Zaya pushed the door open it made a familiar creak, she was startled as standing in the room were her sleeping friends.

Zuri then walked forwards as she said where you there?

Zaya then spoke yawning where?

Well I just left a few minutes ago,

you should have seen it one of the girls spoke.

There was an explosion,

Zaya asked absolutely dumbfounded.

Zuri then showed Zaya a video on her phone,

Zaya was shocked to see scalfell pike explode.

We heard the loud terrifying sound Zuri sad that's what woke us up,

what do you think is going on.

Well I hope it doesn't have to do with all that dragon war that's been going on in other countries,

another girl on white pyjamas spoke as she went back to sleep on her bed.

Well let's check what's going on the Tv, Zuri said turning the Tv on and taking it to a news channel.

You know this really feels wrong, Zaya said as she began staring at the television one of the girls then responded, yeah you're right Zaya only our parents watch News.

Well Zuri said rolling her eyes would you rather live and watch the News or die watching something else, I'll do both the girl on white said as she blew a pink gum which burst covering her lips.

They all gathered in front of the Tv as they listened attentively,

speaking on the show was a woman dark in complexion.

She was explaining the current situation at the scalfell Spike.

The mountain had been absolutely exploded.

By England's national army, from the ruins of the mountain it was obvious that benith the mountain was an old temple.

Which had been destroyed by a bomb, hundreds of men gathered around the area as they were searching furiously for a gem.

What are they looking for one of the girls,Zaya then thought it won't hurt to tell her would it, there was nothing to loose after all.

She opened her mouth to speak, when she was suddenly interrupted by Zuri who said The onx gem."

Everyone in the room's gaze suddenly turned to Zuri who smiled as she said, why are you all that suprised said Zuri we are literally in the University of archaeology.

Looks like they've found the onx gem said Zaya staring at the Tv places on the wall as the soldiers began jubilating they kept the onx gem in a box as they prepared for transportation.

I hope they find a way to keep it safe from the dragons hands the girl on white spoke, Zaya then bimshuffled towards the Tv as she said you spoke to soon.

There was suddenly chaos in their midst, the soldiers began dispersing in all directions it was at that moment that the lights went off.

Well girls Zaya said it's three in the midnight this can't really be a sleep over if we don't have a sleepover.

The other girls agreed Zaya could feel them nodding in the dark, they all climbed their beds and went to sleep.

Zaya thought as she closed her eyes she had to be there soon but she also thought she couldn't be rash with her decisions any mistake and even the england government might see her as a threat.

She closed her eyes which shimmered in the dark, and went straight ahead to sleep.

The next day

Wake up Zaya!

Did you even sleep yesterday at all, Zaya woke up her eyes meeting that of Zuri who shook her continuouslyz you are gonna be late for your first class.

Professor medley doesn't tolerate lateness you have to get ready to go now, Zaya sat up scratching her head as she spoke, "Thanks Zuri I'll be done soon give me a second"

Zaya remembered something as she instinctively touched her side pocket, searching for something?

Zuri asked as she sat down beside her yes Zaya answered something..This Zuri said handing the Phoenix emblem over to Zaya.

Zaya was not sure whether to be mad or disappointed in herself, She had to keep safe from now on.

She collected the Phoenix emblem from Zuri thanking her Zaya then went ahead to take a bath after which she got dressed.

Walking out of the hotel were two girls Zaya and Zuri both holding books in their hands they walked down to the college of history.

They entered the classroom,

it was a large building filled with about a hundred students in which there were round tables lined up on all through the whole building.

Come on Zuri said as she dragged Zaya to pick an equipment which was situated on a rack to analyse the items of different history placed on each of the table.

Zaya chose a magnifying glass while Zuri, a caliper, this is the best part of archaeology university Zaya we only get to study ancient artifacts and then present about them.

Alright Zaya said Zuri let's check our first ancient object.

They walked towards one of the tables were three artifacts could be seen the first was a golden looking stone that glittered, while the other was a Megalithic stone circle and the last a gold funerary mask.

Zaya was astonished she had only seen some of this on the Tv, and they were kept in museums or locked somewhere in the annals of history.

Zuri she called, how come such priceless artifacts are in our study room, no tight security present and we are allowed to just touch this Ancient treasures as we like.

Zuri then chuckled as she began measuring each with her calipers, Zaya this university itself you see was once an ancient relic, it was transformed to a school a very long time ago going back to the 1900's.

So the school as gathered enough respect and originality too possess ancient artifacts such as these without having to steal or purchase it.

Zuri then adjusted her glasses as she said though most are models and replicas, alright said Zaya as she used her magnifying glass to analyze the black megalithic circular stone.

It wouldn't take long, you are closer

Zaya was shocked as she heard the voice of the pink fox. She felt strange has the fix had died over a year ago.
