The goddess of springtime was setting-up her office for the day when she heardThana Azazel’s greeting to the world outside. She knew where Vietnam was, but she did not understand why he was telling Vietnam, “Good morning!” As she checked the supplies in her office and counted the jars of herbs and essential oils, she paused and wondered about what kind of student Azazel might be. She knew he was not the most respectful character, hence why he was being assigned to her as her student. “Good morning! I haven’t been to Vietnam before I don’t think. But I’ve heard their food is quite good! Would you like a muffin?”
At this point she pointed toward a basket of blueberry muffins, freshly-baked and smelling divine. She was quite happy to have only a small group of students, as she could give more personalized advice. She figured that Azazel might need it, given his attitude. “...Remind me again what your attribute was?...I was counting all these jars and I forgot to...um...I forgot what it was,” she answered. She thought it was ‘respect’ or ‘wisdom’, but she was not sure. She also turned to Otohime, cheerfully offering her muffins while trying to remember her attribute as well. “I also have some coffee and some tea! Would you like one or the other to start today? Or I can make both! A happy classroom is a productive classroom, after all!”
Thana
Thana was glad to see that at least two of his students were cheerful, early-risers. He was glad to have them in his class, as small as it was. He of course figured Xavier might be a little spooked by him, given his dark appearance, but Kimiko did not seem to mind at all. Small and eager, he had heard about her cleverness and her reliability working with Hamiri, and so he hoped she would develop into a bright student. “I am glad to see you are both ready to face the day. We are waiting for our last student, however...I would not like to start class with a missing student, for my lessons will be important for you.”
In came Death a few moments later, calmly and nonchalantly approaching the rest of the group. Unlike Xavier, who seemed a little wary of her-as Michael had been the day before-Thana was pleased to see her, as he was with all of his students. When she asked about his lesson, he nodded to the group of them. “Your first lesson will be a team exercise. A difficult one, but one I believe you can accomplish together,” he explained. He then led the group outside, to the far-eastern end of the island. Up by the waterfall was the tall, mighty cavern wall. One could fly to the top easily, but Thana knew better than to allow such shortcuts.
“The three of you will be climbing this cavern wall. You will reach the top together, scaling it without the use of any flying powers, or any powers which can be manipulated to cause flight.” He faced the group, and then looked up at the wall. “Along the way, you will encounter...obstacles. I will not tell you what they are. You have three hours to get to the top. Do you have any questions?”
Xavier raised his hand. “...What sorts of obstacles should we prepare for?” he inquired.
“Any and every obstacle. Life does not announce what you shall face in ten seconds. But do not worry. This task is within your ability to complete. Do you have any other questions?” He looked to both Death and Kimiko.

The sound of blinds being slightly parted would be heard within the almost empty room. Between the gap and behind the window hide two golden eyes filled with spite as they stare at the rising sun. The clock rings within the room, making the figure grunt and turn towards the door. Garbed in silk and linen, adorned by gold, sapphires and rubies, Apophis marches out disatisfied. Monstrous beings, as if marble carved into hideous forms of man and snake meshed together, rose from his shadow to lift two items that resemble umbrellas. These two creatures would remind anyone of the Hecatoncheires but rather than heads and arms it was snake and human parts.
The sun's shine seem to even darken at the presence of the God of Chaos, never forgetting the fear of its Lord against his mortal enemy. The sound of metal to stone would ring at every step as Apophis' staff would hit the floor. Today is another day to be spent with doing what children do: learning. Never has Apophis thought that he will be held captive by these upstart youngsters and force him with education. A snake, red and vibrant with its scales, flew up ahead with two feathered wings. It first circled above Apophis before guiding him towards an open field, the courtyard, where the resident drunkard and resident prudent awaits.
The two grotesque umbrella holding monsters drove what they were holding down the earth and they slithered back to Apophis' shadow along with the flying snake guide. Apophis stood underneath the shade, irritatedly tapping his staff on the ground. The grass where his staff is hitting is slowly decaying every passing second. He stood there, staring disapprovingly at Michael and Hyperion.

