His mind raced. Kyle stared blankly at the ceiling, eyes still bleary with sleep. He'd been given a few moments of blissful ignorance before the events of the day prior came flooding back to him, wreaking havoc on the quiet of his morning. Thankfully he'd fallen asleep rather easily last night- he had worried he'd toss and turn with all that there was to process, but it seemed his mind had finally had enough, instead welcoming the peaceful void of sleep. His dreams had been quick and fleeting, already running from his memory as he breathed in the cool air. But... It attached itself to you. That's what Headmaster Ilia had said. To me. To me? His hand slipped up to rest on his forehead, palm warm from where it had been tucked under his side beneath the blankets. To him. He hadn't really known what to say, under the falling night when Ilia had broken the news to him. Maybe he'd stammered something, dumbstruck and awkward, mouth hung open. Kyle had only been able to nod then, as the Headmaster had finished speaking and sent him to bed. He'd wondered when it would finally come crashing down, brain catching up with the world as Ilia's words registered. "..Holy shit," Kyle whispered, breaking the silence. Not in a bad way- definitely not. Though.. to be honest, he wasn't sure what he was feeling, precisely. Yes, there was a storm of something swirling under his skin, crackling and sizzling until he started to shift with a sharp restlessness. He felt a certain apprehension as he prodded at the whirlwind, attempting to decipher it. Excitement. That one made sense. Relief. He supposed that one made sense too. ...Fear ..less sense. This is what he'd wanted, right? Deep down- well actually, not that deep. Just sitting at the corner of his mind, despite his reluctance to look at it and admit the sour feeling of jealousy to himself. So, what was there to be scared of? Literally everything. His eyes squeezed shut and he groaned softly. Throwing off the covers, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, scratching his head through his mess of hair. Might as well get the day started. He knew what his answer for Ilia would be at least, that much felt clear. He most definitely wasn't going anywhere- especially now. Kyle, a dragon rider. ..Eventually. -- The breeze held a chill to it, and Kyle shivered as he stepped outside, rubbing his arm through his sleeve. It wasn't the most insulated wear he owned, but he figured just moving around plenty would be enough to warm his bones against the crisp air. Casting a glance around the academy grounds, he suddenly felt unsure of what his objective should be this morning. In days past he would usually seek out Raymond- if the man hadn't found him first- or stop by the dining hall to lend Nikita a hand with whatever after scarfing down a quick breakfast. If he was to be a student however, he figured his daily routine would be due a pretty significant change. He gave his stomach a small pat- he wasn't really hungry, yet at least. Maybe for now, he would just appreciate the momentary solitude and go for a small walk. Clear his mind. Well, or the opposite, and do more.. thinking. Him, bonded to a dragon. Kyle stuffed his hands into his pockets, gaze tilting towards the sky as rays of sun spilled over it, illuminating the clouds in a gently beautiful display of color. He found himself wandering closer to the Cavern and paused, frowning. He peered across the grass towards its grand entrance, a curious thought arising. If he was truly bonded to one of the unhatched wyverns.. could he.. feel it? What would it even feel like? His brows furrowed further as he squinted, staring down the darkness as if waiting for something. Huh. |

They opened the dorm door, watching Nikita go to another student's room. The halls still felt cramped to them, but in the light they weren't too bad. They quietly moved downstairs. They took a second to admire the architecture that had gone unnoticed the day before. They stretched, they hadn't gotten much sleep, not that it was an unusual occurrence. With a final glance behind them, they exited the dorm. - The morning air was crisp, and sharp in Aybis's lungs. They saw a figure not too far from them, the stablehand? He was gazing at the caverns, seemingly lost in thought. Should I introduce myself? Would they be upset I interrupted their thought? Aybis concluded that the best thing would be to acknowledge him, if he wanted to interact it'd be on his terms. They waved, catching the other person's attention ever so slightly, before moving about the courtyard area. Suddenly they looked up at the headmaster, just now seeing the older woman watching them. She asked something about leaving. Aybis simply shook their head. They had no desire to leave this place, not yet. Accidents happen, and leaving seemed far more dangerous then staying put. They continued inspecting the different aspects of the area. No harm in a little exploration... |

