Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents (IC)

[Fairy Tale Dreamer]

Axel slowly sat up as he reached out with an arm and pulled Ashley in close to him, despite her being a panther at the moment. "He... He knows me... I couldn't see anything, kept me blinded somehow but he tormented me with little secrets here and there only I knew... why..... why is he interested in me..." He didn't even know who or what did it to him but already he seemed like a mere child because of the whole experience. He tried his best to stand up, but despite not being in mortal danger anymore, he still felt very stiff and sore all over as he gave a wince of pain.

Ashely felt bad for him and purred a little hoping that it will calm him down and started nudging him to get on her back so she could let him ride her. Once she got him on her back she started walking out of the forest and back to Caldwell's. "Just relax and leave it to me to get us home unfortunately we were left being after Rosewood fainted but I should get us home with no problem Right Midnight." Ashely thought as Midnight meowed at her and snuggled up to Axel and purred for she saw him as a friend. Ashely smiled and kept a steady pace until she made it back to Caldwells and carried him all the way to his room and gently placing him on the bed and Midnight jumped off. Ashely was completely happy and relaxed enough to shift back into human form along with her clothes on still. "Wow that was interesting didn't know I could even shape shift." she said as Midnight jumped back on her shoulder. "Need me to get you anything Axel?"

Axel however just reached out and gently held Ashley again, pulling her down just so he could hold her tight. "Well... I do want to speak to Rosewoode... but in the meantime I just want to hold you." He wasn't really sure it would work, but he sent out a telepathic call for Rosewoode. "Rosewoode? When you're not busy... would you mind if I could see you soon so we could talk about what happened?"

Caldwell's

Rosewoode woke up to find herself in bed. She only hoped that all of the students were fine by now. She rose, showered and dressed. She needed to start exercising more and do a bit more personal training. Including combat training. She would start an exercise routine for the students and also decided to see if Henry would teach a combat class on personal defense for her students. She had not given that much thought but now she felt it should be included in the curriculum.

Rosewoode sat down at her desk and composed a letter to Henry.

Henry,

I wish to thank you for your timely help with the one I am calling Chaos. I still am unsure who or what he is but I am going to start to take a defensive approach. He seems to want to do something to us. Perhaps it is because I have been very lax in my own self defense but again I am a pacifist. However I have decided that I need to have my students learn some personal protection skills. Would you be willing to teach a person defense class for Caldwell's Students? In return I will set up accounts for your students. Please respond as soon as possible.

Gratefully yours,
Lady Rosewoode.

She then penned another letter to Areliel.

Areliel,

Just a quick note to say thank you for your help yesterday. I am sure that Alex will do fine under your tutelage. She seems more responsive to your techniques than mine. I have decided as a way to thank you, I will set up accounts for your students so that they may shop at The Village Stores. I will let you know more when I get the details worked out.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,

Lady Rosewoode

Rosewoode place the two letters on two owls and sent them off to Areliel and Henry. She then went to meditation class. She would have Hannah take give her Tree lecture this morning.

Denea's
Lawrance woke slowly, making sure everything was working before he got out of bed. he went to the closet and began picking out a new outfit. the old robes weren't going to be functional anymore so he found a white tunic with feathers on the shoulder, white pants, and a brown belt. then he walked out of the room and decided to check on Rosewoode, knocking on her door. "Rosewoode?" he said, "are you feeling alright?"

[Rumiko]

Elvira practicly danced as she enjoyed another suprisingly pleasent day while she went exploring the deep woods that surrounded her new home. She missed her old familuar woods but it was also nice to be on new ground uncertin of what lay aroud the next bend in the trail.
Sing merry meet, merry meet in good measure; come on along an join in our dance She sang in a sweet voice.
Turning a coner she ceased singing as a sight which took her breath away met her, twO huge Whiite oaks whose trunks leaned together till they seemed to form an arch that lead on the other side to a narrow lane that was dappled emereld green.
I mus away now I can no loner tary; this mornig's tempest I have to cross, I must be guided without a stumble into the arms I love the most she sings as she skips down the path her voice dispelling the quite with her own joy
To Elvira the woods are no frightening place but a thing of joy and wonderand even when they take on a strange. Cast rather than fear she grows excited knowing that in such places are found delights few see or wittness
Suddenly the path bursts out into a grand medow with grass so soft looking she feels compeled to fall as if faint and land on the velvety carpet

[Nocturnia]

Denea's

Hana finished her painting in the room . The once half-white canvas now contained a vivid depiction of the forest. However now that she was done she had nothing to do.
So she headed out. After some wandering she ran into the man who identified himself as the headmaster. Something seemed odd but she didn't say anything , she just stood there, silently.

