On top of a grand hill stood a small roman-style pavilion that glowed by the light of morn. Small ribbon-like dragons cricled the white-washed columns of the building, and tranquilic tones of melodies played in the air as the wind rushed by.
Dain had set out to explore these hills and this was what he found. A place perfect for relaxation, even an even better use, training. Silence set the mood as the morning dawn smiled at the pavilion, and kissed it to wake it up fully for the day. Dain walked upthe hill of perfect green grass effortlessly as he got to the top and sat in the near-to-be chapel. The little white dragons flushed around his body, twisting and turning as they trilled in excitement that a new creature was here for them to behold.
Dain opened his left eye and caught one little white dragon, then pet it on its head. It snuggled up to his body as he chuckled.
THis place is beautiful...it is better than even the white beaches of Puerto Rico. This will be my haven from henceforth, for thinking, studying, and training. I will have to keep this a secret...
Dain thought to himself as he stood up. THe dragons scattered as he did such an abrupt action, then gathered closer to him as thye calmed down. Dain had no shirt on, for he had come to train, and he had on black clothed pants that resembled that of martial art uniform pants. His muscles rippled as he took his stance of Tai Chi, one of the many arts he knew and mastered over his years of young life.
One...Two...Three...Four... He said to himself as he did the movements for stretching. His left arm coming forth as his biceps rippled as did his triceps, and his right arm coming toward him. His left leg moved forward and his abdomen tightened and then released, then his right leg came forward, returning his position to a full stand. THe dragons flew around him in merriment, he may have been monstrously tall and strong, but hey, he was nice and he scratched their noses and ears...something not easily done.
Dain followed up once again with the same routine or exercise as his muscles tightened on his body one again. He breathed deeply and relaxed, flowing fluidly with the old form. He regained his stance back, and the dragons swarmed him as he was knocked to the ground. They snuggled up against him as Dain laughed hard on the floor. He scratched as many ears as he could.
Looks like I've made some friends... He thought to himself as he sat up and was perched on by five of them.

((Sorry, but I'm making Ithilwen seem like a goddess in this post. >=D Don't like it? Ha! Too bad! *evil cackle*))
Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to stop as a low, sweet, melodic voice erupted softly from within a nearby forest. So gentle, so rapturous was the voice that the trees- no matter how old or young, weak or strong- swayed ever-so-slightly in their enchanted state, the breeze humming merrily to the captivating tune as the tiny blades of grass whispered to one another in a language known only to them.
A faint, white light was seen in between the trees, advancing slowly upon the edge of the forest, and the birds, ensnared by the divine voice, peered out in wonder from their perch in the treetops as if in awe. Several small, white dragons, suddenly struck with a blinding wave of such overwhelming euphoria, gathered at the edge of the forest as the owner of the voice emerged at long last.
Ithilwen stood there, garbed in a long, white, silken dress, the traditional attire of her homeland of Celebarda. She bore a silver circlet upon her brow, and in the light of the early morning sun, she glistened like freshly-laid snow in a pale, white aura of grace and beauty. Wrapped around her wrist was the form of a small dragon, and in her own tongue of the avariel kind, she sang to it a song of lovely words, stroking it fondly under the chin as it closed its eyes peacefully, rubbing against her arm.
So fair and elegant was she that even the sun, in all its shining glory, seemed to shrink with envy at the sight, only shining evermore brightly with jealousy upon her supple, fair skin. Her hair, let out of its normal braid, fell in a long, knee-length cascade of silver waves, glistening like polished glass as the breeze ran its enraptured fingers through it tenderly, the tresses blowing softly like some sort of silver banner.
Her song ended on a long, high note, and even several moments after, the world still seemed forever hushed as she took her place on the whispering blades of grass beside the forest.
((Why, yes. That WAS quite vain. =D But I'm glad I got it all out of my system. *lets out a sigh of relief*))

Angelus strode through the hills quietly. He was glad to be finally away from the clustered hallways and small classrooms of the academy. Growing up in the utopia of Babylon, Angelus was born with a deep appreciation for nature and all of father earth's wonders. He walked throughout the grassy hills humming to himself a tune that his grandfather once told him. He would pick up some flowers here and there and sniff them.
The looked around and saw the academy in the distance. He could see the students walking around the campus while some sat on the ground writing on their parchment. Nothing could have made Angelus happier than to be away from the crowds.
He looked upon his destination, the highest hilltop in the devine hills. There stood Dain and Ithilwen. Angelus knew that Ithilwen enjoyed nature just as much as he did, so he decided to walk over.

Dain rose his head and gandered at Ithilwen, then chuckled as he lay on his back.
"We have to stop meeting like this, you all." Dain announced as he noticed Angelus walking thier way. He knew his voice would travel. When Ithilwen's song had ended, the little white dragons came back to Dain and started doing ait somersaults along his abdomen. He kept laughing, the dragons were tickling him! He hadn't been tickled in quite a while.
Dain ended the dragon's circus of aerial feats and sat himself up. Quickly as though not even disturbed, the little dragons perched on his shoulders in fours, they were small little animals. Dain brought his finger up and rubbed under the chin of one of the little dragons, then all of them started leaning in.
Mother of Earth I hate my affinity with animals... He thought on a playful note. He turned his attention to the others.
"So...how are you all?" Dain inquired.

