Andromeda:

I had already arrived at the Academy that had always been owned by my family, I always had been here as I lived already my whole life in the family's house, at the other side of the grounds where students weren't allowed to come. I walked trough the snow, Aslan holding in my arms. ''When will the newbies arrive An?'' he asked. ''Soon, the first one did already, remember Aslan?'' I asked my red with white kitten. ''Yes I know, the one with the lizard'' he said. ''No silly, that was a dragon'' I said with a giggle. I looked at the frozen pond in the garden and smiled, snow was slowly falling down from the sky. My dark red winter jacket with grey fur on the hood keeping me warm. ''I wanna go inside An..'' Aslan said. ''I know Aslan, but I want to walk a little more in the snow'' I said. ''You are stubborn, I don't like that.. Why did I pick you again?'' the kitten asked. ''Because you like how I give you way to many treats and hug you all day long'' I said with a smile. Aslan's only response was climbing on my shoulder where he took off my hood and took place in that for most off his body, just holding on to my shoulder as he always did. ''I love you too Aslan'' I said with a smile and slowly walked back to my room.

Ruby:

I had just arrived and was unpacking my stuff in my new room. ''You know Ruby, I think your uncle made a good choice'' Moon, my snow dragon, said. ''I know you think that.. But I don't know if I ever will find friends here... I mean.. you know how I am with people... Before I know it, I froze their feet to the ground or their drinks or something....'' I said. ''Don't be so insecure.. There is no need for that'' Moon said to me and I smiled some. ''Okay... But never leave my side... You know how to read people.. I can't do that'' I then said. ''You have to learn to listen to your heart'' Moon said and then laid herself down on my bed. ''That is my bed you know'' I said and threw a pillow at her. She swiped with her tail and broke it. ''Moon!'' I said fake angry but smiling big. ''Moon isn't here at the moment, please leave a message after the snowball hit your face'' Moon said and fired of a snowball, hitting my face. She had learned that line from me, and I hated myself for learning her that.

Andromeda;

The first new students would be arriving soon as my schedule said and I was waiting for them at the gate, I would show them a little around and tell them about the academy. Or at least, answer their questions. Aslan was walking around in the snow, even though he was a magical cat, he did love to chase the snow flakes that fell from the tree. Right now it wasn't snowing but it was cold enough to see your breath. I took a little snow, made a ball of it and threw it toward's the tree branch, the snow that was laying on the tree fall down and Aslan got covered with it. I laughed at him and he made a snappy sound back. ''You're not nice An'' he said. ''Oh come here you little grumpy'' I said. Aslan got out of the pile of snow and ran to me, I picked him up and with him in the hood of my winter jacket again, I waited for the new students. Ruby I had showed the things she had asked about already and she was somewhere in the cafeteria, that was the last place I had seen her at least.

Danni was far away from the gate of the academy, in which she was one of the new arrivals. She had heard quite a bit about the academy, mainly good things. While she was a little excited to learn, Danni was more excited to socialize and meet new people. A cigarette hung loosely on her lips, as she approached the gate. It suddenly struck Danni that this could be seen as bad manners here at the academy. Quickly, Danni plucked the cigarette from her lips, and flicked it to the ground, giving it a good pat with the bottom of her shoe. Still a ways away from the gate, Danni trudged forward. As she got closer, she realized someone was at the gate, looking as if they were there to greet the new students. As Danni got closer, she looked up and down the girl, clearly very serious about her status as a student at the academy. Danni stopped just short of the gate, and stuffed both her hands in her pockets, changing her gaze from the gate, to the girl, "Hey, you're here for the new students, right?" Danni inquired, her tone lacking enthusiasm and instead putting on a visage of indifference

