Kravenwood School of Magical Arts (IC)

[The Jeffinator]

Vaan stared off into the sky, enjoying the warm breeze of a late summer afternoon. He had his back propped up against a rock on the beach, the ocean only feet away. Dressed comfortably in shorts and a tank top, he had been drawing in a sketch book, though now he was having trouble staying motivated.

Nerves, he suspected. Tomorrow he would make the trip back to school for his final year, and he was nervous that he would pale in comparison to the other genuises -- over the Summer he had received a letter saying he was accepted into the Psionics course. Trying to put it out of his mind, Vaan returned to his drawing, a picture of a family of bears in a great forest.

When he was finished, Vaan got up, brushed sand off his shorts, and headed back towards his house. The ground felt incredible on his bare feet, something he thoroughly enjoyed. He almost never wore shoes when home for the Summer, hating the confinement of his feet. As he walked through the village, he exchanged friendly greetings with all the townsfolk. Here, everyone knew everyone else.

Vaan turned a few streets and came upon a small two bedroom house -- home. It was cramped, but cozy. His parents gave him the bigger bedroom in the back of the house so that he had more room for when friends were over. As he walked into his room, he plopped down on his bed, and with a wave of his hand and a little magical focus, the mirror above his dresser came alive, showing images of recent events -- the news. Waving his hand several times, Vaan cycled through the channels until he found a show about sharks. (magic mirror television, hehe)

Content with the show, he sat back and watched. When his parents called that dinner was ready, he met them in the dining room.

"Cajun catfish, yes!" cried Vaan. That was his favorite meal. His parents laughed and they sat down to feast.

"My boy, almost all grown up..." said Nialda as they finished, slightly teary eyes. "One year left, honey, and then the adult world awaits you..."

"You're turning into a wonderful young man, son," added Remus, smiling. "You make us proud."

"Thanks, guys..." Vaan blushed, and then it was time for dessert.

The next morning...

Vaan and his parents said their goodbyes, having driven to the airport in Port Vero (by driving, I mean they used a magic-propelled carriage). From here, Vaan waved to Remus and Nialda as he borded an airship too Dalgon City. He found a seat and soon the ship was rising into the air, and then off it went.

After landing in Dalgon City a few hours later, Vaan caught a taxi carriage to the school. Kravenwood was a large castle with a courtyard, pool, greenhouses out by the lake, etc. Vaan carried his bags in through the large double doors, seeing groups of other students arriving as well. He made his was up to the male dorms, wondering who his roommate would be this year. For a long time, his friend Ronaldo had been his roommate, but Ron was a year older, and had thus graduated last year.

He picked a bed and plopped down, glad to be back at school for his final year. He began to wonder who his new roommate would be and who all would be in the Psionics classes.

[knight713]

Kris looked at himself in the mirror and quickly straightened his black tie. He smiled at himself. It was his last day of working at the Cats Eye café and bar he worked here for the past two years during summer break. He moved to Dalgon City a few years back it allowed him to be near the school.

He gotten to know the people and the patrons pretty well.

“ Hey Kris it’s about time we open you ready” A female quickly asked him as she opened the door to the room.

“ Hey Nikki I’ll be out” Kris said as he turned to her and gave the Blonde haired, tanned skin girl a friendly smile. She wore the same outfit like his, black pants white long sleeve shirt, a black vest, red tie instead of a black tie and a black choker. Unlike the other girls who wore dresses, She didn’t.

“ I hate to see you go it’s going to be boring without you hear” Nikki said as she leaned up against the door frame. “ you coming back here after you graduate?”

Kris turned to her and looked into her eye’s, he stared at for a moment and looked away from her.

“ I may it depends on what happens at the end of the year.”

“ Its going to be busy” she said with a sigh,

Nikki was right the night was busy a lot of them were students spending there last day with friends and family.

“ Man I’m beat” Nikki replied as she leaned up against the bar counter “ You want a drink?” she asked him as she poured two glasses with a clear liquid. She held it out to him and waited for him to take it.

“ You know I’m underage” he told her as he took a hold of it,

“ You’re a kill joy” Nikki pouted and made a face at him. She watched as he took it drank a part of it. She giggled as he made a face when he drank it. “ Not your type of drink”

“ Blah” Kris said as he sat it down

Kris watched as she drank the rest of hers drink in one gulp and finished off Kris’s drink. She quickly poured herself another drink and another one for Kris.

He reliantly took it but did it anyway since they weren’t going to see each other in a long time.

The next day Kris quickly awoken with a headache, Kris knew that he shouldn’t have drunk those drinks he had. But it was the last time he would hang out with Nikki he figured he owed it to her.

Kris quickly changed cloths and walked down the stairs and into the café, the shop was not open yet. He was allowed to stay in the room above the café the owner didn’t mind him doing it. He quickly gathered his things and left.

Kris stayed quite most of the drive to the school, it was his last year at the school and then to work at his new job when he got one.

He saw many familiar faces which he greeted them, he quickly made his way to his room he sat his hand on the door handle. He quickly opened the door and walked in he saw a familiar face laying on one of the bed. It was Vaan

“ how have you been” Kris asked him as he sat his belongings on the floor

[knight713]

Arshe quickly woke up with the sounds of the alarm coming from her alarm clock. She quickly turned it off and looked up at her ceiling. It was her final year at Kravenwood which was great.

“ I should get ready” Arshe said to herself as she looked around her room in kravenwood. Like a few students . She always stayed on the campus during summer break it was the only home she ever felt truly happy in.

She quickly put a pair of pants on and a blue shirt, she gave a stretch and wondered who her room mate was going to be. She quickly left her room and walked into the cafeteria and grabbed a bite to eat. As she walked into the cafeteria she saw other students getting food to eat.

She was soon joined by a trio of girls who quickly greeted her, all of them quickly began to talk about what they did over the summer, boyfriends and many other things.

“ What oh no I stayed around the school studying and going over things” Arshe told the girl who asked her what she did over the summer.

“ No I have yet to meet anyone yet,:” Arshe said as she ate her food “ All men are weaklings” She added softly.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucius was having fun he was torturing two younger students that were first years

“ Do you give up” Lucius asked them as he walked towards them, he wasn’t using magic yet. All he did was fight them or as he called it the tripped them and teased them with threats. He enjoyed that they begged for him to stop it amused him.

“ Alright I’ll stop but you have to join my gang” Lucius told them with a friendly smile. But his icey Blue eyes told another story. They were cold uncaring about anything else only himself.

