Toby chuckled a bit as watched Callista stumble as her dragon start to grumble and move. His horns we're now visible to all three of them so he felt a bit silly not talking. He started to feel flames grow on the tip of his horns as he realised he was getting cold outside and needed to get inside quick.

He was aided by Callistas dragon suddenly being more grumpy and found a bit of confidence in his lungs somehow. "Yeah it'd be better inside, I think I know a spare girls dorm near mine you could use, the school wouldn't mind." He said with a little grin as he started to move quicker towards the school.

Matt

"Okay then, bye you two," Matt said with a little half smile. As the two of them went off towards the dorms, Matt sat down on a nearby bench and leaned back. Coming back wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it would be. The only problem would be seeing his old friends. He never really was good at meeting people he hadn't seen in a while. They probably forgot all about him. He imagined what it would be like if he went up and talked to them. They would probably look at him as if he was a complete idiot. Matt sighed. His good mood had completely vanished.

She looked behind him and realized that Matt hadn't followed, and remembered hearing him saying something as they disappeared. She watched for a few moments more before shrugging disappointingly as drawing her attention back to Toby. Her chest tensed when he seemed to switch in front of her, his horns were out which wasn't a surprise after realizing that he wasn't human, but she wondered what he was. She was afraid that if she would ask him then he would ask her and she had yet to come up with a secret.

She wasn't sure why he mentioned the dorm room close to his, but decided to also not make note in it. She stood back up from the stairs and took a deep breath looking towards the doors that lead in to the school. She then bit her lip and open the door to see the main lobby, the floor was so shiny it looked like glass. It was elegantly modern as if it had just been built. She watched for Toby from the corner of her eye as she continued to walk in to the school. "Where do we go again?" She said completely confused by the mazes of hallways and doors inside the the room.

Toby began to hop in front of her to the school until they got in. He looked around and then at Callista. She looked very nice and a bit familiar. He smiled at her as he ran towards the lift that would take them to their dorms. He made a gesture for her to follow him.

He was enjoying today, like he did every first day. But this was too good of a day. Something was bound to happen.

She blinked at him, no answer came from her question. She kind of felt puzzled, what was wrong with him. She looked away and then looked around for directions, she could smell... Her eyes widened and she squealed. "I smell human food!" Her eyes glistened all she could think about was apples. She just wanted apples, apples, apples. She was so excited. She didn't know if Toby was still with her as she ran for the kitchen, looking around for where the fruit would be. She barged in to the kitchen and looked around until she found a fruit basket. She found a large red apple, and her mouth dropped in awe.

Her took a big bite out of it, her eyes glazed over as she enjoyed the taste. She loved apples, well it was the only human food she had ever tried so she didn't really have a choice to not love apples. She continued to munch happily on it and decided to carry one around for Leo, he loved apples as well. He said it was like a juicy seed to him. She giggled as she tucked it away and continued to munch on the apples, wondering if Toby followed or not.

Matt

After sitting down for a while and breathing the fresh air, Matt made his way to the main part of the school, passing through the garden on his way. He loved the colors that the flowers gave, and hoped that he could maybe find someone who could tell him what names' the flowers had. Once he got inside, he looked around. Yup, same massive room that he had so excitedly entered all those years ago. He was so busy looking up, that he bumped into someone by mistake.
"Oh, sorry!" Matt apoligized to the boy, who looked kind of like a centaur, except more deer-like than horse.

Toby was still waiting for the girl to follow when the lift doors began to close. Where was she? Did she hate him? He wasn't sure so he jumped out the lift and ran after her. It looked like she was heading to the kitchen, maybe she was hungry.

He clambered into the kitchen after tripping over a table or two and found the girl dressed in White who had caught his attention. "Oh just looking for something to eat.." He said as a wave of realisation hit him. "I thought you were running away from me like most people"

She continued to munch into the fruit as if she was a happy puppy with it's first toy. She giggled as the sweetness touched her tongue. She swallowed the piece as Toby walked in, her smile was big in bright, she was more than happy at that moment. Today had turned in to a good day, and she had made a new friend. She closed her eyes and took another bite, all of a sudden a sparkly tail and pair of ears attached their selves to her, she giggled as the tail wagged obediently. She was kind of a dork.. She had taught herself to become different objects and used them to be playful.

