Introduction
The Tyrillia Academy
Might I just add before I start that this roleplay is not based but I did get some ideas from the roleplay Muralia Academy. A great roleplay very organized so I took example on their organization. Thank you very much to X64
Dear Mr. Ms. . . .
You have been called/accepted into the Tyrillia Academy, you and your Bond. A car and a chaperone will come to retrieve you in a few days to bring you to our internship academy where you will learn everything you need to know.
We hope you will enjoy your time here at Tyrillia Academy.
Sincerely,
Your Head Master
Introduction ::
In the world of Mythill things are very similar to Earth; there are humans, politics, economics, singers, dancers, translators. . . everything plus one thing that Earth calls myths. Mythill has Bonds, on Earth they are known as mythical creatures that do not exist, but on Mythill these creatures are born when you are and they hold a part of your soul, they can speak and they are your protectors as you are theirs. They are you and you are them, you complete each other but sometimes you don't get along. . . but you will always need you Bond.
As a child, it is when you start to connect with them and build your companionship into something stronger than friendship, but you also have school and at school you don't have only the basic classes. there is also combat, survival and every once in a while. . . Trials. You are not forced to take place in the Trials but if you enter them you can be sure to have a better future and more friends. The Trial subject is announced two weeks before it takes place and in those two weeks the people who wish to take place write their name on the inscription paper.
There is one rule you learn as a child; when you get hurt, your Bond feels it and when your Bond gets hurt, you feel it. The only thing that doesn't happen in common is your opinion (your bond might think differently from you) and death (you're bond will not die when you die and goes the same for you if he/she dies). But of course you shouldn't worry about that because the Third Great War ended years before you were born. . . (you will learn more of this in History class).
The Building ::
The school building is like a large castle with all different accommodations, bathroom, indoor/outdoor pool, gymnasiums (basketball, workout. . .), fields, computer room and etc. There is the main building where all classes take place and the dorms that are not separated by gender and there is also the cafeteria.
The building is near a lake where any water Bonds can stay and will always have access to the special tanks placed in the rooms for those who are bonded with them (this option is only available for those with marine Bonds).
Dorms are shared by two, girl girl, girl boy or boy boy. The Head Master chooses who is appointed into which room with who (usually appointed because of Bond needs) and roommates may only be changed if there is an absolute problem.
The Ranks ::
Here come the part that is quite unfair in Mythill, there are ranks and either you are born with them or you have to fight for them. The ranks are based on the persons wealth, family and past. . . if you make your way up the pyramid then you will definitely never fall back down unless the most unfortunate thing happens to you, you lose your friends, your money and everything that kept you up there. And if you are way down at the bottom of the pyramid, I suggest you start trying to make some rich friends because or else you aren't going to get any respect.
Blue Blood~ The Blue Bloods are the wealthiest and most respected people of all Mythill, there are very few families but when you see one you bow down and keep down. These people have money, family that goes back centuries into the past and they have a past filled only with glory and respect. Blue Bloods are most of the time born with majestic Bonds, like, dragons or griffins or hydras.
Noble~ Nobles hold a high place in society, not close to being Blue Bloods but they have wealth, a long family history and respected pasts. They are usually ministers, lawyers, vice presidents or presidents sometimes rock stars and their children are deemed to take the same path. Their Bonds are quite fantastic as well but sometimes have small pixies or fairies.
Commoner~ Commoners constituted almost 80 percent of the Mythill population, their jobs vary from fisherman to politician to scientific and they have simple wealth and history, a nice family and good friends. Their Bonds are usually typical fairies, spirits, lake monsters, and occasionally, small dragons.
Misfits~ Misfits have lived in poverty, most are orphans that end up as waiter of the rest of their lives, no one respects them and they have a very hard time at school making friends and even when they get older. Most of the time their Bonds are small demons or spirits, and only sometimes do Misfits have a very impressive Bond. . . but they are still rejected.
The Schedule ::
Pretty much; Special Bonds Class in the morning and Sports class in the afternoon and then your exhausted and go to bed. If you want to know more about the regular history of Tyrillia, you can go see the Basic Learning Teacher.
On week ends, you can go home or you can stay at school.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 17 authors
Maya was weaving through the forest when she her left eye went blind, and when she took to the air to see what was going on, she saw Quetzal get stabbed by Luca, and charged towards him to make sure he was safe.
Quetzal, who saw the cyrophoenix, flew towards Maya and coiled around her in time to stop the icicles from hitting her, the frozen spears piercing his hide. Maya felt this and immediately crawled out of his coils, raising her hands.
"STOP! PLEASE! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, JUST STOP HARMING HIM!" Her voice had done a total 180, having gone from a mocking, playful tone to a girl who was scared for the one thing that actually didn't hate her all the time.
Walker heard this and charged off on Brenna, the dire wolf missing by inches, dropped the false flag before he could hit Luca, and used most of his and Brenna's luck magic to make sure most of the icicles didn't hit Quetzal, but one pierced Maya through her stomach, and she collapsed and fell off of Quetzal, Walker catching her just before she hit the ground. He quickly laid her down and took out his first aid kit.
"Alright, this may sting a bit." He said as he gently pulled out the icicle, which, luckily, had missed her spine and her more important organs. Maya grunted in response.
"I guess you really do know how to get inside a girl!" She groaned, not liking the feeling of a hole where her kidney should be, and passed out. Walker turned to Snow.
"She'll live, but I need to get her somewhere sterile, this isn't any good out here." he said, tossing the real flag to Snow. "Take the flag, get it to Rue, but PLEASE send someone who can help!"

Luca M. Feygor
Quetzal’s rapid movement caused Blue Horror’s body to lurch, his demonic frame tightening like a coil as it forced itself to remain in place, even as the dragon swung its tail at him. Its hooded visage seemed to lock onto Quetzal’s, keeping direct contact as he did nothing more than raise his many arms against the serpent’s immeasurable force. The tail sent it flying backwards into the forest, crashing through numerous tree trunks in a shower of splinters.
Luca coughed out blood in reaction, the blow forcing the air out of his lungs as the dragon rounded on him.
"Your knife tickled. But I have some advice. When one is as old as human sacrifice, they learn what a blade feels like, and soon choose to ignore it. The mind also grows, and weak magic such as your Bond's loses it's strength. Make no doubt, he did some of his job, I am currently blind in my left eye, but he did little else. Also, you aimed for the wrong half of the Bond."
Luca replied with nothing but a mock smirk, “Is that all?”
Luca’s hand clutched his broken ribs, he was sweating with exhaustion but still he could only laugh despite the pain of each breath. A deep echo of cruel humour ushered from his tongue as he wiped the blood away from his lips. “He’s not really my bond you know, and the reason you can’t feel the knife is because I willed it, until now.”
Blue Horror re-emerged from the shadowed tree line suddenly, its bloody hood drawn back to reveal a massive head with an eyeless mouth, needle like teeth protruded from every surface as it lulled. It almost looked like it was smiling as its magic began to increase.
"Luca,"
Luce blinked; snapping awake like cold ice had been poured over him. He felt a endearing warmth crawling through his skin and craned his neck to investigate the source. Looking downwards, he noticed a pale hand clenched around his and followed the curves of the shining white hair to their origin. His eyes fell onto Rue’s distressed, almost pleading expression, her green eyes piercing him greater than the acute burning in his ribs then. A stunned silence fell over him in response and like a dying storm, Blue’s magic began to calm likewise. Pain flared through his chest again as Rue’s soft body was knocked against him by an overhead flag pole, causing him to stiffen helplessly as he realise she'd shielded him. The air temperature around them dropped simultaneously as Snow began using her powers in retaliation.
"I'm sorry Rue, i guess i'm more of a danger than any good to you," Luca grimaced.
"STOP! PLEASE! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, JUST STOP HARMING HIM!"
And then it was over. Heedless of the stinging agony he felt in his ribs and the fatigue all across his body, Luca staggered upwards, cradling Rue’s unconscious form. He looked around and spotted Walker hunched over Maya and the ominous dark liquid leaking from her stomach.
"She'll live, but I need to get her somewhere sterile, this isn't any good out here. The flag, get it to Rue, but PLEASE send someone who can help!"
Luca rolled his eyes, “Why do you think we wanted the flag so badly?” he chided, “Whatever, Blue’s still got power left. Pass her to him, he’ll teleport the injured to the infirmary. For now though, I just want to sleep…”

