- Helios - Side: Mystras - /w Aura - Helios sighed softly, content to see Aura smiling again. The death of Auron was a blow to never recover from. To shatter her inside out despite all of her hardships so far, and yet she still persisted. "You and Henry both remind me why I fell in love with humanity, you know?" Helios hummed, chuckling a bit. "You refuse to stay behind. You adapt to change as fast as it comes to you. You are a very stubborn species and persist even when the odds are against you...I'm glad I crossed the barrier that night." Helios admitted. Yes, hardships came and went. Many lives were lost, scars were gained, some that would never heal. But in the end, Helios couldn't help but to feel that it was the right thing all along. That all of the pain would end up bringing up a brighter future. One of what it should have always been. Sure, there would be pain and troubles, but that was part of growing. You can't learn to walk if you're too afraid to fall. Helios knelt down, picking up one of the fruit. "We can bring some of these back to camp. Keep it for a midnight snack or treat. These would do good with some milk, too." Helios said, spinning the fruit in his hand. "Oh, I have another idea! Let's save some seeds! You guys can bring them with you back home. You can plant it and have the very first Overworld tree on Earth! That's some nice bragging rights right there." Helios said, picking up some more of the fruit. "Oh?" Helios tilted his head, looking as a shadow ran past the roots of the tree. As it stepped into the light, it was none other than a Jackalope. Oh the irony. "We won't take all of them." Helios assured, gently rolling one of them on the grass towards the creature. The Jackalope stared at it before beginning to munch, a few babies hurrying over to do the same. "Hey, Aura, if I may ask, what will you do when the war is over? When we are allowed to return home?"

Michael fell into the water along with the monster. The Afnac was quick to recover from the hit, its eyes widening as Michael looked up at it. The Afnac went after him for the kill. Michael rose his hands up, grasping the top and bottom of the creature's mouth and holding it away from him, keeping the creature from opening its mouth any further. He struggled, the creature growling as it attempted to knock Michael out. The creature pushed Michael deeper down, slamming him into the bottom of the springs as Michael struggled to keep its mouth shut. If he were to let go, he was done for. The aquatic creatures chased after the monster, beginning to stab at it with tridents. The creature roared in pain, finally letting go of Michael as it tried to eat the attackers. Michael swam up to the surface, coughing for air as he surfaced. He swam to the edge, coughing as he could feel the discomfort of the bright sun on his skin. "Michael!" Lynn said, hurrying over to help him up. Michael, however, went straight for Allan, holding him by the shoulders. "Are you hurt?" He asked, concern in his eyes. Then they narrowed. "We need to hurry back inside. This is just a distraction for something bigger!" Michael said, wincing as he hurried to his feet, looking at Lynn in the eyes. "Where is the centaur girl that Allan was with?" Michael asked. Yet, just like that, Maya was out of sight. "Where is her dorm located?" He asked. "It should be 214 in the girl's dorm...you think she has to do with this?! She's only a child!" Lynn asked, Michael hurrying up to the academy. "That's all she needs to be. Allan, lets go!"

Helios: But...But...I didn't develop my abilities till 5...i can't possibly count

I originally didn't pair Helios with anyone, seeing him more of the type to be a forever wanderer who will travel from place to place, stop to write and publish a book of his findings and move on. He cares deeply for Aura, regardless. Hey, it's ok! Life comes first, ok? So don't orry. Sort what you need to sort out first. You got it buddy.

