RP - The Mythic Age V2

♫➠♫➠♫ Mizuki Aoki ❀➠❀➠❀​

By the time people started to disperse from the feast in the Great Hall, Mizu had arrived at the lifts at the dormitories, only to release that the lifts weren't working, after she had spammed the Up button several hundred times.

Only one option remained. Take the stairs...

*20 Minutes later*

Huffing and puffing like an old man with asthma, she finally arrived at her dorm room.

On the ground lay Melody, mouth open face down on the ground.

Rooted to the spot for 20 seconds, she finally snapped out of her daze and rushed to help her.
She slapped her face softly, attempting to wake her up, but Melody's face expression was rather disturbing, and the deep sleep she was in was most likely the reason that she didn't wake up even after Mizuki had tripped and dropped her when attempting to pull her into the dormitory room.

She heaved Melody onto the bed before ripping the bed sheets out from underneath her and tucking her basically unconscious body in.

Mizuki panted like a dog as she threw herself upon her own bed. However, strange sounds appeared from Melody. She turned to see Melody rolling around, a terribly uneasy expression written across her face. Visible beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead.

After shutting the door, she grabbed a hand towel and rinsed it with cold water before placing it over Melody's hot forehead. The unsightliness of Melody's clothing broke a chord in Mizu's brain.

She had to fix it. She just had to.

Finally, 20 minutes later, after cleaning an unconscious Melody with a bath towel and changing her into her sleep clothes, she finally fell asleep, snoring on her knees, her head lying on her arms on the side of Melody's bed.

She dreamt of sweet tea and peaceful days in a small garden.

 

Sebastian held the knife in his right hand, the fork in his left. Just like he was taught to. Instinctively, he also straightened his back. Just like he was taught to. His father had always been big on good manners and proper etiquette, unlike the person on the other table. Once, he swore, he saw a whole chicken sent flying by... that thing! Somewhat shocked, he neatly cut into the turkey, steam rising from it as he did. He gave off the air of a rich nobleman, because in a way he was. He was to inherit his father's company, instead of his older brother, Ryan. And he hates Sebastian for it.

After finishing his meal, he stayed to talk to the people on his table. He was particularly interested in a girl called Sarah, her low cut shirt and high riding miniskirt being a major factor.
"So, what classes are you in?" she asked, leaning closer.
"Oh, uh, I don't know," Sebastian confessed, managing to say it without any stumbling.

When over 3 quarters of the students had decided to leave, Sebastian decided to go as well. Saying bye to everyone, he wandered back to his dorm. Bye now, it was dark, and he relied of the lights that lit up the paths to guide him back. Finally at his dorm, he changed his pants and removed his shirt, marveling at the feeling of his wings being free. He checked the time on his phone. Instead of going straight to bed, he walked onto the balcony. The breeze chilled him, but he didn't care. The view was beautiful. Sebastian sighed. For once, he was free from his father.

After standing out there for who knows how long, he came inside. Climbing into bed, he soon fell asleep.

 

Gabriel almost instantaneously forgetting about his counter with the somewhat brutish teacher as his nose filled by the smells of various food and drink laid on the table. Gabriel found a random seat near the end of the table, a plate and cutlery already laid out for him with plenty of food in arms reach. He sat down not caring to look at those sat next to him knowing that he knew non of them.

Gabriel begun to fill his plate with food, trying to get a sizable portion of everything he could reach, It had been months since he had a home-cooked meal. Due to traveling around so much it was very rare he wasn't eating take away or premade sandwiches, the last time he had ate something this good was when Thro had pressured him into doing some work at a farm for a old woman who's husband had recently died. She insisted that he could stay the night in her guest room and have a meal as she hadn't gotten out of the habit of cooking for two, Thro tried to protest and convince Gabriel to continue traveling, this was the first time Thro went silent. It somewhat saddened Gabriel to be reminded about her as he wanted to stay there with her for a while, however he had been followed there and consequently he found himself been woken by Thro who had begun talking again due to the impending danger, he was stood upon a hill overlooking the farm, Thro had took him here when the danger had gotten close however he didn't save the old woman, all Gabriel could see was her house surrounded in crimson flames.

After clearing his plate Gabriel wiped his mouth and headed to his room despite everyone still eating. He decided to go straight to sleep saddened by the memories he had rediscovered and wanted to get a good nights sleep before tomorrow.

 

~The night passed with little development, and then the sun started to peek over the trees breaking through with glorious sunlight. The day would be eventful. Indeed it would be.

 

Sebastian woke up to the sun in his eyes. He was still tired from the long train ride. Groaning, he checked the time on his phone. 9:55, it read. He threw off his doona and checked his timetable. Squinting, he read, stopping as when he reached the time, "Elven Writing 10:00am-11:55am."

...

FUCK!