Erin Tyryl
He'd thought Rue was still sleeping, but when he saw Snow launch into the air, he knew she was awake and twisted to look to her. He was worried that she was pushing herself and that could be very dangerous. Erin's heart lurched forward as she pulled herself up using Luca and blocked a downward strike from Walker. She managed to hold on to it, though she dropped to her knees instantly and her usually bright green eyes were dull. With his chest tight, and still burning from the beating he'd taken with the behemoth, he started towards her. His eyes were locked on Walker, all thoughts on how he was going to knock the boy out.
Nemesis was faster, though. The dire wolf changed immediately and rushed the boy who was attacking Rue. Behind him he heard the other girl shouting in fear. Turning for a mere second, he witnessed Snow raining down icicles on her and her bond. Taking one to the stomach the black haired girl plummeted to the ground. Nemesis missed the boy who threw the pole at his sister and rushed for the girl who was falling.
Pure rage rolled through Erin as he watched the boy toss the real flag to Snow and yell for help. Unable to help it, he stalked up to the young man, not hearing Luca's words either. Ignoring his own wounds and probably cracked ribs, he grabbed Walker by the shirt, pulled him around to face him and drew back his fist. Knuckle collided with jaw and he shouted out in rage at Walker.
"What do you think my sister has had to endure this entire time?! She's wounded too you little..." Erin drew back again, but Nemesis knocked him to the side. Loosing his footing, Erin hit the ground, every limb shaking from his anger. The dire wolf hadn't reverted back to his smooth, sleek body, so he was twice the size he normally was. Turning, the wolf lowered his head and growled deeply at Walker, though he didn't make a move to attack. Nemesis was sure his threatening presence was enough to have the kid thinking twice.
Erin trembled, trying to calm himself as he looked to his sister in Luca's arms. She was unconscious, though he wasn't sure how bad it was. Then she stirred slightly, her green eyes cracking opened to look up at Luca. He sighed in relief, happy that she was still alive. She'd scared the living day lights out of him. Over head, Snow flew in a tight circle, keeping a watchful eye on Luca and Rue. Erin flopped onto his back and coughed heavily, tasting blood in his mouth. Both him and Nemesis had probably over done it a bit, but it couldn't have been helped. He was just glad everyone was still alive. Though he could probably do without Walker and the black haired girl at that moment.
"Yeah, I second that man," Erin commented on Luca's last bit about wanting to sleep. He closed his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh, "I guess now all we do is wait for our crazed sports teacher to come get us..."
Rue Tyryl
Walker threw the pole at her, but she didn't register it at all. Instead she toppled forward, her body loosing all strength. She was walking a fine line, a very dangerous line. She felt Snow release her hold on the energy she'd used, and in the distance she heard shouting. Then her body felt warm as someone picked her up. Her eyes cracked open slightly to see Luca's face grimacing at her. She tried to smile, but failed at it. Rue missed completely what he'd said to her as she slipped into darkness.
A little while after and she stirred again, feeling a bit of energy rush through her veins. It was like a jump start that startled her. Her heart beat was irregular and she was still very tired. Opening her eyes again, she felt herself cradled in someone's arms. Once more she was met by Luca's form. It looked as if he'd been talking, but she only caught the last part.
"I just want to sleep…"
She managed a smile then and reached up her free hand to touch his face, though her fingers just barely brushed him before losing strength again, "I do too. Can I..." her eyes drooped as she struggled to stay awake long enough, "... sleep... with... you...?"
Her hand dropped over her stomach and her eyes closed again. Her breath was shallow, but steady. Had she not received the small burst of energy, things probably wouldn't have gone downhill for her much more quickly.

Walker's Story
Walker stood up and spat out the blood from his mouth, wiping his mouth with a movement that emanated so much restraint and anger it could make even Blue Horror run in fear.
"I did only what was asked of me for the person who helped me out of a bad situation. A favor for a favor. I'm not going to respond to your sleight with retaliation, though, there's a life at stake here, and I'm not risking losing it over a bloody lip." He gently lifted Maya from the ground, wrapped her lower torso with bandages to staunch some of the bleeding, and carried her to Blue Horror, each movement done with the control of someone who's had to tend one too many broken enemies and friends in the back of an alley after a bad scuffle, his words to the Bond spoken with a force behind them that even Walker had never noticed before.
"Make sure she gets there in one piece, and no messing with her mind, or I swear on my mother's grave, I will make you of all the creatures that walk this planet fear my very name." Each word he spoke had no emotion save conviction behind it, as if the Walker from earlier had withered away into a husk, leaving one who would be fully capable of carrying out his threats behind. As soon as he was sure Maya was taken care of, he went over to Rue, shoving Nemesis out of the way as if Walker were his commanding officer in an army, and showing just as much regard. He then went to press his fingers to her neck for a pulse.
"She's there, just spent from using so much energy. Stable, too, I made sure of her recovery earlier. Let her rest and she'll be fine. I also recommend someone getting her a heat-pack or something else warm, the local temperature will put her into a hypothermic state if we're not quick. Rabies, Babur, get over here and put that fur of yours to use." He motioned to Nemesis, and Babur, then to Rue, to point out they needed to keep her warm while they waited for pickup. He then kneeled next to Rue to make sure she was going to remain stable.

"You're bitchy friend's life isn't any less important than my sisters!" Erin spat back, lurching forward from his position on the ground. If it was a fight the boy wanted, Erin would gladly give it. The idiot didn't scare him in the least, and his whole deal on doing a friend a favor was just a joke. "Don't try to act like you were helping. You put my sisters life in danger, ever thought about that? Then you go a smack her with a god damned pole!" Erin was shouting now. The boy had the audacity to try to act the hero when he in fact had added to the pressure and the life threatening situation to them all.
Erin snorted at the thought of the boy even trying to make his name feared, "Yeah, you're not getting anywhere with that." Erin would have continued the insults, but then Walker stalked passed Nemesis, hitting the wolf as he went, who hardly moved from the impact. In reaction, Nemesis unleashed a serious of loud growling barks and charged Walker as he reached for Rue. The boy barely laid a finger on her and announced that she was going to be alright. All of which, Erin didn't hear as blind rage washed over both him and his bond.
Walker knelt down next to his sister and Nemesis immediately put himself right between them, roughly knocking the boy backwards with his full body. Nemesis then turned and snapped his jaw in the direction of Babur, clearly stating that the lion was not welcomed near Rue either. The dire wolf had gone into over protective mode and would no longer let anyone near her or his human bond. The only ones seemingly alright to be near was Luca who was already holding Rue, and Suren whom Nemesis trusted. Erin stumbled as he got to his feet and started over to Luca and Rue. All the while Nemesis growled and snapped his jaw right in Walkers face. It took all of the dire wolfs utter control to keep himself from tearing the child apart limb from limb.
"Tell him, he touches her again, and I'll make sure he has no use for his hands anymore," Nemesis growled over their connection.
"Gladly," Erin's voice was deep as it rumbled past his clenched teeth. He sat down next to Luca and his sister, his cold eyes glinting with malicious intent, "Touch her again, and I won't stop him from tearing you apart. Stay away from her. I see you near her ever again, you won't live to see another day," Erin's threat was laced with acid, weighing heavily in the air.
Turning to Luca, he tried to keep the venom from his voice, "I hope you're thinking the same thing. Seem's like there's only one person here I can trust with my sisters life. I sure in hell won't trust someone whose two faced. Especially when it's more than clear that everyone's in danger," his eyes narrowed as he turned to direct the last part at the boy who was having Nemesis' jaw snapped right in his face again for good measure.
Looking away Erin noted the dark stain on his sisters shirt. Lifting it gently he looked at the wound that'd she'd relieved earlier. The cut was deep, a bloody mess as well and it looked as if Snow had tried to staunch the bleeding earlier, but to no avail now. Cursing, Erin took a portion of his shirt and tore at it, creating another piece of gauze to place over the wound. Removing Luca's tie, he put the make shift gauze down then replaced the tie over it to hold it there.
"Damn it all to hell..." he muttered.

