Valian winced.  "Hey!  I didn't say I wouldn't walk," he grunted.  "You don't have to drag me, jeez.  Let me down.  And I know my own way to the headmistress's office."  He frowned.  "And with all the respect I've afforded you..."  As he stood and watched, things started to fall into place and his frown turned into a glare.  The Witcher had been talking to the woman who attacked him right before the attack took place.  He was there, looking the other way, when the woman lured Valian away.  "You bastard."  His tone was slightly indignant.  Valian shook his head.  'Figures.  He probably sees me as a monster, too.'

Geralt looked over at Reagan as he finished pulling out a pair of medieval manacles, shackling Valian's arm to his own.


"Oh, hello there.  Ms. Deimos I presume?  My name is Geralt.  Nishira asked me to bring you and a few others to her office, although she won't tell me why.  Judging from the list, I'd say it's probably not all for the same reason.  Earlier she spoke with Grim about his winnings from the tournament, and I think she mentioned that you would be getting something as well.  At least, that's what I think it might be...  I'm still not entirely sure."

Reagan raised an eyebrow at his statement. 'So she still likes being vague. Even with the messenger. Great. But wait... I won?' Reagan shrugged. Not like she wanted to be chained with such a... primitive... device. "Yeah, I'm Reagan. Nice to meet you. Good to hear the Headmistress is so concise with her instructions. Very calming." Reagan would have rather been told what it was they had won, but she wasn't going to complain about free stuff. Even if she wasn't sure if she won or not. 'How would a winner be determined in that situation? By who lived longer while being coated in molten lead? That came from freaking nowhere.'

Valian was still glaring and began to attempt to vibrate his arm subtly but with enough force to break free.  He would follow, but he didn't want to be shackled.  Glancing, he tried to catch Reagan's eye and signal her to help him.  Of course, he didn't know if she could, but there was always a chance.  At times like these he wished he had telepathy.
 
Hallway and then Cafeteria


@folclor @TommyGun15 @shadowstrikr25


Lillith sighed quickly having grown bored yet again. She had previously been singing in the hallways again. So she decided to listen for someone entertaining. She put her hand up to her ear and listened to the many heartbeats around her.


She giggled as she heard one that pleased her. It was that blonde boy's heartbeat. He was still alive! That was...surprising. Lillith followed the sound of his heartbeat until she reached what she assumed to be an eating hall.


"Hello all." She said, eyes drifting around until she saw the blonde boy. She sent him a wicked grin before turning her attention to the others in the cafeteria.


Hallway and then Cafeteria


@folclor @TommyGun15 @shadowstrikr25


Ivela walked into the cafeteria with a blank look on her face. She noticed all of the people in there and sighed with annoyance. After she had just decided to go back to following her family's rules. The only reason Ivela had come to the cafeteria was for a light snack, a final hurrah before going back to the diet her family had her on when she was still with them.


 "I'll come back." She stated as she turned to step out of the room.
 
Hallway


@Lunaria Silver @TommyGun15 @shadowstrikr25


His eyes widened even further.  'Shit!'  He redoubled his efforts, attempting to break free of the manacle.  Well, now he wouldn't go with the group.  No way he was going anywhere with that woman!  The bolts that held the shackles together began to loosen and he realized he'd found the right frequency.  Not long after, the bolts fell.  He was free.  Not giving the Witcher time to grab him this time, he bolted, his inhuman speed allowing him to get up the stairs, down the back hallway, and into the passage up to the trap door that led to the school's roof before anyone of lesser speed could make it down the hallway after him.  Now he was climbing the ladder and, hopefully, he'd escaped for now.
 
Hallway


@folclor @shadowstrikr25 @Lunaria Silver




Geralt saw Ivela and Lilith walk into the room, glad that he didn't have to fetch anyone else.  He called over to Ivela before she could leave.


"Hold on, Ivela right?  Nishira wants to speak with you."  Geralt turned to Lilith.  "And you too Lilith.  I'm not sure what it's about but-"


At that point Valian broke free of the manacles and bolted.  Geralt sighed as shook his head.


"Okay, new plan.  Could you do me a favor and go find the boy and bring him back.  I'll be in your debt if you do."


Geralt leaned in a bit, lowering his voice so that no one else would hear.


"Also, I'd appreciate it if you could take some of his blood.  Not enough to kill him, just enough to calm him down.  Three or four pints, should be enough that he won't run away again."

Cafeteria then Hallway


@shadowstrikr25 @TommyGun15 then @folclor


Lillith's grinned stretched all the way across her face as she began laughing. "Awww, he ran away!" 


She turned her attention to Geralt as he asked her to bring him back. "But of course." She giggled. "I'll be sure to ask a favor of you in turn."


Lillith offered a simple wave as she turned and walked out the door into the hallways. She put her hand up to her ear again, listening for his heartbeat. That was the easiest way to track somebody she had already met. It was effective, but could be faulty.


But it was always much easier when she had nearly drained the person before. "Are we playing hide and go seek, Cibus?" She called out, her voice echoing.


"Well...I'll win." She stated, looking down while chuckling with her eyes closed.


All of a sudden she opened her eyes back up and tore through the hallway, honing in on the sound of blondie's heartbeat. She really needed to learn his name. Maybe she already had, but she didn't remember it.


It took very little time before she was below him on the ladder, her eyes glowing bright blue as she stared up at him. "I win." She stated as she grabbed his ankle. If she squeezed it much harder, it would likely break.


"Come back now, or I'll just have to partake in a snack." She drawled out as she stared at him. "I'm not particularly hungry right now, I did make quite a meal out of you. You're lucky I thought to bring you to the infirmary."


She would, gladly, drink a few pints of his blood, but she was rather satisfied by his blood earlier. However, if he didn't comply she would be forced to take a bite.


