"Stelldrassil
Thas'ilmaré
Quel'elen
Stelldrassil
Hera'endor zin varya
Hera'endore
Stelldrassil
Zin-Hera
Thas'ilmaré
Hera'endor, zin varya"
-Starsong. Song of Exile/Star Elves.
When the Star Elves fled from Entei it was after some time that the desperate population found their new hope - Steldrassil. The Tree of Stars was planted by the Star Elves as a beacon of hope, the seed that they took was of the World Tree Ovdrassil, infused with the energy of the Star Well. It was here they built their new home and ever since it has thrived. It is now an ancient city (in regards to Otherearth).
Evermoon (also known in Star Elven Language as Thas'ilmaré) is a large circular city surrounding Steldrassil - a monolithic World Tree of natural arcane power. In its cracks it seeps magic, and from it's leaves a shimmering silver radiates. The city is full of long and twisting pathways, parks and towers. The towers are tall and thin, and stand almost half as tall as Steldrassil. Buildings are made of grey stone, and are often overgrown with roots that bear lilac flowers or dark violet and green leaves. Bridges arch over streams that flow through the parks, trees grow from every corner filled with a brilliant glow of life. Each stretching tower is dotted with giant floating crystals as silver as the moon. They draw power from Steldrassil and emanate it's silvery glow across the city - giving it a permanent feeling of twilight. The streets, at night, are lit with floating shards held up by thin air above curling, twisting roots and sometimes tall stone pillars that have cracked with age.
The outer sections of Evermoon are less overgrown as they're further from the towering roots of Steldrassil. They are more pristine, more polished. Hedges are cut evenly to welcome guests from the port or east gates. Walls are without much overgrowth, curtains drape over doorways in shades of silver, white, lilac and purple. Benches line pathways and fountains line larger walls. The west side lines the large lake known as Falore'aelin - Sister Water in common tongue, being sister to none other than the Tree of Stars, or Crown of Stars as some describe Steldrassil. The east side of the city opens up to Morningsong Forest, a dense canopy of twilight and some glowing trees fed by both Steldrassil and the nearby Archon Grove of Wú.
All around the city there are areas to relax and learn, to research and write. This means quiet halls with large open spaces and windows to the world outside of birdsong and running water. Quiet benches beside floating stands of books that spiral. Tomes lining walls in the hall and sometimes glowing crystals for light in the night and for a delicate hum to break the silence. It's normal to see Star Elves doing this with most of their time, though it isn't rare to see them training in the center of even directly beneath the tree, where it's roots raise up high for a somewhat large area. Some of it is used for mediation to 'speak' with the tree, to dream with it and learn. Other areas, more secret and hard to find for outsiders, are retained for the ritualistic and most personal process of siphoning energy from Steldrassil.
The people of Evermoon have come to revere the moon almost as much as Steldrassil itself, and instead of sleeping they often sit in a trance beneath the moon's twilight. This same twilight is what Steldrassil absorbs instead of sunlight.
Evermoon is more than welcoming to guests, for all except the Sun Elves. Their cousins who aren't so distant in blood, but more than different in many ways in their life choices. They rarely come here, as their city of Sunspire lies far east in Dawnrise Vale.
"Crown of the Stars
Light of the forest
Children of the Stars
Crown of the Stars
Lady Earth protect us
Lady Earth
Crown of the Stars
Our Lady
Light of the forest
Lady Earth protect us"
-Starsong. Loosely translated, bears some resemblances with High Elven language.

❖ "But that was then and this is now
Now look at me" Alexis Truesvale "The air is still, a path appears. The choice is clear, I'm finally here.
Safely back in your arms... " This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me,
Throw your sticks and your stones,
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ THEME SONGThe morning over Otherearth was more beautiful than any morning could ever be in Occulas. When the morning sun, which was now clear after the orange dawn had passed, pierced through the crystal towers of Evermoon the entire region came to life. Far in the distance flying ships came down from the clouds, in front of them all was the Lightcleaver, a majestic and enormous metal ship that soared down and towards the water. Alexis, Nyru, Laxion, Claudia and even Lucas were all leaning against the front of the ship as this knew unknown land came into sight. "It's beautiful!" Alexis shouted, leaning so far off Laxion thought she might have to cannon herself back on the deck again. From this distance, the city was like a glowing crystal of sapphire, amethyst, emerald and ruby, it wasn't until they got closer that they dispersed and the city's circular pattern came into view. "Wooohhhhhhhhhh" Lottie gasped, holding her hand over her head to block the sun as she took it all in with a giant gasp. There was nothing but low mountains and dense forest coupled with green fields surrounding Evermoon. It was like falling towards an imaginary land, she was used to magic and splendour back home, but nothing quite like this. Micha'el couldn't believe the majestic tower standing hundreds and hundreds of feet up in the air in the center, which was accompanied by hovering crystals, much like the other many towers were tipped with. The river curving around the city's side reflected all the light as hey got closer. Lumina stood behind all the students, just about able to get this beautiful view. She looked to her side and in the distance saw the Lightcleaver up ahead, and to her other side was the dark and almost ghostly ship for Ravencrest Academy. She was becoming overly excited already. "Brace yourselves!" yelled Lucas, handing tightly onto his sword, which was pointed down at the ship as if he could control the ship with it. Through it, he felt all the power of the wind, the gravity tugging down ont he ship and the rising water. "Hold your partners tightly!" Lumina let out, behind her a robust and sturdy looking man steering the ship's wheel, Lil P' couldn't help but add "AND SPIN THEM ROUND AND ROUND" obviously joking. As the Lightcleaver neared the water, and the city came rushing towards them at immense speed Lucas lifted the ship's tip up, and the city vanished from vision as they sky was no in front of them. And suddenly, SPLASH. The water raised up on either side of the Lightcleaver like walls as the ship hit the water and after moments they were calmly sailing on water. Alexis, perplexed and beyond happy, wasn't wet at all. She let out a small sigh and let her shoulders release from their protective brace. Whatever Lucas did, it stopped them from getting wet. Thank god. Though, by the look on Laxion's face, it seemed she wasn't the only one not wanting to get wet. Hope's ship followed shortly after as the Lightcleaver ebgan turning towards teh city. Ambition dived down, and as the water came up and over the deck an orange glow protected them all from water. Lumina, with a firm grin, had her hand up and channeling her magic. Behind them came Ravencrest's ship, though it had it's only way of coming into the water. Instead of hitting it like the others it was surrounded by several giant symbols of Declasia that pushed the water away, like a pocket of air around it as it came to water level. Then slowly the water was allowed to come into contact without any splashing whatsoever. They came into contact with the docks. Evermoon... was taller and far greater now than it ever could be before. Everything was made from polished cream stone, decorated with gold or silver curling lines, roofs in the shapes of domes or pointed bulbs made from purple, blue or red glass. Every path was lined with benches or trimmed waist high hedges. The docks themselves were made from a light wood, and as the ships stopped the water itself seemed to churn and come to life.Lottie jumped back suddenly, with many of the other students, when creature made from the water of the lake with big, thick arms and bulbous torso's and no necks raised up to thrust jets of water from their arms to meticulously place the ships in correct positions before dropping back into the water and vanishing. There were some people walking along the docks, more on the stone paths beneath the monolithic stone cream archway that led into the city and walled off the docks from within. They all looked beautiful, each and every one of them, slender men and women with pointed ears, their eyes, every one of them, glowed blue, their hair often long and braided, blonde, red or black, up in ponytails of left down, men and women looked as beautiful as each other. Some of them in cloth tunics and trousers, others in colourful robes, some with staffs or wisps following their shoulders. Some were walking with books, not even looking where they were going. There was even someone in gleaming steel plate armour that reflected slightly blue, they a long exotic blade in one hand and in the other a shield narrow and as tall as him that was forged from purple metal and lined with silver. The ships came toa groaning halt.