“What he said wasn’t that funny,” Michael said to Hyperion, as the former was laughing at the reference Azazel had made while entering Persephone’s office. The sun god was bellowing with laughter, while the archangel shook his head and looked over his clipboard. At least Hyperion did not smell too badly of alcohol this morning. Maybe he had actually remembered to try and cover the smell this time, maybe with some aftershave. When Hamiri and Patriah both came over, neither of them seemed to notice the smell. “Good morning, kids!”
“Hello, good to see you,” Hamiri spoke, smiling. She gave a look to Hyperion as he wiped a tear from his eye. He was odd for a teacher-she did not remember many teachers from her world being so laidback and...wild. Most of her own teacherrs were straight-laced and calm. She wondered what sort of lesson they were going to give her. As she was thinking, Patriah arrived nearby, looking about as unenthusiastic as ever about coming to a class. “It’ll be worth it, I’m sure,” she assured him.
Patriah only gave a rough grumble. He wanted to get breakfast and then to go back to bed. After having failed his test and having caused his teammate to get disqualified during said test, he had no desire to go back to a class and to make more costly mistakes. However, as he was grumbling underneath his breath, he noticed that another student had arrived, the third student in Hyperion and Michael’s group. He shuddered, and so did Hamiri, as they recognized Apophis. With an umbrella made of snakes and a glare made to kill, both knew that he would not make a very cooperative or fun teammate.
Michael was aware of this possibility, and had not been too pleased to swap with Osiris for Apophis. However, Hera and Zeus had insisted this decision was best for the school. When Apophis marched over, decorated with gems on his clothing and with his hissing umbrella, he gave the same smile he gave to the other students. “How did you sleep last night? Ready for the lesson today?” he inquired.

Apophis
A grumbling, hissing voice escape from Apophis' mouth as the archangel before him asked of his nightly affair. "I do not sleep nor do I have the need to do so." Indeed, as one of the Lords of the Hours of the Night, Apophis presides over one of the nightly hours and a segment of the Underworld. The immortal being has no need of sleep nor rest and, in his eternal struggle against Ra, only the nightly bindings of Isis and the protectors of Ra could give him a couple hours of rest.
The Snake God looked towards the two younger entities that joined the class. Both seem to be magical of nature however the woman seem to walked the path of a swordswoman while the man primarily a mage. "Magi. Magicians. You children remind me of the good old days. Keep that up." The God laughed softly, making him seem suspicious. It was almost uncomfortable for such a compliment to come from a dark God. His golden eyes returned to Michael and the archangel could feel evil hiding behind the gleam and shine, a greater evil than the demons they have banished during Lucifer's rebellion. "Say angel, what will we be doing here? Combat?"

Michael gave Apophis a long look as he felt the primordial evil that radiated from this being. Looking back down toward his clipboard, he re-noted the attributes they needed to develop. Hamiri had self-confidence, Patriah had patience, and Apophis...had justice. A god of evil needing to learn justice...This is going to be a long year...unless we do something rather drastic... His eyes flickered back to the students, and then he looked at Hyperion. “...Well, combat will be a part of today’s exercise. It will not be the entire exercise, but I think you’ll be...curious once you hear what we’ve planned,” he explained.
Hyperion decided to elaborate after he finally stopped giggling. “...Alright! So you three are all pretty good fighters from what we saw yesterday. That’s right...” He looked over at Apophis and smirked knowingly. “I saw that snake-trick you did with Xavier. Pretty slick, I didn’t say anything because you weren’t using tear gas in the-” Michael reminded him to keep on topic with a light cough, and then the sun god continued. “Yes, we will be sparring today! It’ll be a three-way brawl, but with a catch.” He walked over to three, and clipped a tag to an ear on each student.
“...Huh?...Hey wait a minute! We’re not cattle! What is this?!” Patriah demanded, stepping back for a second before Hyperion grabbed his arm and stuck the clip on his ear. He could not see the tag, which made him more annoyed. Then he could not help but feel anxious around Apophis. He hoped this lesson would be quick, whatever it was.
“Each of your clips has a particular spell that you can use once per combat. However, we’re not going to tell you what that spell is,” Hyperion explained. He then nodded back to Michael, who looked up and added to his explanation. “This match will not be timed. It will go until one or two of you are knocked unconscious. Of course, once again, unconscious does not mean ‘coma’. You can knock someone out without trying to kill them, if you’re creative enough. Now...we’ll head to the beach, and I want to see each of you use the tag at least once. There’s a twist to the spells as well, but we’ll explain that once you get there.”
Hamiri frowned. A battle with Apophis, right off the bat? Patriah looked more excited than she did. She knew that Apophis, as a god, was more skilled with Magic than either of them. At the same time, however, given her attribute, she knew she needed to be confident in herself. She could hold a fight against this evil deity. As Hyperion finished talking, she drew her sword and got into position. Patriah did the same, and as they eyed each other, she had an idea. We need to attack Apophis together and take him down, then the two of us can fight each other to know the winner. That’s the only way we can handle this fight without ending-up severely hurt...
Patriah gave her a smirk in return. He was indeed excited at the idea of fighting Apophis, and as Michael and Hyperion moved to allow the students to get into their positions, he stood away from both Hamiri and Apophis. “...Any rules for powers we can use?!” he called to Hyperion.
“No attempted murder!” the sun god repeated.
Michael nodded in agreement, and looked at the group. “Any other questions before we start?” Hamiri and Patriah both shook their heads, so he looked to Apophis.

