Importance

Visitor management plays a crucial role in maintaining office security and professionalism. Traditional paper sign-in sheets and manual processes are not only inefficient but also pose security risks. A robust visitor management system is necessary to.

Improve Professionalism :- Impress clients and partners with a modern, efficient, and tech-savvy approach to managing visitors.

Features

Tektronix Technology has designed its Visitor Management Software with an array of features to meet the diverse needs of modern offices:

Visitor Registration :- Visitors can pre-register using a web-based interface or register upon arrival using a self-service kiosk. This minimizes wait times and ensures a faster check-in process.

Identity Verification :- The software can verify visitor identities through various means, including photo ID scanning, QR code scanning, or biometric authentication, ensuring that only authorized individuals gain access.

Access Control Integration :- Seamlessly integrate the software with your existing access control systems to grant temporary access badges or keycards to visitors.

Real-time Notifications :- Notify hosts via email, SMS, or app notifications when their guests arrive, enhancing communication and responsiveness.

Customization :- Tailor the software to your office's unique requirements, from branding and logo customization to language preferences.

Compliance and Reporting :- Automatically generate visitor logs and reports for compliance with security regulations and auditing purposes.

Data Privacy :- Tektronix prioritizes data security and privacy, ensuring that visitor data is handled in accordance with the highest standards.

Benefits

Flora Clift Stevenson the social reformer and suffragette was born on 30th October 1839.

Born into a merchant family in Glasgow the youngest of 11 children. Her father was a wealthy Glasgow industrialist; when he retired the family moved to Edinburgh, and Flora spent most of her adult life living at 13 Randolph Crescent in the West End with her 3 sisters. The Stevenson sisters were all active in the mid-nineteenth century Scottish women’s movement. They all supported women’s suffrage, and were founding members of the Edinburgh Ladies’ Educational Association which was founded in 1868 to campaign for higher education for women. Flora was also committed to improving education for society’s poorest children; as a child she started a class in her home to teach messenger girls basic reading, writing, and maths skills.

In 1863 Flora joined the Edinburgh Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor as a district visitor, investigating the circumstances of charity claimants and assessing whether or not they were ‘deserving’ of support. She also joined the committee of the United Industrial Schools of Edinburgh, a voluntary body that organised schools for poor children. Flora believed that compulsory school attendance was central to improving the lives of poor children in big cities.

In 1873 Flora was elected to the newly formed school board for Edinburgh. School boards were the first public bodies in Scotland which were open to women. As a result of her experience she was placed on the destitute children’s committee, where she was responsible for a scheme that gave food and clothes to poor children on the condition that they attended school. She also persuaded the school board to set up a day school for truants and juvenile delinquents, which was the first of its kind under the control of a school board. Flora’s expertise in this area was well respected; she served on several committees advising the government.

Flora’s belief in women’s rights carried over into her educational philosophy. She believed that girls and boys should be treated the same in education, and argued against the school board’s policy of giving girls 5 hours less teaching than boys every week so they could practice needlework. She believed that boys should be taught household management as well as girls, and that unmarried female teachers should receive equal pay.

Flora’s dedication to Edinburgh’s education system was respected and acknowledged. In 1899 a new primary school in Craigleith was named after her, and in 1900 she was unanimously elected to the Chair of the Edinburgh school board. In 1903 she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Edinburgh, and two years later she was given the Freedom of the City in recognition of her service to Edinburgh’s philanthropic institutions and the school board. When she died in September 1905, thousands of schoolchildren lined the route of her funeral. She is buried with her family in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh.

In August 2021 The Royal Bank of Scotland issued a new £50 note with Flora Stevenson on it.

(Liana Liberato) [THE CRAFTY]. Please welcome [CHANDLER VOS (SHE/HER)] to Huntsville, WV. They are an [28]-year-old [VISITOR] who lives in [TOWN]. You may see them around working as a [MANAGER OF THE 7/11]. They are looking for [FOX & TRIXIE VOS] their [SIBLINGS] Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive.

