Chapter 1
"Dawn!..... Dawn!" screamed a girl from afar with a voice that is so angelic that even flowers will bloom just to hear it. As I open my eyes I can see a blur that was too hard to see yet can be imagined as a woman with long fair white hair with a rope that shines so bright that made me cover my eyes for a second. As I feel the light starting to fade, I retook a quick glance again, but she disappeared.
I woke up and thought to myself "It was just a dream..." as I rub my eyes.
I went downstairs while still thinking about my dream. I couldn't figure out what was the meaning of it. But I thought to myself that maybe it was nothing, but just a dream. "Dawn! Kain na! Malate ka sa school mo! (It's time to eat! You'll get late for school!)" My mother calls me as I sit down at the dining table with her, my father, and my older brother. "Have to go-" said my older brother, Jencks as he went outside. "Wait for me!" I called out as I followed him to his car.
I looked at him from head to toe, I noticed that he was too stylish for school. "Kuya (Big brother) Jencks, are you going somewhere either than school?" I asked him. He answered nervously "No...". I could tell that he was lying. "Well good luck with your date!" I told him in a sarcastic tone. "Okay fine.. I'm not going on a date, I'm going to audition for a famous entertainment agency". "Again?! Right you audition on some agency last year in Hong Kong?" I asked him with curiosity. "Yes, but I didn't get in last summer so I'm auditioning now for a new agency in Korea." He replied. "Oh! Okay then good luck!" I wished him luck. "Don't need, your big brother got this!" He said with confidence.
As we arrived at my school, everyone was staring at us. "This is so embarrassing..." I whisper to myself with embarrassment. "Wow, I didn't know that you were famous at your School," Jencks said while finding the entrance to stop the car. "I'm not... You are." I said while still hiding from the window of the car. "Don't be silly!" He laughed as he didn't want the attention. As the car stopped I immediately got out and waved goodbye without looking back.
"Hey!" I screamed as I suddenly bumped into someone. I looked up and saw a tall boy with hair brown as the trees and sea-green colored eyes that caught my attention immediately. He also had a scar on his right lower cheek. "I am very sorry, my lady," the boy said as he helps me up "Are you okay?".
"I'm okay, thank you..." I answered. "Thank goodness" he smiled then looks around as if he was looking for something or someone. "Are you looking for something?" I asked him. "Oh yes my lady, may you help me? If it's no burden for you" he said with such a polite tone. "No! it's okay, I'll love to help!" I said with excitement. I didn't really know why I was excited, but I just got a weird yet familiar feeling around him.
"Where may I find your oldest tree?" He asked as he was sure of his question.
"Oldest tree?" I asked with confusion. "Yes, my lady" He replied. Why does he want to find the oldest tree? I thought and thought while rubbing my head. Then suddenly I remembered the school's oldest and biggest tree in the middle of the campus. "I know where it is!" I claimed with joy. "Remarkable! May you lead the way?" he said again with a polite tone. "Can this guy be any polite?" I thought to myself. As we were walking towards the main campus, I softly poke his shoulder and asked "What's your name by the way?". He looked surprised at first then smiled and replied "Louis Keendar III at your service, my lady" he then bows in front of me. I was so confused and shocked at what he did. "May I ask yours?" He then asked. "Umm... Dawn Dizon the first I guess" we both giggled.
As we arrived on the main campuses, I saw a familiar tall and silver-white hair boy wearing a beanie that covers his whole ears. He had pale white skin and eyes that were blue as the sky. He looked like a wise man that was waiting for someone while both hands were held on his back.
"Alvar!-" Louis called out the pale boy. "Louis, Where in Litber have you been?" He asked with a proper and calm voice. "I apologize, I got lost when you were explaining to me about e-a-rath," Louis said giggling while scratching the back of his head. "It's Earth, Louis.." He corrected him. "I apologize," Louis said looking at the guy then to me, then back to him. "OH!-" Louis remembered "This is lady Dawn Dizon, she helped me on my journey to find you". He looked shocked and asked "Dawn Dizon? You're Dawn Dizon?!".
"Umm yeah," I answered in a confused tone. "Significant work Louis!!!-" He praised him. "Pleased to meet you, Dawn Dizon, I am Alvar Lightstar of Elvodor" he introduced himself while he grabbed my hand and kiss it. "We finally meet again..." he suddenly looked sad as if he finally found something that he had lost for a long time. "Sorry but, do I know you?" I asked while looking into his very familiar eyes. Everything suddenly went blurred and I felt dizzy, as if the world is turning around and around, and around- went black.
"Dawn...Dawn..." cried out the same angelic voice from my dream. "Who are you?!" I cried out loud, hoping for an answer. "Dawn... Diana..." she suddenly said someone's else name. "Who's Diana?" I taught myself. An imagine suddenly appeared again but was still blurred. I could see that the women were starting to fade away again, I screamed "Wait! Wait!-".
"Wait!" I screamed and reached out my hand as I woke up in an unfamiliar place. I looked around and realized that I am sitting on the comfiest bed that I ever sat on, with the softest silky blanket covering my lap to my feet.
"Are you okay darling?" An unfamiliar voice asked me. I turned to my left and saw an old woman with gray and white frizzy hair, with long fingers and nails. "She almost looks like a witch" I taught myself. She tries to comfort me but I immediately moved away. She got surprised and looked at me worried. "Tell Alvar, she's awake," the woman said to a guy that was wearing white armor. "He looks like a knight" I taught myself again. On my right, suddenly a tall pale, with long silver-white hair and sky-blue eyes, wearing tunics paired with breeches and covered by a long rope, the boy came inside. "Alvar!?" I remembered. A guy with not too long brown hair, with sea-green eyes and a scar on his lower right cheek, wearing a half-white armor followed in. "It's Louis!" I remembered as well. And Lastly, a familiar guy with black short hair and brown eyes, wearing also half-white armor came inside. "It's my brother! Kuya Jencks!" I yelled with joy. He rushed to me and hugged me tight "Thank God for your okay!" he said with relief.
"What happened?" I asked while scratching my head.
Jencks hold my hand and told me " Dawn... remember when I went somewhere for summer before my senior high?". "Ummm.. yes, you went to Baguio for 4 months" I replied. "Well I didn't go to Baguio, the truth is I went here for summer..." he honestly said. It explains everything, I knew he was a bright student so I don't know why he was getting summer classes from senior high to college. "Wait?! Nasaan ba Tayo? (Where are we?)" I asked him as I was panicking.
"Clam down dawn... We are at Litber's Canterlot High. This is where I've been every summer since senior high-" he explained while calming me down. "It's a school for unique creatures and people that have special skills all around the universe. It's located in a faraway galaxy name Polermas, and a planet name Litber, where all creatures are free to exercise their skills," he explained.
"Do you prefer a tour, my lady?" Louis asked me as he puts his hand on Jencks's shoulder. "Sure.." I answered. Jencks and the old woman helped me get out of bed. "Sorry about the way I react a while ago" I apologized to her. "It's okay darling, I'm used to it" she replied with a soft voice. As I was reaching for Louis's hand, I accidentally slipped, but before I could fall in embarrassment Alvar caught me. "Thank you.." I thanked him then giggled. "You should be more careful..." Alvar said with a cold tone, I felt like I was being scolded. "Okay...Sorry?" I replied confused about why he was acting like that. Jencks then took my hand from Alvar's hand, "Don't mind him, he's always like that" Jencks whispered to me.
"Bye Miss Paula! Thank you again!" Jencks thanked the old woman. I then quickly turned around and thanked her too "Thank you miss- Paula". "No problem, darlings" she replied.
