Day One: Initiation day

Freya along with the head students of the other dorms walked down the path with lead towards where the new students would be arriving, each dorm leader speaking of how their dorm would crush the others. Freya however seemed silent, seeming content to just enjoy the day rather than plan ahead on how she would lead her dorm to victory in the upcoming tournament. But there would be time for all of that latter, right now she was eager to meet the students who were asked to pick their dorm number prior to arrival to the academy. If you looked around at the campus of Sovereign you would be greeted with masses of students from the previous years all either sitting on the grass or standing in groups as they caught up from having been apart over the summer break. It was a pleasant sight to see, though a little depressing considering she wasn't able to do the same, having to instead greet the new students to her dorm.

As she arrived as the bottom of the campus, the heads of each dorm met with Arthanix, the on site warden for the academies travel depot. It was he who arranged the travel circumstances for academy trips such as the tournament travel arrangements for when the teams traveled to other academies or for the arrivals of the coaches which carried students in from their homes far away. Darius, a large muscular boy who lead dorm three announced their arrival, his voice a low rumble, "Good to see you Arthanix" he said politely, earning the attention of the much older man, "Ahh Darius, and the rest of you, your new arrivals should be here any minute now" he said as he looked down at his pocket watch. Freya took in a deep breath before she exhaled, it was almost time to get the day started.

Ilena Mullain was anxious to get her career at Sovereign started. Her family was definitely old money (or would be, if any of the old money was still left), but she wanted to forge a name for herself. Who knew, maybe she'd turn out to be better than she thought?

The air was surprisingly chilly, so she conjured a small flame in her right hand. Hopefully, this wouldn't be against the rules, but if it was, she could always claim ignorance. There were certain advantages to being a new student, after all.

A large coach drew up to the depot where the head students were gathered. This was full of new students to the academy. A short man, obviously Semitic in origin, with his long hair in a ponytail and wearing a gilet and stole, stepped out of the vehicle.

"Is this Sovereign?" He said with a just-too-loud genial voice. It was not a question, and he extended his hand to Freyja. "The head student of dorm six, I presume."

Leaning back with his head up against the back of the carriage, Thorn thoughtlessly watched as the scenery swept past as they moved along toward the Academy. He hadn't been to sure of how he would fit in, or who he would he be meeting, but to him that was another part of the cycle. He kept thinking along the cycle till he noticed the carriage slowing down, leaning toward the window he gaze at the surrounding's, the huge building, which he was hoping was the school, took up his entire sigh. It was massive, and the seize of it just excited him to no end. He was still busy looking at the academy when he started hearing voices from outside. Grabbing his staff, and the rest of his worldly possessions, he climbed out of the carriage. Nodding his head to the Driver in thanks, he stood leaning up against it as he spoke to the gathering of people on the platform.

"Good evening, i shall be in your care from now on it seems, Name's Thorn"
