Return of a Dreamer

[Vincent Straat]

It was late morning, and even though the sun was up, the great ball of fire had failed to burn away at the mist in the atmosphere in this almost rundown place. The haze seemed to give it an eerie feel, like something would come up behind you at any moment, ready to attack.

Just like last time.

A tall lanky figure as pale as a ghost stood on the dock, looking out into the murky water. One hand toyed with the silver cross that was attached to a chain around his other wrist, turning it over and over and running the pads of his fingers over the edges. He hated it, yet
he rarely took it off. The silver haired teen did not pay attention to his surroundings, thoughts turned inward for the time being.

((Sorry for the wait))

A slight breeze hovered in the air, colling the area because it came off of the lake. There was silence and the only noise that could be heard were the whistling of birds in the forest behind Vincent. Suddenly, a noise drifted into the area that was out of the ordinary. A cracking of twigs that probably lie on the ground could be heard at the forest's edge. There was someone coming.

A shadowy figure began to take shape at the edge of the forest. Its gender was unknown for it wore many dark robes and a dark bandanna covered its mouth. Judging by its stance and the soft look in its eyes, it was a woman. She bore two small daggers on both sides of her waist and two long swords on her back. She neared Vincent and began to scan him with her eyes. "Hello," a low and harsh voice said from under the dark bandanna, "my name is Iluna and I will be your escort to Twilight Moon Academy. What is your name?"

[Vincent Straat]

The boy turned his head to look behind him when a noise unnatural began, coming from the forest. Someone, or something was heading in his direction. Silver hair shifted in the cool breeze as Vincent turned completely around to face the person who had interrupted his thoughts.

The berserker was unsure of the person, who he guessed to be a Twilight Moon Teacher. This fact was confirmed with her spoken words. The teen bowed his head in acknowledgment before looking back at her and speaking, his voice soft and laced with his unmistakable accent.

“ I am Vincent Straat, a pleasure, Miss. Illua.” The berserker replied, blue eyes watching her… Waiting. His hands disappeared to clasp behind his back, the silver cross glinting dully.

[Angelus]

"Ahh," Iluna said with a kind voice, "we have finally received a student with some manners. So many of the students I have taken across the lake here have been complete brats. They think because they have certain abilities that they can do whatever they want."

She sighed as she talked the entire time without taking a breath.

"Now we should get acquainted. What powers do you possess?"

[Vincent Straat]

A small smile crossed the boy’s face at her words, though he chose not to comment on her remark. Some people where just not lucky enough to have been taught to use their powers beforehand.

"Now we should get acquainted. What powers do you possess?"

The berserker looked away from the woman and down at the ground between them, still wet with morning dew that would most likely never dry up in such a misty place like this. He released his hands from behind his back and brought his right hand up, rotating his wrist in a circular motion. The temperature dropped and the patch of ground froze, the ice forming into a solid object, corkscrewing upward.

[Angelus]

"You are a very quiet one, aren't you." Iluna said as she scanned over the boy standing in front of her. "I will now take you to the academy if you do not mind."

She quickly began to walk down the shore and beckoned for Vincent to follow.

[Vincent Straat]

The bererker let her pass and then followed the teacher, a smile reaching his face at the comment. Quiet was just in his natrure, and he liked it that way.

"As you wish."

(gah, Shortness AND very late. Sorry about that.))

[Angelus]

Iluna smiled as Vincent began to follow her. She made her way down the sandy beach for a long time before she finally stopped. There was nothing different about the area she had stopped at except for the large, round stones that were staggered in different locations throughout the lake. They seemed to stretch all the way to the other side of the lake.

"I can cross the lake by jumping from one rock to another, but you may swim and rest at each one if you want."

Iluna quickly jumped high into the air and landed gracefully on the first rock in the lake. She jumped quickly again and landed on the next rock. She continued jumping for several rocks. She landed again, but seemed not to be even phased by the fact that she had just completed several stunts that may have been exhausting. "Come!" she yelled.
