CHAPTER ONEВ JULIA

2198.В The scene is set inВ dwarf Оµ-galaxy somewhere between О±, Гџ, Оі,.. П‰-galaxies, inВ the School ofВ Magic.

– Elizabeth Smith, you start your internship tomorrow in ß-galaxy. Steward Larkin will escort you.

– Margaret Kenning. You are leaving for γ-galaxy with Kurt Koch.

– Boney Zimmerman. Your internship destination is α-galaxy. Lesley Ziemer will take you there.

“When will my turn come? Where will they assign me?” Julia was thinking to herself listening to Madame Groysman’s crisp monotonous voice and having all these questions flicker unanswered through her head like the stars in the sky. Suddenly all the important events in her life came live before her eyes.

The girlВ was an orphan atВ aВ very early age. Both her parents and brothers died on the same day and she was brought up byВ foster parents. They were aged, ofВ modest means and childless. Though Julia had known all her life that Maggie and John were not her real parents, she did not feel deprived ofВ aВ real family. Maggie and John loved Julia and always treated her with care and respect, which created aВ kind ofВ distance between them and embarrassed Julia even more.

She was seven, when they sent her to the boarding School of Magic for girls where she studied for 10 years. Hardly had she entered school, when there came an unexpected turn of events. First she had a narrow escape from the fire when she stepped on Jane’s foot by accident. Jane showed her anger by giving Julia a fiery look which instantly set her uniform on fire. Julia did not have time to feel scared, as two security guards turned up next to her and extinguished the fire. In the classroom, there was a loud bickering between Kasey and Linda. Kasey had lost her textbooks and was thinking Linda had taken them.

– Why would I need your textbooks? I’ve got mine. – Linda was saying, trying to reason with her.

– They were here a minute ago, – Kasey was screaming.

Tempers flared andВ everyone got involved. Suddenly all metallic items started falling from the stands. CarlaВ hadВ them magnetized with her look, while the others were trying toВ push her out ofВ the classroom inВ skirmish. The next momentВ the people and the things inВ the room froze inВ the air. Julia stopped them with her look. God knows what would happen ifВ not for the bell. Madam Groysman and Andrea Livandowskaya, the class head, entered the room.

– What’s going on in here?

The steel in school principal’s voice was unmistakable and scared them more than the falling items. Everyone froze and the room fell silent.

The school was located inВ aВ huge majestic building that inspired awe and respect. The school management had been very strict about the established order since the start ofВ the school

The school program was the same for everyone during the first three years. Every student had a special gift. The school’s mission was to develop the students’ gifts. All the girls studied hard but the most important outcome of the primary school was to learn to exercise control over one’s thoughts, emotions and actions. This was a real challenge and most learners had to leave school after the third grade. Not everyone was able to control themselv
