Pendzez Zazkex Flayra Zazkex Janardan Academy, 2:00 AM, 1st Tessera IC: Darkness was upon the world; the night has taken over the sunlit earth of Ramath, letting the stars come out so the world would be amazed by what pattern they are showing when bunched together, the moon showing its full self unto the world. The dark night was in the sky and silence was in motion. In a place that looked like a school, actually an Academy, had a only a student out on the courtyard, walking along a paved footpath that led to the open field of a flat grassy area. This student, Pendzez, was up this late to practice his techniques. This late? At 2 in the morning? The silence was evidence that no one was there, watching his every move. Besides, who else would be up at this late hour? Well, probably those who are dutied to do so. However, Pendzez made it to the grassy patch of the courtyard, looking around to see if he was alone. On one in sight. Perfect. Pendzez clicked his fingers, and with a wave of his hand, he made replicas of himself out of the flame which he controls and makes. The burning replicas were equipped with the weapons Pendzez could use when on a treasure hunt. A sword, a shuriken, and a halberd. Only three replicas, one with one of those weapons. Pendzez took a breath, and took his Sol Crest to turn it into the halberd. After so, he readied himself for the replicas attacks. The replicas raised there weapons, then lashed out. Pendzez, with his halberd, dodged, block, and swung at the replicas, taking out the one with the Shuriken. The one with the sword attacked, but fell to Pendzez. Only the replica with the halberd was left. It unleashed a wave of attacks. Pendzez blocked each, then defeated that replica. Pendzez still gripped his halberd tightly. He knew someone was there, watching him. He spun around, looking from one end to another. "Who's there?" he yelled out demandingly. Someone was there. He could feel it.

He was having trouble sleeping. shadow had been going for these walks more often lately. he had been about to turn around to head back to the school when he saw a flash not far off. being as curious as he was, he started quietly on all fours in that direction. the younger males posture and his eyes displayed his determination clearly. Shadow had been impressed by the boys fighting skills. he slowly and silently lowered him self to the ground laying in the grass and watching curiously his gray and blue wings were tucked as close to himself as possible. his tail flame glowed dully hidden underneath the shelter of his wings. when the pendragon spoke he quietly rose to his two feet and stepped out giving a warm smile.
OOC: Character: http://shadowlack.com/persona.php?id=1551Fautal</a> IC: Fautal was out enjoying the night air. He had always wondered what Janardan was like and he almost wished that he had gone here for his schooling instead. He was here now as a guest speaker for the arcaeology class that he'd be here for two days teaching. Fautal had arrived a day early and talked with the archaeology professor to finalize the arrangements for his lecture. Fautal smiled to himself and somewhat enjoyed rooting out all those romantics of archaeology. Thinking that it was the same as they saw in the films. He hoped to keep those there that would actually enjoy the study and research the science thoroughly, even maybe add newfound knowledge to the field. Fautal continued on his walk until he noticed something going on in the other courtyard about 100 yards away. He walked in that direction and noticed a young arden practicing what appeared to be pyromancing. He continued in that direction and noticed another arden over in the distance speaking to the younger one. Fautal found a spot and stood in it and continued to watch. If they noticed him he'd acknowledge them.
Pendzez was surprised to see Prof. Shadow Juem out this late. Mabye patrolling the grounds for any intruders or students up after hours. If one of those were the cases, then he would be in trouble. However, he wouldn't care. He was up and outside in the middle of the night, big deal. An exam? No, he was just out practising. He wanted to be strong, not for personal desire, but to protect those he loves. His friend Jynx, and his sister Flayra. Those two girls were treasure to him. Enough treasure worth protecting, also his Sol, but that had little protecting than the girls. Besides, the crest is the one that does most of the protecting after all. Since he knew pyrokinesis, he would be suspected for making easy to defeat replicas of himself, but he was always fair. When he would make replicas, he would make them challenging. Returning to the matter at hand, The Sun Dance Kid said calmly, "No, just a practise. Nice to meet you, Professor." Pendzez gave a light smile to Shadow as he did an intro. Soon after, he felt another presence in the bushes. He could feel it in his crest and he knew who it was. It was Fautal. "I know you're there. Come out." Pendzez looked over in the direction Fautal was "suposingly" hiding.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td> okay computer fixed!! YAY!!</td></tr></table> Shadow smiled at the young pendragon. then glanced at the sky and said. <span style='color:green'>"well i suppose it is a nice night for practicing that particular skill ."</span> shadow chuckled and continued happily, <span style='color:green'> "its nice to meet you as well... I'm afraid i didn't catch your name...and don't worry. I won't tell anyone you were out at this hour if you don't."</span> Shadow winked his scarred eye. then his eyes followed the young pendragons. he spotted the older pendragon he smiled at him but with an air of caution hidden behind his eyes. he didn't sense danger. he relaxed slightly so very slightly it was unnoticeable. Shadow was prepared to fight if he needed to.
