Welcome to Gaia! ::

Spike growled as the branch wrapped around him and burst into emerald green flames leaving a scortch mark were he was standing and disappeared he reappeared back at the grave marker feeling empty on the inside...probably from blood use he thought his friends flashed into his head one by one and thought of how they would be safer without him "i cant do this father...he is hear...your killer is my teacher...and i know hes gunning for me" spike sat in front of the marker and stayed there folding his fingers into a hand sign and then closing his eyes his body enveloped itself in black fire with a green outline, it felt cold but wasnt a burning flame, if anything it was aura "please father i need your guidance" he said as he grew into a more muscular form almost changing but keeping the human appearance his shirt and jeans staining and streatching with the usuall riping noise

Riah shook her head at the angel girl. " War is life. You fight to live wether you realize it or not. Every breath you take is a struggle with your body to keep breathing. War is just on a larger level. Beings cannot exist in perfect harmony no matter how bad we want it. There will always be someone who wants something that isn't his or so forth. To think otherwise is just naive. In natural you fight to live every day, you learn to live with it. When a spider catches a butterfly one must die. Either the butterfly for feeding the spider or the spider for the butterfly escaping. It's just life." She shrugged slightly and yawned, she was bored with this whole thing really. She wanted a good run or a good swim.

Scathach nodded, "You are all correct. There are times when humans fight one another for survival, but it is usually for greed." She sighed, "But, humans are savage in nature, and they crave destruction. When your were a kid, did you not build a card tower or sand castle, and then destroy it just for fun?" Scathach closed her eyes and composed herself, "And now that we are speaking about what is natural, let us get back on topic, and back in class. I suppose we should start on the second Magic. Natural Magic." She smiled at Riah, "I believe you will be more interested in this. Lycans have been known to be very good at Natural Magic. And it is the Magic that is least used to fight."

Oly had listened to all of this silently, wondering about her grandmother's stories. How much pain had the woman been through? Then, she suddenly wondered how old Scathach was. She had to be well over five thousand. Oly cast these thoughts away as Scathach presented a new topic.

Scathach nodded, pleased that the young Lycan was taking more of an interest in this, "It would include that. A powerful trait, that is. And, regrettably, one of the only Magical skills I have not been able to learn."

Oly looked shocked, "Really? I thought you knew all of the Magics."

The Warrior looked at her granddaughter, "I do, but there are a few skills that I can not obtain. Shadow Running is one of them, along with Solar Flare, which is native to the Angels."

Vivian relaxed against the tree, noticing another form behind it, black hair an white wings were visible and Vivian bowed her head lightl to Cherbum then went back to listening to the class.

Seraphim turned to meet the strong gray green gaze of his brother, Cherbum. Seraphim put a hand over his chest in a formal greeting between them as his brother joined him.

Cherbum nodded to Madam Scathach before taking a place by his brother, arms folded over his chest. He glared over the class, not entierly happy to be here. There were other matter that needed attending.

Adrian chuckeld "and i never said that magic changed, but new ways of useign it, new methods never thought of, new things never tried, i refuse to believe that nothing new ever comes out of magic, because if that were true it would be useless, once the best thing is thought of there would be nothing new to beat it" he looked to oly with a smile "maybe that came out wrong" then looking back to scathach "so nature magic, hmmm nature, the one thing i can watch that allows me to calm my mind, yet also the one thing that i am pushed the most to destroy...well second most actually, but you get the point." he gave another chuckle then let scathach continue.

Adrian smirked "i much rather prefer magic i can dominate, i dont compromise with plants." he held out his hand forming a black fireball and he tossed it up in the air watching it move around to conform to his will "although i guess this isnt so much magic, this is just my own supernatural ability, but it can still be an example, it does whatever i want it to, nomatter what, even if i hate it, even if i dont respect it, it is mine and i am it's creator...and when i say creator i mean that literally, it is an extension of my being and as such is mine alone to control." he held his palm up and the fire shot back into his body so this flame could be used again insted of replaced.
