Here she was...the Ghost Shipyard. Lucia walks through cautiously, with one of her greatswords in her right hand, the other strapped to her back, since she wasn't skilled enough to wield both at once. Despite the sword itself looking like it would need two hands to be held, Lucia seemed to have little trouble holding it in one hand. Either way, this place gave her the creeps, and she was half expecting some sort of skeleton monster to jump out...or something. Not to mention how cold it was. Even with the layers of clothing under her armor, she was still feeling a rather nasty chill, which made her even more uneasy. All she knew was that, in order to find the place she was seeking, she needed to be here.

((Past tense, please.... ._. really. You switched tenses in the beginning from present tense, to past tense. linger awaaay from present tense.))
A rather short being with long seafoam hued hair looked up at Lucia, the lower half of the being's face was covered up with a mask of sorts, some kind of respirator most likely. He was a diminuitively proportioned... elf? from the elongated and pointed ears. His arms were crossed over his chest, "An' ye're th'one tha' I'm takin' t'Twiligh' Moon'Cademy?" He asked, tilting his head to the side and his purple eyes looked through the mist of the Ghost Shipyard and towards Lucia.

(sorry. Old habits die hard x.x; )
Lucia looked to the strange elf as he spoke to her and let out a sigh of relief upon realizing he was friendly...or so it seemed. She was barely able to make out what he said, and nodded once he finished speaking. "Err...yeah, I guess. I didn't know anyone would be taking me there, but I guess it would be easier than trying to find it myself." She looked around a bit, then shuddered "The sooner I can leave this dreadful place, the better..."

Terent nodded, "Aye." He aggreed as he started off on a brisk short man walk. He couldn't have been taller than five feet, he was almost definately under that figure. "Come on, then- we'd be still needin' tah get ourselves a ride on back." Which raised the question of how he had gotten here in the first place but it seemed unimportant at the current moment. He walked with enough purpose to dismiss anything odd about him and one wise person said that small people are to be feared for thier big personalities, and it seemed like this man indeed had a prominent and unusual demeanor, carrying himself smoothly and with the poise of someone who very well understood the value of self importance though there was a serving nature of a teacher, or perhaps someone whom had served as a very low ranking military member for quite some time. His eyes looked about, sharply picking out the slightest details in the fog and he hummed a soft song that was long forgotten by many other minds over the years, but he remembered it.

She watched the small man with a bit of a smile. He had a bit of a droll aura about him...at the very least, she didn't have to go through this place alone. As he started walking, she followed after him, and, though she was curious about how he got here if they would be needing a ride back, she chose not to say anything. She more or less remained silent unless spoken to, since small talk wasn't her forte. Either way, she re-strapped her sword to her back and stretched a bit...her arm almost fell asleep from holding the sword for so long.

((SO TERRIBLY SORRY!))
Terent yawned, "Oh! An' by th'way, we needtah choose yer classes." He gave a pointed expression, "Every student 'as a few classes tha' everyone 'as an' then yechoose yer classes." He acknowledged, picking up his pace slightly, making it almost a light jog for him due to his short legs while for someone else it would have been a brisk walk. "Music, 'istory, or Potionry." He listed the first group of options, "An' if ye need t'ask anythin than feel free tah." He smiled towards his student confidently.

She sped up her pace to match with his, then considers the options. Music didn't interest her in the least...not that she didn't like music, but taking a class in it didn't seem very appealing. The other two caught her interest, however. History, she assumed, would probably be about the history of the academy, in which she might learn about warriors in the past. Then there was Potionry. It wasn't something she ever thought about, but it would come in handy, if nothing else, to be able to treat any wounds she might receive when she's away from civilization. After giving it some thought, she finally spoke "I think I'll take History...though...is there some way I might also be able to take Potionry?...I mean...if not now, would I be able to take it in the future?"

