The area around the Frozen Arch fell into silence. The few skeletal birds nearby took off in a scattered rush, and the creatures roaming the area vanished without a trace. The Arch blazed a brilliant purple as a claw burst out and pulled its body through the gateway to the underworld. A demon-like body crawled out, the blackened, charred skin peeling back to reveal a simple Blood Elf, who had taken the form which would suit him most in the dark depths of the underworld. The first noticable thing about Zephyr would be the limp body of a boy slung across his shoulder, a student who had fallen by battle into the underworld, fighting braveley until overcome by the undead that had claimed the land below. Sensing this, the teacher had gone down to rescue his previous student, dragging him back up to the Frozen Arch in an attempt to save the child. Zephyr growled as he kicked the final imp off his foot, throwing it into the underworld just as his magic ceased to hold the gateway open. He dropped Trinity to the ground and shot a bolt of puplre lightning into his body, healing him from the harm the demons had caused him, mentally and physically.

Darkness had never been so abundant near Trinity before, it was frightening. A purple radiance emanated from his body and faded away shortly after Zephyr's lightning bolt touched him. Trinity slowly began to open his eyes. Everything he saw was a fuzzy blur at first, but then his eyes began to focus and so his view of the Frozen Arch became clear. A geyser of magma shot up a few feet away from where Trinity was lying, startling the young angel. Upon getting up, Trinity felt something attached to his back, encumbering his balance. A pair of ivory feathered wings protruded from Trinity's back, tucked together in an upside down V-shape. Angel's wings were normally attached upon an angel's back when born, but Trinity's and a select few of angels' wings didn't develop until later in their lifetime, usually until they lived for 100 years. Trinity's newfound wings however, just arrived at his ripe age of 17. He took a moment to learn how to spread his wings, then flap them, enabling him to fly. He hovered above the air with grace for several seconds. Promptly afterward he landed on his bum on a sizzling rock, creating a loud 'hsssssssss' on impact. Trinity jumped up in pain, rubbing his posterior, but smiling the whole way through. He felt like a brand new angel. He turned to face Zephyr, a face he hadn't seen for what seemed like forever. Trinity's eyes widened, he realized that since he hadn't seen Zephyr's face for what seemed to be forever, how long was he away? "Zephyr," he queried, "how long have I been gone?"

Zephyr watched the boy with lazy dark eyes, his hands on his hips. Typical angel, never hesitant to go all out in a rather flamboyant way whenever they discovered something new. He sighed, resisting the urge to zap a few feathers off Trinity's left wing to make him unbalanced, just for kicks, but decided against this as teacher's should be responsible and not harm their students. On Tuesdays. He folded his arms, shaking back his thick dark hair from his eyes, "You've been gone about... Well, do you want the whole truth in it's entire wholeness? You've been gone for 10 years." He paused for dramatic effect, and also possibly caused the sudden lack of light due to clouds that had randomly flooded the area. He shook his head solemnly, patting Trinity's shoulder. A moment later, before Trinity could respond, the clouds vanished and Zephyr laughed, "I'm just kidding, boy. You haven't been gone long. Maybe a month or two?" He shrugged, then began walking towards a glistening portal, "We might want to head back to the Territories. Don't want the Headmaster worrying about me. Wouldn't be good for his back worms." He stood by the portal, foot tapping in impatience.

Zephyr's attempt at humor swiftly blew over Trinity's head, as a rock burst a few yards away from him, stealing his attention. Trinity did manage to catch the part of a few months that had pasted since his unintentional, impromptu disappearance.
A few months, eh? Lord! I must look terrible, I've gotta check myself in a mirror when we get back. Hey, what the, where's where's my sphere?
Trinity looked down upon his torso and all attached ligaments, he was scarred heavily, though the pain had been nullified by Zephyr, it was quite the shock. His armor was dented and singed. The softer fabrics torn and burned, an ebony outline surrounding every bit that had been ripped asunder. Images flashed about in Trinity's thoughts. He could see legions of undead marching onward against him, and dark flames surrounding every one of his limbs holding him still, as the undead drew closer raising their arms and weapons as they began to attack...
SNAP OUT OF IT!
Trinity shook his head violently from left to right once, coming out of his nightmarish daze. Remarkably, he suffered no psychological harm from these memories, Zephyr's healing magic was indeed powerful. He stepped into the portal. Sparkles seemed to shimmer all around Trinity as he asked a question to Zephyr, "So, I lost my weapon, and need new clothes and armor. When we get back to the Territories, may I return to my homelands briefly to referbish myself with such items?"

