Daniel lost track of how long they had been on the sword. It could have been hours before an island came into view. The island was not all that impressive at first. It was like a rough green patch at the edge of the blue sea. As they got closer, Daniel was awed by what he saw. There were high mountains full of trees and long beaches white and bright under the sun. As they flew over the island, Daniel thought this must be what a real fairyland was like. There were streams running among hills. Waterfalls and deep ponds could be found everywhere. At times, he caught glimpses of exotic animals. At one point, he thought he saw a dragon jumping out of the water but the sword was moving too fast to be sure. Blue roofs and eaves could be seen among trees. There was laughter coming from the buildings. A couple of boys who looked a few years older than Daniel flew by. They were saluting Alverdine.
The sword descended to a garden by a small lake. In the middle of the lake was a tiny island. A pavilion took up most of the island. It was surrounded by blooming flowers Daniel had never seen before. On one tree, all the flowers were of different colors. Some flowers emitted lights like small lanterns. A long bridge connected the island to the lakeshore. Carp of the most brilliant colors were swimming under the water lilies. Elegant cranes strolled on the shallow lakeshore. The lake was surrounded by hills. Huge trees resided on the slopes of the hills. There were roots hanging down from the branches like beards. Where the roots entered the ground, smaller trees grew up. Deer were chasing each other under the trees. A huge building stood regally on the hill. Smaller buildings were scattered here and there. Some were behind the trees with only part of their roofs visible.
When Alverdine called off the charm, warm air rushed in. Daniel felt a moment
of dizziness, although it was not an uncomfortable feeling. He took a look
around. There were students everywhere. Some were lying on the grass reading or
talking to each other. Some were walking their pets. Daniel had only seen some
of the pets in the TV fairy tales, and he knew quite well those on TV were
special effect creations.
“Welcome to Jade Island and the Evergreen academy,” said Alverdine. “This is
where you are going to live and study.”
There were hundreds of questions on Daniel’s mind, but he didn’t know which one to ask first or whether it was appropriate to ask. He was wondering if his parents had been here. Were they both immortals? And why did his father want him to live a mortal life? He had just touched the surface of immortal life. It seemed far more exciting and convenient. It was hard to imagine that anyone would give up an immortal life for a mortal one. He was also worried about how he was going to fit in. Life in his old school hadn’t been easy. He was an easy target just because the way he looked and dressed. He believed that there was a much bigger gap between him and any student in this school. There was no way that he could escape being picked at if there was any similarity between immortal and mortal teenagers. Above all, he worried about his dad.
“You don’t have to worry. Everything is going to be fine.” Alverdine seemed to be able to read his mind. At this point, Daniel wouldn’t be surprised if that was true, which also made him a little uneasy. If everyone here was able to read his mind, it would be like walking around naked or worse.
“You don’t have to worry about that either,” said Alverdine. “Not everyone
has this particular power. In fact, it’s quite rare. And I’m very sorry. I
certainly didn’t try to do it on purpose—I could pick up your thoughts, because
you are new to everything and your mind is so unguarded from the initial shock.”
They were walking down a road that went up the hill. There were trees on both
side of the road. The braches connected on the top, which made the road feel
like a tunnel. Alverdine had to stop many times to respond to the greetings from
the students passing by.
“I think the first thing that you need now is some rest,” said Alverdine.
“We’ll deal with other things later. Ah, and here is the perfect person to show
you to your dorm.”
He was referring to a girl walking towards them. From the way she looked, she
was about two or three years older than Daniel. She wore a long skirt, which
made her waist look small. She had long brown hair flowing down her back. Her
eyes were big and expressive. They had the same color of the willow leaves in
the early spring. Her nose was small and delicate, and so was her mouth. She
reminded Daniel of the popular girls in his old school.
“Daniel, this is Michelle Valandi and Michelle, this is Daniel Ray.” Alverdine
introduced them. “Daniel is a new student. Could you take him to his dorm and
help him settle in?”
“No problem, Sir,” said Michelle in a singsong voice.
She reached out, took Daniel’s hand, and led him toward another path. Daniel
felt his face burning up, but didn’t dare to pull his hand out of her grip.
“Handsome, isn’t he?” said Michelle about Alverdine. “Most girls here have a big
crush on him. Most of us are a little scared of him too. Do you have any idea
how old he is? He’s about six hundred years old. Believe it or not, he can look
much younger than he does now. He just prefers this look—less confusing, I
guess.”
It really amazed Daniel that she could talk to a stranger like that.
“Too bad that he doesn’t teach classes any more. There’re not many chances to
see him any more. You never know if he’s here on the island or not.”
Daniel felt like and idiot. He didn’t know what to say. He was afraid that
Michelle was going to laugh at him if he asked any stupid question. He felt even
worse when something hit the back of his head and he let out a cry that made him
feel quite embarrassed.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” said Michelle with an apologetic smile. “Forgot to warn you
about the monkey. He likes to throw nuts or pebbles at people. I’ve no idea why
they don’t kick him out of the garden.”