Panicking as his dilemma set in, Sebastian grabbed the first shirt and pants that he saw out of his suitcase and ran into the bathroom. He struggled as he tried to slip out of his pants while slipping on his black 'Rolling Stones' shirt. He had no idea whether Gabriel was still in the dorm. He didn't care. He just wanted to get change, get out and find his classroom, wherever it is. After winning a fight with his shoe laces while pulling up his jeans, he raced out of the bathroom, almost running into someone.

 

Gabriel after been awakened by beams of strong sunlight beaming through his curtains as he failed to draw them fully last night. He headed to the balcony and looked out upon the forest, after seeing the the bore from yesterday even for the short time he did, he could see the distress in the animals eyes and knew there must be something lurking in there waiting to strike again. Gabriel decided not to dwell on it too much and headed back to his bedroom to get changed.

Flicking his scarf over his shoulder he exited the room trying to close the door as quietly as possible to avoid waking Sebastian or any others down the corridor, Gabriel used this chance to head down the cantine. Luckily for him there were trays of toast and various other foods which seemed to have been left there for the taking of the students. Gabriel grabbed a few slices of toast and left in-case he wasn't supposed to have. After spending the best part of a hour sat on a bench leisurely eating the toast a large bell chimed above from one of the larger towers on the school.
"It must be time for the first lesson" Gabriel thought to himself as he remembered he had 'Summoning and Demonology' which for obvious reasons Gabriel assumed he'd be good at.

9:45am: ...SNORE...

 

Dramoria woke up with a start, and had to think were he was too finally realize that he was at the school. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was 5:55 a.m. He had plenty of time before classes begin so he got up and got around. Yesterday's events were still in his head as he took a shower. He felt fine and he looked okay, the disease must not taken it's toll. By the time he was ready for the day, it was 8:46 a.m. He opened his door and locked it as he walked down the stairs, and then out of the building. He wanted to see what was happening in the world so he went to the cafeteria so find some grub. By the time he got the cafeteria it was 9:15 a.m. He went over to the kitchen and got in line, the food looked good so he got some breakfast sausage and went over to a bench conveniently near a TV which had some news channel going on. The news group was talking about the whether turtle could be classified as a mythical creature since some of them could live forever.
Then suddenly a flashing stripe started to play across the whole entire screen and then a man in a dark tux came on. The following happened;

BREAKING NEWS
"Human terrorists of the Human Supremacists Nation have attacked the government buildings in the nations capital. Their actions are not known at this time but from what we can tell, it is only a result of their hate of all mythical creatures... Contact with the capital as been shut of and further communications efforts are underway." The man pauses and nods his head, "We have a visual of the capital now." He says and then on cue a live visual is broadcasted from a helicopter no doubt. It shows a brutal scene, something only out of movies, but brought to life. The capital buildings are on fire and smoke comes out of them in great billows. On the ground fire fights can be seen with tracer rounds zipping back and forth. Then all of a sudden the helicopter jerks to the side and a missile can be seen coming straight at it. Then everything goes black. The man comes back on and apologizes for what the viewers have just seen. "There will be more on this very soon!" he says and the the screen goes back to normal programming.

Dramoria looks around and see's that a crowd has gathered at his TV and at many others and he then realizes, everything has just changed. People start to panic and all he can do is sit.

 

"Shoot, sorry!" Sebastian yelled over his shoulder as he almost knocked over a cleaner. He raced down the stairs, not bothering to wait for the lift. There weren't a lot of people left in the dorm building, for good reason. Sebastian charged through the doorway at breakneck speed.

"Where's the classroom?" he mumbled to himself as he checked where his classroom was. His stomach growled angrily, like a wild beast. 'E4' his timetable read.
Racing around like a madman, Sebastian set out on a quest to find this 'E4'' while constantly checking his phone for the time. 'D3' 'A8' 'G8' were some of the classrooms he passed, where students gathered around. He checked his phone "9:58"
"E6, E5, E4!" he announced to himself. Walking over, he saw that many were frightened or panicked. Sebastian was confused. Was there another boar attack? he wondered

 

Kody was scared, he had seen all of the program, and it was not looking good. He looked around for someone he knew. "Dramoria? Melody? Are you here?" while waited for someone to answer, he thought about the night before, after the feast, he infiltrated the building with the other halflings. They didn't see anything of interest or importance, apart from a lady holding a document which had "CLASSIFIED" clearly printed on the front. He wouldn't worry about it for now, as he turned, he saw a familiar face walking down the hallway, "Melody! Over here!"

 

♫➠♫➠♫ Mizuki Aoki ❀➠❀➠❀​

Mizu woke up to the impact of something hitting her in the stomach. She opened her eyes and looked down to see a black cat sitting on her.

