Dante opened his eyes slowly as the taxi he was riding in came to a halt. He looked out the window and at the sun streaming in, it seemed almost blinding right now. The taxi driver was talking; probably worried that he couldn’t get out of his seat or something from being too weak. He cut off his power, feeling the draining of his power stop and he felt his body return to the way it was, strong and lean. He opened the door and stepped out, placing more than enough money for the ride on seat for the driver. He stood and stretched his muscles, feeling everything give a slight ache as though they hadn’t moved in ages. In reality he’d only been draining himself for only thirty minutes or so. He’d built up a very good stockpile of power but he always made sure to add to it when he could, even though it had been over three years since he’d been forced to use any of it.

Dante slung his bag over his shoulder and put his violin case under his arm as he walked into the school. His other things would have been sent ahead of him and put in the dorms, probably not unpacked for him but there none the less. He kept the violin with him at all times, he could play a number of instruments but few were compact enough to carry while still be elegant to play. He looked around, letting his eyes take in every detail as he sought out his friends, his old comrades and colleagues. He’d kept in touch as best he could be he couldn’t help but be eager to see them again. Hopefully they wouldn’t be trying to kill each other this time.

He moved forward with a bit of a swagger to his step, his head held level and easy. He wasn’t too cocky but he was more than aware that he wasn’t dirt, not to say anyone else was. He let his eyes take in every part of the building, it had been years since he’d been here and he’d finally returned. His travels had taken him to a lot of places but few felt as at home as this school did. As he moved he noticed more than a few girls turn his way and he couldn’t help but give them a little wink in reply. He couldn’t help himself, he didn’t try to flirt it just sort of….happened. Dante put his hand on the doors to the school and with a small smile pulled them open as he took his first steps inside, into the belly of his old home and his new one.

He hadn’t taken more than a step inside when he felt it, the pulling on his heart and soul. He couldn’t help but smile as he turned away from his intended route and let the pulling guide him. He could hear the singing ever so faintly as he made his way towards the bleachers. It stopped rather suddenly and he spotted three of the girls, he could identify one from the singing and the other one from the way she stared out at the guys, that had to be Kayla, the last one was a little harder since he couldn't see enough of her. He called upon a little of his built up sight and looked closer, with a smile he pegged her as Fia. He started to walk slowly towards them as he unslung his violin and started to play a slow soft melody. It wasn’t as magical as what Kerli did but it was still something at least.
