Journey of the Elementals RP (Pm if Interested, Started)

[NeoAC]

There was a bit of a ruckus going on in the cafeteria. Raven sighed as she brought her tray and sat down at a table in the far corner, away from the windows. "Foolish morons," she muttered to herself. "Keep wondering around in your miserable lives, thinking yourselves as more important then you ever will be." She pulled the hood of her robe up farther over her head, the extra inch or so of black hair coming out of the bottom of the opening. Her attention turned to the drab breakfast in front of her. She would need every bit of energy to deal with all these blind conformists.

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

"Good grief. I thought she was hyperactive in classes...hardly surprising, though. Airshifter and Pyromancer together. It's a wonder she finds time to sleep." He curled his eyebrow. "You're a Nightshade, aren't you? Not a lot of interaction between Airshifters and Nightshades, at least from what I've seen."

 

[UnusualStranger]

"Uh...huh. I see. Well then..." Seth began, suddenly trying to remember the name of this girl. "Nina, was it? How about you? Been single just as long, or longer? And...by the way, why wouldn't Nat introduce herself over here, or are you selling her? Pretty sure not many appreciate being sold behind their back."

What exactly is going on today? Aden popular, random people offering me other random people. Next thing you know, the damn Hydromancer I just beat coming over to have a conversation!

Seth continued to chew on his food, now keeping a good watch over at Aden and his situation, as well as with Nina who had directed him towards Nat. He looked far less curious, and much more along the lines of amused.

 

[Lizmichi]

"Well we grew up together which is why I know her. We both joined the academy at the same time. She went with air and I with darkness. You have no fucking idea what it was like to live next to her but I owe her and she's one of the few I care about." she said looking at Aden as she spoke. "God what the hell is she doing this for?" she added.

"Well you see she doesn't want to date someone, her studies mean more to her then romance but still she's grumpy as hell. I just want her to be happy and you and Aden seem to be a good fit for her." she said.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Grana grimaced. "Ouch. That cuts." He joked. Grana shrugged before speaking. "Sorry, I'm Grana Rei. You probably don't remember, but I had you as a teacher as an Apprentice. I hadn't seen you since I passed the Mage test, and I always enjoyed what you revealed into your own studies. I was so fascinated by some of them that I wound up doing some experiments of my own! The topics I liked the most were the ones concerning forms of the other magics. I managed to learn a few tricks from watching other Mages perform- it's probably the reason I actually passed the Mage test. I was just wondering if you had made advances in any new studies." Grana nodded to Nat. "Good morning." He said respectfully, aware of the fact that if she seemed anywhere close to his age, she was at least a level higher than he was.

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

"That's fantastic. I love having a fan." He nodded to Grana. "When I've made a breakthrough, the Pyromancers will be the first to know."

"I'm reasonably sure I can imagine. Woken up in the middle of the night to discuss random things, constant puzzlement at her behaviors. Still. Having a friend can be good. Someone you can trust. It's useful."

He turned his attention back to his food, continuing to quickly eat.

 

[Lizmichi]

"Well I trust only her but I don't need a dating service, I just want to find a master Darnell and become a master my self. I don't have time for crap like this. Well it seems you're busy so I shall leave for I don't really want to stay much longer. It was a pleasure meeting you Aden." Nat said and walked off.

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

"Likewise." Aden waved absently, digging into his coat for a book. He flicked it open and began reading a passage on the interactions of the elements - fire consumed air and put out light, which gave life to the earth which with water's aid gave birth to air.

So where does Darkness come into the cycle?

 

[UnusualStranger]

"......Uh huh. Well then Nina, while I understand you are looking for someone for Nat, I would think that Aden might be a bit more....stony than your ordinary fellow." Seth said, finishing his toast.

"And I note that you didn't answer any inquiries about yourself. Are you perhaps already taken, and are sharing the feeling? Perhaps you want to have Nat test the waters first? Gods, I don't even know how I am a good fit in your particular equation....especially as it seems she is done with her meeting with Aden."

Seth figured he had seen all he needed to as Nat walked away from Aden, meaning he was left with Nina, which was hilarious seeing as how the reason for the meeting seemed to want to just disappear.

