Month One Day One: Dear Diary
Fun Fact of the Day: Years ago, a man survived the fire and sinking of a ship. Left emotionally scarred, he didn’t touch another ship for 41 years before he finally was able to overcome his fears and nightmares and sail again...only to die on that ship as it sank into the ocean depths. The moral of this story? Life sucks and irony is real. I can relate.
Today was the day that we left for the Isle. Me, Bala, 15 other transfers, and the girl that got kicked out of Auradon. Hmmph, I have quite a lot I could say about her, but I’ll hold off until after I tell you all about the other transfers, and boy are they a piece of work, every last one of them.
For starters we have Khari. Over all, I’d rather have him here than the rest of them. Though I do have to worry about him. Khari’s always been a bit of a nervous nelly, I can’t see how putting him on the Isle will help with that. If anything else, it’ll probably just make it worse. I should really ask him just why he came to the Isle in the first place. After all, it doesn’t seem like his place. Though then again, it doesn’t seem like my kind of place either. But I did what had to be done. Hopefully I won’t regret it later.
Anyways, back to Khari. I’ve decided that I’m going to have to keep an eye on him as well as Bala. They’re both my family and considering one is far too naive for her own good, and the other is too nervous for his own good as well, it looks like I’ll have to take up the mantel of protector while we’re on the Isle. Who knows what kind of horrifying, bloodthirsty, disgusting, heathens we’ll run into here. I haven’t yet met any of the native Isle goers, but I’m sure I will. After all, tomorrow is my first day at an Isle school. I will be attending Serpent Prep along with Khari, Bala, and a few other people I could care less about. It’ll be nice to have my family there, we’ll have to band together amongst all the other kids at the school.
Now, as for the other transfers, next up we have two pirate siblings. Jaxon and Jeanette Sparrow. Son and daughter of Captain Jack Sparrow. I haven’t talked to them yet, but I have seen them and I must admit that I’m not impressed. Pirates are already known for stealing and drinking. Personally I think that their father should have given up his ways on Auradon. But instead now I’ll have to deal with two sea scoundrels for four months. It’s even worse that I got stuck sharing a room with the boy. It’s going to be a very long four months.
After the Sparrows, we have one more set of siblings along side the Sparrows, and Bala and I. These next siblings are the daughter and son of Moana and Maui. Monte and Kaikoa Tala’Tui. Over all they seem alright so far. Monte will be attending Serpent Prep with me. She seems much more reasonable than some of the other transfers here, kind of cute too. But that’s beside the point here. As for her brother, Kaikoa, he seems terrified just being on the ship. I can’t imagine he’ll do well on the Isle. If you ask me, he should have stayed behind. The Isle is no place for boys like him. He’ll get trampled on the Isle.
Moving on, after that we have my newest roommates. I’ve already mentioned two of them though. Khari and that pirate boy. However along with them I will also be sharing a room with Akram Agrabrah, the son of Aladdin and Jasmine, and Davian Fiskser, the son of Tip and Dash...whoever they are.
Once again I haven’t bothered to talk to either of them yet, though I’m sure I will eventually have to, with them staying in the same room as I. However I have noticed that Akram seems to be close with Jaxon, I can already see the trouble that could cause, and Davian, or “Tierney” as he prefers to be called, well, no offense to him, but he’s already proven to be reckless and idiotic. Earlier today he attempted to lick sand to see if it tasted anything at all like dirt, and then proceeded to jump off a small building for whatever reason. I’m sure without Khari as my roommate as well, I’d be a goner for sure.
Luckily, if anything else, I suppose none of them are bad to look at. At least they have that going for them.
Now, let’s see, by now I’ve mentioned everyone attending Serpent Prep, my roommates, and the sets of siblings going to the Isle. So let’s see, who does that leave? Ah yes. I remember now. The few royals that came along as well, and the animals, but I’ll start with the royals.
Perhaps the most surprising is Mac Charming. The son of Snow White and her “King” Charming. I’ve seen him before, he used to date Bella Bête (heaven knows why. Not even I can find anything to like there) and seems quite friendly with the other snobs, and yes I would call the more famous royalty of Auradon: snobs. I’ve had plenty of encounters to back that up as well. Point being though, out of all the possible people to come here, he seems to be one of the least likely. None of his peers seemed to show any interest in coming along. I wonder why he chose to come?
Oh well. That’s a mystery for another day.
Along with the Charming boy, there’s also Maggie DunBroch, the daughter of Merida and someone else. I can’t remember his name, probably isn’t important anyways. A reckless, high-strung girl with hair to match. I for one, and glad that she isn’t attending my school while we’re here. I’ve seen her around before, parading about with other, equally brash Auradon girls. Hopefully I won’t have to interact with her very often.
