The West courtyard is set higher than the east courtyard. Unlike the round, east courtyard, it is a square shaped area that is just as beautiful and similarly made with shrubs and flowerbeds. A fountain is set into the ground with simple jets of water that fall into a grate on the ground... perfect for cooling off. Round benches and trees are seen less here, but there's plenty more space to spar then! Since this courtyard is set near the edge of a cliff facing west, people come here to eat dinner and watch the sunset. There's a strong railing seperating the cliff edge and the courtyard. If you look down into the off campus ravine, you'll see that it's not all that deep. If you fall, you'll probably be saved by the plantlife and all that... There's actually a ladder leading down to it from here!

Vesper popped out of the sky.
Vesper fell on her backside.
Vesper cursed a string of colorful words.
Vesper was a 15-year-old... thing... with green, scaely looking wings edged with gold and Vesper was very much a GIRL. Even if Vesper IS a boy's name.
Tossing her shoulder length locks of straight, amber-gold hair, Vesper turned her yellow-green eyes around the area. It was... big. And she was small. So... "Neh? Where ish dis place kyu?" She stood up, her thin, plated tail swishing. It was the same color as her wings, three feet long and spiked with something like a blade shaped scale plate. It sure looked purty though... purty, purty... purty-- hey, this must be like, some ancient civilization! Eh... except not so ancient. Maybe it was a modern one. Who knows? Old styles of architecture might be in style now... sorta. Except these didn't look like old architectural styles.
Vesper stared at the sky.
And stared.

Lee entered the wide are of te courtyard. His purple hair blew across his purple eyes, making it hard to see as he walked forward. He quickly grabbed it and tied it behind his Black and purple button up shirt and it fell to his black jeans. Lee looked toward the sky for any ravens, he found none. This was a good sign to him. After scanning the area for other students he found one staring at the sky, but at what he couldnt tell. He was astonished by her wings, he had seen a tail before but not wings. After being at ria, he thought he had seen it all, but now he was mistaken. His summon powers were acting up alot lately, which would explain why the water in the fountain was forming wolves and staring at him. They snarled angrily at him and jumped from their watery land to the ground and dashed toward him. His heart raced quickly as he moved his hand in their direction and a giant hand made of water grabbed them up and slamed them against the fountain making a big splash and they were gone. Lee sighed in relief and scratched his head wondering, 'why does this alwasy happen to me.' Looking back at the fountain again, birds were forming slowly from where the wolves once did. Their calls were that of crows as the rushed forward at him once more. "Just stop," he said to them, but they didnt obey. Instead they darted past him, he ducked to avoid, and circled back. Raising his hand once again they turned to regular water and splashed on the ground like rain. "I need a vacation," he said chuckling to himself.

Vesper turned her head towards the strange looking man who was playing with the water. She watched wierd looking animals form out of the water from the fountain. This is a really wierd looking place... people made things out of ... other things. And it all seemed so pointless! But she was a little intrigued and interested by the strangeness of his antics. Jumping to her feet, she walked silently over to him, but stayed at a distance, staring at him and his every movement. Vesper's tail swished back and forth at an average pace, not too fast and not too slow. The shiny scales on her wings and tail glistened, the sun reflected off her beautiful, rich-goldenamber locks of hair.

Rin entered the courtyard slowly, trailing after Haruko. She'd actually fallen a bit behind, her steps sluggish with her sleepiness. One hand still hung limp by her side, the other holding the bag securely over her shoulder. Her eyes drifted lazily around, but skipped over the people there. Despite what they were doing, it failed to catch her interest.
She looked at Haruko again, pausing beside her. So, they were going to get to... Olympus? Yeah, going to Olympus with a seed. That didn't make much sense to her, but she kept her comments to herslf, simply watching. After all, she'd been dragged into doing this just because she'd failed to bow to someone she didn't know. Making a random comment might make things worse.

Haruko made a crooked pout and wandered around the courtyard for the school. She wanted to find an open area where she could plant her Seed of the Great Tree. Hopefully Rin would lend some Spirit energy to make it roomier. She smiled as she found the perfect place to plant her Seed. It was a large open area, plenty of available water nearby and direct sunlight. Plus the soil was damp and she could tell it was mineral rich. She looked to Rin and laughed. ""Hey... Do you have any energy.. or a ghost or something that is a good gardener...? Or can you lend me some energy?" she said.
She reached into her bag and pulled out a trowel and dug a small hole, dropping her seed in and covering up the hole. She pulled a watering can out of her bag as well and filled it from the fountain... Which was well oxygenated and clean. And it seemed nutrient rich as well. The soil had lots of nitrogen in it. This place was perfect. She smiled and almost watered her plant, but waited for Rin to answer first.

Rin watched Haruko moving around, trailing slowly after her until they finally paused. Then she frowned at Haruko's question. "...I don't have a spirit constantly hanging around me," she muttered. "That'd be annoying." Then she sighed, glancing towards the sky before back to the younger girl. "I guess..." she mumbled, though she wasn't sure how one went about lending out their energy. She wasn't going to admit this though.
She shifted the bag slightly over her shoulder as she watched her begin to water the the seed she'd set the in ground, but then pause and wait.

