This would be Dru first year at the Godling school. He was looking forward to it. His father had told him how the school had come into being. He thought it was great that all the gods and goddesses agreed that it was best if the next generation all had the same education. It was weird though to think that all godlings and halflings were welcome. He had never met any other godlings. He was looking forward to new experiences. He just hoped the truce held.

An owl larger than a horse flew through the skies, coming to land a few feet from the entrance to the school. A fair haired girl jumped from the owl's back and surveyed the school. The giant owl then shrunk to a medium sized owl, who came to rest on the girl's shoulder. "Thanks for the ride, Shannon," the girl said as she pat the owl's head. The owl was silent.

Runa stepped forward to the doors of the school, not very excited for this. Her mother was ecstatic when the Norse god Runa called 'dad' had told Runa she would be attending this new institute. No matter her protests, Runa was shipped off to school to 'learn how to be a proper goddess'. Sometimes Runa hated her father. "Well,time to do this...." Runa whispered to herself.

Kamilah skipped towards the school, her currently bright red ears perked up as she peered around at the other students her excitement growing. Ever since she had found out about the school she became ecstatic, she had already fully accepted her lineage and the fact that she was going to basically be the goddess of cats. As most could tell, she was obsessed with cats. Kamilah peered around some more before squealing in excitement.

Nubia sighed as the sand settled around her after her father sent her to the surface from the realm of the dead. There wasn't even sand around where she was so she scowled at her father making a big entrance for her. Nubia didn't like that she was basically the daughter of death. She loved life and didn't like the idea of taking lives for a living in her future. She especially didn't enjoy living surrounded by dead people. Ever since she learned of her father when she was younger she has lived with him, constantly around the dead... rarely around the living. Nubia sighed once more brushing sand off her ancient Egyptian attire before walking towards the school.

Serilus was sitting on the branch a tree, his scarf hanging about a foot below him towards the ground. He wasn't necessarily happy about having to attend some dumb school for this. His dad was very insistent actually. "Why does the son of the trickster god have to do this? I bet my other siblings didn't..." It was then he remembered the odd nature of siblings and decided to silently walk into the school with his annoyed face half covered by his long scarf.

There are some odd places to sleep, especially for abnormal creatures, whether it be trees, flower beds, or coffins. But even for supernatural beings, on top of the archway that marked the entrance of Academy of Tommorow, more commonly called the godling school, was quite an unorthodox place to sleep. And yet that is where Allisa, the future goddess of intoxication, slumbered, drooling, an empty bottle in her hand, her entire arm dangling over the edge. Her snores were loud, probably disturbing any students passing under her. All of the sudden her snores were replaced with groans, and the brown haired girl sat up. She attempted to rub the side of her head, but felt a bottle against her skull rather than a hand. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the bottle had a label which read Peppermint Schnapps. The drunkard raised her eyebrow, unable to recall the events that took place only hours before, and her first thought of the morning popped into her head: What the hell happened last night that led to me to drink this crap? She once again let her arm dangle from the edge, dropping the bottle onto the walkway below. She summoned up thinner bottle, this one with the words Strawberry Vodka on the front, popping off the top and chugging down a sip. No other questions came to her mind, not why she was sleeping on the archway, nor why she was surprisingly well groomed and smelled strangely of a mix of lavender and mead. Allisa remembered one thing at least: she had a school to go to. It took a few moments for her to realize she was already there, but when she did, she dropped down from the arch, some of her vodka spilling out of the bottle and onto the pavement, and proceeded to groggily walk with the rest of the kids onto the campus.

"Good morning students. Welcome to the Godling Academy. We would like you all to gather in the auditorium. There we will give you the information to help you start your year with us. Maps should have been provided for you in the information packets you were sent but if you didn't receive one please go to the office. It is located at the front of the biggest building in the middle of campus. The meeting will start in ten minutes. Don't be late." Came out of the PA system.

As Runa approached the entrance, she noticed several other young gods and goddesses arrive. One of which she recognized distantly from on of the gatherings her father forced her to attend. "Shannon, who is that again?" Runa turned her head to ask her owl.

The owl stared at her for a moment, then spoke in a slightly haughty voice, "That is Serilus, son of Loki."

"Ah." Runa nodded her head in thanks. Just then an announcement came from the loud speakers, and Runa dug the map out of her satchel. Staring down at it, she found the auditorium and memorized the way there. Before she entered the school, he walked over to Serilus. "I guess I'm not the only one being forced by their Norse fathers to attend this place." Runa stuck out her hand for a shake, "I am Runa, daughter of Mani."

Serilus heard the announcement and began digging around in his pockets. Unfortunately for him, he never remembered bringing any kind of map to begin with. As soon as he was about to start cursing out nothing in particular, a somewhat familiar girl walked up to him and called herself Runa and was apparently the daughter of another Norse God. He stared at her for a moment and realized he had indeed seen her before.
"Oh, hello," he said in a slightly muffled voice as the scarf he had on usually covered part of his face. "It's kinda good to see another child of a Norse god got forced here as well. Makes it less awkward. Anyway, I'm Serilus son of Loki."