Andromeda looked up and smiled when she saw the new girl. ''I am..'' she started and thought for a second. ''Yes, you could say I am new.. Yet I am your guide for the upcoming moments. My name is Andromeda.. I am the great great great grand daughter of the man that once build this mansion and made it a house and academy for young Witches and Warlocks'' she said with a smile. ''I am Aslan, her teacher and source of her powers'' the kitten said with a very though look. Andromeda giggled, took Aslan out of her hood and let his 'fall' into the pile of snow. ''No, you are my pet and you should not be so stubborn or I might just stop using catnip'' she said. '' See!! She is a demonic witch'' Aslan said and walked to Danni. ''She is a very nice girl, and there is another girl... She has a lizard'' Aslan said. ''Dragon Aslan... A dragon'' Andromeda said and smiled. ''May I know your name, then I can help you find your room'' she said with a smile

"Allie, slow down!" Aislin hung on to Allie's sweater as if her life depended on it. Well, as fast as Allie was running, there was a pretty good chance of both of them crashing to the ground. Aislin was the little guy and did not want to be squashed to death. Allie let out a half pant/groan in response. "I can't! I don't want to be late! Are we? I don't know what time it is!" As they neared the gate, Aislin saw two figures standing at the front. "There's only one girl there. The other appears to already be going to this school." Allie patted her head. "You're the best, Aislin. I wish I could see as good as you." After slipping and sliding on the frosty ground for a few more terrifying seconds, Allie skidded to a stop in front of the two girls, flailing her arms and almost falling on her face. Thankfully, she managed to avoid a disaster. Aislin opened her eyes, glad that she got to live for another day. Now that Allie had recovered, she scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "I'm sorry for the scene I just made. I really didn't want to be late. I hope we aren't!" Her cheeks were a bit red from the cold and being flustered.

A tree sprouted from the ground and it opened up as if it had a door, just before a guy who seemed to be about 18 or 19 stepped out, surrounded by fairies, just before all the fairies giggled and flew away as the tree retracted into the ground. Apparently this guy was friendly with the forest spirits.

Andromeda and Aslan looked at the new girl and her pet that came slipping to a stop. She giggled and Aslan jumped out of Andromeda's arms to walk up to the new girl, and for him that was the girl's pet. ''It's okay, don't worry... The upcoming week or two it is more that you will learn about the school, arrive, find your place and get used to everybody'' Andromeda said with a smile. ''I am Andromeda, this Academy is from my family... You could say that I am kinda the dean or something.. Let's say it otherwise... You can always come to me if you need help with something'' she said and smiled. ''Oh and that little cat that is sniffing towards your little pet, he is Aslan.. My fire-cat'' she said with a smile.

Andromeda then saw a guy coming out of a tree, it was one of the weirdest things she had seen so far and with a family filled with witches and warlocks of all elements that was quite something. ''Wow.. That was nice'' she said and waved up to the new guy that was a few meters away from the gate. ''Come in, Come in!'' she said and picked up Aslan again. For a moment she turned back to the new girl that just had ran in and looked at her pet. ''You're a cute one'' she said and smiled. She had learned to never touch someone else his or her pet before the animal itself gave permission.

Ceveo walked inside the gates as a little fairy peeked out of his pocket. He glanced down at her. "Taal, it's safe to come out now." As the little fairy flew out of his pocket and sat on top his head, he walked over to the others that had already arrived. "Hello. My name is Ceveo, and this is Taal. It's a pleasure to meet you all." The little fairy waved cheerfully as Ceveo introduced her and himself.

Allie let out a relieved sigh, pushing up her glasses back on to her nose. She walked inside of the gate. "Thank you, Andromeda, I will. It's very nice to meet you guys too. My name is Allie and this is Aislin." She gently placed her on to the ground so she could mingle. Aislin went over to Andromeda, Danni, and Ceveo, rubbing against their legs in greeting. Not liking the cold ground, she hopped back up into Allie's arms.

Andromeda smiled at everyone and looked at the little fox of Allie and looked at Aslan that was studying everybody. His interest mostly got to the little fairy, that was something he had never seen before. ''Is that really a fairy? Does she talk or is everything you hear from her talking a tingling sound like in those movies Andromeda loves to watch ?'' Aslan asked, he stood on Andromeda's shoulder with her feet and his paws where on her head, he intensely looked at the little fairy. ''She is so tiny...'' he said and looked at Andromeda. Most of the time Aslan was very wise but seeing new things he totally changed in the two year old cat he was and he was only focusing on that what was new. Andromeda always thought it was cute. ''Hey professor, quit the questions.. You will find out eventually'' she said.