Full Name: Chandler Rae Vos Birthday: Aug 20 Age: 28 Hunter or Gatherer: Neither Sexuality: Bisexual Height: 5'7 Relationship Status: Single

To say Chandler was unexpected would be an understatement. Born early, and to parents who didn’t really have any business having more kids, she was dealt an uneven hand. While she struggled to catch up with kids her own age in most aspects, she was extremely bright, growing up playing video games and shocking people when she showed up to tournaments held at the local game stores, her sweet face and long hair causing most people to underestimate her.

As the baby of the family, and nine years younger than her older brother Fox, Chandler's life was full of hand me downs. She taught herself how to fix up old, seemingly broken gaming systems while her older sister, Trixie helped her breathe life into her second or third hand me down clothes so she could at least try to fit in a little more at school.

Online gaming was popular, and while she often connected to the internet to play multiplayer games with other, she often used a voice modulator. She had thick skin, but self preservation was just as important as a snappy comeback, especially in a space where people felt the need to say things they'd never say to anyone's face. In her everyday life, Chandler herself was something bordering on a bully, being blunt and firing back unkind comments to anyone that dared say anything about her family. But something about the internet brought out the absolute worse in people, and Chandler wasn't ready to face that.

When streaming was first introduced, Chandler was drawn to it like a moth to flame. It took a while before she was brave enough to show her face on screen, figuring just her real voice would suffice. And it did, for a while, but as time went on and her ‘fan base’ expanded, as a subscriber milestone, she was willing to go to more cons and events where gaming was live streamed in real time, and it was unavoidable to hide her face.

She really enjoyed streaming and con appearances, and for a few years, that was her major source of income. She had decided to move out of her parent's house at eighteen, Fox already long gone and Trixie building a life of her own, Chandler felt the only way to make her life her own was to find a little apartment and keep her own schedule. She took a few online college courses, but it all had to do with business, trying to build her image and bring in more viewers and more revenue.

She had actually been on her way home from a streamer con when she took a wrong turn and wound up in Huntsville. She was happy to see her siblings, of course, but the fact that now she was stuck without her main form of escape has been really hard on her. She still often plays the games she can on her laptop or steam deck, but the lack of internet for someone who spent her entire life developing skills that were now useless is something that weighs heavily on her Who is she if she's not ChannieVos8825?

Chandler is still very blunt, but enjoys talking to people about what they enjoy doing, trying to find a new hobby to fill the void streaming left. She wouldn't consider herself an influencer like Hunter or Denny, but if you liked watching video game streaming any time in the last 8 or so years, you'd probably be somewhat familiar with her. A biting personality hides a quick wit and a genuine care, but her walls were put up long ago, and it's not super easy to get past them.

Traffic Management: To alleviate congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow, transportation authorities have implemented various traffic management strategies, such as reversible lanes and real-time traffic monitoring.

Maintenance Downtime: Periodic maintenance and repair work require temporary closures or lane restrictions on the bridge. These closures are typically scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize disruptions to commuters.

Historical Documentation: The history of the Williamsburg Bridge has been documented in books, documentaries, and academic research, making it an essential subject for those interested in the history of urban development and infrastructure.

Adaptive Reuse: The Williamsburg Bridge's strong structure has led to discussions about potential adaptive reuse projects. Ideas have been proposed to repurpose some of its spaces for public use, cultural exhibitions, or commercial ventures.

Emergency Preparedness: The Williamsburg Bridge serves as a critical component of New York City's emergency preparedness plans, with protocols in place for its use in the event of a disaster or large-scale emergency.

Public Safety Measures: Regular safety inspections, security measures, and maintenance work are essential for ensuring the bridge's structural integrity and the safety of all who use it.

Global Symbol: The Williamsburg Bridge is not only a symbol of New York City but also of urban engineering excellence and the enduring human spirit to overcome challenges through innovation and collaboration.

Community Resilience: The bridge's role as a vital lifeline has been evident during times of crisis, highlighting its importance as a symbol of community resilience and unity.

