"urge, my head, I shouldn't have exaggerated the raindrop drinks yesterday, my head hurts badly " Ibara left her bed, what look like a bed, she open the window for fresh air, but what she saw was the contrary, a tentacular hand shutting out from the underground, catching a flying giant sparrow and dragging it down, the sparrow disappeared, and all this happened in the middle of town, and everybody passing by just ignored it, or just made as if nothing happened.
"Ehmm, today would be great as usual" Ibara smiled, a minute later she left her room wearing a black pullover, she exited the house, a house which look mostly like a giant tree imbedded in a building, all buildings had similar features, tall short, and some were even monsters building, Ibara ran and entered the crowd, soon a giant lizard showed up, and people, all of unique and bizarre features jumped towards the lizard, Ibara followed jumped towards the slime lizard.
Within the liquid, she looked down at the town.
This was [HALLOW] the Town of mischief and demonism, horror and chaos, a place were either you eat or you get eaten, soon, the gelly lizard spat out the passengers, Ibara landed smoothly on the spot and walked forward.
Soon, she was joined by others of her age, she spoke with them happily and laughed as she walked towards the tall building.
Farend college, it is surprisingly to think that a hell zone has an education milieu, but yes, the teach things, even though their pedagogy is different from the normal criteria.
Demonism, dark magic, hunt, abomination building, monster botanist, Monster biology studies, and so on, so many courses, that's why Farend was seen as a prestigious college, competing with the others, like jink, and Pluto college.
Ibara had chosen the hunt course, where she had more field work than indoor classes, and she loved it very much, but in other to chose this course, she had to add another, forced to chose one of the most boring and theoretical course, the study of line and shift of dimensions, which was the most avoided course and were only three students were registered, but one attended, and that was because she was forced.
"I have to go guys" Said Ibara sadly, the others grumble, "why are you still tagging around with the Dr. Line maniac?" Asked a boy with reptile features, he landed on the floor and look at Ibara, he held her on her waist and smiled, "why are you always forced to leave me behind?" He flirted with her, which she responded lovely, "orhh-, my sweet cold blooded lover, don't worry, went I finish my task, I would come back and heat you up" The Reptile guy smiled in satisfaction and kissed her.
"Heh! Rasaka, take your girl somewhere else and chat, stop burning my eyes with your lovely shit" Complain the girl, she had a plant on her head, the plant changed color depending on her mood and this moment, it was red, which means that she was embarrassed, Rasaka ignored her and waved at Ibara as she walked away.

X adjusted his glasses as he look up only to see Ibara walking in, she really look unhappy of the situation, "oh- your here" He said as he stood up and packed certain stuff in his backpack, he put in a box and got ready, "moving out?" Asked Ibara seeing him fidgeting around, X nodded and went he made sure everything was done and organized, he looked up to her, field work.
"Huh?" She stared at X, "seriously?" She asked, X nodded and walk pass her, "you wouldn't believe what the data collected yesterday, and what I saw, I am certain, that was a crack, a sign of a distortion in space and time" He excitedly announced and walked out, Ibara ran behind him.

X, real name, Xavier, but people referred to him as X, or still, prof. X, woke up on his work desk with a paper on his face, he removed and wipe away the spit, he looked around and rub his sleepy eyes, put back his glasses and arranged his stuffs, this was how his days always started.
He brushed his teeth, and washed his face, he walked out of the bathing room wiping his face, he entered the kitchen, he took a cup, or what look like, he came closer to a plant, the plant immediately poured something black into the cup, it look like coffee.
He sip on it and walk back to his office, he look around his office, a minute later, he exited the house and look behind, "Fold" He spoke, immediately the house folded and turn into a box, he picked it up and put it into his coat and walked towards the town.
He preferred walking than taking the translucent lizard bus, or still, "should I keep you Mr. X?" Asked a man who immediately showed up riding a ridiculously giant dragon fly, "ehmm, Greenwood always up early " X gulped and look up at Greenwood, she look down at X grinning, as her name referred, she had had green emerald hairs, tied in a ponytail fashion, she had a nice chocolate skin, she look like a beautiful tree, and X always feld anxious Infront of her.