[Nocturnia]

Hana slowly retraced her steps to the meadow , right of the entrance she notices someone lying down. She leans on the gateway and silently wonders.
Another student?

[chukklehed]

Denea's
sensing someone arriving at his school, he apologizes to Rosewoode and takes himself there, seeing the girl laying on the grass, he smiles and says "welcome, child. i assume you find the grass comfortable?" it seemed she hadn't realized she wasn't home anymore, so he continued "you are welcome to lie there as long as you like, but i'm sure when you realize where you are you will find more enjoyable things to do. welcome to Denea's School of Healing Arts... no i suppose that won't do anymore." he thought for a second and corrected himself, "welcome to Denea's Academy of Earth Magic. i am the headmaster, Lawrance Denea. i'm sure you have many questions, so ask away. that goes for you too, Hana. i suspect there will be another arrival soon, so we have time."

Allison: Caldwell's
Allison was back in her room worrying over if Axel is okay. As well as mildly freaking out over the fact that she can apparently shape shift. Deciding she needed to do something to get her mind off it, she went over to the crystal ball on her desk. She put her hands on the base and thought of her mother. Before long, she can see her sitting in her bedroom with her older sister, Jennifer. ”Mom?

Her mother about fell out of the bed. Yeah, Allison should’ve just stayed quiet so her mother didn’t even see her. “Allison? Where are you?”

”It’s a long story mom, but I’m okay.”
Her mother stood up and said, “Listen here young lady. I know you spend a lot of your time at the library but that doesn’t mean you go and pretend you’re apart of any story you read. Now you tell me where you are right now.”

Allison sighed as she knew this would happen. ”Like I said it’s a long story. I’m not making anything up either. And if I did tell you, you wouldn’t believe me anyway. I just wanted to let you know I was okay…” Blaze, by this point had jumped up on the desk to investigate the talking crystal ball. ”And this is my cat Blaze. I have to go now though. Stuff to do.”

After talking to her mother, she fed Blaze and got out the Air Techniques book which she got from the school’s library and started reading.

Tameka: Voidbound
Tameka spent some time practicing the incantation to dismiss her servant while Henry was away. She sort of wondered what he had to do. She figured it had to do with whatever danger he said was out there so she didn’t question him about it. When he came back, Tameka went to the combat magic class and waited for everyone else to arrive.

Areliel: Demonspawn
Areliel heard the explosion and looks to see Alex flying through a tree into a rock. She laughs a little. ”She actually laughed about that.” Walking over to her, Areliel picked her up and teleported back to the school. Siwiko obviously, followed. She went in Alex’s room and put her on her bed. Afterwards, she too went in her room to rest for awhile and woke up a few hours later to an owl showing up in her room. It came from Caldwell’s. Can’t she just leave me alone. I’ve no idea why she asked a demon for help in the first place even if she only wanted Alex’s help. And now this… Areliel took the letter and read it.

”I can’t believe she’s actually willing to do that. Not that I really need it. This school has it’s own stores.” That is to say, there is probably one student here who would be happy about this. She gave the owl a berry and sent it back to Caldwell’s before walking down the hall to Jynmi’s room. She knocked on his door.

When he opened it she said, ”I know you’ve been nervous around the demons here. I’ve heard as such from both the librarian and Beelz. It seems I may be able to take you to Caldwell’s Village to shop. I can’t do that until I have more information however. But you can ask Alex or Akira if they want to go shopping with you downstairs next time until I find out more.”

[Holeypaladin]

Henry played a little with the pistol before putting it away, for now. There would be time to figure it out later, for now it was time for combat magic class.

He nodded to Tameka as she arrived, as did an owl carrying a letter.

Taking the letter, he scanned it, and then chuckled. Rather than penning a response, he worked a simple spell in which he spoke words and they appeared on the paper.

"Rosewoode," he said,

"For the sake of your students, I will accept your offer. While pacifism works so long as everyone else is a pacifist, the moment a single monster enters the picture, it's simply the most stupid thing you can do. Therefore, I agree that your students should be able to defend themselves, even if you refuse to defend your own self."

He signed it "Sir Henry Miles" and sent it back on the same owl.

Turning to Tameka, he said, "Would you... like to go shopping, soon? From my understanding, girls love to shop."

He didn't actually realize that the way he had phrased it sounded more like an invitation than an offer.
