[IC] Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents and Draconic Arts- Second year

[RpgKitten]

Chastity had dreamed of being back home with her friends, still all together, still with Abigail. They has been talking, she wasn't sure about what, but she felt so happy in peaceful. They embraced each other in a hug until Chastity fell asleep in the dream. When she woke up in reality, an hour before the 'bell,' she smiled and looked around for her roommate, thinking everything was still good, that she was still home. Until she remembered all that had happened, that everything she ever loved was gone. Her heart sank, she wanted to look at a picture of Abby, but they were all on her non-functioning phone.

Chastity wondered if she had brought anything Abigail had given her, she mentally went through the list of thing she had gotten from Abby. Her eyes went wide and she thought, how could I have forgotten Abigail gave me the Violin, I'm such an idiot! She stood up, she felt like it was hopeless but she wanted to check the hall for even a piece of the violin, it was stupid, but she felt like that instrument might be her only connection to Abby. She went out into the hall and looked at were she had thrown it, not even a trace, as if it was never there. She was upset at herself for throwing it, and she wished Palentine hadn't been so quick to clean it up. She turned back to her room looking downcast. But then she saw her violin good as new resting on the wall, she couldn't believe it, she was so happy to have it. She quickly grabbed it up and embraced it like she had never seen anything better in her whole life. She almost skipped back into her room, and quietly shut her door. She just laid back on her bed and thought about all the good times she had with Abby as she hugged the violin against her chest, tears ran down her face, but she had a grin on her lips. Chastity knew she was being silly but she didn't care.

An hour later, when Chasity had heard the dragon roar, she jumped up from her bed and place the electric violin gently on her bed. Then went outside to see what was going on. She looked around and quickly wiped her tears away as she saw Lady Violetta, Ayaka, and Roisin outside. She coughed trying to clear her throat before saying. "Er. What's going on?" Her pets had also woken up and all three of them followed her, the two tweeters perched on one shoulder, and the dragon landed on the other.

---

Angeleon woke up with a start from hearing a faint dragon's roar coming from the school. He instinctively went to an attack position, before he came to his senses. "Dragons are a normal thing here, no need to panic." He said trying to reassure himself, but he was still on edge, and he was still stiff and sore from his last dragon encounter.

---

James had been working on his ideas for Angeleon's stable, of course he was going to make it much better than the typical stable. The Pegacorn could fly so he was definitely going to need a place where he could land and take off from. And most birds needed a high point to leap from, he didn't know about Angeleon but he decided it would be a good idea either way. When he heard the dragon's call he went to the students room, figuring it would be good to group up with everyone, especially since he wasn't really sure what else he should be doing at the moment.

Lady Violetta smiled and spoke as everyone came out of their room

"That was the morning wake up alarm. We will be heading to the Meditation Room in 15 minutes. Please be ready at that time."

[Ninkitty]

Ayaka
Medition Room in 15 minutes. Ayaka thought to herself as she went back into her room. She made sure both pets were fed and that she brushed her hair before walking back out of her room.

Allison
Allison decided that it wasn't important to speak with Lady Violetta at this moment. She had forgotten she was asked to teach the Meditation class to the first years. Deciding it was probably best to speak with the headmistress at breakfast, Allison decided to head to the meditation room to see what was there. Meditating didn't look to work any different than when she was a student by what she saw in the room.

[KindledBeast]

Dante was already awake when the first bell rang her was brushing his teeth in the bathroom without a shirt on he could never not get tooth paste on his shirt whenever he had one on. He thought about the night before he was becoming a necromancer he would have never imagined.

[notdeadyet]

Tirah had woken up nearly a half hour before hearimg any sorts of roar, so instead the roar startled her, making her drop her toothbrush on the floor. She sighed a bit. She was tense here on campus, because she didnt want to mess up in front of everyone again. She was determined to make her puking incident the last of its kind. So, Tirah washed off her toothbrush, and rinsed out her mouth, put a pin in her hair, and made a mental goal, that today would be perfect.