She then realized what Toby had said and stopped munching on the apple. The silver dust fell and then disappeared. Her eyes stuck to him with confusion covering her facial expression. Well, that was harsh. She relaxed her face, she never knew what that was like but she had watched human's experience it, it was a sad thing to go through. She felt sorry but she never had to try to talk to one who felt that way. She tensed and shifted her position, forcing a smile. "I won't ever run away from you, I promise." She stuck out her pinky hoping she was doing the right thing. This is how you make a promise isn't it? She looked at his hand and then back up at him waiting for his reply.

Toby began to relax on a chair as he just watched her eat fruit like it was the greatest thing ever, and it was onky apples which was a bit odd. Only apples, that was funny to Toby, in the past the only time he'd ever heard of something with a great love for apples was in the manga desth note and those were...... Suddenly it hit him like a truck as realisation dawned and he realised what he had talked to fir the last five minutes. A shinigami.

He sat there eyes wide in astonishment as he looked around began to feel fire jumping off his horns. He retracted them and looked at the girl confused. Does that mean she had died in another life, well to be fair he had seen weirder.

Still eyes widened, Toby couldn't help bug be polite and smile at her saying she wouldn't run away. He extended his own pinky to shake and looked into her face."I----I think I've figured out what you are..." He said cautiously as he got an apple for himself. "I mean....my theories are crazy, but this one seems to real and there's no holes in it...I mean you must be what I think you are..."

Two steps away from the door, Djhango paused for a moment. A six sense told him something happened, something unusual and alien to him. He shrugged it off and continued to walk. Looking down at the map, he pondered where would be his next destination. Maybe the gardens? Sure, why not he thought. It wasn't like he had much to do or go to anyway. Nice scenery would be pretty soothing to his eyes.

He continued to stare at the map, making sure he wouldn't get lost but picked up his head to make sure he wouldn't bump into somebody. With a decent pace, he eventually came upon the central hall. "Alright, so from here... I go... this way?" Djhango thought as he scanned around for the next path he needed to take to arrive at the gardens. His eyes also scanned at all the different creatures around the area. Some appeared human, and some who didn't resemble a human in the slightest. Although one of the said "didn't resemble a human in the slightest" creatures was standing around, possibly waiting for somebody. The person resembled a centaur but appeared to be more... not threatening like one. Maybe this person knew where the exact way as to where the garden was, because the map Djhango held barely got him to the dorms lets alone any of the sections in the academy.

"Uh, excuse me... but do you happen to know which way the garden is-" Djhango asked as he approached the centaur(?) before being cut off by a boy who bumped into the creature. "Oh, sorry!" The boy apologized. Djhango's eyes tensed up a bit in confusion. "There's a half-man, half-horse/deer(?) standing in front of you, and you didn't notice?" He thought to himself.

Fredricka

Fredricka walked the forest alone, her thoughts floating, her head in the clouds. She was daydreaming again. There was a beautiful prince and she was his princess. She looked into his sparkling eyes as they stared into each other's eyes. The dreamy thoughts bolted from her mind as a strong wind below over her, nearly knocking her down? What was that? She blinked, looking in the direction of the wind. She could see faintly the shimmer of white scales. A large snake? She smiled. This school certainly had interesting students.

Sighing, she walked closer to the garden, one of the few places on campus that she'd been able to find solitude in. They'd given her a room but she hadn't even gone to it. She preferred sleeping outside anyway. She walked along the edge of a beautiful pond. The blue sky was shimmering in it so brilliantly. She spotted a black haired boy and a tall bulky man standing next to a deer like boy. She tilted her head to the side and walked over to him, watching the deer boy with ever curious eyes. A creature she'd never seen before. How strange... Though, she could also feel the nature of the other two. One, she knew was a bird, what kind, she didn't know. The other was a bit harder to decipher. He reminded her of those legends of old, of the great stone creatures that guarded the old castles in Ireland.

