Devoid of life, the journey begins.Amongst the crowds the white haired boy would look up to Muralia before entering. The single eye light in blue as if falling to blindness scouting over the entrance. Showing neither amusement nor dismay from the Academies appearance he casually walked through the doors as if it was simply another day. That is how it was, the letter came in, and the father pressed him into going. Having no ground, or will to stand against the decision, he set out to partake in this place with a good portion of the young soceity.
This place was an oddity to him when compared to his lands. Even from the beginning it had seemed people were taking a feel of pity when they took notice of him. Not a single shoulder would graze his, as they all seemed to veer away shortly before. Perhaps it was the distance between them. Not the physical standing, but in a more hypothetical way. The emotions, or lack thereof, that he gave off must be the reasoning they had to avoid a plausible conversation. Or, perhaps it was even pity for his eye, or the wounded look to his eyes as he contained the slight feeling that he was crushing the family pride simply by living. Either way, further pondering would only prove frivolous.
Furthering his advance to the table, the two teachers easily came into view. Largely because the boulder of a man that remained taller than a majority of the crowd even while sitting. Approaching the table, he pulled the letter from his pocket and extended it towards the male. From the looks, it must have been the unpopular choice from the students. However, if another teacher that pales in comparison of size could sit next to him, it either meant he was not the scariest guy in the school, or she was the teacher to be feared. Either way, the motions carried out without much of a conversation, and ended with a mild bow from Fenris. It was not that he was paying respects, or showing any hospitality. No, this was a simple physical motion that had become habit upon meeting elders for the first time. Such a simple, small motion that could perhaps make things slightly easier in the future, without a single thing backing it.
The similarities to a hotel were quiet surprising, though he would not show it. A counter handing out keys, and the small case that he drug behind himself only storing minor essentials. The only half luxurious thing he brought was the scimitar sheathed into a custom pocket on the side of the case. Compairing these similarities made it easier to cope without any major surprises. He silently walked amongst the halls, probably getting turned around in a spot or two, due to the note he was descending in room numbers.
Coming to Room 112, he unlocked the door, and lazily stepped inside taking only caution in closing the door. Not bothering to eye around for any evidence of his roommates appearance, he simply left his case against the middle of the furthest wall. Stepping towards the bathroom, he reached to the back of his head, undoing the bind that held on the eyepatch. Leaning over the sink towards the mirror, he looked over his face. Namely for any build up that was under the patch. Of course both eyes would share that lifeless color, only one being capable to function. The sharing of a mutual lack, neither seemed to grasp the world of life. Both constantly on the verge of tear, yet neither ever shedding a drop.
After a couple minutes of washing his face via sink, Fenris stepped back, wiping his face with one of the prestocked towels to dry. After which, he would pull back on the eyepatch, watching in the mirror as to not get in wrong. The metallic surface tied to cloth was meant to keep the bad eye in complete darkness, whilst protecting it. Silently grazing the metal with his fingers he turned away from the mirror and walked for the door. He had long since adapted to being blind in this way, as it had become a pattern for him to clean it at least three times daily.
Long past the room, Fenris could find himself walking the halls simply waiting. He didn't want to scout out classes, he didn't want to engage others in conversation, he just wanted to be what he was. That is of course, until one individual finally plows into him. His stance held firm for the most part, only his right leg falling back for the additional support. And just like that, they were gone, only a small whisk of red hair was seen before the target went out of view. It was pausibly the first encounter he had within the walls of Muralia with another student, however he paid it no extra mind. Instead he continued walking down the hall letting every thought of this disappear as quickly as it came.
But, just as quickly as it left, it would come yet again. This time however, the person would stop before him, her arm motions seemingly matching the gibberish she spewed. It took him a minute to actually collect what this small blue haired girl was saying before he could respond. Lazily pointing over his shoulder, the girl seemed to take heed and run off. This time, he actually watched for a mild second. Those lifeless eyes countering the lifely scene they had merely rested on.
Before long, an announcement would be made, giving him something mildly productive to do, along with a reason to do it.
"Attention, maggots. Report to the Auditorium immediately for an assembly. This is not a request, so get your asses over here or be expelled. You have 30 minutes. That is all." This 'rude' announcement was something that could easily coincide with Fenris's normal world. Something that would give him order, and a purpose without him having to make the decision himself. His own train of thought, was like that of a tool.
Soon, he would make his way to the auditorium, where an abundant amount of the students had already gathered. He took no time to look around, and instead took the first open seat he could manage to find. And as the assembly began, he sat as if some mindless drone. The uncaring eye holding no judgement on the pureblood on stage other than the fact that this man was head of council, and a decent man in his father's eyes. This event was rather basic, and halted pretty much any unnecessary emotions that would normally be present in these things.
