Tamir nodded his head, "When we get to Twilight Moon Academy it could be possible that you would be able to save up enough money to purchase some sort of item that would grant you sight, or maybe you'll find yourself a friend who can help you. The Academy is a strange place, anything could happen." Tamir patted his student on the back as his yellow and red eyes looked toward Twilight Moon Academy that loomed ahead of them as the fog and mist peeled away from the ship. The half blood's wings folded again and covered him almost like a blue fabric, his feet shuffled on the boards of the ship as his eyes looked from person to person on the ship in a relaxed fashion but in reality Tamir was far from relaxed at the moment and his hand tightened momentarily on Estrik's shoulder in warning in case his student wasn't paying attention at the moment. "They're going to get hostile soon." he cautioned, "It might be wisest if we aquire another means of transportation." Although Tamir was fully aware of what was about to happen, having stolen thoughts from the minds of the crew and catching the faintest of whispers in his draconic ears, the half-blood was oddly calm. A facade raised around him to hide his anticipation of the attack, muscles relaxed and expression indifferent upon his blue hued face as his mind began to analyze the possibilities, "We're going to have to fly, perhaps." he interjected into the mind of the Seer as he awaited a response from him.
((This is hard, I dunno... knowing that anything my character does won't matter much kinda makes the roleplay harder! I mean, it's not like anything he does will get much notice! Estrik is pretty much blind! Lol. This is kinda frustrating.))

"Well then, I'm just going to have to take your word for it, Estrik said, followed by a small, stifled, chuckle. Of course, he knew that flying meant he would be blind for a while but it was worth it. He could see faint, blue shapes, and knew that it must be the academy."Just don't drop me. I don't want 4 years of my life to have passed for nothing." This time, he used a different kind of sight in which he would tap the ground and send out a wave, showing him a red-outlined blue scene of everything, but only for a moment. And sure enough, there were a few characters below deck readying weapons. He just hoped that his Master Teacher could escape quick enough, 2 people, one who is blind, against an entire pirate-like crew. Estrik took a deep breath and thought, "Whenever you're ready, I'm ready. I just hope you can respond faster than they can attack. Estrik kept a straight face, although his muscles started to tense. He had only ever been in two battles before, and both of those he used "it". He never wanted to ever use "it" unless it was absolutely necessary. But, he had faith that Tamir would keep him safe.
He heard heavy steps fall on the wood of the boat, ascending to the deck. "Well, they are almost here," Estrik said telepathically. Time to see if any of that training paid off, he thought to himself. Yes, quite a surly bunch indeed.
((He could see the wings unfold! He could see the horns! He's not completely blind, lol.))

The ship's crew already had the two surrounded, "Is there some sort of problem?" Tamir asked, his voice honestly sounded like he had no clue what was going on, he sounded perfectly civil and relaxed. His yellow and red eyes looked over the crowd before finally resting on the captain. Those who surrounded them were armed and Tamir hadn't even flinched in the direction of his sword, he had a steady stance as the captain spoke.
"We normally charge a small bit more for things of your type, so there'll be a raise in your fare." the man spat the word 'things' from his mouth when he uttered it, letting his distrust and dislike of anything other than human apparent. His voice did more than to betray that, his sly tone showed that he was going to charge more than just money and more than just a little bit more, perhaps something along the lines of slave trade?
Tamir shook his head, "We aggreed on the fare before we left- no more money would be required." He still made no aggressive movements whatsoever.
"Then this is where we stop- and we all have buisness to attend to elsewhere so you'll be coming with us." The captain spoke triumphantly since it was very likely that the two could be sold for more money than they could supply, besides- it wasn't like they weren't just going to capture them anyways, "Put them in the brig." the captain ordered and the crew jumped into action all at once.
Tamir's wings folded out but the limited room kept him from flight, instead one of his wings folded around Estrik, covering the student completely, "Stay in there, it's the best protection here." he ordered, his mind still calm at this moment. His hand reached for his claymore sword and he weilded easily, as if it were a much lighter sword such as a rapier. To anyone with sight and keen deductive skills it could be realized what was about to happen because of the blade- it was scorched black. A stream of flame plumed from Tamir's throat, white within his throat, cooling to blue just as if passed his lips and then to oranges and reds further out, it was a frickin' rainbow of fire. The smell of cooking meat entered the air, anyone who hadn't been killed or immobilized by the flame was already backing away, the ship ablaze as well, it wasn't burning at an alarming rate actually, "We have to go, NOW." Tamir said to his student, his voice still calm though urgency was laid throughout it like a shadow of true worry. The only problem was making sure he could fly fast enough with a passenger to escape what was assuredly about to come.