Meditation room in 15 minuts she repeated to herself as she went down the Magical Stairway. It was hard to think about meditation class when she was busy running down the Stairs, or praying that her parents werent too deathly upset with her for leaving despite their wishes. Meanwhile, she worried about numerou things, primarily being the lion kitten she expected to show up sometime soon. What if it arrives when im gone? What if they get hungry? Will it be a boy or a girl lion? Will i need more snack? What if they accidentally give me a full sized lion, and i come back to no bedroom!!!! and as if somebody switched the magic switch, she began hyperventallating and she ran almost completely winded onto the floorbwith the meditation room. She could see it, in plain site and just ha to reach it. Despite a gentle black "fuzz" closing in on the edge of vision she would make it, and it was a small internal victory when she finally got to the door. She tried to steady her breathing, and waited for someone else to show up. Weather it was a teacher or a student, that way she didnt walk in alone, and make herself too obvious.

[Ninkitty]

Allison was still in the middle of planning the morning’s lesson when she saw a student arrive. The girl looked out of breath like she had run the whole way here for some reason. “Hello there,” Allison called to the student from inside the room. She walked over toward the door where Tirah was. “Is everything ok?” Of course, it may be just that the whole thing might be overwhelming to her which Allison can understand.

A cat suddenly appeared on Tirah's head. Blaze was still as playful as ever and sensed she was upset so he wanted to try and cheer her up.

"Blaze. Stop that. She's probably scared enough as it is without your help." Allison scolded her crazy fire cat who immediately jumped off her head. "Sorry about that. It seems he'll never grow out of his crazy antics."

[notdeadyet]

A cat apearing on Tirah's head was quite the view. She was just about to answer the teacher by explaining some of her health conditions. But instead she ended up jumping in fright, an messing up her hair trying to remove whatever she sensed upon her nogin.

[Aisling]

Lady VIoletta walked in at that particular time and saw the kitten on Tirah's head.

"Please calm down Tirah. Your kitten has arrived." she spoke softly and gently picked up the smallish kitten and held it out to Tirah.
A golden lion cub looked a bit frighten since it was sent via express magic.

[notdeadyet]

Tirah's fear vanished instantly as she saw the lion kitten (cub?), an she gasped shortly. Her smile sprea ear to ear, and she would have pounced upon the opportunity to hugg the kitten for hefirst time, but she had seen a rathe frightened look about their posture. Instead, she cupped her right hand and delicately aproached the cub, presenting the back of her hand for them to sniff. She was no expert on animals, especially ones as beautifull as the small golden bundle of fur before her, but she heard somewhere, offering the back of a cupped hand was a less hostile gesture to animals.

Her left hand reached into the snack pocket of her belt, and pulled out a small, quarter inch large square flake of dehydrated fish, which she offered to the cub. This was it, this was her companion for life, and she wanted to e their best friend from the moment they met. She tried to observe it for signs of its gender, or a name tag, or any other specific identification features. She knew she didnt have long because class was about to start. She prayed the teacher would be understanding enough to let her hold the cub on her lap in class, or take them back to her dorm, which would lead her to be a few moments late.

[Aisling]

"It's yours so please take it. its up to you to name it and check out it's gender." Lady Violetta spoke softly as she was still holding the poor cub out to Tirah.

[Ninkitty]

Allison saw the golden lion cub handed to Tirah. "There's more pets to choose from nowadays?" she asked while watching Tirah give the cub a snack. Honestly, Allison didn't care if it stayed in the room. The problem with that would be that it could distract Tirah as well as other students. Especially for this being their first year here and some may not know how to block everything out and focus on one thing yet. She even planned on having Blaze go back to their room and wait for her when it came time to start class.

"You might want to bring it back to your room before class," Allison told her.

