"As soon as I find out the answer to my question, I'll answer yours."

"Alright. Let's get a move on. We need to gather the students able-bodied and entrusted to join us. We'll need to retrieve Elnesto and figure out the questions we still have about his character or past.

Provided those scaley thingies don't slaughter the rest of the school in the meantime, we should have the element of surprise on our hands. Should we remain secretive about our mission?"

"Nah, go and gather anyone who wants to fight the children of one of the most powerful dragons in existence. I don't know what Elnesto did, but it's gotta be pretty bad to tic them off this much."

"Aye yay, captain."
Herm tries to walk out of the office.

The door slams shut. "Who was screaming, the other students, or Elnesto? This is a very important matter."

"I'm certain it was Elnesto."
Rux lies.
"Let's get a move on."

"Then let's go. But we'll need weapons. The place we're going is very dangerous. Grab any elemental weapons you have, and meet me at the portal in the courtyard." Upon saying this, he vanishes.

Herm walks out. He heads to random students and picks them up.
After collecting a bunch, he puts them down at the gate.

"Listen maggots, you have been appointed to fulfill a mission with me."

He raises all of is six arms.

"All that refuse, will be mocked and will lose a limb. Any questions? No? Alright."

Herm forces the kids to the portal.

One of them turns and says, quite calmly, "No." His arms are folded across his chest, and his hands glow a bluish white. "You can't make us do things just because you're bigger and stronger than us. We won't go, and we now outnumber you fifteen to one. Big mistake on your part." They all begin summoning their powers, and he is quickly surrounded by angry students.

"Look. I will not fight you at all. It was a test to see who of you could recognize and respect leadership, even when not formally addressed."

He breaths in and out.

"In that manner, you have all failed. Now I don't give a flying maggot about all of your powers, but be aware those things haven't shown their true strength yet. I am a living meat shield and your best chance at surviving another invasion. Leave my supervision now and never get your hopes up ever again on anything. Next time we cross paths again, you better have mastered all of the elements, because right now I am already

THIS

close to bringing down your family, your friends, all your loved onces and when I do, I will desecrate their corpses again and again and again. I will not stop until I have collected all the thews from their bloodless bodies and have attached a fresh set of arms on my back. I will squeeze the air out of your lungs with the arms of your father and rip out your guts with the hands of your mother. With the fingers of your brothers and sisters I will claw your eyes out and collect your eye muscles as well."

Herm's eyes turn orange. Blood drips from his mouth and his teeth become pointy.

"I am a ghoul. My heart is an abyss. Your emotions mean nothing to me. You either obey or perish. There is no hope without. I will bring you Hell and you will leave me unsatisfied. The headmaster will not mourn your deaths, for he laughs at your insolence."

A blob of blood falls on the floor and gushes open.

"All that are afraid of authority, step aside and let your angst write your testament, for...















I WILL F**K YOU UP!!!"

Prisom runs forward, slamming into Herm. Herm can feel a sharp pain in his back, and it's just getting worse by the second. "You are a heartless killer, and you deserve nothing. No respect-" The pain begins to burn, like a white hot knife has been stabbed into his lower back, "-no friends, and no powers. If you ever say that again-" His eyes become pools of darkness, and the stars seem to go out. "-I'll kill you where you stand." He blurs away, and the students gather fearfully behind him. "I'm going to get the headmaster. If you move from this spot Herm, I'll know, and I will vaporize you. Understood?"

Herm looks at him and his eyes and teeth become normal again.

"Sup Prisom. Saving the day again, huh? A little late and attacking the wrong target... Typical. But hey, at least people feel safe around you. Go and get the headmaster. But if one of those suckers challenges me, you know I don't need to move."

Herm sits down and tries to meditate the pain away.

Lightning flashes ominously overhead.

@Shadow Dragon

T'sar had been called by the head of the mages to come to the armory, His services were needed as he was suppose to be on a mission with his fellow mages. The mission itself was to track down whomever is killing the local mages, Consulting the chicken bones he foresaw a bad omen on his mission. So he would tread carefully during this mission, He did not want himself or his fellow mages to have bad luck befall them. Walking slowly towards the armory and when he finally reach that area he was looking around, Touching the cold brick walls of the area. Being reminded of a crypt or catacomb which he likes to frequent once in a while.

He grimaces. "You're right. You won't have to move." He raises his hand, and a glowing cage appears around Herm. "Go ahead, try to get out. You'll just lose the limbs that touch the light, that's all." He turns and walks off. "I'm gonna go see if anyone knows about what those monsters were."

"What are you looking at?" Herm says to the people watching him in his small prison.
Herm breaths in and out. "I really hate that guy..."
Herm starts doing sit-ups and looks up."Mhh? Lightning? This time of day? Strange."

"Most people hate me. I'm just too fast, and powerful, for them to fight." He appears inside the cage, and swings around a large, curved, glowing sword. "Go ahead. Give me one reason to start slicing off various appendages." Glowing armor appears on his body, and he assumes a ready stance. "Do you know anything about those monsters?"

"Crazy flying lizard people shot Elnesto and took his body away. Some other students got kidnapped as well."

Herm continues his work-out.

"Those creatures took the students right from under your nose."

He laughs and rubs his eyes.

"Speed and power, my rectum! If you truly were the elemental mage you brag to be, you wouldn't be wasting your time in this cage. You would go out there on your own and bring them back healthy and alive. But nope, instead you are out here trying to contain me, a student that just witnessed a friend of him getting possibly murdered. Right here, you might think you look like a hero, but on paper you let students get kidnapped and now are about to slice up another student because he used his free speech to rally up forces to help find the missing students. Where were you and where should you be now? This will only cause more paperwork and you know what the headmaster thinks about reading long, disastrous piles of paper."

Herm gets up.

"I see two clear options. One is you let me out and we gather parties to track the whereabouts of the missing students. Or two, and this one is a bit more problematic, we wait for the headmaster to come and rip you and this cage apart himself. The choice is yours."

Herm rubs his eyes again and awaits an answer.

"YOU SELF ABSORBED LITTLE-!" Sigh "If we attack them now, they'll kill Elnesto. We have to find out where he is before we can do anything about his predicament. As for me attacking you, you were trying to force students to go with you, without training or equipment. It's my job to keep the students safe, and this kind of operation requires a team, with armor, weapons, a healer or two, and a guide. We're literally walking right into a dragons den, and we want to get back alive and intact. But you do not threaten to slaughter their families to get them to go with you." The cage vanishes, and he waves over a few students. "Go to the armory, and find my equipment. And Herms too, if he wants to come fight dragons. Gather anyone who is able and willing to fight giant, fire breathing lizards, and tell them to bring their weapons."

Herm lets it slide and heads over to the armory to meet up with others and collect his armor and weapon.
"My trusty hammer! I didn't know they kept you safe. The headmaster is full of surprises."
