After seemingly months of walking, a cloaked figure made it's way to the Academy gate, the only visible parts being his dragon like lower and a long red scaled tail with a frill down the middle. As he reached the gate he looked around and waited to see if someone would show up. If anyone had seen him, they would have notice that his figure, despite being hidden by the fabric, was rather fragile and thin. His scaled feet were bleeding and covered in sand, dirt, and various other materials from nature.
"Hello?" He called out, his voice hoarse from lack of use and water.

Avon had seen his arrival the day before, though he had not quite seen what to fully expect. The starved figure at the gate was depressing... what exactly had that poor Meta gone though? He shook his head to himself and picked up his pace. Once reaching the gate, he slowed down, holding out a water bottle to the new arrival.
"Welcome back, Zephyr. Take this, it'll help. Come with me." He turned, though kept an eye on the other Meta, and then slowly started to lead him back to the main building where the Nurse's Office was located.

Taking the water, he downed the entire bottle and he bowed his head as he coughed a couple times. "Thank you." Zephyr says weakly, raising his head he looks up at the other and follows him. "How..do you know my name?" He asked curiously, his secondary form starting to weaken, causing some initial dizziness."I have been trapped for .. years, how would someone know me?"

"I know everyone's name. Don't worry about that for now, just save your energy." Avon shook his head a little, and then opened the door to the Nurse's Office once they arrived. He lead Zephyr in, and motioned to a bed. "Lay down, let the nurse do her job. We'll speak again once you've rested enough."

[~Timeskip of two weeks~]
Two weeks later, Zephyr was finally healthy as he could be, though he was still skinny as a stick but that would take awhile for him to get his muscle and body back. Standing up and stretching as he woke up on the day he could be released, the Dragon like meta looked at his feet, wondering how on earth he had managed to survive that long and not wear his feet to stubs. Zephyr couldn't remember his secondary form - in his eyes he saw it as he normally was, but that could've been due to how long he had been going without water, food, and rest.

Avon opened the door to the Nurse's Office, and then shuffled inside. He looked around, then spotted Zephyr. "I see you've recovered nicely." He nodded, then walked over to where the other Meta was. "A lot has changed since you've been here. How much do you remember?" He settled into one of the visitor's chairs and stared at Zephyr expectantly.

Zephyr sat back down on the bed, running a hand through his fiery hair, his hand lingering on the edge of one of his horns, "Honestly, not all that much. I'm still shocked I even made it back..it was a long walk without food or water.. that.. can't be normal." He said awkwardly as he looked up. As he looked at the Elder, he tilted his head to the side slightly, wondering if he had once talked to the other Demon many years ago, but he just couldn't recall.
"I can't even remember why I was being interrogated either. The people who had me seemed keen on trying to get some information they thought I had out of me.. but I never remembered it." He sighed, scratching the back of his head as he looked down to his feet. "And one day I just couldn't take being in a dark cold cellar anymore so I left.".

Avon nodded a little, looking thoughtful. He was silent for awhile before sighing, and then looked at Zephyr solemnly. "It appears you've caught a strain of a virus on we Meta suffer from, it causes amnesia and a reversion to our youngest stage. Whatever you caught probably wasn't very strong, so you're still a Teen stage, but it appears to have wiped your memory clean." He stood up with another sigh. "I suppose you can take this as a second chance, a reset button, if you will. I've already made arrangements for you in the dorms, we'll just say that you're a new student. With the recent happenings we can say that your parents backed out of the adoption. Perhaps with time you may remember, some of the effected students have had flashbacks, but I wouldn't count on it."

"Thank you." Zephyr bowed politely, though he kept his head low as he thought, something coming to his mind. "Though in all honesty, if I had been captured for interrogation, I don't think I would like to remember things before I got this..virus thing that you talked about. If they kept me that long, then they thought that I had known something major.." as he spoke, his voice got quieter, as if he was getting smaller. He soon wrapped his arms around himself, rubbing his upper arms with his hands as he remembered the coldness of the cell.

"I'm sure that whatever it was they thought you knew was nothing you would have known, Zephyr." Avon shook his head. "Nor anything you would have had access to. I'm sure there's a way to lock those memories of that place if you would like to try that?"

He shook his head, standing as he did, "Thank you, but no.. I'd rather keep them so I can grow stronger. Being fearless won't make you stronger an right now that is a place I fear, so I need to remember it to become stronger." He stated as he started to walk about the room to find a shirt. The nurse was kind enough to give him a pair or scrub pants, but they didn't have a shirt that would fit over his horns and have room for his wings. Compared to his 'old' wings, the draconic wings were quite a bit bigger and bulkier than normal demon wings.

"All right. If you need anything don't hesitate to seek me out. Your room should have everything already in it." Avon nodded and started to head out... to go do whatever it is that he does.

"Thank you again." Zephyr smiled, finally finding a shirt and putting it on rather awkwardly, his wings flailing about awkwardly as he struggled to get into it, grumbling at the fabric.