- ??? - "Your wishes have been granted. Yet, you do not seem satisfied." "It isn't enough. I thought it would be, but it isn't." "Then what would you wish to do?" "Tomorrow we will have a Recreation Day by the springs. There is something I hope you are able to do." "Then so it shall be, for your wish is my command." - Present - The students enjoyed their chance of play in the water. They played games, splashing water at each other playfully. Some took sunbaths. Many of them were in different groups playing Marco Polo around the water. For this one, Maya was it, her eyes closed as she swam around, looking for people. "Marco?" Maya asked. "Polo!" Some of the students responded. Maya began to swim around, the students giggling as they barely avoided getting tagged by Maya. She eventually got a hold of Allan, hugging him as she finally opened her eyes. "Got you!" She giggled. "You're it, Samael!" Jocelin called, quickly swimming away. Ren used his tail to splash at Allan before swimming around him. Inside, Michael rubbed his eyes as he searched through the videos once more. He was about to take a break until something finally caught his eye. "...huh?" Michael quickly began to type, clicking over at the video before pulling up other videos, pausing them at a specific time. "It can't be, can it?" Michael hummed, his eyes narrowing. Meanwhile, while all of this happened, in the depths of the springs, among one of its hidden caverns, a portal suddenly opened up. "Oh large being, heed my call. My master has made a wish, therefor come forth, and finish them all." From the portal, a large figure slithered right into the lake. It was enormous, its bright eyes scanning the area as it swam out of the portal. Once it did, the portal closed behind it, leaving no trace as it let the creature, the Afanc, loose in the student infested waters. As it made its way out of the cave, it was first spotted by a group of the aquatic students, who were quick to scream under the water and swim off as fast as they could. Those who saw them followed their lead, only a few stopping to reach the surface and warn the others. "GET OUT OF THE WATER!!!" One siren screamed at the top of her lungs, catching the attention of both students and staff alike. The student swam frantically, waving at them. "You have to get out!!!" She screamed. "It's an Afna-!" The student would never get to finish her statement, as from beneath her, the giant creature leaped up from the water, jaws opened as it swallowed the student whole, snapping its jaws tight. Once the creature made itself known, panic ensued, students screaming for their lives as they began to scatter. Maya was quickly swimming, Ren swimming off to the aquatic exits. Jocelin was frozen in fear, her body shaking as she watched the Afnac roar into the air. Once he heard the screams, Michael dropped everything and ran as fast as he could to the outside. He ran to the edge balcony, his eyes widening at the sight of the creature. "No!" Michael screamed. He looked around, his eyes sharpening. There was no time to take the long way down. He needed to get down there. Now. He kicked off his shoes and socks, throwing his jacket behind him as he climbed the balcony ledge, staring down at the creature as he calculated the fall. "Here goes nothing!" Michael said, jumping off the balcony and right into the abyss, straight to the area of the springs and the monster. For a mere mortal, this fall would be fatal. But he was a vampire, a legendary being, and dammit, he wasn't going to hold back. Michael's pupils sharped and glowed, allowing himself to use his true strength as he aimed a punch at the creature. Just as he fell, he landed a punch right on the creature's head, a loud crack echoing across the air as the creature was punched straight back into the water, Michael falling with it.

I laughed way too hard at this, not gonna lie

- Helios - Side: Mystras - /w Aura - "There is a lot of places left to explore in your world. If you'd like, we could visit them all one day." Helios offered, smiling as he did. His smile softened, however, when he saw the tears fall from Aura's face. Helios reached his hands out, gently rubbing Aura's tears away from her eyes. "You're my friend. To see that smile, I'd go over the moon and back." He picked up one of the flowers from Aura's bouquet, carefully pushing some hair behind Aura's ear before placing the flower there. "Life isn't fair. It's the way it's always been. Whether we be animals, Fey, or humans. But that is what makes it beautiful. We are able to feel. From love, to pain. Without it, we wouldn't be able to learn. It is how the soul grows, even if it hurts so much." Helios said, offering his thoughts. In all of his years of life, he didn't truly understood it until he met the humans. Until they crossed the barrier, and all of this started. Even with so much death, so much pain, so much good had also come along in return. Helios then gently reached his hands out again, holding Aura's head before placing a kiss on her forehead. "You're not alone, Aura. Every memory, every emotion, it's all proof that you were never alone, and that you won't be." Helios allowed himself to drop down from the branch, landing on his feet before standing up to face Aura. "I did promise I'd take you around Kilkis Seres and all of the other awesome places I know, you know. So don't you worry. You won't ever be alone anymore. Not now, not ever. I promise." Helios said, smiling as he offered his pinky finger for a promise.

