x o Alexstrasza Ortega o x | Third Year | Frost Witch Forget what hurt you...
But never forget what it taught you...  ╔══════════════╗
Alexstrasza smiled as he had admired her bow and challenged her. If only he had known she wasn't from this time and from a time when Archery was very common. She giggled at the thought. If he had known that she was frozen for a very long time, he probably wouldn't believe, so she decided not to say anything.
"Well," She said, changing her thoughts, "I've never met anyone who had this power before...never in my life time..." She started to fade off, staring into blank space, getting lost in her memories. Flashes of the Frost Mage from her past blink into her mind, but she shakes it free, returning to Rin. "So," She continued, "I was wanting to find out if there are others like me...and how I can control this...power." She looks at her hand, then clutches it. "An old friend taught me this...but I could never figure out why I could control this and my big sister never could.." Her voice turns sullen at the memory of her sister, who is probably long dead now..
She looks at the Elf, her eyes having filled tears. Her eyes widen, not even noticing that she had started crying. She raised a hand to touch the tear, surprised. As her finger tip tapped the tear, it turned into a crystal. She stars at it on her finger for a moment before shaking it off and wiping her tear stained face with her sleeve. She laughed quietly. "I'm sorry about that." She sniffles, but smiles at him, showing her that she is okay. "Any help is greatly appreciated."

 Rin ♦ Vyraal
Where: Library | Feeling: Concerned Rin listened in curiosity as Alexstrasza spoke, momentarily glancing at the books he had picked up earlier. From memory, none of them would be all that helpful here. His attention shifted back to her when she trailed off, tilting his head as he waited for her to continue. She did, as part of him expected her to, however the second pause caused one of his own. He had caught the change in her tone upon mentioning a sister, but to simply stop mid-sentence that way...there was really only a couple of reasons why that would be. Opening his mouth to ask if she was okay, the tears that had filled her eyes had all but confirmed that she really wasn't. Rin blinked, from the look on her face now it seemed like she hadn't even noticed until a stray tear left her eye. There was a slither of a moment of silence from Rin when Alexstrasza tried to convince him that she was fine...he wasn't quite convinced and the concern that shifted his expression slightly likely showed that. Still, if she really wanted to talk about what was bothering her, she would've just said it. With that in mind, Rin simply let out a silent sigh before shifting his thoughts onto how he could help, figuring the change in subject was due for now. "Hmm...if there's nothing specific about using ice magic in this section..." He said, somewhat to himself as he rubbed his chin in thought. Thinking, the Elf looked up to her as an idea came to mind...well, less of an idea and more a place to start at the very least. "Maybe there's something, somewhere, in the history section. If that kind of magic is rare enough, there's bound to be something documenting what did get discovered." He suggested. Rin had passed through that section a little earlier, it wouldn't be too hard retracing his steps. "At the very least, it might clue us in on something, maybe point us in a better direction to look." He added.
{Not a problem ^^}"Don't be afraid to jump into the unknown"

A pounding on the table was his exclamation point as Prince Rheaus slammed down his hopes a getting home; durable, though, as he sighed and picked them up again. He'd been there the entire night, and was no closer, in fact arguably further from his goal, than when he'd started this crazy endeavor to read the entire, you could officially call it, tome Lucian'd given him the afternoon before. Headaches, the mark of a truly devout student, were displayed in strata to whomever's eyes held a scalpel'd gaze in his direction; and to be fair that wasn't so unimaginable a scene now that Rheaus was, well, making a scene.
The closest thing he'd gotten to sleep was the segmented rest his body forced on him. In the interest of economics Rheaus pulled himself awake early in each instance to keep on keeping on, afraid of the minute hand and the weight it held always. A few times he'd thought he was going mad; and few rests after that he was convinced that wouldn't have been such a terrible idea since this book was pure madness, and it would be doubly mad for an illiterate prince to try making sense of it with use only to sane pathways.
He didn't dare tell Lucian that, though. He'd lost enough face in that exchange alone and would suffer no aftershocks if he could. Now half dried, Rheaus finally got up to the fountain on the other side of the library to revitalize himself and his search for truth.

