What I did on my vacation

Mary Smith, teacher in the New York primary school, took a copy at the top of the pile and started reading. All her pupils had to make this writing about what they had been doing on their last vacation. "Alexander Xanatos". The six-year-old kid of the multibillionaire had probably been in one of his father's many residences.

On my last vacation, I went to visit my grandmother in Avalon. She is the queen of the feys and she has a big castle. There are a lot of feys in the castle, some look like animals, some look like humans, a lot have pointy ears and there are gargoyles who guard them from the enemies. And there is a princess who married a peasant boy, like in fairy tales. They call the gargoyles the eggs, first I did not understand why, Guardian Tom had to explain me.

There is no television in Avalon but there were a lot of interesting things: beaches, a volcano, a magical pool where you can see every part of the island. A gargoyle wanted to take me for a glide over the castle and I had to show him that I could already levitate. It was funny because nearly everyone called me "young prince", although Angela still called me "Alex". Angela came with me too because she has family on the island (she is one of the gargoyles who guards the castle of my parents, like Lexington, Bronx, Goliath, Hudson, Brooklyn and Broadway). I was a bit sad, not to have the other gargoyles with me, I am very friend with Lexington but I was happy to see my grandmother.

My new friends showed me the place where Arthur Pendragon used to sleep (now he is around the world, looking for his mentor Merlin). They said there was also a sad story about it. I wanted to send a postcard to my mom and dad but there was no post station.

And finally, we went back home with Oberon's mirror because the mists of Avalon don't send you where you want to be, they send you where you need to be. But as time passes 24 times slower on Avalon, school had already begun for a week when I came back to school. I am sorry, I can't teleport yet, otherwise I would have warned you.

This is what I did on my vacation.

Mary read the text again several times and sighed. On the one hand, young Alex had a very particular sense of humour. On the other hand, he really needed a therapist.