Zephyr lazily flopped onto the ground, where he stretched out to his content, slipped his ams behind his head, then shut his eyes. He silently tapped his foot, then finally spoke, "Nnnn. No way, kido! Errr, or just do it when I'm not looking. Same difference." He shrugged with indifference, then rolled onto his stomach. He kicked himself up, then looked at Trinity, "Honestly, I'd just go to the Shops. I can lend you about 5k SP, maybe a bit more if you never do that again. Anyways, I'm tired. I had to get out of bed for this... You all done?"

"I'm sorry about waking you up, but I don't want to take your money, nor leave the school again after I've been away for such a while. Hmm, what to do? Oh wait! I think I've got it! I almost forgot that I could do this! If you didn't know this about me, I was trained with the ability to create things out of light, you see," he paused, "well just watch.
Trinity spread both his arms out, palms facing forward. Two orbs of light began to take shape in his hands, sparking as they increased in size. Once they reached their apex in size-about the same length of Trinity's hands- he slapped his hands together violently producing a tremedous rumble equivalent to that of a crack of thunder after lightning strikes. Trinity's eyes turned to extreme focus and concentration on the now single orb and it began to take shape. An elegant dagger formed in Trinity's hands after molding out the structure with both hands. The blade was crystalline in composition, and the hilt was pure silver, trimmed with radiant gold. A single diamond was in the center of one side of the hilt.
Trinity held the dagger out in his hand, allowing Zephyr to analyze his craftsmanship. The dagger began to fade away from existence as it fell under a shadow until it was gone. "Hehe, forgot about that, the only downside to this process of crafting weaponry and armour is that for it to stay physical, there needs to be a light source shining upon it. Under shadows and in the darkness they disappear for there's nothing around to 'power' them up. Oh well, what am I supposed to do now? I'm pretty sure there have been things that I've missed, stuff I need to redo, could you fill me in?"

He was on the ground once more, eyes firmly shut. He spoke without looking at his student, "Well, there's another fight going on, well, two actually. They're not very major though. Only a few people died." He grinned, "And the classes changed around a bit so let's redo your schedule. "Out of each group, pick one class: "Music, History, or Potionry "Holy, Flare, or Summoning "Dragoon, Samurai, or Thievery "Finally, Survival or Puppetmaster."
He laughed to himself, "I already know you'll want to take Holy... Dragoon would be a nice class to take... And Puppetmaster might interest you... Before those classes, you still have the main ones, Weaponry and Magic and such. Now, choose!"

Trinity's mouth dropped a little when Zephyr said a few students had died in two fights currently taking place. He thought not much of it except that that was rather a malicious thing for a teacher to say about a student's death. He let his mind drift to the choices at hand. After a moment's thought he told his master teacher, "I'll take your word on Dragoon, Holy, and Puppetmaster, and I'll also choose Music." The idea of a fight crept back into his mind, "Also, where are these fights taking place?"

Zephyr raised an eye, "Well, you are some adventurous little boy, aren't you? Reminds me of the Headmaster when he was little. Not that I remember much about that... That was ages ago! Well anyways, I'd also suggest you go to the one just above us!" He grinned broadly and pointed to the faint outline of a large platform the size of a field above their heads. There, the skies were bright. Zephyr looked at his student, "Mind you, a pretty big battle's going on there... Not a lot of kids went to go fight with this one." He leaned in and whispered, "They're scared of HER and her beast!!!" He laughed, "Not gonna ruin the surprise for you, though."

(Now if I were to enter this battle, would I need to post in another thread, because I'm assuming I would because it'd be just weird to continue said battle here.)
"A battle, after I have just suffered quite an ordeal, and lack weapons and armor, would probably result in me severally hurt. Lucky I'm an angel, we don't die like mortals do. Oh well I'm going to go, I feel I should help where I can," Trinity stood still for a moment, focusing all he could on light. He cocked his head upward to the sky as his body began to morph into light. From his head and facial features down to his feet, he was constructed of light. His body wasn't stable, parts would shift apart from other parts, making him look like he was swaying in the wind.
He turned to Zephyr and asked, "When this is over, and I'm not dead, which class should I report to?"

Zephyr raised an eye, "Ignorance may be bliss, but it can still kill you. Immortal or not, take heed that this is not your average opponent." He folded his arms, and spat viciously on the ground, "Angel, Demon, Dwarf, or Human; you'll all die the same in the end. Now, after the battle, if you manage to live, report to your Magic class. Oh, and I'd suggest taking the stairs." He pointed to a luminescent outline of a crystaline staircase leading from the edge of the field to the one above. He unfolded his arms and cracked his fingers, "Saves a loottt of energy."
