Setting
She ran inside, but hatled. Her jaw dropped. Gargoyles hung up along the walls, fresh marble flooring tiles, metallic lockers, and the fresh smells of new paint! She strutted to the office. A grody dwarf with glasses sat in a chair. "Hello, who are you?!?" shrieked the dwarf. "Arlene.. Arlene Brine.." stuttered Arlene. "And what creature are yah?" "Werewolf mam." she mummbled, uneasily. "Welcome kid, here's your key," the dwarf rudely threw the keys at her. "Thanks.." mummbled Arlene, agrivated. She walked down the hall and looked at a school map pinned to a wall. "Turn right.." she mummbled to herself. She walked to the Dormitory Hall. Once she found her dormitory, she unlocked it and went inside.
Inside was unicorn mane carpet, a stone, twin bed, a torch, a translucent window, a spruce wood desk, and a mini oak wood table. Arlene sat on her bed. She felt a crunch when she lied back. Sitting back up, and indentifying the object, she saw it was some note. Arlene opened it up. It was her scheduel. After she read through it, she headed to the chow hall. Arlene was free for the first day of school, so she could get packed and situated. Arlene saw a full buffet, one side vegetarian, and one side carnivore. Arlene went to the carnivore side, and loaded loads of food on her plate. She then pigged out. Right when she was putting her plate away, the announcement speaker turned on. "Attention.. Attention, all students and teachers please come to the gym for a presentation." it shouted. Suddenly, there was a wave of students filling the halls. "Excuse me.. Ouch, Hey! " shouted Arlene, squeezing through the croud. After what seemed hours, she finally reached the bleachers.
The principal and the other school staff climbed up to the podium. "We have gathered everyones attention, to notify everyone." The principal said. He handed the microphone to a scrawny woman, with auburn hair and dark, Basil colored eyes. She had a high, squeeky voice. "Hello, I am proffesor Pamola. I will be teaching Herbology.." One by one, teachers came up and explained what they taught.
Crossing down a hallway, Tariq marveled at all the decorations when he finally made it to what he assumed was the dean's office. "Hello, my name is--" He tried greeting the woman at the desk when she interrupted him.
"AND WHO ARE YOU?!" The dwarf yelled.
Undaunted, Tariq continued. "As I was trying to tell you, my name is Tariq Naji. And what is your--"
Again, he had been interrupted. "What creature are yah?"
"A-A Djinn. Ma'am. Djinn human mix really. Funny story--"
"Welcome kid. Here's ya' key." Replied the dwarf flatly as she threw the key at Tariq. The djinn thanked her, though whether or not she even heard him was questionable, so he simply went on his way. He looked down at his key. "Room 1345...." Using the map, Tariq somehow made it to his dorm room, though it took him a good long while. The campus was huge. He settled into the comfy room and unpacked his things when he heard the speakers boom, telling all students to get to the gym. "Aww..." Tariq groaned. "Orientation..."
As Luther approached the door, the little dwarf woman started to yell at him. "What's your name!?" She demanded in a less than friendly tone. Luther flinched at her voice. The woman didn't seem to notice how nervous and uncomfortable he was, so again she yelled "Who are you!?"
Luther cleared his throat, gulping down the lump that had formed at the back of his mouth and tried to form the words of his name. The first time it didn't work, so he cleared his throat louder and coughed out; "Luther Hailwing," before the woman was able to yell again.
"What species?!" She demanded. "What type of creature are you!?" Luther froze, his body tense. He wasn't used to being asked questions, as his guardian never really said much of anything to him and he had zero friends.
"I-I'm a werewolf, ma'am," He states with little volume to his low, agonized voice. The dwarf woman tossed him a key, which he caught with incredible speed. "GO!" she demanded when he just stood there. Luther scampered up to his room, looking around before collapsing to the bed. His body ached, and all he wanted to do was sleep.
The world seemed against him today, as just as his head hit the pillow and his eyes closed, there was an announcement for all students to report to some sort of orientation. Great, Luther thought to himself. Just what I need. To be surrounded by bodies who can see and feel my pain... Luther hadn't even unpacked anything yet, though he didn't have much.
As Luther climbed out of the comfortable bed (he really did just want to sleep) and stepped into the hallway, he was bumped into by a fellow student. The bump, though nothing to the other student, sent searing pain through his entire left arm. Luther let out a low growl, but continued to walk as if nothing had happened.
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...
