Asiroth....

[asiroth]

An orb drifts down from the sky over a mist covered ship, half sunken into the water being caressed by the waves of the coming tide. Slowly the orb flies around the mast in impatience. Suddenly a bright light illuminates the ship creating an aura of color around a man as he appears out of nowhere. The man is rather skinny dressed in a tunic and woodsman clothes as he leaps out of the air from the orb as it disappears into nothing. “Well it’s about time,” he says. “I thought I would never get out of there.” He slowly paces around the ship looking for something. “So… anybody out there?” he yells into the distance. “Well this is great what am I supposed to do out here, catch pneumonia?” he says as he looks for a place to sit. “Now the waiting game,” he remarks as he sits near the mast in the thickening fog.

"Oh, quit your jib-jabbering, would you?" The strong voice came from over Asiroth's head, and if the student were to look up, he would see a figure in a rather restful position on one of the mast's wooden, horizontal beams. It was a man, a little small in stature, but very nimble in appearance. His skin was unnaturally black, as was his hair, and even his outfit, which made the man hard to find in the dark, swirling fog. "You just got here and already you're complaining! Oh good lord, waiting? How utterly tragic!" The man's voice was quite mocking, as was the laughter that followed. He wasn't laughing with Asiroth, he was laughing at Asiroth. With springy movements, the man leaped up and swung down to Asiroth's level. Well... sort of. His feet seemed glued to the beam, so actually he was just hanging upside down. His impish hat even managed to stay on his head, his messy black hair staying in place perfectly. "You're Asiroth, I presume? I'm Rancid the elf, and I must say that I'm not particularly pleased to meet you." Rancid extended his hand for Asiroth to shake, though this appeared a little awkward because of the fact that Asiroth was on the ground and Rancid, was, well, hanging upside down from a sail beam.

[asiroth]

"Well you don't have to get snippy," Asiroth says as he stands up. "Well I guess it's not to late to introduce myself formally. My name is Alexander Asiroth but for the sake of time you can just call me Asiroth." Reaches out to shake Rancid's hand, which is kind of odd because it's upside down.

[[red].Raven]

Rancid held onto Asiroth's hand very briefly before pulling back and dropping to the ground, landing quietly on his feet. His eyes are without pupils and glow an intense white, a sharp contrast against his pitch black skin and attire. The dark elf only just barely manages to reach Asiroth's eyes when standing at his full height. "Well, enough with the small talk, time to get you to the Academy and as far away from me as possible!" Rancid clapped his hands together, sending a strange black dust swirling away from his palms. "Tell me, Alexandria- isn't that a girl's name?- do you think your powers are strong enough to carry us both across this lake? A simple yes or no will do, milady!" The elf grinned to reveal a set of sharpened teeth and somewhat forked tongue, glistening as he laughed. "Come on, don't have all night!" Rancid kicked his foot against the ground as if to hurry Asiroth along with his answer.

[asiroth]

"It's Alexader! And FYI if i can get myself out here i'm pretty sure i can get us back to the Academy." Alex grumbles as he looks around. "So, a first things first. Which way is the Academy?" Alex says as he scatches his head. "I know your so busy Rancid I'm just hopping that you didn't forget which direction the Academy is... Or is that too much for you to think about while you constantly belittle me with insults?"

[[red].Raven]

Rancid scoffed and waved off Asiroth's attitude, folding his dark arms across his chest and shifting his weight onto one leg. "Well, well, no need to be snippy. Didn't your mother teach you manners? Honestly now, we're all friends here, aren't we?" The dark elf laughed shamelessly before his glowing white eyes narrowed onto Asiroth. He grinned darkly, once again revealing his sharpened teeth. "We'll be traveling to the Academy together!" he announced, with mock excitement. "Won't that be fun?" Rancid snapped his fingers and a small wooden boat rose from the dark waters of the lake. It looked like a canoe that was previously owned by the Grim Reaper. Without a word, the dark elf hopped down into the boat. "Come now, Alexandria! We must be on our way and discuss your schedule! For the first 6 periods of the day, everyone will have the same schedule: Magic, Weaponry, Alchemy, Beastry, Master, and then a Break. Then come the optional classes.

For period 7, students get to choose from Music, History, or Potionry. Then, for period 8, you may choose from Holy, Flare, or Summoning. Period 9 can be Dragoon, Samurai, or Thievery. And finally, for period 10, you can choose from either Puppetmaster or Survival.” Rancid scratched his head. ”Well, I’ve done my part! Hurry and decide! And if you have any questions, get them out of the way as soon as you can!”

