School For Half Humans (REBOOT, IC)

[Tomia]

"Ya it's been a few minutes and he hasn't come back, we should go get him." John said, when Mira stood up he nodded. "Ok Mira, but I'm sure he's fine." John walked toward the portal and motioned for them to follow. John wasn't sure what to expect but figured it would be alright. He stepped foward into it and ended up in the library. He looked around for Seth and didn't see him. Then he looked up and saw him laying on the bookshelf. "Well I found him." He said to Aurelia and Mira. Then he turned to an eagle and flew up to the shelf to make sure Seth was alright.
When he saw Aurelia was alright Eric left the room and walked upstairs. He found Salma standing in Aurelia's room. He smiled and sat down next to her. "Aurelia's back" he whispered to her, as not to wake up Asteria. "Everything went alright, it seems."

[New Cinoth]

Seth had one wing draped of him and was completely asleep.Occasionally his wing twitched slightly. Seth was much more pale and haggard looking since the last time John had seen him and it looked the life had nearly been pulled out of him. Color was slowly starting to return to his body but at the pace it was going it would certainly take a while to get him back to normal. A few sections of the tips of his hair turned the same color of purple as his eyes as she slept. Seth coughed lightly in his sleep and rolled over.

[Tomia]

John turned back to his human form and looked at Seth. He was asleep and clearly exhausted. He looked pale and weak, he certainly hadn't told Aurelia the truth about his condition. John hoped Seth would be alright and he knew he needed a way to get him off of the shelf as gently as possible. He figured he would new to fly him off the shelf so he turned back into an eagle and grabbed Seth in his talons and gently as he could and flew him off the shelf. He flew slowly trying to keep Seth as steady as possible. When they landed John turned back into his human form and picked up Seth in his arms. "We should get him back to the palace. He's weak and needs to rest." He said to Aurelia and Mira.

[Nuridia]

Mira and Aurelia nodded. "We should move him as carefully as possible." Mira said. Aurelia said, "I can teleport us but it would use a lot of energy and everybody would have to link hands." "Are we gonna walk or should I teleport everyone?" "Seth's the only one who can close this portal, hopefully nobody will fall into it."

[Tomia]

"We can walk through the portal." John said "I'll carry Seth, I won't let anything happen to him." He assured Mira. He turned to Aurelia "I don't want you to have to use so much energy. We were able to walk through the portal safe enough so we should be able to return without a problem. I'll go first just in case." John walked through the portal slowly with Seth in his arms. When he walked through he ended up on the other side back in the palace.

[New Cinoth]

After Seth was carried through the portal he opened his eyes slowly and yawned, "John?" He sighed, "I'm pretty sure I didn't order you in dreamland..... I was hoping for Mira... Maybe Falan... Possibly both..." He looked around and his eyes widened, "Shit.... This isn't a dream is it? Forget everything you just heard." Oh shit... That's just bloody beautiful. "Wait... Why are you carrying me anyways? I'm not a baby." Seth was looking a little better, slight color had returned to his body and he seemed to have a bit of energy again. "How long was I asleep?"

[Tomia]

John smiled when Seth woke up as put him down on his feet. "Hey look who's awake. You didn't follow Aurelia out of the portal so we went back to get you and we found you asleep on a bookshelf. You were pale and weak so we decided to bring you back here to rest. You were probably only asleep or about 20-30 minutes maybe."

[New Cinoth]

Seth yawned as he stood, "i was just trying to get a bit of shut eye." He sighed, "Around thirty minutes? That's not bad. It was a nice little nap." Seth chuckled and flexed his wings, "Ah... These make the greatest blankets ever." HE leaned in close to John and whispered, "By the way I buried everything pretty deep in Aurelia. As long as no one directly mentions it her memories won't come back. Also please don't mention my deranged speaking earlier.... I thought it was a dream.... You know how it is. I don't want people getting any weird ideas."

[Tomia]

John nodded to Seth "Thanks Seth, I really appreciate it. I owe you one." He nodded again and said " Of course I won't tell anyone. It's no big deal. It's just between you and me." John turned around to make sure Aurelia and Mira were following him.

[Nuridia]

Mira and Aurelia had followed John out of the portal. "Good to have you back Seth." Aurelia smiled and relief flooded into Mira's eyes. "Yeah, we're glad you're okay." Salma thanked Eric and went down to see Aurelia, glad she was okay. Meanwhile, Aurelia went upstairs to visit her parents who were relieved she was okay and then she went to go check on Asteria. Salma stopped by Aurelia's parents after greeting her. "Hey Miss Marie, is Raphael okay?" "He's doing much better, he seems more alert now and he should be up and around soon." "I'm glad." Salma nodded to them before closing their door and heading downstairs.

