Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

Location: Outside the Infirmary


Who I'm With: Why'nn


What I'm Doing: Returning her to the Infirmary


Delrick kept his grip on her arm as she struggled, his voice calm. "Ms. Canthet, you need to stop fighting. Class is over with." He looked briefly at the headmistress as she walked off with the new student. 'Why do they keep showing up? Did we not send out times for new arrivals?'


He let out a sigh and looked back to Why'nn. Her hand connected with his chest, he felt the waves of energy pass over him, though this time he was ready for her to use her divine connection. He fought through the numbing weight that sought to leave his limbs heavy. He was very impressed with her attempts to fight, even in her current condition. 'At least you will fight until the end, but we must temper that with the ability to put the mission first.' His other came up and pinned her wrist to the wall feeling her leg connect with his, though her lack of strength made it ineffectual. In a louder more commanding voice he spoke again. "Ms. Canthet, stop fighting. You lost. Class is over."


It was then that he heard someone coming down the hall shouting at him to let her go. 'Not now.' He looked inn the direction of the young man charging at him. His eyes flared blue for a moment and a black wall of solid energy formed, sealing off the hallway before the young man who claimed to be Why'nn's brother could reach him.


His eyes still showing the blue aura be looked to Why'nn and spoke. "Sleep now little bird." As she fell asleep he moved his arms to carry her back into the infirmary and to the nurses. "Perhaps you should restrain the students who fall in my combative classes." He looked slightly annoyed. "I'd thought this had been discussed last year. " The Sensei set the sleeping girl down on a bed and moved back to the hallway waiting for the headmistress to arrive. 'I wonder how she will handle this angry late comer.' His staff floating in the air near by, easily within reach should be need it.

Location: Infirmary


Who I'm With: The Sensei


What I'm Doing: Sleeping


The force of his voice began to penetrate the fog surrounding her thoughts, but she did not stop fighting. When he pinned her to the wall she let out a strangled cry, more out of frustration than anything. His voice was louder, clearer, but the words didn't make sense. Then everything was blue. Or white? She couldn't tell. She didn't remember. All she could hear were the words, "Sleep now little bird."


One of the nurses chirped at Delrick, then set about securing the unconscious student to the bed. It looked over the monk, made some other odd noises, then produced a flask that smelled strongly of alcohol and offered it.


Location: Hallway


Who I'm With: No one


What I'm Doing: Picking myself up


Illn slammed into the suddenly occurring wall and found himself flat on his back. He growled and pushed himself up. "HEY! HEY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" He slammed his fists into the wall. "WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HER?!"


Location: Hallway


Who I'm With: A very angry student


What I'm Doing: Dealing with the situation


Nishira reached the wall and shook her head, assuming what had happened. "Calm yourself, boy." She sighed. "Delrick, lower the wall." She prepared, knowing she'd have to move quickly to grab the boy.
 
Location: Outside the Acadamy


Who I'm With: no one


What I'm Doing: Walking around


Xiao Ling had just stepped through the portal. "Oh man...I'm so late!" She practically yelled. She looked around. "Was I supposed to wait here or go someplace else?" She asked trying to remember what she had heard. "Maybe I should just walk around. This place is probably far more better that home. It's not like I asked to be born with white tipped hair," She said getting annoyed. "I'm bound to run into some sort of staff member."

What I'm Doing: Helping with the situation


He politely shook his head no at the offered drink as he stepped into the hallway. As the headmistress arrived the monk took a more ready stance and grasping his staff. He nodded silently and looked to the wall. Timing it just right so the boy would be caught off guard as the wall disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. 'This should be good. If you are indeed her brother.'

Who I'm With: Two strangers


What I'm Doing: Attacking


When the wall dropped Illn was momentarily thrown off balance. He grimaced, regaining his footing. As soon as he was able, he started toward the two adults. "What in the hells did you do to my sister?" he growled, his fists clenched as he prepared to attack.


Location: Hallway


Who I'm with: Delrick and the angry student


What I'm doing: handling the situation.


Nishira smiled at the boy. 'Annoying, but you do show a bit of potential.' She stepped forward, her manner nonthreatening. "Your sister was injured in a class today. I am the headmistress and this is the weapons master. We are simply here to make sure she's all right."





