The lady of De Armas house paced back and forth in front of her husband as he leaned against his desk. "She shows promise in potions and such." He said as his wife continued to pace. "Sebastian, potions are a simple task. If a witch does not possess a gift than they might as well not be a witch at all. The goddess Hecate blesses her children with the gift. Simple potions and spells and Sabina might as well be just another mortal." The woman sighed as she collapsed on the chaise.]]]

[center [size12 [i "We will be the laughing stalk of the council. I can not take the humiliation." The council being the name of the coven that the De Armas family have been a part of for many years. They hoped that one of their children would finally be head of the council but now they had a daughter with no gift, the idea seemed fleeting. "Silas," the wife breathed a whisper. Her husband looked at her quizzable. "We can have Silas use his gift on her, make her forget all about this family, about this life. Tell the council she ran off with townie. They will show us sympathy and we can groom Silas to be the head. No reason for them to battle at the end of the school year."]]]

[center [size12 [i Sebastian was silent for a moment, fully considering it. A slight hesitation before nodding. "When Silas comes for dinner next week, we'll have him do it. We'll need to make the preparations, i will not throw her out on the street." Sabina clenched her fist as pushed herself off the wall outside of her father's office. She heard every word that was said. If they planned to erase her memory, than she would make sure she left with them forever remembering her.]]]

[center [font "times new roman" [i [b [u One Week Later]]]]]

[center [size12 [i The days had moved like molasses, but when the night came for the family dinner, Sabina was ready. She learned that if they truly went through with this plan to have her out of the family than they should put her in theater because she was an amazing actress. She was able to pretend for an entire weak that she had no idea what they had planned and continued to be "excited" about going to Arcane in a few days. Which was the original reason that Silas was here, to take her to the school. But now because of no signs of her having a gift, she was not going.]]]

[center [size12 [i The De Armas family sat at the table, discussing council matters and Sabina's first year. Frauds, all of them. Pretending as though they were still going to send her. Sabina barely ate what was on her plate, she pushed the food around more than she actually ate it. Her entire body was on edge, ready for the moment that Silas would strike. The hand that was not clutching her fork, lingered over the butcher knife she took from the kitchen this morning and set in her chair for when it was dinner time. The minutes ticked by slowly almost standing still at moments.]]]

[center [size12 [i She noticed the glances between her brother and her parents. She could tell that Silas was much more hesitant than her parents. With a slight sigh, he turned to her, "Sabina." This was it. This was the moment. In seconds, she dropped her fork and grabbed a hold of her brother's, but before she could lift the other hand with the butcher knife, she was struck with this feeling. It filled her power. Ran through every nerve in her body.]]]

[center [size12 [i From the pale look on her brother's face, she didn't have to guess what was happening. She had his gift, she was a siphoner. A slow smile appeared on her face as she stared her brother straight in the eyes. [#e192f6 "Well look at that, looks like I have a gift after all."] She looked to her mom and dad, both were confused on what was going on. [#e192f6 "I want all three of you to listen very carefully. You're going to forget that you ever wanted to erase any of my memories. You're going to forget this conversation as soon as I leave the room."] She was about to let go off Silas' arm before pausing. [#e192f6 "Mother dearest, father dearest,"] she turned to her parents. [#e192f6 "You remember making the decision that I will be the next head of the council."]]]]

[center [size12 [i She released Silas' arm and stood up. Adjusting her skirt, she realized she still had the butcher knife in her hand. Shrugging her shoulders, she slammed the knife down in the table and gave her family a bright smile. [#e192f6 "Okay, I'm going to go finish packing. Enjoy the rest of your dinner."] Giggling, she practically skipped out of the room.]]]

[center [font "times new roman" It was finally here, she was finally at Arcane. She was finally at the school that would help her advance at her skills and become a powerful witch. She could barely reign in her excitement as she walked down the halls of the boarding building. Since the decision of adding boys to their student body, it seemed they built another boarding building for the males. She didn't care, as long as she still was getting her dorm all to herself, like she was promised by her brother, at the beginning of summer break.]]

[center [font "times new roman" She finally made it to her dorm room to see that the door was cracked. Probably from when they brought her luggage in, they forgot to close the door all of the way. She would be sure to complain to someone about it later. She pushed the door open all of the way and was met with a terrible scene! Another girl was in the room and there was [u two] beds! [#e192f6 "What the fuck!?"] She didn't waste any time when she pulled out her phone and dialed her brother's number.]]

