Day: XX; Month: 8; Year: 2030

"Bing bong ding dong"

"Bing bong ding dong"

As the alarm rang, she immediately swiped her phone to shut it. 

"A new day has begun". A white-haired girl crawled out of the blanket. She fixed her messy hair then got out of the bed. 

This is Elena Pung, a member of the W.I.T.C.H. Organization. She's 25 years old and a girl of freedom. 

Today is Monday, the last day of her summer vacation. Which means that she will have to go back to Los Angeles. But she won't be late to her work, because she's going to fly now!

"WOO-HOO"

The air slashes ran through every strain of her hair, Elena finally felt the freedom that she loved. 

"Elena! Please slow down!"

A girl with blue eyes was holding on to Elena's arms. 

"Belle, are you even the next queen of England?". Elena mocked jokingly. 

"Who said that princesses can't be scared of heights?!". She spoke with a british royal tone.

"Just kidding". Elena chuckled. "But we'll be late tomorrow if I don't speed up today". 

"No, don't you dare!"

Before Belle could warn Elena one more time, Elena already flew across the sky at the highest speed. 

"Gods save me". Belle had fainted away. However, she'll be just fine. Elena won't let her fall into the ocean though.

Belle Windsor, the oldest princess of England and also the next queen of the nation. She is known as the lady of gems. It's not because she is relevant for being rich and cherishable. The nickname is originally from her supernatural ability. 

She can form crystals out of nowhere and control them freely by using her mind. What a good superpower for a princess. 

About Elena Pung, she doesn't have a good background like Belle. Elena was born in Seoul, Korea. Her father left her mom for another woman and her mother didn't want to keep her. So they had abandoned her in front of an orphanage. It was a wintry day, if the orphanage workers didn't come to check the lock, she would have died in the cold night.

She had always lived a necessitous life until the Monkeypox pandemic had reached Korea. Many children and people in that dark area had gone with the dust, except Elena. She was the one that survived the illness and awakened her supernatural power. 

Then the scientists from the government had brought her to somewhere that she didn't even know, or at least, remember. They experimented countless inhuman things on her, yet she accepted to bear all. Because they gave her better food and a warm place to sleep. 

A lot of things had happened, some random people had come to her and told her that "You're safe". Then they moved her to another place again. Nonetheless this time, they let her know the destination. It was New York, USA. 

Because she had no parents or relatives, they had put her in a brand new academy at that time. It was Chimera Academy, a place for people with supernatural powers. 

Chimera Academy is a safe place that's under control of W.I.T.C.H. Organization. This safe zone had granted her happiness and the love that she had always wanted before. 

And that's how she met Belle, her first friend and her only best friend in the Chimera Academy's dorm. 

For the summer vacation, at first Elena planned on going to France to capture some plaisant moments. However, Belle wanted to try out some Korean BBQ and to learn more about Elena's origin. So that's why they spent the whole summer break in South Korea. 

They went to Seoul, Jeju Island, Busan, Boseong Green Tea Field, and the Halla Mountain. 

With Belle's therapy, Elena had turned her darkest nightmare into a beautiful place to keep in her mind.  

"Thank you Belle"

"Thank you for entering my life"