I Dig You 4

Chapter 4 out of 8

Robin is tentatively excited for her first internship: an archaeological dig in the Netherlands, where she has been studying. However, when she gets there, Steve is there too. The dick of their uni that she now has to work with. Great. But being stuck digging for six weeks makes people bond and maybe he isn’t too bad. Maybe he can be her friend.

AKA an archaeology interns, modern, enemies-to-friends stobin au

On AO3.

Ships: none

Warnings: none

~~~~

Chapter 4: Visitor

Week four starts them off in put seven. Put seven is different than the ones they’ve worked on before, since they were very much part of the construction site before. However, put seven breaks ground on the other side of the road, where construction hasn’t reached yet. So, they’re more in sight than before, along one of the roads out of the town.

Since it’s a rural area of the Netherlands, the road itself doesn’t get much traffic and the traffic it does get are people on bike rides or people with dogs.

Jeroen warns them about the dogs, since they’re a bitch when they get into the trenches. Dogs tend to not have any regard for the delicate finds and coups or about the fact that the surface has to remain neat to remain legible.

“If possible, try to get people to put a leash on their dog if they want to ask questions,” Jeroen tells them with a sigh that shows them that archaeologists are often not too successful in that.

Indeed over the next few days, they notice people looking curiously and a dog does run through their trench, which sucks, because they hadn’t taken the photos of the trench yet, so they have to shave the top carefully again to clean it up.

Most people just walk by. However, there are some that stop and ask questions. Robin and Steve leave that to the others, who have more experience and can actually speak the language.

Still, it happens on Thursday that most have moved on further in the trench, leaving the two interns to finish off the last few coups alongside the road, that they get another visitor at the dig. It’s a young boy, a teen with a pitbull that’s luckily on a leash. He asks: “Wat zijn jullie aan ‘t doen?”

It’s a short sentence and Robin recognizes wat as what, zijn as are and doen as doing, filling in the gaps easily. Though she’s surprised that Steve answers first: “That depends, how good is your English?”

“I’m great at English,” the boy exclaims in an indignant tone and accented voice. “I’m already in my third year, you know.”

The kid looks closer to fourteen than seventeen, but then Robin remembers the Dutch schooling system is different, so he likely is fourteen. It surprises her how well Dutch people speak English, sure most she met were good at it, but they were also adults, who studied at university, which is a different demographic.

“Great,” Steve smiles. “I’m Steve, that’s Robin.” Robin waves and says: “Hi.”

“Oh, I’m Dustin, this guy’s name is d’Art,” Dustin introduces both himself and the dog.

“Nice to meet you,” Steve goes on in a kind voice that has Robin giving him a glance. “What did you want to know?”

“Just what you guys were doing, I guess. You don’t look like builders,” Dustin shrugs.

“We are not. We’re archaeologists,” Steve says, making sure to talk slowly and clearly so the kid can follow, since it isn’t his native language. “We are getting all the information, before the building can destroy it.”

“So did you find anything cool? Like gold?” Dustin asks, pulling d’Art’s leash closer as he squats at the side of their put, trying to see what they’re working on.

Neither of them have been digging long enough to be truly annoyed with the question about gold yet, but Robin mentally notes that none of their professors had been lying about it.

“No, archaeology isn’t about gold. We found a lot of pot pieces though,” Steve laughs.

“Then you found just pots? That’s boring,” Dustin informs them bluntly.

Robin wants to protest that, but Steve is quicker, managing to be more patient than her as he says: “Oh, but it’s not at all boring. Look,” he steps to the side and points at a coup they still have to finish. “You see how the sand is darker here?”

“Yeah?” Dustin replies with a voice that asks why he should care.

“Well, this is a spoor, it tells us that someone – likely hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years ago – dug a hole here. It could have been to put a pole in to built a house or to bury something or to get some sand or to have a place to throw stuff away,” Steve explains. “This right here used to be a house.”

“A house?” Dustin asks, a little more awed now.