Runa nodded, "I know." She told Serilus, "Shannon told me. And yea, good old dad popped into the village where my mother and I live, and told me I was going here. I am not happy about it." Runa smiled and held out her map, "You need a map, right? Shannon can remember anything he sees or hears, so I won't need this map again." The owl in question ruffled his feathers and puffed out his chest in pride as Runa described his abilities.

Serilus laughed a little bit, "I know right? I didn't really come here of my own free will either." As soon as she offered him the map he smiled in thanks, even though it was mostly hidden. "Haha, thanks. I don't really know what happened to mine. My dad probably stole it or something as a joke." He began looking at some of the other students around them as a smirk spread across his face. "The only thing I'm interested in here is these other kids. So many opportunities to mess with people... it's gonna be so fun!" The part of his personality he inherited from his father began showing as he started snickering.....

Dru sighed. He wasn't looking forward to interacting with the others. He wasn't exactly a social person. Still it would be interesting to met gods and goddesses of other cultures. He had always been curious about other religions. He would enjoy learning about the others. He just wasn't sure if he could fit in. He took out his tablet and turned it on. He pulled up the map. He had taken a picture of it so he wouldn't have to worry about losing it.

Runa crossed her arms and frowned, also looking around at the other students. "I don't even get a long with the village kids where I come from, so this will be annoying."

"My young goddess should be more amicable, those in your village will one day be your followers." Shannon the owl chimed in where he rested on Runa's shoulder. She rolled her eyes at his words,then turned back to Serilus.

"Leave me out of your pranks and I'll give you cover stories when you need them." Runa offered a truce, not wanting to end up caught in Serilus' tricks. Runa may not have spent much time around the other Norse deities, but she had heard of Loki and was sure his son was similar in actions. "Anyway, keep the map or lose it, your choice. I'm going to head to the assembly now." Runa parted from Serilus with a friendly smile, and began to walk into the building, following the mental picture she had of the map.

Allisa was in the middle of the pathway, about halfway between the archway and the large building that was the school, when a voice crackled into existent throughout the school. The announcement startled Allisa, shaking most of the sleep and weariness from her movements and expression. She stood still, taking a sip of her vodka as she listened to the instructions, she took the bottle off her lips and gave a determined nod. "Oh yeah! The information packet!...Did I get that?" she asked no one in particular. It took a few moments for the memory of the information packet to come back into her head. "Da info packet! Totally forgot about that! That's the thing with the stuff, right?! Yeah, that's right...uh...it's right..." her words once again were for no one but herself. The girl's eyes darted around her, looking for a backpack and an old-timey suitcase, but found nothing. It seemed that during Allisa's forgotten journey, her and her luggage had gotten seperated, and knowing Ally's late night adventures, the bags could be literally anywhere. But hungover godling wasn't one to cry over spilled milk, so she followed the instructions and went to the office.

Upon entering, her eyes landed on the middle-aged man behind the front desk, stapling papers and writing things on sticky notes. Allisa took a few steps forward so she was right in front of the desk, and knocked on the wood. The man looked up, peering above pushed down glasses at the face of the student who had interrupted him, then at the beverage in her hand. "Ahem! I am here for...um...oh yes, one info packet please!" Her voice was surprisingly peppy despite the fact that she had lost all of her things except the clothes she was wearing. The man gave a small nod and reached to a pile of large yellow envelopes, grabbing one and handing it to Alissa. She nodded in gratitude, a bottle of fancy, expensive whine appearing in front of him. "That's to show my thanks." she said. "Miss, I don't dri-" before he was finished the girl was already outside.

She pulled the map out of the packet and began scanning it, looking for the auditorium. She then thought she smelled something odd. She looked down at herself, seeing her scuffed up white tennis shoes, her skinny jeans, and her white T-shirt with black text reading WILL WINE FOR WHINE. But none of that was what confused her. What confused her was the leather jacket she was wearing. It was slightly oversized, but smelled of colone. After a few moments, she came to the conclusion that she probably got it through the art of flirting, or the art of thievery. Either way she earned it, so she payed no more mind to it and continued on her way to the auditorium.

The map would lead them to the gym. The bleachers would be pulled out and there would be folding chairs in the middle of the room. Dru looked around but didn't see any adults. He frowned. Surely someone was going to meet them. He debated where to sit. Finally he decided to sit in the back. He made his way to the top of the bleachers. He watched the others come in. Once the flow of students slowed there was a flash of lightning as Zeus arrived. "Welcome to the Academy of Tomorrow. Here you will learn now to become the gods and goddess of the future. You are all equals here."