[notdeadyet]

Tirah got the idea of what the teecher was saying, and took the cub in both hands, then hurried to the stairs. "Ill be right back! I wont be late!" She called over her shoulder in a very determined way. She then went up the stairs as fast as she could without scaring the cub, which she learned was pretty much as fast as she could go. The cub was definately a boy, upon inspection, and didnt seem at all upset or scared of her movement. "Courage?" She thought... THAT WAS IT! The perfect name for this perfect little creature. She would call them courage!

In her room, Tirah quickly set up a litter box, and took a dish for dehydrated fish chunks and left that on the floor. She took a very shallow dish, filled it up nearly 1 inch with water, and placed that next to it. Finaly, she set up a little bed in case courage got tired. She did one last sweep of the room to make sure there wasnt anything to choke on or get stuck in or anything like that within Courage's reach. Than she ran back downstairs, 3 steps at a time, with a huge grin. Tirah nearly passed out she had winded herself so much, but she just kept thinking of courage, and it gave her the strength to get to class on time.

((I am assumeing that everyone has arrived))

“You have improved your concentration a lot since you have started here.
Now we will begin to mix the various things we learned last semester. In Mental/Mind Control Magic, we learned how to use Telepathy – Ability to speak mind to mind of a single creature , Telekinesis- ability to move objects or bend objects,Levitation- the ability to float.
Today we will begin to do something more fun yet a lot more difficult. Let's begin by getting comfortable on our pillows.

Now close your eyes and clear your mind of everything. Imagine yourself walking into your mind. Not your whole body but your inner self. Your small self that sometimes we call our conscience. You can look however you wish it does not matter what you look like because no one can see you there.

As you open the door you can see all kinds of memories, facts, information on school subjects, traveling, on magic and more including useless trash just sitting around. What you need to do is to organize your brain. Make a room for your memories, another one for facts, and another one....... Now start picking up the various pieces and put them into piles. When you get everything in piles you then take them into a room where you can file them in a cabinet drawer.. Label each file as to what it is. Each kind of thing in your head needs to be filed away for further examination......

What you should have left is the trash. Now place all of the trash in a box. Put this box in a room for later. Now you have a clean mind. A mind that does not have clutter sitting around. Now it is time to leave but you need a key to lock your brain from getting cluttered from outside sources. Imagine a special key that is just for you to use. As you leave your mind, lock the door and put the key somewhere only you can find it.

As you leave your brain, you will come back to your body and will open your eyes. I'll answer any questions after everyone is back.” Lady Violetta spoke softly.

Roisin sat down on her pillow and put her legs in the lotus position. She closed her eyes as instructed. As she listen to what Lady Violetta said, she began to do it. She made a room for memories, school stuff, magic stuff, and other things. As she picked up all of the scraps of things, she could see that her mind was very cluttered but did not know it. Once she put all of the stuff away, including the box of trash, the inner brain was totally empty and she felt very light head. She made her key in a shape of a rainbow because it reminded her of promises that were to be kept. After she locked the door of her brain, she had to think of a good place to put the key so that no one could find it. The best place in her mind was around her neck on a solid chain. Soon she was out of her brain and back into the Meditation Room. Roisin was very surprised for she felt like she did go into her brain and worked to clean it up!

[Ninkitty]

Ayaka
Ayaka sat on her pillow and did exactly what Lady Violetta instructed. She started organizing her memories into different files inside her brain while labeling everything accordingly. In the process of this, she saw how cluttered her brain was. She put all the clutter she found in a box labeled as trash and decided she was finished. Before she left she imagined a key shaped like a dog and a cat together because her two pets seem to be making fast friends.

She imagined that key to be tucked away inside her bag before locking the door and opening her eyes to find herself back in the Meditation Room. “How does your brain become cluttered like that?” she asked the headmistress when she returned.

Allison

(I’m going to assume everyone is here now…)
Allison asked her firecat, Blaze to go wait for her elsewhere before starting. “Well to start, I never got the chance to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Allison and I’m here to help out Lady Violetta with whatever she needs help with. There’s a pile of pillows in the back which you can choose from. Whichever pillow you choose will go in your own Meditation Locker at the end of class.”