"Ye can take Potionry a' a la'er dae, bu' jus a warnin'... Th'istory teacher is... off 'is noggin'." He looked seriously towards Lucia with the given warning, "But if i's really that choice than feel free tah i'. Yer next choices are 'Oly, Flare, or Summonin' an' if ye need 'elp wi' wha' they are, then feel free t'ask." He smiled, coming to a stop and looking at a large ship that was already preparing to leave.
"ey! Where're ya 'eaded?" He shouted up at the ship, his long elven ears twitching as if recieving a response though there wasn't one as far as anyone else could pick up, "Alrigh, this one'll do." He smiled, pulling out two of his three throwing axes, "Ow good is yer armstrength?" He asked, letting one of the axes fly, striking home in the back of the ship and he let the second one fly while he was pulling out the third one that looked newer and more well detailed and wrought than the others.

She smirked at his comment, trying to get a mental image of what the crazy history teacher must be like...at least it wouldn't be boring. It was then that she was presented with two more choices. "Summoning and Flare, huh? Summoning seems self-explanatory, but I can't say I know what Flare is...another type of Magic I presume...not really my thing, to be honest" When asked about her armstrength, she smiles lightly "Eh...pretty good, I guess...strong enough to effectively wield a broadsword. These don't really count though, since they're enchanted to let me use 'em with one hand, but I can swing a regular broadsword around no problem."

"'Oly, an' Flare are two opposi'es." He nodded, "'Oly is 'oly magic, mos'ly 'ealin' an' defensive spells, an' then Flare is all dark magics, the majori'y of i' is offensive." He nodded, his accent making it a bit difficult to discern that 'oly' meant a class by the name of 'holy' and it could be figured that you could very well face more than a couple problems with a teacher with a terribly confusing scotts-irish accent of sorts. He chucked the last ax into the back of the ship next to the first one and he motioned to the axes with a smile before he ran towards the edge. He jumped and he held onto the single ax and glanced back, "An' ye can 'ave th'other two."

There it was again...'Oly. It was when he mentioned something about it being defensive that she was able to put two and two together and figure out what he meant "OH! Holy!...right. Well, like I said, I'm not a fan of magic, but...if I must choose one, then I guess I'll go with Holy." It was then that she watched as he jumped to the ship he threw axes into, and hung on one of the axes. Taking his words as a suggestion, she does the same, holding onto the other two. "Do you do this often?..."

"Every so of'en." Terent would have shrugged but his shoulders were all stretched out from hanging by the axes, "I keep losin' tha' walkway, ye see." he explained, not even trying to explain what he meant, "An' ye need tah choose yer next classes, righ? Dragoon, Samurai, or Thievery are ye're choices fer this un." He smiled, his elven ears twitching slightly with bemusement, and one of those ears noticeable.... chewed, was it?

She smirks a bit, then sighs when given a third choice "...hmm...well, I certainly won't be doing Thievery...and, while I have tremendous respect for the Samurai, they tend to hold their weapons in both hands, and that defeats the purpose of my bringing both of my swords...Dragoon sounds like it'd be fun, but aren't they typically known for wielding lances and javelins?"

((Past tense, deary. Not present tense.))
"Fightin' on dragonback comes af'er a while, a good footin' is required first." Terent said with a slight nod, "An' yer dragon 'as tah get old enough." Terent mused, "Ye'd be raisin' them from an egg." he added as an afterthought as the ship pulled away from the docks, and hopefully heading towards Twilight Moon Academy, though from how Terent was going about things it was anyone's guess as to whether or not Terent had any clue exactly where they were going- because there really didn't seem to be any response to his earlier questions and doubt could only grow as the shore creeped steadily further away as the ship edged off into the water that seethed with angry souls of those long dead.

After giving it some thought, she finally gave her answer, though she was honestly content with her own fighting style "I suppose I'll take Samurai...from what I know about them, their fighting style is not much different from my current style...though I do intend to eventually start using both of my swords once I'm skilled enough...but yeah. Samurai." She looked back as the shore starts to disappear from their view, getting a bit of a chill as she looked down at the water"Geez...this place really is dreadful...don't mean to seem impatient, but how much further is it to the academy?"