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ I opened my eyes to another day
To things that I had known,
things that happened everyday.
I feel there's a shadow creeping up on me
The wind blows through the streets
Telling me something I don't see ❖
Draw the line, and turn the time
Taking back what was mine
Now I can change almost anything
Hold tight, search for the light
Do I know what's wrong or right
Put the pieces back where they belong

 Tsuna MikiThe warmth of the glorious morning enveloped Claudia's pale skin as she embraced their new surrounds ahead of them. The light reflected off the towers decorated with crystals on top shining down a color spectrum on the city below. She could hear the non-existent bells and choir chiming in with the creeping of the metal vessel as it descended from the skies. The entire group leaned against the railing taking in the majesty of their destination, Alexis in particular was the most enthusiastic about Evermoon. Claudia wasn't nearly as gutsy as the wizard to lean over the side and instead held onto Nyru for dear life. "Not so fast." she whimpered closing her eyes tightly and practically jumping into her partner's arms. She wasn't able to admire the colorful aesthetic or the shape of the city below with her face buried into Nyru's shoulder. When they land safety, she'll have the opportunity to take it all in and appreciate its divinity.
Meanwhile, on top of Ambition's deck, Euphemia was noting every inch of the environment she would traverse. Having the region surrounded by forest, mountains, and a pure water river was a huge advantage for her when she takes off. However, her strategy was to remain in the cluster of students under Lumina's supervision so she didn't draw to much attention to herself. Gathering information about the land and its residences, also participating in their culture will help her get around easier until she locates the item for Lamia. As for Tsuna, she distanced herself from the others, mainly Micha'el and Lottie while she fascinated herself with her own perspective of Evermoon. The Thesian held her black cap in place as the ship lowered next to the haunting Ravencrest Academy's vessel. She didn't want to draw in a crowd on her own ship and the ship next to her with her beastly appendages.
Lumina kindly warned the students of the shift in gravity and to hold onto a partner so they wouldn't fly off. The witch was paired with Professor Ivan stirring the ship looking a little to pleased that he had a voluptuous woman in front of him. Lil P's joke would have made Tsuna laugh if she wasn't alone at the moment, but a small cold hand grabbed her wrist. Euphemia looked to her about to apologize, but Tsuna accepted her company without complaint given the circumstance. The two remained complacent while Claudia on the other had was freaking out. "Lucas stop this thing!" she shouted on the verge of tears before hearing an audible slash. Her hyperventilating slowly calmed once her attention was distracted by the rocking waves that reached up to the deck. An invisible wall prevented them from getting soaked which relieved the blonde as she released the tight grip she had on her partner. She was surprised that he didn't pass out from lack of oxygen from her constricting him. They flowed with the currents of the water just like the other ships from behind them did. They even channeled their own barriers to protect them from the icy water that threatened to saturate them.
Evermoon increased in size now that everyone was eye level with the area and to their surprise it was a utopia beyond imagination. The sidewalks were constructed with cream marvel aligned with gold or silver trim. The hedges manicured, the houses architectural creative and sufficient, and the people were a spectacle in and of themselves. However, before the students and Team Elixer can get to the docks, they needs some assistance from the water golems. These creatures emerged from beneath the ships, picking up the zeppelins with their massive arms and rounded girths to place them correctly by the docks. By now, the population of the elves was more noticeable and each being was equality as radiant. Especially their vibrant eyes and elegant hair styles drew ordinary people in at first glance. Some dressed more formally or drastically than most, some carried arsenal, some knowledge, and other simply minded their own business. Tsuna and Euphemia leaned forward when the ship came to a halt but never lost their balance. Claudia was just as fortunately, but waited impatiently to get off the ship. The ground is where she wanted to be, although, seeing the pretty of the elves and their city made her feel out of place.
Euphemia released Tsuna and the two stared at each other for a second before following one another down to the exit. They didn't need to be introduce themselves see how their attitudes mixed quiet well already.

◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ THEME SONGNyru was like a statue beside Claudia, keeping one arm firmly by his side as she held tightly on with the other on the railing of the Lightcleaver to steady himself. He could practically feel her eagerness to step off the ship and onto the solid dock. Alexis was still gawping over the edge of the ship, Laxion had to tap her shoulder to get her attention but she was fixated after the water golems vanished. "huh?" she began, seeing Laxion's reflection appear behind her "OH," she span around and scratched the back of her head, expressing her interests "sorry! It's just, THAT. It's the pinnacle of arcane magic - giving life to the elements without destroying their free will" "You'll get to see plenty more of that, Alexis." Lucas coudln't help but smirk as he wandered past them with that comment, heading to the wall of the ship which began to pull into itself. and open, where bricks lifted from beneath the water and slotted together neatly to form a tiny bridge onto the dock. Laxion looked beside him to see Alexis breathing deeply, and all he wanted to do was wave his hands to try and cool her down. Nyru stared across, and on the next too docks he could see The Ambition, The Black Sage and finally the ship he had almost forgotten - the Azure Lady (for the students of Merlin Academy). He gestured to Claudia to follow Lucas across to the wooden platform off the ship. Together they followed Lucas, and not so much behind him but with him. Laxion remembered how they used to look up to Lucas like an all mighty instructor, now he was their friend. The air here was brimming with magic, his fae blood could sense it. So it really is true, the Star Elves really do have a connection to the Arcane like no others do. Each ship emptied it's people onto the dock and together they walked along the wooden platforms to the long marble pathway on the land. Lumina led the way with Prof. Ivan at her side - perhaps too close for comfort but she knew of his subtle yet scandalous ways and woudln't let it bother her. When each gathering of students reached the end of the docks they were greeted by the passing citizens of Evermoon, the large stone area was huge, but further ahead beneath the gigantic archway they could see a few individuals that stood out making their way towards them. Two guards like the armoured man described before, and another man between them. Each group came to a stop, each academy hushing quiet as Lucas Purevelion stepped forward to greet the mystery man. After they exchanged some words turned around and rejoined the others. The elf stepped forward. "Welcome" he began, "to the crown jewel of Otherearth. Evermoon will humbly accept you and care for your needs during your stay. I am High Counselor Saeras, your Ambassador during your stay and Advisor to the Magisters that rule Evermoon. I'm sure you are all aware why you are here. You have been chosen to not just explore this continent and kill things. Lucas Purevelion has entrusted you with the chance to learn from this experience and not only aide the united kingdoms of Otherearth but to also hone your homelands understanding of us." Saeras then waved a hand in front of him, from it came dozens and more glowing blue wisps. They landed gently into the hands of everyone listening to him and turned into scrolls, "my gift to you is a map of our city so that you may not get lost. No corner is forbidden, Evermoon is a place of tranquility and learning and has nothing to hide from your or our people. On your map you will see the terrace that has been designated your collective home whilst you are in the city or returning from missions. Now - I return you to your instructors - and wish that the stars guide you during your time here." Saeras was only there for a few seconds more before walking back into the depths of the city, His guards however, and two more, stayed behind. Lucas spoke up now, "I expect each and every one of you to give a good example of your academies and most importantly Occulas and the Land of Crows. This mission is a sign of unity and peace, an exchange of knowledge between our two lands. Do not worry for your belongings, they will be taken to our terrace, for now I want you all to follow me to the east side of the city. There you will all be sorted into teams and given your first mission to test yourselves... keep in mind that it would be quite unfortunate to have to keep you in an infirmary for the whole of your stay should you fail. And one last thing. The Star Elves of this city will not hand you any prejudice, only gracious welcome. I do not expect to see anyone embarrassing themselves, or they will find that neither I nor your teachers will take any responsibility. Now come along." Once everyone started moving, Lucas rejoined the others at the front of the long, long crowd now flowing through the cities major paths. Once inside, the city was much more spectacular. Floating signs giving directions, arcane magic occasionally flowing freely across the air above them from one play to another, fountains with white stone statues in the middle commemorating past moments around every corner. The city was one giant arcane sanctuary, where everything breathed the arcane force. Somewhere along teh way, Lucas began a conversation between the now expanded Team Elixer. "I do hope you don't suffer from stage fright" eh said over his shoulder to each of them, "As you will be the ones organising how teams are made in your academies." He coudln't help but grin.