[Tomia]

When John saw Aurelia and Mira come through the portal he went upstairs to see Eric. When Eric saw his brother he waved to him "Hey bro, how's Aurelia? Is she okay?" John nodded "Ya she should be fine, Seth seems to think the spell worked." "That's good, I'm glad to hear it. So John what's going on between you and Aurelia? What's you guys talk about this morning?" John paused for a second "Honestly I'm not sure. We're gonna try dating for now, I mean I really like her, she's great, but I think she still wants to live in heaven eventually. And I think she wants me to go with her." Eric nodded "You haven't told her about the offers from colleges you're getting have you?" John shook his head "No not yet, I'm gonna wait a while, it's not for certain yet and I don't want to ruin my chance with her over possibilities. Don't tell her alright?" Eric nodded "Of course bro, I have your back." John nodded in thanks and walked off to check on Raphael. When he got to his room he turned to Marie "Hey, how's he feeling?"

[New Cinoth]

Seth nodded to John, "No problem John. Just make sure your brother does't screw it up again. he almost unwound the spell last time." He sighed, "Thanks..... Especially not to Falan or Mira. I don't think they'd appreciate all three of us." He chuckled, "Or maybe they would... Who knows. Maybe after two hundred years I'll ask. That seems good." Seth grinned at Aurelia and Mira, "Oh... Hello you two. Sorry about making you two worry." He saw a slight change in Mira's expression, something that looked like relief. Was she really worried about me.... That's actually quite touching....

[Nuridia]

Marie smiled. "Hello John." "Raph's doing great, he got an energy boost from his brothers and if he keeps resting he should be good to go by five or six o'clock." Raphael was sitting up in bed reading. "Thank you for your help John, and you too Mike." "No worries." the blond angel smiled. "Aurelia's still okay, I'm glad for that." "We were a bit worried about her but she's okay now." Raphael told John. "So, how's everybody else?" "Are they alright?" Marie sighed in relief that her family was okay and took her husband's hand, moving closer to him. Raphael put an arm around her and drew her closer so they could read the book together.

[Tomia]

John nodded to Marie "Good I'm glad to hear that." John nodded to Raphael "It was no problem. With all the help you've given me and Eric it's the least I could do. We both owe our lives to you. Everyone's fine. Seth's a little tired from the spell but he should be better soon. I was worried about Aurelia too. I'm really glad she's alright." He saw Marie and Raphael and figured they would want to be alone. "If you'll exuse me, I want to check on Aurelia and Asteria." He left the room then walked over to Aurelia's room. When he got to her room he saw Aurelia and said "Hey Aurelia, how's Asteria doing?"

[Nuridia]

Marie turned to Raphael after John left. "Well, he sure rushed out here fast." The angel smiled and kissed his wife. "Maybe he was taking the hint." "What hint?" she asked smiling. "Raph, I thought we were going to wait until after the ball for that." "And besides, you're still resting." "I believe I'm strong enough for this." "And, we can always meet up again after the ball." Michael interjected. "Actually, doing that does give you more energy afterward." Marie jokingly glared at him. "Michael, you're not helping the situation." "Listen brother, I love you but I'd like to be alone for a while if you don't mind." "Raph, what do you me...oh, I get it." "Alright, I'll be downstairs." "Just let me lock the door for you guys." Michael left the room, locking the door behind him. "So what do you say Mimi, a little dessert before dinner?" She smiled at him, but still wanted to make sure he was okay. "I thought you'd never ask." "But Raph, you need to rest." "I'm perfectly fine for this." "I feel much better." He placed a hand on her knee and the redhead laughed softly. "Alright then." "You know I can't refuse you anything." She kissed him before reaching over to turn out the reading lamp. Meanwhile, Aurelia smiled and turned to John. "She's doing fine, just a bit tuckered out." "Anyway, how's Dad?" "You left fairly quickly so he seems to be well."

[Tomia]

John nodded "That's good. Ya you're dad seemed fine, just needed some rest I guess. I'm glad he's ok, he's down a lot for me and Eric." John paused and said "Ya your parents seemed like they wanted to be... alone." John knew Aurelia was uncomfortable about her parents' affections and wasn't sure how to bring it up. He thought while situation was little funny but knew it upset her so he had to be supportive.

[New Cinoth]

Seth looked around, he was looking much better and his eyes once again shone with the odd inner light that they possessed. "Sorry about that. I had to help Aurelia's family out." Seth grinned at Mira, "So what do you want to do now? There's not much time until the party." Seth's gaze turned to Micheal who had came down the stairs. Another angel... How many do they have in this place. Raphael and Aurelia is enough and now they have another> "Did I miss anything important while I was taking my nap?"