[center [font "times new roman" Before Silas could even get out a greeting, she went into a rant. [#e192f6 "What the fuck is going on, Silas? You agreed I would have my own room and obviously that isn't the case. There's two beds in here, Silas!"] She looked the other girl up and down and scrunched her nose. [#e192f6 "They are dorming me with a generic ass looking vampire, Sil. She's all pale and looks like she needs a burger."] She didn't care if the girl could hear her, she didn't plan to be in this dorm room for long. She walked out into the hallway to finish her conversation, shoulder bumping another girl that was going by. [#e192f6 "Watch it,"] she snapped before continuing down the hall.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The black haired female looked towards the trees in front of her. Her father was standing behind her, his arms crossed over his chest. [b "Focus Sarai, you got this"] he said lightly. The woman let out a slow breath, reached her hand out and some of the trees had ice creeping up their trunks. She let out a small yelp of surprise and jumped back. The moment her eyes were away from the trees was when the ice melted away. Her heart was hammering inside of her chest. [#D7ACAC "Did that really just happen?"] she breathed out. The older male closed the distance between them, and swept her up off her feet. [b "You did it baby! I knew you could do it!"] the older male yelled.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 A laugh escaped the young woman as her father twirled her around, and then she was placed back onto her feet. [b "I knew you could do it. I knew that Arcane was going to be getting an amazing young, talented witch like yourself. Let's work on it a little bit more, and then we can call it a day"] he promised her. Sarai on the other hand wanted nothing more than to just go home and tell her mother about it all. She knew her mother would be really proud of her as well. Right when she was about to do it again, was when Malachi came bursting though the trees out of breath. [b "Malachi? What's going on?"] the male asked.]]

The male was the first one to burst through the door. [b "Miranda? Honey, are you okay?"] he asked as he knelt by his wife's bed. Sarai stopped in the doorway and looked towards her mother in the bed. Her heart was breaking inside of her chest. Seeing her mother laying there broke her even more. The older woman looked towards her daughter and held her other hand out. Sarai made her way into the room and sat on the edge of her bed, and took her hand in her own.]]

You are going to be an amazing young witch"] she said lightly. Sarai lifted her mother's hand to her cheek and nodded lightly. [#D7ACAC "I promise you I will not fail you momma..."] she said softly, her voice cracking. Miranda then turned her eyes to her husband. [#ff00ff "August, I want you to know how much I love you.

I'll wait as long as I need too, and I will make sure our baby chases her dreams. I love you so much"] he said, his own voice cracking. The little family fell silent, and as the minutes ticked by Miranda's eyes slowly drifted closed, and then she was gone. Her father was the first to exit the room, tears streaming down his face. Sarai shifted and curled up next to her dead mother. [#D7ACAC "I love you momma..."] she whispered.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She laid there for the longest time letting the tears fall, listening to her father's painful cries in the next room. She closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around herself as the pain washed over her.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 It's been three weeks since her mother died and she was still going to be attending Arcane. Since then she hasn't really practiced using her powers, and her father has been shut off from her too. A small sigh passed through her lips as she finished packing up her things. When she was done Malachi walked into the room. [b [i "Are you ready to go?"]] he asked her. The young woman looked up and nodded lightly. [#D7ACAC "Just finished"] she said lightly. The male nodded and helped her take her things to the car. She stopped long enough to knock on her father's door, and he answered right away.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The woman looked up towards him and smiled sadly. [#D7ACAC "I just wanted to let you know I was leaving"] she said softly. The male opened his arms and she stepped into them. She hugged her father tightly, and he wrapped his arms around her in return. [b "I'm sorry Bug that I haven't been around.. I'm so proud of you though. As soon as you get there, let me know"] he whispered into her ear. When he finally let her go, she promised she would call him as soon as she got there. They said their final goodbyes, and then she was slipping out of the cabin, and into the car with Malachi. She took one last look at her home, and felt her heart breaking.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She was glad to be going to Arcane, and she felt like she would finally be able to learn to control her powers better. She knew she had something else crawling around under her skin, but she didn't know what it was. The drive there didn't take long at all. At least that's how it felt. When Malachi pulled up in front of the school and helped her out with her bags, she thanked the male and then made her way inside. There were other students around, and she felt her heart skipping a beat. She felt like she could be apart of something. She slowly made her way to her dorm room. She was the first one there, and she claimed one of the two beds inside.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As she was making herself comfortable, she heard the door open and then a woman speaking. She looked up and was about to say hello when she saw that she was on the phone, and pretty much talking about her. She narrowed her eyes a bit as she watched her. The woman was a total bitch, complaining about not having her own dorm room. What was she? A spoiled princess or something? When the bitch called her a vampire, and pretty much said she needed a cheese burger or something, that really pissed her off. What the fuck did she think she was? She watched as the bitch stormed out of the room.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 She sighed lightly as she sat on the edge of her bed, crossed her arms and watched the bitch throwing her fit. This was going to be an interesting school year that's for sure. Something she hoped would soon change, but she wasn't going to hold her breath for long about it.]]