- Helios - Side: Mystras - /w Aura - Helios perked his head up, nodding. "Flowers it is then!" Helios said, quickly and carefully jumping off from Aura's shoulder, transforming back into his regular form right before landing on the floor. "Let's go and find us a nice patch." Helios said, gently taking Aura's hand in his as the two made their way across the camp and into the forest area, opposite way of the bloodied plains. The scent of blood still lingered in the air, attracting all kinds of scavenger animals over in search of food. The scent of flowers would do well for a change. Luckily, in an area like this, flowers weren't uncommon to find. Helios looked up as they walked in between the trees, focusing on his senses hoping to sniff some out. "Hm...this way." Helios said, pointing forward as they walked further in. "It's strange for the forest to be quiet." He admitted. "But even the beings of this land loved the queen dearly." He hummed, glancing around. They all still hid. Not that he blamed them. Helios stopped, spotting a patch of a few wildflowers, more of them leading up ahead to a large fruit tree in bloom, which had even more flowers on its branches. They shimmered with a hue in the sunlight like glass, almost transparent. "I'll get us a few of those!" Helios said, letting go of Aura as he ran to the tree, he landed his hands on it, only to transform into a monkey and hurry up the tree with ease. He shook the branches, allowing some flowers and fruit to fall off from them and onto the ground below. He crawled over one branch, quickly picking up a bunch of the flowers, as many as his hand could carry. He then transformed back into his human form, wrapping his feet around the branch, holding on before allowing himself to swing upside down so he could face Aura, a few leaves in his hair. "A bouquet for the lady! A bunch more and we could make flower crowns."

This project was rigged there's just no other explanation

- Helios - Side: Mystras - /w Aura - Helios chuckled at her reaction, simply nodding. He purred slightly as she rubbed his chin. He looked up at her, focusing on her expression. She didn't seem to be as cheerful as other days. Was she getting sick? "Then let us do something to make you feel better." Helios offered, quickly thinking of what they could do. "I'm sure there's some wildflowers in the nearby edges of the forest. Maybe we can collect some. There's also Lord Raiden's garden, though I don't think he would appreciate of us plucking his up." Helios suggested. Flowers were always a good way to cheer someone up. Their sweet scent alone usually made people smile. Unless they were allergic. "There's also a library, or maybe a nap will do you better? The animals are in mourning of the Queen's death, but I'm sure I can coerce one or two rabbits to come by if you need to pet some too." He paused, before looking up. "Though, if you aren't feeling well, maybe we should ask a doctor to see you just in case?"

Saros sighed. "Then it's settled." He said, turning to Moana. "Is there a way we can borrow your people's ships?" He asked. "The ships of my people aren't built to withstand the waters beyond the line...but I know a place that does." Moana said, smirking as he gestured for them. "Come along, I'll show you! We can sail out together!" She said. "Understood." Saros looked over at the team. "Alright, this is where we divide ourselves. One group takes to the air, and the rest will sail alongside Moana." Saros looked up at Ghost and his team. "Be careful up there." He said, before turning back to Moana. "Please, lead us." Saros asked. Moana nodded, hurrying off into the forest, towards the mountain range. Saros was quick to follow. Moana ended up leading them up to the mountain, and right into a previously sealed off cavern. Using a torch, Moana led them inside to reveal the cave hidden behind the waterfall, full of all kinds of sailing ships, from all kinds of sizes and sails. Saros could feel his breath being cut short, gulping loudly. He couldn't swim, and now he was about to go on a boat. Wonderful. "I've already chosen this one." Moana said as she pointed at one whose sail had a swirl design on it. "Do you know how to sail?" She asked. "We...can adapt." Saros hummed, looking around at the boats. "I think 2 to 3 people per boat should be fine. Start partnering up." Saros suggested. He didn't mean to sound bossy, but the nerves wrecking inside of him really just wanted to get this over with. He hurried over to one boat with a flowery design on its sail, beginning to push it towards the water. "We'll be right behind you, Moana. Just leave the Heartless to us."