[Nuridia]

Mira smiled. "Well the ball's in about eight hours so I wondered maybe we can talk or take a walk before then?" Michael saw Seth. "Oh, you must be Seth." "I'm Michael, Raphael's younger brother." "I just came to make sure he's okay, and may I say he's certainly feeling better." Meanwhile in her room, Aurelia blushed a little. "Oh...I see." "Well I'm glad he's feeling okay." "It couldn't have been that bad, they wouldn't make out hard or do...that in front of anyone because while they do like to show their love for one another they have manners." "I've accepted it, and I'm happy they love each other still." "They've been married for twenty-one years, marriages sadly don't last that long anymore especially with all the shit they've been through together, being an interspecies couple." "That's real true love what they have and it's a very beautiful thing." "They were probably just cuddling before you left." "I mean, it's amazing." "My parents have only ever been with each other, they've never in their lives had any other lovers." "I want to have a love like that."

[Tomia]

John nodded "Ya they weren't doing anything in front of me, I just could tell they wanted to be alone." John listened to Aurelia talk about her parents. When she was done, John put his arm around her. "Ya they are pretty amazing. Jupiter never stayed with my mom, he was never much of father, but my stepdad and my mom really love each other." When she said wanted love like her parents, he wondered what he should say, but knew he should chose his words carefully. "You'll have what your parents have , I'm sure you will."

[New Cinoth]

Seth nodded, "Sounds like fun. Where to?" Seth was quite excited to get to talk more with Mira, he was certainly starting to like her quite a bit. However he needed more time to be certain, after all eternity is a long time to spend with another person. Seth sighed when Michael walked up, Oh... Please don't be one of those annoying holier-than-thou ones.... "I am Seth... Nice to meet you Michael." I guess this one isn't so bad... "So Raphael is doing much better now? That's good to hear. Hopefully he'll be better in time for the party."

[Nuridia]

Aurelia smiled. "Thanks John." "I may find it sooner than I think." she said, smiling at him. Downstairs, Michael nodded. "Nice to meet you too Seth." "Oh yes, he's recovering real quick." "And may I say, Marie's helping him along quite a bit." Mira smiled. "That's great, nice to meet you Michael." "May I ask, why aren't you with your brother?" The blond angel sighed. "He's fine and he thanked me for my help, then politely asked me to leave for a while." "Why's that?" Mira asked. Michael sighed again. Let's just say Raphael and Marie are in the middle of something right now and my assistance isn't required at the moment." Mira turned bright red after she figured out what Michael was saying. "Oh, I see." "At least he's better."

[New Cinoth]

Seth listened to Mira and Micheal's exchange with growing amusement. As soon as Michael started Seth immediately understood what he was talking about it. Mira, apparently, didn't. He couldn't help but grin to himself at her innocence. She's such a sweet and innocent girl.... He frowned, It makes me feel kinda guilty for liking her because I'm not entirely that good of a person. Maybe this isn't such a good idea... Well it might be... I guess Only time will tell. When Mira finally understood Seth couldn't contain himself anymore. He burst out laughing, "Mira... You are honestly the sweetest and most innocent girl I have ever seen."

[Tomia]

John smiled back "Ya maybe you will." He looked at Asteria sleeping and a thought came to his mind. "So what are we going to do about Asteria? Do you want to hide our relationship from her for now? Or should we tell her?" John had been thinking about that a lot. He really liked Asteria but was worried she wouldn't accept him. He had never dated a girl with a daughter before and wasn't sure how to handle it.

[Nuridia]

Mira turned brighter when Seth laughed at her. "I'm not that innocent Seth, I know what sex is I've just never had it!" "It's just that the double entendre was hard to understand that's all." "Well if you're kept mostly ignorant of the ways of the world until fairly recently then you'd be as innocent as I am too." Mira was slightly amused but mostly embarrassed, she knew she was a bit naive when it came to sexuality and hated when it was pointed out. "I know I don't have much experience when it comes to sensual matters but that's to be expected of a virgin." Mira pointed out, somewhat indignantly. Michael laughed and spoke to Seth. "Besides, the innocent are more fun to corrupt am I correct?" he said jokingly. Meanwhile, Aurelia turned to John in her room and shook her head. "The sooner we tell her, the smoother her transition will be." "I want to make this as easy on her as possible."

[New Cinoth]

Seth sighed, "Sorry about that. It's just I've been raised and taught by demons. So you are kinda like a fresh breath of air to me. Sorry if I made you feel bad." Seth hoped he hadn't offended Mira, "If it makes you feel better I'm still a virgin too. I've just been waiting for the right person." Seth grinned,I'm still one but I had all sorts of things drilled into my head by my father and tutors.... I guess that's the life of a corruption demon. His eyes widened slightly at Michael's words, "Now I certainly would never think I would hear that out of an angel's mouth. But it is true. The cute, innocent ones are always the absolute best."