Runa found her way to the gym rather easily, and was one of the first to arrive. She found a place to sit, hoping she wouldn't have to deal with too many other students around her. As the room filled with more and more children of the gods, Runa became nervous. Not all gods and goddess were on good terms with the other, surely situations would arise here with their children.

Apparently, Zeus was making an appearance today. Runa wondered if he was the one who orchestrated the entire thing. She had once heard Zeus had the most children of all the gods and goddesses. She wasn't sure if that were true, but if it was maybe that is why he wanted a school for godlings.

His voice filled the room, "Welcome to the Academy of Tomorrow. Here you will learn now to become the gods and goddess of the future. You are all equals here." and Runa scoffed. She doubted everyone believed that. Runa's father wasn't a very famous god, and as such she knew many more 'famous' children would not be carrying the same sentiments as Zeus. Runa hoped, however, the words might get through to the students and make life more bearable for her.

Allisa wasn't the first person to arrive at the auditorium, but she wasn't the last either. She was somewhere in the middle. As soon as she stumbled into the large room, she began scanning the room for a spot to sit. There were many places where she could sit alone and drink without being bothered, but what was the fun in that. Ally was an overly social person, to the point of bothering people who didn't want to be bothered. And so her eyes wandered over the bleachers, before landing upon a very blonde girl. Her eyes then moved to the large feathered object upon the girl's shoulder. Allisa's whole face seemed to brighten, her love of cute fuzzy things bursting through. She took a sip of her vodka before making her way to the bleachers. It took her about a minute to scramble up the bleachers to the girl. When she did, she simply plopped down on the girl's left.

Allisa sat there silently for a few moments, biting her lip, then taking a sip of her drink, which was about two thirds empty at that point. Finally she decided to speak, but did not turn to look at her. "Does your little buddy drink?" she asked. She then preceded to summon a white bottle with a certain bird across the top into her hand. The label read White Owl Whiskey. "'Cause I think he'd like this stuff." she said, finally turning her head to look at the girl.

Runa was minding her own business when someone sat next to her. She turned, and immediately realized the girl was wasted. When she offered Shannon a drink, Runa went wide-eyed in shock. Shannon adjusted his stance and ruffled his feathers, turning to stare at the girl with his intimidating face, "I'd think not," Shannon spoke in his overly dignified voice, "I don't indulge in such demeaning behavior. I am a familiar to a great godling! Such elixir shall never pass my beak!" With one last huff, Shannon turned back to watch Zeus at the center of the gym.

Feeling slightly bad for the girl, as Runa had been on the reciving end of many lectures by her owl, Runa smiled apologetically at her fellow classmate. "I apologize, but Shannon can be a stick in the mud. He thanks you for your offering, though." Quickly Runa reached up and clasped her hand around Shannon's beak before he could open his mouth and rebuff her statement. "I am Runa, by the way, daughter of Mani." Even though Runa was not a people person, she believed in being friendly and was not going to ignore the girl.

The moment the owl began to talk, Allisa took a deep breath, her jaw hanging open in an open-mouthed smile and her eyes began to sparkle. The feathered animal's words didn't seem to reach her. "AWWWWWWWWW, it can talk! That's so adorable! None of the ones at Petco don't do that!" She exclaimed. She then reached across Runa's lap and set it in the empty spot next to her. "Okay little guy, I'll just put the bottle right here if you change your mind." She gave a small head nod before turning her attention back to the blonde. "It's fine!" She then immediately stuck her empty hand out for the other girl to shake. "I'm drunk. Oh, and my name is Alcohol Ally, Bacchus's kid!" She said, her smile showing her teeth.

Nubia had been tackled by Kamilah once the cat girl had noticed her arrival, much to the dismay of Nubia. Once Nubia had gotten the girl to release her she had grabbed Kamilah and dragged her all the way to the gym arriving shortly before Zeus spoke to all the students.

Upon entering the gym Kamilah had quickly parted from Nubia's side and sat in what she found was the warmest spot in the room which delighted the cat side of her. She was close to falling asleep for a cat-nap when she noticed a talking owl and her ears perked up. One of her downfalls was her lack of control over her animalistic instincts which is what lead to the next move she made. Kamilah crouched down and begin crawling down the bleachers on all fours low to the ground towards the owl, once she made it close enough she lowered herself to the ground before licking her lips and pouncing towards the owl, oblivious to the two girls beside it.

Runa smiled at Ally, and shook the girls hand. Shannon scoffed, resituating himself on Runa's shoulder. Suddenly, Shannon took to the air, claws out. Runa yelped as his claws dug in and she turned to see what had caused it only to find herself looking at another student. Shannon dove back down to attack the girl but Runa acted quickly and grabbed her familiar by one clawed foot, yanking him down to her lap. She then glared at the other girl, and hissed out, "What do you think you are doing?!"