[center [b Months Ago]]
It had been no real surprise to Beckett when flames had shot out from her upturned hands- she had always been told she had somewhat of a fiery personality now she had the power to match it. A smile broke out across her face that had been only moments before furrowed in concentration. She let the flames die out before running towards her older sister and throwing her arms around her, [+orangered "Fire! My gift is fire. How cool is that?"] she exclaimed letting her excitement radiate off of herself. She felt her sister's shoulders shake as she tried to contain her reaction to the twenty year-old's enthusiasm but it wasn't long before Catalina's own laughter escaped her. [b "Yes, yes you are quite impressive. Don't let that compliment go to your head,"] Cat said poking Beck's cheek, [b "Now why don't you try again just for practice."]

Beckett stuck her tongue out before peeling herself away from the hug she captured Cat in. She closed her eyes trying to recall the feeling she had only a minute ago. Her hands began to feel warm which caused her to let her eyelids flutter open. Again a grin was plastered on her face as she let the flames dance on her palm. She let the flame grow trying to test what she was able to do until she heard Cat again, [b "Alright let's not get carried away. You still need the training to develop that newfound power of yours and I won't have you burning down our yard in the meantime."] Beck rolled her eyes but let the flames dissipate, [+orangered "Worrywart..."] she muttered. Catalina was a few years older than she was and had sometimes been like a third parent to her. While Beckett was adventurous and impulsive, Catalina was calm and doting. Though Beck still grew up idolizing her- she still could remember how mesmerized she was when she had watched Catalina discover her ability to manipulate plants. Though Beck had hated that her sister then had to go away to Arcane Academy now she found herself excitedly counting down the days till she would be there.

She moved past Catalina to start heading inside. [+orangered "Have you seen Mom or Dad at all?"] she asked on the way in. [b "They are at a meeting- you can tell them the good new later."] Beckett sighed in disappointment wishing that she could tell them now. She knew she was being impatient but this was a big deal for her. Still she made her way back into the house leaving the brisk air of the outdoors. Again she let her mind drift off to her excitement about Arcane. Soon she would be on her way to a new adventure.

Somewhere there would be other's like her from other families. Somewhere she hoped she would still stand out. How could she not? She wanted to do her best to make Cat and her parents proud.
[center [b Present Day]]
It was finally the day that she would start the new chapter of her life. Cat had fussed over her bags before she had left the house- going over some mental checklist of all the things Beck apparently should bring. It felt like it was taking forever to leave but soon she was in her father's car watching Arcane Academy appear in the distance. The anticipation showed on her face causing her father to grin, [+darkred "I know you are going to do great things here- just like your sister."]

Beck smiled, [+orangered "I love you Dad."] It was soon that they had pulled up to the school. Once she had her bags out of the car she wrapped her arms around him, [+orangered "Tell Mom I love her as well. I miss you all already,"] she said gently before taking her things and heading towards the room she was assigned. Her eyes scanned the hallways as she walked by. There was already a lot of people walking around. Suddenly she had felt a jarring push against her shoulder as a woman made contact with her shoulder as she stormed by. Being that she had not truly been paying attention to where she had been walking she decided to let it go and not comment back. Though her eyes narrowed as the other woman continued down the hallway wondering what had her in such a bad mood. She rolled her eyes before continuing to her room.

When she opened the door she noted that it was completely empty of anyone else's belongings. Beck figured that meant she had beat whoever her future roommate was to their new room. She choose the bed on the right as she started to unpack her belongings to make her side of the room feel more like home.

