The portal spell felt weird to Phagora, like she was going to fall forever. When she saw the intricate teleportation glyph, she was suitably impressed. The time and attention to craft it...

She was snapped out of her reverie by the headmaster's arrival, and the conjuring of an entire train. "Okay, that's cool." She found herself a seat on the train, waiting to see who would join her.

Luna had given Viola a smirk as they left the room, peering one last time towards it. She happily greeted both Lee and Xinhua with a smile. And before she could even conjure another thought, Lee came to embrace the girl, the tone of her voice giving her away. Luna could not help but return the embrace along with a small giggle at the question, knowing perfectly well what Lee wanted to see.

“Starting early this year, are we, Lee?” Luna grinned at Lee, offering a smile towards Xinhua afterwards. Luna had grown rather fond of Lee’s joyful nature, seeing, as it always was uplifting. The girl seemed to find happiness in everything it appeared, an almost inhumane joy. Lee lived in the moment, and did not seem to ponder much on the future and past, much contracting to Luna. She herself was obsessed with it, both of the subjects. And not to forget the graceful nature of the magic Lee practiced. Hauntingly stunning, Luna had always thought, and yet, whenever Lee would ask to see, or even hear the result of one of Luna’s experiments, she had refused. The thought made Luna quickly wrinkle her nose in disapproval of herself. She had barely ever told Karen or Viola about any of it. The reason for it, Luna had trouble realizing herself. And to that she concluded;

“Perhaps after the ceremony.” Luna said towards Lee, fully realizing how much a ‘perhaps’ meant from her. Surely, there could not be too much harm in sharing a thing or two with Lee. Hopefully.

“And just as Viola said, I believe we all should get a move on, no? Be an awful bad first impression to be late on the first day.” Especially embarrassing for a Chronomancer. Gesturing the others along, Luna took the first steps down the hall, towards the general direction of the Communal Mess Hall. Though it was her sixth year, Luna never got tired of the opening ceremony. Such a cozy and grand event, she had always thought. Meeting new students, eating splendid food, and the excitement for the beginning of the year.

That thought having passed; awaiting lectures with Eleanor McKinly was a sensation of rather mixed feelings. Eleanor was incredibly talented and had immense knowledge on Chronomancy, but it wouldn’t be unusual for her to hand Luna towers of books for homework, always stating that ”Time shouldn’t be a problem for a chronomancer, don’t you agree?” But Luna admired her in every aspect. A few students passed the group, being in an awful rush towards the Communal Mess Hall. Luna looked over her shoulder towards the others, interrupting any small-talk they might’ve had.

“Anything you lot are looking forward to this year? Lectures, meals, newly arrived boys?” Luna snickered towards Viola at that last one, having found a small pleasure in teasing her with the subject the last few months. Still, the question might have been relevant to some of them. Luna adjusted her spiral braid, being rather thankful the poltergeists had listened to Viola and not ruined anything – Luna was so fussy when it came to her hair.

For the most part, Viola stuck close to Lee and Luna as they walked, only sparing Xinhua small smile. Might as well tolerate her presence for now, at least. She wanted to talk to Lee in a much more...intimate setting later, anyways. Making bad with her roommate would be a pretty bad idea and possible hinder her attempts to make nice with Lee herself...hmm...perhaps it'd be possible to make nice with Xinhua? Despite her not being impressed with her, she'd be a very useful 'friend' to have regardless.

“Anything you lot are looking forward to this year? Lectures, meals, newly arrived boys?”

Viola turned her head towards Luna, she was likely just teasing her. She wasn't particularly interested in such matters, plus, if she wanted a boyfriend she'd just ask a one Mr. Allen Strauss out. He was fairly talented, and quite...well, attractive as far as men went. That said, she was more inclined to...be interested in those of the same sex.

"Boys?" Viola pouted slightly, moving a few steps closer to Luna. Well, two could play at this game just a bit. "Luna." She looked up at the taller girl as they walked, pouting and puffing out her cheeks slightly. "Why would I want a boyfriend? I already have big sis Luna. I wouldn't fall for the silly tricks of boys~" This was all completely bullshit of course, she didn't care one way or another if Luna had a significant other. That just made them easier to play with, but she wasn't about to not just mess with her just a bit...of course, on the off chance she didn't get flustered by this, she always had more up her vast arsenal of rapier wit. "So...you better not leave me either~"

She had adjusted her body to be leaning into Luna's side, with her arms wrapped around her in a hug. With her back to the others, she gave Luna a small smirk, before looking up at her in a somewhat expectant manner.

