[ Enter ]
The travels from the dorm and out into the school grounds would bring Caleb to the place known as the Divine Hills. On the horizon, a sunset had begun, reflecting its beautiful colors upon the crystal waters below. Making the trek to the top of a hill, he would find the tree, its twisting branches made perfectly as seats. Using his vampiric strength, a single leap would take him to these seats, allowing him to land gently upon it. Gazing over the hill, he would merely watch the sunset, the waters sawying to and fro as they collided with the shoreline. This was true beauty.

There was a sound of wood against stone as a person seemed to clamber over a nearby rock pile on the side of the hill. Cyndon was standing there, holding Camellia's staff in hand and smiling openly as he took a deep breath and exhaled openly.
"AH! Such a brilliant day it's been! And it continues, i see!" He suddenly realized Caleb sitting nearby. He froze up for a second, he had never met this person in his life. Then he noticed it was a Vampire, so he instinctively looked over at the crystal sword at his belt. It simply sat still, not moving at all.
He walked up to Caleb and smiled openly as he held out a hand.
"Pleasure to meet you, Sir, my name is Cyndon Kouvindao. People normally call me Kou for short." His eyes flashed happily for a second as he held out his hand waiting for a response.

As the sound of stone and wood collided, followed by the "speech" by Cyndon, Caleb would turn to view the source. There, he would see what appeared to be a mix between dark elf and light elf, sword on his belt. Cyndon would introduce himself, and Caleb would smile happily. Gripping onto his hand and shaking it from his awkward position, he would then introduce himself. "Pleasure to meet you as well. My name is Caleb Thomas." He would then glance out back to the sea, watching as the hues of the sky reflected upon its surface. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

Cyndon looked back at the water with a wide grin on his face. He couldn't help but appreciate the water to begin with; and finding another person that seemed to like it as much as he did, it made him feel even happier.
"You like water as well? The town i came from was practically covered in water. I suppose that influenced my decision to be an elementalist like this!" Cyndon chuckled a little as he took a seat nearby looking at the light bouncing off the water with a slight smile on his face. It looked as if he was spacing out, but he was still listening to what was said.

"Another elementalist?"
Looking at Kou, he would again smile, revealing the large fangs that had replaced his canines. "So you are an elementalist, too?" he'd say, obviously hinting at the fact that he was an elementalist. Wondering about the elements he had chosen or was endowed with, he would give him a curious look, but soon return his gaze to the sea, the light of the area always changing color.

"Ah! You are an elementalist as well!" Cyndon shot back to attention. He laughed heartily as he looked over at Caleb.
"I'm an elementalist of Ice and Water. Two of the main elements of my old castle town." At this he sighed a little "I always wonder how my mother and father are doing, and even if the castellan is still alive."
He soon changed the topic of conversation.
"What elements do you seem attuned to?" He asked as he smiled innocently. He had begun to wonder why Caleb was sitting out here alone to begin with, and he hadn't yet figured out that the sword was stirring a little bit. It was glowing slightly as it shook very lightly, and it seemed that only Caleb would notice it.

"If the castellan is still alive...?" Drifting from these thoughts, he would then explai nto Kou his own elements. "I myself am a user of Shadow and, for some reason, Ice. I come to this Academy in hopes that I may better myself and become stronger." The last note was a bit unnecessary, but he felt he should say it anyway. Yawning as he reached into his shirt, he would withdraw the amulet given to him by Akira. Fiddling with it in his hands, he would then drop it, giving Kou an apologetic look. He didn't mean to be rude, but he sometimes drifted off into a realm of daydreaming.

Cyndon looked at the pendant with a slight look of interest on his face, but he soon forgot about it as it was dropped. The sword continued to shake, but still unnoticeable by apparently both of the people sitting on the hill. He listened intently to the story of Caleb, and soon he chuckled when he heard about Ice being one of his elements.
"We have something in common there!" He smiled as he pulled some water from nearby, forming it into a bubble floating near his fist. He concentrated on stopping the motion of the water and soon it began to solidify into ice right before their eyes.
"Something i picked up from Magic class. I never would have thought to control the water to freeze it into ice if i hadn't talked with the teacher like i have." He held the ice chunk in place and watched it slowly melt because of the heat of the air.

Watching in amazement as the water was shifted directly into ice, Caleb's smile would only grow. His excitement to begin classes here would now only grow exponentially. He wanted to be able to control his powers, knowing nothing about them right now. "Impressive! I have yet to start classes yet, though." He'd say, rather disappointed in himself. The only thing he could control was the Kumori Akuma, but that would send him into torpor if used too long.