Michael didn't sleep in the night, spending all of it on the computer, reviewing and separating the video files in hopes of finding something to provide them a lead. "Be careful. I'll let you know if I find anything. This being a lake, I should have no problems crossing anywhere as long as it's away from the waterfall. However, Dhampir are not constricted to the whole running water thing, so you should be fine." Michael said, his eyes never leaving the screen. He paused when Allan gave him a kiss on the cheek before running off. Michael turned to him. "Remember, Dhampir can eat human food! Don't let anyone try and feed you blood!" Michael yelled for him. In the lunch room, everyone was in a good mood. They were all smiling and chatting, especially those in the aquatics area, who seemed ecstatic to be given the chance to swim outside of the school perimeter. "Samael, you're here!" Maya called as she walked over to the table alongside with Jocelin and Ren, the three looking rather happy themselves such as with everyone else. "Are you excited?" Maya asked. Jocelin walked over to Allan. "He should be. He just arrived and he already has a day out for a swim! I need that kind of luck myself." Jocelin said. Ren sighed. "If anything I'm happy that Viola isn't going to show up. We can finally have peace and quiet for once." Ren admitted. Maya looked over at Allan. "Dear Viola can't swim. So she'll be staying inside, which means more fun for us!" Maya said cheerfully. Soon, the PA system began to speak. "Students we are happy to announce that the outer perimeters are officially open for you to enjoy for the day! Land students may exit through the main entrance down to the beach area. Aquatics students may use the entrance provided for you at the bottom of your dorms! Turn in time shall be at 6 PM. Enjoy your day!" The PA system spoke. Maya and Ren cheered loudly. "Let's go lets go!" Maya said, barely able to contain herself as the students all began to get up and hurry outside. "Did you bring a swimsuit, Samael?" Jocelin asked.

- Helios - Side: Mystras - /w Henry - Helios listened, his ears perking up as he watched the owl arrive to deliver the letter. "(Jynn.)" Helios thought, watching the owl come and go before Raiden finished his statements. No one in Mystras were to instigate any further violence with Kilkis Seres. Jynn, it would seem, wished to speak with Raiden, and hopefully of peace. Helios smiled a bit, wagging his tail. Maybe he could sneak into the meeting? Of course, the responsible part of him insisted to no, that is not what you do. But he wished to greet Jynn again, regardless. "(Keep your head up. We're almost there.)" Helios thought. He blinked as he looked down at Henry. He wished to be able to help Lord Raiden, but he alone had some of the most powerful allies under his command. Helios might only get in the way. "I'll remain with Aura, then. Be careful, Henry." Helios said, quickly crawling off Henry's head before jumping from his arm right onto Aura's shoulders. "Not everyone will be agreeing with Raiden, but all we can do is wait until further orders and be wary of those around us. Anger can make people do stupid things." Helios hummed as he rested on Aura's shoulders, looking up to her. "We have a while before any further orders. Up for some flying lessons?" Helios teased, wagging his tail in amusement as he did. - Arthur - Side: Mystras - /w Alderon, Draksis, and Alex - Arthur listened, smiling softly as he watched the owl deliver the message. A possible peace treaty, perhaps? The death of the queen would no doubt had caused turmoil among Kilkis Seres, especially to the prince himself. Did he hope to find the peace his mother attempted to that night? To find out what happened to her? ...or did he hope to return the favor? He looked at Alex, smiling. "Maybe this war could end in peace...if we hope enough." Arthur said, lowering his hands as he looked back up. Should he tell them about the training? He felt that he should. For one, it would be good for them to know what he is up to in case they needed him. "Um, sir Draksis." Arthur began, glancing up at him. "I must be excused tonight. I...sir Alastor has offered me some training, and I cannot pass the opportunity." Arthur said cheerfully, smiling softly, all while leaving out the whole 'electricity coming out of my body' part of the training. "I thought it'd be best to let you know, in case you needed me." He added, getting his hands behind his back as he looked back up at the stage where Raiden stood. "Though, if everything goes well, I can guess that there might be a peace treaty by the time I'm done. Or hope, at the very least." Arthur said, lowering his gaze as he glanced up at the king. "O-Oh! Yes, your majesty! We were thinking, though it might not be easily possible...maybe we could find a way to deliver letters back home? Being able to send at least one letter to their families and loved ones would certainly boost the morale of the men. Even more if they receive one in return."