The only mild surprise that came by was when his name was called to come forward. Fenris stood, walking towards the stage holding the face he carries everywhere. Just because it was a mild surprise did not mean he needed to be filled with emotion. No, he was told to do so, and he would do it, that was all these tasks ever needed. His gaze did not break to the other students as he climbed the stage and sat. Even when the girl came to join his side. Feena, Darius, Student council. These three would be a decent portion of his new Academy life it would seem.
With one last 'uplifted' outburst, everything came to a rap. Once again, such a simple order was given, and he would obey. Fenris stood to follow the speaker Darius as he was joined by a fox demon. From his positioning within the auditorium, most likely a guardian. That is right, this academy held all the ranks alike. And Fenris was plausibly the only pureblood short of a guardian for now. This was the result of prearranged guardianship under his race's pattern. Such a person had ceased to come thusfar, so he has been forced to come alone.
Andri Nav'iadar and Rei Lic'Tre
Somewhere within the halls stood a particular diverse duo. The more active girl moving to either side of her blue haired twin held the paper close as she tried to gather some sense of direction.
"You got lost already didn't you Andri?", The sister spoke, only gaining a response when Andri started marching off in a direction. Patiently following this vibrant girl, this sapphire eyed girl simply wathed the doors pass.
"Or is it you are just randomly exploring again, and keeping me from the map so we can't do what we need to?" Her voice remained rather indifferent, signifying this has happened before, as well she already acknowledged the fact that they had the random time to waste anyhow.
The force and speed of which Andri whirled around brought Rei to a quick stop, the huge grin spreading across her lips by her sister's question going unfaltered.
"May~be", come round this response, her twin couldn't help but proceed with the odd habit of tilting her head.
"Nothing's wrong with a little exploration, right?", her red hair would bounce as she tilted her head alongside with Rei's. Grabbing onto her sister's hand before moving on forward. Her head seemed to hold a little higher as she dragged about her sister, a small innocent smile coming to her lips as she led on. Rei in the back, stared at the backside of her sister, eyes nearly closed but a miniscule smile resting on her own.
Letting her sister have their own way for this short period, Rei would simply accept being pulled around. This could last a rough thirty minutes before she wanted to fall into the normal routine and get things done as they were supposed to be.
"Hey-Hey, Andri. I wonder if we will be roomed together at the Academy.", The question was both from her own curiosity and slightly out of manipulation. And as if by key, Andri would look to her sister with that small gleam in her eyes. Of course both of them wanted to be roomed together, it would be more than a bliss just to stay close together. Grinning shortly, Rei knew that she had already well caught her sister's attention,
"Shall we go find out then?"Filled with renewed invigoration, Andri pull Rei into a run, neglecting to look at the map. It was not that she was simply overlooking the fact that she could check the map for direction. No, Andri was rather talented when it came to remembering things she explored, and checking the map would simply be a stall.
"Hurry hurry!" Andri would laugh out, pulling harder as her sister began to fall behind.
"Andr~i.. Can't you slow down just a hair? You don't have to hurry that much.." Her breathes were obviously slightly off, she was not as used to running as her red counterpart. It was even slightly embarrassing to see those around taking a few random glances as they passed.
"Andri.. We have more than enough time.." It had seemed her own manipulation of Andri was shorter than her stamina capacity.
"Nope! I want to find out!"As the two continued to run Rei could only become heavier in breathe. That is probably at fault for Andri dragging them up to the second floor on her exploration route. But by the time they made it to the ground floor, she could feel the grip from Andri slowly breaking. Sure enough, Andri's hand would slip out and she would continue running forward. Her period of excitement to great for her to realize what had occurred. Then again, Rei could not blame her, as the thought of the two rooming together for years to come was extraordinary.
"Geez, you could have left me the map Andri!" The meek chuckle escaped her, knowing that she needed to chase after the energetic twin if she didn't want to be left behind.
Andri continued down the halls, not letting a mild shortness of breath stop her. She wanted to know that she would be the one rooming with her sister. To her, it would be more than a blessing if it could only be true. And with even the slightest possibly, she was driven forward. Even when her reckless running made her crash into someone, she quickly pushed herself around him to continue.
"Sorry!", She shouted behind her before rounding the next corner.
It was odd how often Andri's current thoughts and actions would contradict eachother. As of now her only mind set was how she wanted to remain close to Rei throughout the Academy. Sharing as many classes as possible, as well sharing the same dorm room. However, the fact that she just completely left the source of her thought behind, completely bypassed her set path. And due to the consistency of these ways, it was very rarely taken to heart by either party.
Upon entering the Lobby she finally slowed to a walking speed, digging through her small bag as quickly she could whilst approaching the table, often colliding with people also making their way to the two teachers. Stopping before them, it took her an additional few seconds to locate the letter and slam it on the table almost in triumph.
"I would also like to pick up the key for my sister Rei Lic'Tre!", The wide grin on her face as her eyes were closed didn't seem to phase the teacher's as they only put her room key on the table. Opening one of the ruby eyes she looked down at the key, slightly confused.