[asiroth]

"Well, I guess I'll take History, Holy, Dragoon, and Survival for my optional classes," Asiroth says as he walks cautiously toward the boat and stops in front of it. "I've only got a of question. What are the classes of Holy and Flare about?" Asiroth says he steps to the side of the boat inspecting it. "Is this thing going to sink the moment I step into it like a weird joke of yours or something? Well, anyway age before beauty!" Asiroth says as he makes a jester for Rancid to get into the boat.

[[red].Raven]

Rancid released a cackling round of laughter, wiping tears out of his eyes. "What a silly question!! What are Holy and Flare all about? Why, you ignorant child, you! Everyone knows that, surely!" The dark elf's laughter continued as he hopped down into the boat, making its burnt wood creak beneath him. "Clearly you spend far too much time in front of your mirror. And," A scheming grin broke out across Rancid's expression. "If I had wanted to throw you into the lake, I would have done it before introducing myself." Sighing, Rancid placed one hand on his hip and one against his forehead, clearly disappointed with this student. "Well, I suppose I should bestow some knowledge upon you. In Holy, you learn all about white magic, and, likewise, Flare teaches all about black magic. My personal favorite." The elf grinned, pointing at the empty space in the demonic boat. "Now would you please hurry this along and get down into this boat?"

[asiroth]

"You know it wouldn't kill you to show just a little bit of compassion once and a while," Asiroth said as he carefully stepped into the boat. "And another thing, I only spent ten minutes in front of the mirror this morning." Asiroth said proudly of himself, knowing it usually takes longer.... "And that you for asking my question. Knowing the difference in the two has changed my mind. I think I'll institute Flare for Holy now." Asiroth says as he sits at the other end of the boat facing Rancid. "I may not look like it but I am a fast learner and I can see it will be a challenge to get you to like me... I like that. Well, enough of my blathering lets get this show on the road!"

[[red].Raven]

OOC:// Sorry for taking longer than usual with this!

"Flare for Holy, you say? You sure? Is that you final answer??" Rancid pointed dramatically at Asiroth for a few seconds before shrugging. "Alright then, Flare it is. Now, please keep all hands, legs, elbows, ribs, tails, wings, glutes, and other appendages inside the boat at all times, unless you want them to be savagely ripped from their sockets and fed to my pet piranhas." Turning his back to Asiroth, the dark elf placed one pointed boot against the bow of the boat and clapped his hands. The flotation device shot forward at an alarming rate, but Asiroth and Rancid wouldn't feel any movement at all. The boat kept a direct course, cutting across the lake and sending up waves as it flew over the water. "Marvelous night for a calming ferry, wouldn't you say?" Rancid cackled above the roar of wind until, all at once, the boat came to a stand still, resting on the shore in front of a huge, towering structure; Twilight Moon Academy. The dark elf hopped from the boat and motioned for Asiroth to do the same. "Come one, ride's over! Shake your tail feathers and get out of my boat! I have to get it back to the Grim Reaper before sunrise... Oh, and, here, this is for you." Rancid tossed a small, worn leather pouch at Asiroth with a small, swirling grey orb inside.

***Asiroth has Received***
Orb of the Black Rain Serpent
A small, smoky orb that could easily fit in the palm of one's hand. The mist inside resembles thousands of snakes coiling around one another.
When used in battle, this orb allows Asiroth to summon one of three things. Either a heavy downpour of black rain to help him escape from a tricky situation, a dozen black, venomous shadow snakes to help him with an attack, or a shield of solid darkness for defense. Each summon only lasts for two posts. Orb can only be used once per battle.

//Congratulations! You may now reply to this and then proceed to the other areas of TMA ^^ It's a little too late to join any classes, so you're free to create a thread anywhere you like ^^ I made this one a little short just to get you out of here faster, to make up for taking so long with it :]

Asiroth slowly walks out of the boat onto the grounds of The Academy. Stopping as he glanced at the Academy with the leather pouch that Rancid had just gave him in hand and stared off at the Academy standing before him. "Words can not explain the gratitude and excitement I feel at this moment. You have know idea what this means to me," Asiroth said to rancid as he stared at the Academy. "Even if it is late for classes, there is at least the grand idea of finally making it here. And thanks for the Orb of the Black Rain Serpent, I'm sure it will come in handy. Hope you make it back to the Grim Reaper before sunrise, the night is still young," Asiroth said as he started to walk to the Academy. "Have an 'unfortunate' evening Rancid, you deserve it," Asiroth said as he waved goodbye to the dark elf, looking gloomier than when he first met him. Asiroth then turned back to the Academy walking slowly to the building, eager to begin his days at the Academy.
