<font color='#810541'>Quarter: Tessera (Autumn) Day: 35 Year: 81377 After so long of waiting out on the small tropical island of Sucam, a ship that was promised showed itself over the horizon. He lifted his head up from the sands of that white beaches he laughed lightly as it approached. “Well, she up held the end of her bargain as she said that she would." Then with that Fe’shi rose up from the white sands and trotted over towards the rolling waves. Catching the incoming and dashes out into the receding. Get out to the boat and gets aboard, glad to see that there was a ‘dragon out there that can keep her word. Upon getting aboard the boat another was already aboard that was out on the island to long herself. Jakhal smirked at the sight of him then gave a solemn wave with her paw. He laughed aloud looking to her then waves back. “Good to see another face that I can trust aboard the ship!" He spoke with joy in his voice. She nodded in agreement then walks over to Fe’shi and rubs her body up against his. “Ya, it is a pleasure to see you as well." And with that they both sailed back to the mainland. Upon coming to the mainland they both gave goodbye hugs then set off on their ways. But Fe’shi had his plans all worked out since he was out on the island, to go and see his soul mate. Heads off to the academy. Fe’shi strolls into the dorm section of the academy slowly looking about for any signs of the one he seeks. Looks over towards a directory that stands over besides a flight of stairs that leads up and a set that goes down. Licks his lips slowly and approaches the directory and places his forepaw against it, scanning through for any trace of companion- Okkie. Sighs softly and continues to look to it as other ‘dragons wander past him and go to other rooms in the building. Shakes his head slightly and closes his eye, dragging his paw down off the screen. It appears that she isn’t here…in this building after all. Perhaps I should go elsewhere and look for her. And with that going through his thoughts, Fe’shi steps back from the directory and slowly heads back for the exit that leads out of the building.</font>
<font color='#000000'>"Gah!" Okkie exclaimed as the sudsy shampoo bottle leapt out of her hand and landed with a clatter at the bottom of the shower stall. She bent down to pick it back up, swearing colorfully, and made sure her grip was nice and tight. Sure that it wouldn't jump from her mitts again, the femme then turned the bottle upside down, and squirted a handful of gooey shampoo into her palm. This she lathered into the soft caramel and white fur all over her body, until she was a soapy mess. She even had a wreath of bubbles crowning her cranium. But this was all rinsed away when the she-pendragon stepped under the warm spray of the shower. Okkie made sure the water soaked her pelt, and that she was free of bubbles. She then turned off the faucet, yanked her waiting towel from where it was hung over the rim of the opaque door, and wrapping it around her slim frame, stepped from the stall. As she closed the foggy door behind her with her springy tail, Okkie faced her reflection in the misted bathroom mirror. She opened her mouth and smiled, inspecting her teeth - they needed a good brushing. But that would come after her spikey fur was combed and smoothed down. The female reached for the hairbrush on the sink, and calmly began to stroke it over her entire bodice. It wasn't long before she was damp but sleek, and 'Kie checked herself in the mirror. Satisfied, she then reached for her toothbrush and the tube of Kjats brand toothpaste. It took a few moments, but the final product was grand - two rows of pearly white, glittering daggers. Done with her grooming, the banded youth turned towards the toilet next to the sink - her fresh clothes were stacked on the seat. First, she pulled on some bright red socks, and then a pair of stone-washed denim flares (after she'd put on some cute yellow boxers, of course). Next came the bright blue tee, over which went the white tee with the Janardan logo. She finished off her ensemble with a belt, two tube socks (for her arms, of course), and a headband that all matched - all three had red, yellow, and blue (with intermittent white) stripes. Okkie glanced once again in the mirror, adjusted her white shock of hair, then smiled and sauntered out of the bathroom. "I have to go to my counselor after class today," she murmured as she collected her backpack and stuffed all her supplies into it. "Hm... and I have to remember to ask Mr. Dragyn when his latest worksheets are due." The female stooped momentarily to yank her white tennis shoes onto her feet. "They better not be due today... ha." Humming thoughtfully, Okkie hoisted her backpack over her shoulders. She then grabbed a cup of espresso off her bureau - had Tirran left it before he rushed off to class? - and headed for the door. Her caramel tail of spikes flicked as she disembarked from 8402's confines, and she made sure she locked the door. After jiggling the doorknob to be extra sure, 'Kie then swiveled around and prepared to walk down the hallway and off to class. But something made her freeze - was that who she thought it was?</font>