So...who would be interested in a Destiny rp or...

Michael took his jacket back, looking over at Allan. "Blush? I just gave you a kiss on the cheek? That's what siblings do? My parents kiss me on the cheek, and so do my siblings? I've seen other humans kiss each other on the kiss. Is it not that much of a human thing anymore?" Michael asked, sounding profoundly confused at Allan's complain. He folded his jacket neatly before putting it away. "Regardless, I need to talk to you about something, and I need to show you the information I've gathered." Michael said as he walked over to the bed, sitting down as he set his laptop down next to him. "I didn't think the tensions between half-breeds and monsters were so bad. Well, I've always lived among human populations, so I guess I cannot judge, can I?" Michael sighed, looking over at Allan. "City living makes you accustomed to humans. Living isolated from them, however, because you cannot be among them, that can't possibly help in the process of accepting them." Michael hummed. "(I don't think humanity is even ready for us yet.)" He thought, gently shaking his head before returning to the laptop. "I've been going over the records and the recordings of the incidents. The incidents began shortly after the beginning of the year. I'm going to have to review every recording of every incident and see if there's any correlation in between them, because so far from what I've seen, they all could be classified as isolated incidents if it weren't for the fact that it was by the same mysterious culprit." Michael said as he looked at the files. He looked over at Allan. "As for you, I need you to keep a look out for anything suspicious, no matter how small. If you think something's up, just call me or something, ok?" Michael asked as he looked at him. "And no challenging anyone to a fight. As a Dhampir, they expect for you to be able to cast magic. I don't want anyone trying to prove that to be true, alright?" Michael asked as he looked back down. "Also, I heard tomorrow they're opening the springs for a swim day. I did you a favor and picked out a pair of swim trunks for you. You can go ahead and sleep, if you wish. I'll be staying up working on these."

Jocelin looked up, taking Allan's hand as she stood. "Hello...I'm Jocelin." The young demon said, quickly turning to face her friends. Maya seemed to be at the verge of years while she worried over Ren, who seemed to be more annoyed over the fact that his uniform had gotten wet. "You're a Dhampir? So, you're like us?" Jocelin asked, looking up at him. Viola seemed annoyed. "Seriously?" Viola asked, crossing her arms towards Samael. "Samael, you're interacting with the half-bloods! If you're not careful they'll cover you in human stench!" She insisted. Jocelin's tail wagged angrily as she growled, showing off her fangs. "Don't trust them, Samael, they are bullies to half-bloods!" Jocelin said, pointing at them. "I'm giving you a chance, Samael. Being a Dhampir is a game changer. You're extremely unique, and you're half-vampire. That makes you more vampire than human...unless you consider yourself to be more human than Vampire?" Jocelin asked, glaring as her snake heads hissed. Among the hall, the students simply watched. Some half breeds seemed to turn away from the discussion, avoiding to make themselves a target. Ren swam to the edge of the pool, pulling himself up so he could point at Viola. "Shut it snake-head! You're the only one here who has a problem with half-breeds attending the school!" Ren yelled. Viola growled loudly, her snakes hissing even louder as her friends stood up in case of an encounter. Quickly, however, Michael showed up with Lynn. "What is going on here?!" Lynn asked, and just like that the hall went quiet. Viola was quick to respond, however. "I dropped my mouse and Maya freaked out over it. Poor thing went on a rampage." Viola explained. "Yup. Couldn't really stop a rampaging centaur." Noah added. Michael looked around as Lynn looked at Maya. "Mya, is that the truth?" Lynn asked. Maya thought about it for a moment, before nodding. "Yes. I'm sorry...mice scare me." Maya said lowering her ears. Jocelin was about to speak, but bit her tongue, looking away. Lynn sighed. "Everyone is to leave for clean up. Effective; now." Lynn said. Quickly everyone began to pick up their stuff and leave. Viola glared at Allan. "You've chosen a side. Good luck, half-breed." With that, she and her friends left. Lynn could feel a headache rising. "I didn't know the tensions of the full breed and half-breed issue still existed." Michael admitted. "They shouldn't. But some kids...are quite ruthless about it. One thing is to put a stop to it...another thing is to actually being able to if the student doesn't say anything." Lynn said. "I noticed." Michael said, getting a hand to his chin as he watched Maya chat up with Ren by the pool area. He turned, quickly handing Allan a lunch bag. "Here you go. Don't...get into trouble." Michael said, sighing at the end as he leaned in to his ear. "I'll do some digging and message you anything I find. Until then, see what you can find...and dammit, stop getting yourself into trouble." Michael whispered, gently placing a kiss on his cheek before standing up and turning to Lynn. "Right. Let us return?" "Lets." Lynn and Michael walked away. Jocelin looked up at Michael as her tail formed in the shape of a heart, looking over to Allan. "Who's he?" She asked, before shaking her head. "And...thanks for standing up for us. Though now I worry that you'll be a target too."