This didn't appear to sit well with Illn as he drew back to punch the headmistress. She was prepared, however, and managed to dodge.





"This is not the time for battle. Go find your brother and stay with him." Her words held such authority that Illn appeared to have no choice. He, mouth agape, walked past them, going to find his brother. Once the student was gone, Nishira nodded. "There. Now we can finally get back on task." She moved into the infirmary.
 
Location: Hallway


Who I'm With: Nishira


What I'm Doing: Watching


Delrick knew the headmistress was more then capable of handling herself, she had survived for almost as long as he had, so he was not concerned about this boy hurting her. But he was always interested in seeing how she dealt with things first hand. 'Your ability to gain compliance still astounds me.'


Watching the boy walk off he nodded at her statement and followed her into the infirmary. "Yes, we can headmistress." The warlock looked to his student strapped to this bed. 'I wonder what task or test I'll have command this young bird to do.'
 
Location: Outside


Who I'm With: no one


What am I doing: Trying to get in


Xiao Ling found herself in front of the doors. "Hm...is this how I get in?" She asked herself. She looked uncertain. Should she enter the building or stay by the portal? Xiao Ling decided to try and push open the doors. She succeeded and she walked in. "Hello?" She called out. "I apologize for being so late...I couldn't remember when the first day was!"

Location: Infirmary


Who I'm with: Delrick, the girl, and the nurses


What I'm doing: The thing I love.


Nishira gestured for the nurses to close the infirmary, which they did with little problem. The headmistress then removed the girl's bandages. Why'nn's face was, more or less, the same. It still astounded Nishira that the nurses were able to construct the things they had no experience with.


"I'll do this quickly." Her hands moved deftly, drawing runes on the surrounding area, performing the needed incantations. The lights seemed to dim while the runes glowed red. Had the student been awake or under a less potent spell she would've begin struggling here.


But in only a few minutes the runes stopped glowing and the lights returned. The student was peaceful in the bed and the headmistress had a predatory smile adorning her face. "Wake her. Wake her and make her show her devotion as I made you show yours."





Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm with: Some girl


What I'm doing: coming back to myself


Illn was drawn from the stupor the headmistress bestowed upon him when a girl entered via the front doors. She seemed to be stressed by something. "You don't have to apologize to me. We're in the same boat," he murmured. He considered returning the way he'd come to check on his sister, but the headmistress was a bit terrifying.
 
Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm with: A dude


What I'm doing: talking


Xiao Ling turned twoards the voice. "Oh. whoops. Well, I should at least introduce myself. I'm Xiao Ling and apperently as I have been told recently, I'm supposed to be the next Moon Goddess," She said with a flat expression. "Do you happen to know where the person in charge is?" Xiao Ling asked trying to lighten the mood a little bit.
 
Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm With: Xiao Ling


What I'm Doing: Attempting to leave the situation


Illn sighed. "I'm sure Selune will be so happy," he muttered under his breath. Shrugging at the girls words, he gestured down the hallway. "Yeah, apparently she's down that way but..." he shivered, "I don't know I'd go that way right now." She hadn't asked his name, he wouldn't give it at the moment. Besides, some girl claiming she was going to become the next Moon Goddess deserved little respect.
 
Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm with: still the same guy


What I'm doing: attempting to get info


Xiao Ling tilted her head. "And why not?" She asked. "Who's Selune?" She was curious now and not to mention she wanted to figure out her punishment and get it over with. "Why will he or she be happy?"
 
Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm With: Xiao Ling


What I'm Doing: Trying to get out of here.


'Really? Are all outlanders this annoying?' Illn frowned. "Lady in charge seems to be busy." He started toward the stairs near them. Where they headed he didn't know, but perhaps it would lead him to Calar. "And that was sarcasm." 'I'm not a bloody cleric. Why should I have to explain it to her?' "Selune's the goddess of the moon."
 
Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm with: Same guy


What I'm doing: going to find the headmistress


"Oh really? Hm...I'd llike to speak with her..I've many questions. I can see you want to leave so I guess I'll leave you alone then," Xiao Ling said starting down the hall. "I hope we'll get to speak again."

((Quick note: If you intend to go to the headmistress you will find the infirmary doors closed. You won't be able to see inside the room or hear what's going on. You will also be unable to enter until the doors are opened from the inside.))


Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm With: Xiao Ling


What I'm Doing: Going to find my brother


"Sure," Illn replied, off-handed. He wasn't really listening at this point. The girl wasn't all that interesting and he was already halfway up the stairs. At the top he saw a sign pointing right to the male-inhabited dormitories and a sign pointing left to the female. He considered his options momentarily, wondering if he could get anything out of going left, but then decided he was done with this for the night and turned right.
 
Location: Infirmary


Who I'm with: Nishira, Why'nn, and the nurses


What I'm doing: As I'm told


Delrick watched in silence as the lich preformed the binding ceremony. He could remember his own, while uncomfortable, he doubted any of the students would be able to handle that level of intrusive magic bending their wills to that of someone else.


He stepped forward once she was done. "Yes headmistress." He looked to Why'nn and focused on the invocation he placed on her. 'Now we'll see what kind of determination you have.' His eyes flashed blue as he dismissed the sleep of ages. Once Why'nn came to the warlock produced a dagger from behind his back. "You are now my apprentice, and as such you are bound to me. I require a show of devotion. Failure to show it will result in a painful death. And a fate beyond that." His features were relaxed and his voice calm as he handed the dagger to her handle first. "Cut into your chest and open your heart for me to see."
 
Location: Entrance Hall


Who I'm with: no one


What I'm doing: making a desicion


Xiao Ling was intent on finding the headmistress but something told her it was probably not a good idea. She'll investigate tomorrow. She turned to start climbing the staris to her room. Perhaps a good night sleep would return her to her normal self. She turned the appropriate direction and began looking for her dorm. "Please let me be on my own...that would be preferable but then again a friend would be nice as well."
 
Location: Infirmary


Who I'm With: Delrick, the student, and the nurses


What I'm Doing: Observing


The joy of sadism lit within Nishira's bosom and she couldn't help but grin at how quickly the monk followed orders. 'Yes, this was the correct choice. Now to see how this one reacts.' Unable to help herself, the headmistress giggled with glee. "You're being so kind, Delrick. I didn't offer you a knife."


Location: Infirmary


Who I'm With: The sensei, the headmistress, and the nurses


What I'm Doing: Panicking


Whatever had happened during her unconsciousness was unfamiliar and terrifying. As the sensei's words fell upon her ears, she felt her body move to obey, though her mind railed against it. The straps holding her to the bed could not stop her from reaching out and taking hold of the knife. Tears sprang to her eyes as she understood what was happening. "Please, no," she whimpered. Her hand moved the knife closer. 'What did I do wrong? What have I done to displease him?!'





The knife plunged into her chest and she screamed in pain as she slashed her flesh open. Why'nn looked up at the sensei, pleading in her gaze. But she knew he wouldn't rescind the order. She wanted to stop. It hurt so badly. No matter how hard she tried, however, her will could not win out against the order. She carved until her beating heart was on display. Her breathing was unsteady, tears pouring down her cheeks, hands shaking as she grasped at the torn and bloody flesh.

Even though he could feel the compulsion of the binding magic, it was not needed. He was loyal to the headmistress of the school. "This is a much easier and cleaner way to see the desired effect." His voice was calm, though part of him felt for the girl.


He could see the terror in her eyes and hear it in her voice. The warlock simply nodded, trying to convey in some way that she was doing the right thing and he was not upset with her. As she worked he kept nodding, encouraging her. 'Do not fight it, use it. Work with the magic, you are stronger then you realize.' See her rapidly beating heart, he reached out and took the dagger from her. "Good. You have succeeded." He placed a hand over hers and pressed the torn flesh back into place. "You are indeed worthy to serve and learn at my side." The monk looked to the lich. "She has passed and survived. She is bound to me and is my apprentice." Why'nn would not see his face, but there was the smallest hint of a pride on his face. If Nishira hadn't known him for do long she wouldn't have seen it. 'She will be a great apprentice.'

What I'm Doing: Calming


His approval meant she could stop, his approval meant she was done. Her breathing was still ragged, but it was slowing. The tears slowed, though the pain was great. She just wanted to rest, wanted to go home. She longed for the crypts and catacombs and did not know what to do. Why'nn did not speak, though she let out several whimpers of pain.