Tsuna MikiHearing Alexis geek out about the properties of arcane magic has invigorating. She could tell each of them were going to find something in Evermoon to capture their personal interest. Lucas hinted that their amazement wasn't over as he elegantly passed them heading towards the magically self-constructing brick bridge connecting to the dock. Alexis hyperventilated in awe of the use of magic making her worry but Laxion had her covered. They all followed Lucas in an orderly fashion until she touched solid ground and jumped in glee breaking the formation. Finally, she wasn't in the sky worrying about her imminent death every couple of seconds. The blonde glanced back at the other ships arrives, her main focus was on Black Sage though seeing how she had a slew of students to supervision on it. She groaned in despair before trotting along side Lucas with the others. Soon the pitter patter of many feet behind them scuffled against the wood dock until they shifted onto the polished marble pathway.
Ivan swaggered next to Lumina, occasionally glancing over to view her curvy assets, and greeting passing elves at the same time. As the citizens maneuvered through the crowd of adolescences, Tsuna kept her head down low pulling the bill of her cap over her eyes. Euphemia did the same with her hood, but obvious her reasons are far different that the misunderstood redheads. As each individual filed through the extravagant archway, they were meet with two fully armored guards protecting a tall regal man. Lucas privately conversed with the before he stepped forward to greet them all happily. His angelic voice hushed the audience as he used magic to add reverberation so everyone could hear him. All their needs would be provided through him sense he is the ambassador and adviser of the Magisters that rule this nation, High Counselor Saeras. Claudia hoped she wouldn't have to address him as that the whole time, it's such a mouthful. Euphemia on the other hand ignored his introduction knowing that they won't be acquainted for long.
Anyway, the students job their was more than traverse and slay, but to absorb the culture and complexity of their methods to use back home. A effective concept seeing how these lands had been closed off to them for quiet sometime. Waving his hand in concentration several glow wisps that looked like condensed fireballs appeared and shot out into the crowd like shooting stars. Euphemia and Tsuna cupped their petite hands to catch the burning lights that transformed into maps delaying layouts of every area. Nothing was restricted making this mission almost way to easy for the albino. Opening the map, there was a spot marked in red with a small picture of cluster of houses and as stated that's where they will live for the next weeks. With Saeras's announcement over, he retreated with his guards letting Lucas delegate the rest of the information. In short, he expected them to be on their best behavior and to learn as much as they can to create a reliable alliance. For now, they were instructed to follow Lucas to the east to be split up into teams and set on their first mission. However, before all that excitement, Lucas had to make one thing clear. The Star Elves will not judge them in anyway, shape, or form but Tsuna still had her doubts because her race segregates her from all the others. But, Euphemia hasn't run away from her yet so maybe there was still hope.
The students and staff migrated into the city subjecting themselves to the wonderful sights, magically energy, and sophisticated architecture. Sense Tsuna and Euphemia were in the back of the crowd they were able to take their time a doddle. Meanwhile, Claudia was to busy being mocked by Lucas's nerve racking words. "Thanks, If the kids don't like their placement I'll tell them to come whining to you." she breathed sarcastically before laughing. "I'm sure we'll all do fine though. I mean how hard can it be?" Claudia might have sounded confident, but inside he was screaming.

◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ THEME SONG"Hm" Lucas turned his head ahead of him again. Nyru grinned at Claudia's reply too, but he knew she was only being half-truthful with that because he too was also wandering what the students will do. Would he be respected or mocked. And it wasn't really his academy he was worried about, Ravencrest, as the most respectable school in history, is known for good behavior. It was the others that bugged him. "Very well" Lucas replied, without any kind of fear or worry about students coming to him. Laxion thought it must have been because of all the years of experience he's had now. As heir to the Injustira Syndicate he should be used to having the weight of the world of law and order on his shoulders. "Hey" Alexis said, "I'm gonna hang out with some of my students, see you on the other side of the city", she didn't give much time ebfore she was giving a nonchalant wave and slowed down so she could merge back into the crowd behind her. Over his shoulder Laxion could hear "Alexis!" from several girls as if she'd already come to know some of them prior to the mission. Laxion realised then that he hasn't spoken to the teachers he'll be getting to know during his time here - so ona whim he said "I uh... guess I should find... Miss Estrella and ... Ivan?" he coudln't remember the males last name, coudln't remember if Ivan was correct either. Laxion side-stepped and stopped as he turned to give Nyru an awkward grin before merging into the crowds behind. Somewhere along the way Alexis' small group could be heard "AAWWWWW"ing, with Alexis' voice chirping in with "told you they're cute". Nyru double took between Lucas and Claudia, and as if feeling pressured to do something he said "I'm quite alright here". When he looked over his shoulder he found the Ravencrest Students towards the back walking in a large square group, they were more organised than either of the other two schools could be. He remembered his time at the academy before becoming Royal Guard - there was no time to slack. Eventually Laxion found himself falling back next to Lumina, and on her other side was Ivan. With a small smile he said "hello", Lumina was quick to smile back. "Laxion! It's great to finally meet you in person" "Oh, thank you. How was the journey here?" "Sparring was... exciting" she glanced at Ivan remembering the fight between Tsuna and Micha'el, "yours?" "I could say the same" was his onwly reply with a huckle, he then extended a hand the male teacher, "... Ivan, correct? If I may call you that? And you, Lumina?"

