Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sardin watched amazed and just kept calm. The grand magus watching all this and seeing what all Lyra was able to do smiled but then comparing to Hitana frowned a little. But then snapped her fingers stopping the illusions and spoke up. "Okay Lyra it's okay to calm down now." She said as she took her human form again and clapped her hands twice as she evaluated the results she nodded a bit.

"Well I know where you both are going to start. Your close but not quite on the same level. Your elemental manipulations are strong, around a level 7 and 8. But your transformations are well level 1. Unfortunately a level 7 can not take the same classes as a level 8, But there will be a few classes you will take together. Now then you both are immortal. But Other than that I don't know what type as there are a few ways to become immortal. So please tell me about this." She said sitting watching Hitana and Lyra.

"Oh also the classes you will take separately are held at the same time just one floor above or below the other one. Where you can still see the other." She said softly. Though it was odd to hear no mention of the type of rooms they would be in.

The grand magus smirked blinking at the two. "Hmm and here I thought you both would be the same kind of immortal. Unfortunately you will need separate bedrooms then. Lyra will be in the west tower, While Hitana in the east tower for sleeping quarters." She said thinking pondering and nodded. She then blew two whistles and a pair of twins seemed to pop out of no where.

They was both looking identical except for the eyes. One of them had a red tint to his eyes. Yet they both spoke at the same time. "You whistled for us?" They said seeming chipper a bit.

The grand magus groaned at that a little. "These two hyperactive boys will give you the our of the place and then show you to your rooms. And remember boys I put that new security field up that will only allow non-vampires in the east tower, and vampires only into the west tower. No switching rolls and egging the vampires on by putting a 'Fresh blood' as they call them in among them." She said strictly and an eye twitching as she watched them.

Sardin laughed and then sighed. "I will be following them and I can tell the two apart Grand mother; So don't worry on that part. Wouldn't want them to turn to ash for going where they don't belong, Or into a puddle of goo." Sardin was joking but knew it was something those twin boys didn't like hearing. The barrier would just trap them until a guard got them out and brought before the school council.

The Grand Magus glared back and had a look like she was daring Hitana to try something. When Sardin laughed and spoke moving Hitana rushing her out and Lyra as well. "Don't worry I won't let anyone hurt either of you while I am here." On the way out there was a few mages who gave Sardin sneers and jeers and one set Sardin's pants on fire.

"Come now you two it's time for the tour." He said in a higher pitched voice as he patted out the fire and gave a warning glance to all those sneers and jeers.

The male twins laughed and spoke at the same time or alternately speaking finishing the sentences back and forth. "Well when you gave that look to the grand magus she probably thought you was presenting a challenge to her. A word of advice most mages even students here will take a glare as a dual challenge. So well if you look glaringly at a lot of people you don't know we will have to notify the 'committee' that your a natural glaring one and not one to challenge others all the time." They said.

Then lead the way around showing where the cafeteria was, bathing places, and classes in the classes section there was a wide open area where this big mystical tree looked to grow up in the center of the complex. But not blocking the view of any window into other class room higher or lower then the others.

Showing them the magic range, and the non magic archery range. Saving the library for the last before the rooms where the two towers was. You know in this whole place you will find out the library is even bigger then the main area here. There you will find reference books on all sorts of magic. How to make potions, variants of magic types, how to make lightning from any other element.

Or well an attack that simulates lightning which is called single element lightning whereas any element type can do it even water which in the event of a person weak against water but strong against lightning will lower their guard thinking your using lightning when it is actually what they are weak against. Of course for when your faced with an enemy." They said smirking.

"Then there are reference books about multiple element types which in most cases refer to dragons though every now and then we find someone who can use more than one that has no dragon ancestry what so ever but usually only two elements at once. Rare are those who can use three or more with no dragon blood line in their family tree.

But there are books that actually help understanding the use of multiple types." They hold a hand out summoning water both of them but then in the other hand is earth for one and the other air. "See like us we both can use water but later on we found we could also use a unique element that the other couldn't all we are missing is fire to wield all four base elements. But that is extremely rare in the cases of twins." They said putting the magic away.

These two twin burst out laughing at the mention of being kicked out. "HA that's a riot." they say and laugh more.

Sardin sighs a bit. "Yeah these two are forever bound to this place actually. Allow me to introduce East Tower and West Tower. You see these two are not humans. They do simulate a living organism though but well their bodys are magical constructs and the spirit entities that guard the two towers live inside, They were created to protect this place from intrusions.

Also they was created just to see if it was possible to create something like them from manipulating elements into flesh to try and fix an accident that occurred with a crystal like the one embedded into my arm." Sardin seemed sad after saying that now.

Sardin smiles softly to Lyra as the twin males point to the other one. "Him" Having answered both questions of the towers at the same time then they smirked devilishly.

Sardin snickered. "I can tell them apart because of the different scents they have. But pay close attention to their eyes. One has red tint to the eyes, Thats blood tower, the one without the red tint is bone tower. Though I am not sure why one is called blood and the other bone. But it has been named that from the day this place was built.