Along with Maggie and Mac, there’s two other princesses here. Tansy Maldonia, and Elaine Pendragon. With the former being the daughter of Tiana and Naveen, and the later being the daughter of King Arthur and...whoever he married. It’s not as if I pay attention to this sort of stuff. Now, I have hardly seen or interacted with either girl and haven’t yet made an opinion of them. Perhaps I’ll have to get to know them a little more...though I can’t say I want to. People tend to be very annoying, no matter how attractive they might be.
Anyways, that’s it for the royalty that came to the Isle. However I believe we still have a few transfers left to cover. Namely, Wren of Locksley, the son of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Mavis O’Malley-Aristocat, the daughter some cat girl. Oscar Kit, the son of Oliver, and Jenny Wilde, the daughter of Judy and Nick.
I haven’t seen much of most of them yet. However I do know Jenny from my Jazzercise class. She’s actually nice. I used to like her, but that was awhile ago. As for the other three, well I hardly know them and have no plans on getting to know them either. However none of them seem that bad so far, I have to give them that.
Now, finally we have one last person. Not a transfer though. Li Mayleen, the daughter of Mulan and Shang. Kicked off of Auradon for reckless and dangerous behavior. She may have come with us and be living in the transfers shack, but she is not a transfer. I hope to never interact with her. Who knows what kind of trouble she could cause on the Isle of all places.
That about covers everyone though, now I can tell you about my day, and to start, I should tell you that it has been a very eventful day. I don’t even know where to start. Well, that’s not entirely true. After all, the best of all places to start, is at the beginning.
It was bright and early by the time we left for the Isle. All the transfers had to have their stuff on the ship and say their goodbyes before it got too late in the day. This was easy for me, as I had very few people to say goodbye to and it didn’t take me long to board the ship and guard my things, no one was getting near mine, Bala’s or Khari’s stuff, not while I was there.
Though Bala was not quite as fast with her farewells as I was. She seemed determined to stay as long as she could, hugging and talking to whoever she could, which I must say I find a little ironic, considering she was the one who wanted to go in the first place, no matter whose decision it was to come in the end.
While Bala said her goodbyes, I got a good look at the ship, it was the first time I had been on a ship before and I must say, the experience was amazing. Standing on the deck as we got closer and closer to the Isle, the water below us, and the wind in my face. I have to admit, I was enjoying it all and perhaps most luckily, I did not get sea sick.
Which I can’t say for everyone else. I had seen a few of the transfers holding tightly to the railing, faces green as they peered over the ship’s edge. I feel bad for them, I know I wouldn’t want to be sick when I could be having the time of my life, enjoying my time on the ship. I can see why sailors enjoy it.
Anyways, finally we left Auradon. Bala had decided to explore the ship, striking up conversation with the other transfers. I took up the job of guarding our stuff. There were a few certain boxes I couldn’t risk someone taking. No one, and I mean no one was taking my chocolate supply. The Isle wouldn’t have such treats, I’d have to ration what I have to last the four months here, but it wasn’t as if I could just go without chocolate. What kind of wild life do you expect me to live on the Isle? I may have to sacrifice my books, and I may have to leave behind my telescope, but I will not sacrifice chocolate. Not even for the Isle. Hmmph.
Which, for a moment there, I was worried I might have to fight for my chocolate when Mayleen (you know her, I mentioned her earlier, she’s the girl that got kicked off of Auradon) came a little too close to my stash. Don’t worry though, after a stare down, I was able to tell her who was boss and she left me alone. That’s right Fancy Hair, keep walking. You’re not getting any of my chocolate. Luckily that was my only encounter with the reckless girl for the day.
Then we arrived on the Isle. Diary, I must admit that I’m nervous, and I was especially so this morning when we first arrived on the Isle of the Lost. This is where Auradon’s worst villains were sent. Villains like Shere Khan, Scar, the Evil Queen, Yzma, Jafar, Hades, Maleficent, even my own grandmother and uncle: Zira and Nuka. They’ve all spent twenty years here, they’ve had time to grow even more bitter than they were before, time to reproduce and create child spawns to share their ideas with, time to rot away.
What if they don’t react well to Auradon sending over a group of young adults to their home? What if they attack us? What if by sending us here, Auradon has just sent us all to our deaths? I may not exactly like my companions yet, but I would hate for any harm to come to them, any of them. No one deserves to die here. Though most of all, I’m worried for Bala and Khari. If anything happens to either of them while we’re here I don’t know what I’ll do. I don’t want to die here, Diary, but I especially don’t want to lose Bala or Khari.