Cyndon took a step close to Caleb and the ice orb followed him a little further. There was a sudden tug at Cyndon's waist, and the ice fell and shattered. The look on Cyndon's face went immediately from happiness to nervousness as his head whipped down to look at the sword now shaking heavily and shining pure white light. He drew the sword from its sheath to stop the effects and soon held it in a non offensive way.
"You have some explaining to do. This sword only reacts to certain Vampires, and it seems to have taken a liking to you" He said the word liking with obvious sarcasm. He was not in a particularly angry mood, simply a cautious tone came to his voice as he realized what could happen next.

"Blah, blah, blah..." muttered a soft voiced young woman, she was a rather tiny being, short and willowy as she seemed to appear from nowhere as if a ghost. She was clothed in a long jacket that covered her body amidst the large clothing that shrouded the actual shape of her body. Her hair was long and black, rippling over her shoulders and her eyes looking from one person to the other though they stopped on the vampire for a few moments, narrowing in disgust. It didn't suprise her if she went unnoticed, she figured the two probably weren't paying attention, they were both probably idiots anyways.

A brilliant light would suddenly come forth, specifically from the blade that adorned Kou's hip. Shifting nervously, he would shield his eyes as he withdrew it. The peculiar light would suddenly subside, and Kou's attitude would change as well. "You have some explaining to do. This sword only reacts to certain Vampires, and it seems to have taken a liking to you." He would appear to be rather serious, even dangerous, if Caleb was not careful.
Just then, another would approach. Her crimson eyes would scan the two as she walked by, long hair flowing past her shoulders. A bit distracted for a moment, Caleb would suddenly snap back into reality as he turned back to Kou. Blood red occuli would glare as he withdrew his blade. Shikyo, otherwise known as Death, had carried Caleb through worse times than this. "Who might you be then?" He'd call to the girl, still watching Kou carefully. Directing the conversation now to the elf, he'd snicker a bit. "What group would that be? And what good would fighting me do you?"

Cyndon glared at the Vampire Caleb, and soon his attention flitted over to Eithne as well.
"Another Vampire? Which one is it reacting to...? Damn." He cursed aloud as he took the sword up in a defensive position. In his real mind he didn't want to fight either of them. He was more than willing to leave it be, he just wanted to live in relative peace. As such he soon put the sword back in its sheath and decided he'd try diplomacy instead.
"Okay, lets calm this down a bit. This sword was given to me by the Castellan of my castle town. He happens to be a Vampire as well; and this sword is the only way to keep my castle town safe. I was told that if this thing ever reacted to a vampire to get away from them as fast as i could or even kill them if i had to. I'm not willing to do either. But i'm not giving this sword up for the life of me." He launched into explaining himself in a long-story-short kind of way. He realized it would take much more to fully explain himself, but he hoped that sheathing the sword would at least show he was not going to be a problem for either of them.

((I swear I just read Cyndon's post now, I didn't intend to insert Eithne right at that moment... ^^; sorry there.))
Eithne paused, doing a quirky little military style about face and looking towards Caleb for a moment, her ruby red gaze falling on him like two daggers, "A vampire, and I'm sure that's all you need to know." she said simply to him through telepathy, her pink lips shaped into a mysterious smile that would have made the Mona Lisa look like an open book. She was unusual for a vampire, her skin was lightly tanned- she had been in sunlight recently, either that or she had found herself some damn realistic sunless tanner. She placed a hand on her hip, "Anything else you'd like to ask?" she inquired, still only placing her words into Caleb's mind instead of talking. She brushed her hair behind her ear and nodded to Caleb and Cyndon, seeming almost mocking in the little formal action. She had no real intention to fight Cyndon. "If you don't intend to attempt to kill me or the idiot next to you- why instigate a fight?" the question specified to Cyndon, she didn't find the inquiry necessary for Caleb.

"Alright then. Touchy."
Telepathy was not his favorite thing. He could never think anything without someone reading his god damn mind! Blocking out all thoughts, he would too sheathe his sword, glancing from the second vampire, to Kou, and then to the vampire again. "Well... Seems like you're a bit hostile towards vampires from Britain..." he'd speak, directing this at Kou. "And you... You're just the same way." He'd state, smirking slightly as he did so. His accent was thick, but not to the point where his speech was unrecognizable.
Now, using telepathy to speak to the vampire only, he would begin his questioning. "Uhh... Yes, actually. Mind telling me your actual name? 'A vampire' doesn't really help these days." Saying this with a sarcastic tone, he would hope that she didn't react negatively towards this. Now taking some time to look over the newcomer, he would begin with her face, taking in as much information as he could. Looking directly into her eyes, he would mentally frown as he saw nothing. Except for a little hostility, perhaps.