Aslan Portegar
The wind was gone, Erin had made it through but there was also a girl standing next to the flag with her Bond who resembled very much a dragon and yet Aslan knew it wasn't. The girl decided to piss everyone off by taking the flag and turning capture the flag into a tag-you're-it game. Aslan didn't like the girl, she had no care in the world for the wounded and all she though about was playing around. Aslan was about to go after her when suddenly Aubrey jumped onto her Bond and flew off. There was a stern and cold expression in her eyes, he never thought he would ever see on Aubrey's face.
Aslan wanted to go and help but Luca moved first and Aslan could leave all of these wounded people behind with no protection. He glanced over at Amalthea who looked terrified so he decided to stick around instead of leave. The fight was starting to look bad for Luca and Aslan couldn't see Aubrey anywhere until she finally came out of no where. He was about to go see her when Rue moved and in a few moments something happened. The Quetzal go stabbed and Erin's dire wolf got the boy called Walker. The flag was retried by the white phoenix and all was well.
Aslan walked over to Aubrey, "Are you okay? How's Bren?"
They didn't look too good so he let her use him as support then he looked up at the sky and called out, "Alright Berach, we got the flag as well as wounded people, would you mind bringing the hover craft down?"
Berach Vullian
"The kids are good, but I am going to have many things to say to them," Berach said as he looked into the hidden video camera screens.
He called for a hover craft and then waited for them to return on campus grounds so that he could give them a lecture about what was bad, what was going to have to be improved and what was good. He got out of the video room and went out to the school fields waiting for the students to arrive.
Amalthea Oprah
She had been terrified during the whole thing until the very end. A stabbed Bond made her feel so much pain even through she wasn't linked to it. Cerberus had to stay close to her as she nibbled her nails. Amalthea wasn't used to so much violence. She knew all about being rejected because she was a Misfit but she had never been in a fight and had never seem blood before.
It was only when she heard the sound of a humming motor that she lifted her gaze to the sky and noticed the hover craft above their heads coming down. Cerberus was to be put in the crate bellow while she and the others climbed up a ladder to sit on the seat belt deprived seats of the hover craft.
Since Cerberus wasn't next to her she felt the need to calm herself so she started to sing a Tyrillian campfire song:

Beds of roses
Drops of rain
Sitting on a hill you are
Looking out at the blood red sky
Beds of roses
Cry drops of blood
Sitting on a mound of dirt
Staring at the fire
Drops of rain
Sitting on a hill you are
Looking out at the blood red sky
Beds of roses
Cry drops of blood
Sitting on a mound of dirt
Staring at the fire
Walker stood perfectly still, then, moving before anyone could have time to react, instantly slammed a punch into Erin's gut, then throwing him over his shoulder into the ground, his knife appearing from nowhere at Erin's neck so the slightest movement would nick something important. Brenna stood between the pair and Nemesis in Night-Mare form, pawing the ground as she stared down the dire-wolf. Walker glared into Erin's eyes, the fury inside unrelenting.
"Your sister does not have a gaping hole in her stomach. Like it or not, boyo, I'm the only one here who has actual medical experience, and the only one lucky enough to make sure things go well. If you want your sister to come out of this alive with everything in her skull the way it should be and not in a coma due to hypothermic shock, you'll have to trust me. Try to stop me, and I cut your Achilles tendon so you can't walk, and continue making sure she's safe. And as for the flag, I let go of it the second I heard Maya scream. Your sister blocked a piece of wood that would never have hit it's mark. Think about that for a bit, and then talk to me AFTER we make sure your sister is safe." He got up, and walked back over to Rue, taking his jacket off and using it as a makeshift blanket, ignoring the cold. He then went back to making sure she was stable, using some more of his bandages to patch up any wounds Erin had missed.
As he kept pace with his work, Brenna continuing to stare down Nemesis, with her sharp hooves and luck manipulation as the reason Nemesis shouldn't cross her, he began to have a flashback to one bad evening when he was younger with a very similar situation. One of the enemy gangs had been fighting in the restaurant with the gang his friends were in, and he'd had to tend to both friend and foe. Several of the other guys resisted his help in the beginning, but he'd been able to save most of them... There was the one kid, couldn't have been more than 13... He'd had a beer bottle smash his eye socket in, and he died while Walker had been working to save him due to hemorrage of the brain. The dead kid's face... the funeral... The people who swore his death because he couldn't save the kid... He'd promised himself he'd never let that happen again, not to anyone he saw.

Luca M. Feygor
Luca became startled as Rue’s fingers brushed softly against his cheek, causing him to gaze down at her small form with concern. Her peaceful face, although filled with signs of exhaustion, still glowed with a glossy sweetness under the moonlight.
“I do too.
Blinking, he almost did a double take, not entirely certain if he’d heard her mumble correctly or if he was just tired.
“Can I… sleep… with… you?”
Luca’s ordinarily colourless cheeks burned slightly as he blushed in surprise, uncertain how he should respond to her at first. But, as her delicate figure finally relaxed, her glowing eyes fading into rest, he couldn’t help smiling affectionately towards her, “Sure Rue. I promised I’d let you do whatever with me when this was over after all,” he said, leaning in gently besides her ear even though he was sure she couldn’t hear him.
Walker stepped towards them then and knelt down to check on Rue. Luca spotted Erin’s body convulse with anger and anxiety in reaction, his high cheekbones becoming ugly as the rage became evident for all to see. Luca could only tremble in the face of such relentless of determination. This was a man who’d single-handedly defended his sister since they were young, a man who’d fought a wild wolf and behemoth relentlessly in a single day. He was undoubtedly just as tired and more injured than Luca and still he defended her with such vigor. With its pitch black hair on end, Nemesis intercepted Walker and stepped between them with a dangerous growl.
Erin took the opportunity to sit next to them, uttering one final, seething warning before inspecting Rue like a precious jewel, "I hope you're thinking the same thing. Seem's like there's only one person here I can trust with my sisters life. I sure in hell won't trust someone who’s two faced. Especially when it's more than clear that everyone's in danger, damn it all to hell..." he said to him.
Luca exhaled deeply, wincing from the movement of his chest again as he let Erin re-apply the bandage. “My bond can transport her to the infirmary also,” Luca stated clearly as he stood up straight, ignoring the next fight. He strode over to his seemingly impassive bond, its horrific maw hidden underneath the hood once more. Compared to the vitality it had displayed only recently, it almost seemed docile in comparison now, as if uncaring of the events surrounding it once more. Even Walker's threats had failed to break its simple reverie. He lay Rue into another set of arms and the demon’s hood shifted downwards in a simple nod before disappearing alongside with Maya and Rue.
There was no further time for conversation for the hovercraft buzzed into view then, ladders unfurling to greet them.

Walker sheathed his knife, and Brenna changed to rabbit form, hopping in his pack so he could walk to the ladder before he did, he stopped to speak to Luca.
"I guess I'm in your debt now. Call me if you ever need anything." He then climbed up and awaited whatever punishment he'd have to face.
(OoC: Shortpost is short, I know...)