A strange figure appeared with a rather loud, but harmless, shockwave of magic, just outside of the student dorms.

Slowly getting up, he shook his head and cleaned his clothes.

"Finally... Four months... I shouldnt have pulled that string..." he said, feeling a little dizzy, hungry, thirsty and exhausted.

This time he took four months to disentangle the magic strings that caused that mess... A powerful seal trapped him between dimensions for four months, four extremely boring and exhausting months.

Slowly, he walked inside the dorms, trying to conserve his strengths.

Getting inside, he went straight to his old room.

As he looked to the door, he stopped in his tracks.

"Oh no..." he said with his eyes wide open, an overly intricate knot appearing between his hands.

"Shit... this time Polyanna WILL kill me... An entire room, now is unreachable and sealed in some weird dimension..." he said, hopelessly looking to the sealed door. The entire room was sealed, and he wasnt able to bring it back. "All my researches and notes..."

Still trying to untangle the strings, without much success, he suddenly stopped, almost collapsing.

His head started to spin as he fell on the ground, almost unconscious.

He gathered the rest of his strength and walked to walk to the infirmary, walking to the exit, he passed in front of some other student.

"Some water... and food... please." he struggled to speak, putting away the cowl that covered his delicate face.

Just as he finished speaking, he fell on the ground, unconscious, threads of magic from the sealed door still swirling and coiling around him, slowly disappearing.

@TheHangedMan @Rune_Alchemist @Leoven@SlashInfinite + anyone in the dorms.

Leo nodded; seemed Charles was laconic, as well as nervous. That left it up to him to break the ice between them...assuming the small kid wanted the ice to be broken. Nevertheless, Leo, between mouthfuls of food, would then say:

"You don't know what to do with your powers, then?" There wasn't a time in which Leo couldn't remember not using Magic, so he didn't have any similar experience to Charles. Nevertheless, the eighteen-year old would at least attempt to sympathize.

Pausing his meal for a moment, Leo, with both his hands, crafted a small sculpture of condensed Mana, a small scuplture of the train that had brought Charles here. He would then hand it over to the nine-year old, saying:

"This train can be used either as a toy, or a source of reserve energy for when you need to cast spells but have drained your own strength. Here, I'll give this to you."

@TheHangedMan@olcharlieboi

@Letter Bee @TheHangedMan

Charles would look back at Leo and the toy magic train, without even batting an eye he would pull out a slightly bigger crystal and just tap it onto the train and it would absorb the energy, he would then reach into his bag and pull out some blank papers and concentrate on it, the papers would start to be manipulated and form into a small sized golem, he'd put the crystal against the golem, the crystal would phase into the golem then the golem's eyes would light up and it would start moving, he'd sit the golem down on the table and watch as it begun to walk around looking at it's surrounding, it would then look back at Charles then at Leo with what looked like curious eyes. All this time Charles hasn't eaten anything either for some reason, he'd just watch his golem with slight interest at how it was acting. He simply acted on instinct to make the simple golem, would be very easy to destroy since it was made out of paper, it would be much harder to make the more advance golems so a paper one was just one of the simplest.

The way Lee's eyes widened and her jaw dropped was almost comical. She blinked wildly at Luna, processing her words, before looking over to her roommate, as if for some reason Xinhua would be able to tell her if she was simply hallucinating words she desperately wanted to hear. Blinking back towards Luna, a smile that could only be compared to the brilliant twinkling of the stars in the night sky spread over her face. "You're serious?" She could already feel her magic's hold on some of the plantlife around the dorm, especially in her room, cause them to bloom into life. "You are! I can't wait!" She paused, thinking. "Do you think you could move time forward to after the ceremony?" It was a cheeky request, and something made obvious by her playful grin.

She skipped back towards Xinhua, petting Tao Cai and wrapping an arm around its master's shoulder. She grinned brightly at Viola who hadwalked with them, laughing at how Luna teased the younger girl. It was endearing how close those two were, and if she hadn't had her arm around her own roommate, she would have been a bit jealous.