“Yup,” Steve nods. “We found multiple of these kinds of sporen, all circles, all poles, in the shape of a house. Isn’t that cool? I’m standing in a house right now.”

“That is pretty cool,” Dustin agrees. “How did you know it was a house? Just the shape?”

“A combination of the shape of the sporen and the shape they are in, yes. But we often don’t spot them in the field. Usually we see them later when looking at a map of the sporen, since they are easier to spot like that, but we got lucky here,” Steve says.

“So why’s the ground a different color?”

“Well different layers of the earth have a different color. If you come over here, I can show you,” Steve says pointing to the corner of the trench. “D’Art can’t come near the put though.”

Dustin looks excited at the prospect and ties d’Art to a nearby tree so he can come take a closer look at the profile Steve is cleaning, which is a fancy way of saying that he’s scraping the dirt of the side so you can see the different horizons in the soil.

Steve looks excited as well, happy to explain it. Robin also likes talking about archaeology, but she often just talks about bones. She isn’t good at all this and her explanations get rambled and complicated, filled with terminology, but Steve doesn’t seem to have that problem.

She decides to continue working, but keeps listening in as Steve continues to talk to Dustin about their dig.

“See how you have all these different colors here on the side?” Steve asks and Dustin hums. “Those are soil horizons. They come from different times. This yellow sand I’m standing on is from the Ice Ages.”

A gasp: “Really?”

“Uh-huh, it was windy here back then and nothing grew, so sand was put down here,” Steve says. “Later things grew, rivers flooded and new layers got put over the old ones. So, the top layer here is the youngest and the one on the bottom the oldest. Get it?”

“Yeah, I do,” Dustin says, beginning to sound excited.

“So, if you have an older layer with a hole in it and a new layer gets put over it, what do you think happens?” Steve asks.

“Uhm, the old layer gets covered by the new one, so the hole gets filled?” Dustin answers.

“Indeed,” Steve says excitedly. “So if that new layer is a different color, what do you see?”

“Oh! You see the spoor, because it’s a hole that’s filled,” Dustin says.

“Hell yeah, you got it, dude,” Steve cheers and Robin hears a high-five.

“So what are you doing then? Like why is she digging at that one? Don’t you already know what you need to know?” Dustin asks

“Well, we are digging them, because then we can know what shape it is, so what it might have been. Like the pole I showed you,” Steve says. “But also, because we find stuff in them.”

“You do?” Dustin asks.

“Yup,” Steve answers. “If it is a trash pit, then people threw stuff away in it, but they also left things in holes on purpose. We think they could be offers to the house or a ritual of sorts.”

“That’s pretty cool, but it’s just like pots, right? Not that thrilling,” Dustin comments and Robin rolls her eyes, taking a break from her digging to drink some water.

“First off, pots are very cool. Second off, there is other stuff too,” Steve says, sounding less annoyed than Robin would have been, had she been the one talking to the brat. No, Robin, not a brat, she forcefully reminds herself, just a young teen, annoying is part of the age. Be nice.

“Oehh, what other shit are you finding?” Dustin asks excitedly, clearly not interested in the pots.

Steve sighs and Robin looks up, ready to come save him if he looks like he’s done. But when she looks up, she sees him shake his head with a smile, before he answers: “Well, there is the skull cult, but that is in the Near East, so I don’t know much about that, but there have also been cow skulls found in house plans.”

“That’s cool! I’m gonna google that when I get home,” Dustin tells Steve.

And Steve sounds very happy about that as he says: “You totally should, man. It is really cool. Just like pots can be if you are curious enough to find out how.”

Robin looks up, because that is a different tone than she’d heard so far. Where Steve has been patiently explaining everything before, that last part sounds a bit gloating. And indeed when Dustin exclaims: “Hey! I’m curious,” Steve looks smug, like he knew he’d hit a button by saying that.

“You are?” he asks, like a little shit and Robin realizes he is manipulating this child into caring about ceramics, which is crazy, because not even every archaeology student is interested in ceramics.

“Yeah,” Dustin is practically pouting now.

