Slowly and deliberatly, Chrys takes his time trying to interpret the restless arrow on the magical scroll. Every step he took it seemed like the arrow would always move to another position.

Standing still, he dropped his arms to his side and noticed the girl with wolves slip inside with meekness. The wolves followed her easily, even though they were almost twice the size of her they stepped with decision. She had a power with the way she walked but seemed that she wasnt too sure of herself.

"Hey... Hey there?" Chrys was startled by a small voice that belonged to a short redhead human. His eyes focused on the being and his form was skinnier than most. He had a pointy chin, short spiky red hair, and skinny elbows that seemed to stick out. "I'm Jeeter. You can call me Jeet." The boy quipped.

"Ah, I'm Chrys. Nice to meet you." Chrys blinked in surprise at the speed the boy talked with. Jeeter flicked a finger and out of no where 2 birds flew down carrying a bag of crackers. He ripped into it and offered the bag to Chrysanthos. "Want some?"

Animal maipulation. Convienient. He seems small and smart I would have thought it to be Air manipulation. Chrys warily took some of the peace offering. "Thanks man. I still need to hone in my skills not gonna lie."

With that, Chrys thought about his connection to the ground and in front of him in a small circle grew a small patch of clovers.

Jeeter leaned down to touch them and instantly they grew mouths and began to snap at his fingers. "Oh shit! Thats kind of dope man!"

Chrys nodded. Little did Jeeter know, it was only clovers he could manipulate to become somewhat dangerous. Nothing else could grow a mouth at this point in his training.

"Cmon, lets show you inside. We got a room to share and I'm getting the bottom bunk."

Chrys turned and followed Jeeter inside as the group continued making training matches and slowly started to dissapate.

Chrysanthos: After getting settled into his bunk, he had spoken with Jeeter for a while, learning that Storm Coast was in Truhan and all meaning that he needed to act on his best behavior being around kin of higher demeanor. Chrys began to wander the halls, taking note of the gorgeous scenery, almost every wall seemed to be intricately designed with careful handiwork so much so that the walls seemed to move when glanced at.

Chrysanthos made his way to the main hall with the guidance of Jeeter. They both made their way inside, taking a corner to liking with a shrug of their shoulders, the boys agreed to stay where they were.

For some reason, today more than normal, Chrys was feeling energetic but weak. The normal energy he could pull from did not feel present around Jeeter and it made him feel lesser than that of his peers.

Standing in the Main Hall awaiting the next command for training for Elves and Humans alike, Chrys noticed the girl with the wolves. She seemed to spark something in him. He felt powerless but looking at her seemed to give him a spark of hope. She always seemed to clear the room being that Humans disliked the wolves by her side. Chrys thought it to be very sexy. She was able to walk side by side with such powerful creatures so that everyone around her had to take steps back. Her demeanor was very kept and she seemed to keep by herself. He made sure to try and maintain a strong line of eye contact with the beautiful girl with a slender body. It seemed like she would notice and shy away, which would contradict the fact of the beautiful creatures at her side.

"ATTENTION" Organized clapping was heard from a small orc-like woman with a purple dress and lots of peircings from the center of the room.

"I am Magdalaine Defauw. NO need to remember my name i can go by MADAME. My whole job is to get you ..... CHILDREN into order for training before the Association tries to test us and make ME seem like a fool."

Magdalaine seemed severly stressed out to Chrys, being that she was an orc she seemed to have a lot on her plate trying to help in a wizarding school. But, Nonetheless, it was a Scholar figure and he knew he needed to listen. Magdalaine began to drawl on about the importance of elves and humans coming together and Chrys began to tune out, focusing on the slender girl with the wolves. Mental note: I need to talk to her. Shes such an enthralling figure. He couldnt conatin the feelings he had while looking at her and began vigorously tapping his left foot.

Jeeter moved in towards Chrys's ear, "Man i can feel your stare just by looking at you. That's Ruina, she is a prodigy over here, butttt she just cant seem to unlock herself. I know she has those wolves but dont get close she doesnt seem to like people."

Chrys felt a pang of sympathy. He was an esteemed prodigy among elves, but among humans? Thats a different story. Proving himself to Ruina was going to be a task.

Chrysanthos: His eyes followed the young girl trod without care to the door and exit the room as Defauw gave instructions. Ruina seemed to not care about anything going on... ever. Maybe shes just a rebellious kid. I feel like if I couldnt show my full potential I would try my hardest to succeed. Chrys rolled his eyes to himself. What use was this little sermon by Defauw anyways? He turned to Jeeter, slightly hunched over in the mass of students, "dont follow me."

"Okay man. I'll keep you updated though. This seems important."

Shuffling through the last few students, Chrys made it outside the heavy double doors.

**************************

The hallway was decently tall, maybe around 8ft. Some tall lizardfolk would have to bend down around the openings due to the intricate arches that were decorated with the schools emblem. Small candles lined the upper walls held by simple brass pillars attatched by what looked like magical rope with a purple glow.

Chrys hoped he could find Ruina, there was a feeling that he needed to get closer to her for. He had no clue what he would say when he found her, but maybe play it off like he needed to find the restroom.

Turning corners and ultimately walking aimlessly, he had no clue where she had gone. Glancing around the corridor, he saw a room without a door. Just a single frame, the room seemed to be dark inside, shrouded by a black mist. There were 2 different voices Chrys could hear. He stood afar, hopefully to not be seen from a vantage point inside in case the shroud was one way vision.

Voice 1: ...glad Defauw has the students in the conference room, we can deduct it shouldnt be any of them.

Voice 2: I just cannot begin to understand how we would find a dead body on the campus of our school. This is unsettling. Have we had a cleaning gremlin come pick it up yet?

Voice 1: Yes, Mimi the head of staff organized a cleaning crew to pickup all evidence as well. She even reported to me there was a large pouch of gold still attatched to the human who passed.

Chrys was startled. A dead human body on the campus grounds? Nonetheless, it seemed like they havent identified it yet so it couldnt have been a student's lifeless form. There was a murderer loose and it definately wasnt safe to be roaming around solo. He was pretty sure the female voice had to be the headmaster, yet he couldn't place an acknowledgement on the male one.

Voice 2/ Milano: I will keep this information on a tight leash, thank you Jarim. Whether or not we take this to the king we should discuss later.

Papers were heard rustling and the black shroud vanished. Milano let out a gasp of surprise, "In my haste I forgot to put the silence spell up." She quickly peeked around the edges of the door frame.

Chrys sunk back behind a corner and started to walk in the opposite way.

Making distance between the administrators, he found another door slightly open and saw a swish of a furry tail. Finally, there were Ruina's wolves, if he found them, he found Ruina.

Chrysanthos: Pushing the door fully open to reveal Ruina with hair up and practicing her sparring, Chrysanthos warily padded into the room passing her wolves who were cautious to this newcomer.

"Hey, uh you look like your training really hard. Sorry to interrupt, uhm, this is a really busy first day. Do you know where the bathroom might be?"

He finished the sentence with a smile to not come off as weird being it just the two of them in the training room together who both seemingly snuck out during an information meeting. Glancing around the room he noticed her infatuating blade. It was quite the piece of metalwork. Being made of steel and having such a sharp blade certainly brought attention to the weapon.

This chick sure can do some work with a sword. Maybe its her compensation for being powerless. He thought to himself while midlessly staring at the blade waiting for a response from the sweaty human.