Perhaps she should ask to speak with the girl later. Viola dealt with spirits. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume that she had some knowledge on deities too, even just theoretical. All Lee had to do was slip in that question into a conversation, using every bit of sly wit she could. A frown formed on her lips. She was anything but sly. It would certainly prove to be a difficult-

Thump.

A student, dressed in the oddest clothes Lee had ever seen before, passed out in front of their group. Wait. Odd clothes? Blonde hair? The most enchanting white holes in his hands? Lee released her hold on Xinhua and rushed to help the student sit. Sure enough, it was someone she had seen before, but never had the opportunity to speak with. Viktor.

"Are you alright?" Her charge wasn't able to answer, passed out as he was. He felt weak, and a rush of worry settled deep within Lee's chest. She asked for Xinhua's help to move them towards the window, where sunlight was slipping through. Once there, she placed a hand on his forehead, tucking away some errant strands of blonde hair away, and brought up the power of a spell she rarely used. Breathe. Magic rushed from her fingertips, fuelled by the sunlight behind her. It wasn't the healing magic of the nurses in the infirmary, but she hoped it would alleviate some of the stress on Viktor, at least until they could bring him to the infirmary.

She looked around at the students, not really trusting her own physical strength. "Some help, please. We need to bring him to the infirmary."

The feast at the Mess Hall was, needless to say, an exorbitantly grand one. Breakfast foods from all over the world were arranged in tables according to region. More than a thousand students were gathered, and yet the food had yet to be found lacking in quantity or quality - there was always something to choose from, and you could spend the whole day sampling the food arrayed for them and not even be halfway through.

The Headmaster himself was there, in his authoritative, large brown mantle cloak, with a serving tray in hand and lined in with the rest of the students over the service areas. He was talking with some of the newer students - who were rather reluctant to be so amicable with authority.

At this point, pretty much everyone had gathered into groups they were comfortable with. Some had finished eating already and went outside in order to explore the school, or otherwise had some other business to attend to - most of the newer students would likely pursue a bed.

Some others had broken into a fight somehow - as per usual - and the Enforcers stepped in to stop them. Polyanna, who was dining with the Headmaster, took delight in watching them settle matters through force, while the Headmaster preferred if they were settled through diplomacy. So naturally they began betting on every fight.

At some point the fairies and other spirits that roamed the University had intruded on the breakfast. Some of them began picking off servings of food for their own - fortunately not from any of the students.

All-in-all, a typical way to start the morning here at B.U.M.

Noah watched as the train left, the start of the ceremony began. Noah walked through the campus, eyes drilled holes into his head as many turned to face him, whispers grew loud, traitor, It was his Master, how could he NOT know...?, many all remained the same, and Noah had to shrug them off, what else could he do that wouldn't let him be in trouble. He could feel his blood begin to boil, he was angry, angry at his peers, angry at his former Master, but also... angry with himself. Noah stopped though, the wind lay still, sounds were gone, the world full of color faded to gray. He was falling through the ground, screaming with no voice, falling with no gravity.

"Finish what I started, destroy this school, kill the Archmage, seek out those bringing the destruction of this school!"

His Masters voice boomed in his head, looping, distorting, taking over Noah's head. He snapped back to reality with a thud, he dropped to one knee and clenched every bone in anger. For some reason, Noah was drawn to the train, he needed to know why. He raised his arms out to his front, he swung his hands wide, two rings on either hand ran along his forearms, slicing his arms open and spilling his blood. The blood didn't fall down, but instead started running up Noah's arm, shifting and changing until they formed crimson blood wings along his back. Noah kicked off the ground with force, and headed to the trains destination.




Britney was startled when the voice came from behind, she had recovered most of her magic. "In my defense..." She turned to the hole she made, raising her hand, she raised the ground also, fixing the terrain to normal. "I've trained here for years, this terrain has been pulverized for all those years but still remains a beautiful sight. So, if you must take me, I have but one request... She changed her stance to that of defense, "Fight me, you win, I come along quietly, you lose, I get off with a warning?" She grinned, staring the man in the eyes.

Finally reaching the station where the students would drop off in order to commune at the mess hall, practically everyone left the train in order to go grab breakfast and attend to the final part of the opening ceremony. Just as everyone did, Allen and his roommate got stepped out from the engineering marvel and headed towards the huge building where the early morning meal was taking place.