Luminesa wrote:Apophis’s evil aura grew stronger as the fight drew to its start. Michael watched the three combatants with a stoic face, ready to take notes about their progress. Hyperion, on the other hand, pulled a beer out from somewhere and held it in one hand. The archangel gave him a look, but then he simply rolled his eyes and decided to let him do what he wanted for now. “Whenever you kids want to start, feel free!” he called.
Hamiri twirled her sword, and gave another glance to Apophis. His taunt toward her was quite cold and condescending, but she had experienced far worse than a god of evil taunting her. Since Apophis had not yet fought her, she decided to hide her Magic for now, and to focus on wearing him down. “...Sure. I guess I can start...” With her leg healed from the day before, springing forward with her sword caused her little to no pain. A frontal assault might not be the best option, but she could focus on finding his blind-spot. She rushed toward him with her black blade, ready to cut across his face.
Patriah, on the other hand, decided to use his tag almost immediately. He trusted his Magic, but given Apophis’s power and sheer malice, he knew he would need a boost. When he pulled the tag off his ear, the spell activated, and a ring of bright-gold light floated around his body. The ring then molded around him, and he found himself covered in gold armor, fitted with huge, mechanical-looking, silver wings, a helmet with a “unicorn” horn, a diamond-brimmed visor, and a diamond sword. “...THIS IS THE BEST POWER-UP EVER!!!” he shouted. Trying to see if he could maneuver the armor, he jumped into the air and found that the wings seemed to power themselves. If he wanted to move forward, the wings flew him forward. He held his sword ready, and then flew to dive-bomb on Apophis. “I’LL CUT YOU INTO A PAIR OF BOOTS YOU SNAKESKIN FREAK!!!!” he screamed.
As they started, Michael eyed Hyperion as Patriah activated his tag. Hyperion nodded to him and took a swig of his beer-a lime-flavored Corona-and the archangel took notes. He had expected for Patriah to be impatient, but now he wanted to see how using the armor would affect his combat. In the meantime, Apophis and Hamiri were about to collide.

Apophis
And thus the fight began. Apophis' stance was extremely lax with his staff by his side, lightly held by his fingers, and his other hand placed carefreely on his hips. "Show me the extent of your brillance, Magi!" He watched as the swordswoman in front of her dashed towards him in a reckless charge, seemingly an obvious and immediate distraction for her partner to do something big at the get go. Indeed the giant boy made his move, to activate the one use item given to them to grant them an edge in battle. With his new powered suit and set of glimmering, yet clunky in Apophis' opinion, wings, he joined the battle by attacking by air. The diversion of humanoid attention through the y-axis is incredibly useful as a human shaped body can't handle quick movements in the y-axis.
However, Apophis' counter attack didn't make sense. His body moved unnaturally, twisting in a way that no human should ever be able to, as he used the crook of his staff to catch Hamiri's slash. Now with her blade trapped with the hook, Apophis' supernatural might and flexibility turned him into a catapult, one that threw Hamiri at extreme speeds towards the waters behind the evil God. He didn't forget the flying juggernaut above too as the wind pressure created by his swing affected his flight, directing his divebomb towards where Hamiri made her splash. The God of Chaos smirked at the results and swiftly made a gesture where his pointer finger pointed towards the skies and savagely drew and threw down a red lightning bolt down the waters. "How creative. As if I've never seen that tactic before in my life."