Sai watced from the shadows to much of a wimp to to any thing but watch with Loki in her arms. She was not new to being allong while other were off doing thing with out her. " nothing new to get left behind, not being seen.. that is m life I gess " She muttered " well that Aslan .... I'm not sure about him, what do you think of him loki" He did not say a word because he was still a sleep " Loki how could you sleep at ta time like this " She fallowed behind slowly just keeping to her self tring not to get her self or any one else hurt.
Rue Tyryl
Her eyes slowly shifted open and what met her was a brightly light sky and the smell of cleaning supplies. Then she realized that she was no longer outside and that the sky above her was in fact a ceiling with a very bright fluorescent light. Her eyes focused then, and she took a deep breath feeling much more relaxed and energetic than before. Her fingers moved across her stomach and she looked down to see that her shirt had been changed out for a simple white short sleeve that exposed her pale skin. Around her stomach she felt a kind of tight pressure and lifted the shirt to see what it was.
Wrapped around her torso were bandages that were still white and crisp. Gingerly she touched the area where she'd received the deep gash from being dragged and winced only slightly at the dull ache that pulsed at the touch. Slowly she pushed herself up to look around. Her bed was situated right next to a window and across from her was another bed with another occupant. A girl with black hair who was sound asleep. Rue raised an eyebrow as she recognized that black hair and realized it was the girl who had caused a lot of trouble during their trek through the forest.
Looking around she also didn't see Luca or anyone else there with her. Throwing the covers back, she got off the bed in her jeans and socks and started walking towards the door. Her only thoughts were on finding her brother and Luca. Even if she just found one of them, she would be happy.
"Where are you going?" A soft voice asked. It was the nurse that had probably tended to her. Twisting around, Rue looked at the older woman and found it hard to speak. She opened and closed her mouth, her nerves twisting her stomach and clenching her throat.
"Luca," was all she managed and then opened the door to the infirmary and left as quickly as she could. Running was probably a bad idea as she could feel a slight pulling in her stomach. Obviously her wound had been stitched, so in order to not break the stitches or make things worse, she slowed her pace and walked quickly down the hall. She didn't even know where she was going, but she was determined to find someone who knew what happened to Luca and Erin. Even Snow wasn't with her and she was beginning to be fearful about what happened after she'd passed out.
"Luca... Where are you?"
Erin Tyryl
His arms were folded over his chest as the students were now in the presence of the insane sports teacher. At least, Erin thought he was insane. What kind of sport was that? The 'live or die' game? His irritation was clear and even more so in the presence of the boy named Walker. How he wanted to tear him apart and let him know just who was exactly the more deadly here. However, he pulled himself together and told himself that the kid wasn't worth his time and seeing as Rue was okay, he didn't need to fight anymore.
One thing was for certain though, Erin wasn't going to talk to the boy ever, and if at all possible, never set eyes on him again. A cough welled up in his chest and he quickly covered his mouth as it exploded and sent hot blood into his fingers. The fight with the behemoth had tore him up pretty good, but he wasn't too worried about it. Whatever wound he had would heal just fine, the blood was just left over from the fight. With that in mind, he just wiped his hand on his jeans, leaving a streak of crimson.
Leaning over, he got Luca's attention, "Your bond, is he with Rue? I'd like to see her once this guy gets done talking," he said jabbing a thumb over his shoulder at the sports teacher. Not to mention he was pretty tired and probably needed to have a check up with the nurse also. With a look at Luca, he determined that the taller boy needed a check up too. "You should get looked at too you know," Erin commented, then grinned, "Rue's taken quite the liking to you, wouldn't want you to be in anything less than perfect condition."
Next to him Nemesis laughed, his barking voice coughing like it always did. The huge wolf leaned heavily against Erin's thigh and flicked his ear towards him and Luca while the other kept turned the other way to listen to the teacher.

"STOP! PLEASE! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, JUST STOP HARMING HIM!"
The cry rang out from Maya, so different from her previous snideness. Aubrey struggled to swallow back bile, glaring at the other girl even as her eyes teared up again. So she can screw with us as much as she wants, but her flying snake gets a few cuts and boo hoo? Aubrey screamed inside her head, growing dizzy as she bit back the emotion that would fill her voice if she'd actually voiced her thoughts.
Bren felt the onslaught of her rage and fear, crowing to his rider in efforts to sooth her. A sigh turned into a grimace when her back throbbed when she tried to resettle her seat. Thankfully Aslan joined her just then, distracting her. "Are you okay? How's Bren?" His questions made her blink in surprise; he seemed genuinely curious about her condition, even though she'd failed miserably in her efforts to help and no one else seemed to notice her much. She bit her lip, thinking about a response. She could say 'fine', but it was too much of a lie. Everything hurt and she was worried for Bren.
"We're living," she murmured, watching the others. The hurt girl's brother (it was an obvious connection with their hair and looks) got into a fight with the boy that had returned with Maya. Rightly so, Aubrey agreed, turning her gaze to the flag that was finally given up, listening faintly as Aslan called to the sky for their teacher's help. Humming that seemed to fill up her ears and pound in her head (but it was probably just the headache, she mused) came with the relieving sight of the hovercraft. The boys were still fighting as a rope ladder unfurled. Aubrey eyes traveled up it's length, watching a girl already climb up. She wondered faintly if it was safer in the hovercraft or on the ground, but decided she might as well stay on the ground because surely she couldn't make it all the way up there.
Bren understood her considerations and took a few steps towards the rope ladder. Before Aubrey could even protest, her stubborn bond sent energy flowing into her body for the climb that should be a piece of cake. Aubrey glared at Bren and slipped off his back, managing to land on her feet but not managing to hold back a tiny whimper. Cheeks flushed lightly pink at the chance that someone might've heard her showing weakness, she hurried up and gripped the rope ladder in shaking hands, pulling herself slowly up. She almost lost her footing twice, but heaved herself gratefully into a seatbelt-less seat, but a seat nonetheless, careful to not lean against the back. Aubrey brought her legs up to her chest, rubbing at some dried blood as the others on the ground finished up whatever they'd been 'discussing'. The girl she'd watched climb up a few moments before started singing a song most everyone knew, and Aubrey found herself tapping a finger against her leg to the tune.

The cry rang out from Maya, so different from her previous snideness. Aubrey struggled to swallow back bile, glaring at the other girl even as her eyes teared up again. So she can screw with us as much as she wants, but her flying snake gets a few cuts and boo hoo? Aubrey screamed inside her head, growing dizzy as she bit back the emotion that would fill her voice if she'd actually voiced her thoughts.
Bren felt the onslaught of her rage and fear, crowing to his rider in efforts to sooth her. A sigh turned into a grimace when her back throbbed when she tried to resettle her seat. Thankfully Aslan joined her just then, distracting her. "Are you okay? How's Bren?" His questions made her blink in surprise; he seemed genuinely curious about her condition, even though she'd failed miserably in her efforts to help and no one else seemed to notice her much. She bit her lip, thinking about a response. She could say 'fine', but it was too much of a lie. Everything hurt and she was worried for Bren.
"We're living," she murmured, watching the others. The hurt girl's brother (it was an obvious connection with their hair and looks) got into a fight with the boy that had returned with Maya. Rightly so, Aubrey agreed, turning her gaze to the flag that was finally given up, listening faintly as Aslan called to the sky for their teacher's help. Humming that seemed to fill up her ears and pound in her head (but it was probably just the headache, she mused) came with the relieving sight of the hovercraft. The boys were still fighting as a rope ladder unfurled. Aubrey eyes traveled up it's length, watching a girl already climb up. She wondered faintly if it was safer in the hovercraft or on the ground, but decided she might as well stay on the ground because surely she couldn't make it all the way up there.
Bren understood her considerations and took a few steps towards the rope ladder. Before Aubrey could even protest, her stubborn bond sent energy flowing into her body for the climb that should be a piece of cake. Aubrey glared at Bren and slipped off his back, managing to land on her feet but not managing to hold back a tiny whimper. Cheeks flushed lightly pink at the chance that someone might've heard her showing weakness, she hurried up and gripped the rope ladder in shaking hands, pulling herself slowly up. She almost lost her footing twice, but heaved herself gratefully into a seatbelt-less seat, but a seat nonetheless, careful to not lean against the back. Aubrey brought her legs up to her chest, rubbing at some dried blood as the others on the ground finished up whatever they'd been 'discussing'. The girl she'd watched climb up a few moments before started singing a song most everyone knew, and Aubrey found herself tapping a finger against her leg to the tune.