 Caisin Caisin sat in the lower level of the dorms, in the small kitchen area. Exploring it this morning revealed that it was only filled with the basics, enough food for rudimentary meals, snacks and drinks. He figured as much, that all the main meals would be served in the dining hall. He had found some tea leaves though, and gotten hot water; enough for now. Caisin had woken up early, and had been too restless to go back to bed, or even stay cooped up in his room. Always having things to do outside, and growing up in a small house, he found he didn't care for small spaces. Sitting at a small table in the corner, he heard the same lady from yesterday come knocking on all the doors again. She peeked her head inside the room he was tucked away in, but only briefly and he didn't think she saw him. Letting her make her way upstairs to wake the others, slowly sipping on the steeping tea, he thought back to last night- particularly his dream. He was in the middle of an intense blizzard, the trees so lost in the blinding white, they were no more than shadowy skeletons surrounding him. He couldn't tell what time of day it was, couldn't even see more than a few feet in front of him. The freezing wind lashing and tearing at his cloak, his hand raised to block the snowflakes blowing furiously against his face. His eyes stinging from the snow, the harsh breeze constantly pulling and tugging at him, threatening to pull him down. Yet oddly, he was at ease… Maybe because he knew it was just a dream, or he didn't care. That's when the wind died down. The sharp wailing and whistling of the wind slowing to a gentle flutter. He stood up straighter, brushing off his black cloak from all the clinging snow. (Where did he even get that?) the calming storm gave him an opportunity to look around now. The landscape so drastically changed from the intense snow was mesmerizing to watch. The snowflakes still fell gracefully, the cold, gentle wind making the snow jump and dance in so many different ways. The trees trunks coated in snow, their limbs covered in icicles, glittering and tinkling, making them look alive. The wind still blew, and the snow still fell but the cold didnt seem to bother him here, instead he felt comforted, relaxed. He took a tentative step forward, wanting to explore this new land further. The shining, sparkling snow crunched under his feet, but he only made it a few steps when a thundering boom shook the ground, sending him to his knees. Still untouched with rational emotion in this dreamworld, only his curiosity at finding the sound was sparked. Still on his knees, he could feel many more smaller tremors coursing through the earth. footsteps? He wondered. Peering at the blanket of white in front of him, squinting to make out details, he saw a grey shadow detach itself. At first it was a grey mass with no distinguishable features, but as it came closer, the tremors grew stronger, the grey grew darker, and the thing got bigger. The snow seemed to still, the once dancing snowflakes no longer worrying about their swirls and giddies, falling quietly to the ground. The grey shadow in front of him stopped moving, and instead seemed to be looking at him. A single intense blue eye clearing from the fog, evaluating him with calculated intelligence. Several thoughts that didn't seem like his own, running through his mind. Fear, anger, confusion, Hurt? Caisin had started up onto his feet, thats when the shadow suddenly threw its head back, opening its jaw and letting out a loud screech. He gripped his head in pain as he fell to the ground again, crouching down. The scream felt like it was stabbing him in the ears, the branches shaking, the disturbed snow falling, Caisin gritting his teeth in pain, and he wondered if it would ever stop. And it did. He opened his eyes to look down into the mug he was drinking. The memory so vivid, he had been reliving it in its smallest detail. It left him more confused than anything. Yet another thing to try and figure out. He almost felt sad thinking about it. a weird emotion to a dream like that. He thought as he watched the small leaves in his drink swirling around in circles. That's when he looked up as he heard the door open. Someone was coming in. |