Ethan

His wings lifted him into the bright blue sky, his glistening eyes looking determinedly at the school ahead of him. About time... He blinked quickly, his birdlike eyes adjusting as he slowed his ascent. He landed softly on the grassy campus ground, his bare feet feeling it's coolness. He smirked, as only a beak-faced boy could. As suddenly as he arrived, he shifted. A bright, electrifying light surrounding him. When it faded, a blonde haired boy with bags on his shoulder appeared, his face an expression of confusion. "Wh-Where am I?" He muttered, looking around. He looked down and noticed his luggage, a note tied to it. He bent down and picked it up. He blinked as he read it, not quite understanding how he'd gotten here.

Suddenly, realization hit. He'd done it again. He took in a deep breath and let out a long shuddering sigh. Whatever. It was time he found his room and settled in. As he walked, he noticed a large white dragon sitting on the lawn. Wh-What?! His eyes grew wide as he eyed the creature. What sort of place was this? He felt normal compared to that... All he did was black out, right? He closed his eyes and kept walking. No, it wasn't that simple. He blacked out, but while doing so things happened that he couldn't explain. He needed to get this figured out and fast.

Farrow

"Oh!" The strange creature stumbled about on his four hooves, nearly slipping on the smooth floor "S-sorry... I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings either, should've seen you coming. " He stared at the raven haired boy, "Excuse me, do you happen to know your way around here? I'm a bit lost, it's such a big place" Despite the hugeness of the school, Farrow found the garden to be a nice place, he'll have to hang around there when he gets the chance.

The centaur twiddled his fingers, nervously, "You see, I'm a bit new here and I'm looking for someone who could possibly be a guild around here... Would you happen to know anyone like that?" Farrow wasn't exactly the smoothest one on one speakers out there.

Sasha had been so enveloped in her own thoughts that she had neglected to hear the dragon crash from her dorm room. She was emotionally troubled as usual, remembering horrifying school experiences she had been told of in the past. I really need to learn how to control my memories, she thought. As the Olympian Goddess of Memory, she was forced to retain every memory she ever had or witnessed someone else having through mind connection, and already contained more memories than most humans had in their lifetime. She thought about the excitement of meeting other supernaturals and that got her positive again, and she decided she was ready to leave her room and find others. She wondered if at some point in the day there would be some grand announcement or speech welcoming everyone to the school.

Stepping out of the elevator into the main hall, she marveled a second time at the school's immense beauty before shifting her field of vision downwards to the crowd of people mingling about before her. She barely caught a glimpse of a girl running into the kitchen and a horned boy giving chase. She quickly dismissed this and started walking into the crowd, hoping to more closely examine the different species in attendance. She noticed that as she walked the throngs parted for her, but she sensed no evidence that any of them even knew that she was there. Soon, though, in the middle of her path two creatures bumped into each other - one was a normal-looking boy (though Sasha was sure he wasn't normal) and one was a centaur-like creature. It was different than a normal centaur, though...almost like a deer. As she got closer a tall, burly man and a beautiful woman-fox joined the group. She became wary of stepping into that big of a group, but being surrounded by the Red Sea of supernatural creatures that had somehow parted for her, she had no choice. She paused for a moment, examining the four both physically and mentally. She wasn't sure where'd she'd fit in the conversation. "Hello," she said simply, speaking in her typical smooth, serene voice. "My name is Sasha. ...am I interrupting anything?"

Ignore~

Lily

She sighed, sitting in her room. She looked around at her things. They were now scattered about the room, almost haphazardly. She let out a long sigh and looked out towards the window. She missed the sky. The feel of the wet clouds against your face, the sun casting it's rays over you while the wind whipped your hair around. Playing hero had been interesting but it was time she stopped running away and faced her fears. She chuckled at herself. She hadn't realized it until a few days ago. She wasn't really there to save lives. That was just a facade. She wasn't doing anything worth while. She could do so much more. It only took that old man's words to make her realize that she was running away, as always. That's all she'd ever done. Run away. She was never any use to anyone. She closed her eyes forcefully, as if trying to wash the bad thoughts away. Not anymore.

