Mystic Towers

Meg had just gotten back from a case. She shut her room door and walked over to the bed, throwing her bag on the floor by the closet. Meg pulled off her leather, skin tight form fitting jacket and hung it on the bed post at the head of her bed, ready if she needed to grab it in a hurry. She sat at the desk across from the door and turned on the desk lap on. She turned on her lap top and while it booted up, Meg stood and started to stretch out her tired muscles. While she was checking herself for wounds she might have missed during her last fight, she heard a knock at the door. “Come in,” she said, standing straight and focusing her mind in case it was unwelcome visitors. The door opened and there stood a tall cloaked figure. “Hello there, Megara, I see everything went well on your latest case,” he said, walking inside and shutting the door behind him. Meg beckoned him to the chair at the desk and sat on the bed, watching him with confused eyes. The man sat down and pulled down his hood. The man had long white hair, and a thin beard growing from his chin. His hair was tied in a pony tail on the back of his head. He had a handsome face touched with age. His eyes were bright blue, sparkling in the lap light. Meg gave him a questioning look. “Not to sound like I am not happy to see you, but what are you doing here, Headmaster?” The Headmaster looked at her with wise eyes, a grin on his face. “My dear, you could never sound unhappy. I have come to remind you of my job offer at the school. I am hoping you have had had enough time to think about it,” Meg stood and walked over to the window and looked out. “Headmaster, I have thought of your job offer, and I just don’t think I’m what you need. You need a teacher, not me.” He sighed, looking at her. ". I need you to come to the school and be one of the new Guardians. The war is coming, Megara, and we need to be ready.” The Headmaster stood, looking at her with fire in his eyes. Meg sighed, walking over toward him and said, “Well, I guess I really have no choice. Besides, it’s what my fallen friends in arms would have wanted me to do.” He stood and smiled. "Oh, and by the way, I have found you a partner for the Guardianship, so it will just be the two of you. Good night my dear, and good luck.” And with that, he was gone, the door shut behind him. Meg sat back down on the bed, rubbing her eyes. "I guess its time...to go home..."

Cross set his bag on his new bed. He was the new instructor for the school. He sighed and walked to his window, opening it. He saw students walking back to their dorms and talking about the newest thing or untrue rumors that someone had spread about. He decided to walk about the school. Cross saw some students and waved to them as they waved back. He had seen most of the school before hand and knew he was around. So, he took a short cut and walked through the shadows about him. He made sure no one had seen him while he walked through the shadows because what fun it would be to see his students faces when he told him that he was a demon. He found himself wondering about the girls dormitory. He quickly hid himself in the shadows and heard their conversation. "Did you hear that we're going to be trainer by 2 very skilled people? I heard one of them was Megara who fought in the Dark Wars!!" said a girl. "Yea! But the other instructor is completely a mystery. No one know when and where this guy came from. But I heard he's really good looking!" said another. Cross heard enough of their ranting, so he left them and returned to his room. He sat on his bed, "So my partner fought in the Dark War? Interesting." he said, before he drifted into sleep.

A flash appeared at the main gates and Megara appeared, sighing. "Here we go again..." She opened the gates and walked inside. She past the stone walls and old buildings, heading to where she knew she would be staying. The Headmaster was watining. "any problems?" She shook her head. "No, but I hadn't slept in days..." She walked up to him, his eyes worried. "More nightmares?" "Something like that...so whose my partner?" "He is meeting us in the court yard, come'' He lead her out to the flower court yard

Cross was found looking at the flowers. He knew he could only look and never touch, for if he did, he might make the flowers beauty wither. He sighed and saw the Headmaster walk into the courtyard along with a woman of whom Cross was no familiar with. He stood up and walked over to them, "Hello Headmaster. Thank you for the offer. I will do the job properly though I might go into your office a small number of times." he said.

[MegaraFoxfire]

He laughed. "I know...but I can live with that...Cross, this is Megara Foxfire. you two will be partners protecting the school" She bowed her head

[XCrossX]

Cross bowed as well and stuck out his hand, "My name is Cross Allen. Pleased to meet you Megara." he said.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She took his hand and shook it. "Pleasure" The headmaster looked at her, worried. She had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked pale. He looked at Cross, then back at her, hinting at it. 'Well, you two need to get to know each other. I have paper work to get to" He left and she pulled her bag up on her shoulder. "So, any idea where my room it?"

[XCrossX]

Cross shook his head, "Afraid not. Let me take your bag for you. You look like you haven't slept a wink." he said, taking her bag.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She rubbed her eyes. "Two weeks...It must be my old room...West tower then..."

[XCrossX]

Cross nodded, "I see. Want to take a short cut, Ms. Foxfire?" he asked. He hoped that the Headmaster hadn't told Megara of his species.