He watched as they quickly agreed to what he said. As he looked up he saw a few familiar faces. Two of them wear Kris and Vaan, they were two of five that could beat him in a duel. He didn’t like it at all, in fact he was pissed off about it. One of his gang members question his powers. But he was silenced by Lucius

“ You guys take care of him” Lucius replied as he walked off, he wanted to see who would be his new room mate his last one left.

[Drakkwall]

Drake woke up to the sound of the birds' beautiful musicals and was soon up and stretching his body out of the kinks it had gotten from the many hours of rest. Grasping the metal bar in the ceiling above him the halfnaked wizard began to do pull ups and soon as he built up a sweat he began to preform some great acrobatics, and just as he held himself up in the air on the pole for a whole minute he heard a knock on the door and spoke up with sweat dripping down his brow.

"Come in."

In came his friend, and part time transmutation project, Haldren, who at the moment looked like a humanoid dog, Haldren had been a simple cat but Drake had transmutated him into a intelligent being and now used him to earn extra credit in magic, and Haldrne didn't mind as the transmutations let him learn to shapeshift.

"Come on Drake, the portal to the school will be open soon and you still haven't taken a shower of breakfast."

Leaping off the pole the wizard dried himself off before swiftly taking a shower, taking some bread, cheese and juice, before gathering his things and putting on his clothes. As he stepped out of the house, waving good bye to his family and relatives, a blue portal opened by the entrance to the large castle he lived in, and swiftly leaped through the opening, Haldren, in the shape of a winged cat, following him.''

Emerging on the other side Drake smirked at the sight of Kravenwood School of Magical Arts, his thigns in his feather weight trunk, his transmutational friend Haldren on his shoulder, still in the shape of a winged cat, the young wizard went to put his things in his dorm, his key and room number teleported into his pocket as he entered the grounds.

"Let's see who my roommate is this year."

[cats]

IC: I reached out my hand taking his. He firmly took it and danced around me as I danced around him. He smiled at me and I smiled at him. He knew nothing of me. I continued to dance about him and he drew me near. I firmly placed a hand on his chest letting him know I controlled how far apart we danced. The waltz moved on in its constant three beat rhythm. A slow repetitive tune easy to dance to. The dance had become second nature all I needed was the cue and my feet moved with out thought, much as I did every day of summer.

Tonight I was a "proper lady," tomorrow I would return to school were I was a "spoiled noble," but all the while I only desired to return home to be "me." Three beats to the dance, three beats to my life.

I smiled once more at the suitor. "Pardon me, but I would like a drink." I smiled and left even as he offered to get me some punch. I moved elegantly with the grace of a lady, my blue dress hoovering over the floor and my arms neatly at my sides clad in there long silk gloves. This wasn't me. I wonder what if that boy were to see the real me. The humble and poor child my parents raised, the strict athlete of the military academy, or even the two faced liar who denied herself to the whims of my aunt. Would he be the same? Would he be sympathetic? Or would he be disgusted? Disgusted that I wasn't truly the pawn he was led to believe.

I took a glass of the sweet red liquid. My mind drifted back to alchemical potions I memorized in years past.

"This is your last year at Kravenwood, is it not Aurora?" I heard the voice of one my aunts friends.

"Why yes, yes it is." I turned and smiled. It was Simeon one of Melissa's distant contacts. I saw him once a year at most.

"What will you do once your finished." His face was false, full of double talk. Even my aunt Melissa couldn't stomach to much of him. And yet he controlled much of the resources to the south. What I never knew, but something important enough for Melissa to keep him around.

"Well it is never to early to settle down." If I keep lieing to him like this, will my face become false too.

"Ah well if that is the case, my nephew is only a little older then you and looking for a bride."

Perhaps it will always be to soon settle down. I giggle softly and walked back to the dance floor, my prison for the day. I only hope aunt Melissa doesn't here about this.

And so the dance went on late into the night. Many hours later I took my shoes off in my room. It was 11:00 and I had an early day to come, but I wasn't ready to sleep. I pulled off my long gloves revealing two tattoo's. Melissa was quite mad when I arrived with them two years back, it was more then I had hopped for when I gave myself them months before at school.

I took of the skirt and in the thin clothes I had left on I set about another dance alone in my room. Like the waltz I had long passed memorizing it, the moves now were second nature. Once more there was three beats, but they were diffrent from the beats of the waltz or of my own existence. The beats were power, balance, and speed. I could move with the beats, I was in harmony with them.

I did sleep that night. Not much, but more then enough. The next day I awoke. I had packed my belongings some time ago. I had two types, dresses and fashion my aunt expected of me were in one case, I would take this case and not unpack it at the school. The other case was still packed from when I left school, never unpacked here at my "home." This case contained the real me, and I looked forward to unpacking it soon.

But I had one more farce to commit. I put on a pink sun dress. Put on slippers of eloquently woven leather. I grabbed a wide brimmed hat with a ribbon the same pink as the dress. Then I slowly, reluctantly, pulled up the long sleeves of silk gloves. They hid a part of me.

I quickly said good bye to my relatives. As much as I didn't understand them and they didn't understand me. We were family and they did take care of me, so the good byes were genuine, honest, and pure.

I took a carriage to the school and eagerly made my way up to my new room. There my new room mate stepped out. After seven years it finally happened, Arshe was my room mate. This would be a tough year.

"Not a word about the dress Arshe." I entered the room dropped one case on my bed and the other in my closet. I closed the door on my summer and returned to my bed, very eager to unpack myself.

[Drakkwall]

Drake blinked at the lonesome room, he was put on the top room in the eastern tower, only a single bed, lots of space, and no roommate. "Wow... did I do something good last year or do my teachers think this is a punishment for that tentacle beast I accidentially created when Professor Leslie interrupted my concentration? Then again all my female classmates got impregnated by its eggs, including the teacher... good thing the birthing only went for a week, though the fact that those things got flushed down the toilet while stil lalive, and while I was trying to warn them that they were amphibian, didn't help in killing them as they now live in the sewers and the wetlands... Oh well I still got an A+ for creating a new kind of monster specie."

Blinking out of his long self conversation the young wizard shrugged and threw his bag onto the bed, twisted his hand to make it open and began to unpack his things while Haldrin, who might be considered to be a familiar, curled up on the newly unpacked red silk pillow he so loved. The young wizard soon finished up and stretched his arms before looking otu the window. "The messenger bird with my schedule should come soon.