Location: Infirmary


Who I'm With: Delrick, the girl, and the nurses


What I'm Doing: Celebrating


Nishira nodded, the grin still in place. She gestured to the nurses that they could begin stitching the girl up. "Good," she replied. 'And I can see you're happy with your choice.' "You've done well, Delrick. You're free to do with the child as you wish from now on, within reason." She turned and walked from the infirmary, throwing the doors wide as she left.


The nurses quickly stitched the wound on Why'nn's chest closed, though they did not use healing magics. Finally, after the headmistress was gone for several minutes and the stitches were set, the girl ventured to speak. "Wh-What does this mean?" she breathed.

Delrick kept his hand on hers, holding her wound shut and to show she was alright. "Thank you headmistress." He bowed his head slightly as she left.


As the nurses stitched her up the monk moved his hand to her shoulder while they worked. "You are my apprentice, and any conversations we have or that you overhear with the staff or headmistress you will not repeat or share with anyone." His eyes stern, implying he meant the last part as a command. "I am going to train you harder then other students. You will not be attending all the regular classes." He looked to her, his features relaxed. "You've done well and passed your first test." The monk pulled a chair closer to her bedside ave after several moments asked a question. "You were in training to serve a god, yes?" He looked to her see her reaction. "Do you still wish to serve that god?"

While his touch was reassuring, she was beginning to worry she'd done something wrong and she really did not wish for more pain this evening. Still, as he instructed her, she nodded. It wouldn't matter what she heard, anyway. As she didn't have anyone to confide in, it wouldn't make a difference. As he pulled up a chair, she didn't move, her hands still clutched together over the stitching. The blood had been cleaned up during the process, but she hadn't moved her hands far enough away for the nurses to bandage her. Scared that if she relaxed she'd be subjected to more pain, she stayed tensed.


At his initial question she nodded slowly. The second question brought another nod, but no words. Why'nn had questions. She wanted to ask so many things, but she was now afraid to. She clutched at the thin blanket covering her and nodded again.

"That is good, when we fought I felt that connection, even though you hadn't been fully trained by your previous master." He leaned back in the chair and folded his arms across his chest. "You must know, you did nothing wrong, and this binding was no punishment, I choose you to learn at my side." A small smile formed on his face, seeing how tense she was. Like a spring wound so tight it would snap. "You must relax, if you have questions or wish to say something to me you are free to do so." Letting out a small sigh Delrick nodded. "Even if you wish to disagree with me, just do not do so in front of others." His posture was very relaxed, one could almost feel it flowing from him. After several quiet moments, a smirk appeared on his features. "This is a conversation, which only works if the other person speaks."

Why'nn felt her body slowly beginning to relax. This wasn't due to a command, she recognized. No, this was due to an attempt to trust her new master. Her breathing was calm and her eyes were fixed on him. "M-Mistress," she corrected, her voice quiet. "I t-trained under a mistress." After this small bit of information, her gaze dropped to her lap. "Why?" She shook her head. "Wh-Why did you choose me?" 'Why couldn't I simply be a face in the crowd? Why am I singled out? I just want to go home...' At this point, she let the nurses bind her chest.

'Good, relax. It's the only way this will work.' He shifted in his chair to lean closer, so he could hear better and keep eye contact with her. "Ok, your former mistress." He nodded to the correction. He watched her gaze drop and he nodded. "Because you showed potential." Leaning on his elbows he spoke softly. "I've only seen determination like yours only one other time." The monk kept his gaze on her as the nurses bound her wound. 'And if you're anything like me you have great potential.'

'I just want to go home!' She shifted uncomfortably under the scrutinizing gaze. Still, she nodded in acceptance of his words. The nurses moved away from her and she pulled at the straps securing her to the bed, not in an attempt to get away, more out of the desire for a distraction. This was all so strange and Why'nn couldn't entirely grasp the situation. "Why did this have to happen?" Her anger surged and her fists clenched around the straps. "If you wanted me to train under you... w... why did you not simply do so?" Her gaze did not move from her hands, remembering the last time she struck out at an instructor in anger. "T-To bind me, to make me d-do this... Why? Why not simply train me? Why cause this? What purpose does it serve?" Through all of this, she attempted to keep her anger tempered, attempted to keep her words logical. Though she wanted to strike out, she was in no position to do so.