Tsuna MikiNyru understood her predicament, maybe to a different degree but they both were kind of on the same page. Children are unpredictable and so is life so she couldn't expect anything to go smoothly. Lucas was confident that he could reason with any student given all the experience that he's been through. Claudia strives to be like him someday, but obviously it's an ambitious mindset to have at her age. 'Better late than never', she supposed. Alexis on the other hand wasn't afraid in the slightest and adapted to her new lifestyle so quickly. Technically, Alexis was old enough to be her mother from leaping through time but retained her youthful appearance. She'll always stay that way while they walk on by without her, but Claudia's glad that she doesn't regret her decisions. Laxion felt impulsive to leave their small pack as well to make an acquaintance with the other teachers. The blonde smiled and waved him goodbye as him and Nyru exchanged one last look. She awed too with the children because she was just as supportive of their relationship and always will be.
Luckily, Nyru was content by her and Lucas's side and she was glad that he wasn't leaving her quiet yet. As he view the well mannered students behind him, Claudia felt the need to encourage him to be bold. "I'm sure if you tell them some of your accomplishments and show them your battle scars you'll fit right in." she smirked nudging his shoulder. She couldn't say the same about herself, but there's got to be some way to connect with them.
Ivan was about to break the ice with Lumina when a dashing young man trotted in next to them striking up a conversation. His name is Laxion...he's heard that name before but couldn't but his finger on it. He asked about their journey, and Ivan did find it interesting and way out of the norm. He could only shrug in the hopes that she doesn't mention Tsuna's little accident. Apparently, the boy had just as much fulfillment before addressing him and Lumina properly. "You got it right, Kid." He replied in a gruff tone before looking behind him to see the two girl's a ways behind. One with a red hood covering her face and the other trying to hide her ears and tail. This year was shaping up to be a rough but exciting one.

◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ Alexis ThemeIt had been weeks since the original discovery of Euphemia's real identity. She was Ruby all along. Team Elixer had believed Ruby dead for a year now, since the defeat of Lucifial they had all believed she was dead. Lucas himself saw her die before his eyes and was cursed with the memory of letting her go. It was all a lie, though not of Lucas' creation. It was as if Lucifial had to be defeated whilst leaving behind one last kick in the teeth. Ruby had been reborn anew, but with that of a demon possessing her body, and the taint of an evil woman commanding her like a puppet. For days they battled, and it all came to a climatic battle in Morningsong Forest, just on the verge of the border with Dawnrise Vale. In the end, it was everyone's combined efforts that subdued 'Euphemia' so that Lucas Purevelion could step in with the Purevelion Blade and repeat the process he had done to seperate Adi's soul from Zurial's a year ago. Noww Ruby, the real... impossible Ruby was beginning to stir. Ruby was lying in a bed in a pristine, cream and white stone building with open windows that stared out into Evermoon. The gigantic tree of stars known as Steldrassil was still standing much, much higher than the tower they were all situated within. Through the marble window a few vines with flowers could be seen growing inside, but only slightly. Alexis was sitting most closely to Ruby, on a wooden chair pulled as close to the head of the bed as she could. Ruby's hand was kept inside Alexis' as her long blonde hair swept down between them and her crystal blue eyes stared on as they had done for days at Steldrassil outside. She knew the trunk of the tree very well now, dark barked, shimmering with arcane energy in little glowing orbs here and there, with leaves from branches much higher up that often glowed like twilight. On the opposite side of the bed was Tsuna, the most unlikely of anyone to be standing here. She had showed herself to be far more caring than it may seem, even if it wasn't obvious, during the last days of the battle. Although it was a battle that mostly the teachers battled, no one could ignore trying to help. Tsuna, Micha'el and Lottie all did what they could, even the rest of the students helped to defend Evermoon when the explosion of demonic magic released from Euphemia's presence caused the Vardent to become enraged and leaving the hostile forests. Laxion, Nyru and Claudia then arrived at the doorway outside, only to find that Lottie and Micha'el were wwatching through the doorway themselves. "Lottie, Micha'el" Laxion said, standing straight like a soldier. The two turned around suddenly as if startled and began making excuses "Laxion!" Lottie began, scratching her head, "we" "Tsuna" Micha'el then added, Lottie nodded and said "yeah, we.. Tsuna wanted to check on Ruby!" "We... we are glad it's over... and that-" "we're so happy that you can all be reunited... you, if anyone should be rewarded for saving us all from the Darkness last year" Lottie was for once quite calm and sincere. It made Laxion lose his breath for a moment as a cold chill ran over it. Not the sad or the evil kind, but the unexpected, emotional wave followed by heat. For a moment she thought she saw the soldier's eyes glisten over, and she looked to Nyru (who she always thought was hot, and was jealous that Laxion got to have him all to himself. They might try to hide it but everyone knew they were dating) and then she looked to Claudia if only for a moment. "Thank you" Laxion said with a breath of pure serenity. "Where.. is Lucas?" asked Micha'el, diligently. Laxion, as guardian for Hope Academy, responded, "he is discussing the future of the Otherearth Expedition with Lumina and... your other teacher" meaning the creepy one. Micha'el nodded, just as a voice came from the room behind them. It was Alexis. "She's stirring - she's waking up! I can feel it". Laxion's eyes opened wide and for a moment he forgot the world around him as he ran inside to be by the bedside. Nyru and Claudia followed in quickly. At which point Tsuna must have decided to leave, as Micha'el and Lottie awaited for her on the other side of the doorway. "Tsuna" Lottie said with a smile, her hands behind her back as she tip-toed and rocked backwards and forwards on her feet for a moment, happy to see her new friend - even if they sometimes still didn't get along. Lottie just couldn't help it - she always thrust her love unto anyone, even if they were as easy to irritate as Tsuna! "Didn't you want to stay?" Micha'el asked with a smile.
◊◊◊▐Ω▌◊◊◊ I opened my eyes to another day
To things that I had known,
things that happened everyday.
I feel there's a shadow creeping up on me
The wind blows through the streets
Telling me something I don't see ❖
Draw the line, and turn the time
Taking back what was mine
Now I can change almost anything
Hold tight, search for the light
Do I know what's wrong or right
Put the pieces back where they belong

Tsuna MikiThe battle was intense to free Ruby's soul that was trapped under the tyranny of the demon possessing her. According to the teachers, Lucas and the other staff members that were closest to her, said that this was Lucifial's work. A year ago, Occulas had been eclipsed in darkness and demons ran rampant through the streets killing any innocent bystander in sight. The students of the academies were sent underground into shelters while the rest of the towns nearby were quickly evacuated. Many of the senior year students fought, but most of their efforts were in vain and many of them ended up injured or didn't come back at all. Tsuna had only read articles on the battle and the noble sacrifice of Ruby, but never got to experience the pandemonium first hand. This feat of the demon within the girl was daunting on everyone and nearly endangered the whole population of Evermoon City. Luckily, the combine strength of the students and staff ensnared the demon long enough for Lucas to step in and sever there bond.
Tsuna looked down solemnly at the unconscious child, her delicate pale skin and stark white hair contrasted against the cream blankets enveloping her. The windows were wide open letting in a gentle breeze and the shining of the Steldrassil tree glistened onto Ruby's still face. Growth from vines outside invaded the window frame, but never stretched past that point onto the smooth marble interior. The mistress of Arcane magic, Alexis, sat at the very foot of the bed never releasing Ruby's frail hand. Her gorgeous blonde hair cascaded over her crystal blues eyes and even captured the sheen of the twilight glowing leaves rustling on their branches. Alexis knew Ruby personally unlike her who had teamed up with the albino not knowing that she was possessed by a demon. The redhead felt every p***k and heart wrenching feeling when the demonic energy hit her at full force. Although the Vardent's inhabiting the forests fled, there were creatures from the darkness of her own thoughts that she had to conquer. The whole ordeal was exhausted, but even though Ruby had betrayed her not through her own will of course, Tsuna didn't think less of her. The only reason Tsuna was in the room now was out of respect for the woman seeing how she didn't judge her like the other students did.