<font color='#810541'>Fe'shi gazed off into another direction showing the side of his face that had the scared over eye then looked back ahead. Shook his long brown mane then walked down the steps back into the courtyard that acted as an access point for all classes in the academy. Looks about slowly at all the other 'dragons as they headed off to classes and other places to do studies and such. A 'dragon dressed in all white business suit walks up along side Fe'shi and placed his paw on his shoulder. Fe'shi looked to the 'dragon and glared a bit at him. The garyish furred 'dragon looks down on him through shades then shifts his bone wings slightly causing them to pop. "Where are you suppose to be my one-eyed, friend?" Fe'shi reached his hand up and brushed off the teachers hand then steps back a bit from him. "And who the hell are you to ask me of such things you damn freak." Growls slightly and gets into a defensive stance. Sieben shook his head slowly and laughed looking down on Fe'shi. "Dr.Wulf...new teacher of these parts." His voice came out coldly then reaches a paw up removing his shades from his eyes, showing the black lifeless orbs of his to Fe'shi. Places his hands into the pockets of his white jacket and smirks at Fe'shi.</font>
<font color='#000000'>The moment Okkie saw the familiar (or so she thought) pendragon, he slipped out the dormitory wing's doors and out of view. The femme squeaked and shuffled forward, her backpack jostling against her hind side. Her sneakers made muffled slapping noises as she jogged down the carpeted hallway, and she made various noises of frustration and surprise as she ran. Finally, she reached the doorway, and she slid to a halt and peered out. 'Kie's blue oculars darted here and there, and finally landed on - him. So he was here! But he was... with someone else...? Quietly and stealthily, the bipedal female walked down the steps and out of the dormitory building. She didn't call attention to herself as she observed the two males, but her orbs snapped and crackled with a ferocious azure light. She gradually circled to the other side of the pair of males, flicked her tail, and said: "Fe'shi? Is this guy bothering you?" Her voice dripped with subtle hostility as she stared sharply at the stranger.</font>
<font color='#810541'>Fe'shi and Sieben look over at Okkie as she stands there then Sieben looks back to Fe'shi. "Ms Okkie...do you know this young and mistrusted person?" His voice came out as he took the shades back up and placed them on his face slowly. Fe'shi relaxes and stands back up then grins at Okkie, waving his paw above his head. "Well?" Places his hands into the pockets of his coat and looked into her eyes waiting to hear her response. Shakes his head slowly and steps away from the two, then stops beside Okkie waiting to hear her answer. Fe'shi walked up to Okkie then looked to the teacher and sticks out his tongue at him.</font>
<font color='#000000'>The snarl that had been steadily broiling in the female's stomach suddenly clawed up her throat and escaped. It came out as a terrible and enraged hiss, and Okkie's hackles prickled as she sang of her wrath. She never looked away from the unfamiliar adult, and noxious blue oculars pierced his flesh. She didn't know why exactly she felt so much anger towards him, but the fact that he knew her name startled and disconcerted her. I guess this is my way of dealing with potentially dangerous uncertainties, Okkie inwardly mused. Meanwhile, she continued to glare hatefully at the stranger, snarling wickedly, until her quiet roar tapered off and she began to speak. "How do you know my name? Who are you? And why are you bothering my friend? His name is Fe'shi... but that's really none of your goddamn business, is it?" She'd started the whole front of aggression because Okkie had firmly believed a defensive female would alarm any sensible male. It wasn't working well so far, but the she-pendragon did not give up easily. She grabbed at Fe'shi's arm and tried to draw him closer to her, as another round of fresh growls poured from her maw. If I keep this up long enough, maybe this guy will just gett off.</font>
<font color='#810541'>Sieben looked down at her as she showed her attempts of aggression. Smirked as she did this display of power then reached his hand up removing the shade's from his eyes once more. The dark voids of his eyes peered deep within the female's soul and seen her untapped hidden powers. "Well, I happen to know everyone within and on the academy grounds do to the fact of being the second councilor and Elemental Sorcery teacher." Reaches his paw out to her slowly and an erie feeling of evil vibes from his body, that could cause anyone to feel as if being cursed. Looks away from her for a moment as he looks to Fe'shi once more. "I'm Sieben Wulf and I was just asking your 'Friend', where he should be at the time." The darkness of his eyes fades away and they return to a light blue colour as he looks back to Okkie. Fe'shi glared at the other 'dragon and placed his other arm about Okkie's waist slowly then telepaths to her for a short instants. {This guy doesn't seem to be...pendragon my lady. We should just go before anything gets started.} And with that Fe'shi looked over at Okkie out the corner of his eye. Sieben picked up on the little quote about him that Fe'shi made then smirked.</font>
