(@Weredragon13 - No problem :)

@Everyone - I poked the router for a bit, now it's working again! :D I think one of the cables somehow fell loose. If it happens again I'll do the same, just be aware that my WiFi has a habit of dropping in and out at times.)

I nodded, and took one last look at my timetable before folding it neatly and putting it in my pocket.

"I think it's this way," I said, starting off at a slow jogging pace, before progressing to a somewhat slower run so that Erin could keep up with her case. Gervasius, for once, did not comment on the jerkiness of my actions, but, rather, was on the look out for the room, at the same time as offering a few remarks.

Come on! You run like a 90-year-old! I glanced at him.

"Excuse me for wanting to allow my friend to keep up," I mumbled in return. "Besides, it's more awkward if we're late alone. Might as well be with someone else." That's no excuse! You should be thinking about yourself, and your own education! You can't afford to miss any of your time here! Perhaps you should- Beyond that, I blotted him out, not concerned with what he had to say.

Sylver's teacher finally arrived, their eyes lingering on Sylver and a few other students as they looked around the room. Sylver did her best to use her hair to cover her bandanna, as she didn't want the teacher to call her out for wearing it.

(@AtomicBomb354 How about our characters arrive on time before the teacher enters and start to chat?)

"Hey Rick, our Group Master's name is Gaelic. Did you know that? Coleen is a girl's name that could mean 'girl wench'," Erin told him.

(@Weredragon, yeah, sure :) )

"Huh." I didn't really have much to say to that, as I was more focused on where I was going. My eyes scanned the corridors, and, eventually, they latched on to the correct door. "There it is! I hope we're not too late." Though when I began to open the door, and found that everyone was simply talking to each other, I realised that the teacher was not inside. I let out a sigh of relief. "That's good."

I went inside, and began to look for somewhere to sit. I found two seats, with plenty of space for Erin's case as well. I glanced over at her and pointed to them. "Is here ok?"

"Yes an' I'll think that I'll practice the 'King of the Fairies' while we wait," Erin replied as she took out her Irish Fiddle and started playing on it. Ceol climb out of the satchel and onto the desk to listen.

(Erin is playing this song hope you like it!)

Master Zatar started by giving an introduction, as well as a small demonstration of what Tzala was, and a brief explaination about it. He handed out a page of class activity getting to know each other sort of thing, one of those dumb worksheets Sylver always did in her other schools where she had to find people who fit a description and write their name there.

Stover was the first to finish, and didn't speak to anyone the entire time. Master Zatar examined her paper, then went around to each student asking them if each thing was true. "Ms. Lunydia, correct?" He said as he approached. Stover took a deep breath and nodded. "Would you happen to be related to Eirene Lunydia? Descendant of the original Tzala?" He asked. Stover once again nodded, keeping her head lowered, as she felt very scared. "Would you happen to be able to read shadows naturally? Perhaps... a shadow reader?" He asked her. She once again nodded. "Go sit at the table in the back, I will speak with you shortly" he told her. She complied, walking and taking a seat in the back of the room as a separate table. Three other kids joined her shortly after.

I nodded, and, just as I did so, the pleasant sound of the Irish fiddle filled my ears. In the process, it blotted out quite a large amount of the noise from the other people talking. Gervasius seemed intrigued, sitting a little closer to the edge of my shoulder so that he could be closer.

She's really good, I thought to myself, not wanting to interrupt her playing to tell her. Seeing Erin play the instrument made me wish that I too had taken something up. I had had the opportunity to learn the flute, but I had made the decision not to learn it, in favour of playing video games with my friends every week. I regretted that a small amount of time afterwards, but my regret is especially strong now.


(I think I've heard it before - I'm not sure, I recognise the tune. But yeah, it's good! :) )

After handing out some books to the rest of the class, Master Zatar made his way to the back, where the light was extra bright. "Now, I want you to tell me the names of the person to your right. Starting with the girl on the far left, they all took their turns "Raven" the first girl said, the girl, Raven, nodded in confirmation. Raven went next, looking at Sylver's shadow "Sylver" she said, Sylver nodding. It was Sylver's turn now, and she knew the boy next to her's name already, it was Izaac, but the others might judge her if they knew she was unable to speak, but she proceeded anyway ".. --.. .- .- -.-." She clicked. Izaac nodded, knowing what she said, and Izaac stated the name of the girl who started "Aerene"

Piper watched as the clock's minute hand fell onto the '11' mark.

"Our teacher is late!" She told Rhys. "Is that a problem."

"Not at all," a voice said, right next to her ear. Piper jumped, turning to see a flickering form next to her. The form flickered, and a vague outline appeared, later turning into a lady.

Piper recognized the lady's black hair, green eyes, and tanned face at once."Aunt CeCe?" she said in disbelief. Master Ciana was actually her aunt- her father's first cousin! "Is that you?"

"Oh, you're Arell's daughter, huh? Piper Alina. Nice to see another Merriweather." The woman smiled, looking at Rhys. "Who's you're friend?"

"Rhys Daciano" he told her, a polite smile on his face. "Nice to meet you, Master Ciana" he said respectfully.