Blue Horror
"Luca... Where are you?"
Blue seemed to be chuckling, although one could never be too sure thanks to the impossible anatomy of the demon. The blue bond hovered forwards out of the shadows it had been hiding in, and casually moved besides Rue. Its presence, as ever, felt unnatural in every way, even its red robes flickered behind it as if there was some invisible draft passing through the enclosed hallways. At first it made no attempt to stop or assist her, seemingly content with watching her struggles.
“That boy informed me to watch over you,” Blue commented after a while, although the demon's phrasing made it sound as if he was making a passing comment. “Why not wait for their return?”
Luca M. Feygor
"I guess I'm in your debt now. Call me if you ever need anything."
Luca offered Walker a placid smile, raising an eyebrow in return to his comment. “I didn’t do it to earn favours so forget about it.” He gave a nonchalant wave before he climbing up the ladder. It was a simple truth that he still felt a lingering regret for creating the whole situation, even if the end result had followed his original intentions. He'd certainly hadn't wanted to involve Rue either.
The return trip had been refreshingly peaceful and Luca had almost drifted asleep from sheer fatigue. The only thing which had kept him awake was his own unabated concern for Rue's injuries. He was startled then when he heard Erin's voice.
"Your bond, is he with Rue? I'd like to see her once this guy gets done talking,"
Luca’s hand was curled over his chest, still nursing the wound causing him pain every time he breathed in. He wasn’t sure if he’d broken or fractured them but the important thing was to keep taking full breaths, shallow breaths would only result in a chest infection. Still, he silently cursed the name of his bond and its cruelty for purposely taking the blow. His weary eyes met Erin’s, half smirking with a sense of admiration at the brother’s continued insistence to protect his sister.
"You should get looked at too you know, Rue's taken quite the liking to you, wouldn't want you to be in anything less than perfect condition." Erin suggested, clearly noticing his agitation as well. Luca shared a chuckle with Nemesis as he re-composed his facial features in an attempt to hide his pain, his laugh coming out in short rasps.
“Blue? He should be,” Luca nodded at first in confirmation before snorting out his cynicism, “And shouldn’t you be more concerned about yourself friend? Your carelessness nearly gave your sister a heart attack with the number of hits you took in comparison.”
His mood mellowed finally as he glanced in the direction of Snow, the bond’s pure white feathers prompting his concerns for Rue again. Rue was probably over stressing herself without the presence of her bond to comfort her. He only hoped she wouldn’t do anything rash in the time it took for them to get back.

Rue Tyryl
“That boy informed me to watch over you. Why not wait for their return?” The soft voice startled her as she turned to see Blue had followed her from the infirmary. Her heart jumped at the thought that Luca had ordered the bond to watch over her. Maybe there was a little more to his thoughts than just making her blush continually in his presence. If only she could do the same to him... then they'd be even. Her eyebrows came down with the thought on how she could possibly do that to the handsome boy.
"Blue, where is he? Is he alright? Please, take me to him," Rue said turning to look the demon bond straight on. Her eyes were hard with determination. She wasn't going to back down. "He's wounded, he needs to be seen by the nurses too. If you won't take me to him, I'll go myself," she stated firmly. Not to mention she knew that Erin was wounded as well. Her brother had taken quite the beating with all the fighting going on. Her worries were not just for Luca, but he was the forefront of her thoughts. All the while her eyes never looked away from Blue.
"He has a promise to keep," Rue stated. She remembered asking if she could sleep with him and her face seemed to heat up. Luca's earlier promise to her of letting her do what she wanted with him in payment for his kissing her without warning flooded her memory. She decided then that allowing her to sleep on him was sufficient payment. To her, he was breaking that promise and she was going to be sure to let him know that as well.
Erin Tyryl
“Blue? He should be. And shouldn’t you be more concerned about yourself friend? Your carelessness nearly gave your sister a heart attack with the number of hits you took in comparison.”
Erin bit his lip as he looked down at Nemesis who returned the look and pulled up his large shoulder in an attempt to mimic the human's way of shrugging. Turning he gave Luca a sideways glance before returning his gaze to the group of students. He was really thinking about just leaving the little assembly, besides, if anything he could pass it off as needing to see the nurse because of said injuries. Berach could scold him later after he'd slept for a day or two.
"Glad to hear that he's with her. I hope he'll keep her from doing anything crazy, she's like that you know. Once her minds set on something, there's no changing it. At least it's really difficult to change it."
Erin sighed then and continued to the next part of Luca's question, "Never been one to worry about myself, man. Just doesn't happen. I know I scared her, but I couldn't just do nothing either. Nemesis and I have fought a few times before, but... never something like that," his thoughts turned to fights between his father and the large gray dire wolf that was his dad's bond. Those fights had been terrible to say the least, but Erin and Nemesis had at least been on equal terms with his father. Turning he faced Luca with yet another grin, "Maybe I could learn a few things from ya hu? You're quite the fighter yourself," he commented remembering clearly the fight between the black haired girls bond and Luca. The boy had been a terrifying sight to see in action, only matched by his bond.

Berach Vullian
When all the students were on board and sitting Berach cleared his throat and made himself audible, "All of you except for Aslan, Amalthea, Aubrey and Luca understood the meaning of team work! This isn't a game, it only seems like one because if you get hurt someone comes to get you, but when you're in the midst of a true battle no one will come and save you so you better as hell work as a team!"
He could tell that some students didn't even care about what he was saying but they didn't see how dangerous the world was right now. After the Third War, incidents still occurred and some are still going on in places that are not so far from the school.
"Maya and Walker," Berach shouted out their names, "you two would be dead. Your Bonds would be dead. And the only thing you could tell yourself in you last seconds of breath would be 'I should have stayed with my team'. But I'm not saying that you kids have to stay together because your kids, soldiers do it too because they know that they don't stand a chance a lone!"
His words seemed to finally be getting to them, "All of you seem to think you're strong enough to do it on your own. You're not. No one is. Now all of you are going to the infirmary because you didn't work together, listen to each other and consider yourselves as a union force. If you had then you would be going to lunch a lot earlier. Tomorrow, we're going to be working on your team issues."
With that the hover craft left and nurses came to take the kids and bring them to the infirmary, the ones who weren't wounded went tot he cafeteria.