As usual, the sight of the building’s interior was a sight to behold. Able to house just about everybody on the campus, with so much food that you believe it could feed an entire army, yet the quality of said food was not lacking. There was just so many that one could not even manage to taste even half of what was offered before one’s stomach would be full. Truly this was the best way to start a student’s day.

While Alec could not wait to grab a bite, Allen was much more patient than his roommate and toured around the mess hall in order to meet new faces. Walking around, he was and had greeted many of his fellow students. At some point he even had reached the place where the Headmaster was eating and exchanged a friendly greeting with the utmost authority of the university.

There were just so many people, it was hard for Allen to just spot any newcomers. And yet, he managed to find some people he thought he didn’t recognize. He welcomed them whole-heartedly to the academy and offered his help to the new students whenever they felt like they would need to know something about the campus or for anything else on that matter.

Finally, after quite some time socializing with the others, Allen finally settled to have breakfast. By the time he started eating, a lot of the students had already left, having finished their meal, while some of the newer students were leaving with their escort to either tour the campus or get a room. Surprisingly, Alec was here, eating and talking with a few other students.

The Elemental Mage chuckled and went towards a half-empty table. For once, he’ll be able to enjoy a bit of peace while eating instead of constantly hearing his roommate chatter about everything and nothing of importance.

Phagora got off the train for the feast, looking in wonder at all the various students. She'd heard that there were many magicians scattered around the world, but to see them all in one place really made it hit home. She grabbed a plate of chow, turning to a boy who looked a deal older than her. "Mind sitting with me? I'm new here, could use someone to talk to."

@KiritoAsuna

Polyanna Saccharine.

Lee could feel herself breathe easier with the Head Enforcer's appearance. She was a cheerful person, and one who Lee always wanted to be around with. The uniqueness of her magic made things all the better. The broken deity watched as the lolly did what her magic could only hope to, and she wondered if she could one day mimic such skill. She made a mental note to work on the healing properties of her magic in the near future.

When it was their turn to receive a lollipop, Lee hurried to stand and eagerly grabbed hers. It always tasted different. Once, the treat Polyanna had given her tasted of the fresh strawberries Ophelia loved in her garden. They were treated with such care and affection that the fruit oozed with sweetness and delight. The treat had mimicked it perfectly, and a pang of want for the woman that was her home had struck Lee hard then. Now, as she leaned into Xinhua, the lollipop tasted vaguely like pine trees and sunlight flickering through the canopy. It tasted like power far greater than any Lee had ever experienced.

Polyanna's treats were made to taste exactly how its owner wanted it to. Lee paused, lollipop still in her mouth. What was that she tasted? What part of her had wanted that taste?

She mentally shook the thoughts away, and knelt down next to Viktor to check on him. He seemed okay, better now with Polyanna's magic, but she knew that when he woke, he'd be in a whole mess of trouble. She patted his head sadly, before standing up and grinning at the others. She released the lollipop with a loud pop and stuck her tongue out. "Hey, lemme have a lick," she said to Xinhua, playfully licking the girl's cheek. With a laugh, she turned to Viola and Luna, grinning brightly at them. "You too."

She paused, eyes wandering over to Karen. "Oh yeah. Karen. Totally forgot you were there." She grabbed Xinhua and shot the rather plain girl a vibrant smile, only with a slight hint of taunting. "Want a taste?"

@TheHangedMan @13org @Rune_Alchemist @SlashInfinite

Alexander nodded and shrugged his shoulders. "sure why not. I'm new here as well" he replied as he grabbed his own food and took a seat beside her. "oh howrude of me" he said holding out his hand. "the names Alexander, alexander B Alcaster to be exact. Pleased to meet you".

Alexander smiled intently holding out his hand for a shake. It excited him to finally meet someone for the first time ever. Maybe just maybe they could be friend. It the present moment this thought was all that mattered to him. His first contact and possible friend since the loss of everything.

Ashe thought about it he kept his hand out to the girl awaiting a responce@shagranoz

@TheHangedMan @Letter Bee

Charles would turn his attention away from the golem when he heard another voice, seeing Sergei he would "Yes I am Sergei" he would say nodding towards him. He would return his attention to the golem listening to Sergei speak and he would nod "Around school.. first.. " he would reply "..room later... first... want... to know more about.... this place and what... it's for.." he says to Sergei then turn to leo then back to Sergei "up.. to him.." he would reply for if leo wanted to follow or not. Charles would get up and pick up the golem putting it on his shoulder where it holds on and keeps looking around.