"How creative. As if I've never seen that tactic before in my life."
Apophis's body moved unnaturally, almost like the snakes he controlled. Before she could stop her attack, Hamiri was caught in a counter-attack, a parry which caused her sword to get caught in his crook. She moved to defend herself, but before she could move her arms in front of herself, she felt her body fly toward the water. With a splash she landed just past the shore, and took a moment to come back to the surface. Her sword landed on the shoreline, and immediately she realized she was at a disadvantage. She needed to get her sword, but even worse, she needed to now figure-out how he moved. She decided to use her own magic for now, and as she swam to the beach, stars began to appear in the morning sky, high above the rest of the group. The sky darkened a little as well...
"Oh come on, what do you kids have against sunlight? It's good for you and it helps you grow!" Hyperion commented as he sensed Night Magic around him. Of course, as he took another sip of his beer and made a loud, obnoxious belch, he muttered differently under his breath. "...Oh gods, my head is pounding. Please, by all means, turn off the sun..." At that point, Michael snatched the beer out of his hand. He went to protest, but the archangel did not look toward him. Instead he watched the fight on the battlefield.
"Heheheh...you wanna see brilliance? YOU GOT IT!" Patriah called. He held his sword toward the sky, and lightning crashed down toward the earth over Apophis's head. Michael looked ready to jump into the fight already, but he paused. He waited, starting toward the sky to see how Apophis would respond. After all, once the first streak fell, more would fall as well.

Kimiko
"I don't have any," she looked up at the waterfall and took note of each piece of rock, patch of foliage, and stray branch that could be used as a foothold. She knew she could easily climb up there on her own, but she wasn't certain about her classmates. She gave both of them a glance over and readied herself to jump to the first foothold in her chosen path, it was a stray branch that sat a solid eight feet above ground level. Kimiko spoke to her classmates without looking back, "I can jump up onto a stable place and help you two to climb up if you are unable to," her ears changed angle and faced behind her slightly as she awaited a response.

Patriah ate at least five plates of every food from his world which he could name-recipes he had to describe to Hestia, for her to cook them, which caused everyone else to have to wait a couple minutes while he described them. Nevertheless, because the goddess of the hearth worked quickly, nobody was left to grumble for long. Everyone had different plans for their money and their rings, while the teachers had plans for all of the new students.
The next day came, and with everyone recuperated, lessons could officially begin. When everyone awakened and looked outside their doors, they would find a note on the ground. Groups of the students had been placed together based on the traits which they had been given. Otohime, Razorclaw, and Azazel were to go see Persephone. Hamiri, Patriah, and Hermes were to go to Michael and Hyperion. Nyarlathetop and Apophis were to go to Osiris. Xavier, Kimiko, and Death were to see Thana.
When Patriah had slumped out of bed and had found his note, he was confused. He was being personally requested to go see Michael and Hyperion, and was being told this was a part of his lesson. When the reality hit him, he groaned. “...This is about yesterday’s stupid test. Lovely...Probably just gonna tell me I failed and then I’ll tell him what I think...” he muttered, as he pulled a pair of pants over his shorts and grabbed his bag. Looking at his pants, he did realize the patches on the knees were falling apart. Maybe Hamiri was right about me needing new clothes... he thought grimly. He then headed out to the courtyard.
Hamiri was there before Patriah, and she stood waiting for her other classmates to arrive. She had also been summoned to see Michael and Hyperion, but she did not know what to expect. Apparently the teachers had plans for all the students, and Kimiko had not gotten a similar note. She wondered what sorts of lessons all the students would receive. ...What do I need to learn about trust?...I’m so confused. I trust the right people, and I distrust those who need to earn my trust...What have I done wrong?... she wondered.
Xavier went to Thana’s office, wondering why he had been summoned himself. He had not done anything wrong, and he mused in his mind that the second day of school was a little early to be sent to the vice-principal’s office. He knocked on the door, and heard no sound on the other side. “...Hello?...Anyone there?” he muttered. He knocked again. Still no answer. With a frown, he wondered if Thana was elsewhere. He turned around, and he jumped back a little. Thana had appeared, dressed all in black and looking as ethereal and mysterious as usual.
“...Good morning, Xavier! How are you?” Thana questioned cheerfully, as though nothing had happened.
“...Oh! I slept fine, and I feel good this morning, thank you. Where are the other students?...” he inquired.
“Oh, they should be coming soon. Did I scare you?” the professor inquired.
Xavier shook his head and chuckled. “I just didn’t expect to see you there. Is this about yesterday’s lesson?”
Thana nodded. “Yes, all of your classmates are being grouped to get their close lessons with their mentors. I will be your mentor, as well as Death and Kimiko’s mentors. I believe we will have a very productive year,” he explained, with a knowing smile.
Kimiko
Kimiko woke up and saw the letter with instructions telling her to go meet Thana. She knew that it had something to do with yesterday's trial and was rather excited to see what was in store. She took her time ti get ready, grooming her tail to perfection and picking out the best outfit for today. She chose to wear a black and deep blue school outfit, she brushed her teeth and departed to meet her Instructor.
Upon arrival she saw Thana and Xavier, she waved her hand back and forth with a bright smile in her face, "Good morning!" Normally in the mornings she would be groggy and slow, but the promise of knowledge and progress gave her energy. She stood next to Xavier and Thana, both of them were taller than her so she was forced to look up at them. She awaited the orders of her Instructor, willing to complete any task to further herself.
Nyarlathotep
Nyaru had claimed a dorm the previous day, she wanted to be alone in her dorm so she had waited that extra day. She awoke to find the notice and was astonished to see that she was supposed to meet with Osiris. She didn't argue with the request and began to prepare herself for the meeting. She took off the jacket that she wore during the meeting in the infirmary, the wound had fully healed but she could not say the same for her favorite dress. Maybe she could take it to either Hestia or Persephone later in the day, "Either one of them could fix it, I believe," she spoke aloud to herself as she took the dress off. She hadn't brought many outfits with her so she was left with three choices, swimwear, jeans and a t-shirt, or she could take on her masculine form. Nyaru wanted to remain recognizable so she choose the jeans and shirt.
She left her dorm and began heading to meet Osiris, she didn't know the place all that well but she managed to find it rather quickly. She walked into the room and saw Osiris, "Good morning Osiris." She spoke very casually even though she held an air of formality in her mannerisms. "So when do we get started?" she was eager to finish her lesson and get her dress fixed.