Blue Horror
"Blue, where is he? Is he alright? Please, take me to him. He's wounded, he needs to be seen by the nurses too. If you won't take me to him, I'll go myself. He has a promise to keep."
As Rue’s slew of questions bombarded him, Blue Horror’s entire body became motionless except for the uncomfortable shuddering of its hooded head. By the way the red veil surrounding its top gaped up and down one could imagine it giggling silently in spite of her apprehension. Giggling again as if the entire world could burn tomorrow and it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.
“You, Luca, Walker, so many of you humans act the same,” Blue Horror’s voice came from everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, bouncing within each corridor and pattering of the smooth masonry as if he existed in every wall. “Consider then young snowflake, what if I didn’t want you to meet him? How would you outrun something that could teleport?”
Luca M. Feygor
"Glad to hear that he's with her. I hope he'll keep her from doing anything crazy, she's like that you know. Once her minds set on something, there's no changing it. At least it's really difficult to change it."
Luca couldn’t help but frown towards Erin as the older boy seemed to bite the bottom of his lip in lament. He hadn’t anticipated him have taken his comment seriously. Still, he smiled earnestly as they both reflected on Rue’s tendency for rash behaviour, a short huff implying his shared agreement, “Oh he’s pretty good at that, so rest assured.”
"Never been one to worry about myself, man. Just doesn't happen. I know I scared her, but I couldn't just do nothing either. Nemesis and I have fought a few times before, but... never something like that," Erin paused after a moments thoughts before facing him with another grin, "Maybe I could learn a few things from ya huh? You're quite the fighter yourself,"
“You call that a fight?” Luca smiled thinly, uncertain if the senior had been joking or not. “You did well though, all things considered,” Luca looked around and caught Berach clearing his throat to get their attention. He then arched an eyebrow towards the teacher to direct Erin’s attention, “And here it comes.”
Berach’s reprimands consisted of a series of blunt observations optimised by the man’s harsh yet simple choice of words. Eyeing them all like an army staff sergeant, his muscular stature bristling with authority, he offered a final statement on teamwork, an ultimatum of what would result if they couldn’t get their act together before dismissing them all. Their transport landed then, hovering to the ground in an eloquent puff of dust as its humming engines settled to a standstill. Luca jumped off along with the rest, allowing himself to be tended to by the encroaching group of white uniforms.
“Hello there sir,” The first nurse to approach him introduced kindly, “How are your injuries?”
Straight to the point, “Pain around the ribs and difficulty breathing.” Luca stated. He rolled his neck back to regard Erin briefly, a small smirk appearing as he spoke, “I guess we best getting moving towards the infirmary, shall we then? Before Rue get herself into trouble again.”
"Blue, where is he? Is he alright? Please, take me to him. He's wounded, he needs to be seen by the nurses too. If you won't take me to him, I'll go myself. He has a promise to keep."

Rue Tyryl
“You, Luca, Walker, so many of you humans act the same. Consider then young snowflake, what if I didn’t want you to meet him? How would you outrun something that could teleport?”
Her heart nearly stopped at the bonds words. Her eyes widened and only then did she feel true fear in the presence of the demon. It wasn't his appearance that terrified her then, it was his words. He was obviously much more powerful than herself, and she being very small in comparison, had no chance of fighting the bond. She wouldn't fight it anyway because if she did manage to hurt it, the pain would transfer to Luca. Shocked into silence and unable to move a muscle she tried to comprehend what the demon meant exactly. Did he not wish her to see Luca at all? If that was it, than the next question was why?
Her eyes narrowed at the bond, trying to stem her fear and resolve her determination, "If you didn't want me to see him then you would have done something about it a long time ago, Blue. I'm going to see him and you'll have to find some place to lock me up before I'll ever be kept from him," she returned coldly and turned away from the bond to keep going down the hall. Her heart beat rapidly as her threat hung heavy in the air and over her shoulders. Icy cold fingers closed around her heart as she hoped dearly that the bond wouldn't take her words seriously and teleport her to some dark, creepy place with no way out.
Erin Tyryl
Erin returned Luca's small smile at his mention about learning how to fight from the boy. Then gave a small shrug as Luca complimented him on the fighting. Erin didn't think he'd done all that well, in fact, he was quite sure he could have done better, but at the time all he could think of was his sister and protecting those that he could. Rashional thoughts on how to take down the behemoth hadn't come to him. Then to add to it, the student who'd made things more difficult hand invoked his rage, making it harder to think and fight properly.
“And here it comes.”
Turning, Erin gave the sports teacher some of his attention. It was a berating, exactly what he expected from Berach. It wasn't the first time Erin had heard him yelling at students and telling them what they all did wrong. It was like that the year before. Of course, Erin's last experience hadn't been as harrowing as it was this last time. His arms crossed over his chest as he sighed heavily. Then they were allowed off the hovercraft and down onto the school grounds were they were met by a ton of people in white coats. Luca went with one and Erin with another.
"Anything broken, or hurting?" The elder man asked him, peering over glasses at Erin.
"My rib cage feels a little busted up, other than that, just achy all over," he answered shortly.
“I guess we best getting moving towards the infirmary, shall we then? Before Rue get herself into trouble again." Luca called with a smirk on his lips. Erin returned the look, laughing as he let the doctor lead the way towards the school and the infirmary. Though his laugh didn't last long as it hurt to do so and he quickly stemmed it, but his smile remained.
"Yeah, she's pretty damned good at that."

Walker's Story
Walker smiled at Luca.
"And I never give favors to people unless they've earned them." He said, and then listened to Berach. After Berach spoke, he stepped forward.
"Sir, with all due respect, we are not in a war zone. If we were, Maya would never have acted the way she had, rather using Quetzal's air control to create vacuums around her knife, which she would be using due to actual training with it, in order to make clean cuts that couldn't be mended while moving too fast for the opponent to catch. As for me, I was assisting in what WOULD have been a decoy maneuver in order to distract and delay from the final goal as repayment for being freed from the net I was stuck in. Perfect strategy does not mean perfect victory, and neither does teamwork. As for my own fate, I would have simply made myself and Brenna lucky to the point where a giant with a billboard couldn't have hit us if we were even on the frontlines, instead of acting as a medical unit, which I'm more capable of dealing with. Gym class is not war. I should know, I've been in too many to count.
Maya's Story
Maya snapped to consciousness in the infirmary, feeling her stomach to see if the hole was still there. The amount of pain she felt proved no, it was healed, and yes, it still needed time. She closed her eyes, and felt Quetzalcoatl's presence flying in from the lake. She then laid back in her bed, and relaxed herself to prevent straining herself, and blew a piece of paper off of a table nearby, and using a combination of wind and reaching a little bit to make a pencil roll towards her. Once both were attained, she started drawing out a picture of Quetzal in mid-flight, looking as if he was going to soar right out of the paper.
Walker smiled at Luca.

She then laid back in her bed, and relaxed herself to prevent straining herself, and blew a piece of paper off of a table nearby, and using a combination of wind and reaching a little bit to make a pencil roll towards her. Once both were attained, she started drawing out a picture of Quetzal in mid-flight, looking as if he was going to soar right out of the paper.
Blue Horror
"If you didn't want me to see him then you would have done something about it a long time ago, Blue. I'm going to see him and you'll have to find some place to lock me up before I'll ever be kept from him,"
The demon crossed a pair of its five arms over one another as its imposing figure leaned backwards, seemingly impressed by Rue’s show of resolve. Aware of its own height, it hovered back a step further, careful not to appear like it was glowering over her as it responded with an abruptly dismissive tone.
“Indeed. I was only asked to watch over you however. I never promised Luca to help or stall you. So should such an event come to pass the fault lies entirely upon your own,” Blue Horror stated as the silky cloth around its shoulders seemed to shrug impermissibly. One of its other hands reached into the many folds of its robe, as if fishing for some mystery item before it withdrew an ancient tome. Unfolding the rustic pages of the giant book, Blue Horror followed after her as she turned to continue on her pathway through the hallway, trailing several paces behind her like a silent shadow.
Luca M. Feygor
"Yeah, she's pretty damned good at that."
“Best bring Snow along too, I imagine she’ll be at a lost without her,” Luca concurred with a brisk nod as he allowed himself to be ferried back to into the building by a trio of nurses. The pristine walls of the academy hallways provided an unusually comforting panorama as they passed through them on their way back to the infirmary peacefully. Yet as they rounded a corner, his eyes widened as surprise crawled into his features. Just beyond wall he spotted the unmistakable shimmer of snow white hair and the imposing silhouette of thick robes.
Rue, dressed in a simple white short sleeve shirt and jeans, looked like she’d just gotten out of her bed. Without the presence of her lively bond she looked delicate almost, so small, so soft as to imitate the appearance of a doll. He noticed an air of anxiety and conviction lingering over her hardened green eyes as he stared down at her, his mouth opening slightly as he formed the words to his obvious question.
“Rue?! What are you doing out here? You should be resting,” He stammered, forgetting his injuries for a moment and striding over to assist her without thought, "Or, did you want revenge for what i did earlier so badly that you simply couldn't wait?” He said, a small grin forcing his lips to part.