 

[Lizmichi]

"I may self am looking for someone else my self but that doesn't matter, besides I'm into women anyway." Nina looked seeing Nat walk away. "Dammit Nat get back here." Nina said as Nat looked back at Nina and faded into the shadows to get away from her. She appeared down the hall and away from Nina moments later. "God Nina what the hell, are you trying to kill me or get me pregnant?" she asked her self.

Nina sighed and turned back to Seth. "Well with Aden he's just as much of an ass as Nat can be so that's why I though he'd fit with her.

 

[UnusualStranger]

Seth didn't bother to hide his mirth at what he just saw. He was openly laughing, getting a few looks from some other student's enjoying themselves. After the quick laugh, and Nat returning, Seth went back to his somewhat mirth filled expression.

"Well, into the ladies then? Fair enough, I guess. Regardless, I think along the lines of 'two wrongs don't equal a right' work just as well when 'two assholes don't equal love'." Seth said, with a small shake of his head.

"Besides, I think that you might want to try a...slightly different strategy with your good friend. I don't think she quite appreciated being pulled into things like that. A push works, but there comes a time where you are throwing people at each other."

With that, Seth stood from his meal, but only took a few steps over to the wall to overlook everything that was going on around the Mess Hall today, since it seemed to be the location of choice for excitement.

Alexander finished his meal before realizing that it was time for him to head to class. He quickly gathered his things and began for the classroom. The walk through the well lit halls was quick and soon enough he was in front of the doors that would lead him to his next lesson. He quickly walked in and took a seat, the class was small but it was not one on one. His teacher was currently a master, and today's class would focus almost exclusively on the healing required of Adepts that would soon be taking their test to advance. Soon enough Cindy Rotunz had entered the room, said hello, and promptly began their training on volunteers who were not greatly injured. Instead of having them work on more serious wounds in class, they were instead tested to shorten the amount of time it took to heal lighter wounds.

At least this type of training means nobody gets hurt if I happen to fail. he thought as he healed the somewhat large cut on the arm of his volunteer. He couldn't feel any pain due to the magic placed on him in preparation for his service, but Alexander still healed the cut as quickly as possible. He had worked the amount of time needed for a cut of this size down to a few seconds but he always looked to push himself harder in preparation for these tests.

 

[Lizmichi]

"Hmmmm I guess. Well I'll just let them natural grow together then, with some help. I guess she didn't like being pulled into this. Ok yea she hated it but she needs to get out more." Nina said thinking to her self then smiled. "Well I can do something less offensive." Nina said smiling more. "Nat has always been drawn to pyromancy but has no wish to learn it. I could bring her with me while I'm learning about fire magic." Nana said happy at her new idea.

Nat walked to her room and got on her bed petting the fox that joined her on the bed soon after she arrived. "Hey Jinx. You seem to be happy today." she said.

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

Nydia had almost finished eating when a pair of girls from her element approached her table and began starting up a conversation. This was quite surprising, most people left her alone as she wished. But Nydia politely smiled and nodded as she only half listened to the girls inform her of the gossip of the day. "Weaver Aden is unusually popular today! Too bad it didn't quite work out for- Oh! Leaving so soon?"

The girls giggling and gossiping came to an abrupt halt as Nydia finished her food and stood up. She had politely listened long enough and had much better things to do. "My apologies, I'm sure this is all quite fascinating for you but I really need to return to my studies. Perhaps you should do the same? Good day to you." Nydia said while giving them a warm smile and a slight bow before turning and walking away.

As she left she heard the girls continue to talk behind her. "Ugh! Who does she think she is! Just because she comes from some big fancy noble family she's too good to talk to us? That's all kinds of messed up. I hope I never get that full of myself when I make adept."

Nydia almost turned to say something to them, but stopped herself. People like them would never be able to understand the burden that had come with her birth no matter what she said. "I think I'll go find a quiet place to meditate for a bit..." Nydia sighed to herself as she headed for the exit. There was no proof that meditation would actually improver ones magical abilities, but Nydia thought she noticed a difference when she did. At the very least it helped calm her soul and relax her mind, which sounded pretty good right about now.