Once she had most of it set up she took a step back looking at what she currently had completed. Feeling satisfied with it she took a seat on the edge of her bed before pulling out her phone to let Cat know she was settled in.

She took another look around the room, still her roommate had not appeared. She hoped it would be someone she would get along with or at least that they could both tolerate each other. She didn't want to suffer through sharing space with someone she couldn't stand. She took a deep breath as she stretched her hands above her head before standing up. She started to make her way towards the door of her bedroom not sure where she was going but feeling to antsy to stay cooped up in her room.

[right [pic https://i.imgur.com/Fx2LZQ7.jpg]][center [font "times new roman" Arcane Academy, is was not a school that Jupiter ever heard of until a few months ago when he attempted a "spell" that ended up working. He never truly believed that magic actually existed. Sure, he was a huge Harry Potter fan, but he never actually thought when he did the Potter more test and placed in Hufflepuff that he would get a letter to Hogwarts. Yet here he was, at a private school for magic, hidden from the normal world. He thought he was whatever these people would call a Mudblood until his mother told him how his great-great-great grandmother had actually been a witch who married a normal man. They had children who than also married normal people, so on and so forth. So, everyone assumed the magic was washed out of the blood until Jupiter found one of his grandmother's spells in the attic.]]

[center [font "times new roman" School here was going to be even harder on him because of the fact he had absolutely no training! Nothing aside from Harry Potter, Practical Magic, and Charmed. Probably could not use those as resources in class. His parents were thrilled when they learned he inherited the powers like his grandmother, but they couldn't tell him what the power was exactly. That was something he had spent the remaining months before going to Arcane to figure out. And it was not until a squirrel got into their house did, he discover it. He let out a long sigh as he stared at the map on the wall of the boy's dorm building. Animal Manipulation. That was his gift. It was so lame! He wanted to blow things up like Piper.]]

[center [font "times new roman" Shaking his head, he had to remind himself he was in the process of finding his dorm room, not mopping over his lame power. He was curious if he would get a wand at least, or a broom! Maybe a messenger owl. [is Focus!] Task at hand, find his dorm room. He ran his finger over the directions. Second floor, go to the right, third door on the left. Grabbing the handle to his suitcase, he made his way to the dorm room. The hallways were so quiet and dead, there was no one else there but him. Was he early? Stopping at the dorm of his new home, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.]]

[center [font "times new roman" Empty. Nothing but bare walls and two beds. So surely his new roomie would be there soon, right? He really hoped so because the lack of people was starting to freak him out.]]

[b "Caspian, you shit!'] Caspian snickered as he heard the yell from his brother who was still on the floor. Ever since he had discovered his gift of shapeshifting it had been hard not to want to practice. Especially when you knew that your brother was afraid of snakes. [+olivedrab "You make it so easy Mason"] he chuckled to himself. He reached out his hand, waiting for Mason to grab ahold of it before helping to pull him up. Once his brother was firmly on his feet again Caspian felt the jab of a fist on his shoulder. [b "Well still fuck you man,"] his brother said after the retaliatory hit, [b "I can't wait for you to be at school and not here."]

As the oldest Caspian was the first of the Lyons children to be heading to school something he often bragged about to his younger brother. Mason who was only two years shy of when it would be his time to discover his gift had told Caspian that once he had his gift he would prank Cas right back. Which in turn just made Caspian roll his eyes. [+olivedrab "You are going to miss me little brother don't lie,"] he said throwing an arm over his brothers shoulder. The younger male couldn't help but have a smile break out across his face as well. [b "Well maybe. But I will be glad to not have to wonder if the person or animal across from me is you,"] he heard his brother reply before the other male ducked out from under his arm.

[+orchid "Caspian why did I hear your brother yelling moments ago?"] a voice rang out. Caspian winced slightly knowing exactly who that voice belonged to. The warlock sucked air in through his teeth, [+olivedrab "Just harmless jokes between brothers,"] he replied as innocently as he could muster. He glanced over his shoulder to find his mother enter the room. [+orchid "Shouldn't you be packing for school?"] she asked him. She stood tall in the door frame not a single hair out of place. His mother was a firm believer that one must always look their best.

The Lyons family were a proud family one could say- and Caspian was certainly a Lyon. The men in the Lyons family always inherited their gifts, always went to the all males school in the states. At least until Caspian they did. Now because of a fire Caspian found himself a week away from attending Arcane Academy.