"Hello, Mr. Karakov," said Leo, while at the same time looking at Charles' unfinished meal, and, as the kid didn't actually want it, taking bites from it with his fork. Then, when Charles gave the albino Mage permission to accompany him, Leo would then smile, before saying:

"I was raised in this academy; I can help Sergei with the tour. As for this place, well, it's a Magical Academy where people are taught to use their supernatural talents in a responsible manner. Also, I can give you a lesson on the various roots of magical power, the Aeons, if you want; you seem to be using the Creation Aeon." Yes, Leo was rambling. Why was that? (Edited out)

"Anyway, yeah, I want to accompany you guys."

@Hippo AF
The Enforcer stared blankly at Britney, before cracking a grin. "Okay, I like you. It's only the first day of the term so why the hell not?" He paused. "Just, uh, not here. I'd really rather avoid breaking my own rules, yeah? Let's see, if you could wait a moment . . ."

Putting a hand in his pocket, he pulled out a tiny, golden sphere, and placed it against his ear gently. He began speaking out loud, as though he were talking through a phone.

"Ay, this is Donovan, can someone clear Area 8-1 for a Duel? Is it official?" He glanced at Britney, before scrunching his eyes in thought. "Yeah, yeah, make it official. I'll leave the witnesses up to you. And get Melody as the doctor on site. Alright. Yeah. Okay. Nice, thanks."

Nodding, the Enforcer pocketed the ball once again, and turned to Britney with s grin. "Alright, I got a nice little arena set up just for us. Remember, you lose, no complaints, you win, I let you off easy this time."

Not making any further delay, the man made way for the dueling grounds, taking the train on the way there. Multiple trains usually ran at the same time, so he didn't interfere with the opening ceremony. Once he arrived, he took off his uniform, leaving only the white tank-top he was wearing underneath. It wasn't evident from under his uniform, but he was heavily built.

Stretching, the man faced Britney with a cocksure grin.

"Names Donovan Pirovsky, before I forget to introduce myself. Ready when you are."

Britney grinned with excitement as she followed the Enforcer to the arena, following closely without any words transferred between the two. She took her spot at the opposite side of the Enforcer and stood ready for both offense and defense. Britney knew she was at a disadvantage on two fronts, for starters, he knew her power and she knew nothing of his, and secondly, he was clearly a Journeyman or a Master. "Well Donovan, my name is Britney Chambers, I'm sorry for making you're first day of the term a bit rough, and all before the big breakfast. But I have a goal. Someone I need to fight, and I can't afford losses. I'm ready, so let's go!"

Donovan nodded. He understood the sentiment - near everyone who was an Enforcer wanted to fight Descartes Olton, and the man himself wanted to fight Polyanna Saccharine. It was a desire that everyone seeking strength share, the desire to match someone far above them.

Donovan's dark eyes flashed silver suddenly, and the man assumed a fighting stance. Stepping forward quickly, he seized the initiative and threw a quick punch aimed towards Britney's head.

Britney was almost thrown off by how quick he moved, his eyes were of silver, could this be his magic, his power, is this what she needed to be wary of?
Britney kept her cool and ducked, she swiped at his feet with a sweeping kick followed by a quick uppercut. It's true she focused her time training her magic, but that's only because her hand to hand skills were already pristine.

Donovan just grinned and dug his feet in, taking the weep and stopping it short. As for the uppercut, he dealt with it in the same manner, smashing his forehead downwards and into Britney's fist, intent on breaking her knuckles with his skull. There was a reason boxer wore gloves after all - and it wasn't just for the other guys safety. Human bones were sturdier than what most people gave it credit for.

Britney jumped back twice, creating a big gap between the two. Her leg was sore, maybe slightly bruised. But her hand, she dislocated her knuckle, she slightly winced as she popped it back. She stretched each fingers. "You can tell a lot about a person in a fight. And the vibe I'm getting from you is sturdiness, brute force." She lowered her hand and muttered a spell under her breath, she lowered the gravity of her body. She dashed forward at blinding speed, appearing behind the man, and as he went to turn, she dashed again, reappearing from his side now, throwing one quick punch to his neck. Surely this will hit...

