[IC] War of Magics

[MarshiestMallow]

Shakuntala wasn't really impressed. Pakuna shifted Rhyme in his arms, the small wiry boy easily holding the massive cat in one arm, brushing back his somewhat long hair with his other hand. Shakuntala reminded herself to cut it for him.

"I'm Shakuntala" she said, "so, you all got letters?"

[Nicias Askani]

"follow your heart, it said, to learn magic. at a school. yea that letter. i burned it"

[MarshiestMallow]

"You have a bit of an attitude problem,'don't you?" Shakuntala said, frowning slightly, "why burn it?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"You have a bit of an attitude problem,'don't you?" Shakuntala said, frowning slightly, "why burn it?"

[Nicias Askani]

Sage glanced at Shakuntala "something had to keep the fire going that night. it was all i had left." he shrugged "beside its not like it was a map or directions"

Eric said with a small snort," you were in the middle of the forest, it can't be too hard to get firewood from the area around you." He watched Sage now, not particularly fond of him already. Something about his attitude towards things. He looked up at the castle then back at the others around him, then the masters.

[Nicias Askani]

"wet wood doesn't burn. dry paper does." sage spoke without looking at Eric. Getting caught in the rain hadnt been something he prepared for. but he had no reason to explain himself to Eric.

[MarshiestMallow]

Shakuntala smiled slightly. Water had been in the forest after all. She looked over at the three figures waiting at the entrance. Then back at the other students.

It hadn't escaped her notice that she was the only girl there so far. What did that mean, if anything? She also appeared to be the eldest, and apart from her and Pakuna it appeared none of them were related.

"You can always find dry would, if you look hard enough" Pakuna surprised her by speaking

[SomeoneSomewere]

Eric nodded to Pakuna in agreement. He then said," but enough of this. I am Eric, to anyone that cares." He looked around, waiting to see if anyone would reply to him." He watched everyone, keeping a rather good poker face, keeping his emotions relatively hidden from the others.

[Nicias Askani]

Sage waved his hand "sage." but never looked at anyone. just started at the castle thinking to himself. if there are only six of us like the young one said thats aan awful lot of space for six people and 5...elements. hopefully this last one shows up. I gotta piss

[MarshiestMallow]

"Shakuntala" Shakuntala said, "and my suddenly chatty brother, Pakuna" she nudged her brother, and he set down Rhyme.

"To anyone that cares?" Pakuna frowned "why wouldn't we care? We are here, after all"

[SomeoneSomewere]

Erik shrugged slightly at the question. He didn't really know why he said that. He just felt like saying it. He said," I don't really know why I said it, I just did. Some people might not want to here and so have no desire to learn any names or something." He shrugged again," I'm not sure though."

[MarshiestMallow]

"It's either this, or be killed" Pakuna said with a shrug.

Shakuntala had wanted nothing more than for Pakuna to be a kid. He was too serious though. She sighed "well that's true"

The silence that filled the air was tangible, Johnny had to stop himself from taking his pocket knife and cutting himself a piece of it, at least it would fill his belly metaphorically, but they were all hungry, that's just how it was, they would have to wait here he supposed until the sixth arrived, Johnny wondered who it could be, what they would be like, if they were anything like these others he didn't doubt that his time at this 'academy' would be anything but boring. He began to rub his hands together, and then blew on them, causing a small ball of fire to head from his palms for a pile of dead leaves as he sat down next to them, watching the action.

"That actually brings up a question I've had for awhile, where is here, and why is there A GIANT CASTLE?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"It isn't gaint" Shakuntala said, "and here is where we are meant to be" she said, she shrugged, looking over at Water, Fire and Wind. Earth then, and spirit, were left.

She frowned, then started up to them, "may we please enter? It's cold, and I do not want my brother getting sick, no matter how strong he is"

"You dare appro-" Fire started, but Water laid a hand on his arm.

"Love" Wind said softly, "no matter what kind, gives us strength to do things we believe we aren't capable off. You child, know this"

"Very well" Water said, stepping aside, "you will find food, water and warmth in the entrance hall"

Shakuntala turned and smiled "let's go!" She turned back to the three teachers "thank you"

[Nicias Askani]

sage's eyes lit up for a fraction of a second "which way is the bathroom....please.."

[MarshiestMallow]

None of the trio answered. They turned their attention back to the forest. Waiting and watching.

"Guess you have to find it yourself" Shakuntala said

[Nicias Askani]

Sage didnt have to be told twice. he jogged inside and powered walked through the halls until he found the bathroom and relieved himself. he felt so much better but when he left the bathroom he was lost but he followed the smell of food back

[SomeoneSomewere]

Erik entered the room, looking around. First, he needed to see to his weapons, then he would eat. Not until then. He said," I wonder where the rooms are for us. I have some things to do." He looked around, frowning a bit. This would be interesting, for how would he know which room is his?

[MarshiestMallow]

Light flooded the room, and a being appeared in the middle of it.

"You would be wise not to wonder the halls until welcomed, children" Spirit said. "Four. Where is the fifth? Earth and the last student appear to be delayed. No matter"

Water, Fire and Wind had entered upon hearing Spirit.