[knight713]

Arshe smiled when she thought about Aurora in her dress, well since she was a noble she was required to wear it.

Arshe gave thanks that she wasn't born as a noble she wouldn't be able to handle all the attention, people pretendeing to be friendly like to you.

" I'm going for a walk" Arshe quickly told the girls that were with her, she quickly left them to talk about girl things which she never really cared for it. She was considered a tom boy by many.

Arshe quickly roamed the halls of the school saying hello to a few students that she knew. she saw two figures that she knew one of which she didn't care for.

" Lucius" Arshe muttered under her breath she had fought with him a few times or more less argued, she didn't like how he did his matches he would toture his opponents into surrendering. If they didn't he would continue to attack them with spells.

The other person she saw was Kris Darkling, she seen him fight a few times his skills was pretty good. She only talked to him a few times he was friendly but he hardly ever talked about his past. All that she knew was his parents were Guard Rangers.

" i guess he's going to continue the family tradition" Arshe said as she watched Kris vanish up the stairs and into the boys dorm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucius

Lucius quickly enterd his room he didn't see his roomate yet, it didn't bother him at all. Since he always made his roommate his servant, the last one who didn't do as he said. The man had an accident with one of his spells. Almost everyone knew he had something to do with it. But many didn't want to say anythng about it.

" Well i was hoping i would have a new room mate " Lucius said with a smile on his face.

" I guess they finally got tired of me turning them into my servants" he laughed out loud. he laugh was cut short as he heard the door handle turn and his knew roommate walked in.

Lucius looked at the kid he was a short fellow who wore glasses, he looked like a nerd. even the stacks of books in his hands didn't help the kid much.

the kid looked at lucius and terror filled his eye's he quickly thought why did he have to get him for a room mate this year.

[Drakkwall]

Having spent most of the morning packing up, and waiting for his schedule, which should have arrived hours ago, Drake was surprised that a quarter past one his schedule arrived, along with an important message detailing the food times, extra credits and the likes. And guess what? He would miss lunch if he didn't get down to the cafeteria within the next five minutes.

And that's the reason why he is currently running like crazy while cursing in four different languages, his companion Haldren flying after him, still in the shape of a winged cat. "Oh that fucking messenger bird! I am sure he's trained to give me the schedule and important messages the last! This is sooooo planned by my teachers!"

"Or it is just you being lazy."

"Shut up Haldren or I will transmutate you into a winged toad that feeds on feces for a week!"

Drake shouted in anger before he leaped into the cafeteria, just as the serving was about to end and slide along the floor to the front of the desk and raised a pointing finger into the sky, shouting from his position on the floor.

"Well done steak with smashed potatoes, cream sauce, apple pie, one bowl of tuna, a bowl of milk and one big mug of milk!!"

Getting up from the floor, dusting off his robes, the magician took the food that was put down on a tray and walked towards an empty seat. Giving Haldren his two bowls of tuna and milk the wizard began to chow down on his meal, though half way through it he began to feel a tingling sensation and sighed.

"Oh lords... the curse it starting to act up again... I better eat fast before I have to eat raw meat again..."

[The Jeffinator]

"Hey Kris," said Vaan with a smile. He stood up, walked over, and clasped Kris's arm. "Good, I was worried they were going to room me with some freak like that Lorn guy."

Vaan talked with his friend for a while, then looked at his magicom (a little mirror thing that flips open and acts as a cellphone/clock/minicomputer/portable gaming console), "Well, almost time for lunch. Shall we?"

As they walked towards the lunch room, they saw someone sitting in a corner with his back against the wall. It was Lorn. He was creepy. He just stared at them as they walked past, giving the impression that he hated everyone and everything. That assessment was almost entirely true.

Over the course of the evening, Vaan got reaccustomed to the school, reuniting with old friends. Bright and early the next morning, Vaan was the first one to the Psionics class. He axiously awaited the rest of the students to see who else made it in. His smile turned to a frown as Lorn walked in the door. Oh great, we get a freak in our class. How did he make it in?

[knight713]

Kris new immediately who Vaan was talking about, Kris could feel Lorn's eye's following them as they walked by him. He never really got a chance to talk to the Lorn guy. not that it bothered him it was just that they never had the same classes yet.

Kris sat with Vaan and talked about what they did over the summer, Vaan seemed to have fun over the summer. Where as Kris just worked at the Cat Eye's. unless you call working with almost a full female staff fun.

after lunch Kris parted with Vaan to see some old friends, and to help some of the first years around. The dean gave him this job personaly he didn't know why.
it was late in the evening when he was able to get back to his room, it was a pretty good day. He hadn't got into a fight with anyone yet. Kris qucikly fell onto his bed not bothering to change out of his cloths. he would change once he woke up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was late in the evening when Arshe got back to her room as she walked in she didn't see Aurora in the room yet.

" I wonder if she went the whole day in the dress" Arshe said to herself as she ploped down on her bed. She slowly brought her hand to her left side of her face. Her fingers slowly traced the scar that covered her left eye. she could feel the four uneven lines that was made froma broken bottle that her father attacked her with.

" I shoudln't be thinkign about that man anymore" She replied as she looked at the spear that hung on the wall. The spear belonged to her mother, she never had any real good memories of her mother only pictures. After her mother died her father gave it to her as a gift. It took her most of her life to get good with it. She would practice almost everyday improving herself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucius thought it was fun to have this kid as a roomate he did everything he told him. The kid would even allow himself to be the plaything of several of the girls that hung out with Lucius.

" Get my lunch" Lucius quickly ordered the boy, he watched as the boy quickly ran to get his lunch. All the while members of his gang laughed as the boy ran to get the food.

" So lucius are you going to challange that Kris kid again" one of his friends asked him as he sat his own food onto the table.

Lucius looked at him, a evil smirk creeped onto his face.

" yes but if i do it will be unoffical and i may have you guys help me" he said as his new servant brought him his food.

after lunch he left to have some fun with the first years, but he quickly decided not to once he saw Kris was with him.

Once Lucius made it back to his room let his new servant sleep he had a big day. He knew that this kid ne wwho he was and what woudl happen to him if he says anything to anybody. God fear is such a fine thing. lucius repleid to himself as he fell asleep.

[Drakkwall]

"Well it was a good month, now I just have to wait a week and I will be back to normal." The deep rumbling voice of Drake stated to himself as he walked out of ther cafeteria, his body in the shape of a humanoid drake, his clothes magically shifting to fit his new body size.

