Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xenos let out a laugh at the expression that crossed Hikari's face. "That is something we could try. A school project. Might work, great thinking Crahi. Trust a raven to come up with a plan." He said with smile petting her again in thanks. "You never know Danny maybe something will come up to make it even easier." He said turning back to Danny. "I know you could protect me too, but it would be good to keep Okami there just in case I end up having to make a run for the school." Xenos continued his smile still there. Really he had smiled so much this year he was starting to get worried his face would stick that way. But he was glad Danny had a sound way of looking at his perdicamint.

"Other werewolves, unicorns, an acromantula coloney. Some hippogriffs, threshals, blood sucking bloodbears, bowtruckles, and a whole other assortment of nasty and nice creatures. Oh and a rumor going around is something about a three headed dog." Xenos answered listing off some of the many creatures. He had gotten bored last year and done some research on the forest. It was interesting to say the least. "I could name more if you wish."

"Hm...let me see there are several centaurs, blast-ended skrewts, possibly some trolls, heard there were some giants but you have to go pretty deep to find them. That's my understanding at least. I've heard that there are vampires, some say that manicores roam around there. But you never know just what you'll come across out there." Xenos continued trying to shift through rumor and fact. "I doubt every creature roaming out there has been recorded. Maybe someday but needless to say we'll have our hands full out there." He said with a shrug looking over at Danny still idely petting Crahi.

Ariana was about to reply to the girl when Xenos and Danny had come over talking about going into the forest in the next full moon. She knew they where brave to do that and even Hikari. She kept a small smile on her face knowing it was never good to interrupt a conversation. She had a feeling she might have gone only if invited. She knew it was fine for now since there was classes starting the next day. She noticed when Hikari turned back. She waited just a moment. "It is alright about the feast, I can understand big crowds. I have to say I was still feeling a bit nervous even after the sorting. If I do have question I will come and ask. Do you really enjoy your first year here? I happen to be the first one here since my father."

Hikari smiled. "First year was great..." except for almost dieing twice, getting taken over by my other self, almost killing two people, finding out that my mom was part of the reason I have this other self... "I had the best time of my life. The classes are wonderful I learned quite a bit from the teachers. So you are a half blood then? That is pretty cool. What house was your dad in?" Hikari was interested in finding out all she could about the first year then she realized something. "Uh, I don't know your name." She after a pause.

Ariana gave a small chuckle at herself for forgetting to introduce herself. She was still a tiny bit nervous. She was happy to hear that the first year would be very good. "Sorry, it kinda slipped my mind for a moment with so much going on. Ariana Knethell is the name. My father was in Ravenclaw too. I am kinda happy to follow in his foot steps. I'm a full blown wizard since both of my parents work at the ministry. What about you?" She felt a twinge of curiosity about Hikari.

((sorry I got grounded sadly))

Christine saw Ariana and said."Hi."
Christien became quiet again and listen.