Rue Tyryl
Blue did nothing to stop her, in fact he only said that he was asked to watch over her and that Luca never said anything about stopping or helping her. Rue realized that the bond had a way of getting out of things that was sure to be either useful or hindering depending on how you looked at it. So she walked down the hall with the demon hovering behind her, seemingly lost in it's own world as it read from a very old looking book.
She turned down a hallway, then another one. The further she went the more frustrated she got. It soon hit her that she'd somehow gotten herself lost. Her fingers pulled into fists as she wandered trying to find her way back. I hate this school.... hate this school.... all hell... where am I now?? She thought to herself as she walked. Her eyes flicked back to Blue and she had half a mind to ask him to take her back to the infirmary, but then she turned back around and kept walking. She wouldn't let the bond have the enjoyment of telling her 'I told you so'.
“Rue?! What are you doing out here?" Rue startled and turned around to the sound of Luca's deep voice. Her heart lurched in her throat. Somehow she'd managed to get back on track though to her, she still felt lost.
"You should be resting, or, did you want revenge for what i did earlier so badly that you simply couldn't wait?”
Her face lit up once again as she remembered his kiss. Her eyes widened slightly and she couldn't find her voice aside from a soft squeak of embarrassment that escaped her lips. Quickly, she pressed her lips together all the while trying to fight off the burning on her face. Her eyes shifted to her brother who only gave her a confused look with one eyebrow raised as he looked between Luca and herself. After a moment, her eyes narrowed at Luca and she felt irritated at him, damn him, how does he do this to me all the time?
"Because, he's that good at it. You haven't noticed yet? He enjoys making you like this," Snow's voice hummed to her as she came hurtling down the hall and whirled around her head.
"You're not helping," Rue hissed to her bond, though she was much happier to have the feathered bond by her side once more. Turning her attention back to Luca she put both her hands on her hip, wincing slightly as she accidentally hit her stitched side. Pulling as much resolve as she could muster, she looked at the taller boy straight in his gorgeous blue eyes that glittered with is amusement at her frustration.
"You have a promise to keep, so no, I couldn't wait," her face heated again as she realized the implications of her words. Oh the different ways he could take that. Her eyes widened slightly but she bit the inside of her cheek and continued, forcing her self to look angry at him, "You promised and I've already decided your punishment."
"Wait... what the hell am I missing here?" Erin asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Nothing, brother!" Rue nearly shouted, her hands clenching tightly around her hips as she refused to look at the older boy.
"You're going to let me sleep with you because I'm tired and it's the least you can do in return. I'll be using you as my pillow. But don't think you're punishment ends there," she stated firmly.
"Hey, hey... Wait a minute..." Erin stuttered as he stared wide eyed at his sister. She turned her cold eyes on him and he raised his hands in defense then finally sighed heavily, "Damn having a sister with the same attitude as I do..." he cursed. His hand pressed against his forehead as he leaned backwards slightly and groaned. "I don't want to know anymore," he said and started down the hall leaving Rue and Luca by themselves.

Berach Vullian
He glared at Walker when he spoke and then took some steps toward the boy, "Training is meant for war, it means you practice for war, it mean you are at war. You should have done the right thing, but you didn't, so next time you will."
He knew kids like Walker, those who thought they were always right. Berach had been just like him but he also knew what hard consequences came with that kind of attitude so he let the boy go even if he didn't understand what Berach was trying to comunicate to him.
When all the students were gone he went to the teacher's lounge and sat on the couch, "So how are things going?"
"Not so good I must say," answered one of the teachers, "The North Front Army is backing up and coming close, I do hope the students are ready."
"They are. Fighting wise," Berach sighed, "but not for war."
Aslan Portegar
Aslan went to the cafeteria and ordered his meal then sat at a table where no one came to sit with him. Everything that had happened at training went terribly wrong, the only good thing was that they defeated a Behemoth but so many people came near death because of it. Aslan had to show more authority or no one would listen to him.
Maybe I should start a fight. . . He thought to himself.
No you won't, we just got out of a fight so leave them in peace, Babur intruded Aslan's thoughts.
"Sir Portegar," an errand man came to see Aslan and handed him an envelope, "for you."
The errand man left right after leaving Aslan to see the emblem of his family keeping the envelope shut. He opened the letter and started reading but when he was finished his eyes stayed wide and the letter slipped from his fingers falling to the ground.
"It can't be," were the only words he could whisper between his lips.

Luca M. Feygor
"You have a promise to keep, so no, I couldn't wait. You promised and I've already decided your punishment."
Luca raised an eyebrow as she said this, his eyes sparkling with his signature amusement as Rue fought to maintain her composure in front of him. From the rosy hue of her cheeks to her pretense of anger, the tug of war between her embarrassment and determination was clear as day for him to enjoy. For the most part though, he was simply glad that she seemed okay.
"You're going to let me sleep with you because I'm tired and it's the least you can do in return. I'll be using you as my pillow. But don't think you're punishment ends there,"
Luca could only scratch the side of his cheek awkwardly for a moment, blinking in apparent surprise. Even his carefully constructed façade disintegrated in the face of her sudden change of attitude, temporarily leaving him at a loss for words. Luca speculated at first, wondering whether it was the fatigue or the medication talking. But regardless, Rue seemed genuinely serious about fulfilling her demands, and it seemed neither her brother nor her nerves could succeed in persuading her otherwise. Her defiance, even in the face of her brother, ever so slightly reminded him of the behaviour of a petulant child, forcing him to fight down the chuckle tickling the tips of his throat. In a way, he also found it adorably cute.
“You’re being awfully forward in front of all these people Rue,” he grinned at last. Still conscious of her wounds, he bent down as far as his throbbing ribs would consent and reached out to gently remove her hands from her hips, “Imagine what others would begin to say if they saw this side of you.” he commented with a snide smirk, acting as though she was a burden.
To emphasize the point he turned his head slightly, glancing at the back of Erin as sarcasm filtered back into his deep voice, “Although it may already be too late for that…” he said with a tilt of his head.
He allowed her to contemplate his words as his own eyes flickered back, gauging her reaction. Yet finding himself no longer able to deny the penetrating gaze of her green eyes, he finally gave into to her demands with a growing smile, “You’re absolutely right though, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting Rue,” he said, feeling as though he should at least indulge her for the trouble he'd caused, a part of him even willing it. Luca tapped her cheeks softly then, as if to dispel her fake anger, "But you should cheer up also, your smile is much more beautiful than your frown. Shall we then?"
"You have a promise to keep, so no, I couldn't wait. You promised and I've already decided your punishment."

