrider locked and went to park
itself in a free space next to the big entrance and the eyes of all of the
people gathered there grew even wider as they looked on.
A satisfied smile formed on Tecna’s face as her
luggage followed closely until one of the teachers came up to her and greeted
her. well, asking for her name and then ordering her to follow him counted as a
greeting. The teacher didn’t introduce himself, but Tecna knew who he was. His dark
blond hair that stood up straight. His beard that matched his hair and the pride,
or was it arrogance, that he carried himself with. Andreas of Eraklyon. There
was no doubt about it. Saul Silva was still in prison and Ben Harvey sure as
hell didn’t have the muscles that this man packed. Not only that, but everyone
knew his face, even in such a secluded city state as Zenith. He was former
royalty. The kind of royalty that married into the family but royalty none the
less. Crown princess Samara’s husband, who, like his master, turned out not to
be so dead after all.
“You will be meeting Rosalind first,” he said as he
made a way through the crowd of students. It wasn’t hard for him, every student
made way for him. The only one that didn’t was a tall blond guy with spikes in
his hair, just like Andreas, albeit younger but the look in their eyes was the
same. They both looked like they wanted to fight each other.
Drama, Tecna’s mother had warned her before she left.
This school was full of it. Rosalind and Andreas were just a few examples.
“Out of my way, Sky,” Andreas said with a gruff voice
as he looked at him with a tilted head.
“I need to talk with you.”
“And I need to bring her to Rosalind,” Andreas said as
his eyes scanned the crowd of students who were all too busy pretending to be
busy talking with each other.
“Who is she? Another one of your adopted daughters?”
Sky asked and Tecna could see the muscles in his neck tense up as he had asked
the question.
“Move out of the way, Sky. I will talk to you later,”
Andreas said as he tilted his head to the side. His body language was relaxed.
The only thing that betrayed his annoyance was the look on his face at the
thought of delaying Rosalind’s orders.
“Why can’t we do this now?” Sky asked as he took a
step forward.
“Rosalind’s orders can’t wait,” Andreas said as he
pushed past Sky and kept on walking.
“I am not his daughter, but I’m guessing that the two
of you don’t have a good relationship,” Tecna said as she looked at the hurt
specialist.
“No shit, sherlock,” Sky said abruptly as he turned
away from Tecna and walked away, with a redheaded fairy following in his steps
and realization hit her. No wonder why Zenith kept such a distance from the
other realms. They were quite touchy when it came to the truth.
“Please don’t take it personally. There is a lot of
backstory to all of that,” a soft voice said. Soft but decisive as the blonde
fairy checked the way her hair laid in her hand mirror.
“Why should I feel offended? Combine a stern and
absent father with a teenage boy that looked up to his dead hero dad, only to
be disappointed by the father he truly was. Classic Daddy issues,” Tecna said
as she realized who she was talking to.
Crown princess Stella of Solaria, the princess who blinded
her best friend under unknown circumstances. Publicly it was declared that it
was because the poor girl had dared to look at Sky too long. Privately however,
nothing was known in Zeniths database.
“Well, I like you,” Stella said. “Not the things you
said about Sky, but the frankness you said it with.,” Stella said as she
extended her hand.
“I am Tecna. Exchange student from Zenith and I am
guessing that you are crown princess Stella,” Tecna said as she took her hand
and quite awkwardly shook it and by the whispers and the stares that surrounded
them, it seemed that Stella quite rarely extended her hand towards anyone.
“Don’t mind them. They’re not staring at you. They believe
that I don’t have it in me to be nice,” Stella said with a gorgeous smile to
hide her disappointment.
“I suppose sharing a room with the first fairy, who
transformed here in centuries does not help them see past the facade you put up,
but instead makes them redirect their attention.”
“Especially not since she is now dating my ex. They
are all waiting to see me react,” Stella said as she sighed and looked at the
people surrounding them. “You should go and follow Andreas. Despite how much it
displeases me, he was right about something. Rosalind’s orders are best not to
be delayed.”
Tecna nodded in gratitude as she said her goodbyes and
disappeared into the crowd to follow Andreas of Eraklyon and as she kept
looking for him, she couldn’t help but think of her mother. She was right. All
this was much worse than using a faulty computer chip. Her laptop could be
fixed using some magic or with Digit’s help. These people, these fairies and
specialists on the other hand seemed much harder to crack than any code she had
ever deciphered. She could still hear the whispers about Stella, sky and the
fairy who transformed. She heard them all talking and laughing and yet the people
who had previously laughed and gossiped about Stella soon changed their tone
once she joined their group and Tecna quickly made a mental note not to become
friends with those fairies, it would only delay her mission and the quicker
that was done, the quicker she could go home.