"All right... can you help me water this seed then? Just grab part of the handle and pour with me." she said. She started to pour... just a drop... and then waited for Rin some more. She couldn't wait to get to Olympus. Hopefully Rin's energy wouldn't do anything to the tree. And hopefully the necklace wouldn't interfere at all. That would be annoying. She sighed and poured another drop or two... then held the watering can out in Rin's direction.
She was used to tree travel... but she wondered if Rin would adjust. It was... odd. She sighed and watched as the sun shined onto the spot. A small sapling sprouted. It would need about 2 more cans of water before they would be able to leave. Probably one can per person. "I take that back. I'll pour this and you can pour the next one!" she said with a smile. She emptied the watering can on the sapling and stepped back about 10 feet. A large, 5 foot diameter tree grew almost instantly out of the spot.

Rin stared at her for a moment as she began pouring, but at first did nothing. It was a good thing too, since after a moment, Haruko changed her mind and emptied the rest of the can herself. So Rin backed up slightly, folding her arms irritably over her chest as she watched. She ended up taking another several steps back when a tree sprouted from the ground. Rin stared at it a moment, and then glanced towards Haruko before looking to the tree again. How...? But she remembered Haruko's earlier display of her power over plants and shrugged it off. Might as well accept it rather than question everything.

Above the west courtyard came a loud bang as a purple fireball came whirling out of the sky. Behind it came flaming purple fire. It smashed into the ground causing a mini explosion. tHere was a small crater to where it had landed. A purple haze rose from it. If anyone where to go near it they feel short of breathand there eye's sting a bit.
Soon both Gordon and Shepard landed near the crater. They both retracted there wings and got ready to fight. " Get ready. I didnt expect Mergex to come here so early. we gotta fight him togther. Alone we might not be a match" Gordon said looking at Shepard who said nothing and just watched the crater.

Able stopped pulling his sister close to him."This aura smell terrible!!!!!"He shook his head trying to get the smell out from his nose."What the hell is going on?!"He stood his ground ready to protect his sister with everything he had.

Something jumped out of the pit. A pair of gloowing purple eyes looked out at them. " Hello there! Its been awhile. To long..infact..alomst a year. Dargex has returned!" said the figure as he got up and laughed. Gordon moved back relieved it was not Mergex but his lesser brother. Shepard though dropped his guard and laughed.
" You fool. You should have stayed home. The last time we fought I was not ready for but with my and gordon's training your nothing now. If you think we where the same people when you fought us in Ria so long ago then your in for a shock. Gordon I got him" he said looking at his cousin. Gordon was about to refuse but nodded and stood next to the ghost children.
" Heh. Now Dargex..prove to me that you are stronger then your brother!" Shepard said standing tall as Dargex growled and charged at Shepard.

Sivera was a bit confused watching all these strange events."W-whats going on?"She gave a small sign glad she wasnt in any danger.All these people were creeping her out a little,as she stayed close behind Gordon.Hey wait he said to be strong right? So this is ....a bad thing to do? Of course it is hidding behind someone.!She quickly pushed herself in front of Gordon,and stood in the middle of everyone blushing."My.....n-name is Sivera nice to meet you!"She bowed still blushing and ran behind her brother this time.She was a bit shy though thats what makes her a good person i guess.
Able giggled as his sister ran everywhere blushing."Come on sis they're not gonna hurt you."He grabbed her hand and pulled her up on his back for a piggy back ride."Hey Gordon,Jax,Shepard,....who is this guy? Your brother right? Well there sure are alot of people.."He sighed as this area was pretty packed making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Gordon put his hand infront of them. " No...this guy is not our brother. He's justc and evil jerk. Let Shepard handle this" Gordon said looking at him both. Dargex charged at Shepard smiling as he pulled his hand back and punched Shepard right in the chin. Shepards head flung and Dargex laughed evily.
His laugh was cut off as Shepard pulled his head back smiling. " Just as I knew. Your nothing!" Shepard said before he reared his his leg back and kicked Dargex in the face sending him flying near Gordon and the others.
He fell sliding across the ground. He got up looking surpised and coughing. " Y-ou....are stronger?!" he said amazed knowing last time he beat Shepard. But Shepard had disappeared. Suddenly Shepard came from the side punching Dargex on the right side of his causing the right side of nose to bleed.
" Oh I believed I made you bleed. Would you like something to take you mind off it?!" he said sending his foot into Dargex stomach causing the blackfire vampire to double over in pain. " Don't die yet!" Shepard said raising his foot again kicking Dargex into the sky. He then spread his wings to follow the now air-borne boy.

Sivera was a bit confused with the whole thing...They were fighting....?Boys ....no sense in them what so ever.I wonder how this will end?"Wow....Shepard is strong....."She nodded her head alittle dazed about the whole thing.Her eyes were glowing a bright red as she got excited."Yay!!!!!! Go Shepard!!"She looked like a mini cheerleader the way she was jumping around the place.
Able laughed nervously seeing his sister act so ....strange.Ive never seen her this happy before...Its almost kind of ....creepy.I guess having these friends will do her some good.Though that boy Gordon.....he has chaotic ablities like me....Vampire prince is he....? "Shepard is pretty good....Still who the heck is this guy though?"He shook his head trying to think of something to do.