"Um.. And the key for my sister?" It was the mountainous man that chose to talk, "Only if you have her acceptance letter." Andri took a short glance to her bag, knowing full well she did not have the sister's papers.
"Plea-" "No." She was cut off, the small rejection making her nab up the key and turn away.
Rubbing her head at the thought of being ditched yet again by Andri's latest source of excitement, Rei took a moment before continueing her flawed spring after the firey twin. And it was not long after until she pretty much lost sight of her completely. Breath worn, she would stop before a white haired individual. The fact that he was wearing an eyepatch, and stood shirtless was more than an oddity to her. But, continueing with her mission, breathe worn as she may be, she attempted to find out if he spotted her sister.
"Have you seen my sister." She tried to speak clearly, but the heavy breathes from running seemed to be distorting her words into something slightly less than understandable. Going through hand motions, first she started with holding one at her height, the grabbing her hair and splitting it into twin tails, meanwhile keeping to short words.
"Short, Red, a little too energetic?!" Even through her own mind this was a rather horrible way to ask somebody about another. But, it did somehow seem to pull through as they pointed over there shoulder.
"So she did come this way.." Not paying any respects, Rei ran around the guy to once again chase after Andri. Only slowing her pace when she had come to what seemed the main lobby. She had to be somewhere in there, and with this many people it was pointless to run frantically to try and find her. Choosing to move closer to the tables, she found better luck. Andri stood against the wall behind the tables, both cheeks puffed outwards as she feigned an attitude. With another small laugh escaping her, Rei chose to side by Andri before getting her room key.
"So..What is my lucky draw number, Andri?"
Andri Nav'iadar and Rei Lic'Tre
Andri, hearing her sister's voice looks up, a wide grin taking place of her small pout.
"109, Come come! " Already revitalized, she started dragging Rei yet again, this time to the front of the table and through a few people.
"See! My sister! Rei!" She was obviously directing this to the rather large man, annoyed from earlier that she could not recieve the key. With a roll of eyes, the man took the acceptance letter from Rei and tossed the key down on the table. In turn, both of the twins stared down at the key, then at eachother.
"103", She spoke, both twins continueing their stare for a moment.
"What is this!?", Andri turned and smacked the table as if to create a scene.
"Me and Rei are meant to be-" As the man stood, both could only watch as the size difference drastically changed.
"I thought he was going to eat me!!", Andri whined a good several minutes later, after both ran for their dear lives.Rei, resting her head on her shaking sister's was in a moment of thought. There rooms were not even all that close together. It would seems as if the Academy had different plans for them already.
"You shouldn't angry big people Andri. Remember, we are misfits. We need to at least be in our areas to even try to match them.""Attention, maggots. Report to the Auditorium immediately for an assembly. This is not a request, so get your asses over here or be expelled. You have 30 minutes. That is all."The two looked towards the intercom closest to their postition. Neither particularly caring to take note of it's harsh ways. This was the Council leader, a Demon. It was more them common for them to be addressed in this way by higher ranking demons.
"I guess we should go, huh?"The two sat side by side during the assembly, remaining quiet as both thought about the fact they were not paired in a room. Of course they understood it was a long shot in the first place, but the fact that they let their hopes grow even the slightest amount seemed like a flaw. Their hands remained clasped together throughout the seating, neither one really looking at the other. It was mutual, they were both embarrassed as well annoyed that their hopes raised just to get shot down. Both were probably slightly hurting by this, knowing that they would be seperated during the night, as well most likely during the day. As well, as similar as they were, they did have minor differences that may even split them apart in extra curricular activities.
This short moment of sorrow seemed to end rather abrubtly as Andri stood in her seat.
"Raaar!?", She would scream, making very little sense at all. It was probably from the outburst on stage, as well the sister trying to cover up her own deeper emotions. Either way, it seemed to succeed when Rei started with a giggle fit.
"What was that Andri?" She turned to look at her sister, who only held a smile.
"It was exciting, so I said Raar. Come on, you do it too!" Pulling Rei up along with her, she again shouted out
"Raaa!?". Despite the fact a few people were already piling out of the room to go to their designated position.
"Come on, we aren't leaving until you do it too!"It was obvious that Andri had deeper meaning that just being random. She knew that Rei was uncomfortable and wanted to break them both out of this mind set. Rei gently smiled, letting out a very quiet repitition of Andri before speaking again.
"Isn't this supposed to be embarrassing?". Andri didn't seem to care, rather she lurched Rei's arm upwards again.
"Louder! Go Raaaaa!?" Andri's wild smile was quickly breaking down Rei's barrier. And regrettably Rei did burst out
"R-Rawr!". The silence that followed was almost unbearable until Andri burst out laughing.
"Rawr? That is too cute Rei! Forbidden cute almost!". Turning mostly red, Rei quickly stood up.
"Shut up or I will leave you here!" And just as she said, she had started to walk away, though not breaking her hand away from Andri's grasp.
"Awww, don't leave me behind Rei!!", She whined playfully, tagging closely behind.