''Welcome everybody.. Let's start with the tour if you would like so'' Andromeda said and started walking towards the door. She knew they followed her and she smiled. ''Our Academy was started by Lord Griffstone the first... This was my great great great great grandfather. He thought that with all the magic that was here in the world, he should give teenagers and young adults the chance to learn about their power.'' she said with a smile. ''You all know... That there is light magic and dark magic... My grandfather believed in a total balance between those and so he thought his children that one couldn't exist without the other... It is true but sounds very boring sometimes... Also.. Because he believed in this balance.. He had different teachers from all over the world... Their grandchildren are the teachers of today... Some are on the 'good side', some are on the 'bad side'... This is, to give us all a chance to develop our own believe and see what does fit us most... Total harmony, or Total Chaos'' Andromeda said. They had walked trough a hall, toward a huge stairs that was crafted from a very good looking dark wood, with all kind of signs in it, it were the signs of the element.

''upstairs we have the bedrooms... You all have your own bedroom with a bathroom... Boys left, Girls right'' Andromeda said. Even though she showed them around with a smile around her face, she really sounded serious. ''Don't be afraid to ask questions during or after the tour... I prefer after the tour though'' she said with a smile. She went to a hallway. ''Here we have the lockers, your element sign and your name are on the lockers... you're code is send to you by post if I was right'' she said. She walked further and showed them the cafeteria, then the gymnasium and the changing rooms. ''With the changing rooms are the same rules as with the bedrooms... Boys left, Girls right'' she said.

After she showed everything, including the classrooms and other necessary things she turned to them. ''now we are coming to the point I love to show you all... Next up is the Libarary, Garden and our pool'' she said with a smile and walked toward a big wooden door, again the signs of the elements where carved in the wood. ''My family loves art.. I'll first show you the Libarary'' she said and opened one door. They entered a huge room, bigger than the gymnasium and cafeteria together and they were pretty big. ''Here you can find almost every book you can imagine... We have a study room here with computers for your homework and there is a door that leads to the garden'' she said. She walked trough it, they could see she loved the libarary. ''And, this place is great for a game of Hide and Seek'' she said with a giggle. she showed them the door to the garden, opened it and walked trough the snow. ''This part of the garden is the silent part... also here you can study for yourself... The Library garden is mostly used for Nature and Water withes and warlocks'' she said.

After they exited the garden of the library and finished the part of the normal garden where you could lunch, lounge with friends or just sit and enjoy the weather, she walked trough the halls with a big grin. ''The pool is not that old yet, most of the owners would say that it is to modern to have but my father though it would be great to spend time with friends at the pool because it is a place where mostly young people hang out... Or so he says'' she said with a giggle and opened a door trough the changing rooms of the pool. ''Boys left, Girls right... For now you don't have to take of your shoes'' she said with a smile and walked towards the pool. She stood there and waited for the others to see the pool. She hoped they would love it just as she did.

''With this I am ending my tour... I hope you liked it, any questions you may ask now and if not.. Than enjoy this view for a moment. Your stuff is brought to your rooms, your names are on the door of your rooms and you will all find a key of your room within... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1'' she said, snapped her fingers and they all had the key of their rooms with a key chain on it with the number, their element sign and their name on it, in their right hand

Of course, at the end of the tour, Taal tried to jump in the pool. "Yay! A pool!" Ceveo grabbed her as she tried to dive in and put her on top his head. "What have I told you about trying to just jump around all over the place? You're going to get yourself hurt, Taalavaasini." She pouted as Ceveo looked at his room number then promptly went off to his room.

As the wind suddenly started to blow harder and the snow condensed appeared a pair of blue eyes. when the wind settled and the air was still appeared a young man with snow littered silver hair. he stared at the sign of the academy and then back at his companion. "It looks like we are late." Said the eyes. "It happens." said the man shrugging as they walked into the campus.

