Arrival at Bellmuse Island (Private/Zoe)

After two hours on the high seas, the boat Alexandria was on docked at the Port of Bellmuse. As the ship’s crew prepared to dock, they informed the passengers that they will they will be allowed to disembark in a few minutes. As her fellow passengers got ready to disembark, Alexandria took a step back and admired the scenery.

The island was extremely beautiful. The waters were crystal clear, the trees were very vibrant, and the buildings were beautifully well-maintained. To Alexandria, Bellmuse Island was on par scenery-wise to her homeland, the Kingdom of Empyrea. After about five minutes, the boat crew reported that the ship had successfully docked and that it was safe to disembark. Soon after, Alexandria and the rest of the passengers started disembarking from the ship. She then made her way to the exited the dock and entered the pier.

The pier was bustling with activity. There were students walking around the pier, fisherman hauling in their catch, people fishing illegally, and people who were just admiring the oceanside view. As she made her way through the pier, Alexandria noticed that people were staring at her intensely. Instead of responding with a sharp glare, she responded in an extremely lady-like manor with a confident smile. To he honest, Alexandria didn’t hold it against them since she fully understood why they were looking at her. For one, she was an outsider and two, she was not wearing civilian clothing. To be exact, she was wearing her full knight’s uniform.

As few moments later, Alexandria approached the area where the fishermen have hauled their catch in for sale on the pier. As she got closer and closer, she caught sight of a teenaged girl with long brown hair which was tied in a ponytail slipping on the wet pier as she was about to look at the fish that the fisherman has hauled in. The teenaged girl then fell forward in a very quick fashion and was about to land face first into the pier. Alexandria quickly responded by walking forward slightly. A few seconds later, Alexandria caught the teenaged girl and stopped her from falling any further. There was only about a few inches between the teenaged girl’s face and the pier.

“Excuse me, Miss. Are you alright?” Alexandria asked the teenaged girl in a concerned yet lady-like fashion.

Alexandria didn’t expect for this turn of events to happen. One moment she was stopping the teenaged girl with long brown hair that was tied in a ponytail from falling on her face. The next, she was on the floor with the brown-haired girl on top of her with am embarrassed look on her face. Alexandria didn’t really care about herself since she was a tough teenaged girl. She was worry about the teenaged girl who fell on top of her.

“Excuse me, Miss. Are you alright?” Alexandria asked calmly once more as she got up and checked out her clothing. There was nothing too bad except that part of her cape had gotten wet. However, this was a relatively minor thing, so she turned her attention towards the teenaged girl in front of her.

She then began looking at the teenaged girl carefully to see if she was injured. Alexandria couldn’t see signs that she was injured. However, she had noticed that the teenaged girl was suffering from a bout of the “sorry syndrome”. Alexandria could help but be reminded of her maid back home in Empyrea who was the exact same way. So, Alexandria placed her hand on the teenaged girl’s shoulder before speaking.

“There is no need to apologize, Miss. There was no harm done. However, your current condition is my biggest concern now.” Alexandria spoke in a very calm yet charismatic tone.

“There is no need to thank me, Miss. I am glad to see that you are alright. To me, that is the most important thing.” Alexandria replied as she watched the brunette haired teenage girl smile nervously before speaking in an energetic manner. Alexandria couldn’t help but be reminded of her maid back at home. She couldn’t help but giggle in a very lady-like manner with her right positioned slightly over her mouth. Soon after, the brunette teenager soon began asking her questions about her journey to Bellmuse.

“You are correct, Miss. I am not from Bellmuse Island. My name is Alexandria Sigrdrífa Riessfeld and I am from the Kingdom of Empyrea. I have come to Bellmuse Island in order to attend Syne Academy. It is an honor to meet you.” Alexandria replied in an extremely formal fashion as she put her right hand over her heart and bowed respectfully.

“My journey was quite pleasurable. The waters off Bellmuse island are extremely beautiful and peaceful.” Alexandria added in a formal and respectful tone. As the Crown Princess of Empyrea, she was taught in the ways of diplomacy. This was the very first time she was away from home and she was determined to make her kingdom proud.

Alexandria couldn’t help but smile as she watched the sparkling eye of the brunette girl. A few minutes later, the brunette girl introduced herself as Zoe Isle. After introducing herself, the brunette girl welcomed her to the island of Bellmuse. Soon after this, she began talking about the various points of interest on the island. Among the point of interests that Zoe mentioned were Finnek Forest. Alexandria decided to make note of that point of interest for the time being. The enthusiasm that Zoe was showing when she was talking about the forest caused Alexandria to giggle in a lady-like manner. Zoey totally reminded her of her maid at home.

Suddenly, Alexandria noticed that Zoe had stopped talking before a rather sorry look appeared on her face. After a few seconds, Zoe then asked about Alexandria “What had brought her to Bellmuse?”. Soon after, Alexandria watched as Zoe tense up as if she had said something wrong. In response, Alexandria placed her hand gently on Zoe’s shoulder before giving her a very reassuring smile.

“Ms. Isle, there is no need to be so tense. You asked an honest question. There is no need to be afraid of me. Alexandria replied in a very calm and soothing tone. By this time, she saw that Zoe was talking incoherently and was freaking out. Alexandria was determined to calm the girl down.

I am quite willing to answer your question. My purpose for visiting the island is to attend Syne Academy. Syne Academy has extended me an invitation to attend the school. After hearing about the school’s reputation, I decided to accept. It was quite an honor to be accepted into the academy.” Alexandria added while maintaining the same calm and soothing tone.

Alexandria felt a sense of relief come over her as the brunette girl she was talking to relaxed. A few seconds later, Alexandria watched as the look of excitement appeared on Zoe’s face after mentioning that she has arrived on Bellmuse Island with the intentions of attending Syne Academy. A few seconds later, Alexandria was then literally bombarded with questions from Zoe about her invitation to attend Syne Academy. Alexandria thought about it for a bit in order to determine if she should tell the brunette girl about the reason why she was invited to the academy. Zoe seemed to be a pretty nice girl. She was clumsy, but she had no bad bone within her.

“Well, I was accepted into Syne Academy after helping a group of people fight off a random mass Grimm attack. Unfortunately, the story is a tad been too long for me to tell here. I shouldn’t be taking up any more of your time, Miss Isle. If I remember correctly, you were looking at the catch the fisherman brought in. Alexandria replied in a respectful and formal tone.
