"[color=0054a6]Another year has come and gone. Funny, sure doesn't feel like it's been a year, does it coal?[/color]", "[color=f26522]It doess not. Though I can't ssay i'm fond of the concrete dwellingss that we are forced to sstay in over the year. Why can't we jusst sstay in the foresst or the greenhousse?[/color]". Jacque let out a soft chuckle as he climbed up a tree that hung over one of the academy walls, "[color=0054a6]C'mon Coal, i'm just glad they allow us to walk out here if we get up early. No need to risk making people angry when we've got a good think going.[/color]. There was a rustling under Jacque's cloak as a large, dark triangular head poked out from his collar, "[color=f26522]I sstill think that it iss not fair to deny uss a night under the sstarss...[/color]". Jacque snorted at Coal's and scratched the python under her chin, an act that ellicited a small hiss of annoyance despite her nuzzling into the scratch. Jacque looked around briefly, and spotting no teachers or prefects roaming the area, hopped out of the tree and over the academy walls, "[color=0054a6]Terra Magicae: Terra reformationem![/color]" he muttered just before hitting the ground. In an instant the patch of hard ground that Jacque was about to hit was turned into a soft pile of dirt. "[color=0054a6]Umph![/color]" Jacque grunted as he landed on his feet and stood, "[color=0054a6]I think i'm gettin' better at my spell timing, what do you think Coal?[/color]", "[color=f26522]I think you have a bunch of twigss in your hair.[/color]". Looking up at the wild black tangle atop his head, Jacque found that Coal was indeed speaking the truth, prompting him to gingerly tug the twigs out, "[color=0054a6]Thanks for that. 'Least I kept my uniform clean this time![/color]" Jacque chirped as he began to walk towards the main building. Coal flickered her tongue and hissed into his ear, "[color=f26522]Aren't you forgetting ssomething?[/color]", "[color=0054a6]Huh? oh yeah,right. Terra Magicae: Terra reformationem![/color]" Jacque said before turning and pointing towards the pile of dirt he'd landed on. Within seconds, the soft soil was returned once more to it's solid state, and Jacque was on his way towards the main building with a soft grin on his face.