<font color='#000000'>The fierce snarl ended abruptly. For the femme had realized something. He can read minds, Okkie said to herself. She was somewhat astonished - and still angry. Her fury writhed around her stomach. Her insides quivered and they were hot as if the pendragon was a volcano about to burst. This stranger, the filthy bastard. His black eyes can reach inside minds like sticky fingers, reading everything there. He can know, within seconds, every secret thought. To be sure, he is reading my thoughts this very second. Well, I have a message for you - your connection is about to be cancelled. Okkie was not a Spy apprentince for nothing. In her courses of study, she'd learned many useful "worst case scenario" tricks. Some of these practices had been focused upon "what you should do if you are caught and interrogated by the enemy". You set up mental blockades, she hissed triumphantly to herself. I can just block this guy out, no sweat. So, good-bye, sweetheart. With that, the caramel female closed her lucid orbs and concentrated. She'd had so much practice, it didn't take much time or energy before she'd mounted sufficient walls around her mind. When she opened her blues once more, she knew this stranger had no way of groping in her mind again. "You don't know everything. And Fe'shi is right where he's supposed to be. Aren't you, Fe'shi?" Okkie said. She nudged her friend, oblivious that he was trying to send telepathy, due to her blockades. "He's just visiting me, and we're going for a walk in the Courtyard. If you don't mind, or even if you do, we're going to depart from your company now. And don't follow us." These final words slipped like poison from 'Kie's tongue, and she gave the Sorcery teacher one last glare of contempt. She then jabbed Fe'shi in the ribs and began to drag him away from those blank, fathomless eyes.</font>
<font color='#810541'>Sieben smirked as he felt a sudden change in the female's interior, her mind was blocked out from his touch then he shook his head slowly and looked away from her. "Perhaps...you can stop by my office sometime Ms Okkie. And talk about you plans for the future here in the academy then later on it life." With that said Sieben turned away from the two of them then heads off into the crowding of students and vanishes. Fe'shi nodded to Okkie and followed after her slowly being lead about by her arm. He places one of his paws over her arm as she pulls him along then looks over at her as they walk. "So...this is what you do everyday here in the academy, my lady? Just go around to classes?" Looks about slowly at all the other 'dragons of many sizes and colours. Shakes his head slowly and felt as if his mind was poked at with a needle or something sharp. Glares a bit at the ground and looks over at a few 'dragons all dressed in black and seemed to be really out there. "So, are you going to let me hang with you for the rest of the day?" Looks back to Okkie and scratches her arm with one of his claws gently.</font>
<font color='#000000'>A victorious patina shone in Okkie's oculars as she watched the Sorcery teacher finally turn away and walk off. She'd completely ignored what he'd said to her - she didn't want to see neither hide nor hair of him again. All she cared about was her successful mental blockage and the fact that those bottomless black pits had finally looked away from her and Fe'shi. Speaking of, the caramel femme turned to her companion, and smiled lightly at him as they began to plod through the Courtyard. His touch on her arm and the shimmering of his eyes made her feel flattered - was he really so glad just to see her? - and her bottlebrush tail flicked behind her. When his soft voice rang out in inquiry, Okkie tilted her head to one side, pondered, then turned to answer him with a coy chuckle. "Of course... if you want to." Something in 'Kie began to whisper at her, and tendrils of suspicion began to crawl up her legs, as she made this six-word statement. Of course, if you want to, she repeated mentally, and suddenly the the brush of the male's arm against hers, and the soft and adoring light in his eyes, struck the female. She jerked to a stop and blinked. Oh dear... does Fe'shi like me?</font>
<font color='#810541'>Fe'shi comes to a stop and looks back to Okkie as she stands there staring at him. He turns back to her then walks back over to her then takes hold of both of her hands into his. Looks into her eyes with his soft red one and licks his lips slightly. "Are you okay, my lady? Would you like to sit down?" Tilted his head to the side slightly and lifts an ear to hear her response to the question. A sudden rush of feelings cloud his judgement about things then he shakes his head a bit. Stumbles forward a bit and causes himself to collide with Okkie and kiss her on the lips accidently. He opens his eye wide in surprise then drew back away from Okkie feeling somewhat shameful on himself. "Forgive me! Forgive me, my lady it was an accident entirely...", his voice trailed off as he blushed slightly from doing it.</font>