TT walked over the academy ground and saw a boy appearing from the wind. ''Hey, you must be new.. My neice probably just finished her first tour'' he said. ''but if you like, i can give you a tour and show you around. In that time i am sure we will find her so she can do the key trick where she snaps her fingers and your key appears in your right hand..'' he said. A little blue fox stood next to him in the snow, she looked at the white fox in front of her and did a few steps to the male. ''Hi'' she said with a little smile. ''I am star, are you guys from far away?'' she asked.

Ruby was walking around the academy and ended up in the cafeteria where she ordered some ice cream and a steak for Moon. Moon was sitting on her shoulder and looked around curiously. unlike Ruby, Moon loved to meet new people and their pets. But the pet did have a lot of knowledge and could read people without much trouble, Ruby couldn't. ''Ruby?'' she asked. ''Yes Moon?'' she asked. ''Are we going to swim soon?'' she asked. ''I don't know yet Moon.. Andromeda said that she would be showing other students around and the pool will be an incredibly loved place I guess'' she said. ''Ruby?'' Moon then asked. Ruby sighed softly and knew what would come now. ''I know Moon.. I need to start trusting people here...'' she said.

"That would be lovely." The young man said. "I am William Muncie." Will reached out to shake the man's hand. while looking down at his fuzzy companion "And this is Rox." He went on. Rox sniffed the air around the she fox and said "You can say that.....We go where the wind blows." Rox stuck up his snout like the proud animal he was until he was knocked over into the snow by Will's foot and a laugh. "Stop being dramatic. We are originally from Chicago, but have been on the move for a couple years." Will said addressing star. "So how about that tour." Will finished as Rox head popped out of the snow.with a mischievous fox grin,

Swirls of snow twirled around Harper's slender legs as she walked through the snow from the outskirts of the school. The community of warlocks and witches Harper resided in spent most of their time in the depths of the mountains. You would think she would have been used to this weather by now, but she truly hated the cold, and the displeasure on her face confirmed it. Her arms wrapped around herself as she trudged towards the gates, her chestnut eyes only glancing shortly at the man ahead of her.

He must have been late too.

That fact alone gave her some comfort. Sniffing, her nose stung red. Stupid snow!" she groaned, using her hand to make the powdered substance fly in a twister of white in front of her. She wasn't very powerful yet, only just recently reaching the age where the witches from her clan were sent to academy. Reaching the gate, she walked promptly in and headed towards the door without nervousness or hesitation. She didn't want to wait outside for anyone or anything. The blast of heat made Harper let out a soft puff of air in satisfaction. She brushed the snow off her blonde dreadlocks, and off what had clung to her body. Her head raised in curiosity, looking around and wondering what she had missed for being late.

TT had moved himself inside and sat on the stairs as he saw a girl walk in. He looked at her and heard that she didn't like the snow, he stood up and walked over. ''Hey, your new I guess ?'' he said and smiled some. Star, his fox, sat on his shoulder and she looked at the girl. ''Hello! Nice meeting you... You can warm up in your room, Andromeda will come here soon so you can get your key and be shown around if you like'' she said.

Right at that moment, a girl with red hair, wearing a jeans and a red long / wide sleeved shirt and a black boots came around the corner. ''Aahh, you must be new here.. Welcome to EMA'' she said and waved at the new girl. A cat ran toward the boy, girl and fox. ''Hey Star! How are you?'' he asked. ''Aslan! So good to see you again'' the fox said. Andromeda looked at her cat and her cousins fox. ''Weird... I wouldn't mind seeing you freezed down to the floor... But our pets seem to like each other'' she said and looked for a moment at her cousin. Then she turned around and looked at the new girl. She gave her a key. ''That is the key to your room, if you like to be shown around, I can give you a little tour and show you where everything is'' she said. ''Or I give it to her'' TT said. ''No Taylor, You are gonna do something else, far away from me'' Andromeda said and gave her cousin a almost deadly look.