Ithilwen laughed cheerily, suddenly struck with a good mood that she found rather pleasant. "Truly it cannot be that bad, no?"
She chuckled heartily as a dragon had entangled itself in her hair, making small chirping noises as it tried to free itself from a forest of never-ending silver. She wrapped her long fingers around it gently as she unraveled it from her locks, and it slithered up her arm as soon it was free. It raised its head and she leaned forward slightly as the dragon gave her a small, fond peck on the lips and then chirped excitedly as it twirled around her form. She smiled and twirled around once on the spot, her hand passing over the small, smooth scales of the creature as she passed, its tail curling and uncurling around her fingers.
The avariel took a deep, intake of sweet-scented air that smelled delightfully of lilies and honeysuckle, and she took her spot on the lush, green grass beside Dain, the dragon floating under her arm and around her torso. She could now sit with comfort, as her wings were currently retracted, resting beneath the skin of her shoulders.
"I'm doing quite well, thank you," she said, her voice low, airy, exotic....borderline sultry. "And the two of you? How have you been faring?"

"I've been well." Dain commented as he plopped back down on the grass next to Ithilwen. The dragons were disrupted on his shoudler for only a minute for they were soon bouncing around on Dain's abdomen once again.
"These little dragons have quite an affinity to me." He added outloud.
Because they can smell Shadowsong, Darius' dragon. He thought deep within his mind.
Dain then brought his finger up and almost instantly the little dragons started rubbing themselves all over it. Dain lay there and just simply chuckled.

"I have been fine," Angelus commented, "school has been stressful and all, but I have been managing to make it through. I just came up here to relax and let some stress off."
He couched down as a small dragon walked over to him. Angelus began to pet to the dragon. As he pet the baby dragon, he looked over the lake that was less than a half a mile away. The wind began to pick up and rustled his hair. He combed his hand through his hair and then looked back at the group.

Sitting in a completely different realm a tall, slim figure sat watching the students, "None of them even know what's going to happen..." She muttered softly to herself. She sat in a large feild that was awash with only grays- devoid of any color whatsoever. Her powerful turquoise eyes stared into a sheet of ice as the wind whipped accross the feild and ruffled her raven black hair. Her black ears pricked foreward as she picked up thier voices, as well as thier thoughts, 'I wonder how he got to know Darius...' she thought to herself with laughing thoughts. A figure walked up behind her, a minotaur.
"Akira, the time draws near! You need to continue training!" he said in a husky voice.
"Oh, come on. I'm nearly better than you! I think I deserve some free time... besides, I'd like to think of this as... reconnosaince..." She said with a nod as she watched the students. A smile on her face, she was going to enjoy going back into the world- it was going to be fun! Another adventure! Besides, once she was done with her destiny she would be able to finally rejoin with Makashi, and that was a big finally. One thousand years living and then a whole other thousand years stuck in this awfull place, no food at all which made it pretty much torture to be here. The Gate Suppression 9 didn't allow one to die since they pretty much didn't exist anymore though sickly enough she fealt alive, she fealt like she existed. Unfortunately it was most likely that those at The Academy wouldn't be able to detect her since the ice mirror portal was a one way deal and only the extremely acute to Gate Suppression 9 would even be able to detect it's presense.
"Akira! We don't have time for this!" The minotaur said angrily.
"Fine..." Akira said as she stood up, making one last glance at the ice sheet before it melted away.

(I just fealt like randomly putting a post somewhere with Akira watching everyone through an ice mirror portal... it's undetectable to anyone who doesn't have close ties to Gate Suppression 9, and I don't think anyone here even knows what it is...Akira's not in the feild, sorry if that was unclear... heheh, again... sorreh.)

Pendragon hadn't expected to run into anybody here, he had wanted to be alone. It was too late now, they would have already seen him. And you know what they say about first meetings...
He had appeared just behind Angelus. "Hey," He said, in a soft voice. Something's wrong... He thought. Though he didn't know it, his dimension jumping arrival had activated a sort of sixth sense. He looked directly at the spot Akira had been looking through, about a second before it was closed. He saw Akira in his mind, but shook it off as aftershock of his battle with Angelus.
He began memorizing details of the people, out of habit. Most of them were being swamped by dragons, which was odd. The dragons seemed to be avoiding Pendragon. In fact, one had almost flown straight into him. Pendragon had to pull his shoulder inwards to avoid the collison. He watched as the dragon flew towards Dain. Almost as if they can't see me He thought. He wasn't giving off the aura that attracted the dragons so. He had come from a different world, and the dragons were obviously not picking up his signal.

Azu looked down on all of this. She found it quite amusing. She knew the names of most of these people, though there was one she was sure she didn't know. His name was Pendragon and she didn't think she had ever talked to him before. She was curious, though. She walked stealthily down to them. As she neared, she chose a target to attack; Angelus would do just fine. She glanced around to make sure that no one noticed her. Then, step by step, she crept up on Angelus. She was bent low to the ground, and when she was about five feet away, she pounced and landed squarely on his back.

Dian didn't flutter an eyebrow as his arm raised fom his ground-born body.
"Hey, you. Yeah, the one watching us. Come on then." He made a signal in the air as to direct the boy. Like his old teacher, Dain didn't enjoy people spying or watching him. It made things seem...queer. He didn't like queer, nor any other word that is the synonym of queer.
He had felt a presence, but he had special training from Darius to sense it.
"This lesson might be useful for you.", Darius once said to him.
Though, that presence was somewhat familiar, the energy didn't match his old master's however.
Come to think about it, Darius never showed me his full power... Dain thought to himself for a second.
He soon abolished the presence he had felt and pondered about, and came back to his senses and his friends.