They were walking in the garden. In the middle of it was a small creek. Most
of the trees were in full bloom. The flowers were like red clouds covering most
of the leaves. Daniel could hear a few birds singing what he thought sounded
like show tunes. They were, however, not really good even to Daniel’s amateurish
ears.
“Bit annoying in the morning,” said Michelle about the birds.
“That’s the boy’s dorm,” Michelle pointed to the red brick buildings at the end
of the garden.
There were three buildings connected by open passageways. The corridors in each building were facing the garden. Some students were sitting on the banisters talking to each other. Most of the boys in the dorm knew Michelle. A couple bold ones whistled when they passed by. Michelle seemed to enjoy the attention but pretended that she didn’t care much.
Daniel’s dorm room was on the third floor. The room had four beds. There were
four desks in the middle of the room. One huge window opened to the back garden.
Two of his roommates were playing chess. They got up when Daniel and Michelle
walked in. One boy was tall and skinny. His face was just like his body, long
and bony. The other one was a chubby boy with a round face.
Michelle showed Daniel his bed, desk and a few other things. Daniel was amazed
to find that the bed was already nicely made and everything had his initials on
it.
Before Michelle left, she took Daniel off to the side: “If they give you any
trouble, come find me, OK?”
When her footstep faded down the hall, both his roommates turned their
attention to Daniel. They had been really shy in front of Michelle. The whole
time she was there, they hadn’t said more than a few words, and that was during
the introduction. After that, they just stood there with an awkward smile on
their faces.
“Where are you from?” asked Tony the chubby boy.
“Blue town.” That was the name of Daniel’s hometown, but he was too tired and
hungry to give them a detailed description of the town.
“Never heard of it,” Nick the tall skinny boy said.
“Me either.” Tony and Nick exchanged a look.
“What’s your special power?” asked Tony.
“Er—I don’t know.” Daniel felt kind of stupid again.
“I’m a natural transfigurine,” said Tony. “Nick’s a flyer. Both powers can be
acquired, but it’s extremely hard.”
“Check this out,” he squatted down and turned into a big fat rabbit and then
turned back into the chubby boy again.
Daniel tried not to laugh. He didn’t want Tony to think that he wasn’t
impressed. Tony was apparently very proud of his power. In face, Daniel thought
his power was quite extraordinary, but the way Tony had shown it was kind of
comical.
“Nick, show him yours,” Tony urged Nick, but Nick seemed to feel that it was too much an effort to waste on someone new. They soon got bored with Daniel and left him alone. Thankfully, Daniel climbed into his bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.
When Daniel woke up, for a moment, he panicked. He realized that he wasn’t in is own bed back at home. The ceiling was much higher, and the room was much bigger. Then it flooded back to him. He was alone in a strange place full of strangers. He had this sick feeling like he was going to give a talk in front of the whole school but was completely unprepared. He knew nothing about the place. Just yesterday, magic was an abstract concept. He had no idea what his power was and doubted he had any power at all. Would it be like the old school, where he had to watch everything he said and every move he made? He lay in bed trying to calm himself down.
Both Nick and Tony were gone. It was dark outside. The nightlight of one of
his roommates was on. Lying on the bed was a big boy. He was almost twice
Daniel’s size. Still his face was childlike. He was playing with a knife. He
threw it up. To Daniel’s amazement, it stayed in the air. Then it started
thrashing, piercing and flipping like an invisible hand was moving it. The knife
flew back into the hand of the boy when Daniel sat up in his bed.
“How’s your nap?” said the boy. His voice was deep for someone his age.
“Alright,” said Daniel.
“I’m Owen Oswald,” said the boy with a smile. “You’re Daniel Ray, right?”
“Right.” Daniel had never seen anyone like Owen before. He was very strong, but
unassuming. For a person that tall, he didn’t have an air of awkwardness, and
there was something very pure and refreshing in him.
Daniel got up from his bed, still a little light headed from the flight and
the nap.
“Professor Alverdine has a message for you.” Owen picked up a piece of paper
from his bedside. Daniel was amazed to see the paper fly out of Owen’s hand and
land lightly on his hand.
On the paper was a simple message: “Please come see me tonight.”
“How am I supposed to find him?” thought Daniel feeling a little exasperated.
“I’ll take you to his office if you want,” offered Owen.
“You can read minds too?” Daniel became very self-conscious.
“No way, although that would be cool…” said Owen. “Oh, Professor Alverdine said
that you might need help—you want to go now?”
“Sure,” said Daniel. His stomach made a funny sound. He realized that he had not
had any food since early that morning.
“Almost forgot,” Owen turned around and picked up a package on the desk.
“Professor Alverdine told me that you might feel hungry after your nap.”
Inside the wrap were four big buns. Two were plenty for Daniel. Owen must have
thought that everyone ate as much as he did. He ate the other two happily when
Daniel said he was full.