"Hey, your new I guess ?" a male voice came from the stair case. Harper's attention turned toward him attentively, returning a soft smile, with a nod. She walked toward them only slightly, her hands still grasping around her arms holding herself. The fox that rested upon his shoulder began speaking, her voice light and friendly; " ''Hello! Nice meeting you... You can warm up in your room, Andromeda will come here soon so you can get your key and be shown around if you like'' she said.

Harper nodded. Her clan didn't have much animal as pets, a few mountain goats and the stray rabbit and such. Talking to them wasn't new to her but it in the setting she couldn't help but feel a tad bit silly.

Simultaneously a girl with vibrant red hair, came around the corner. "Aahh, you must be new here.. Welcome to EMA'' giving Harper a friendly wave. "Thanks." Harper replied, her soft voice steady and light. A cat jetted out and the two animals and people had a conversation with one another as Harper stood idle. She felt a little awkward, but only because she was so new to the place.

Eventually the girl handed Harper her room key. ''That is the key to your room, if you like to be shown around, I can give you a little tour and show you where everything is'' she said. Harper parted her lips to speak, "I'd-"

''Or I give it to her'' The boy interrupted, and the two began to slightly bicker between one another. Harper gave a small smirk, before speaking up above the two. "If it's not too much trouble, I'll find my room and then maybe a tour afterwards." she cooed, trying not to cause any more tension between the two. She wasn't sure if they were related or a very feisty couple at the time. Nodding to the two of them, she began walking up the staircase towards where she assumed the bedrooms were.

Andromeda and TT looked at Harper and TT then looked back at her. ''I do not know what you are thinking but just because your older by a year, you are not able to play the boss over me Andromeda'' he said. ''Boys left, Girls Right'' Andromeda said to help Harper find her way. ''Your name and element sign are on the door of your bedroom'' she then said, totally ignoring her cousin for a few more second. Then she turned back to him. ''Listen Cousin, that you think you can come here, say that you are a student and think you have all the privileges any other family member would have, you are wrong. We all know that your mother is from the dark side and that my uncle was so stupid to fall in love with her, it doesn't mean that I will tolerate you around my fathers academy'' she said. ''So just because my mom was a dark witch, I am a dark warlock?'' TT said. ''I knew you were weird Andromeda, but this does make my day. I finally understand why my cousin is hating me.. Because when Í was thinking, it was because I had made your room a mess and made your books float in water... What would be a great reason to hate me and what I would understand.. It all is just because my mother was from the Dark side and ýóú think, I am too'' TT said. Andromeda looked at him and sighed, seeing that this was bad. ''Listen.. I just don't like the way you are living... throwing away your ability's to help the world'' she said. ''I don't care anymore Andromeda... You wanted a enemy, you got yourself a enemy'' TT said and then walked off.

Ruby was walking trough the snow with Moon flying next to her. She looked around and enjoyed the cold a lot, it was her element. She took down her hood, showing off her snow white hair, and her pale face. A lot of people always had thought she was sick or a 'albino' but she had blue eyes and her hair wasn't just snow white, it also had something silver. She didn't know why her mother ever called her Ruby, a Ruby wasn't white at all. Maybe it had been because the stone looked quit good on her, she had one necklace that had belonged to her mother, with that stone. She didn't know and she didn't know if she would ever find out about it. ''Ruby.. You're okay?'' Moon asked. ''Oh.. Yes Moon, I am fine.. Thinking about mother'' she said. ''Oh, okay'' the white dragon said and smiled.

Allie was sitting criss-cross on the edge of the pool deck, staring at the reflection the water cast. It was much too cold to swim, but being around her element calmed her. Aislin was dozing in her lap. Her attention shifted to her room key. She smiled at the memory of it appearing in her hand. However Andromeda managed to do it, it was something she'd never forget. Her magic wasn't very strong, but she could still levitate and manipulate small amounts of liquid. She let this entertain her for a while, eventually losing her concentration as she started wondering if there were any new arrivals. She'd find out eventually, this being a popular spot on the tour and all.