<span style='color:grey'>Ooc: Fey and coach Tye out on their normal night stroll.</span> http://shadowlack.com/persona.php?id=1300Fey'yore Dra'skir</a><span style='color:purple'>: Wearing his usual attire of Baggy purple jeans shorts and many crystal jewellery.</span> http://shadowlack.com/persona.php?id=1349Tychicus Dra'skir</a><span style='color:orange'>: In his Academy track suit and baseball cap.</span> <span style='color:grey'>Ic:</span> <span style='color:purple'>"What's wrong with walking at night, then?"</span> Turning to his brother. <span style='color:orange'>"Because it's after teaching hours, so if you hurt yourself. The Academy is not liable for the damages, even though there is a chance to sue due to the student studying here."</span> It was the usual banter that they always had when Fey accompanied his brother on the night rounds. After walking halfway across the grounds the sound of fighting clattered through the halls. Tye lifted out his wings with some pain, and ran on all fours powering down the halls with his wings beating. All Fey heard was. <span style='color:orange'>"Trouble!"</span>. Fey'yore ran after him as best he could. Tychicus burst out from the corridor exit with a blast of air and a hop. During his mid-air vertical roll he switched back to a standing position. Landing on his feet. <span style='color:orange'>"And just what is going on here!"</span> He stood much like a squat God, the fires making his fur glisten and his face look more angry. Fey was still a long ways back.
OOC: ok srry i'm late. IC: Metarist Rlupa Wearing his usual black t-shirt and shorts. inventory: book on Fronima concentrated attacks. it was a nice morning for Metarist for he was reading in the most peaceful place he knew as a child, reading a book on the next stage of he's training scheduled he was enveloped in his studies until he heard voices that made his complex mental brick wall collapsed in front of him. "Why is it when IÂ’m resting and trying to amuse myself that stuff interruptsÂ’s Me." he said as he decided to walk towards the place a group of pendragons were talking at. "Excuse me sorry to interrupt but I was reading and decided to come here."
OOC: Boy, a lot of people have joined. IC: "So you did notice me," Fautal said. He wasn't in the least bit surprised because he wasn't really hiding at all and was out in the open. "You are pretty skilled at pyromancing if you are able to create replicas of yourself and have them attack you almost as if they were their own person." Fautal noticed more 'dragons in the area. "It seems we aren't the only ones out tonight. Just how many people could be up at this late hour?" He looked around at the new arrivals to the courtyard.
OOC: Ok, order made. http://shadowlack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6674&st=0&#entry92537Clickie here.</a> This has the posting order. IC: Fautal came out from hiding. Well, meeting someone and knowing that they're hiding, watching you made it pretty easy to tell that they were there. However, three new arrivals came, two were the Dra'skir brothers, and one was someone he didn't know, but by the look of him, he was a student here. He didn't let those disturb him. Instead, he answered each one accordingly. To Fautal, "Well, I met you once before. You were pretty easy to notice, thanks to my Crest." To Prof. Shadow, "My name is Pendzez sir. And my mouth is sealed, altough we were discovered." To Tychicus, "I... Hello again Tye." To Metarist, "Sure, it's ok. We were just talking." Pendzez was surprised to see this many people here. It was large enough to make a gang. Well, that was an option, but Pendzez would never do that, unlike his cousin.
Shadow's eyes opened wide by the sudden appearance of the extra pendragons. he closed his eyes for a second and collected him self calmly. he looked around to each pendragon. everyone seemed to be at lease somewhat confused. Shadow turned his attention to the other teacher and smiled with an air of authority. <span style='color:green'>"don;t worry i assure you its nothing to worrisome. looks worse then it is... just some late night practice thats all..."</span> shadow chuckled to himself. students who are out of bed all coming towards the teachers? well that was a change.
Fautal looked towards Pendzez, "Ah yes, I remember you from Gyakusatsu." He then looked over at the other, he assumed, instructor Tychicus. "He's right, no trouble. I think you'd want an explanation of why I am here at this late hour. My name is Fautal, I've been asked to be a guest speaker in the archaeology class. I was just out for a late night stroll."
<span style='color:orange'>"It is still against curfew. For students."</span> Rather gruffly. The sound of harried footsteps echoed behind him as Fey'yore ran out. <span style='color:purple'>"So what was the trouble then?"</span> He asked breathlessly. Fey looked around at the large group before him one of whom he recognised. <span style='color:purple'>"I remember you from the ruins. I freaked you out."</span> Smiling.
