Mythics University » Places

         "Bye, son! Have a great year!" his parents called out to him. Meanwhile, Link Burgess was dreading the year to come as his parents drove off in their red Volvo. Lucky pricks... he thought. Probably going to honeymoon it up while I'm gone...

Sighing while shifting the weight on his backpack, he readjusted his grip on his suitcase and walked into the enchanting castle. With gargoyles hanging everywhere and spectacular art etched into the architect of the building, it was exactly as people might expet it to be: a school for the magically gifted. Mythics University was considered the best of the best in magic schools, making Link wonder what qualified as an average magic school.

Entering the arch of a gateway, Link felt the lingering smell of new paint throughout the hallways. The lockers were ugly reminders of the modern age; they simply didn't belong in a building styled like this. The floors shown like new. Link was less impressed on the inside than his first impression on the outside.

"Hello, who are you?!" a crackly voice sounded. Link turned to look at whoever spoke behind him and realized that he had to look down at the dwarf. "Um, Link Burgess..." he replied, honestly.

"What species are you?"

"...demigod." he replied, unsure of who this person was or what she wanted.

"Welcome kid, here's your key," she answered back, practically throwing the keys at him, then moved on. She must do this a lot... he thought as he shrugged and moved along, finding the Dormitory. He looked for the room number that matched the number of his key and eventually came across his room. He sighed, preparing himself for his newlyfounded life, before entering.

It looked comfy enough. The carpet appeared to be made out of something foreign. Otherwise, it was what you'd find in a classic guest room. He flung his bag onto his bed, noticing the white strip of paper that layed there. Picking it up, he saw that it showed his schedule, mainly combat classes. He'd gotten everything he wanted. He placed the paper next to his suitcase before leaving the room. Despite it's vastness, he felt awkwardly claustrophobic.

He went to the lunchroom, consiting of two sides, vegetarian and carnivore. Why wasn't there an omnivore side of anything? he contemplated as he headed for the carnivore line first. Most of the food made him turn his head in disgust, but he'd managed to find a turkey drumstick and a shish kabob. He then proceeded to the vegetarian line where he got a salad as a side to his meal before sitting down and enjoying a quiet lunch.

The announcement came over the speakers. There were groans and cheers and Link was a cross in between. He was curious and yet not curious at the same time. But he tried to show enthusiasm as he watched the teachers introduce themselves, not caring about most of them, as he would probably never meet them anyway...