Luminesa wrote:Using Night Magic was a bit of a mistake, Hamiri thought, as she saw Apophis grinning from ear-to-ear and shouting his title toward them. The sky got dark, giving both of them an advantage with Night Magic, but Apophis was more skilled than she. As she managed to climb out of the water and rushed to the shoreline, she saw the Chaos God grab a bolt of lightning in his hands. “PATRIAH LOOK-OUT!” she screamed, as she watched with horror as he threw the bolt back at her companion.
“Already on it!” he shouted, moving out of the way of the lightning as it nearly struck him. Even while he was protected by the holy armor, he could feel the pure writhing energy of the lightning grazing him, causing his body to pull far away in fear. “...How on earth?!...How does being a God of Night allow him to catch lightning?! Are we missing something here?!” He then looked below as he heard a scream.
Apophis had taken control of the water, and now it tried to drag Hamiri out away from the shoreline. It was a blood-red color, and crackled with lightning. Something horribly unnatural. Before she could get swept away, however, Hamiri unfolded her black raven’s wings and shot into the sky. She then flew overhead, past Apophis, and away from the direction of the monstrous typhoon. “Patriah! Hit him with something! I’ve got an idea, but you need to deal with him first!” She then began to concentrate her mind on something in the sky around her.
“I told you I’m on it!” Patriah responded by taking his sword and slashing it toward the earth. As he made the wide, swinging motion downward, dozens of slim, crackling streaks of holy lightning speared the earth repeatedly. They grazed the Chaos God and even brought down the typhoon, making every place Apophis walked a mine ready to electrocute him. Even the water now was unsafe. Yet before he tried to fire a lightning strike on Apophis again, this time he used his own Magic. He summoned his own sword this time, held it in his other hand, and then slashed them both so that they formed an ‘x’ in front of him. The lightning and wind came together, and a massive tornado surrounded Apophis. Lightning crashed within the tornado, and the huge maw of the whirlwind threatened to eat him alive. Even if he had not been directly hit, Apophis had been slashed by the hot lightning in several places. “I HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR SNAKES COOKED, CAUSE I’M SERVING YOURS TO YOU BURNT!!!” he threatened.