<span style='font-family:Arial'>What a strange bunch doing outa here in the night, only know one of em (fey) and yeah it's my turn to talk</span>. "....i think you should lighten up a-bit teacher sir" he said "also it would be wise..." he said to everyone."... To advise whoever is in charge of this school here to build some grounds where students can even do mid-night stuff." he said frankly and was proud of himself thinking something up like that. <span style='font-family:Arial'>Ok I think I made the kids chances of not being expelled or something like that plummet to the chance of 0</span>. Meta thought, and held up his book and kept reading whiles the rest of the pendragons ague. <span style='font-family:Arial'>then i may be wrong as always</span>. he rethought.
OOC: I have a notice. http://shadowlack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6674&st=0&#entry92723Click here</a> Pendzez was still asking himself if it was against curfew to be out at night. Well, he see the rules as a treasure hunter. For the night, that's who he is. Not a student. To reply Shadow's compliment, he said, "Well, that's is understandable. You see, for the night, i'm a treasure hunter, which means, rules don't affect me in anyway, unless it's the Olsenu's rules." Turning to Fautal, he was familiar because Pendzez met him at Gyakusatsu. He wondered why he was, but when he explained it to Tyr as he came along, now Pendzez knew why. "Yes, good to see you too." Now to the Dra'skir Brothers, Fey was behind. Tyr, however, was quick on his feet. When he said curfew, Pendzez thought that Tye heard Pendzez about being a treasure hunter. "Like I said, treasure hunters aren't affected by school rules." To the newcomer, which was the student, seemed to be standing up against Tye. To be honest, that student had guts.
Shadow was content to just sit back and listen to all points of view. looking at the new coming fey he smiled at Tye. <span style='color:green'>" you seem to have a student out of bed as well... your brother i believe? there are plenty of hours in the day for training, aren't there? however if Pendzez were to practice this particular skill in the day he could cause a scene or even accidentally hurt someone. don;t you agree?"</span> Shadow smiled at the young pendragon with the book in his hand. <span style='color:green'>"we do have some mid-night classes. such as astronomy. though it wouldn't hurt to perhaps go to the head master with that idea. im sure he'd consider it as long as you could find a willing teacher to supervise."</span> shadow gave him a warm smile.
Fautal agreed with the charcoal arden. "Indeed, you'd be making yourself a hypocrite if you didn't enforce the rules also on your brother too, if you are so strict with it to other students there," He said to Tychicus.
Tychicus glared momentarily around finishing on Fey. <span style='color:orange'>"Yes. That is true."</span> He visibly seethed if it weren't for the fur they might have seen a pulsing vein. <span style='color:purple'>"Brother? Calm."</span> It wasn't much to help, more like a drop of water on scorching sand. <span style='color:purple'>"They do have a point and you would have to still report it along with the reasons."</span> Hoping the orderly response would halt the angry brother from shouting at them all. Tye breathed in deeply filling ever spare space of himself with air. Making himself look much larger and impressive than before. <span style='color:gray'><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>Ooc: Sorry about the wait was busy.</span></span>
<span style='color:green'>"we do have some mid-night classes. Such as astronomy. Though it wouldn't hurt to perhaps go to the head master with that idea. IÂ’m sure he'd consider it as long as you could find a willing teacher to supervise."</span> Metarist heard as his even stronger mental brick wall collapsed again. <span style='color:gray'>This is getting old</span> he thought and raised his shoulders, showing his sense of annoyance. "No thanks mate, my job is time consuming as it is." Metarist finally said putting his arm down as he gave up reading his book if everyone is just gonna talk.
Time was short. Pendzez was out for some practice, but there was like seven hours until sunrise. Pendzez probably could do with some more sleep before the dawn. Pendzez thought that mabye he should return to his room. first, he would have to say that he's leaving. A thought came to mind. He remembered that there was something he had to do tomorrow. In the machina ruins. There were reports from an excavation squad that there was an inaccessible cave that has strange marks, that looked like a gunner of some kind. "Well, I know we just met up, but I have to get some sleep for tomorrow. There were reports from an excavation team that they found a cave that has tough doors. You're welcome to join me. That way, we can meet up and pick up from where we left off. Sound like a plan?"
ooc: im going to take my leave My sons Sick, in and out of the hospital, and its hard to keep up with a RP of this size. Shadow looked at his watch. <span style='color:green'>"that seems like a good idea i think all of the students here are in need of some sleep. so unless you have a midnight class... </span> Shadow had a big day tomorrow himself. a pop quiz. Most of his students would know about it if they had been studying. <span style='color:green'>"i won;t be joining you tomorrow, but i wish you good luck. however i have to be off to bed my self i have a class in 6 hours. good night everyone.</span>
