Hank's POV

I wake up in a cramped area I feel hair, skin, and fabric below me but I feel hair, skin, and fabric above me and then I hear a cheerful but confused voice above me say, "Didn't I just die?"

I then say, "So you're here as well... Abyss Sarah huh."

I hear a gloomy and squished voice say, "Looks like the whole family is here. Squishing...me!"

I hear Abyss Sarah and myself say, "Oops."

I hear another voice but outside, "I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me...Urgggh... This lid weighs a ton!"

The one being squished who happens to be my brother Henry say, "Wait is that Grim from Twisted Wonderland?"

Whoever this Grim is says, "Try this on for size! Mya-ha!" Blue fire burns the container and the door opens and we all found out. Henry falls to the ground, Abyss Sarah, and I am on top of him.

I see a room with floating coffins everywhere and a fancy chandelier above a floating mirror under the mirror had a mini fountain with green water coming from it. I also noticed my siblings and I are wearing black, purple, and gold robes like a cult. I see a cat like creature grey fur blue eyes and blue fire in it's ears, white patch of fur on the chest, and a pitch fork tail. Apparently the cat didn't like us ignoring it because it then said, "Wait isn't there supposed to be one person per coffin? " The cat shakes their head but sees we are ignoring it and paying attention to the area. "Oh-ho! You got a lotta nerve ignoring me, human! The name's Grim. Believe me, you won't forget it! Now one of you five gimme your uniform, and be quick about it! 'Cause if you don't...you're gonna regret it!"

I look at the cat in boredom and I hear Abyss Sarah say, "Oh crud." Then my siblings including me get up, Abyss Sarah picks up Henry because of how unfit he is, and start running.

The cat gets mad, "Hey, come on! I'm on a tight schedule here!" We run away and end up in a room with some pictures, a chair, and floating books. Are we in a magic library?

Henry seems to be shaking in joy and says with smirk, "We're in Twisted Wonderland!"

Abyss Sarah, and I look at Henry confused and say, "Wut."

Grim then walks into the area, "Foolish humans! Did you really think you could slip away from ME? Now, unless you wanna get burned to a crisp, take off that—" A whip wraps around Grim. "Me-YEOW! That hurt! What gives?"

Henry shakes his head annoyed and whispers, "Looks like the horrid principal named Crowley has appeared."

This Crowley then talks, "Consider it tough love. Ah, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students? My, were you ever eager to make your debut. And bringing a poorly trained familiar with you? That is a clear violation of the school's rules."

Grim then says, "As if I'd serve some lowly humans! Now lemme go!"

Crowley then says ignoring Grim, "Yes, yes. Rebellious familiars always say that. Do be quiet for a bit, won't you?"

Grim then tries to talk, "Mmmrph!"

Crowley then says, "Isn't there only supposed to be one student? *Ahem* Dear me. Of all the students I've dealt with, you three are the first with temerity enough to open their own gate and step out of it. Does the very notion of patience elude you? No matter. Your orientation has already begun. Let us return to the Mirror Chamber."

Henry chuckles, "This is going to be a disaster, but at least it's going to be funny."

I tilt my head in confusion, "...What?"

Abyss Sarah looks at Crowley asking, "You're nothing more than a kidnapper aren't you?"

Crowley looks at me shocked, "What I didn't kidnapped you! You three awakened in a room full of gates, did you not? All of the students here at the campus arrived by passing through such gates. You all came of your own freewill otherwise you wouldn't be here. Although typically the students have restraint enough to wait until I open them before waking up." The crow man is still untrustworthy, but Henry seems to know what is going on so I shouldn't worry after all Henry is a coward. 

I straighten my head, "That thing...." I point at Grim, "...blew the lid off of our coffin."

Crowley then proudly, says, "That thing appears to be that familiar of one of you. One of you are the one who insisted on bringing it, so curtailing its behavior is one of your responsibility!"

Abyss Sarah then tries to say, "Um..but that isn't-"

Crowley interrupted Abyss Sarah, "But now is not the time for such prattle. You've a student orientation to attend! Go on, now. Make haste."

Abyss Sarah then asks, "Can you tell us about this school."

Crowley then looks at us in confusion, "Hm? Have you not fully regained consciousness? The timespace teleportation must have addled your memories...Well, these things happen, I suppose. I shall explain it to you while we walk. Truly, my magnanimity is boundless. *Ahem* This is Night Raven College. It is an institution for students the world over who demonstrate a rare aptitude for magic. It is the most prestigious academy of its sort in all of Twisted Wonderland. And I am Dire Crowley. Having been entrusted with its care by the chairman, I serve as headmage." My siblings and I look at Crowley with a blank face. "Only those who the Dark Mirror perceives as having a talent for magic are admitted to the college. Those who are selected are summoned to the campus through those 'gates,' which can appear anywhere. A black carriage bearing one such gate should have come to meet you."

I then say, "We never saw...the carriage instead we....-"

Crowley then says interrupted me, "What?! You never saw the carriage?!*Ahem* The black carriage serves to receive a student chosen by the Dark Mirror. At least it's supposed to. It too bears a gate that connects to this campus. And as you know, sending a carriage to meet someone on a special day is a time-honored tradition."

Abyss Sarah and I look at Henry and Henry explains, "It's how it works just ignore it."

Grim struggles, "Mmfff! Mmmmmmfff!"

Crowley then says, "Now, let us attend to your orientation."
