'Man, it's creepy in here.' The silver haired young man thought, his light blue eyes scanning the Ghost Shipyard. He had been sent here to meet his teacher, who he would meet for the first time.
He look a small step forward, and the board creaked under his feet. In his surprise he jumped backwards, half expecting to feel nothing but air under his feet. But, the boardwalk stood firm. Curious, he gently tapped the wood with the tip of his boot. It moaned loudly, as if he was hurting something, like he was about to kill an animal that was wounded.
He frowned, his gaze traveling to the ships in the water. Was he expected to go into a ship? Or was he to stay put? But something about the ships before him made his spine tingle, tingle with fear.
No- he had made up his mind. If someone didn't show up anytime soon, he would go investigate.

The sound of fast paced footsteps came through the shipyard, a sillohuete becoming more and more visable till his face could be made out. He had sharp features that made him look threatening, his skin pale like mushrooms left in the fridge for so long that you were going to throw them out but you lack the heart to get rid of them just yet. His hair was black and pulled back into a pony tail that reached to his shoulders, his thin face was peppered with stubbs of hair, it was obvious he hadn't shaved in a while.
He wore a white buttoned shirt with pair of black pants, his feet covered in tennis shoes. "Eric Gauthier at your service." He said as he bowed slightly to Reed. Apparently he was going to be one of Reed's teachers, great. Eric Gauthier was a vampire and an elemental which certainly made him easy to pick out in a crowd, he was tall and slim, his gray green eyes looked over the student as if to size up Reed's magical ability.

The young elementalist smiled slightly at the man and bowed slightly back. "Nice to meet you." he said softly, intimidated by his appearance. His pale skin and his black hair just gave the man a... an inhuman look. 'Remember where your at.' he reminded himself.
"I'm Reed..." he added, trying to match the mans gaze. Feeling uncomfortable at looking at him, he crossed his arms and his slender fingers fidgeted uneasily.
Lost for words, he browsed his mind, trying to say something to spark a conversation. If this man was going to be his teacher, he should get to know him.
"Your- are you going to be my teacher sir?"Feeling quite stupid for asking such a dull question, he ducked his head, checks turning a slight shade of red.

"Only one of your teachers actually, I'm sure you'll have plenty others. I'm your master's teacher, I'll be helping you advance your abilities." One of his eyebrows raised as he watched the student, he began to wonder just how advanced Reed's abilities were since most people that came to Twilight Moon Academy had already mastered thier powers and honestly it was a bore to teach such people. "Do you require assistance getting to the school, or do you already have a means of transportation?" He was supposed to ask every student whether or not they had thier own way of getting to the school because some students had wings and would choose to fly to the school, some could change shape and would get to the school in thier own way- lets just face it. Some students liked doing things on thier own and it was Eric's job to make sure his student got to the school.

"If- if you don't mind... I can walk here." he replied. It didn't bother him to walk, he enjoyed a chance to walk and if he was late, he could run. It would keep him in shape, and allow him a chance to enjoy the time.
'Many other teachers huh?' he mused. 'This school... will really be quite interesting.' He studied the man before him, as if sizing him up. Just something about his gray eyes made him feel awkward, like everything he did was foolish. A smile tugged at his lips, as he looked not at his eyes but at his face in general.
"You-you mean my water... you'll be helping me with me controlling the water?" he asked softly feeling shy towards the man.

"You can walk there? You're going to walk on the water? Wow, you must be advanced." Eric laughed, "The school's accross the water a few minues by boat." He added, wondering if Reed was in fact serious and would be able to walk accross the water.

The silver haired man didn't say anything when he laughed. He looked down, his blue eyes casted down. "Well..." he mumbled. "Please don't underestimate me... I'm not the most advanced person around... Not advance I mean- I've just had a lot of time to work with my water" His words came out slowly, as he carefully selected them.
Walk on water?
Ha. If he felt that he could, he would. Sometimes, he felt more power one day then the next, for some reason he felt that the element itself was very unstable. Other days he would just find a way. But Mr. Eric didn't need to know that one.
That day, he felt normal. Nothing special not that surging power he felt every few days.