Silently, Donovan stretched his arm forward, then drew it back, thrusting his elbow at his side, directly at Britney. The elbow wasn't even close to touching her, and yet, a sudden explosion of force erupted over her solar plexus. Unless she would withstand the blow, she would be reeling hard. In the meant time, Donovan used the force of his own attack to dampen her own, so while punch landed, it didn't do the damage it should have.

Britney was quick, she pushed gravity into the front of her stomach, the explosion that hit her stomach was severely weakened, as for her punch, not even close to being effective. She reeled off for a bit. She was slightly out of breath, to move so quick with no results, it was frustrating, "This is the power of an Enforcer. Let me ask you, are you a Journeyman, Donvan?"

Donovan straightened up, and smirked. "Aye, though I'll have you know I'm pretty-run-of-the-mill if we're talking Enforcers. You could find a dozens like me, and a dozen more who're stronger than me. In any case, you're pretty quick, but you don't have much power. If that's the case, I can see how this fights gonna go, yeah?"

Assuming a fighting stance once more, he stayed on guard, awaiting her next move.

Donovan was right. Britney couldn't win, but unfortunately, she also couldn't lose. Britney's stance loosened, she stood up straight with her eyes close, her breathing slow but steady. "So it's power you wanna see...? She said, the air in the arena starting to become dense, pushing down with force. The floor they stood on started to feel the immense pressure, cracking and shifting.

Donovan remained still, silently observing her. But from the way his body was relaxed, the way he was looking at her triumphantly, it was telling her as though "no matter how powerful, I'll still win." Frankly, the moment the denser the air became, the more assure he looked.

Britney had one last card to play, she knew she was to lose, but if she could at least move him, she'll call this a slight win. With the power growing heavy, the walls and roof started to shift under pressure, the air around was at boiling point. The only remaining uncracked ground was under Britney. Her eyes shot open, Gravity Magic: Intense Push! A bubble around Britney shot away from her, the ground was devastated and was picked up into the air, the walls were smashed with a volley of air, and it was headed straight for Donovan, Please, just knock him down or something... I have nothing left...

"Heh."

As the bubble of destructive energy launched towards Donovan, it suddenly grew in power and expanded, beyond what Britney herself was able to do. Just as the wave of destructing reached Donovan however, the man jabbed a single finger into it, and like a plastic bag being sucked into an air vent, it imploded, shrinking into itself like until it eventually disappeared, leaving no trace that it had ever existed.

"I'll give you this. It was impressive attack, but sadly, dealing with impressive attacks is my specialty." Donovan stood, rolling his shoulders idly. "Won't tell you why, but I will say my magic is good at that."

Crossing his arms, he stared at Britney speculatively.

"Earlier, you said sturdiness and brute force is my specialty. You only got it half-right. I'm sturdy, but more than brute force, I'm precise. I know how, when and where to hit you." Despite the initial reason they came here, he began sounding as though he were giving her pointers, completely forgetting their agreement before the fight. "And in a fight, it's not just physical skill. You should've known, I couldn't keep up with you in speed. Eventually, you would have gotten a good strike in, if you kept maneuvering around me. Couldn't let you do that of course, so I goaded you into a contest of strength, which was my playing field. You lost the minute you gave up your advantage and yielded to mine."

Britney fell to her knees, that last minute of power destroyed her stamina. Her head sagged low, like she was about to cry, until a soft chuckle escaped her. "Donovan. You are one hell of a mage. Thanks for the pointers, I'll keep them in mind. She slowly rose to her feet and just as slowly walked over to him. "You should teach, you could do a lot of good." She looked him in the eyes, "Deals a deal. Quietly, I'll come with you. But... She grinned, her face of determination, "Their is someone I need to beat, but before them, I need to beat you."

Donovan blinked, before laughing heartily. "Haha! Actually, I completely forgot about the deal . . . Ah what the hell, the Disciplinary Office probably wouldn't appreciate bringing you in for something so minor on the first day anyway, so I'll just let you of with a warning anyhow. You did fix it afterward after all."

"Anyway, I'm not fit for teaching. I mean, I'm a competent fighter and all, but that's about it. Any of the others would've told you the same thing. As for beating me first," Donovan's grin widened, showing his teeth and becoming truly feral, "I've got to warn you, I've got my own goal as well, so I'm not gonna stand still and wait for you to catch up to me."