The night was cool. The water in the creek was illuminating. The birds had gotten tired of singing and fell asleep. Most of the buildings were lit up. The shadows of the trees made the lights flicker. They walked passed the Monkey. He threw a few nuts at them, but Owen caught all of them. Owen pointed out different buildings as they went along. The dining hall was mid-way between the boy’s dorm and the main building, which Daniel learned to be the auditorium. The classrooms were in different small buildings. The animal house was between the dinning hall and the sport field. It was very big and sprawled out like a flat hill. A couple students were reining in a horse with huge wings. Some girl was trying to talk sense into a cat. The cat seemed to be hyperactive and would not settle down.
“The small building by the animal house is the post office,” said Owen. “It’s run by the student government. Depending on what kind of service you need, they used aviborn, an enchanted flying device, or the pigeons from the animal house…”
Daniel felt a rush of homesickness. There was no one he could write to. “I guess this is home now,” he thought. He could have always run home, had he been in trouble; but now if things went wrong, there was no escape. He had to be more careful about what he said and what he did, even though most people he had met seemed nice. Then the image of his father in a dark jail cell came into his mind. He knew that he had to do something. He couldn’t just sit and wait for other people to save his father.
“Where’s the library?” asked Daniel. He was hoping that he could find more
about what had happened to his father. All he knew was that whoever kidnapped
his father were not mortals and they performed a charm that sucked out the heat
in the air. Alverdine didn’t specify whether they were immortals or not. Daniel
wondered if there could be other magical beings that were capable of doing
magic?
“You are a good student, aren’t you?” said Owen with a grin. “It’s behind those
woods. I’ll show you later.”
Professor Alverdine’s office was on the top level of a seven-story tower on the
edge of a cliff. It was like a huge granite bamboo shoot. There was an outside
corridor residing over the eaves on each level. The doors to the corridors
looked out directly to the sea. Looking out of the tower windows, Daniel could
see the full moon hanging on the east sky. The sky was clear. The moonlight
reflecting on the surface of the sea was like a silver highway leading to the
moon.
Owen knocked on the door.
“Come in,” they heard professor Alverdine say in the office.
Daniel was glad to see a familiar face. It was hard to believe that he had
just met Alverdine that morning. It was like he had known him for a long time.
Alverdine’s office was not as he had expected. There were not shelves and
shelves of books. It was very big and empty. The four walls were actually four
huge cabinets with thousands of drawers. Some were dated five hundred years ago.
By the window was a large desk. Alverdine was sitting in a very comfortable
looking chair. In his hand was a glass of wine.
“Forgive me for one of my little indulgence,” he said when Daniel and Owen
walked in. “To me, there are few things as satisfying as sharing a glass of good
wine with the full moon.”
“You look well rested,” he said to Daniel.
“Do you know why you are here?” he asked, putting down the wine glass.
“No, not really,” said Daniel, feeling like he had just failed some kind of
test. He doubted Alverdine had found anything new about his father’s
disappearance. After all, it had been only a few hours since Daniel last saw
him.
“Oh, Owen you can stay too,” professor Alverdine said to Owen when he was
about to excuse himself.
“Tonight, I’m going to release your powers,” he turned back to Daniel. “A night
like this is excellent for the task,” he said, referring to the clear sky and
the full moon.
“But before I do that, there are a few things I want you to learn. You too.” He
nodded at Owen. “I told most of my students, and I couldn’t emphasize this
enough.” Then his voice changed. It wasn’t the old kind and gentle talk that
Daniel had accustomed to.
“With great power comes great responsibility. It applies to everyone under
all circumstances. You can be mortal or immortal, and the power that you have
can be magical or political. You may not fully understand it now, but just keep
this in mind before you make any decision or take any action.”
Both Daniel and Owen had the feeling that standing in front of them was someone
that was ancient and ageless as the tower, the moon, and the vast sea.
“Enough about that,” said Professor Alverdine, returning back to his old self
again. “The procedure that I’m about to perform is opening your mind. Each of
our brains is like an individual universe. Most of the people have very little
access to the universe and have less control over the powers within—just a
simple example: if you are in a place full of noises, none of the individual
sounds make sense; but you brain actually receives every piece of information
and stores it. If you have control over your brain, you can decipher and
interpret every sound you heard. It’s the same with your body, although it has
limits. With you mind open, you’ll able to find out what you body is capable of.
Different people are good at different things—Owen, I believe, is very good at
controlling weapons and sparing—it’s simply how each individual body is made…I
hope that you both will use your powers well…”
He asked Daniel if he was ready and then laid a hand on his head. A warm sensation trickled down from where his hand was. Daniel had the feeling that something was thawing inside him. It was like the winter was over, and he wouldn’t feel cold again. The breeze from the sea brushed against his face. He felt himself sliding into a deep sleep as comfortable as a warm bed in a cold winter night.
