Carceno wrote:Alexander de Luna stood at the gate to the Akademia, taking in the majesty of the Nalayan college's architecture. It was declicate, fragile even, yet it was ruggedly carved into the mountain. Spectacular. Majestic. And nothing like his homeland, Carceno. The mere thought of his homeland brought doubts. "Why was I chosen to come here? Should I be so far from home?" He recalled his nation's motto; "The world offers much." He wondered what Nalaya would have to offer him.
He shivered from the mountain cold, shoving his hands into the pockets of his longcoat. Looking around, he saw several Nalayan soldiers. He had several friends in the Carcenoan military, but they seemed more...laid back then these black-clothed soldiers.
Alexander noticed another student walk past him, carrying a music case along with his other items. Having nothing else to do but wait for instructions, he picked up his suitcase and followed the man inside.

"You must be our newcomers," she said, offering them a small smile. She had the stiffness of a Nalayan trying not to offend a foreigner: that would relax with time, as they were integrated into the Akademia. "I am Serzhant Mina Petrosian, your guide for this morning, at least until you get settled in and learn where your classes are." She was not unfriendly, a fair-skinned girl in the green fatigues of the Nalayan military with a white shirt underneath. Her eyes were pale compared to most in Nalaya (blue was a very rare color), but her hair was still dark.

Menassa wrote:"Oh but Eli what If I don't like it?" Tzipporah asked the High Priest who was sitting opposite her at the table in the palace. Tzipporah felt worried about going to a new school and meeting all new people.
"Believe me Princess I think you will do just fine at the new school, it was always in your character to do so, I believe you will excel beyond the le of intellectual level of most people," The High Priest said smiling at Tzipporah with his blue eyes glinting in the light of the room.
"Thank you Eli," Tzipporah ended by hugging the High Priest and heading out the room. Waiting for the princess as she walked downstairs were: her school bags and a opened car and a few slaves to accompany her. "Alright let's get this over with then," Tzipporah said getting into the car. Twelve while later she boarded a plane and was off to her new life in Nalaya.
About four hours after the plane took off she landed in Nalaya and headed straight for the school, she had already been here before and recognized some things about the city. When she arrived at the school she waited for some assistance with her many, many things.

Nalaya wrote:"Don't worry, I will try not to leave anyone behind," Mina said pleasantly as she started to lead the way to their dorms. "Cornet Weber, I'll have one of the others see your horse to the stable, but the care of your animals is your responsibility. Your bird can stay with you, of course."
The halls of the Akademia were definitely of Nalayan style, often opening up onto internal courtyards. Delicate arches blended with the walls, many bearing inscriptions or murals, to support the weight of what must have been an entire mountain. Their dorm room was deep in the Akademia, cut into the rock itself, with few windows to the outside. Those skylights that they had were quite distant, set into long shafts leading up into the sky. There was a main room with a few large, low tables and cushions to sit on, as well as numerous oil lamps to illuminate the place at night. The area was surprisingly warm for a place with no apparemt central heating.
The floor was technically stone, but several layers of overlapping rugs gave it a much more comfortable softness. Most of the walls were obscured by books, most text books and reference material for class. However, there were large empty sections for their personal reading choices.
"The baths are through there," Mina said, indicating an archway closed off with a dark curtain. "They draw their heat from the earth, as this whole place does. From winter to summer, you can expect the Akademia to be constantly about seventy degrees. "Through those double doors across the room is your sleeping area of the dorm. You all have a bed given to you by name and a footlocker. You can trade amongst yourselves if you wish, I do not mind. Once I get sizes from each of you, I'll go see the Zenk' Varpet and get you uniforms. They'll have your unit patches and a few other things, but for foreign students the regulations are much more relaxed."
She gave them a smile. "Welcome home."

The only structures that were dug into mountains in Aquitayne were Top Secret military compounds. The kind you don't want to go to if you're not staff. He looked around at the other students, and had some questions for their host. "Excuse me as well, I just have a couple of questions. Will I be permitted to wear my ribbons? Also, are we sharing rooms or are we given our own dorms?"