After ripping the cat off her bed sheet, she flipped open the wardrobe and got dressing at the speed of light, realizing the current time and the need for haste.

She was late. 10:01AM.

She grabbed her notebooks and stationary and shoved them into her new bag that the school had given her, while at the same time brushing her teeth and eating some biscuits she had left over from yesterday.

While chugging down her milk and putting on her shoes, she opened the door, then aimed and threw her mug.

It sailed through the air as the door shut. The mug tumbled and seemed as if it were going to crash onto the table and shatter.

However, it landed, perhaps with incredible luck, directly on flat on the table, spinning a bit before staying still. Such luck. Or was it just...

After sprinting out of the building, she headed directly straight, passing the tennis courts and great hall before slowing down to a jog in the classrooms building.

 

"What happened?" Sebastian asked a student in his class. He had rough, dark skin and green hair.
"Don't you know?" he exclaimed. "Where were you this morning? It was all over the TV! It was horrible. Everybody's scared."
Sebastian sighed. "What. Happened."
"There.. There was an attack." He looked very distressed. "In the capital. These people attacked government buildings. There.. There was so much horror. They blurred out the blood, but everything was on fire!" The boy looked extremely scared at the mention of fire.
"Do you know who did it?"
"It was these extremists. Real anti-supernatural people."
Sebastian turned white. Hopefully Father had nothing to do with it. At that moment, he was distracted by the arrival of the class's teacher. He was elven, his pointed ears a telltale sign. That was the only thing 'unnatural' about him. He had ordinary brown hair and olive skin. He was probably middle aged. Sebastian checked his phone. '10:00' Right on time.
"Everybody in!" he exclaimed. So he entered the building for his first class.

 

Kody wasn't sure where the classroom was, so he just stood there, silent. He saw another boy talk to Melody, "newy hey? Usually they don't let girls in your age," she sighed and asked him where the classroom was. "Hey you realized everyone looks worried about something?" she asked him. "Yeah, I think I heard some people murmuring about terrorists..." Melody told him where the classroom was. "Hold on, just before we go, I need to check something. Dramoria? Are you here?" he shouted.

 

On the way to his classroom Gabriel noticed the crowds of students, they were gathered around a Tv with a red banner moving across the top saying 'Urgent news'. Gabriel took out his new phone which he bought specially for school to check the recent news. It was something that didn't entirely shock him, terrorists wanting to rid the world of supernaturals. It didn't surprise him, it was bound to happen eventually. Gabriel decided to head to the classroom first to see if the lesson was still on however he highly doubted it.

 

Dramoria hurried out of the cafeteria and out into the opening when he heard his name being shouted. He could only wonder who it was as he saw Kody, the halfling looking around frantically with the girl from the day before. He always wondered why he shouted his name out loud. Even though Dramoria had good hearing, it wasn't that good. He jogged over to them in human form. He then realized how much taller he was then them. "Hey Kody. what's going on? Why are you shouting my name?" he asked Kody.

 

♫➠♫➠♫ Mizuki Aoki ❀➠❀➠❀​

There were shouts of surprisement as she entered the classroom. The female teacher, with intelligent glasses, was tapping on her desk as most of the class were crowded around one of the tables in the middle.

"Shhh! Be quiet! We can't hear!" hissed one of the students.

They seemed to be watching or listening to something from a portable device.
Mizu paid no heed and proceeded to her assigned desk...great, they even had assigned desks...

She glanced to her right, then to her left. A girl with jet black hair sat on her left. Her face was plain of expression and she appeared to be consumed by the book in front of her.
Mizuki opened her new school bag before emptying out the contents into the tray underneath her desk, causing some loud jingling, rattling noises.

Some of the crowd turned around to glare at her. Others paid no attention.

The glares didn't last long, as most of them just stared at her as soon as they saw her.
She felt like they were laser eyes as they continued to stare curiously in amazement at her.
She turned away, tidying her things.

"Ahem," the teacher cleared her throat. However, only a portion of the crowd dispersed back their seats. Some seemed dumbfounded.

From where Mizuki sat, the portable device was barely audible.
Mizuki wasn't a too curious person. So she simply concentrated on revising the notes she had taken on the school, blocking out everything else.

Before long, the teacher finally had enough, and strolled over and snatched a thin transparent glass, shaped like an iPhone she seen. iPhones were quite old nowadays.
Finally the remainder of the crowd returned to their seats, unpacking their learning gear before the teacher introduced them to the course...

The first lesson of Human Writing was nothing more than the distraction at the start of the class and a brief introduction to the course by the teacher, before everyone was handed a book of sorts.

The Language of Humans
Beginner's Course

After a few pages of reading, Mizu nodded off onto the desk. The remainder of the lesson consisted of quiet reading while the teacher did some stuff on her new picotechnology (nano>pico) computer.