Lottie and Micha'el occupied the door frame waiting for her to come out when Laxion, Nyru, and Claudia showed up. Obviously, the two were startled trying to make up an excuse as to why they were there only to blurt out the truth. Tsuna glanced up to view the awkward encounter and could see how worried Ruby's teammates are. Especially, Claudia who kept standing on her tip-toes just to take a peek at her sister's slowly healing condition. Lottie spun them words of gratitude and hope which Laxion, although winded, seemed grateful to hear. However, Micha'el obnoxious curiosity kicked in and he asked where Lucas has disappeared to seeing how he was the founder of Team Elixer. Laxion replied that he was discussing future expedition of Otherearth with Lumina and Ivan whom he despised because of his erotic nature. At that moment, when everyone felt serene, Ruby began to stir which caused Alexis to alert the others. As they ran in to be reunited with their friend, Tsuna found it appropriate to leave.
Calmly, she headed for the door wiping away the tears that were about to erupt from her eyes and glanced at her two potential partners. Lottie smiled at her swaying back and forth which Tsuna detested so she had no problem snapping back. "What? I just have some dirt in my eyes." she swiftly turned rubbing her eyes roughly. Micha'el's articulate voice chimed in asking if she wanted to say and this time she responded firmly with a solid head shake. "No. It's not my place to stay." With that, she respectfully shut the door on the group to give them some privacy. "We should head back." Tsuna suggested confidently straightening up.
Meanwhile, Ruby's eyes hesitantly fluttered open and she was introduced to the world of the living once again. She stared at everyone blankly letting the grogginess wear off before she addressed anyone. Her memories were still a hindrance considering they were all jumbled around because of the demon. She felt like she knew all these people around her, like she had seen vague images of them before in her dreams. The last few months had passed by so quickly that she could barely remember any of it expect the extremely important events. Ruby examined each face around her carefully and her now dull red eyes settled on the woman that sort of resembled her. She was biting on her nails nervously and crying waterfalls of tears. "Claudia..." the child breathed as their faces began to sync up with names from her deepest memories. The names didn't have any meaning to them yet, but in time they would. Claudia nodded and reached out to brush Ruby's hair as the girl turned to the next person. "Nyru..." she looked over him briefly before going to the two she recognized the most. "Laxion...Alexis..." Her free hand lightly reached out to the soldier yearning for his touch. "There's someone else too...Lucas..." she shuttered in a raspy tone as she looked around for him. Out of all them, he was the one that she needed to see.

 Scarlot Tamiya-Satoru ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ±
Even if the reality I've obtained is dim,
And I can't see what lies in front of me,
I feel like i can proceed on this lengthy road,
As long as I'm with you!
Reliving our scraped up yesterday,
We'll open the way to a hopeful tomorrow!
"Dirt?!" Lottie questioned immediately with a grin over her face. But Micha'el took attention away from that quickly and went on to ask about staying. But Tsuna made it clear that she wasn't to stay. As she closed the door carefully it gave a small click. "Hey" Micha'el then added, taking his spot beside Tsuna, and Lottie on the other side of her, "I think Lumina is putting up a mission board - not that everything is... you know"
"fun again?" Lottie added, her head tilted over and peaking out from tsuna's chest from Micha'el point of view, Tsuna was quite tall compared to Lottie, who was very short. "Hm" Micha'el let out a small chuckle with a smile. "Yeah..." he said, and then looked to Tsuna as they made their way down the wide spiral staircase leading to the bottom of the tower, "I think we should take a higher level mission". Lottie's interest peeked and she cocked a brow, looking between Tsuna and Micha'el. At first he awaited some kind of rebuke, but he added "I mean - we make a good team, all three of us! So... yeah" he scratched the back of his head as he awaited a reply from Tsuna - he hoped she agreed.
Nyru let out a small exhale of air and smiled through his longer dark hair, it was a messy shoulder length now - he had been growing it somewhat much to Laxion's dismay. It would always get in the way of his face. Hearing his name from an old friend was refreshing - but more so emotional for Alexis and Laxion. Laxion knelt dowwn beside the bed and said "hey" with a smile, Alexis meanwwhile broke a tear, "Ruby-" and smiled too. Nyru felt like the odd one out, for the others all had a tight tie to Ruby, even Claudia... being sisters and all. But nonetheless - this was beautiful. But then Ruby went on to speak about Lucas. Alexis' glazed blue eyes blinked a few times and she wiped away the tears, "Uh..." he took in a breath, "Lucas is here" she nodded, "he's organising something outside, we can see him as soon as you're able to - you took a bit of a beating so just let the Star Elf magic do it's job for now." She meant the healing, by now the elf magic here was normal, but Ruby probably didn't understand any of it, did she even knoww she was in Otherearth?
Not far from the centre of the city, where Steldrassil could still watch and cover with it's colossal canopy, there was a large creamed stone area. It was a giant platform with columns around its edge and a grove outside of it. Short cut light grass and a pathway circling it, along the edges were tall and thin-cut trees of lighter leaves. At the back was a large building made from stone that was circular with large open archways, a staircase clung to the wall inside in a circle to reach the upper level, which in turn led to a platform outside the building, and another staircase clinging to the outside of the walls to another platform at the front, looking over the marbled area which all the students frequented. Silver railings were used, and up there is where Lucas normally stood with the other teachers. This time though they were out on the platform, greeting students into the building behind them with the silvery blue glass domed ceiling. Within is where they could find the missions spread out along the walls woven into arcane images by the magic of the Star Elves. Beneath each mission was a scroll with a silver quil for students to assign themselves to.
Micha'el, Tsuna and Lottie arrived to tthe bustling area. For the first time since times got tough this place was as it should have been from the start - filled with excitement, a need for exploration and a will to team up and do well... as well as competing against other schools. Lumina didn't like to let students do it but they did it anyway - Lottie wanted to show those chumps at Merlin that magic isn't the best and only way to fight! "I uh... actually saw a mission over here" Micha'el said, walking ahead as if not to give them a chance to retaliate. He led them within the stone building and weaved through students before finding his way to a dark corner where a mission was quite suspiciously placed by a tall shrub, as if to hide it. No one else seemed to pay it much attention, as it only showed a tall and majestic city without Vardent or any other signs of obvious fighting. As they all stood in front of it, Lottie cocked her hip and darted her eyes over it. "Uh... I don't like to dampen your fire here Micha'el... but..."