Rue Tyryl
Once again he made her flustered. Her cheeks were bright red as she struggled to reply to him. How the hell did he do it so easily? She thought to herself in amazement. Her eyes flicked to Erin as he turned down the hall, only then did she catch the small smile on his lips as he disappeared around the end of the hall. Nemesis was looking up at his bond with the same look on his black sleek face. Obviously the boy and his bond had been discussing something and Rue had a feeling it had been about her.
Her hands felt warm as she realized that Luca was holding them and she returned her attention to him. Her heart had been racing and her thoughts on how well he'd come up with an immediate response that she hadn't noticed his taking hold of her fingers until just then. His lips pulled into a smile as he spoke to her, concluding that she was right and apologizing for making her wait. His hands reached out and tapped her cheeks gently flooding her with a strange twisting in her stomach and only able to stare up at him in awe.
"But you should cheer up also, your smile is much more beautiful than your frown. Shall we then?"
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked down then feeling helpless to keep the smile from her lips when he said to do so. After a moment she looked up and gave him a nod, the smile still there. Taking his hand she led him down the hall and followed where her brother had gone, though a lady in a white coat was ahead of them as she'd been waiting for Luca apparently. It was another nurse.
Once in the infirmary again, Rue met the woman whom she'd escaped from to begin with and the lady only frowned at her in disappointment before leading her back to her own bed. She had to wait for Luca to be treated before he was allowed to sleep, but he was on the bed next to hers and she looked away quickly as they began tending to him.
"My my, what a body that boy has," Snow remarked as the bird flew about the room.
"You have too much energy," Rue muttered as she struggled to keep her eyes the other way though she did turn and took a quick look before looking away again. Her face a brilliant red from doing so, however.
"Just as I thought. You thought so too."
"Whatever, Snow...." she muttered, pulling the covers up to her nose as she stared at the white wall across the room.
Erin Tyryl
"Thank you," he told the nurse that finished fixing up his battered chest and gave him some medicine to take for the pain. He was grateful and took a couple with a cup of water. Afterwards, he pulled his shirt back on and left the infirmary, his stomach leading him to the cafeteria.
"So, you think he'll be good for her?" Nemesis asked as he padded behind his human bond. Each step was a bit jarring, but the dire wolf healed very quickly, so his earlier injury across his shoulder and rib cage was nothing more than just an annoying bruise.
"Yeah, he is. I don't think he'll let anything happen to her." Erin replied with a slight grin. His earlier reaction was a true one, though the last part was half done just to tease her as he walked away, giving his sister and her boyfriend time alone. He was more than happy to see her talking with the boy just as much as she would talk to him. Never had he seen her so determined or heard her voice her thoughts so openly before. Luca had something about him that just got her all riled up and it was quite fun to watch.
Erin walked into the cafeteria, ordered a plate of chicken and a couple of bones for Nemesis. Once he received the food he went and found a place to sit. Across the way, he spotted the president sitting at a table looking pale and in shock. Raising an eyebrow, he watched the young boy and his bond for a moment before decided to go and see what had him so white. Getting up, he groaned slightly, took another piece of chicken and popped it in his mouth as he walked over.
"Hey, pres. What's wrong?" Erin asked as he took a seat across from Aslan and waited for his reply.

Walker's story
After Walker got back from the trip, the first thing he did was go to the infirmary to check on both Maya and Rue, making sure he had disguised himself as a nurse, and was lucky that no one had recognized him when he had slipped into Rue's room with a lunch consisting of pan-fried fish he'd prepared himself, with a chile-lime mayo sauce he'd made himself that always proved to be a hit down in the Wharf, as well as a light salad with a raspberry vinegarette on the side and a slice of handmade chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry glaze, also his own work. His taste test earlier had proved ithis meal to be one of his best works yet. He placed the meal down in front of Rue.
"Lunchtime, Miss Tyryl." He said, hiding his accent with all the skill of the finest of con men. "Oh, before I forget, a boy named Walker McMullin came by earlier with this meal, and said he wanted to apologize personally to you, but protocol said otherwise. I told him I'd handle it for him, and it took a bit of convincing to get him to agree. He also left me a message to tellyou, what was it... Ah, yes: 'Hope you get well soon, your brother gave me hell trying to keep me from making sure you were safe after you passed out. I'll try to keep away from running into you anytime soon, unless you feel like at least talking.' And that's it. Well, I need to be off, so eat while it's still hot, and enjoy!" As he said that, he slipped out of the room and over to Maya, who had turned her sketch into a paper airplane and was flying it around the room. Maya grunted in disgust.
"What do you want no-... Walker?" she asked, as Walker smiled and took the makeup he'd been using earlier off and removed the nurse's outfit he'd had on. "Damn, and I thought I'd seen all your talents."
"Nah, you've only seen my biggest talents." Walker said, pulling up a chair and sitting next to her. "Speaking of, what the hell were you thinking back there? Granted, I owed you, so of course I was going to help, but why do something like that in the first place?" Maya looked out the window.
"Well, I couldn't have let it be TOO easy for everyone." Walker laughed at this, and smiled.
"Riiiight. Well, just remember that our relationship is over from here on out as lovers, got it? Friends only, it was too awkward being the one left in the dust." Now it was Maya's turn to laugh, then grunt a little at the pain.
"Well, that saves me the trouble of trying to avoid you like the plague now!"
After that, the two continued to chat until Walker had to leave due to visiting hours.
Brenna's interlude
Brenna hopped through the hall to the cafeteria, where she nabbed a bit of food from the line, then over to Aslan and Erin.
"Hey, Erin, I'm sorry about Walker's actions, he's got a code he sticks to, and I can't really do much about that." She then saw Aslan's face and turned to face him.
"Now, dear, what's got you all up in a heat?"
After Walker got back from the trip, the first thing he did was go to the infirmary to check on both Maya and Rue, making sure he had disguised himself as a nurse, and was lucky that no one had recognized him when he had slipped into Rue's room with a lunch consisting of pan-fried fish he'd prepared himself, with a chile-lime mayo sauce he'd made himself that always proved to be a hit down in the Wharf, as well as a light salad with a raspberry vinegarette on the side and a slice of handmade chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry glaze, also his own work.

"Well, I couldn't have let it be TOO easy for everyone." Walker laughed at this, and smiled.
"Riiiight. Well, just remember that our relationship is over from here on out as lovers, got it? Friends only, it was too awkward being the one left in the dust." Now it was Maya's turn to laugh, then grunt a little at the pain.
"Well, that saves me the trouble of trying to avoid you like the plague now!"
After that, the two continued to chat until Walker had to leave due to visiting hours.
Brenna's interlude
Brenna hopped through the hall to the cafeteria, where she nabbed a bit of food from the line, then over to Aslan and Erin.
"Hey, Erin, I'm sorry about Walker's actions, he's got a code he sticks to, and I can't really do much about that." She then saw Aslan's face and turned to face him.
"Now, dear, what's got you all up in a heat?"
Luca M. Feygor
Luca grinned as he admired her reaction, giggling slightly as Rue looked down then up at him, a sweet smile creasing her supple lips in reply to his earlier suggestion. As he looked he could tell her determination still remained, the sharpness to her green eyes losing none of its edge.
Blue Horror had already slipped away in the ongoing conversation, the demon melding back into the shadows before fading away without a trace. Luca could only sigh in relief as he saw this, glad that the bond’s presence would no longer weigh on his mind for the moment at least. He followed Rue back into the infirmary, marvelling at the softness of her hands they followed after the footsteps of her brother. Arriving at a doorway and a sign which clearly indicated infirmary overhead, they were immediately greeted by a disgruntled nurse who was tapping her feet against the floor in apparent impatience.
He looked towards Rue, his eyes falling on her hand as he wondered if she’d allow him to be inspected without interruption. Fortunately, she relented, another nurse taking her to her own bed adjacent to his own. Luca was drawn back to his designated bed for inspection, whereupon he was kindly asked to describe the symptoms of his pain. He repeated his earlier statement and removed his shirt and jumper, pulling the cloth off his shoulders. A deep blue and purple bruise coursed its way over the side of chest, leaving the area under his left arm feeling raw and tender.
“You’re lucky nothing else was injured,” the nurse said at last, her pen working diligently to write down her observations on her clipboard. “It’s important to practice taking deep breaths. The rib will heal on its own, given time. We’ll prescribe you with some pain medication to keep the pain under control. Other than that, rest well,” she concluded with a small smile before getting up to leave.
Luca nodded in confirmation, pulling his shirt back over his arms. He waited until she closed the curtains around him before slipping out silently. Luca fell into Rue’s bed without waiting for her consent, no doubt startling the girl, but as his head hit her pillow his weary eyes had already fallen shut.
“Hmmm? That defiance from earlier has tempered a little. You made me afraid that you weren’t even going to allow me to be inspected alone,” Luca mumbled, wrapping his arms around her like a teddy bear and enjoying her fresh scent, “Thank you for helping me earlier though.”
Luca grinned as he admired her reaction, giggling slightly as Rue looked down then up at him, a sweet smile creasing her supple lips in reply to his earlier suggestion. As he looked he could tell her determination still remained, the sharpness to her green eyes losing none of its edge.