Not long after, she was out the door, her gun hid on her person. She might be with people she could trust but she felt naked without it now. She walked down the stairs briskly, headed for anywhere at all. There was a group forming at the garden, one of them she recognized. M-Matt? She felt her heart cringe, a memory from a time long ago. Maybe... She let out a small sigh and shook her head. No. She needed to figure this out on her own. She looked over at the group, her eyes till set on Matt. She did want to talk to him but... maybe later would be better.

She trudged on, heading for anywhere at all. Maybe she should visit the gym again. She chuckled as memories of John, Shira and Himura flooded back to her. Maybe she should. She walked on, walking past the cafeteria. More memories flooded back to her. That crazy man that got stuck in the ceiling, Kataleya's lovely french toast. A soft smile grew on her lips. She walked inside. She'd intended to go to the gym, but the rumble in her stomach told her otherwise. She stopped by the fruit cart and reached around a boy and a girl that were standing there. The girl was munching on a peach quite enthusiastically. She smiled to the both of them and grabbed an orange before walking off to go find a seat by herself.

Fredricka

She blinked, hearing the deer boy speak. She smiled softly, wanting to let the boy he'd directed the question at answer. Besides, she didn't know this school very well either. She turned at a soft melodious voice. There was a pretty blonde girl with crystal blue eyes that had walked up. Fredricka smiled warmly. "Certainly not. I'm Fredricka. It's nice to meet you, Sasha." She greeted the girl, her voice soft and warm.

She couldn't get a read for this girl either. She just felt... special. "I'm not really in the conversation, anyway. I was just... curious." She explained with a small smile, her blue eyes watching the girl with motherly eyes. She crossed her arms and turned to look at the rest of the group. "I think I might actually leave. I don't do so well with large crowds. I was just... curious." She explained and then turned to look back into the forest. A safe haven.

She became tense when he comments on knowing what she was. She held her breath, she thought about it. What she would say? She waited and squeezed his finger then let go promptly to return to her apple. She took a bite, and swallowed it quickly. "Okay let me hear these guesses." Her voice was believable, her nervousness faded as if she could mimic this emotion of being content effortlessly.

The apple had ended to quickly and she looked around to only seeing different kind of fruit. She stopped momentarily and contemplated which one she should try next. She picked up a tomato and pressed it to her nose and scrunched it while pulling it away. Definitely not. She giggled and picked up a peach, she smelt it and it had a sweet aroma. She smiled and pulled it to her lips as she faced Toby again, anxiously she bites in to it and falls in love all over again. She wiggles in excitement but realized this was an important conversation and she needed to focus.

She listened intently until a loud and monstrous roar vibrated the ground and filled the air. She stood up quickly. She didn't hesitate and ran for the doors, it was Leo. He was awake, and alone. He hated when she would disappear and had a habit of throwing major fits when she played games like that. She continued to run as she heard him roar again agitation in his voice. She saw people in the hall way and the only way she had to pass them was up. She quickened her speed and with a quick leap she whisked over their heads and landed. "Sorry!" She yelled back and continued to mumble "I'm coming, I'm coming!" She ran out the doors quickly and darted for the tantrum throwing dragon. Once she made it to him, she lifted herself until she sat on his nose, holding up an apple. His voice stops and he relaxes but his eyes are glued to the apple. She threw it, and leaped off his head as he caught the apple without moving. She sat on the ground and huffed up at him. "Can we not stand out while we are here." She giggled.

Matt

The deer centaur replied and said that it was fine, and that he wasn't paying attention either. Then he asked if Matt knew his way around the school.
"Oh, yeah. If you want, I could get you a map, or I could just show you to where you want to go," Matt replied, but before the deer could reply, a big man arrived and asked how he ended up missing the deer boy. After that, people just ended up gathering around him. Soon the group had five people. At least, until a fox person left again. Matt sighed. He never knew what to do at times like these. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone he thought he recognized, but when he turned his head, nobody was there.
I must be seeing things. Matt thought, scratching his head. Out loud, he told the deer boy, "What do you want me to show you again?"