She waited for each student to grab a pillow and choose a place to sit down at before continuing. “We’ll start with learning how to clear your mind and slow down your breathing. Close your eyes and breathe in while counting to three, count to three again before breathing out again. Count to three while breathing out as well. Do this over and over again.”

“It would be breathe in and count to three, hold it in and count to three, and breathe out and count to three.”

James began meditating himself, it was very calming. But his mind was already pretty neat, everything that was military facts and memories were already organised and put at the from of the room, in the darkest corner of the room was a cabinet of memories, each one of a death, some of friends, others he had caused. In the brightest corner were several good memories, but also a black safe which had several chains around it, James flinched and felt a deep sadness whenever he looked at it. He cleaned up the rest of the room and organised it by potential usefulness, but the safe remained where it was.

Chastity sat down on a pillow, she was a little nervous about going into her mind, she imagined it would be a terrible place. But it was her mind and she decided that she would conquer it. She cleared her mind, and then imagined walking into her mind, but her conscious looked as a disgusting looking demon child. Lady Violetta said they could appear however they wished, but no matter how hard she tried she remained as the scrawny and hideous demonic girl. She decided to forget about it and just move on. The hall of her mind was a dark place, on the walls were satanic symbols written in blood. The hall seemed to stretch on getting narrower and narrower, the scenery around her was terrifying as she kept passing graphic images, exactly what she imagined she would find in her mind. Eventually she came upon an ominous looking door. Upon opening it, she saw a room that was a gigantic mess, it was hard to tell the trash from the useful information. Upon each of the heaps were little imps who had twisted faces of people she knew, they were throwing things about, there goal seemed only to be to make a mess of the place. there was also a throne made of trash that faced away from her, she couldn't see the creature that sat in it. She took a step back, not sure what to do. Suddenly all the imps looked at her and started cackling as they lunged towards her, they started biting and scratching her, Chastity screamed. She was in shock, she couldn't stop imagining what was going on. Back in her room her tweeters sensed something wrong and they flashed out of their cages and to Chastity, the dragon fought against his prison, trying to break out. Lilith and Lucifer flew around her, they weren't sure what was going on, Chastity looked as if she was in pain and in terror, but nothing was happening to her. They both looked at Lady Violetta and Lilith shouted into her mind. "WHAT'S HAPPENING, SHOULDN'T YOU BE DOING SOMETHING!? HELP HER!!!" While Lucifer just looked worried, and after Litlith's shouting she said solemnly. "Is there anything we can do to help?"

[Aisling]

Lady Violetta quietly walked over to where Chasity was and placed a hand on her shoulder. She spoke mentally to Chasity.

"~I am coming into your mind to help you, Chasity..... You can trust me to help you with what ever it is in your mind that is causing you problems..... Ahhhhh mental demons and imps. Not very pretty imps at that. Now that I am here, I will help Chasity to contain you little creatures. ~

Lady Violetta made a bright cage and placed it in the middle of the room.

~Chasity, these creatures are of your own imagination. You can placed each one into the bright cage. All of them will fit inside so start pointing your magical finger at them and then direct them to the cage. I have placed a shield around us so that they can not harm us.~

[KindledBeast]

Dante arrived at the meditation class a few minutes late he quietly came in and chose a spot to sit so that he may start meditation, he started clearing his mind of everything intel it was void then. He walked into his mind it was odd he felt two sides to himself one Diabolical the other divine. He cleaned his mind and organized everything he noticed a small secrete area in his mind he labeled it "Chosen." Then got rid of the clutter on his way out of his mind he snapped his fingers and chains appeared around the door and in the center a large lock Dante had a Skelton key in his hands. Dante opened his eyes an exhaled this was a useful class.