"Wait, look" he then leaned forwards and put out a book on the table before them, pushing the scroll and quill aside. "It's called Sunspire - i did some research and I found out wwhy they tried to hide the mission here. The Star Elves here don't get along very well with the people in this city. It's called Sunspire, and it's home to the Sun Elves - according to some rough history something bad happened and relationships between these places went sour. This mission is also higher level than the others for some reason, I researched the area and the Sun Elves have pretty good control over the Verdant in their area so im interested in finding out what the mission is really abou-"
He stopped talking when he saw a shadow loom over the three of them, and it was Lucas Purevelion. Micha'el stuttered and retrieved the history book, "Lucas. I..."
"you used your incentive. Well done. I'm not surprised that you three would want this mission. In fact - I think its perfect for you..."
"But - its a high rank mission, I doubt we meet requirements" Micha'el looked bettween them with a dampened spirit. But Lucas, in all his divine beauty tilted his head and smiled slightly, Micha'el saw him put his hand beneath his robe and over the hilt of his mighty weapon. From here he could see the blade, as it was in shadows and not sun light. Lucas said "why don't you at least give it a try". Lottie then took the lead after staring at Tsuna for a moment and began writing down their names on tthe scroll - then Micha'el asked tthe big question, "what exactly is this mission for?" and Lucas responded, "it is just like the others, yet involves far more tactical fighting. Your enemies will include humanoid Verdant"
"hey!" Lottie then said over her shouler, "what should our team be called?" and Lucas himself gave his own opinion. "How about" he said, "Team Sun. I would normally say that because of your destination. But I think today I'm saying that because you have all burned far brighter than most students here have. Good Luck"and wwith that Lucas was quickly leaving back up the staircase along the inside wall to meet with the other teachers upstairs overlooking the outside platform.
((okay so i got abit lazy with description towards the end and i sped through stuff but i thought with this i can cram in the boring stuff and we can start tthe mission! WWhat do you think of the team name? following trend a little bit))
Even the bonds we left gathering dust connect,
As our pasts and futures stand back to back.
We'll repeat an answer that's full of inaccuracies,
Then seek the light, reaching out our hands - as many times as it takes!

Tsuna MikiOf course, Lottie questioned her pathetic excuse of a lie as she shut the door to leave the other team in peace. Falling into formation with her comrades, Lottie to her left and Micha'el at her right, he suggested that they should head to the mission board that Lumina had set up. Although, the traumatizing experience they had battling Ruby must have discouraged them from associating with any acts of violence. Lottie's contagious smile and carefree attitude relinquished her doubts and Micha'el's too as he happily agreed with her. Tsuna on the other hand rolled her eyes at them as if she was annoyed by their cheerful nature when in fact she secretly thrived in it. The three scurried down the spiral staircase and at the corner of her eyes, she could see Micha'el wanting to suggest something crazy. Luckily, his proposition wasn't frowned upon since she always looked for opportunities to make herself stronger. Tsuna arched her ginger brow along with Lottie who sought no objection to this plan. Micha'el was even compelled to support his statement by emphasizing that there team work has improved. As usual, they looked to her for a final say so, considering she was the leader and all, so she replied with a blunt, "Why not? We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Besides, I'll make an amazing leader, not that I'm already the boss, but yeah." she smirked, praising her already inflated ego.
Claudia swallowed lightly trying to contain her emotions and she distracted herself with Nyru's tangled locks to give Team Elixer a moment. She bothered Nyru by attempting her part his hair to reveal his pale face, but he swatted her away making her want to fix his hair more. She acted like a pesky mother figure to him sometimes or an overbearing sister who had nothing better to do. Ruby blankly watched Laxion anchor himself down by the bedside and felt guilt for causing Alexis to cry. She twisted her flushed pink lips in regret and confused before the acknowledgement of Lucas came up. Alexis wiped away her tears and anxiously explained that he was there, but busy organizing an event. She promised they would see him once she was well after taking a beating and now allowing Elf Magic to replenish her health. Questions piled up in her subconscious and jumbled memories added to the confusion. Ruby held her head painfully wondering where to start, but kept coming back to the same conclusion; go see Lucas. She slowly lifted her head and looked at the other knowing that they wouldn't let her leave until her condition stabilized. Ruby hated to do this after their blissful reunion, but she had to see Lucas now to spark some kind of memory that will reconnect the disconjoined ones. Stopping her frantic gaze at Alexis, she whispered her name and pretended to faint by summing over in her arms. Everyone called out to her in worry and she would apologize later. Limply lying there, she anticipating for the group to exit the room to give her more time to recover. That'll be her perfect chance to escape and find Lucas.
A few meters away from the center of the city shaded by the twinkling canopy of the Steldrassil, Tsuna marched proudly into a cream stoned coliseum area. The platform was decorated with columns with a freshly cut grove lining the outside. Thin trees with glowing white leaves dotted the roundabout pathway that stretched through the curved archways ending at large doubled doors. In front of them stood an enormous stone building with several staircases and moving platforms to transport ambitious students to their next location. Luxurious silver railings termed the staircase up to the platform where the teachers normally sat, but today was exceptionally special. Lucas, Lumina, and Ivan personally greeted the students welcoming them into the aquatic, blue glass dome. Arcane magic from the Star Elves themselves projected a hologram of the missions that students could embark on by the walls once they sign their names on the scrolls below. The hardest part was deciding which one to pick.
The three squirmed their way into the crowded entrance enamored with the thought of free lance exploration and a since of pride over the other schools. At first, Tsuna wanted to pick a mission blindly and thought Micha'el was already chickening out when he discovered an unknown mission. Maneuvering through the students, they ended up at a screen eclipsed by a conveniently placed shrub in a darkened corner of the room. Considering the projection only displayed a boring stale shot of a whimsical city, it was obviously why no one took this mission. It was probably a reconnaissance mission at best, one of the lowest level of mission that involved zero fighting and heavy intuition skills. Tsuna practically had the same reaction as Lottie as the girl tried to dissuade Micha'el from choosing this one. However, the boy did his research on the mission and claimed that it was higher ranking than the rest. Apparently, Sunspire is a native land ruled by the Sun Elves who feel animosity towards the Star Elves. History tells that something between the two nations went array, but the area is cleared of most Verdants by the Sun Elves which leaves the trio wondering why this mission is so important.
Suddenly, an intimidating, yet warm shadow lurked over them and the three turned to find Lucas Purevelion in all his glory. Micha'el retreated and snatched his book nervously thinking the instructor would deterred them from the mission. Lucas nullified their worries and thought the mission suited them best considering what they've gone through in the last few days. There was a doubt to combat their excitement as Micha'el voiced what they all were thinking; the daunting list of requirements. Changing his normally stern stance to a more sympathetic one, Lucas tilted his head grinning and placing his hands beneath his robes. His sword was visible in the shadows inspiring the children to follow their gut and take the mission upon his encouragement for them to do so. Lottie quickly began to fill out the paperwork while Micha'el inquired additional details on the mission. Astonishingly, this mission was no walk in the park, they were going to be facing humanoid Verdants which sounded far more formidable than the creatures they've previously encountered. Tsuna breathed in happily before Lottie interrupted her triumph asking for a team name. She shrugged, but Lucas voiced his own idea for them and ultimately they were knighted Team Sun. The name didn't stem from their destination either but from their determination and superiority over the other students. He momentarily wished them luck and began to ascend the staircase nearest to the outer wall when she ran after him without hesitation or a word to her comrades. Easily catching up, she grabbed his wrist firmly and waited for him to turn and look her in the eyes. "I'm sorry for stopping you, but I feel like I should tell you this." she let go of him and inhaled deeply. "I don't know if you were informed, but Ruby's awake. I think she'd want to see you considering how long you've been her teacher. I know it isn't my place, but I just felt you should know." The redhead stepped back and bowed stiffly, a formality she wasn't accustom to, and ran off to rejoin Micha'el and Lottie once again.