"I don't know, I think I prefer you in this shape boss, it makes you more fitting for hunting."

Sighing to himself the drake man walked down the hall, a coupel of new students running from him in fear or peeing themselves.

"Oh would you stop calling me boss when I am in this shape Haldren. It's getting old really fast. Oh hi there Professor, how have you been?"

He asked the beautiful blond sorcerer, his teacher in transmutation, who gave him a stern glare. "Better now that that horrible thing your experiment put into me was put down the drain and won't torment my dreams again."

"Oh come one Professor, if you hadn't disturbed my concentration it wouldn't have happened! I was going to create an amphibian creature with four arms, not an amphibian tentacle beast! And I warned you nto to flush them down the toilets! It coudl have been solved if you burned them but instead we have tentacle monsters littering the sewers and the nearby wetlands!"

The professor got a light blush on her face before she coughed and turned her stern look on again.

"In either case, I will not be your transmutation teacher, that will be Professor Wingsprout. I hope that he wil lbe able to control your-"

"Awesome! He's my favorite transmutation teacher! I can still remember that Chimera he created, along with the suggestionsm and notes he gavem e for my own projects, it was he who encouraged me to make that amphibian beast, and the oen to give me A+ for it! Thank you so much professor!"

Walking away with a spring o nhis clawed feet the wizard didn't see the frozen form of his former transmutatio nteacher, nor how she broke down sobbing into a frantic wreak, muttering ''they are horrors, they are horrors'' over and over.

[cats]

IC: As I walked past Drake and my transmutation teacher from several years past; I shot Drake a dark look. The teacher was far from my favorite as well. She instructed transmutations but one thing was for sure she didn't transmute her hair blond.

I had not returned to my room all night, and I was now regretting not taking a bath. The day before I had changed from the horrible pink dress into my normal, flexable clothes and gone a ways away from the school. There I trained myself and meditated. I then spent the night under the stars simply enjoying the freedom. But now I lacked the time to change before my first day of psionics.

I entered the room and very few were present. I was there, Lorn the fay was there, Vaan of water was there, and then there was the teacher. She wasn't a normal teacher like I had expected. This was dean Laidon, a dean both respected and feared. She always seemed to know more then she let on, and apparently psionics was the reason why.

[knight713]

Kris quickly awoke to the sound of his alarm clock going off, Kris quickly reached out and shut it off. He gave one last streach and looked all around, he didn't see Vaan anywhere. which he figured that he went in early. Kris quickly changed his cloths as he did he he looked at his right arm. He could see that the wrapping was starting to come off.

" Well i better fix it" Kris told himself as he undid the wrapping, on his right arm was a black dragon. the way it looked was strange it was different from other dragon tattoos.

Kris quickly put on a black coat and looked at himself in the mirror. he had one green eye while the other was red. he had many people ask why they were different colors. which he didn't say much.

Kris quickly ran out of his room and head towards his class psionics he was able to get in the class. It was more by chance that he got in, the test was hard but he was able to get in. Many of the other students who took it figured that he would never get in. But there was a few who said he could do it.

As he walked up to the door he saw a familar face one that he disliked, it was Lucius.

" Well hello there Kris" Lucius said with a friendly tone
in his right hand was a cane which he held it at a angle.

" Lucius" Kris replied slowly as he looked at him

Lucius quickly started to rasie his cane up into the air but stopped suddenly when he saw Kris raise his left hand and saw the braclet he wore. he looked at the red stone which shined in the light.

" Fine Fine I give" Lucius replied as he held his left hand in the air as a sign of defeat.

" Sure you do." Kris whispered he watched him go in first and then follow after him. As he walked in he saw several people he knew, Vaan, Lorn and he saw Aurora in the class as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arshe quickly followed after Aurora to class psiconics she was lucky to get in she spent most of the previous summer getting ready for the test. She was barely able to pass but she did. She quickly ran past Drake and the transmutation. Drake she didn't like him not at all.

Arshe quickly walked into the class right after she saw Lucius and Kris walk in.

" Great that idiot is in the class" Arshe replied when she saw Lucius enter into the class room. she quickly walked in right after Kris she saw Vaan, Lorn and Aurora in the class as well.

" I wonder who else got in the class" She said to herself as she took a seat next to Aurora

[cats]

IC: I smiled warmly at the class. We had a mix of students. Caring and compassionate souls, souls already marked by darkness, and those who simply did not care. It was an unexpectedly large class this year. A class filled with those that had a gift. How they would use it I could not say but it was my job to nurture them all the same.

I put away my smile and turned around writing my name on the board. I was waiting for the last few students to arrive. Back in my office I had the case reports on each of these students it contained detailed histories, there test scores, and pictures. Few if any of them knew this but the school had picked them for this class seven years ago when they first entered Kravenwood. There entrance exams for last year were simply the final confirmation of what many of us had suspected for some time now.

I looked forward to watching this crop come into full bloom. It always happened this year, the 7th year. I was particularly curious about some of the trouble makers from years prior. Each time I turned a blind eye to them was very deliberate waiting for the time to be right.

"While we wait for class to begin I am curious who can solve this patern." I then wrote on the board.

O

"What is the next letter in the sequence and why?"

[The Jeffinator]

Vaan scratched his head at the Professor's riddle. How the hell am I supposed to know that? he thought to himself. It seemed most of the others in the class didn't know the answer either. Just as he thought the teacher was going to tell them the answer, Lorn sighed and spoke up.

"That's simple," he said, disgusted with what he thought were dumb classmates, "They are the first letters of numbers. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven. The next in the sequence would be E for Eight." Lorn did not smile or seem pleased at his answer. What nonsense. How did these idiots get into this class? he thought to himself.

"I see it now, ha," Vaan laughed to himself.

[knight713]

Kris looked at the board and tapped his fingers on top of his desk,

" what is the answer" Kris told himself as he looked at the board,it should be simple but yet he didn't know the answer.

Once Lorn answer it he saw it, he felt stupied for not seeing it right away

" I see" Kris replied as he leaned back in his chair

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucius smiled as he looked at the board it took him a while to figure it out but he was about to answer but he was beat by Lorn with the answer.

" Good job Lorn you figured it out" Lucius said with a friendly smile on his face

he was surprised Kris didn't answer it first, sure the question was hard yet it was also so simple at the same time which it made it hard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arshe was stumped she didn't know what would the answer be she went through every alphabet configuration but she still couldn't figure it out. Once she heard Lorn answer it she then saw it and gave a sigh. How could she not see it before.

