The Coming of the Sisters of Fate

[J-Bear!]

((XDDDDDDDDDD REBA I HAVE TWO BLACK MAGES NOW. DAE AND XEARDIA!!!!!))

"Okay, and I'll extend it to be under us all, so if one of us falls or anything, the platform will be there." Xeardia said. Seeing the look on Jay's face, she added, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to your sister. I'm not a bad black mage." She smiled.

[Jay]

Jay shrugged. I can last ten minutes, no problem. She was a little sorry she'd revealed such an important weakness, but it was better than falling into the water just because she liked keeping herself to herself. Sort of. Her jaw clenched slightly when she thought of Sara's plight, but the shapeshifter didn't say anything on account of the fact that they had to get to the academy somehow, and she'd have to learn to trust these eventually anyway.

Unfortunately, trust was something that Jay only spared a select few.

[Sara's shadow]

Sara looked down at her sister, giving the younger girl an encouraging sort of smile and touching her shoulder lightly. Jay's face was at its blackest and most unreadable, which, from experience, Sara knew meant her sister was worried. And it wasn't for her own sake, either... But there was no other option. If trusting strangers was what had to be done in order for the two of them to learn how to control their powers, then they would do it. She looked up at the wizards and nodded, stepping forward with her typical poised, ready-for-anything look fixed firmly to her face.

[[lol J-bear, and i have two "emo kids" under my care....except one of them is cool....>_>
ethan: T_T
clarik: LAWL]]

"Well then, since we're all so happy with each other and everything..." Ethan said, the slightest bit of sarcasm in his dreary voice, "...to the Academy we go." His staff glowed dully and he lifted into the air a few inches, drifting out over the water, waiting for the platform to appear. He looked rather ghostly there in his white robe and pale skin, hovering over the water.

[J-Bear!]

((LOLZ I KNOW!!!!!!! ))

Xeardia closed her eyes suddenly and when she opened them again, there was a thin, strong layer of black energy underneath them all. "Well, let's go?"

[Jay]

Jay hesitated, then shifted forms. Her body grew smaller, and a beak suddenly protruded from her face as black feathers sprouted and grew everywhere. Jay the crow had shape-changed in a matter of seconds, and it was an easy transformation; she'd done a crow form many times before.

After a moment's consideration, the bird fluttered into the air to perch on Sara's shoulder. So much for flying herself. But this way, she was closer to her sister, which made her feel a lot better about things.

[Sara's shadow]

Sara nodded again to Xeardia, feeling the slight pressure on her shoulder that meant Jay had just landed there. She smiled inwardly, practically feeling her sister's discomfort through the contact. She looked at the crow fondly for a moment, then turned back to the mage and announced, "We're ready." The girl shifted her feet a little so that their departure wouldn't send her flying off the platform. That would most certainly not be an auspicious start to their training.

[[LOL, I JUST SPILLED TEA ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD AND COMPUTER AND CARPET XDDDDDDDDD
LULZ, I'M RETARDED.]]

Ethan glided over and landed almost silently on the platform. He nodded to Xeardia. "Not too fast, X. Remember what happened LAST time?" He frowned at the memory.

[[lmfao. we'll say ethan fell in the ocean last time XD]]

[J-Bear!]

((LOLZ))

Xeardia nodded and laughed. "How could I forget? Seeing you in that ocean was hilarious!" She shook her head and concentrated. The platform levitated slowly, but fast enough to shake everyone a bit. It moved forward fast enough so they'd reach the school soon, but not too fast. "This good, guys?"

[Jay]

Jay shifted her wings a bit and ruffled the feathers around her neck, as close as she could get to a shrug. Excitement finally began to replace the defensive nervousness that had built a shell around her heart. They were finally going somewhere to learn about how to use their powers! And more, if she got the general gist of the whole magic scenario. As soon as she got over her general fear of people, the shapeshifter was bound to have some fun.

[Sara's shadow]

Vertigo filled Sara's stomach as the platform swept them away from the shipyard. Giddily, she swayed, struggling to keep her lunch down; Jay may have been used to flying, but Sara certainly wasn't. When the mage asked, however, she nodded her consent. If no one else was complaining, she wasn't going to. Instead, she looked out at the sea now rushing past them. It was certainly a pretty view, full of churning waters and rolling waves, despite its misty grey cloak. In fact, that only served to make it more beautiful, albeit in a mysterious sort of way. Wind whipped against her cheek as she watched, blowing her hair into her eyes. Absently, she swept it away, thoughts turning inwards for the first time since the strange man had appeared beside them.
Ethan... Who was he? He didn't like them, that was for sure. Or didn't care. Either way, he didn't seem like a likely source of council. And this Xeardia... She was more friendly than her counterpart, and perhaps more powerful, though she couldn't be certain. Sara didn't really know anything about magic, except for her sister's powers and her own fleeting visions. They'd probably learn a good deal more upon their arrival at Twilight Moon Academy. The seer turned her mind towards their future as the platform sped on, whisking the two of sisters still deeper into the unknown.

"While we're waiting, do you two want to go ahead and pick out your classes?" Ethan asked boredly, tapping his feet. "I have a list of them somewhere..." He shuffled around for a moment, then from the folds of his long, white cloak came a paper. "Ah, yes. Here's your electives...you'll need to pick one out of each of the four groups. Music, History, and Potionry; Holy, Flare, and Summoning; Dragoon, Samuri, and Thievery; Survival and Puppetmaster."

[Jay]

Jay blinked for a second, overwhelemed with the sudden listing of classes. Right, pick one from each group. Music and History didn't seem all that interesting, so Potionry was her best bet. "Um...Potionry for that first one, but what're Holy, Flare, and Summoning? And...Dragoon, and Puppetmaster..." This was really confusing. "What the happens in the Survival Class?"

[Sara's shadow]

Brought out of her reveree by Ethan's words, Sara pondered her response. How do they train you to see the future, anyway? She thought suddenly. Shapeshifting might need practice, but was it even possible to learn to see on command? It seemed that there was a lot more to magic than just learning to control your power. What did music have to do with anything, for instance? She assumed history was just the history of magical events, but she couldn't be sure. The others, as Jay had pointed out, were confusing to say the least; Sara waited for the man to answer before distracting him with more questions.

[J-Bear!]

Xeardia laughed at Ethan. The school loomed ahead. "Any questions before we go? And who do you want to give you your gift? One choose me, one choose Ethan."