╔════__❃__════Aoi Celeste════__❃__════╝ Someone's calling you, can't you hear the voice?
Now it's time to go, show your bravery. The words, "I want to protect you," came flowing out of nowhere;
If you can put a stop to this feeling - this voice -
Then just try to break it!
Feeling reassured and special for being given a name by Lucas himself, the newly dubbed Team Sun felt their spirits were lifted. Tsuna took it upon herself to make after Lucas. He was just a few steps up when he felt something grab his wrist. He stopped suddenly and carefully turned around on his heel to look down at the girl. "Tsuna" he said, surprised. She explained she was sorry for coming back for him but had something to tell him. But when she explained that Ruby had awoken and that after being her teacher for so long he might want to see her. He couldn't hide it, a smile grew on his face when she told him and he seemed to relax. Lucas pulled out his hand to put it on her shoulder but she had already taken her leave and bowed somewhat stiffly as he pulled back his hand. As he watched her leave he couldn't help but smile, and keeping on smiling after that. With a breath he took the few steps back down the stairs and made his way out to the courtyard. "Going somewhere, Lucas?" Lumina asked from up above, in her place beside Ivan. Lucas looked up briefly, a blur of white and pure, calm happiness, "I have someone I need to see" was all he explained, and with a wave he calmly weaved through the students towards the tower that Ruby was being kept. "Hm" Lumina said, crossing her arms and cocking her hip with a smile, "I wish i saw him with his team before The Darkness." she said, then looking to Ivan. But before he could speak he was interupted by Lil' P, "What, before the doom and gloom?! I heard stories are too happy and cheery like that". Once Ivan had said whatever he wanted to say, they were all surprised to here a delicate young girls voice behind them. Her voice was smooth like velvet and sweeter than any others they had heard before.
"Uhm... Excuse me, Lumina?" the voice said. Together they turned to lok behind them, their backs leaning against the silver railing of the balcony. There was a student with long nearly-white hair that had a pale pink tint to it. She was smiling and had delicate blue eyes. Her hands were locked together over her waist. "Yes?" Lumina said, "how can we help you?"
"Uhm.. my name is Aoi, Aoi Celeste. I was wondering if you know where I could find Alexis?"
"Oh, Aoi!" Lumina said with almost a hop and a skip in her jump of realisation. "Alexis told me that you would come looking for her. How silly of me to not remember you straight away, im terribly sorry" Aoi chuckled and raised a hand to cover her mouth, "there are a lot of us, miss. It's okay."
Lumina stepped forwards and over her shoulder said to Ivan "please excuse us for a few minutes, Ivan" then turned back to Aoi, "Alexis is currently busy, but she left me in charge of assigning you to your new team. Please, follow me"
"Its.... almost... OFFICIAL!" Lottie seemed to be bursting with excitement as she finished writing down their names, she had only a few last letters to write! "Excuse me! Tsuna! Micha'el, Lottie!" Lumina said, weaving through the students and appearing where Lucas was a few minutes ago. She was a stark contrast to Lucas with his white and silver. Lumina was all black in a big dress with giant batwings resting over the bottom half. She must be excited, Micha'el thought, it was almost halloween. "Oh" she said, noticing their mission, "so, Lucas was right that you would go for this one. Anyway" she said swiftly moving on to her subject, "I'm here on behalf of Alexis, the leader of Merlin Academy's expedition class. As you know, most teams are usually expected to be made of four students. We understand that because of many reasons your team is only 3. However... Alexis feels she has found the perfect new member for your team"
"ooooooooooooo is it another boy?" Lottie asked, "please be a boy" she wwhispered to Tsuna, as if she'd care. Then Lumina stepped to the side and revealed a young girl, she smiled with her hands over her waist held together again. "Hello" she said. "Oh..." Lottie receded back to the mission hologram. Lumina clapped her hands together, "I'd like to introduce to you, Aoi Celeste. Her previous team members have returned early to Occulas to finish their examinations before graduation this year. So Aoi has no team. So... I hope that you three won't mind accepting her to your team."
Finally, the girl, Aoi, stepped forwards, "I qualify top of my classes, lets work together and work for a better future!"
If someone were to ask us, "Who's this all for?" We'd laugh, and say, "Our egos."
Even if a mirage lies before us... even if our communication remains surface-level...
I realise that I truly believe; there's more than forewells to be found on this planet!
Even if time passes and this all fades away, I'll still smile and say, "It wasn't a waste!"

Tsuna MikiBeing touched by Lucas was like being purified by an angel of the highest virtue and she definitely didn't deserve that honor. Her ears twitched under her hat nervously and the bulk of her tail wagged in her jacket as she left the man with a happy thoughts. Under the brim of her hat, the child lightly smiled revealing his small fangs a bit knowing she had repaid her respects him and Ruby. Taking a quick gander over her shoulder, she saw Lucas retreat from the stairs and head out into a courtyard blending into the shining sunlight. From above, Ivan monitored with Lumina and looked down to see Lucas abandoning his post. She asked where he was running off to and by his tranquil moments the teacher could only guess where else he was needed. He insisted that he had someone to see and departed with a brief wave causing Ivan to stroke his goatee and smirk. "He's probably going to go see that student of his. She did quiet a number on me and maybe I'll forgive her for that later." he joked, but Lumina took it as offense as she slapped his arm. The woman loosened her composure becoming more playfully and telling Ivan that she wished she could have seen them in their glory days. He breathed in to responded when that nuisance of a pumpkin interrupted mentioning how happy they once were. "Yeah, those days are gone but their memories won't ever fade." He sympathized for the team when a sweet, innocent voice caught him off guard.
Sliding his back along the silver railing to acknowledge her, he noticed how petite and gentle she looked, certainly not the appearance of a fighter. Her hair was so long that it extended far past her hips and had a pinkish hue to it. Her big blues eyes reflected her young age as he plump lips parted to announce herself. Aoi Celeste is her name and apparently she was under Alexis's care before introducing herself to them. Lumina excitingly took her under her wing, literally considering how the woman dressed for the spooky occasion, and apologized for forgetting that she would show up today. Of course, the girl didn't take it to heart and the two women separated themselves from him to chat privately. He cocked a brow and then looked around suspiciously to see if the cost was clear for him to light a cigarette. Slyly, he pulled a pack from his pocket and lit the tobacco stick with an old lighter he always carried. The two ladies wondered off so he assumed this was a perfect to take a break.