" seshs" Arshe whispered to herself once she heard Lorn answer the questine

[cats]

Aurora: I looked at the puzzle and very quickly noticed, I simply didn't care. Let some one else figure it out. I waited patiently and before long some one answered. Another said he almost had it. I didn't believe him though, it was likely an ego driven lie.


-------------------
Laidon: It took ten minutes or so but the answer arrived, given by Lorn. "That was fast enough. At least for some of you. Others would of taken more time." Several additional students arrived.

I erased the board. "Psionics will be like that. Some of you will get it quickly. Others will not. But understand when I say your all here for a reason, just as all the other seventh years are not here for a reason."

I paused to let that statement sink in. Not that it was meant for every one, and most wouldn't get it until later. "It is for this reason that the fallowing rule exists. You are not to share the lessons of this class with any one on the outside. Psionics is amoung the most useful of magics but also the most risky. These lessons require you to use them wisely and would likely kill the unwise. Your progress will be slow, but there will be progress."

[cats]

IC: "Okay now for today quickly gather your belongings. This first lesson isn't something that can be learned in a class." I reached under the desk and grabbed my cold iron katana. I was always careful with it, avoiding contact with the blade. That contact would cause rust to form, and temporarily suppress the magic of my immortal body. Neither was a welcome proposition.

After the class had there belongings, I took them deep into the forrest. We walked for several miles. I listened carefully to the class's complaints, I was going to push them with this walk but not to hard. I had no need to stop and rest because I do not breath. Humans, azurians, faye, and the like did have to breath however and stopping to catch there breath would have to be done once on the way there.

After about an hour and a half we stopped. We cut into the time of the other classes and when asked I answered "I took the liberties of excusing you from your other classes, just today. Your out on a field trip you know."

Then at last we came to it. An old and decrypted home. It was a small place, unchanged since I first entered it so long ago. The house was four or so rooms down stairs and one upstairs bedroom.

"If you look behind you, you'll notice there is no trail. That is because this is a very dangerous place. None of you are to ever enter this house with out the supervision of a dean. Nor are you to get some one else to enter it." I shot a look at two diffrent students both of which were already contemplating sending people in.

"This is a haunted house. So to speak. A grand illusionist died here before I was born. Inside you'll find a treasure, I will not tell you what it is, but that treasure is your first graded task. The first one to bring it here will get a 100%. The rest of you will get grades depending on what you find inside. Of coarse inside you may not even be able to find yourselves. Good luck and keep safe. We leave here when all of you have returned or when night fall comes. If you get lost sit down and try to stay sane. I will fetch you before night fall."

The students quickly moved to the front door. "Only enter one at a time." There was no harm in entering as a group, but this was more dramatic. I looked up at the sky, I couldn't see it threw the thick green forest. The first three or so had gone in. I closed my eyes and concentrated. It was precisely 10:15.

I looked back at the line, the next one went in. I was some what surprised that a fight hadn't broken out over the line. I suppose the brashest few went in first and no one still out here was fool enough to argue in front of me.

I reached into a bag on my belt and pulled out a vial of amber liquid. I uncorked it and dumped it on the ground soon there after a chair appeared. I sat calmly in it.

The line was down to the last two. "You two go in together. It doesn't matter once your inside every one is alone or had you not noticed when you open the door no one is inside that first room."

I closed my eyes again and focused. Nearly every one was still in that first room. This house of illusions was quite amazing. All the senses were fooled, even ones mind would have tricks played on it. No two people ever saw the same thing and no two trips were ever alike. The only illusion every one ever saw was the house itself. It appeared old and run down, it was still in pristine condition however, it appeared to be 5 to 7 rooms but yet it was far more.

[The Jeffinator]

Vaan entered the house and instantly, he felt warm. The door slammed shut, startling him. He turned around and grabbed the door knob, but it turned to dust in his hands. He looked around, and his parents appeared before him. They did not speak, but they were smiling at him. Suddenly, the floor turned to sand, the walls crumbled away -- he was on the beach, back home. He and his parents were fishing, as happy as could be. He was so deep in the illusion he totally forgot he was still in the house.

As Vaan and his parents took a boat out to fish better, the clear blue sky suddenly darkened. Black clouds rolled in, thunder and lightning and rain came raging. Waves crashed against the boat, and the shore line vanished. Dozens of water spouts touched down from the skies, whirlpools began spinning. Vaan's parents screamed as the water spouts fused into a giant one, and they were ripped out of the boat by the winds.

Staring in horror, Vaan began crying and screaming. The water spout pulled him, and as he flew towards it, a face appeared in the cyclone -- he was flying right into the mouth of an evil smile. He screamed as loud as he could, and then it ate him. All was dark and silent, and then he saw his parents' dead bodies floating in front of him. He started to scream again, and then he was falling.

Everything was red as he landed. The rocky barren land, the sky, the distant mountains -- everything. Flames rose up out of holes placed sporadically around the ground, crimson-skinned people walked back and forth and in circles. He tried to ask them where he was, but they seemed to not notice him. He then noticed his parents were there, red skin and all.

"Mom, Dad!" he called to them, but they ignored him. He cried their names over and over, but to no avail. He ran over and grabbed his father, spinning him around hard. "Look at me!!!"

He was back in the room, looking at his reflection in a mirror. He suddenly remembered himself. His reflection began talking. "You are so like your father. Will you become just like him?"

"I hope so," said Vaan, "he is my hero." The reflection shook his head, and sudden flames consumed the walls. Vaan thought about it for a moment, and then a lightbulb went off. "I will be like my father, but not his exact duplicate. I will be my own man, I will live my life and make my mistakes. His life is his and mine is mine."

"Hmmm..." the reflection contemplated, and then smiled and nodded. "Do not become a clone of your father. You must be you, not him. You have known this all along. Your desire to impress him by being exactly like him has created a storm of confusion within you. That has now been lifted."

The reflection smiled again, and then the mirror turned into a door. "Well, off to the next room, then," and he walked through it.
__________________________________________

Lorn walked into the front room, which turned into a wonderful green garden with butterflies and little critters running around. He frowned at the site, reaching over to touch a flower. It turned black and shriveled up the second he touched it. The grass died beneath his feet. He smiled. The entire garden became a dark nightmare, everything shrouded in shadow. Demons of all kinds, shapes, and sizes appeared, a hungry look in their eyes.