Needless to say Blood tower is also where the 'True bloods' Or vampires reside. And bone tower is where the non vampires reside. Whoever there is a visitation tower where people like siblings can go to spent time under watch together." Sardin said and the twin males chime in. "That's Eel Tower!" They said then laughed more.

Sardin Rolled his eyes and moved slapping those two on the back of their heads and they look buldged eyed falling forward then recovered rubbing they backs of their heads and said at the same time "Hey what you do that for!" Giving the stink eye to Sardin.

Sardin smirked "For naughty thoughts and no its not called Eel Tower thats just a nickname from the lighting they use a special bio electrical energy source to power the lights in that tower. Since there are no windows in it. It is actually called the blood feast tower as many vampires here had brought their "Blood donors" with them which they stay in the lower levels of bone tower.

It is the only place vamps can drink fresh blood from their blood donors. Though medical staff and guards keep watch to make sure too much is never drank from the donors. Otherwise it's just a place open to public for vampiric and non vampiric siblings to visit for the holidays. Or just to talk and spend free time together." Sardin explained a bit.

Sardin smirked. "Well the feasting tower also known as visitor tower for the non vampires." Sardin got closer to Hitana and Lyra "Trust me not everyone knows that vampires still exist some of which who would cause trouble for Lyra. So keep the vampire mentions very hushed. Or you would be the cause of more grief to Lyra then anyone." Sardin said low for only the two of them to hear.

Sardin then moved away and smiled. If anyone asks why you are twins and in separate towers just tell the truth, You are too close an trying to deal with being apart and less reliant on the other. That is all you have to say." Sardin then gave a dead serious face that made the twin males stiffen up and gulp from the sight of it. "Oh by the way Lyra here is your staff tool back. You will train likely to master the less chaotic side of your water use. Since this can force the chaotic side into slumber you will need to keep it close.

The same for you Hitana with your sword. But the teachers might want you to not use it to help unless you must to force the more chaotic side of your powers into sleep if they get too out of control. This will also allow your level of water manipulation grow more rapidly if you can use the chaotic force under your control without the use of the tools you was given that can help restore your energy as well as amplify your powers and keep the chaotic powers asleep.

But teachers will likely tell you to see these tools as a crutch, Which if you think about it. They kinda are a quick retreat from having to actually learn to grow stronger, learn your limits and to stay inside those limits." After Sardin said this he looked right at Lyra. "Like using and making deals with a level 25 water prison stone set when your only capable of using level 8 water manipulations. To let them draw off you is well kind of asking death to stand by your side ready to grab you up anytime he wanted and whisk you away into the afterlife.

The Staff will boost your power level to match a survivable level by drawing the powers weakening first the chaotic side of your powers energy to help keep them asleep. But you will be like your in a coma which will make your body require the least amount of energy to survive on as long as you keep cool, shaded, and someone to trickle water periodically into your mouth and a wet cloth upon your forehead you can survive a few hours of using a level 25 elemental magic.

But you should try to grow to that level or higher safely and quickly as you can incase you need to do something like that again. But in the mean time you need to use these." Sardin held out two small leather bags. Each with a rune on the bags he held one bag out to each Lyra and Hitana.

"In these are wind, water, earth, fire, light, and darkness magic stones I have collected over the years. They are for emergency use only. And range from level 10 to 25 and they all hold a max of 20 charges. There is a number I had etched in them to signify the level of elemental power. Now the stones of your own elements you can ask freely for help by sharing power with you or to quickly heal yourselves or just to replenish your own elemental energy in a pinch.

Or you can just command the type of use from them were the ones of elements you don't normally control well its just what they are created to do. Like place it on the ground to form an elemental trap. Like that one I used back at that 'Puritan' towns border area. That was a gust trap. the rune is pale green and looks like a cloud blowing air from it's mouth if a cloud had a human face that is. If the rune looks like a tornado then its a wind storm instead of effecting a single person it deals area effect to more then one target that triggers it.

Where I can use wind and earth I can just hold one in my palm and command it mentally to do like a air ball as I call it or a sonic blast. Which is a high speed gust that is silent yet it shoots out like an ever expanding wave. similar to a heat wave effect from a fire ball. But those who are hit by this sonic blast get disorientated and lose direction and balance. Then you can just rush them plowing through a large group and they can't chase you until they recover which these special glowing stones are really rare. and hold 1 charge, yet it takes a full 24 hours to recharge.

Of course if you know someone able to infuse elemental energy of that element it which costs a few Relu depending on the type of charge it needs. It can be recharged in an hour. About when you reach level 10 elemental use you can learn how to make them if your power is strong enough. And it's a good way to make money if you need extra. As is recharging it. Some like those who go to school here place a secondary enchantment on most these types of stones that only allows the one who made it to recharge it faster.

But all these stones I gave you one each of offense and defense of every element. Which are gifts from me helping all the different elemental lords with jobs they needed someone to do for them. Most was delivery jobs to a neighboring region of elemental lords. But when one can't get away easy they need someone they can trust to run them around. There are also collectors like the teachers here that look for certain stones only the elemental lords can make. Which you can choose to do certain levels of tasks and if it is a very important task they give you.

You could earn one of these really rare stones which the teachers here can pay lots of money for them. Inface do you two have any money on you for buying food and things?" Sardin asked them curiously.