Death looks up the wall, poking and testing its stiffness. She nods, before placing one of her feet on it. She ponders, inspecting the wall in an odd fashion. After everyone starts climbing, she seemingly defies gravity. Her feet move up the wall as she seemingly begins walking up it as if she was on normal ground. Interestingly, her hair and jacket seem to be pointed straight down as if they were the only things on her body affected by gravity.Luminesa wrote:5pb wrote:Kimiko
"I don't have any," she looked up at the waterfall and took note of each piece of rock, patch of foliage, and stray branch that could be used as a foothold. She knew she could easily climb up there on her own, but she wasn't certain about her classmates. She gave both of them a glance over and readied herself to jump to the first foothold in her chosen path, it was a stray branch that sat a solid eight feet above ground level. Kimiko spoke to her classmates without looking back, "I can jump up onto a stable place and help you two to climb up if you are unable to," her ears changed angle and faced behind her slightly as she awaited a response.
“Sounds like a plan,” Xavier answered with a smile, “I can also move myself off the ground and then catch the two of you while you’re coming up. That could also be helpful.” He looked up at the cavern, and then stared with shock when he saw Thana standing right at the top. He had apparently moved while the group had been talking, and now they knew their challenge had begun. Xavier took his wheel-staff and he turned it a couple of notches. “Watch this,” he told Death and Kimiko. He held the staff toward the ground, and then a huge, crimson fireball exploded from under him.
As chunks of earth spewed around him, he flew into the air, and he whirled his staff so that it faced the wall. As he began to fall, he stabbed his spear into the rock, and hung-on tight. Looking below to his teammates, he called, “Climb up here and I’ll try to do that again! We’ll move up this way!” As he spoke, however, he noticed something rather frightening crawling out of some of the cracks in the rocks. First, one tiny, shadowy creature squeezed its way out of the rock, almost like a roach. Yet it was no roach.
With a body like a snake and wings like a hawk, these tiny creatures pulled themselves into the light of day, slithering on and off the rock. Some even fell like rain toward the earth, charging Kimiko and Death. Their eyes were red and they spat tiny sparks of flame. One of these would have been easily defeatable, but the amount of them seemed endless. Hundreds covered the cavern wall, painting it black with their shadowy forms, and some even tried to grab for Xavier’s staff. “Uh oh...So this is...what Thana was talking about?!” he muttered to himself. He began trying to push and to kick them off, shooting fireballs at them with a free hand as well. “Guys, we have to move quickly!” he called below.

Luminesa wrote:"He summoned a dragon?!" Hyperion shouted. He turned and stared at Michael, who was perturbed. He held the pen in his hand neck to his lip, thinking hard. Neither of the teachers knew quite how to react to the scale of this fight now. Now both of them wanted to stop the fight, but neither one knew which should take the first move. Hyperion could not even tell if Apophis had used his tag yet. "...Michael...what do you wanna do?" he muttered. When Michael did not respond, the two teachers could only continue observing.
Patriah braced himself for the new dragon's attack, even as he crashed to the ground on his back. Holding back the clawed attack with his own claws, the two pairs of claws fought back and forth, pushing to try and keep one from slashing into the other. The other dragon was terrifying, however. Almost demonic, its black scales gleamed in the chaotic atmosphere. Its four wings looked unnatural, just like the body of its summoner. The Wind Mage knew he had to act quickly, given that he now had to kill this dragon and then reach the death ray. GET OFF YOU GIANT FREAK!! Patriah roared, as he fired a blazing green flame, almost like a long stream of ignited crystal, into the face of the other dragon.
Hamiri steeled herself as she saw the imminent duel. Gathering the Night Magic around her, she held her trusted Witchblade in front of her, glistening as dark as the night sky around them. Despite losing her trap, she knew a one-on-one fight was her best chance right now. Tricks would not work on a god who thrived on tricks. She needed to be faster than a god, an impossible feat. If she could just keep-up, however, maybe she could find an opening. "...Let's go," she muttered. She rushed him for a forward assault again, but this time she jumped over his head, doing a flip in the air. When she came down, she slashed down toward his head. Knowing he could blast her into the sky, she created a shield out of the Night Magic around her, and held it at her elbow.
