The dry leaves were sweeping the dirt away with the high breeze. His long jacket was dancing near his calf as he entered the towered gates of Glitz. The cloth mask over his face slightly curled up with the breeze and then settle down. His charcoal grey eyes watched the huge dragon pillars and the amazing formation built above it. He looked at some of the learners gathering near the trunk cut chairs. His gaze fell over the jacket bearer who walked in to the group while folding his sleeves. The long hooded guy narrowed down his face at the group for a few moments and then walked gradually inside the Academia.
On the other hand, the jacket bearer who just came near the group, instantly got a short and rapid blink over his mysterious jacket. His jacket twinkled as he wavered his eyebrows in confusion. He pulled up his lips and looked around himself from the side bushes of the Glitz border walls to the corridors, from the lawn to the entrance, from the entrance to the main gate. He sharply pointed his gaze at the long hooded guy. The steady walk of the mysterious figure brought too much puzzles for this guys to solve about him. Kellen kept inspecting his way of walking. He instantly looked away when he saw that the guy was looking towards his group. 'A mysterious figure appears in glitz. There must be something about this guy.' He shortly stretched his lips as him he was ready to solve the immaculate riddles that has crowded the moment this guy entered Glitz.
Kellen watched him walking inside the huge main door of Glitz. "Hey, Kellen What do you think about going to the Illusion Land just you and me to check out the area?" Cassandra traced the muscular shoulders of the jacket bearer who slightly turned around, "Cassandra, there are other learners who will be coming here, we just can't go on our own to discover something that could be too dangerous for us." Cassandra's heart shaped face flushed after the gentle tone of this talented Shimer. She could have taken over the whole Glitz just to get some alone time with him. The way he is always aware of his surroundings had made her feel something which she couldn't described. She hated the way he handles and behaves around Ella. A short crack inside her heart was always twisted whenever Kellen denied her appealing acts. It was like she was attractive to the whole world and yet Kellen has never reacted like she had ever imagined. She had dreamt of them together becoming Shimer King and Shimer Queen of Glitz but alas she could only wait till he completes the trials for Talented Shimer King.
Cassandra nodded and went back to her seat. Kellen had gently removed her hand and gestured her to go to her place. Jareth slipped near him pushing his face near to his ears, "Didn't I told you she had planned something?" Jareth whispered with a smirk. Kellen pushed his face away in a beat as the Mentalian Shimer was stumbled back in disgrace.
"Asshole" He cursed him under his breath.
Kellen narrowed his eyes at him, "Did you say something?" He asked bitterly.
"Nope, Lov..." Kellen smacked a punch over his face so as to stopped his jokes. Jareth brought his hand over to Kellen's face and did the same thing with him.
"You know that I don't like being called by such names." Kellen shouted back as he pushed him a little further.
Jareth pushed him harder, "So what? If you are not responding to any of them, I should bring them out of you." Jareth grinned as he caught the death glare from Kellen.
"You...." Kellen summoned his whistle blade over his hand. The gothic whistle blade glowed with his Turquoise Blue Colour and had a spiral rolling over the outside. A short feather was hanging over the holding end. He looked at the Mentalian Shimer and positioned his whistle blade towards him.
Jareth saw him summoning the blade and quickly caught his index fingers into a cross sign and then a small skull made it's way out from his fingers. Over the eyes, mouth and the outlines it had a darker black colour. As well as on the sides where a normal skull would have a white colour it had a dangerously orange colour. As the skull came out of his fingers, he saw the jacket bearer positioning his whistle blade at him, he launched his takt to throw at him.
Kellen threw his whistle blade from his side and Jareth pushed his hand in front as the skull travelled towards the whistle blade. The glowing blade rotated and made a short circle around itself which formed a small mist cage for the skull to be trapped. As the skull went forward the mouth suddenly flapped open as it started to crumble everything that cam under it's black teeth.
Jareth smirked looking at his Skull. In some way being a Mentalian Shimer gives him a little bit of more credit as he could easily control his takt wherever and whenever possible. There was a reason why he is called a talented Mentalian Shimer in the whole Glitz.