“Want me to tell you more about them?” Steve asks, back to the genuine voice from before. Dustin nods enthusiastically. “Alrighty,” Steve cheers, before calling over Robin asking: “Robs, do you have that sherd from S7123?”

Robin doesn’t know how Steve seems to remember that, though, maybe because he’s the one that dug it out and wrote it down on the card and took a photo of it for his report later. It takes her a second to locate the find bag and bring it over to Steve.

“Ah, thank you,” he says, looking excited to continue his conversation, before he realizes that Robin has been digging this whole time. “Oh, I’m sorry, I haven’t been really doing my part, have I?”

“It’s alright, dingus, I call first dibs on the shower and then we’re even,” Robin assures him. He looks too excited and she’d feel bad if she asked him to stop. He can do more of the work later, she decides to count it as pay back for when she was drawing while he had to dig.

“Alright,” he smiles and Robin knows she made the right choice.

“Is she your girlfriend?” she hears Dustin asks.

“Nah, man, we just don’t wanna deal with the train every morning.”

“Oh, yeah, my mom says de NS sucks,” Dustin says. “But I think she’s into you.”

“Rest assured that she is not. Now, want to hear about the pots or not?” Steve gently but firmly puts a stop to that conversation, which Robin is grateful for. He doesn’t even out her – not that she would have minded, but Steve doesn’t know that and it’s nice he’s not presuming.

“Alright, tell me why pots are cool,” Dustin sighs, like he’d rather have the other conversation.

“First, you got to stop thinking of it as just a pot sherd,” Steve starts out with a little bit of grandeur in his voice. “This right here, is the basis of archaeology.”

“It’s a piece of pot,” Dustin tells him.

“It is, but do you know what this piece of pot can tell us?” Steve asks in return.

“That there were people who made pots here?” Dustin replies.

“I mean, yes that too, but not necessarily. Sometimes the pot sherd we find is from somewhere else, maybe traded or taken by someone traveling and, suddenly, this piece is part of a network, part of a bigger story,” Steve says.

Robin looks up again to check on them, Steve is a better storyteller that she’d thought, because Dustin is hanging on his lips. She’d always thought he was just pretty and a little charming, but he actually knows how to talk with people.

“You see, a pot and other pieces of ceramic – uhm, I think the Dutch word is aardewerk? – are part of people’s lives. A part that survives where other things do not,” Steve says. “This sherd right here, is likely from the Iron Age, so it’s at least over 2000 years old and I’m holding it right now. This is made by someone, a real life person. And we’re the first ones the hold it since it got lost.”

“Can I hold it?” Dustin asks.

“I’m sorry, if it were up to me, you could, but we still have to process it,” Steve says apologetically. “Pots in relation to the soil that I just showed you is used most often to date a site. But that is not the only thing a pot can tell us.”

“No?”

“No,” Steve confirms. “Pots also say a lot about what was considered stylish or trendy, like fashion today. A lot of cultures are named after their pots, because they are shaped and decorated differently.”

“But we can also analyze where the clay came from to make the pot, so we know if the pot is made here and how far people went to get the clay to make it or if they traded the pot and it came from far away,” Steve says.

“We can also see how a pot is made, you probably know pots are thrown on wheels, but those weren’t invented yet when pots first arrived and there are a lot of ways to hand make a pot,” Steve continues on. “Can you guess how to make a pot without a wheel?”

Robin notes that Steve has a good way of keeping Dustin engaged, balancing between giving the kid information and forcing him to think for himself.

“Just, like, smash it in shape with your hands? That doesn’t sound right,” Dustin answers, seemingly frustrated at the idea of not knowing something.

“Yeah! That’s one,” Steve says excitedly. “Hand shaping. Though it’s more pinching it into shape than smashing and it limits the size. Want to guess more? Or want me to just tell you?”

“I can think of more,” Dustin protests, sounding offended at the idea that he couldn’t think of more ways.

“Well, take it away, smarty-pants,” Steve encourages him with a teasing edge in his voice.

Dustin is quiet for a moment and Robin looks up to check on them. Dustin hasn’t walked off yet, but is deep in thought as Steve waits patiently for him. In the background d’Art is peeing on his tree, seemingly content to snuffle about while Dustin talks to Steve.