I thank you for your suggestion but again I still don't comprehend

I've been staring at my hw for the past 10 minutes and I still don't comprehend

To Allan: Really? A Dhampir? What are you? My kid now??? Anyways, Dhampir's can eat human food. It won't hurt your image. I'll drop by and bring you food, regardless. The young girl with snakes in her hair pointed at herself. "My name is Viola Feri. These are my friends, Jesina, a Harpy and Noah, a skin-walker." Viola explained as she pointed at herself proudly. "As you can see, I am a Gorgon." She said as the snakes in her hair hissed in union. "You're lucky, Samael. You've just made friends with the coolest kids in the entire academy! You'll have to earn our trust and respect, though. But for a Dhampir, a half-vampire, that shouldn't be much of a problem, now would it?" Viola asked as she proceeded to eat. She picked up a dead mouse from her plate, before throwing it into the air, one of her snakes catching it and swallowing it whole. Noah looked over at Samael. "Cassio, as in the hospitals? No wonder you're here! I would be surprised if you were forced to attend at a human school." Noah said. Viola groaned. "Yeah, that does sound boring." Viola agreed. She glanced over, smirking as she saw someone in the distance. "Hey, Jesina." Viola said, pointing at someone. Jesina looked up, chuckling to herself. Into the hall walked three students; Maya Oliva, a female centaur, Jocelin Karplus, a demon, and Ren Badot, a merman who wore the top of the school uniform, resting on Maya's back as she carried him everywhere. "Hey, Noah." Viola rose a mouse corpse from her plate. "Let's see how high can that merman go?" She asked. Noah smiled. "Yes mam." He poked the mouse, suddenly disappearing as he transferred himself into the corpse. As he possessed it, the mouse came to life, jumping off from Viola's hands as it jumped from the table and down to the floor. Viola was quick to clear her throat. "Maya! What's that around your feet? Is that a mouse?" Viola asked as Maya walked by, loudly as she smiled. "Huh?" Maya asked, looking down around her hooves. Just as she did, Noah ran to her, running up her leg as he looked at her with big eyes. That's when hell broke loose as it went in chain reaction. Maya's eyes widened, screaming loudly in horror as she began to stomp the ground beneath, moving around desperately. "GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!" Maya screamed. Ren struggled to remain on as Maya shifted wildly. "M-Maya!!!" Ren called, Jocelin trying her best to calm her friend down. Maya ended up jumping, trying to get the mouse off her, which ended up sending Ren flying right into the air. "Ren!!!" Jocelin yelled, running over to catch him. Instead Ren ended up falling into the pool area, saving him from a nasty fall, but in turn creating a huge splash which ended up splashing high into the air and getting multiple tables and their students wet. Jocelin, while trying to get Ren, ran right into another student, the two falling over and knocking another table over. Maya screamed at the verge of tears, her hind legs kicking a table behind her, sending the table flying and crashing a few feet away right into another table, students running for cover. Noah eventually got off, leaving the corpse behind as he returned to his seat almost in a teleporting matter. Maya eventually calmed down when she didn't feel the mouse, but once she saw its corpse, she screamed again, jumping onto the nearest table to get away from it. By this point, Viola and Jesina were in tears with laughter. "Bet you don't see this in human schools, huh?"