"How about no?" A voice from the outskirts of the field cried out. Three Enforcers, two women and one male, approached Donovan, looking slightly irritated. The male walked in the center, and was the one who spoke. "Dammit Donovan, if you were just going to null the fucking agreement what the hell was the point of calling us as witnesses?"

Donovan blinked and sheepishly scratched the back of his head. Turning to Britney, he mock-whispered, "You go on ahead to the Mess Hall yeah? I'll deal with shorty here. Don't worry."

"I CAN HEAR YOU QUITE CLEARLY ASSHOLE!"

Britney saw the situation and when given the signal to leave, she wasn't gonna deny her chance to leave. As she walked out of the arena, she turned at the exit, to turn back around to Donovan, "It doesn't matter if you wait for me to catch up... I'll pass you, just watch Donovan, I'll be a head of you in no time." Her eyes met with Donovan, both with a sense of rivalry.

Despite being yelled at by his comrades, Donovan turned to her and smirked.

"We'll see!" He yelled back.

"LISTEN TO ME WHEN I'M YELLING AT YOU ASSHOLE!"

"Okay, okay, geez . . ."

Luna E. Prior

Luna snorted bemused at Viola, shaking her head with a grin. It was not entirely unexpected, seeing as teasing Viola often earned you a shot back. She gave the girl a light push with another grin, calling the small exchange a draw. The conversation was interrupted when Viktor dropped out of the blue, lying on the floor like a baby seal in the middle of a desert. Lee quickly tended to him, leaving Luna rather dumbfounded as she blinked her eyes at the weaver. His clothing was as peculiar as ever, and it was hard not to stare at his hands every now and then. Luna only recalled a few minor conversations with Viktor – nothing major. He always looked like something out a fairy tale. The odd and clever sorcerer perhaps, even if he did seem to suddenly disappear every now and then. But his magic interested Luna, especially with the possibility of traveling between dimensions. It was something she certainly wanted to learn herself – however it may be possible. For now, though, manipulating time itself was quite the trick to pull off. In addition to that, gaining control over space would be… indescribable.

The chronomancer did not even make it to ask the dehydrated mage anything before another known figure appeared. Polyanna Saccharine shared the oddness of clothing with Viktor. It was not difficult to recognize the two, even at a distance. Luna remained ever so silent, simply observing the situation before her. Though she did accept the lollipop, the girl eyed it for a bit, seeming rather reluctant. Sweets never had been her strong suit, seeing, as her parents had had no interest in giving any to her. That had not bothered her, as it just was what it was, sweets. Upon Luna’s arm, a sigil began to light up in a faint golden glow. If someone noticed it, it would not take them long to notice the frown that followed with it on Luna’s face.

“I do not mean to be rude. But we’re in fact late for the ceremony.” Luna muttered as Lee went to have a lick on the lollipop, which she herself still had not touched at all. Still, it did not seem to bother her. Instead, Luna went to Viktor. The sigil was still glowing faintly, not being bigger than a small apple. She peered at him for a second or two, pondering upon something. Supposedly, he should wake up soon. Still, she could use sooner. With that, thought Luna held up her hand, a few centimeters from the boy’s forehead. Her eyes briefly looked over her shoulder, furrowing her brow at the group before turning her head back. She cleared her throat, as she always did before messing with magic.

She muttered to herself briefly, but instead of any magical sensation the group behind her might have expected, Luna gave Viktor a light slap on the scarf that covered his face.

“Viktor! Come on, now. Not only does Polyanna want to see you, but we’re –late-.”

"Phagora Schwartz, and the pleasure is mine," she said, returning the handshake. "Oh, and before you ask, it's a family name." The little girl took a big bite of her meal, probably more than was healthy. "So, tell me a little bit about yourself, Alex. What you like to do, what sort of magic you specialize in, that sort of thing."

Alex's face sort of dropped and he sighed. "well" he said to start pausing a moment only to clooect his thoughts "I'm not really into much except for magic . My past isn't really something I talk about...... And I perform blood magic and necromancy. Alexanders face lit up happy to tell her his magical preferences. He wasn't sure how she felt about them, but he liked the darker magic and that's all he cards about.

"what about you ?" he asked the girl giving a smirk and awaiting her response @shagranoz