"Climb up, I would leave you in the campus" She smiled at him, "ehmm, Green... I think I can walk there without any problem ohh wait!" X did not have the time to talk back went the dragon fly caught him and threw him in the sky, "haaa!" X close his eyes and only found himself being caught again, he open his eyes and saw Greenwood catching him, "find, leave me at the campus " X gave up, Greenwood smiled and flew away towards, Farend college.
A minute later, "wow! Cool down buddy, here, we arrived " Said Green, she turn and saw X holding firmly onto her waist, and his hand on her chest, she slightly blush, "ehmm, Xavier, can you please..." She asked, X immediately shifted and immediately lost his balance and feld down, he look up at the laughing Greenwood.
"Thanks for the ride" He arrange his hair and picked up his backpack, adjusted his glasses and looked up at Greenwood who was gradually ascending towards the sky with the dragon fly, she waved at him, and he waved back, he turn around and saw the students grinning and laughing, he coughed and walked away.
Entering his office, he closed the door and threw his backpack on the desk and look out of the window, "Vision " His eyes glowed in purple as he could see from a distance, "looks like they failed, after all the data the took from me, they still could not bring back a human specimen, not a big deal at least I have this" He said as he look at the data of another breach, not far from the town, the pillar of light that exploded out yesterday was surely it, people should have seen it to, "Dante should already be on his way" Thought X as he started gathering his stuffs, he sat down reading into some miscellaneous documents, that's went the door open up and a figure showed up, "oh- your here" He adjusted his glasses and stood up finalizing his preparation.
They exited the school perimeters and walked towards the red wood, the second perimeter circling Hallow town, "aren't we too far from the town " Asked Ibara looking down at the town, they more the went further, the more the climb upwards.
"Hmm... Are you worried, the spot isn't that far, we would not encounter any wild beast or a messenger of the fallen here, not if we crossed the perimeter of the redwood and ender Fallen" Said Dr. X, Ibara gulped and followed behind.
Soon, after coming out of bushes, X looked around, he feld a strange presence, but it soon disappeared, "hmm, maybe my imagination " What followed was, the learning, the fight and the invitation.
Which landed the three here, "so, where are we?" Asked Brian looking left and right with his hands in his raincoat pocket, he had to put his hood in other to hide his identify, apparently, if he is found out, a commotion may occur or people may try to have a taste of him, he had goose bumps hearing that.
"My home" Said Dr. X searching for something inside his black coat, "where did I keep it again, which pocket" Meanwhile, Ibara kept on kicking stones to distract herself went she felt something odd, she turn around and saw Brain going further away, "your test subject is escaping man" She informed, Dr. X looked behind and panicked, get him, don't leave him go, I would bring out the box, no matter were he got too, "search!" His hand glowed in purple as it started dragging him from left to right, and forcing him to spin, Ibara shook her head, in normal times, this would be a mockery to share with the others, but this time, she was too annoyed for that.
"What the hell, he invites me to have a stay on a dead tree, what a joke, if I had known he was an homeless dude" Brian stopped Infront of a stone, he just had a feeling, so he climb it, from the stone, he could see Hallow town, "how are the relief and landmarks of this world, weird..." He thought, in his eyes, this place was a leaving hell.
"What are you doing over there" Brian turn his head, he frowned at the beast girl, "non of your business" Answered Brian as he look back at the strange town, something flew and caught a bird, or what looks like and dragged it back, "huh!" Brian was slightly frightened and surprised.
"Haha, a common sight like that is enough to frightened you?" Mocked Ibara, she was at first pissed by his attitude, but seeing him freak out on something like that calm her mood, "I was surprised not frightened " Defended Brian, she laughed, "is they a difference?" She asked, "you were spooked by it weren't you?" She send him a mocking gaze, Brian was embarrassed and angered by her teasing.
"Okay, okay, do you want a visit?" Asked Ibara, Brian turn to face her, they look at each other...