[Yaneznayo]

Zack sat and tried to clear his mind. It was almost like the lady said, except instead of a door, it was a huge, singular room with everything scattered about. In addition... everything was MOVING. Entire stacks of the files would teleport from one end of the room to the next. Loose files flew as if blown by strong winds. This was going to take some time. He "summoned" a few filing cabinets and started organizing whatever he could grab in front of him into broad topics. Personal memories, general knowledge, physical skills, etc. It wasn't long before he'd completed the first stack... but there were countless more to go. At the very least, he didn't think he'd be bored here. He had too much to do.

[RpgKitten]

From inside her head Chastity heard Lady Violetta's voice come from all around her. She felt better knowing she wasn't alone. As she appeared next to her, the figure behind the throne stood up. It was a large Demon known as a Pit Fiend. He laughed a cruel and sinister laugh, he smiled a diabolic grin, as if he knew something they did not. He raised his hand and all the imps screamed as they turned to ash. "It's good to finally meet you, Lady VIoletta. The underworld is a buzz with the talk of this Galaxy. And lucky for me, Chastity here, was ever so kind to let me hitch a ride. Normally I would be confined to her mind, as I'm not allowed on earth, but here there is yet to be such rules. So Chastity, I shall be willing to void our contract together, for I am in such a good mood. I'll even leave this place in better condition than when I found it." All the things in the room started to organize themselves, as he just stood there smiling. "No." Chastity said after a few seconds of thinking about what he said, she had a defiant look on her face. His grin faded, to be replaced with a snarl. "Excuse me?" Chastity became a little fearful, but it was her fault he was here, that stupid thing they did, they hadn't believed anything had happened, they thought Demons and Devils were all just fiction, like magic. It was just some stupid initiation gimmick.

She couldn't just let him leave, so she took a breath and then said. "A contract is a two way deal, and I'm not letting you go. Torture me all you like, but you'll never leave this place." The demon narrowed his eyes, he then transformed into a handsome man in a business suit. He put on a charming smile and said to her. "Chastity baby, we can work out a deal here, I'm a lord from the hell dimension. I can do so much for you, money, fame, power, love, the eternal torment of your enemies, an army at your beck and call. Whatever strikes your fancy, I can get it, my dear. Don't you remember how much fun we had, the drugs, the alcohol, the freedom. Surely you remember how good it had been. Lady Violetta wants to keep you imprisoned, she won't even let you listen to the music we love most. We could leave together, explore this new galaxy side by side, leaving destruction in our wake." He was afraid, now that they knew he was here, they could confine him and keep his meddling to a minimum. Lady Violletta had more power than he could deal with while trapped in Chastity's body. She wouldn't be able to silence him completely, but he wouldn't even be able to manipulate Chastity like he had before. He needed Chastity to be on his side in this, otherwise he would be the one in a prison.

Chastity was getting mad at this demon, acting like he could just buy her compliance. "F**k you. You think I forgot about what happened after the drugs, alcohol, and 'Freedom'? You're an a*s, I used to be so much better, I thought I just turned rotten, but you helped, didn't you? Not that I'm excusing myself, I know I made a lot of bad decisions. But I always felt like there was something inside me always pulling me to take it one step farther. To do what others didn't want me to, killing that boy was the first time I felt like I went against that part of me. You wanted him to kill us all, didn't you? And that's when things started to change, I lost my friends and found my way here, which I'm starting to think might have been a good thing. So, I don't need you, demon, I'm better without your 'help'." She said with a passion. The demon shouted, "NO!!! I WILL NOT BE TRAPPED IN YOUR DESPICABLE BODY!" He thrust his hands in their direction and a gust of fire billowed towards them.

[Aisling]

Lady Violetta whispered softly as she stood behind Angela

"Stay firm and don't mind the fire or anything else that he throws at you. As long as I back you, you will be safe. We can not let him out of your mind yet. You need to command him into the cage with the others so that I can do my work."

Lady Violetta did not use mental speak because she did not want him into her mind. That would be disastrous not only for Chasity and herself but for the world in itself. She needed to keep everything tightly closed. There was a better solution to trap him but she did not have it with her at this time.