I can only think of one letter to a character right now Dear Midnea, Meet me in the pit, scrub Not-so-warm regards, Arthur

Right, sorry! My apologies. Will fix it right away.

Luckily, Allan agreed with the plan. Principal Lynn agreed with it as well, providing Allan with a uniform and a school map. They would be investigating together, all while separate. "You know to call me in case of anything. You can make up a fake name to pretend, if you see it fit. You need to decide what kind of creature you are going to be. You can't be jumping around back and forth in claims or else they'll get suspicious. If you need to use my last name, I won't mind." Michael teased as he handed Allan a piece of paper. "Your 'dorm' will be with me in a guest room in the faculty wing. This is the room number, so you don't forget it. Be careful. I'll be around investigating through the staff and other parts prohibited to the students." Michael said. He didn't expect for Allan to pull him over so closely, and in all honesty, expected a kiss, not for him to steal his jacket. "H-Hey!" Michael yelled. He groaned, waving at him. "Contact me if anything!" And like that, Allan was gone. Allan would've reached the dinning hall. It was huge, with long tables stretching across the entire hall, offering seats to up to 100 students at a time. In one area, separated by a railing was the water area for the aquatic students. The ramp led to the deep pool area fitted with built in tables for them to swim up and eat. It was full, students chattering as they sat at their tables in groups. If Allan was looking for people to talk to, there were more than enough. "You again?" A familiar voice chimed in. Behind Allan stood the girl from earlier, along with the boy and the girl as well. "I thought I told you to scram off!" She said, crossing her arms as her snakes hissed at Allan in union. The boy sniffed Allan, before gasping and hiding behind the snake-haired girl. "H-He smells different! He smells-!" He began, but the other girl finished his thoughts. "Like a vampire." She gasped. The leader glanced at their eyes before looking back down at Allan. "You smelled human earlier...a Dhampir?"

Arthur while beat up: We must...deliver the package...they...paid extra for priority-delivery

- Arthur - Side: Mystras Rebellion - w/ Alastor - Private Meeting at Alastor's Tent - Arthur’s heart pounded as he faced Alastor, a single bead of sweat dripping from his brow. He braced himself to get punched again, in all honestly, but was glad to see Alastor seemed to become amused by his resistance instead. He warned Arthur, however, that the training would be rigorous, and possibly deadly. Arthur chuckled softly at the irony, his eyes softening as he looked up at Alastor. “Being a knight means facing danger every day. By this point, death is no stranger to any of us, Alastor. Not even me.” He assured, quickly straightening up as the sparks wore off him, finally able to relax momentarily as he followed Alastor out of the tent. "Thank you, Alastor. I'll meet with you later on...until then." Arthur said as the two returned to the medical tent. It was still as gloomy and as silent as when he had left. He excused himself from Alastor, quickly returning to his group's side. He proceeded to hurry next to them quickly, smiling at them for a moment before returning his gaze at Raiden. His hand went back to his chest. Death. He had been facing it for the past months in the face and never once thought about it. Not until Alastor brought it up. It was terrifying to think and yet...he couldn't help but to feel for it to be a mere challenge in his path. The thought of Midnea still free and wondering about made his blood boil...but maybe this training would give him the key to the solution he sought. It had to be. What else was there? "(I'll get you, Midnea. Even if it kills me...you won't get away with it. Not again.)"
