With his face still facing the floor, the Headmaster seemed stand up and the shadows seemed to follow each of his steps, the room seeming to engulf in a pitch blackness akin to nothingness. The headmaster conjured the darkness around him, into a spherical form, smooth and reflectionless. It looked endless, limitless and immeasurable as if one would never be able to grasp the very depth of it even if they tried for many years. [i][color=#2EFE9A]Is this the power of the Dark element?[/color][/i] Luke thought, impressed by its aura and energy. 

He seemed to hand the circular energy of darkness towards the new student, instructing him to keep until told otherwise and to practice and manipulate on it. Being absorbed by its dangerous allure, he caught himself staring, and only snapped out of it when he was called by the headmaster. It was an interesting spectacle to behold.

[color=0072bc]"Ah yes. Your Uncle Gregory, if memory serves. You must be feeling a tad homesick to bring him up so fervently. Your family had a great deal of unflattering things to say about him when I received your application forms..."[/color] 
[color=0072bc]"If it would better put you at ease, I will have him visit you here at the academy. Though the choice is up to you."[/color]

Luke conveyed a rare expression of surprise, it seemed that he unconsciously talks about his Uncle, Then a bittersweet but genuine smile etched across his face. It seemed that the Headmaster was actually nice under all the exterior, strict and firm but never unfair. However without a beat or single moment of hesitation, Luke piped up. [color=#2EFE9A]"I appreciate the offer headmaster but my Uncle is very busy with internal affairs within my family, and bringing him out here because of a selfish desire of mine is something I want to avoid."[/color] As these words left his mouth, a sense of elation warmed his heart.

[color=0072bc]"In the meantime, yes. By all means practice your craft at the pools. But I will have you remember one important thing, Master Thames. You are neither a waste of my time nor a failure. Growth cannot occur without overcoming your mistakes. When you get to the pools I want you to remember that. Also,"[/color]

[color=#2EFE9A]"Thank you Headmaster."[/color] Luke replied, his eyes directly inline with him, [color=#2EFE9A]"I shall take the advice to heart, and I shall take my leave now as I'm sure to have already wasted your time."[/color]

[color=0072bc]"I'd like you to accompany Luke to the pools as well. See if you can learn more about the Dark as you bask in the sun."[/color]

Luke nodded at the headmaster, and as soon as the door clicked behind him, he formally acquainted himself with the new student, [color=#2EFE9A]"I'm Luke Thames, just an average water Elementalist."[/color] he vocalized skittishly, a hint of nervousness present in his voice. His hand was outstretched, awaiting a handshake [color=#2EFE9A]"Surely you, a student whom I suspect arrived today, know where the pools are?'[/color] he continued in jest. After they had familiarized themselves, Luke would leave them to the pools.