 Ｋｉｒａ Ｄｅｌｐｈｉｎｅ ╠═══════════════════════════════╣
From behind a tall bookcase, the young reaper Kira Delphine emerged. It had been days since she was seen or heard from. Truth be told, a lot had been going on throughout the Reapers' Council and desperate times called for desperate measures. Her kind were being taken and killed, and so she had to sacrifice her education to work and collect souls. But finally, it was time for her to come back.
While she was nervous about getting back into her usual routine, she was looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. She looked forward to seeing her friend Bree once more. She looked up at the clock in the room. It was second period now, but soon it would be over. There was no point in arriving this late to class. Kira figured that she'd stall until the lunch bell and then resume her classes. She took a deep breath and leaned her back against the shelf.
✿Thinking:Hopefully I get back into my routine...✿Feeling:Nervous✿Company:None"Deep in my heart I'll keep myself strong and fighting.
And that's how I stay strong even now." Kira's ScytheOOC: Sorry for not posting lately. I started my second college semester and things have been crazy!

After yet another period of fruitless searching Rheaus was feeling tired. Tired on top of tired produced a sight to behold. He was probably sleeping with his eyes open! Just staring at the page, expecting it to bend to his royal will and give up its secrets already. This all might have appeared normal when he was alone, but when the silver haired girl walked in Rheaus found himself scrambling to conceal his secret trove of Magics only worthy of Zoran eyes.
This, however, didn't go so well. Instead of brushing the book off the table and tucking under his shirt Rheaus knocked the tome clear off the table with a clattering crash. The pages fluttered frantically like a frightened bird. Soon the Zora prince was looking up at the Reaper with a face that screamed, "I wasn't stealing from the cookie jar before dinner!"
"Uh... Hello," he said blinking his tired eyes.
Soon enough, though, Breanna was skipping in to the library, invigorated by the show she just saw. It was at about this time that the above scene was unfolding. It was so loud she just had to see what was happening, and with luck found Kira there!
"KIra!" She whisper-yelled.

Kira watched as the Zoran boy dropped his book. The book seemed to be very important to him. When the book hit the floor, Kira went right over to help him. She didn't attempt to read the book. She respected the boy's privacy."Here, let me help you."She picked up the book and handed it to him."It feels old. You should try to be a tad more careful with it."Kira smiled at the boy when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Hello, Bree. Sorry for the sudden leave. Things got a little hectic, but I am back. It is so nice to see you again."Kira went up to Bree and hugged her. She turned to the Zoran boy, embarrassed that she had been so rude as to not introduce herself."Oh, my name is Kira Delphine. It is nice to meet you."
✿Thinking:It's nice to be back✿Feeling:Calm✿Company:None"Deep in my heart I'll keep myself strong and fighting.

"We've you been!" Bree semi-scolded. The initial excitement was melting into the heated conversation which the future held too close to the prince of fish. Rheaus was looking on with blinking eyes.
"...Rheaus. Rheaus Ti' Oro." He didn't like giving out his last name anymore; seeing as it should have been Rheaus, and his first name should be KING. But as long as he was the stranger, the low, he thought it illogical to be uncouth. Bree gave a slight wave to the prince and turned her attention back to Kira.

Kira bowed her head to the Zoran boy."It's a pleasure to meet you."She turned her attention back to Bree. She pushed her hair back and sighed."Reapers number very few these days. There was a war over in a small nation which resulted in civilian casualties, so of course I was heavily occupied during the whole thing."Kira gave an awkward laugh."There was not a dull moment. At least I wasn't bored."She put her index finger on her bottom lip and looked down."Though I suppose it was still a tragedy, nonetheless. Humans call themselves evolved and sophisticated, but they still insist on killing their own. It's beyond my comprehension, I suppose."
The way Kira spoke of war and death was incredibly calm. Her tone was not at all cold, nor ignorant. As a reaper, she dealt with death every single day. Speaking about death was as normal to her as literature or history. To the young reaper, death meant work and long hours. She looked back at Bree."Did anything exciting happen while I was away? Have you been practicing your black magic? I wish I could have showed you more before leaving."Kira smiled once more.
✿Thinking:Why wage a war...✿Feeling:Calm✿Company:Rheaus, Bree"Deep in my heart I'll keep myself strong and fighting.
And that's how I stay strong even now." Kira's Scythe

"Oh... I see. It hasn't been easy for me either." Bree gave a quick glance to the Zora prince. "I'm sorry, but can we talk somewhere in private?" Vague enough to be troubling, that's for sure, and Rheaus didn't like it much either, seeing it as a slammed door to his chance to learn something about this world. Breanna had stepped away from the table and was looking back at Kira expecting her to follow.
"...Please?"