Cale could feel the air get cooler and cooler the deeper he walked into the caverns. It wasn't freezing but it was significantly different from the air above ground and to Cale it felt relaxing. The large tunnels were not haphazardly dug either. They were large and wide with holes dug into walls so torches could be placed and some even had windows if they were close to the surface but what made the tunnels even more mesmerizing were the carving.

As he walked he ran his hand over the wonderful carving left behind by the more experienced Earthshapers. They detailed horrible battles where the dead lay covering the bottom while those who remained fought ferociously to the end. They detailed glorious cities with buildings reaching both sides of the carving but each building is detailed to the very mortar. Finally there was one with the mages. They all were represented in the wall wide carving showcasing their powers, their deeds, their experiences all meticulously shaped, molded, chipped, trimmed, and carved into the very earth. After admiring the sight he turned to see his friends entering the arena. Almost by instinct he felt a gaping scar on the side of his forearm the last time he visited the arena but reluctantly Cale followed suit and entered the arena.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

"Sqwak... Sqwak..." Sir Taco clucked nervously into Ezekials ear trying to stir him. Finally after what seemed like an eternity Ezekial's right eye slowly opened. "Uhhh what Sir Taco?" Ezekial complained as the chicken stared at him, "Food, food yes we can go get some" Ezekial mumbled as he pushed himself off the ground. Wiping the dirt, grass and what could either have been blood or vomit from his robe.

Ezekial slowly stumbled into the cafeteria, "Long night?" One of the cooks yelled at Ezekial as he grabbed some bread, "Can't remember, any new tattoo's?" Ezekial replied. The cook looked Ezekial over quickly before replying "Nope looks like you got lucky this time." Ezekial stared at blankly at a wall for a moment before wandering back outside. "Here" he muttered tearing a chunk of bread off for Sir Taco. Ezekial pulled his jug off his hip and took a short swig from from his jug, the liquid burned slightly as it went down. Ezekial coughed quickly then looked at Sir Taco "Right, now class or go mess around one with the other elements?" Sir Taco stared at him blankly occasionally pecking at the chunk of bread Ezekial had handed him. "Good choice never enjoyed class" Ezekial said yawning then hoisting Sir Taco onto his shoulder and started walking toward the Earth Cavern.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Drew sighed. "Look, I don't know the best way to pass the exams. I'm no Hydromaster. I know you want to do something unique, but you still need to have a basic understanding of your element. Hence why that's what we're practicing. I admit, I might have mostly gotten to Adept rank for my..." he raised his hand and a few sparks of electricity arced between his fingers "...unique methods, but I still had to have a good enough understanding of using Air. As for the little extra thing to convince them to promote you to Adept, why not ask one of your teachers?"

 

[SkyeNeko]

Fei reached her hands out, using her Hydromancy to call the electricity out. The sparks grew to bolts that lanced down around her robes. She had placed some safety pins along the fabric to help her channel the electricity better, something that also came in handy when she needed a quick distraction to run away. A jab with something sharp like that often encouraged people to at least release their grip.

"I don't want to ask my teachers." she fumed, throwing the electricity back his direction. "They're mean..."

It wasn't that her teachers were necessarily mean, but Fei was painfully shy. Most of the teachers didn't even associate her work with her face, and even then they didn't believe she was the one who did it.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Drew messed around with the electricity in his hands. Fei was the only person he trusted enough to do this with him. Everyone else just doesn't seem to know what the hell they're doing or they just think I'm beneath them. I do this better than most Weaver's can... Drew knew that was arrogance speaking... but not entirely. He let Fei mess around with it, but was careful in case things got out of hand. "We can think of something, then. Just don't expect the best ideas..."

The atrium of the Temples of Light was undoubtedly Nydia's favorite place for her meditations. Although it was usually crowded with her fellow LightDwellers, it's beauty was unmatched even on a cloudy day like this one where not as much light got in. Nydia picked out her usual bench, sat down, closed her eyes and began to clear her mind and let go of the things that had been troubling her. Soon she wasn't even aware of the world around her. This was true peace, and she loved every minute of it.
