I Don't Smile

[[red].Raven]

A tall figure clad in almost all black stood stalk still on a rather slick looking stone that jutted part-ways from the cold lake water. It was a new moon tonight, so there were only stars to give off their dull light. The darkness seemed to make the fog thicker than usual. The lean man stood with an air of power around him, his pure white eyes staring out across the murky water. Pointed ears were the telltale sign that he was part elf; half at the least. There was no mouth on his face and his eyes seemed to hold a permanent coldness within them.

A ripple in the water around the rock did nothing to draw his attention. A bony, ghost-like hand broke the surface and latched onto the man's ankle. Again, he took no notice. The ghost drew its head from the water and released a long, eerie moan that it never got to finish. By simply aiming his palm toward the ghoul, this figure had somehow disintegrated it into no more than ash. 'The Third is here, I can feel it'

The figure was named Dimor Ofeir, and he had come to the Academy in search of something that would bring him power. Never even blinking, Dimor stood still as a statue upon the rock out in the water as boats creaked and fog concealed hidden enemies.

Dimor seemed to spell out problems for the residents of Twilight Moon Academy.

[J-Bear!]

A pretty young woman, showing her pointed vampiric teeth, waved at him. She approached and gave him a better look. She was wearing a thin turquoise shawl, half-moon glasses, and purple camouflage plants. "I'm assuming - which by the way, darling, is a dangerous business - you're Dimor Ofeir, my newest student?" Her flip-flops pattered charmingly on the rain-covered dock, and her yellow eyes were kind and motherly.

((Oh, and because I doubt you'll want me to go into huge detail, here's a link to Dimor's picture fc01.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/029/4/0/A_Demon__s_Gaze_by_Fatale16.jpg))

A few moments after the woman spoke, Dimor turned slowly to face her. He gave her a piercing, though seemingly emotionless, stare over his shoulder before he leaped form his rock onto the docks before her. 'I should have known something like this would occur' Though he had no mouth, Dimor could still speak. His voice was smooth and chilling, with an airy undertone to it. "Under normal circumstances I would take direction from no one, but seeing as you are to show me the way to the Academy, I have no choice. Yes, I am Dimor." Dimor considered himself much more superior than those around him, so the idea of a 'teacher' didn't particularly tickle his fancy.

[J-Bear!]

The woman nodded slightly. "I am Annalie, but call me Lee. Too girly for me." She remained calm, showing nor feeling any sign of shock at his tone and demeanor. "May I ask what your powers are, darling?"

[[O.O Scary . . .]]

((bwar >3))

Dimor gave her another hard stare before he held is hand in front of himself, palm up. Without looking away from Lee, he complied with her request. Black fire spread along his palm. He let it dance for a moment before he held up his other hand. The flame streaked toward it, but when it reached its destination, it wasn't fire anymore. Dimor held in his hand a dark dagger-like blade that near about eleven inches in length, not including the hilt. Making a small gesture with his empty hand, a small hunk of earth rose form the ground.

Dimor threw the blade at the earth- without even once looking away from his 'teacher'- and both items were engulfed in black fire before disappearing. Lowering his arms back to his sides, he was silent for a moment. "Shadow Elementalist." he stated blankly.

[J-Bear!]

"Lovely," Lee replied, smiling vaguely. "Do you think your powers could get us both across the lake, or would you rather I do it?" She smirked, knowing he'd probably be vain enough to try it.

[[red].Raven]

Finally, after that long stare, Dimor looked away from Lee to across the lake. Well, he knew he could get himself across, but why bring her as well? Now that he knows its across the lake he could just go and leave her to do it on her own. But no, that probably wouldn't help his plans for the future very much. 'I don't feel like wasting effort on someone else' Not even bothering, Dimor simply stated "No, they couldn't get us both across." He didn't like Lee's smirk, it didn't seem very respectful, but he decided to let it go.

((lol Such arrogance xD))

[J-Bear!]

"Really, now? Alright, I suppose you're not powerful enough. I thought you would be different, not as . . . timid," Lee prompted. She wanted students to reach their full potential. "But if you insist, I'll conjure up a boat."

[[red].Raven]

Dimor's hard stare turned into an icy, fierce glare. Muscles in his arm twitched with aggravation. 'Not... powerful enough? Timid?' Well, Lee just prompted her way onto Dimor's blacklist. Despite is anger, Dimor was very good at holding is unaffected demeanor. His dim shadow swirled in odd patterns for a moment before everything seemed normal once more. He nodded sharply to Lee, as though giving her permission to conjure the boat. "That sounds adequate." He stated, indifferently.

[J-Bear!]

[[He does know she can read minds, right? EKSDEE.]]

Lee laughed. "I can read minds, you know. I was just trying to get you to use your powers, darling. You're trying to find power, aren't you?" Her tone softened. "Might as well conjure up the boat then, eh?" Suddenly, a motor boat appeared, and Lee was in it. "Get in."

[[red].Raven]

((Well, he does now xD))

Dimor's fierce look turned to one of slightly annoyed intrigue. He nodded again. "Yes, I am." Jumping and landing nimbly in the boat, he sat down and crossed his arms. He idly opened and closed one hand, creating the black fire and then destroying it. "Will this take long?" Dimor question, disinterestedly.

[J-Bear!]

[[EKSDEE.]]

"Figured as much, darling." Lee smiled. "And no." She started the boat. "Anything in particular you want to know about the school?"

[[red].Raven]

Dimor was silent for a moment... well, a few moments, but not too long considering Dimor usually didn't talk very often. "Are many others are there?" It was always good to have a rough idea of numbers. "And are there other Drow elves?" Finding common heritage would also be beneficial.

[J-Bear!]

Lee frowned. "I don't honestly know how many others there are, but there are Drow elves. Anything else before I give you your schedule?"

[[red].Raven]

Again, Dimor was silent, staring across the water's surface and into its depths. "No." The thought of a schedule lessened his liking of the school even further. It was just another form of being told what to do, which Dimor did not take well.