“Can you just built it up with like, uhm, like- I don’t know the word for it, but flat pieces of clay?” he finally answers after a moment.

“Yeah, totally,” Steve nods with a big smile. “Want hints for another technique?”

“Maybe,” Dustin says, but it looks like it hurts him to admit that.

“It’s more obvious as a method for pouring something that hardens,” Steve says.

Dustin thinks that over for a second, before smugly exclaiming: “Moulding, that’s not that hard to guess, really,” like he hadn’t struggled with it. Kids are pretty hilarious, Robin realizes.

“There is another common method, want me to just tell you or continue guessing?” Steve asks.

“Just tell me,” Dustin demands, obviously done with feeling like he doesn’t know anything. Robin pegs him as one of the smarter kids in class, who can be a bit obnoxious about their intelligence, though not maliciously.

“Coiling, when you roll out a worm of clay and roll it up to form a pot by smushing it together into a shape,” Steve says, not commenting on the tone.

“They really do that?” Dustin asks, sounding surprised. “That seems… childish.”

“Hey, if it works, it works. It’s not more childish than moulding or hand shaping and it actually takes a lot of patience,” Steve tells him. “You have to let the clay dry enough between each new row or it’ll collapse.”

“Guess I never really thought much about pots,” Dustin says.

“That’s okay, neither did I until I started studying, really. And I have only touched the tip of the ice berg here. Though it’s not my interest overall, I like humans and the lives they lived. Pots are just a big part of that,” Steve says. “It’s more about what pots represent.”

“And what do they represent?” Dustin asks curiously.

“Well, for me, I like neolithisation, uhm, the introduction of farming,” Steve says, for the first time forgetting not to use lingo in his excitement. “Pots first appear with farming, since moving with pots is a hassle, you know. Though there are debates about that, but archaeologists can debate about anything and everything. However, farming changed everything. It’s less good for your health and more work than hunting and gathering, yet people chose to do it and we still live in a food economy that depends on farming. People then made choices that impacted today. I think that is really cool, you know, how we’re all connected through time in space. Like me and this little bit of pot.”

“Huh,” Dustin says thoughtfully.

Robin also pauses. It seems like she had totally pegged Steve wrong. He has a genuine interest in what he is doing and a passion like hers for the subject. The idea that he hadn’t, had already been fading, but this just hammers it home again.

Before the conversation can pick up again, Astrid arrives at the other end of the trench, yelling out: “Lunch break.”

“Coming!” Robin yells back, while she hears Steve says: “Guess I have to go, but it was nice talking to you, Dustin. Hope to see you around.”

“Yeah, it was cool. Didn’t think this would be as interesting as it was,” Dustin replies seemingly not noticing that that could be considered rude, before softening it a little with: “Oh, and, uhm, thank you, for, you know, talking me. Can’t have been the most useful thing.”

“I don’t mind doing it, it was fun,” Steve smiles at him. “I’ll be more than happy to talk to you again about all this stuff.”

“Then maybe I’ll come by again,” Dustin smiles, before going to untie d’Art, so he can continue to walk his dog.

Meanwhile. Robin and Steve make their way back to their little headquarters to eat lunch. As they walk, Robin asks: “Have fun?”

“Yeah,” Steve says happily. “I love doing outreach, I think it’s so important to involve local communities and educate about archaeology.” Then he dims a little: “Sorry for ditching you.”

“It’s alright, it wasn’t much anyway. I finished the coups just fine and it’s not like they needed us or they would have come to ask for help sooner,” Robin shrugs. “Besides, I liked listening to you. You’re really good at explaining stuff. I’m not really interested in any of this, I like bones, you know, but you made it interesting.”

“Really? Thank you,” Steve grins. “I’m horrible about bones, you should totally tell me more about it sometime.”

“I’ll hold you to that, Harrington,” Robin grins right back. “Maybe if the squirt comes back I can give him some bone facts.”

“Me and the squirt both,” Steve jokes, shoulder settled in a relaxed manner. Robin laughs at that, it’s nice to joke around.

A/N:

