"Wow." Caylina gasped. "This place is huge!" Dissidia University was truly magnificent. Well, in the eyes of a young girl who'd lived in a small village most of her life, it was magnificent. Caylina stood, gawping at the beauty. Her knuckles were white from gripping the shoulder-bag in her hand so tightly. Eventually, Caylina pulled herself together and looked around. The grass was well-tended and all the same length, unlike the unruly patches from her home-village. Statues guarded the University, with such detail that Caylina thought they looked like real life beasts coloured grey. Everything here was so perfect - so un-Caylina. Would a young village girl ever fit into a place like this? Only one way to find out. Caylina breathed in, and walked inside.

Caylina wondered around for a while, hoping to bump into someone to explain what to do. She hoped she wouldn't be left to wonder around, lost. Caylina shook her head. They wouldn't do that.... Would they? Caylina hadn't met anyone from somewhere this grand. She looked in awe at the architecture - That was brilliant - and the features - Which were also brilliant - as she wondered through the hallways. She was pretty sure she was going round in circles. But this place couldn't be empty. Could it? No, not when all the students were to arrive. But what is it was wrong? What if she'd set out a day to early? What if she'd misread the letter? Worries flooded into her head.