The woman woke up slowly, stretching her arms. She laid in bed for about 20 more minutes, thinking over the events of last night. She was still angry about the student, but less so at the headmasters, and more at the person that killed the poor kid. She took a deep breath, getting up to go about her day. She slid her leather pants, blouse, and corset on before exiting her room at the sound of Nikita waking everyone up. Evangeline walked down the stairs, opening the door to the dorm kitchen. She felt her heart almost jump out of her chest as she noticed there was someone in the kitchen already, "Oh- Gods, I'm sorry I didn't know anyone was in here." She apologized, edging her way into the room. She moved around the kitchen slowly, careful to stay out of Caisin's way as well as out of his reach. She stayed silent as she made her coffee, trying force herself to feel as though he wasn't watching her. Unfortunately, even if he wasn't, all of her fight or flight senses were going off. She stayed tense as she moved, eventually settling down in a chair across the room to drink the rejuvenating drink. At home, she was never allowed to drink coffee because it 'cost too much to be wasted on a worthless little kid'. It was so good, the bitter taste dancing across her tongue along with the sugar and cream created a symphony of flavors. She knew she'd be addicted to this stuff for a long while yet. |

Caisin It was Evangeline that walked in. That was her name right? Caisin had heard it mentioned yesterday, but he had yet to talk to her still. He watched her go about her business in the kitchen, eying her out of the corner of his eye. Her movements seemed jerky and stiff as she made her drink. Was she nervous? Upset about something perhaps? Or is she always like this? He shrugged mentally, he wasn't exactly in a pleasant mood either this morning. With a brisk pace, she quickly sat down in the corner of the kitchen; Caisin in turn, returned to focusing on his own drink. Reaching over the counter to top it off with more hot water and tea leaves. They stayed in silence for a little while, each quietly sipping on their own drinks, before Caisin returned his attention to her. Maybe shes just uncomfortable being near strangers. He figured. Noticing she seemed a little more at ease with her drink, he cleared his throat before shifting on the stool, turning toward her direction slightly. "So, your Evangeline right? Hi, I'm Caisin." He stated simply. Probably not the best way to start a conversation, he thought to himself but his mind was still elsewhere that morning, and it seemed like a simple and quick way to start up small talk. |

A flash of movement from the corner of his eye caught Kyle's attention, pulling him away from the vast cavern opening. His head swiveled around to look, gaze landing on one of the students- one of his fellow students, his heart skipped at the fleeting thought- waving at him. He lifted his hand to the air in response, curiosity sparking. Kyle had yet to properly meet this one. They seemed the quiet sort, from what he recalled of yesterday's activities. Maybe he should introduce himself? Especially now, if he was going to be a proper student at the academy it would probably benefit him to get to know his new peers. Maybe he could ask them about.. their own bonds. He made to move towards the other student, when a booming CLAP reverberated through the valley, twice before a magnificent roar followed suit, like thunder rolling out amidst a storm. Though he'd loathe to admit it, the sound startled him so bad he jumped nearly a foot into the air, whirling around to see the source of the noise. It was Neha, of course. Kyle stared at her, then tore his gaze away to look up as an answering roar and a whoosh of air signaled Kyrena's arrival. Ah right, just the dragons being, well, dragons. Kyle couldn't help but let out a breathy laugh, smoothing down his tunic as a rush of embarrassment reddened his face. He cleared his throat, glancing around the area again. He caught a glimpse of Headmaster Ilia at the dorm's entrance, likely there to greet the students on the new day. And, he supposed, offer any of them an out if they wanted to leave. Kyle started towards her- he still needed to confirm that he was staying, now was probably as good a time as any. Then he would have to gather his- admittedly meager- belongings to officially move into the dorms before the end of the day. The student from earlier, who had waved to him, seemed to be exploring the academy grounds. Kyle decided he would likely have a chance to introduce himself in class, if not earlier. Hadn't Ilia said those were starting today? He puffed out a breath, mind suddenly flooded with scattered thoughts on what they might consist of. Hopefully not too much… reading. Well.. he'd worry about that when it came to it. |