Tsuna crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently waiting for they paperwork to be finished. Lottie exclaimed her excitement to make their group official when Lumina got their attention after stepping out from the crowd. She wasn't terribly surprised that they had claimed that mission seeing how Lucas has practically urged them too. Anyway, Lumina informed that her audience was on behalf of Alexis and explained that most teams traveled in groups of four not three. According to the leader of the Merlin Academy, another student would make an excellent addition to their team and who was she to deny the woman's judgement. Lottie hoped it was a boy, but Tsuna just scoffed and replied, "Gender doesn't matter, as long as they don't get in my way we'll be fine." Lumina moved aside like a certain to reveal this sweet looking girl that made Tsuna's teeth ache. She tried to connect with them immediately only to be rejected by Lottie because of their sex. "You have got to be kidding me..." the wolf growled as Lumina addressed the real reason why she was here. Her teams was sent back to Occulas early and she needed a team to travel with, but Tsuna wasn't in the mood to babysit. Aoi boldly greeted them and listed her expertise before ensuring a future with them. Tsuna wasn't buying her sugarcoated attitude and walked up to her getting so close that she loomed just inches over her. Her fierce blue eyes narrowed in on the girl and she replied roughly, "Look Sugar Cube, I'm the leader here. If you're going to be part of this team follow me and don't get in my way. You better prove yourself or I'll take care of you myself." she bared her fangs to give a girl a bit of a scare to confirm her dominance now rather than later. quote="Zylvanness"]

Lucas didn't pass any of the others on the way up to the tower to meet Ruby, he had guessed they went elsewhere in the city to have a break from the students. They really deserved it, and Lumina, himself and Ivan could handle it fine. When he got to the door where Ruby was he breathed in and calmed himself. Even he, perhaps the most stable and calm of anyone, was a little anxious. Steadily he pushed the door open into the stone room where Ruby slept. Stepping in he looked around briefly and found no one else. "Ruby?" he asked softly, closing the door behind him and then standing up straight and proud, his hands behind him as he always did.
Aoi saw the apprehension in all of them when they first set their eyes upon her. Her smile almost faded, especially when Tsuna came up to her like a tower. It cast a shadow of her that made her pull a confused and suspicious face. "Heh... heh..." Aoi began, raising her finger as if to add something, "thank... you?" she asked, tilting her head. Then Micha'el dived in, trying to smile, "what Tsuna means to say is welcome to Team Sun! She can't wait to see what you have to offer"
"Great!" Lumina clapped her hands together again, "Aoi, if you don't mind, i'll leave you with these three and you can head off on your mission as soon as you're all ready. The Star Elvs have been kind enough to allow us temporary portals to mission destinations today" and with that Lumina backed off into the crowd of students.
"Hey!" Lottie then chirped in and put her hand out as if to accept Aoi's hand, "my name is Lottie, younger sister of Lilly Tamiya-Sotaru" she added that bit as if trying to name drop. Aoi's eyes then lit up, "EEEEH?! Really?! That's amazing, I love her music. I could never go to her concerts though... I've always been busy helping my academy on missions against Bloodholme". Micha'el watched as the girl seemed to look saddened by remembering that, and Micha'el then remembered himself that Merlin Academy was responsible for most of the defence missions against controlling the enemy numbers on Bloodholme. The Scarred weren't much of a threat, but if left untouched for too long they sometimes like to cross the ocean to attack the east coast of Occulas. "So... what are your powers?" Aoi then asked, and Micha'el took one glance to Tsuna before making up his mind ti speak on behalf of everyone. He pulled out the Aria and with a wave of his hand the book opened to reveal countless pages lined in gold, "all of my magic comes from this book. I'm self-taught in divine magic... and Tsuna there uh..." he took one more glance down to her waist and swallowed, "she uh... uses a giant hammer. And Lottie-"
"I use a spiritually possessed glaive" Lottie interrupted as if quite proud, she held out her Glaive and hugged it tightly.
((So uhm, shall i saw here is the point where Tsuna decided to shove everyone along towards the mission? You can write in your post that Lottie finishes putting Aoi's name down on the scroll. When it's done the magic hologram will fade away and turn unto a locket with an orange gem inside it. They have to hand it to a Star Elf who's outside, they'll rip open a magical blue portal to the Vale outside Sunspire. I can't make any promises that they'll be 'dropped' off safely. i mean. they might be in the sky. MAYBE. i'll reveal in my next post ;D))
If someone were to ask us, "Who's this all for?" We'd laugh, and say, "Our egos."
Even if a mirage lies before us... even if our communication remains surface-level...
I realise that I truly believe; there's more than forewells to be found on this planet!
Even if time passes and this all fades away, I'll still smile and say, "It wasn't a waste!"

Tsuna MikiThe others hadn't been absent for long, but it took some time for the child to become acquainted with her surroundings. Eventually, she found the strength to lift her upper body up, but her stamina weakened rapidly and her breath shortened. Still, she would take the risk of venturing out, however, someone's footsteps stopped at her door and a shadow filled the frame. Shakily, she adjusted her position and laid back down closing her eyes and waiting for the visitor to enter. She anticipated the monotone voice of a doctor or nurse, but it was a familiar voice that surprised her. Instead of pretending to wake up, she opened her eyes and stared as Lucas's refreshing presence compared to her fragile composure. She sat up without a word, she was utterly stunned but her limps moved on their own as she ignored the pain. Sitting up and letting her thin legs swing off the bed, she slowly slid down until the pads of her feet touched the cold stone. Similar to a toddler learning how to walk for the first time, she stumbled forward still holding onto the bed until her hands couldn't reach it anymore. But, when she let go, her strength failed her and she instantly collapsed reaching out to Lucas.
Aoi's response wasn't what she expected considering it sounds sarcastic and serious as the same time. Unfortunately, Micha'el jumped in to separate the searing tension between the two changing the message of what she originally intended for the girl. The redhead grunted, but didn't bother to stop Micha'el seeing how he was always a peacemaker and not an activist. Lumina clapped as a small celebration for the newly formed group and told them that they could leave once their ready. The Star Elves have provided them with temporary portals so it'll be easy for them to travel back and forth if necessary. Afterwards, Lumina vanished into the sea of students letting Team Sun to get acquainted with their new member.
Lottie warmed up quickly to Aoi, introducing herself excitingly and even boosting her popularity be mentioning her older sibling, who's career as a pop artist has skyrocketed. Tsuna rolled her eyes since Lilly Tamiya-Sotaru's music wasn't her cup of tea; she listened to music that really made her blood pump. As for Aoi, she explained that defending Bloodholme has taken up most of her free time so she couldn't attend Lilly's concerts like she wanted too. Tsuna though about how Merlin's Academy excelled in defense and other miscellaneous skills when Aoi asked what their powers were. Micha'el assumed Tsuna would go first to exploit her massive weapon and brute strength, but had already made her position clear to the girl earlier. Instead, he vouched for all of them as he presented his book of Aira's to her. He nervously told her that Tsuna wielded a hammer, but didn't go into detail. But, when it came to Lottie she happily showed off her glavie giving Aoi a chance to see her...sappy side. Breathing out, Tsuna twerked her hips and growled, "Forget about formalities! We'll learn all about each other soon enough so lets get going!" Obeiantly, Lottie rushed back over to the scroll and signed Aoi's name away. Once the signatures were submitted, the scroll and hologram faded away and in its place a locket with an orange gem inside appeared levitating freely before them. Tsuna walked up briskly and swiped it from the air without giving it a second glance. "I'm guessing this is our ticket to travel through portals. Let's find the instructor we need to hand this too and leave immediately." The child rotated and gave Aoi a spiteful glance as she walked past her.