Feeling uncomfortable wondering the halls of the academy alone, Leo made his way over the the nearby forest to take a nap in the grass under the warmth of the sun. However he was too uneasy to sleep. Feeling lonely, he decided to give his older brother Dante a call

---

Dante was having a pretty good week; after a lot of searching, he finally had a lead on the location of the Crimson String of Fate. He knew the location of the temple, and he even had the amulet that opened it. And if that weren't enough, he had also stumbled across the legendary sword Caladbolg. He was feeling so good, that he decided to celebrate. And so he found himself in a bar in Ireland. But not a normal bar. No, this one was located in a pocket dimension, one no human could enter. As such, the patrons of the bar didn't have to worry about keeping their true race a secrete. "Ah! Life is good" Dante said to himself in high spirits. He was in such a good mood, that he almost didn't notice the strange man approach him

"Pardon me" a man covered head to toe in a black cloak said "but you wouldn't happen to be Dante Manis...would you?"

He knew his name. In this business, that was a bad sign. If he had managed to locate him, then he no doubt was smart enough to have backup placed in strategic locations around the bar. It was clear what he wanted; if he was looking for him, then he was after the Crimson String of Fate and knew that Dante was as well. This guy clearly had this entire encounter planed out. One wrong move and who knows hoe many goons would be on him. This guy might even have a small army with him

...Sounds like fun

"Yep, that me" Dante confirmed. "Let me just speed things up here; you know I'm after the Crimson String of Fate, and you probably also know that I already have the Amulet of the Two Lovers needed to open the Temple True Heart. You want me to give you the amulet, but I won't, so you sick your goons on me and I kill them all. Do you mind if we just skip to the part where I kill all your men, that's my favorite part?" he asked with a sly smile

The cloaked man was both shocked and outraged "why you...get him!!!" at his command, two large ogres rushed at Dante from his sides. Quickly jumping backwards from his seat, Dante pulled out Caladbolg from underneath his trench coat and sliced off the ogre's heads with one clean cut. Next, a troll came up from behind him, but Dante quickly turned around jabbed both of his lungs and his heart with his new sword. Next he-

♪Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends♪

Dante quickly pulled out his cellphone and answered "hey little bro, how's your new school?"

"Hey Dante. Not too good so far. It's really lonely all by myself"

"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that little dude" he said as he cut an incoming dark elf through the waist

"Yeah, I......Dante, are you in another bar fight?"

"Eh, just a little one" Dante answered while sliding under a table to knee an Incubus in the groin

"What's it about this time?"

"We're just fighting over the key to an ancient temple that house a relic of unbelievable power" Dante replied as he tossed Caladbolg at a line of goons before jumping over their dead bodies to reclaim the sword

"Oh, ok. Anyway, I just needed to hear a familiar voice"

"It's no trouble little dude, I'm not doing anything important" he said while ripping a stone golem apart one handed

"Thanks Dante. Well, bye"

"See ya bro" and with that, Dante hung up. With his now undivided attention, he looked over the remains of the gruesome battle "geeze, the least they could have done was put up more of a fight"

---

Now off the phone and feeling a little more at easy, Leo decided to just lie back and look at the clouds. Some might argue that it might be easier to watch them outside the forest, but he didn't really care

To answer Django's question, Farrow pointed off in the direction that Matt came from. "The garden is over there I believe... You looking for something there, sir?"

So many people were approaching him so quickly, although he should've expected this many people in such a short time. An attractive woman with fox ears and a tail, a muscular looking man with a strange hair style and heterochromatic eyes, and a normal looking boy; it must be odd for him, being the must normal looking in the group, but looks can be decieving and the boy could be hiding something for all he knows. All and all, the school was just what the deertaur expected it to be; a potpourri of supernatural entities.

Farrow turned to the Fox Woman, "You're not interrupting anything, don't worry, ma'am." Farrow spoke in a humble, yet polite tone; after all, if he's going to be here, being polite is a must. "Nice to meet you, Sasha, I'm Farrow."

Farrow, looking back to Matt, he grins, happy for his assistance "Well, a map would be nice. It's easy to get lost here after all. I'm use to getting around forests, not large buildings"
