Morning light woke Damascus from her slumber. She blinked several times against the bright rays before forcing herself to straighten. She stretched her arms up towards the sky, back arching like a cat's. Oh, how... awful mornings were. Why couldn't it always be night? Ever since she could remember, Damascus had always had an odd attraction to the night. Perhaps it was because of the stars. She enjoyed watching them as they winked down at her between the sweeping clouds. Anyway, daytime called for the work she didn't enjoy - school.

A light frown upon her lips, the brunette turned and swung her legs over the branch. With a skilled jump she landed to the ground in a crouch, hands on the ground to steady herself. Her sweeping violet gaze raked through the underbrush and grass before she straightened and stretched once more. "Shall I skip today?" she thought alloud as she strolled casually back to the path. As always, she was closer to the Night Dormatory than anywhere else. "I'm already ahead of the work. Really, it's as if I already learned this."