[+olivedrab "I'll get back to it mother,"] he replied as he walked by his mother. [+orchid "Remember you represent our family. Try not to create too much chaos when you are there,"] his mother sighed out. Caspian forced a grin onto his face, [+olivedrab "Of course mother."]
[center [b Present Day]]
Caspian stepped out of the car looking at the school in front of him. His father had not been pleased that his first born son would have to attend the enemy school. Which is why he refused to be present today. In truth, Caspian didn't mind arriving without either of his parents, they could be vexing at times to say the least.

He was quick in grabbing his bags from the car. He gave a small wave to the chauffer before the car started to speed off back the way it had came. He sighed taking in the school one more time. It certainly had a grand look to it and by now there were others milling about the halls. Finding his room didn't take too long, unpacking was certainly going to take longer.

His eyes narrowed taking in the bare room- it certainly would need some work to make it feel like home. At least he got his choice of side of the room as his roommate was yet to be seen. He lugged one bag onto the bed he choose starting to unpack his belongings.

The male let out a small chuckle as he rounded the corner his arms crossed over his chest. [#E67E22 "I'm not sure what you are talking about little Swan"] he said with another chuckle. The teenager turned around and glared at her brother. [#ff00ff "Ever since you found out about your bloody powers, you've been making my life hell!"] the eighteen year old yelled at him. The male shrugged and barely had time to duck when a brush was hurled at his head.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "Swan, stop it.

He was glad too, because he wasn't in the mood to deal with something else getting thrown at him. He walked over to her bed and sat down.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#ff00ff "Will you still write to me like you promised? I want lots of pictures too, and I want to know whom your roommate is, and everything. I wish I could go with you, I really do. Also I'm sorry for throwing my brush at your head"] she said with a sheepish smile. The male laughed and shook his head lightly as he thought about the brush, and soon it was floating back into the room. She took it out of midair and placed it on her dresser. [#E67E22 "It's alright little Swan, so worries."] he said with a laugh.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "Yes I will still write to you, and I will make sure to send pictures if and when I can.

