"How is this possible?" Van uttered in awe, as blue wisp flew past him joining a cyclone of colors that floated high above the air, Thumping with life. Yet that wasent the only thing that stole vans attention, standing on the stairway, Van saw thousands of Full seats with students Looking at him, in disbelief.
'Elves.' seated in the nearby seat was a blonde haired girl, with emerald colored eyes and the infamous pointy ears currently tilting her head in confusion, as Van walked up to her and leaned close to her.'if this is cosplay she damn good at it but, I doubt it , it looks to real.'
"Amazing."his voice flustered her as the tips of her ears, turned red meekly she looked down as her ears started to twitch.
"I."she whispered softly, only to look back up to discover van a distance away picking up a angry red headed gnome.
"Put me down asshole!" Barking up curse words, practically foaming at the mouth van looked at the small man with intrigue, as he muttered.
"Feral, are you really a gnome?" Laughter bellowed from the students around them, as the red haired gnome flushed crimson. Ignoring their laughter Van could see in the corner of his eyes more and more different magical races.'there's to many of them for it be fake, unless cross Highschool of academics had some weird dress code but I doubt it, so the question is where did they come from? Where they always here? is this the reason they hate my family? Was my father to close to discover them? Is this why I have no friends? So many questions….'
"You!"glancing at the bundle of rage, jam packed in that small body, the cyclone of colors suddenly hummed lightly drawing everyone attention.
'What is that?' van gaze was lost, in the tranquility that the cyclone brought with it, thumping softly it slowly shifted into a bright golden Glow. Illuminating the auditorium in its aura."beautiful.."the warmth it brought to Van reminded him, of something he lost long ago. For a moment old wounds, not of physical pain were soothed.
"Welcome travelers, wanderers, Nobles of renowned Houses, Royalty of great kingdom's and empires spanning all of The seven wonders of Renn.i welcome you all to Mysterias Cross academy." It wasent just one voice that spoke no, it sounded like a thousand if you could wrap your mind around that, Van didn't know who started it but by the time he realized it the auditorium was filled with applause, as the gnome still in his grasp was shedding tears with a smile etched on his face.
"I did it ma, da I made it YEAH!"feeling awkward Van placed the crying gnome down as he was left utterly awed and confused.'What's going on?!'Van was left with more question unanswered, as he had a bad feeling that something was not right.
And then with sounds of a crisp snap, the auditorium went silent. Widening his eyes van felt a invisible hold over his mouth, as he tried to speak but couldn't and it wasn't just him. Everyone was affected, as the gnome praises were unheard.with a whirlwind of crows appearing on the podium in the center stage. Where Miranda carth appeared, with that same smile she showed Van she spoke."regardless of your status, who you where before matters not for you are now a student of Cross cherish that title."she looked around at everyone until, locking eyes with Van.
"For it will be watching." A shudder ran through von, confusing him.as she looked away.
"You are free to choose which classes to attend but, not all will be available to you they require certain mastery's if you will. Other than that, each month of the semester you will be ranked accordingly to the progress you've made and will be rewarded, while others who've made meager progress will be stripped of their titles at the end of the semester." Van eyes zeroed in at everyone reactions, some paled at the thought while others beamed with confidence.
Meanwhile Van, didn't know what to think, today was supposed to be the start of the boringest four years of his life, he had his schedule that has been 14 years in the making now masterfully adapted, through each school year and now it was on the verge of shattering.' At least my dads not crazy…yay.' It's been a rollercoster of emotions for Van, first the living portrait, then seeing magic firsthand and now His Highschool was some sort of magic School, where was he Hogwarts?!.
"Other wise I welcome you to Cross academy."with a snap of her fingers, she vanished with a whirlwind of crows. Feeling the weight over his mouth gone, Van heaved as he noticed everyone leaving their seats and heading towards the main entrance, to the auditorium.
'Don't mind me, I'm just following the line.'Van thought, as he followed the majority out, looking around he did not notice he was walking abit to fast, inadvertently bumping into something soft.
"Sorry." Van stopped as he held back a sigh, to the familiar raging blonde he did not want to see, looking at him with utter disgust.
"You lustfull fiend! How dare you taint my body with your ilk!"slowly the following crowd attracted by the commotion began to gather around them, throwing curious glances towards Van and her.
"It was an accident, no need to get pissy about it."crossing his arms Van said while locking eyes with her. As she huffed.
"You brute! To use such vulgar words in my presence, how dare you!" Murmurs clouded, the corridors they where in, multiple figures shook their heads in scorn to Van who sighed.
"Listen princess, I'm not going to be late again because of your tantrum, believe whatever you want." Van said as he walked passed the raging Blonde, who clenched her pale fist. Pushing past the crowd, who looked at him with content.'now theres something I remember.' He thought, glancing at the familiar looks.