Kellen smiled shortly and looked at him, "Well, I guess in controlling no one can beat you." Jareth shrugged his shoulder rolling his eyes.
Kellen's whistle blade suddenly floated straight up in the air and moved irregularly in all possible positions which brought a frown over Jareth's face. As the blade moved irregularly, the mentalian Shimer tried to fix his aim at one position where the skull could slash it's teeth to cut into it with a firm attack but Kellen didn't give him a chance. The authentic whistle blade moved faster than the motion of his eyes. He moved his green pupils in every possible direction to catch sight of the blade but failed to do so as all the short Skull was bite into was the mist formation from the blade.
"You seemed to be practicing well, Upcoming Shimer King." As Cassandra heard this sentence she was flushed more while watching the duo have a short melee against each other.
"Hey, Vanni" She looked at the long curly haired girl. Vanni was a little taller than Cassandra, she had the eyes of blueberries and the blushing tint of strawberries. Her pale ivory skin slightly burned under the sun hence she had always put on a small hat over her head. The tall coconut scented girl usually wore tops which covered her skin and shorts reaching her mid thighs. She would wear skin colour stockings to match with her skin tone and help her from any kind of Sunburns with that she wore boots to cover her feet.
Vanni looked at the Shimer Queen, "Do you know who is Kellen bringing to the discussion today?" Cassandra casually asked flipping her hairs back. She kept looking at Kellen who was preoccupied with his fight. 'How is he so adorable' She thought.
"I don't know, but I heard that he seems to be getting really good along with the new learners and their group, one of the learner named..." Cassandra rolled her eyes in annoyance and shook her head.
"....Yeah I know, the new learner Ella who had the guts to talk back against me." She pressed her hands into a fist, digging her fingers into her palm.
"I am just waiting for the day when I win over his heart, that would be the day when she will be dead by my own hands." Vanni opened her eyes wide open in shock and looked at the curvy smile dancing over Cassandra lips.
"Are you really?" Vanni asked in an utter shock of denial.
Cassandra slightly laughed while moving her hands in the air like flapping wings and closed her eyes. "Ohh sweetheart sometimes I joke when I feel really angry and jealous over something which is supposed to be mine. So relax. " She lightly laughed and continued, "There was a time when a girl who lived beside me tried to ask a guy who I liked, I was so angry when they started seeing each other frequently which boiled the blood running in my veins." Vanni almost tried to clear her thoughts but couldn't shield her ears from Cassandra's story.
She looked at Kellen and then at Cassandra, "So what did you do to her?" She asked her as a chill ran down her body.
"Nothing, let's just say I never had a neighbour named Delmara." She said smiling to herself. Vanni almost moved back in horror.
Cassandra saw her moving back and caught her hand in an instant. Vanni looked at the firm hold which she had over her arm and then at the Shimer Queen, "Relax Vanni, I was a little girl back then, I didn't knew what to do so I followed her."
"Her?" Vanni asked in confusion. Cassandra almost looked like she was too lost in her own world of thoughts while she smiled widely and told her story to the girl she had caught in her hand.
"Ohh no one." She slipped back from her thoughts and shook her head with a small smile. Vanni released herself from her hold and moved back.
"Don't call be by that name, unless I have acheived it, " Kellen shot a look at the Mentalian Shimer.
Jareth formed his lips in an 'O' and rolled his eyes. Kellen scoffed.
The whistle blade having caught speed which was harder for Jareth to catch it with his eyes, made his takt lose it's focus. Within a sudden interval, the blade appeared from the top of the skull and thrusted harder in the skull which broke open the takt as a wave of orange and black takt of fluid mist splashed across and then disappeared into the air.
"Good one." Jareth smiled at his bud and walked near him. The duo exchanged a smirk and caught their hands in a signature handshake where they both first clapped vertically on each other's hands and then shoved it back with a wave.
"Your takt is becoming more difficult for me to fight back." Kellen snorted with a sly look.
"Joke all you want, but you will see in the line up, what my true power is!" Jareth grinned at the jacket bearer.