The two chatted for a little while, until his father poked his head around the corner. [b "It's time to get a move on Theo, you don't wanna be late"] he said lightly. Theo looked up at his father and nodded.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#E67E22 "Alright, I'll be right there"] he said. The older man nodded and made his way back out. Theo then turned to Odette and pulled her into his arms. The sibling's held onto each other for a couple minutes before pulling away. [#ff00ff "I love you asshole, and I am going to miss you. Let me know how your first week goes"] she said. The male told her he would, and then he pushed himself up and made his way out of her room. As he did, he used his powers to move one of her pictures.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 He smirked when he heard her cussing him out once more. He made his way out of the house and to the car. He slid into the passenger seat and shut the door behind him. He had packed up his things the night before, so he could have more time with Odette before leaving. He sighed lightly as his father started up the car, and headed towards Arcane Academy. His whole world was going changing around him, and he couldn't do anything to stop it. He wasn't sure he wanted too either.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 The drive was silent, so he had enough time to really think about what was happening. He was wondering if his mother was looking down at him, and was proud of him. He hoped she was, because he was doing this for her. She had the same Telekinesis powers he had. He had watched her using them while growing up, and had wished he had the same powers. Low and behold, he did. He was surprised his father wasn't like Odette and himself. He let out a small sigh, and shook his head to clear it.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 That's when he realized they were here. He turned his attention to his father. [#E67E22 "I love you, thank you for letting me crash and bringing me here"] he said. The older man nodded and turned to his son. [b "Of course, that's what father's are supposed to do. You've got this son. I'm really proud of you, and I know your mother would be too. Show them who's boss"] he said and hugged his son tightly. Theo then climbed out of the car and made his way into the Academy. He didn't dare look back at his father.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 He stopped long enough to get directions to his room, and then made a mental note of it. He found his way through the halls, and stopped a couple of times to talk to some of the other students. It was strange being here, but he was already enjoying it. He found his room and opened the door. He wasn't surprised to see someone else already there. He broke out into a smile as he nodded towards his roommate. He didn't know the other's name, and wondered if he would right away. He moved over to the empty bed.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 He then turned to the other and held his hand out. [#E67E22 "Names Theodore Wilkes, and it looks like I'm your roommate, it's a pleasure meeting you"] he said as he shook the other's hand. He then shoved his hands into his pockets falling silent. He was all of a sudden nervous, and he didn't quite understand why.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Zathrian's heart was pounding. He was holding a dead bird in his hands, and he could slowly see it coming back to life. What the fuck was going on here? The bird's neck had been snapped, and yet as he watched it seemed to come back to life. The bird started to breathe once more, and then all of a sudden it started to struggle in his hands. [#b4c8ee "What the fuck?"] he spoke out. That's when his mother came up to his side, and touched his shoulder lightly and smiled. [b "You did it baby"] she breathed.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [#b4c8ee "What did I do?"] he asked her. He slowly turned his eyes to the woman beside him. [b "You brought the bird back from the dead my boy. I knew you were special, and I knew this day was coming. I just wish you would have known about it sooner"] she said clicking her tongue. The male looked down at the bird, and realized if he didn't let it go soon he would end up killing it again. He slowly un-cupped his hands and the bird took flight just then.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 He was confused about this whole thing. He didn't think he was any different. He didn't realize he had this so called [i Gift] until recently. He had felt like he was different since he was a little boy, but didn't realize he was this different. He shook his head as he turned his eyes back to his mother. [#b4c8ee "I don't know what you are talking about, but whatever the fuck that was, it scared the shit out of me"] he said in a small, quiet voice. The woman shook her head.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "Don't be scared baby. That's your Necromancy showing. You have the ability to bring the dead back to life, and you can control the dead for whatever you want and need"] she cooed. She was more excited than he was. He didn't know if he wanted that kind of gift. He shook his head as he looked down at his hands. He saw some blood from the bird there, and he wiped his hands on his jeans. [b "Arcane will be lucky to have you"] she said and pulled him into a tight hug.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Arcane Academy was something his mother had been talking about for years. She wanted her son to attend the way she had. She had told him over and over it was the perfect place to learn everything. He would be able to learn, and grow in his new found powers, and he would find other's just like himself as well behind those walls. But was that something he, himself wanted? At first he didn't, but he promised his mother he would do it for her. He sighed and hugged her back tightly. [#b4c8ee "I'm glad you are proud"] he said in her ear.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 [b "I'm more than proud baby. Everything is finally falling into place, and you will be entering Arcane, and you will finally feel like you are home"] she said kissing his cheek. The two then made their way back to the house and got ready for dinner. The blonde didn't know what else to tell his mother, but at least she was happy, and that's all that mattered to him.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 It's been a year since he found out about his gift, and he was still scared of it. He just didn't fully understand it. He had been practicing ever since he found out about it. His mother passed away right before he had gotten his Arcane letter, and when he had gotten it, he went straight to her grave and read the letter aloud. He knew she would be jumping for joy knowing he was accepted inside those walls. He let out a small sigh as he looked around his empty home one last time. He wouldn't ever step foot into these walls ever again, and it saddened him.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 At least he would be with other's who were like him, and that's all he cared about. He picked up his things when he heard his friend outside. He made his way to the car, threw his things into the back, and slid into the passenger seat. [#b4c8ee "Thank you Lila for taking me"] he said leaning over and hugging the woman. [#ff00ff "Don't worry about it, that's what friend's are for. I'll make sure to take fresh flowers to your mother's grave, and keep it clean"] she promised. The male knew she would too. She then put the car in gear.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Soon enough he was out of the car once more, and watched as Lila sped off. He felt like a huge chunk of his heart was missing. He sighed as he made his way inside. He side stepped when a woman ran past. She looked pissed and he raised a 'brow slightly wondering what the fuck was going on. He shook his head, found his room and made his way there. When he walked into the room he stopped dead in his tracks. There was another male inside the room, and he wasn't too bad to look at either.]]

[google-font https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 He cleared his throat before walking over to the empty bed. He sat down and dropped his things onto the floor. [#b4c8ee "I'm Zathrian Campbell"] was all he could really muster saying. The male he was rooming with was handsome to boot, and the blonde hadn't seen anyone like him before. He wondered if the other was straight, or at least bi-sexual because of the thoughts running around his head just now was making him feel things he hadn't felt in a while. He knew he wasn't here for something like that, but he sure hoped something like that could happen.]]

Anyone still interested in continuing this?