<font color='#000000'>Every muscle in the female's body ceased to function, and her sneakers became glued to the groun. The only thing that worked was her brain - and it was bustling with thought after thought after thought. I think he likes me. Why did I not notice this before? It is so painfully obvious to me now. My arrival makes him nearly weep with joy, and my departure makes him cry with sadness. He is always touching me in subtle ways. He looks as me as if I am the only pendragon in the universe. How could I have not noticed? Her eyelids fluttered and then closed, as Okkie's mind ached with questions and exclamations. I hope it is only a mere crush. But Fe'shi does not seem like the type to waste his feelings on something as petty as a crush. Oh boy. How could I not - ? The terrifying and awkward thoughts would have continued on like this, for who knows how long, except that at that precise moment, Okkie felt something stumble into her, and she also felt the adjoining brush on her lips. Her blue eyes snapped open and a fierce cry of mingling alarm and anger bubbled in her throat. She only had enough energy left over to barely muffle this noise, and she gazed - in shock - at Fe'shi. "I... you... my gosh. Fe'shi. Do you like me? You like me. How could I be so blind? I'm... I'm so sorry..." The next sentence came out as if on accident, and she froze as soon as it slipped out, trembling with embarrassment and guilt: "I... I don't like you. I l-like someone else!"</font>
<font color='#810541'>Sudden as the last quote came from her lips his eye blasted open and he just felt as if the world was colapsing inward on him. A shadow dormed over his head just then and caused a sharp and unwanted pain to rain through out his heart and mind. Fe'shi draws back his hands from Okkie and threw them up into the air as if he just comitted a crime or something like it. How could have you been so dumb Wong, falling for a girl that was just going to tear you apart when you buildup the courage to go through with showing yourself to her. But now it all just comes crashing down on you! Fe'shi shakes his head and turns away from Okkie with a sudden pain and somewhat of hatred for her now. Reached a hand up infront of his face then closes his eye, just as a red glowing tear comes down from side of his face.</font>
<font color='#000000'>Wow, that did not come out right. Not to mention, it was a half-lie. Her whole body sighed. Okkie clenched her eyes shut and attempted to block out the world - fruitlessly of course. She took a deep breath and tried to regain function of her limbs, and then her blue orbs peeled open once again. They fell upon Fe'shi, who had turned away, and the femme knew instantly that his body and soul was wracked with pain. She could feel more than see the tears swimming within his spirit. "I'm sorry, Fe'shi. That came out wrong. You're one of my favorite pendragons. I'm just... not interested in a romantic relationship. With anybody, I mean. Oh... damn it. There's no way I can justify myself or explain. And it's not like you'd listen to me. Just... just know I'm sorry for hurting you, Fe'shi..." She couldn't deal with this anymore. She needed time to think, to ponder, to mull over her darkest thoughts and feelings. Thus, Okkie also turned away, and began to walk crisply back towards the subterranean dormitories. She still felt heavy, and now weighed down with guilt... and as she disappeared into the doorway, she was just glad that the soul-sucking Sieben was not around to mock her inner weaknesses.</font>
<font color='#810541'>Fe'shi felt a sudden rush of angry build up inside him then he begins to walk off towards the courtyard. Comes to a hall where it goes to the yard and a few other places then he begins to walk close to the walls. Roars aloud and slammed his fist into the wall causing the stone to give way and leave a hole where he did it. Steps away from the wall and blood flows from busted knuckles on his hand as he walks towards the courtyard. Comes out of the hall and into the yard where he greets Sieben standing there staring at the grasses as the wind blows across them and causes a swaying of the blades. He took a quick sniff of the air then looks up from the grass feeling thoughts of angry and pain coming from Fe'shi as he comes into the yard. Sieben looked over his shoulder at Fe'shi as he drops down beside a tree in the courtyard leaning back against it holding his head. Sieben walks over to him then leans back against the tree standing there and places his hands into his coat pockets. "So, she when out and told you that she didn't like you, huh?" Laughs a bit and shakes his head slowly. Fe'shi growled lowly and cursed Sieben then told him to back off. "Comeon my dear boy...she wasn't interested in a relationship with you from the start of it all. I mean all that nonsense about your two fates being intangled with one and another was nothing but a load of meanless words." Sieben then drawed a black card that contained a spell of terror then he tosses it out and the card sticks into the ground infront of Fe'shi. Sieben pushes off the tree then heads towards the dorms whisling as he goes. "You have my card...come to my office sometime if you want to talk with me." Sieben vanished and Fe'shi reached out his hand taking hold of the card from the ground. Brings it up and looks at the symbol that it showed. Shaked his head slowly then placed the card against his head as he continued to think.</font>