Also Dustin’s English is not a lie to make plot easier, not everyone is as good as English, but I headcanon him as a gymnasium third year nerd, so he’s probably pretty well versed in it. I know I was already writing fics in English at that age (not very great ones and not many that have seen the light of day, but you know, they exist)

And yes, this whole chapter is an excuse to talk about archaeology, because I am passionate about it and I like talking about it <3 (replace pots with ceramics pls, I used pots as a simpler word for Dustin, but ceramics is more accurate)

Also im sorry if Dustin seems OOC, but I think he is genuinely interested and is willing to listen more patiently when not trying to figure out the whole Upside Down tomfoolery, ya know?

Crystalic Love

Winx Club x Fem!Crystalfairy!OC

1. Chapter

SUMMARY : "The Winx must complete a difficult trial to prove themselves before powerful ancient magic. But they won't be the only ones.

Only one of the Winx can be chosen by the last crystal light in Magix and sent to the planet Crystalia in the capital city , Aruna, to mend the broken relationship between the Magix fairies and the Crystal Fairies.

She's sent as an envoy with a message from Parlament of Magix to a new unknown place. There she'll be surprised by how different the Crystal fairies are from Magix fairies. Their magic depends on Crystal lights, which are the source not only of their magic but also of life. However, an unexpected turn of events will cross her path. Can she still mend the torn bonds between their worlds?"

_________________________________________~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been two months since the defeat of Lord Darkar, and the world slowly began to return to its established system.

In the dark night cloak that enveloped the school, only one light was shining. It was the light from the office of the school's headmistress, Miss Faragonda. Even though it was late, she was still working on finalizing the last details before the start of the school year. She was so buried in papers that she didn't even realize how late it was.

With a sigh of exhaustion, she lifted her head from the papers and took a sip from the herbal tea placed to her left on a small golden saucer. After a brief refreshment, she rested her hands on her temples. She was tired, but the work wasn't finished yet. 'The school year begins in just 2 days, I need to finish this and then I can go to bed,' she thought and turned to her right. There, on the table, stood ancient elegant clocks. She looked at the time and sighed. It was already half past one in the night. She knew it was late, but she still returned to her work.

At that moment, a gentle knock again interrupted her from the papers. At this hour, she didn't expect any visitors, but she still invited the unknown person behind the door to enter.

The door opened quietly, and her deputy and professor, Miss Grizelda, entered the room. In her hands, she held a cup of coffee, which made Faragonda smile.

"Good evening, Headmistress. I didn't mean to disturb you, but I noticed that your office light is still on. I thought you might still be working. I brought you something to strengthen you." Faragonda smiled at her colleague and replied, "I'm glad you thought of me, Grizelda, and thank you. But now you should go to bed, too. The new school year starts in a few days, and there are still many things to arrange." A faint smile appeared on Grizelda's face, but it disappeared after a moment. "Good night, Madam," Grizelda said in her typical reserved tone. "Good night to you too, Grizelda," the mentioned deputy nodded and turned to leave. Just as she reached the door, she turned back, "And don't overwork yourself, Miss Faragonda. You need to rest as well." With that, she left the office and quietly made her way to her room. Faragonda smiled at her caring nature, took a sip of the coffee, and returned to what she was doing before.

However, the moment she placed the cup on the table, a light appeared in front of her, gradually forming into the recognizable face of an older woman. Faragonda recognized her immediately. The smile that had adorned her face a moment ago was gone. She knew who it was.

"Faragonda, the time has come. In exactly two days, bring your champions to the light. The magical day is approaching," the woman croaked and vanished.

She knew this day would come, and she was prepared. She stood up from the table, walked to the window, and gazed toward the forest. 'Hopefully, they'll manage,' she thought and went to gather the teachers. She needed to convey very important information to them.

Okay, so that's the first chapter. It's a beginning, so it's a bit shorter, but I still hope you'll like it.

So read and enjoy your Christinaanime 💙