Just as they were about to move in on Lorn, he snapped his fingers and a crown encrested with dark jewels appeared in his hand. He smiled to them all, set the crown on top of his head, and pointed to them. "I am now your king. Bow before me, fools."

The demons stared at him for a long moment, and then began dropping to their knees. They all bowed, and then four dark riders and their horses came trotting up, carrying a door. Lorn smiled as they set it down, opened it, and he proceeded to the next room.

[knight713]

" Well I guess you and Vaan will get hurt since both of you are unwise" Lucius said with a laugh. But he quiuckly cut it short once he saw the teacher gave him a stern look.

" Do you want to have the rematch now?" Kris quickly asked him as he turned his head to look at him. He watched as Lucius gave him a smile and gave a slight wave with his hand.

" I wonder whats he's problem" Arhse said to herself wondering what happened between Kris and Lucius. She had heard he defeated him with ease and ever since he still tries to challnage Kris to a fight.

She had heard that Lucius was considered one of the strongest fighers in the school. for him to be deated by another who is considered to be a middle class fighter was surpriseing.

Kris followed the rest of the class as the teacher lead them to a unknown location. He kept his eyes on Lucius the inter time. He didn't trust him at all.

" Wow a intresting place" Lucius replied with a smile as he tipped his hat up and looked at the house. It was no fun if he couldn't send anyone into the house. But he kept hi complant to himself he didn't want to anger the teacher not yet.

Lucius was the third one to enter the house as he walked through he saw the room change. The room grew larger and inside the room he saw all the serants he had and his own men looking at him evily.

A wicked smile came over his face as they approached him, his icey glare never left his face.

" So this is a illusion" Lucius replied he soon raised his cane up and a bolt of lightning shot from his cane. He watched as the figures were soon electicuted their screams filled the room. he was clearly enjoying himself. he soon smelled the burning flesh emitting from their bodies. once he smelled that he stopped his attack.

His gaze soon fell upon the chared and burnt bodies, another smile crept on his face. It was as if he was pleased with what he had done. a door suddenly appeared and he walked through it a smile on his smile as he went on through.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arshe waited for everyone else to go first she was in no hurry to enter this house. She was second to the last one to go in She slowly took a deep breath and walked into the house. Her eyes where closed when she walked in as she opened them she saw that she was at home.

" WHy am I here" Arhse asked herself as she went from room to room. she suddenly stopped when she walked into the dinning room. Setting in the chairs where her father and and her mother. She instantly knew it was her mother. Both of them stopped what they were doing and looked at her,

Terror filled her eyes as she looked into both of their lifeless eyes.

" No it can't be true" Arhse shouted as she backed up towards the door. She watched as they raised there arms out to her. Arshe quickly ran to the front door and tried to open it. But it wouldn't open no matter how stronge she pushed on it. the door wouldn't open. With one finale push it flung open sending her down to the floor.

As Arshe looked up she saw several male figures looking at her with hungery eyes.

" No stop" she shouted as shsaw their hands tear her cloths off of her body, She quickly was able to move away from the boys but she stopped right in fornt of herself. who ever this person was looked eaxctly like her. But this person didn't hide her left eye.

" Get up what are you doing" She asked Arshe

" Who are you" Arshe asked the female figure as she tried to hide her body with her amrs. But this other figure didn't hide her body she displayed everything unasamed.

" I thought you promised us that you would never let a man touch you like that" she said as she summoned three men to her. Arshe wathced as they started to kiss her, their hands rubbing her pussy, they soon begun to grope her breast. Licking and biting her nipples. All this time she was moaing in plesure.

" She what i mean its fun having men at your feet" She said as he held onto the neck of one of the boys.

" No!" shouted as she stood up and looked at herself. " even though you look like me your not me" arshe began as she made a fist.


" I will not let anyman have there way with me" She added as she punched the figure. suddenly she swung her hand, she saw in her hands was her spear it cut the female figure into. she watched as the figure vanish in a mist. Along with the men that were with her.

Arshe gave one last look at the men who soon vanished from sight. suddenly her entire surrouding changed. she was stadning in the dinning room.

She was also shocked to see that her spear was still in her hand,she didn't remember summmoing it but yet here it was.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kris was the last one to walk into the house, he went with Arshe but he went in first. He put his hands in his pockets once he entered the house. He could see fairly well considring that there was not light source. As he made his way what he considerd to be the living room.

suddenly the whole room change stone walls quickly sprung up from out of no where. Torches littered the walls given light to the room.

" I know this place, " Kris replied as he placed his right hand on the stone wall.
" It seems so distance but yet so familiar." He add as he conitued his way.

Once he enter a room where many strange writtings filled the walls, Kris suddenly dropped to his knees grippng his right hand. he quicky pulled his right sleeve up and reveiled the bandagesopn his rigth . to his surprise the dragon tattoo could be seen. it was glowing red, burning through the bandages.

Suddenly the the flames shot out from his arm and landed right in front of live. the fire felt hot but as he touched it he didn't get burned by the flames. Suddenly the flames quiclky took the form o f adragon head and spoke to him.

" Why do you seek power." It asked him

" What do you mean" Kris asked him as he stood up his left hand still gripping his right arm.

" What is the reason you want to gain power, is it to avenge your parents death or was it to kill the monster that took her." It replied as flames shot all around.

" To beable to protect those who can;t protect themselves" Kris answered, he was still unsure of his answer was correct but he answered it anyway.

" I see then, then my power shall be yours" It replied.

the flames quickly flew to his right arm and wrapped it self around his arm.,
after the flames had died down he could see that the tattoo had returned on his arm.

as he looked ahead of himself he saw flames shoot upwards from the floor and quickly took the form of a door. without hesitating he walked through it

IC: I was the fourth one to enter the room. Much to my surprise after entering I saw the the three others clearly again. Still something seemed off. Then I looked down I was in a sort of dress completely foreign to me. It was one piece, long sleeved, and purple. The short skirt had long lavender socks. My long hair also seemed unnaturally orange. Of coarse my hair wasn't nearly as orange as the swet shirt the other girl in the room wore. I hadn't met her before but she seemed nice enough, she had a sort of short and think with out being fat charm to her. Her three freckles on each cheek complimented her glasses nicely.

Then we had to boys in the room. One had a shaggy goatee, messy brown hair, a green shirt and brown pants. He had a summoning circle before him and was casting a spell. The other was Fred. Fred liked to pair with me on assignments though some times he took the freckled girl instead. He wore a white shirt with blue pants and blue color. He had a flamboyant and yet small orange scarf.