Kira nodded at Bree and smiled."Of course, Bree. It was a pleasure making your acquaintance, Rheaus. Perhaps we will run into each other in the future."Kira smiled at Rheaus and bowed her head. She'd never met a Zoran before, and truth be told she was quite fascinated with his presence. Creatures of myth and legend were not foreign to Kira, but the fact that her work was limited to mostly humans had narrowed her first hand experiences.
Kira could sense that something had troubled Bree. She was usually up beat and full of vigor, yet something was clearly off. She followed Bree."Is something the matter?"

"..." Bree was turned sideways at this point and gave Kira a look one's dog might give after getting kicked. She glanced back over, thinking in part on how to compare what she was imagining Kira went through to the partially paranoid experience she had.
"These last couple days weren't good for me either," she said finally, flatly. "I'm not quite sure how to say this, but let me just say that for a while I didn't want to practice the Dark Arts. It's," She sighed, "just so terrifying. I, I really don't know what I'm doing. People keep telling me:" And here she went on.
"Some people want to control you, people can be used like wands--I thought of you--I'm sorry!--and that my soul can be locked away forever if I mess up a spell. Jesus, Kira, do you know how bad I freak out over getting a question wrong?? I haven't missed a question on a test since the sixth grade! And that's perfectly ok; my parents never pushed me to get good grades, so there's absolutely no consequence if I mess up with school. Meanwhile, my soul could get devoured by God knows what, I could turn myself into a frog, I--I could put everyone in danger because I wanted to get better at training bees and doing seances! Do you know what that does to someone like me, who wants to be normal, who was born normal?" Bree couldn't finish without crying, as if the verbal flood beforehand was actually thunder preceding this face rain.
"I'm sorry, Kira, I really am, but how can I trust anyone? It just feels like all this Black Magic thing does is take, and I honestly don't know how much I can give..."

Kira looked at Bree with concerned and caring eyes. She could tell that Bree was truly upset and confused. As she spoke of the dangers that came with practicing dark magic, Kira nodded in agreement. Dark magic was very dangerous and if one wasn't careful, terrible things were sure to happen.
When Bree finished speaking, Kira but a hand on her shoulder and looked up at her-Kira was a little shorter than Bree. She took a deep breath."I know you are afraid. While fear is necessary, it can make things particularly difficult."Kira lifted her hand and wiped a tear from Bree's face. She looked up at her and smiled."But we cannot let our fears get in the way of what it is we want. Everything is dangerous. A child shouldn't fear crossing the street because they may get hit by a car. Rather they learn to look both ways before crossing. Yet even then, accidents still happen."Kira sighed."What I'm saying is that yes, Dark magic is dangerous, But so is everything else in this world. If you really want to learn Dark Magic, I say to go for it. If you really want to be good at it, then you'll learn how to be good at it. The second that you no longer try, is the second you will fail. The things you give to magic are endless. Our feelings may grow dim and may seem to escape, but they can always come back. You can learn to feel again."Kira reached into her pocket and pulled out a cloth for Bree to wipe her tears. She put a hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes."Now, is this something you want?"
✿Thinking:Poor Bree...✿Feeling:Sad for Bree✿Company:Bree"Deep in my heart I'll keep myself strong and fighting.
And that's how I stay strong even now." Kira's Scythe

"You... Think so?" Bree wasn't so brash as she once was; supporting new evidence for Mulu's bravery being time-sensitive. She didn't even look away, for long, from the one who she feared at the moment; the one who dispelled that by refusing to address such a groundless accusation, like a real friend would. Instead she took the handkerchief and cleaned her face of its emotional residues. Like magic, a smile appeared tentatively in their place.
"Ok," She began to laugh, "but as long as you don't turn me into a wand."

Kira smiled at Bree when she took the hankerchief and wiped her face. She let out a light laugh."Bree, I promise that I will not under any circumstances, turn you into a wand."
Kira paused for a moment."Well, we should probably be getting to our classes now. I'll see you afterward!"Kira turned around and headed to class, waving to her friend."If you ever need to find me, look towards the shadows my friend!"Kira laughed and walked away.