Eric nodded, "Well then, how about I'll provide the transportation?" he raised his hand and the fog in the air began to pull itself together till it made a round disk- no it wasn't ice, but it was certainly hard. The disk could easily fit them both on it, it lowered to the ground and Eric stepped onto it, "Come on, classes have already started, we don't want to be too late." A burst of wind blew at them from the water like the breath of a sleeping giant but it didn't seem to phase Eric at all. "Speaking of classes, we need to come up with a schedual for you, don't we? Your first six classes will be Magic, Weaponry, Alchemy, Beastry, Master, and a break period. Then the choice comes in, for seventh period would you like Music, History, or Potionry?"

Reed stared at the disk, wounder how he had done that. He snapped back when he spoke. "Oh... Alright thank you." He paused, thinking and considering the three, his eyes never leaving the face of the man.
Music, History or Potionry? 'Hmmm History's a no... I think I'll take Potionry... but then again well, what purpose could Music serve?' His eyes seemed to spark as he decided. "If I'm allowed, I'd be glad to take Potionry." he said softly, still in awe of the mans powers to make a disk large enough to hold them both merely out of fog.
Without thinking, he touched the thin leather on his neck. 'This would be better for him then me.' he thought then decided to see if he was using the water element, and if he did he would give it to him.
No, not to suck up. Just it would be better for him then Reed. This boy saw no point in wasting anything.

"Of course you're allowed, so for seventh period you'll take potionry..." He took a mental note of it and then quickly moved on to the next period, "Eighth is either Holy, which is mostly defensive light magic, Flare, offensive dark magic, or Summoning, which is pretty much self explanatory. Come on by the way, we need to get to the school." He motioned for Reed to get on the disk, he certainly wasn't going to pick him up and carry him, that would just be creepy.

"Uh-huh..." Reed absorbed the information like a sponge would take in water. "Oh... yes sir." he walked over and slowly placed a foot experimentally on it. He slowly shifted all his weight onto it until he felt it could hold him.
He might of looked silly, but he didn't want to fall or break the disk. Taking his eyes off the man, he studied the disk as He placed his other leg on it. 'Wow... how did he do this?' he wondered. Then, he voiced his wonderings slowly yet respectfully.

The disk began moving towards the school, first slowly but it began to pick up speed, "So which class do you want to take?" He asked again, "Holy, Flare, or Summoning?" Within moments they were already over the water and the shipyard was behind them.
((XD Short post! Maybe my imagination will regenerate when I go to the theatre. We're seeing Night at the Museum))

Reed staggered slightly when the disk began to move, slightly surprised at the speed it could move at. He shrugged.
Summoning seemed to catch his interest. "I'd like to check out summoning, sir." he said in a jumble, the move meant below his feet seemed to take up most of his attention. It felt like he had left his body back were they had started, and ow just his spirit was whizzing through the air. His silver hair whipped about, and occasionally got in his eyes. He closed one blue eye and forced the other open. "Wow" he breathed. He looked back at Mr. Eric, and gently wrapped his arms around his stomach. "Awww man." he mumbled. After a moment, he felt better.
He stood up straight, and allowed his arms to hang at his side. "This- this is amazing!" he told his teacher.

Eric smiled slightly, "Yeah, someday soon I'll help you learn to do the exact same thing. But first we need to finish your schedule. Ninth period is either Dragoon, Samurai, or thievery." The water shimmered beneath them and small fish could be seen just under the surface of the water as well as an occasional flash of glowing green light. Of course there were more than just fish in the water, there were spirits of wandering souls as well but of course that was nothing that needed worrying about because they couldn't get to you unless you fell in.
Back at the shipyard a small group of people were arriving, dressed in travelling cloaks with worried looks 'pon thier faces as they paid for a boat to take them accross the water to the school.

'The... same exact thing...?'
That would be no fun! Reed made a mental note to do something crazy with it, like give it a twist. That was always fun. Lots of fun... His blue eyes looked back at the man, as he listed off the three classes. 'Wow... This school offers quite a bit' he sighed inwardly, wounder on which would help him become more powerful. 'If only... I knew what Dragoon was.' he pondered, then voiced his thoughts.
The boy looked away when he asked, his cheeks shading a light red. 'He thinks I'm an idiot. He's going to throw me off, he's going to laugh!!' the boy ducked his head, then remained silent.