Coming here could mean the end for all of us. Me, Bala, Khari, the other transfers. We might not ever go back home. Would Auradon even care? Sure, they’d probably care if one of the royals died here, like that Mac fellow, or that Akram boy. But what about those of us that aren’t important? Would Auradon care if two panther-lion kids from some far off jungle, died while they were on the Isle?
Would they?
I know some people would care, like the pride, some of the jungle people, and whoever Bala’s friends with. But would Auradon as a whole, actually care? Or would we be forgotten, dismissed, erased from history to cover up that our deaths happened in the first place? I’m worried that our deaths would mean nothing to the majority of Auradon, and I’m even more worried that those on the Isle might realize this and take advantage of it.
I don’t want to die, but if it came down to either me or Bala and Khari, I promise you that Bala and Khari would be the ones to make it back to Auradon. No matter what happens while we’re here, I am going to make sure that they makes it back to Auradon, even if I die in the process.
Well. That took a depressing turn. Sorry Diary, sometimes I have to tell someone how I’m feeling. I can’t keep it bottled up, and you’re the only one I can turn to for this.
Anyways, back to my day.
We finally made it to the Isle. I for one, am not impressed. The Isle...well, to put it plainly, it’s a barren wasteland for the unholy miscreants that roam this hellish rock, so disgusting that not even Mr. Clean could save it. I knew it would be bad, but I was not expecting the full extent when I first arrived here, I saw a goblin eat a worm, plucked it right from the ground and slurped it up like a long noodle. It was disgusting.
However, I am rather impressed that anyone can even live here, even make it somewhat bearable. The natives here have that going for them, if anything else. Though I haven’t met one yet, I’m sure they’ll be just as tough and harsh as their environment, tomorrow will be interesting, that’s for sure.
Well, after we had docked on the Isle, we made the trek to the shack we’re supposed to be living in for the next four months. It’s...nice. It has four bedrooms that we have to divide amongst the 18 of us, a main room, a bathroom, and a kitchen area. There’s a fridge. I’ve already claimed the top of it as my own. In fact that’s where I am right now.
Yeah, I don’t think I can get down.
I’ve been stuck on the top of this fridge for hours, Bala went out to explore right around the shack with some of the other transfers, I can’t ask for help from the others here....I’m sure I’ll get down eventually though, everything will be fine, and if I have to, I’m sure I can sleep up here. It’s actually quite cozy. A nice little area tucked back in the corner of the room, I can see everything that goes on in the main area of the shack, it’s nice. I feel like a panther hiding in a tree, watching over everyone. Yeah, I can totally stay up here a bit longer. Basu, panther of the shack, king of the fridge. Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
So after everyone had chosen their rooms, - I believe I mentioned my roommates earlier: Khari (thank goodness), Jaxson Sparrow, Akram Agrabah, and Tierney Fisker. - The transfers split up to do their own things. Bala, Khari, and I took our packed lunches outside to get a look of the area. Most of the transfers had brought home packed lunches over to the Isle, though I can name a few idiots that didn’t seem to think that far ahead (Tierney).
It was nice to eat lunch with Bala and Khari though, even if we did have to deal with a goblin joining us. I believed I briefly mentioned the goblin earlier, the one who ate the worm? Yes well, we had been sitting outside, enjoying our food, when this ugly goblin walked past. I tried to shoo it away, but it didn’t listen, however it did seem to understand the concept of lunch, because after it saw us enjoying our food, it plucked a worm from the ground and ate it right in front of us, slurping it up as if it had been a long spaghetti noodle. After that I hardly felt like eating anymore. Once again I tried to shoo away the vile heathen, however Bala instead offered some of her own lunch to the creature and it ended up sitting down beside her and joining us for lunch. Then of course Bala ended up sharing too much of her food with the goblin and she ended up hungry, so I let her finish off my own food.
After that it was only a matter of setting up my corner of the room I now share with four other gentlemen and finding ways to spend the rest of the day. Naturally I took my diary and came up here, to the fridge. Sadly I don’t have much else to say now though, I basically summed it all up. That’s my day.
Now it’s just a matter of waiting for tomorrow to come. It should be exciting. A new day, a new school, and plenty of new people to meet. I wish I could say that I’m as excited as Bala seems to be, but the closer we get to the next day the more nervous I get. Well, that’s nothing a little chocolate can’t take care of.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be ready for it. I came here prepared for the worst and that’s what I’m ready for. However I should probably attempt to get down from the fridge now, check to see if I can see any of my beautiful stars, track down Bala, and get some rest. I’ll want to be well rested for tomorrow.
It’s like my father always says: “Things will look better in the morning.” Today might not have been the best, nor has it left me with high hopes for tomorrow, but things will look better in the morning, and I’m prepared for anything the Isle throws at me. |