She had only just finished her train of thought when
she finally found Andreas again as he was waiting for her at the entrance.
“Let’s go,” he said as he turned and opened the doors.
She followed him all the way to Rosalind’s office where he instructed her to
enter first, he followed her and closed the door behind them.
“You are Tecna, I suppose?” A clear voice called out
to her from behind the desk. Tecna looked around her. There were books
everywhere, spellbooks, most likely, but she couldn’t help but think of the
archive system they used in Zenith and how it could benefit this big mess of books
and scrolls as well and this wasn’t even the library, she thought to herself as
she stepped forwards.
“Yes, that’s me,” she said as she looked Rosalind in
the eyes.
“I trust that your travel here was quite comfortable?”
she said and Tecna could feel an invisible force try to push against her mind.
She quickly shook it off and nodded as she answered.
“Yes of course.”
Rosalind’s eye narrowed and a frown appeared on her
forehead.
“I hope that you feel quite welcome here. You will be
rooming with the most revered fairy that graces this school at the moment so
that you might learn from each other,” Rosalind said as she gave her a key and some
flyers concerning the school rules. “I have to say that this is the first time
that Alfea has ever hosted a fairy and a specialist from Zenith, but where is
the other specialist?”
“I don’t know. He was supposed to arrive half an hour
ago, but he will most likely be here soon,” Tecna said as she shrugged. How
could she know anything about the other students’ whereabouts, she wondered.
“You don’t know him?” Rosalind asked with a surprised
look. “I would think that two students from such a small city-state would know
each other.
She clenched her fists as she felt another invisible push
against her mind. She smiled and shrugged her shoulders again. “There are
several schools in Zenith. Besides I was mostly homeschooled.”
Rosalind sighed as she gave up her attempts of probing
Tecna’s mind. “I suppose that is to be expected for the daughter of Zeniths chancellor.”
She nodded towards Andreas to let her out as she continued on in her paperwork.
Andreas guided her towards her new room where her
suitcases were waiting for her.
“This is the suite. Classes start tomorrow,” he said
before leaving her to her own devices.
She opened the door and saw a common room with several
sofas in the middle. She looked around and saw several doors with names on
them. Bloom and Aisha were written on one door. Terra and Musa on the next.
Stella had a room all to herself and on the last door, her name alongside Flora
was written.
She walked towards the door and saw that one half of
the room was completely empty whilst the other was filled to brim with flowers,
plants and books that were once again filled with flowers and plants.
She walked towards the empty bed where a card with her
name was put on top. She flicked her fingers, and her suitcases opened
themselves and all of the stuff she had with her flew in the right spot she had
in mind for them. She flicked with her other hand and the suitcases soon
started shrinking until they had the side of a toy and put themselves away.
The suitcases had only just put themselves away when
she heard stumbling and mumbling coming from the common room.
On the other side of the glass door, a girl with
beautiful brown curls smiled at the joke of a shorter girl with an infectious
laugh.
She put on her glasses and let her gadget give her the
confirmation.
They were indeed earth fairy’s and had yet not
unlocked the ability to tap into other elements. What were they teaching at
this school that a second-year student was not even able to use at least one
other element? If they were so eager to create a caste system concerning magic,
then they should at least be able to master at least two before going to the
second year. She sighed. There must be something else they were able to teach
me, Tecna thought as she stared absentmindedly into her purple mini laptop’s screen
to see If she had any messages from the other student that came from Zenith.
Nothing.
She sighed and closed the laptop. It was time to go
and introduce herself to her suitemates. She dreaded it but alas. She needed
allies if she wanted to find out more about Rosalind and the fairy that
transformed.
She grinned to herself at the thought alone. The fairy
that transformed. How could all the fairies in this school call themselves a fairy
if they had never even transformed. But then again, the transformation had been
lost to most of the realms of the Otherworld for over 150 years. Which meant
that these fairies could never miss the wind in their wings, or the extra power
that a transformation would give them. the freedom to fly anywhere and not get
tired. The outfit that made Tecna truly feel herself. If you never had it, then
you couldn’t miss it, Tecna thought to herself as she opened the door to the
common room and introduced herself. But soon she would find a way to bring the
transformation back to the rest of the Otherworld. She would surely make her parents
proud.