((For future reference, in heat red is cooler than orange, then white, then blue))
Estrik smelled the burning flesh and heard the screams of the men who were roasting alive. "Finish them off. They tried to hurt you. Kill them, every last one." This voice was not Tamir's, and was not Estrik's; it was what was inside of him. That pure evil that he had been afraid of all his life. "Shut up," Estrik said, with a hateful tone in his voice. "DO IT!", the voice bellowed in a seemingly tone. SHUT UP!, he screamed as loud as he could in his head. "I SAID DO IT!", it yelled back, annoyed with Estriks opposition."AND I SAID SHUT UP!", this time he physically said it. Tamir glanced at him to see what was wrong.
"Well, the new moon is coming," Estrik said. "I've always hated it."
The fire may not have been spreading quickly, but it was doing more damage to what was already on fire. Behind them, parts of the sides of the boat were falling off, and underneath the floorboards were collapsing into the brig. "Can we get off this thing now?" Estrik asked.

(Screw you! Lol
Tamir: Told you.
Li-Wa: Shut up!
Akira: Things are easier with odd colored flames...)
Tamir slipped his hands under Estrik's arms and his wings beat heavily as he brought the two of them into the air, wind whistled around them as Tamir made extra effort for speed which didn't seem like quite the wisest thing since even though the school loomed ahead of them it was about another mile and a half to go which was quite a bit for someone to fly two people, Tamir knew something that Estrik didn't. Tamir kinda hoped that the crew and captain would die in the flames, because then he wouldn't have to worry about paying damages. He wouldn't have to worry about survivors in a few moments though, he smirked as the flames continued to ravage the ship. There shouldn't be any problems.

"So, does every kid who comes here almost die on a burning pirate ship, or is that just me?" Estrik asked. The wind rushed against Estrik's face as they flew closer to the Academy. "Oh, and by the way, do you mind not telling anyone what happened back there? It's my little secret." The school now only looked like a little over a mile away. What began as wee blue specks now began to form human and animal shapes. Estrik gripped on to his staff tightly to avoid accidentally dropping it into the water below. He knew he would be screwed without this staff, so he continued to hold on to it for dear life. The flapping of Tamir's wings became a rhythmic beat as everything seemed to go as well as it ever will.
Inside his head, however, a fight broke out. If someone saw it, they would think that it was himself versus...himself. "You should have killed them. They'll come for you Estrik, they'll kill you. If not, I will," Said evil part of Estrik. "How stupid do you think I am? If I die you come with me, thus ending your million year life-span, demon," Said the usual Estrik. True, but that doesn't mean I can't make it hurt a little." He made a fist and punched Estrik in the face, leaving a large bruise on his cheek.
Outside of his mind, in the real world, his cheek slowly turned black and blue.

The pirate ship exploded as the flames met the gunpowder and alcohol kept below deck and the heat even reached Estrik and Tamir and the sudden heat behind them changed air pressures making Tamir tip foreward slightly, he regained level flight quickly, however and he began working more for gaining altitude now rather than horizontal distance. Once they were a good deal above the water the beating of Tamir's large dragon wings ceased and the two simply glided, good thing that dragon wings apparently had a good glide to fall ratio since Tamir's wing muscles were already sore from the flying of two people at high speeds. "Do you require any assistance?" he asked Estrik, reffering to the demon, "There are things that could be done to help in this situation."

