"Mum, dad! Hurry up! We're nearly there!" I pushed my trolley faster, and I finally ran through the wall. I took in the beautiful sight around me. My mouth actually dropped open. So, I guess it's true that your mouth can drop open. Who would have guessed? I looked at the clock. It was five until 11:00. "Love you Alex, Mum and dad! Bye!" I quickly pushed my trolley to the train and boarded.

"Isabella, follow me," Aura said. I followed her to a compartment. "Izzy, you need to stay here. Then, you can find new friends. Trust me, kiddoooooo." I stuck my tongue out at her. I sat down and put my luggage up. The train started moving. About ten minutes into the 2 hour train ride, I looked out the window and saw a beautiful pond. It had a willow tree, and lots of grass. It also had a cherry blossom tree nearby.

"Hi, I'm Riley Thackery," a girl with shoulder length pink and blue wavy hair. Blue on her left side, pink on her right side. She had pretty light skin, and she was smiling. A lot. "I'm Isabella Dín. Come on in."

The rest of the two hours we chatted a lot, shared snacks, etc. We both changed into our robes, and then I sat back down and stared out the window. I saw the ginormous Black Lake. I think I even saw the squid. Then, I looked at the castle. It was tall and wide. It was beautiful, and powerful.
