Camilo Eldenwood - form - life dragon - 20 years - (dorm 4C); location: fourth floor dorm corridor - tags: Ezekiel, NexCamilo listened intently to the explanation, glad that Nex hadn’t taken offense to his asking. “Ooh, how intriguing. I’ll watch out for it- it must be a bit of a troublemaker if you’ve found that out.” The green-haired man peered curiously at the shadow again. He would have asked more, but felt that he had inquired about it enough for having just met this person.
The dragon watched quietly at Ezekiel’s response about the library, curious himself about new books. As far as he knew there weren’t many books on accurate information about supernatural creatures- much less any that were recent or in good condition. Any previous experience he had had included tomes with yellowed and brittle pages or had the leather binding it beginning to fall off. It wouldn’t surprising him if any new books were authored by people in this very town or even at the academy, given the longevity of some creatures. As exciting as checking out such treasures was, Camilo still couldn’t help but feel a bit as though Ezekiel were trying to avoid bringing up the river again.
That wasn’t going to get Camilo to mention it either, as he wasn’t particularly interested in making the other uncomfortable, and instead nodded his gratitude with another fanged smile. “Much appreciated. I’m interested to see who and what else is there.” Thinking that they were about to leave, the dragon made his way over to the magic elevator while making a point to avoid stepping on the sentient shadow. With a movement of his hand by the wall, the platform arrived and opened its doors to the trio. “This is quite the magic, considering the effect doesn’t require someone to monitor it.” He commented, peering around the open door curiously for any magic artifacts that could control the movements.
Cyril Asterlapse - form - 17 years - (dorm 3B); location: academy yard/entrance - tags: Zephyr, TanwenCyril offered a small smile of appreciation at the waving off of his apology, quickly moving past it. “Y-yeah. I’ll leave it for a different time.” He agreed, although he still fully intended to return to the book later. He couldn’t let his lack of experience with elemental magic hold him back, and he was far too stubborn to switch classes even if he couldn’t catch on at first.
Soft purple irises trained themselves on who he now knew as Zephyr, then Tanwen, as he listened to them introduce themselves and their species. It then came his turn, where he offered, “Cyril. Unicorn.” With a quick hand gesture to the rather obvious horn growing from his head. As he considered the identities of his two new classmates, he realized that both likely already had practice with fire-related abilities. This made him even more glad that they hadn’t pressed him on what had irritated him about the book. Phoenixes were practically fire themselves, from what Cyril had heard, and Tanwen was part dragon that breathed the very element- whereas Cyril’s talents were quite a bit more boring. Ah well, now wasn’t the time for the blue-haired teen to focus on those things.
“Hmm, a wood elf and a fire dragon? That’s not something you hear about every day. And phoenixes aren’t all that common either.” Cyril thought aloud, wondering just how many creatures had heard about this school. Although it was on the smaller side, it did a good job at attracting supernaturals. “Oh, if we all have other forms, do either of you think we’ll get to stretch our legs in them? I can’t imagine it would be too shocking in a place like this, but I haven’t seen a large field or pool or anything like the other schools I’ve attended. I suppose there is quite a bit of wooded area too…” Cyril had asked mostly because he was curious about what such creatures really looked like in person, although he did have to admit that it was sometimes more comfortable to take on his original form. It was a little embarrassing though, as he was a bit smaller than he hoped he could be. Maybe that would be more magic that he could learn here, even if it wasn’t necessarily related to the elements.