"Truthfully, I don't even think anyone but me can handle it. Now it is completely intertwined with my soul. Killing or hurting him, hurts me. The most I could ever ask is that you knock me unconscience if it takes over. He pointed to his right temple, That is where you should hit me, straight knockout. After the new moon it's almost like he isn't there anymore. It's that last week that he makes his presence known. Estrik then went deep in thought to the first time it came out. He was being mugged, before they could take anything, the demon took control and used "that". The man killed his friends and then killed himself. While he was doing this, the demon was laughing.
He had thought about suicide multiple times, but somehow he always stopped right before it happened. Like he was meant for something more. He wished that it hadn't chosen him. At all times he felt like he was trapped in a cage, and these times when he was in control where the demon's playful taunts. He hated it, more than he wished for sight.

"It's more than likely there are more like you." Tamir said with a nod, "You could seek them out if you wish, they'd understand more of your situation than I would, I'm sorry if I don't seem helpful." Tamir knew of atleast one student at the Academy who had a demon within them, weird kid. Everyone at Twilight Moon Academy seemed to have problems of thier own, though it amused Tamir to think of what it might be like when his student met the necromancer- it would certainly be interesting. Tamir smirked as they neared The Academy and he lowered himself and the student to the ground, he then reached a hand into his pocket and withdrew an item and held it in his clawed blue hand. A crystal orb perhaps three inches in diameter was there in his palm, swirling colors were in the center, changing from a deep purple to a blue- almost the color of Tamir's palm actually- and it continued to change color like a steady stream of dyes dispersing through a smooth current of water as it went to turquoise to green then yellow, glowing to orange and deepening to red, continueing on to purple again. "Guess what? You get a prize." Tamir stated almost sarcastically as he heald the orb up between his thumb and forefinger and looked at it for a moment.

"Well, what is it? What does it do, huh?" Estrik asked somewhat annoyingly. This was probably the only gift he ever got besides his armor and staff. "I'm hurt, you don't find me a gift. I'll have you know that I am a real catch, his demon said. This time Estrik ignored it, and then tapped his staff on the ground. In this momentary flash, he saw the academy, stunning really. He had finally found a place that it felt like he belonged. "So, is there anyone here who is like me, with the whole demon, half-possession bit?" Estrik asked as Tamir held up that orb.

"Well first of all, your gift is an orb and don't get so annoyed. It's a molding orb and it can copy the abilities of any orb you manage to come accross- keep this in mind because most of the students here have different orbs with different abilities. And about the other student- his name is Darishan, he's a necromancer. Though his demon has a profoundly different effect upon him than yours, the demon seems to have less of a grapple on his mind. Might be constructive if you two met, I heard he was in a bit of a battle at the moment, though." Tamir handed the orb to Estrik and the colors within the orb changed colors wildy in the palm of it's new owner, accepting Estrik openly.
(Estrik has recieved the Molding Orb!
A small orb that is clear though it's center changes through the color spectrum in it's center
The Molding Orb has the ability to change to mimick any orbs in the general proximity of it if the orb to be copied has been used. Without copying the effect of another orb the item seems generally useless, though it increases your chances of finding four leaf clovers for some odd reason, go figure!)

"Well, it's a Super Orb! I don't see why anyone would get annoyed with something that could help me find 4-leaf clovers." Estrik said in a joking tone. "Anyway, thank you for all your past and future help. I believe I have you 6th period," Estrik said as he carefully put the orb in a hidden pocket in his armor. While he did this, the orb crazily changed colors from red to green and back again. He then began to walk into the academy, tapping his staff along the way to "see" where he was going. He just hoped that everyone here was as nice as Timar was. If they were, things might turn out ok for once.
