Chapter Text
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, my lovely Lord,
The noble and beautiful flower of evil,
Y ou are the most beautiful, number one in this world.
ーMirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most...
ーFor thee, guided by the Mirror of Darkness,
Follow thy heart and take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror.
Flames that turn even stars into ashes,
Ice that imprison even time,
Great tree that swallow even the sky,
Don't be afraid of the power of darkness,
Come now, show your power.
Mine, theirs, and yours,
There's only little time left for us.
Do not let go of that hand, at all costs.

" And that is the story of krishna great fight with Nakasura " A beautiful girl, with long wavy black hair and soft brown eyes, said closing her book and looking at the little children sitting in front of her " Now...come on everyone time to go home"
"Aww, do we have ?" One of the little boys said " But you have to go home and get ready for Diwali tomorrow...I am sure you are eager to light up fireworks into the sky" That made all the children excited as they all but one hurried home.
"Didi...what about you....aren't you going to go home to prepare for Diwali ?" the kid asked " of course I will with my two brothers," She said
"Who are they?"
"Baiya Krishna and Baiya Shiva," She said holding the two small golden idols in her hand with smiles. The kid giggled before leaving hearing their parents calling them home. " Bye Akshara didi!"
Akshara smiled sadly as the kids ran off to their parents, she lost her parents a few years ago to a landslide accident on their way home. She has been able to handle herself by doing freelancing jobs, scholarships for her studies, and emergency funds but the loneliness was much. Even when her parents were alive, she didn't have friends as she preferred her stories to people. Even if she tried, she would been called a bookworm by her peers
That is when her parents told her stories of the Hindu gods, and she found a strange bond with them, especially Krishna and Shiva. She sees them like her brother watching over her in her lonely moments, never making her feel truly alone.
She smiled at the reminiscing as she walked home holding her idols before the sunset, but she was snapped out when she heard screams coming behind her. When she turned...
All she saw was a carriage before her vision went dark
Knock Knock
"Five more minutes....huh..." Akshara said slowly opening her eyes and seeing herself in a dark place." why is it so dark?" She felt her idols in her hands and after moving them to one arm, she reached out and felt around seeing that she was a box. "A box....does that mean I am not dead....if I was dead I would been burned to go up to heaven...."
"Darn, people will come soon!" A voice from outside the box spoke "I have to wear the uniform, fast..." 'Is someone out there?' She thought "Nggggh!!! This lid is so heavy." The voice said "If it has come to this... gonna have to use my last resort!Ngg.... there!!"
"Why do I smell something burn...HEY SHIVA! FIREEEE!!!" She said freaking out as the lid flew open and see blue fire around her
" Well then, well then, here's our aim...Huh, gyaaaa!!!! You, why are you awake already!?" A cat creature with blue fire on his ears "यह पागल दिखने वाली बिल्ली क्या है?! (WHAT IS THIS CRAZY LOOKING CAT?!)" She screamed
" What are you saying? Whatever..." The cat said " I am the great Grim, you know! Oh, well. You, the human over there. Give me those clothes! Or else... I'll roast you whole!"
"मुझे बचा लो... कोई मुझे बचा लो! ( save me...someone save me) " Akshara screamed running away from Grim. She ran through hallways, corridors, and courtyard and reached a library. Holding onto her idols, she looks around the strange place
" What is this strange place?!" She said before screaming seeing Grim right in front of her "Did you think you could run away from me!? You lowly human!" Grim said "Now, if you don't want to be roasted whole, give me those clothesー"
Suddenly a whip captured Grim making him shriek in pain "Fugya!? It hurts! What's this string!?" Grim screamed "It's not a string. It's the whip of love!" A man dressed strangely wearing a crow mask appeared holding the whip which captured grim 'WHO THE FUCK IS THIS MASQUERADE LOOKING MAN....AND WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT FOR A WHIP!?' Akshara thought looking at the man speechless
"Aah, I finally found you. You're this year's new student, right?" The man said greeting her "That's not good. To arbitrarily get out of the gate! Plus, to have a familiar that you have not tamed yet is against the school rules.
" Let me go~!" Grim yells "I'm not this guy's familiar!"
" Yes, yes, every rebellious familiar says that. Let's be quiet for a while, shall we?" She said snapping his fingers and making grim's mouth shut "Mmmgh, mmgh!"
"Really. It's unheard of for new students to arbitrarily opening the door and come out by themselves." The man said "Sigh... how impatient are you? Come, come, the opening ceremony started long ago. Let's go to the Mirror Chamber." He pushed her out as they walked through the library
"Hold on...new student? And what door? that freaky box I was forced out of" She said " Well yes...It's the room where you woke up - the room with a lot of doors lining up. Every student that enrolled in this room went through that door to come here. Usually, students don't wake up until we open the door with a special key, but..." The man said
" Mine was tossed away in flames," She said " It seems that in the end, the main culprit is this familiar." He said holding a grim "If you brought him here, then look after him responsibly."
"But he is not..." "...Oh! It wasn't the time for a lengthy talk. If we don't quickly go, we'll miss the opening ceremony. Come, come, we're going." He said grabbing her" Wait a damn minute! what is this place that looks like a haunted castle and who are you ?! Why are you dressed like you are going for a masquerade ?" she said
" These are my normal clothes no need to be rude," The man said "I wonder if, perhaps, your memories are in disorder because of the space transportation magic...Oh well. It happens a lot, after all. I will explain to you as we walk. I am kind, after all." He said as they entered the courtyard" This is 'Night Raven College'. It's a place where magicians with exceptional talents gather, Twisted Wonderland's most prestigious magician training academy. And I am the headmaster supervising this academy under the board chairman, Dire Crowley."
"Hold up...magicians?!" Akshara said, "As in real magic?" 'His name has the word crow in it....he wearing a crow mask....what kind of coincidence is this shit?' she thought
"The only ones who could enroll in this school are with those excellent qualities as a magician, the ones who have been approved by the 'Mirror of Darkness'.The chosen ones are called into this academy through the 'door', from all over the world. In your place, too, surely a black carriage carrying a 'door' came to pick you up."
'Carriage? Horses....wait a second...THAT CARRIAGE RAN ME OVER ME AND MY BROTHERS!!! DID THAT THING JUST FUCKING KIDNAP ME???' Akshara said now pissed that she is gotten kidnapped ' WHAT KIND OF WATTPAD FIC IS THIS?! WHAT IS NEXT? I AM THE ONLY GIRL IN AN ALL-BOYS SCHOOL??!'
"That black carriage is intended to pick up the new students chosen by the Mirror of Darkness.
It is a special carriage carrying the door that leads to the academy." Crowley said "From time immemorial, it has been decided by conventional wisdom that carriages are used for pick-ups on special occasions, am I right?
"I was kidnapped by a carriage" Akrasha muttered still in shock as Grim was struggling to get free "Come, we're going to the opening ceremony now." Crowley said walking ahead!"
" BY THE GREAT MAHADEVA I WAS KIDNAPPED!! OI GET BACK HER CROW MAN!!" She said chasing after him
"ALSO WHAT THE FUCK I AM WEARING?!"