The young lady in the orange shirt introduced herself as Velma and I shook her hand. "So the four of us have a mystery to solve." At that moment the shaggy character finished his spell and what I think was a great dane appeared.

I smiled warmly. "So what do you think the treasure is?"

The shaggy one quickly replied. 'I'm more worried about the ghost.'

Then to my surpise the dog chipped with 'Yeah.'

Fred then interjected "Well we won't find either one here. Lets go gang."

[knight713]

Lucius was enjoying himself it this so called haunted house, it would be more fun if he could trick others into coming into the house.

" Maybe i could do it and leave them there" Lucius replied to himself as he continued along his way. the sound of his cane hitting the floor echoed all around giving the hallway a more spooky theme.

" I wonder what this treasure is" Lucius said as he stopped by a door, with his cane he slowly pushed it opened and walked into the room/.

His eye quickly scanned the room, he could tell by sight that it was a womans room. In one cornor he saw a table with a elegant silver framed mirror. Luicus slowly walked up to the table and looked at the things on top of the table.

He saw a hair brush, a smaller golden and silver frame hand mirror, he slowly picked it up and looked at himself in the mirror. as he looked in the mirror he gave a smile. h equickly put it back where he had found it.

His eyes was soon caught by a small box, it was a medium sized of a gary color. The box looked old but unlike the other items on the table it wasn't in a fade color or covered in dust.

" well this way be the treasure i'm looking for" Lucius replied as he reached for it. But as he got ready to pick it up he saw another hand reached for his and took a hold of his hand.

Lucius slowly looked up and saw that it was his own reflection, but it was different the face, eyes looked more eviler.

Lucius knocked the other figures hand away and looked at himself once again. He watched as the figure lounged forward and grabbed him by the shoulders. the other figure begun to dragged him into the mirror. its evil smile glaring at lucius.

Lucius found it amazing that he was going to be killed by himself, Lucius quickly steady himself with one hand. In the mirror he saw another box like the one he was reacing for. smiling to himself he quickly reached for it with his free hand and grabbed it before the firgure could react.

Well at least i'll get two treasures Lucius thought to himself as he looked back at his eviler self. He quickly raised his cane up and put it in front on the evil self face. He slowly whispered somthing, the evil figure looked at Lucius for a brief second. A blind light flashed into his eyes and the evil figured let go rubbing its eyes. its screams of pain filled the room, as it stopped rubbing his eyes he gave lucius a deadly look. But it quickly left as lucius rasied his cane up. The figure quickly raced forward hoping it could stop what lucius was planning on doing but it was to late. Lucius quickly smashed the mirror into peices.

" well that was fun" Lucius replied as he picked up the two boxes,

" I wonder if we get to keep the treasure" he said to himself as he decided to find his way out.

[The Jeffinator]

After making his way through a series of rooms, Vaan came to one that looked like a long throneroom. There were stained glass windows along both walls, and a large red carpet with golden trim leading to a shining gold throne. It was encrusted with jewels of all shapes and colors, and sitting in it was a young king. As Vaan approached the teenage ruler, he looked up and smiled.

"Hello, Vaan," the king said. "The treasure you're looking for is right here--" he held up a large red ruby "--but in order to obtain it, you must take a blood oath of obedience. Everything you have ever wanted -- power, fame, fortune -- it will all be yours. But you must do as I say. Can you do that?"

Vaan thought about it for a moment. "Yes, I think so."

"Then kill the one you care for the most," said the king. Suddenly, an image of Aurora appeared before him. Vaan's eyes grew wide. He had always had a crush on her, but was she the one he cared for the most? The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He secretly admired her, though he never would have admitted it.

"But..." Vaan looked from Aurora to the king holding the ruby.

"Tsk tsk tsk," said the king. "Kill her now, or I will banish you from this house and the treasure will never be yours. Take this sword. Now."

"Yes, Master..." Vaan said, walking over and taking the sword. He raised it to chop down Aurora, and then swung and beheaded the king. His body turned to black mist and then rematerialized. Vaan flung the sword through a window, shattering it. The king came flying at him, and he realized he only had time to choose one -- Aurora or the ruby. Cursing himself, he grabbed the girl and dove out the window. When he made it to the other side, he was back in the front room, and the door to the outside cracked open. He looked down to the hand that was holding Aurora, and in her place was the ruby, but it reflected her face smiling at him.

"Okay..." He said to himself, then walked outside and handed the ruby to Professor Laidon.

_________________________________________

Lorn made it through several rooms, and then he came upon a dark cave. There was a cloaked sorcerer standing near some black candles chanting. Lorn approached him, and the figure turned around, revealing glowing red eyes. He spoke in a venomous tone.

"Lorn... hahaha," he said, a cackling laugh. "I sense the darkness in your heart, boy. You desire to plummet the world into chaos... You want to hear the agonized screams of those that oppose you... And you shall have it all, my son, all of it. All you need to do is bow before me. Pledge your allegience to the Dark Crown, and it shall be yours..."

"But, you see, kind sir," Lorn said with a smile, "I already have the Dark Crown. See? It's already upon my head. You will pledge your allegience to MY Dark Crown, kind sir."

"You dare defy me?" spat the man. "Do you have any idea who I am?! I am your father!" he threw his hood back.

"Father..." Lorn said quietly. "I'm sorry, father. Please, a hug for your son?"

"Yes..." smiled the man. "Come hug your father, and then bow before me..."

Lorn held on tight to his father, and then dropped to his knees. On the way down, he grabbed the dagger from the old man's belt and sliced open his stomach. The man screamed in pain and then Lorn rose up swiftly, shoving the knife into his throat.

"I will bow before no one, not even my own father!" spat Lorn, and then his father died. The scenery changed and he was back in the main room. He walked outside and handed the Dark Crown to Professor Laidon. "I'll be keeping this, just so you know," he told her with a wicked grin. That house was rather fun.

IC: 'Okay gang, we have to find the treasure. Lets split up. Daphne and I will go this way.' I looked at Fred why was he calling me Daphne? 'Then you three go that way.' He pointed to the kitchen and Velma, the Shaggy one, and the dog went off.

Fred and I went up stairs where we quickly found a dusty library. Fred looked at statues and paintings about the room. I had a different idea, what if the treasure was a book of some sort. Unfortunately the library was to expansive to search. Then I had my bright idea, what if I use divination magic to find the book I want now, with out looking at them all. A sort of skip to the end solution.

