Luke was standing in the middle of a dark forest.
The trees had all lost their leaves, making it creepy enough.The forest was covered in a cotton thick fog,making it almost impenetrable.The trees cast their shadows over the ground.Luke gazed around, perplexed.
Suddenly, something crossed behind him.
"Who's there?"Luke asked, turning around.He was now starting to get scared of this forest.He gazed around but couldn't find what had just crossed.Suddenly,behind him,it crossed again.
"Come out now,whoever you are!"Luke demanded.He was now starting to get pissed instead of scared.He looked around,trying to fight his sight through the thick fog but to no avail.This place was so freaking annoying, already.
Suddenly,the someone crossed again.This time,Luke saw something,only his dark figure. It must be something big and aggressive,because of the silent growl that escaped him as he crossed.
"Come out,now.I have seen you."Luke called, fighting hard not to sound frightened.
The figure, hesitantly,stepped out of the shadows.He wasn't visible in this cotton like fog but his burning coals of eyes were visible and alive.He seemed to be aggressive,like Luke guessed and silent growls signified his breathing.Luke almost toppled over when he looked into his eyes.His eyes kept burning,two flaming torches.
"What in the world are you?And where am I?"Luke asked, looking around.The figure didn't reply,or give him an answer.He stood there, watching his every move."Aren't you going to tell me a thing?"Luke asked.
Suddenly,the figure pounced for him.Luke didn't waste a second to dodge his predator.He noticed that the figure was actually more like a wisp of smoke.He was made, completely,of smoke.He had some sort of 'S' rune on his forehead.In him was a glowing amber light,like his heart.His eyes were,indeed,flaming coals and he had horns,curving like the devil's.He had razor sharp claws.He bared his coal black fangs and made to pounce for Luke.
Luke's heart started to beat wildly. 'You're going to be savaged to death if you don't run,' his scared half screamed at him.'Stand still.Monsters need to be shown that you are around,too.'his brave half said. Luke stood firmly rooted to the ground, contemplating whether he should run or he should stay there and be savaged.Instinctively,his scared half took over and he decided to turn and run.But he was kinda late to decide.Luke almost screamed out loud,as he dodged the monster.He immediately sprinted off.
The fog was thick,not allowing him to run freely.It held him back,as if keeping him in position for the monster to devour.Luke still tore through the fog.He held his arms before him to create his way.He kept running,not looking back.
He couldn't see his pursuer but he could feel his presence.His aura kept sweeping through Luke.Luke kept running, striving hard to get as far away from that monster as his legs could take him.
Suddenly,Luke tripped over something,maybe a root.He yelped as his face hit the ground, bruising him slightly but endangering him much more.Luke scrambled on the ground, sitting up and pulling himself far from his pursuer.He couldn't see him yet but he could feel him coming.And then,there he was.Luke gasped as he saw him.His pursuer appeared from the fog. His eyes still ablaze, burning with hunger and desire.He walked over to where Luke was fighting to stand up but couldn't.The rune on his forehead started to gleam,a faint glow.He bared his fangs and reached out a hand to grab hold of Luke.

Breathing heavily,Luke sat up in bed.He was all sweaty and panicky.He gazed around for proof that his pursuer was not here,in this room.His roomies were all fast asleep. Clement slept with a simple snore.Eric shifted about his bed.The rest were all sound asleep.
Sighing heavily,Luke lay back on his bed.His long coal black hair,once again matting his pillows.He reached for his blanket and tucked himself in.He couldn't help but stay alert,just in case, something attacked them as they slept.

Luke woke up to the silent murmuring of the students. The sun kissed it's way over the room,giving it a perfect morning complexion.
Rohan and Krysmis were already up and getting dressed.Clement and Eric were nowhere to be found.Robin was busy rummaging through his closet.
"Morning,guys!"Luke greeted, swinging his legs off the bed.
He,in some way,had managed to fall asleep from last night's nightmare.He also was surprised by that.Putting on the slippers,he walked over to his closet and grabbed a towel.
He walked out the room and followed the students who were heading to the bathrooms.
"What are we studying,today?"Luke asked,as they got dressed.After he had taken his warm shower,he rushed to his chambers where he found Clement and Eric getting dressed.The others had left,already."We studied bookwork, already.Now it is practicals!"Clement said, draping on his coat."Yeah!Sword fights and stuff,"Eric said.Luke buttoned up his shirt,"If it is Sword Fights,why are you guys putting on uniforms?"he asked.
"We're gonna get dressed in the armory," Clement said, putting on his overcoat Shadow Cloak."We are not allowed without uniforms without someone to supervise us,"Eric said, pulling together his tie.
Luke put on his uniforms,and cloak,and the trio walked out the dormitories, towards Eldarion Hall. Luke noticed that the Dunédain was not on fire, anymore.'Creepy' he thought.
"Hey,guys!"Asralyn joined them as they walked towards the Eldarion Hall for breakfast.
"Hey there,Ash!"Eric greeted.Asralyn looked so fresh in the morning sunlight.Her long ash blonde hair tied in a ponytail,part of it cascading down her shoulders.Her Shadow Cloak made her more beautiful."What are you going to do about that cloak of yours?"Asralyn asked Luke."I don't know,"Luke said, examining his cloak.It was so long it trailed on the ground behind him,"I don't even know how to will this cloak into anything."
"That, literally,means you have little faith,"Asralyn said."Oh, please,Ash.Don't start. You know very well we couldn't will anything before we took our Willpower Lessons,"Clement said."But very simple it is,"Asralyn argued."Well,atleast you couldn't do it before you took your lessons,"Clement slang a hand across Luke's shoulder,"Luke here, remember,is a newcomer."Asralyn crossed her arms over her breasts,"Okay!!"she nodded,her grey eyes gleaming in the sun.