I closed my eyes and focused on the enchantment. The runes lit up in my mind a deep blue color. Then I opened my eyes finding that color glowing around the book I needed. I walked over to that case and began to reach out and take it when Fred interrupted.

'Daphne I found a switch' There was a loud click and the book case spun around trapping me in a dimly lit passage on the other side.

"Fred help me!" I called as loud as I could then quickly remembered the book. I grabbed it and read the title. 'Mystery Cliches' by Tommy P. Opal. I felt bitter and tricked and slid it back only to have a small sheet of paper fall out.

It was a letter with a reference to some floor boards and a treasure there in. I smiled and pocketed it when I heard a loud click. The book case spun around again and I found myself back in the library with Fred.

"Lets go check in on the others."

As we reached the stairs suddenly we found the others running up to us and a green skin ghost chasing them. We darted down the hall as fast as we could and dove threw one door the ghost close behind. Then I found myself back in the hallway three doors down from the ghost. So I ran into the door across the way finding myself 2 doors up from the ghost and I kept running like this. I would run in one door and out another those running besides me ever changing. Then one of them brought a wheel barrel and we ran with it. Eventually I found myself colliding with the ghost and all of us the dog included were suddenly in a run away wheel barrel speeding down the stairs.

We slammed into a wall next to the main entrance. All of us thrown away from the wreckage of the cart except for the ghost which had a chandelier fall on him trapping him.

Velma spoke up 'And now to unmask him. The illusionist ghost is none other then Principle Berkly!'

I looked at Velma confused and Fred spoke up and explained an over elaborate scheme to get the small reward which was indicated by the letter in my pocket. The Royal Rangers showed up and haled him away.

The other turned to me. One by one they offered me the treasure. I went over to a loose floor bored and lifted it revealing a copy of 'Love's First Mist' I smiled at the immensely valuable booked and walked out of the mansion with it in hand.

But I had a funny feeling. First off not all that transpired here made much sense. Sure it seemed real enough but not to logical. The other unsettling thing was the book seemed to lead me out of house. I felt like it was a warm hand leading me out rather then me walking with book in hand.

[knight713]

Kris quietly walk through the rest of the house, despite what he saw on the outside the house was larger on the inside.

" So what will this treasure be i wonder" Krsi whispered to himself. as he made his way. he soon made his way to a Large wall, he had walked to a dead end. Just great kris told himself as he looked at the wall. He could go the way he came from but the house may change thing around on him.

But some thing caught his eye he could see a line in the wall. as he ran his hand down the wall he came to a type of lock that was covered in dust almost impossible to see if one wasn;t looking for it.

" Now that is intresting" Kris said to himself as he looked at it. as his hand touched the lock the door slowly opened up. Kris looked into the room all over the room was many differnt types of treasures of old.

" wow" Kris repleid as he looked at all of the things in the room, there were gold coins, cups, goblets, crowns and many other treasures.

Kris soon came to a stop when he saw a Skeletal figure holding a black staff with a red jewel. With his right hand he reached for it as he touched the staff the skeltons hand lached onto his.

" who dare disturbe my sleep" it asked Kris as he looked at him

" My name is Kaltar the grand illusionist who are you" he asked him

" My name is Kris Darkling" Kris told him he was unsure of what else to say to himbesides his name.

" I see a Son of Darkling are you a relative of the arch sage Adonte Darkling" He asked Kris.

" Yes he is a ancestor of mine" Kris replied

" Like him do you seek power" Kaltar asked him

" I seek to become stronger" Kris told

" Becoming stronger and seeking power is the same thing young Kris " Kaltar said as he let go of Kris's hand, " This staff has been enbeded with part of my power, the weak willed person wil become corrupted by the power."

" Are you a strong person" He asked him as he let go of the staff, as it let go of the staff the Seleton fell silent never to say a word again.

" I'm not sure if i'm strong enough but one way to find out" Kris added as he looked at it. Kris could feel the power flow into him it was intoixcating. He could feel himself wanting to try out the power.

Kris could feel himself lossing himself tothe power but was able to control himself. As he straightened himself he looked up he could see he was near the front door. Kris slowly pushed the door open and saw both Vann and lorn already with their items and showing it to the teacher.

Kris gave one last look at the staff he woudl have like to keep it, it was intresting to meet or hear that someone talk about a ancestor of his.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Arshe had yet to see anything intresting or somthing that would be considered to be a treasure.
" what would be considered a treasure" Arshe said to herself as she walked down a hallway that was littered with doors. was she sposed to go through all of the doors to find the treasure.

Arshe soon stopped at a door and psuhed it open , inside the room it wa sdiffertn the floors were made of stone as well as the walls. As Arshe backed away from the door she felt herself pulled into the room by a unseen force. she could feel hands on her arms.

" let go of me" Arshe shouted as she swung at a unseen force. but the sound of a metal bars slaming down caught her attention. as she looked towards the door she saw that metal spieks had pierced the area she was standing in.

who ever it was saved her life

So a female figure in a white dress apeared before her, the figure looked like she had tears in her eye.

" Thank you for saving me" Arshe told the figure,

But the figure didn't answer her it just looked at her with sadness in her eyes

" who are you" Arshe asked her as she stood up,

All the figure did was point to a wall and walked over to it, soon a hide passage way opened up and the figure walked into the passage way.

Arshe soon followed after her, the tunnel was dark with hardly little light except the light that came from the ghiostly figure.

Arshe begun to wonder if the others had found a treasure she quickly asked where the figure was takening her. yet again she didn't get a response

Her mind begun to wander as if what was going to happen to her since the figure didn't answer any of her questions.

At the end of the tunnel she could see a light as the figure lead her into the next room she saw that it was in the front part of the house.

Arshe wathced as the figure opened the door, outsde she could see both Vann. Lorn and Kris already outside. She could see that they had their own treausres but she had yet to have one of her own.

Arshe slowly looked back at the figure, in her hands she saw a feather a golden feather.

" This is for you, it may not be a worth any but it is still a treasure" the figure replied as she handed it to Arshe.

Arshe took the feather and thanked to girl,

Arshe soon took a spot behimnd Kris and waited for him to hand the teacher a staff he had in his hand.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucius quickly made his way back to the entrance of the house he flung the door open and walked outside. with both boxes in his hands he quickly made his way toward the other students