Cafeteria


@shadowstrikr25 @TommyGun15


Ivela frowned at the alchemy teacher asking her to stay before she sighed. "If the headmistress wishes to see me I cannot refuse." She stated simply as she walked further into the room. She tried not to pay any mind to the aura of darkness surrounding the laughing woman who just left. Or the other various auras in the room.


It could be hard to ignore sometimes.
 
Cafeteria/Nishira's Office


@folclor @shadowstrikr25 @Lunaria Silver





Geralt nodded as Lilith ran after the boy, somehow getting the feeling he'd regret giving her a favor.  But at the moment he had more important matters to deal with.


"Very well then, if you'd all follow me."


Geralt then led the students to Nishira's office.  He opened the door and waved them inside.


"Nishira, I brought those students you asked to see.  Valian was a bit nervous, but Lilith should be along with him any minute."


Geralt walked up to her desk and set a pouch on it, which had instructions on how to perform the trial, and more of the concoction he'd given Grim.


"If you'll pardon me, there are some things I need to get from my office."


And with that Geralt left, leaving the students alone with Nishira.

Headmistress' Quarters


@folclor @shadowstrikr25


Ivela frowned when the alchemy teacher left, but said nothing. She had no idea what this was all about. However, she knew that sometimes it was best not to ask questions. If she was going to start living by her family's rules again, she would also have to stop worrying about what those higher than her asked her to do. She would just have to do it. So her face stayed completely blank as she waited for the headmistress to speak.

@Lunaria Silver


Try to break free and risk a broken ankle and being drained again or go with the person he hated the most right now?  It was a hard decision and it terrified him that she was faster than he.  He'd not met anyone, in his three years at the academy, even an equal in that measure without magical enhancements.  But she was.  She was his better.  Valian gripped the rungs on the latter a bit tighter as he thought on it.  He was halfway up right now.  He could throw himself off?  But she had hold of his ankle.  The most that was likely to do was cause further bodily injury.  If he tried to vibrate himself free she'd feel it and probably crush his ankle first.  If he agreed to come down would she leave him alone or was this another trick?  Out of her provided options, he'd prefer not being drained again.


"I can't climb down while you have hold of my ankle.  I won't run.  Just... let me climb down and I'll go willingly..."  He was still terrified, but he would go willingly.


My Office


@TommyGun15 @shadowstrikr25 @Lunaria Silver


Nishira grinned at the children.  "Oh wonderful.  Ivela, dear, please wait here just a moment.  I have something special for you.  The rest of you follow me."


She led the other students into the ritual room and distributed vials to each of them.  "Get on a free slab and drink your potions."  As those students were all bound, they'd have to obey.  She left the ritual room.  "Okay, Miss Zoldyk, follow me."  The headmistress led the young assassin to another room off the side with a slab in the center.  It was a smaller ritual room.  "Lay down, Ivela."
 
Headmistress' office


@folclor @shadowstrikr25 @TommyGun15


Ivela was incredibly nervous as she followed the headmistress into a room with a slab on it. In fact, she was downright terrified. Was this what Why'nn meant about the headmistress taking students?


When the headmistress ordered her to lay down on the slab, she opened her mouth to ask why. However, she stopped herself. She had no right to question the headmistress. She was her superior. She was her better.


The headmistress was in charge at the school here.


So Ivela laid down on the slab with an air of cold indifference.


Hallway


@folclor


Lillith giggled as her eyes returned to their normal hue. She released his ankle and dropped down from the ladder. She stared up at him as she waited for him to climb down. "Well, we should head straight to the puppet master's office." Lillith informed him.


"You've impressed me, Cibus. You're very fast. I wonder what Nathan would think of you..." She mused while smiling at him. 'The plans I have for you...'


"What is your name again? I can't remember if you've told me."
 
Secondary Ritual Room


@Lunaria Silver


Nishira grinned, casting a potent sleeping spell on the girl.  As Ivela fell asleep, the headmistress chained her down and began the binding.  The ritual was fairly short and was an easy procedure, comparative to a few others she'd done recently.  Ivela's soul seemed eager to follow a superior.  Nishira chuckled as the runes stopped glowing and she had Ivela's soul.  Slowly, she roused the girl.


"Good job, girl.  You're now part of my army.  Now, you need to show your devotion to me."  The chains released the girl.  "Slit your own throat.  Not deep enough to kill yourself."  The smiling lich offered Ivela a rather ceremonial looking dagger.  The girl would feel the pull of the binding.  If she tried to resist she would be in pain and her body would move to obey anyway.


Hallway


@Lunaria Silver


Valian was hesitant, but walked with her.  "Huh... haven't heard her called that.  Most of the students like calling her the headbitchtress, but... that's a little too juvenile..."  Why did she want his name?  He'd heard stories of people getting in trouble after giving their names to a powerful demon.  Was that possible here?  He would never give his true name to anyone, anyway, especially not to her.  "I haven't."  Should he give her what everyone called him?  Well, it wouldn't be polite to keep it.  "I'm called Valian."
 
Fourth floor


Violet punched the wall, then agian and agian snd agian each time yelling wih frustration. She felt something pulling at her heart strings. Viot got feelings from time to time. Feelings when bad things were happening. Others had powers but she didn't really. Maybe it was her natrual instincts coming into play. She could sense her aura starting to turn red as she grew more angery and hateful. Some of this was due to her own frustrations with being unable to defeat Nishira.  She pulled the hood of her jacket over her head and started to walk the halls. 
 
Hallways and then Headmistress' Office


@folclor and then @shadowstrikr25 @TommyGun15


Lillith glanced at him and then nodded with a seemingly satisfied smirk. "Valian, is it? Well, I don't think I formally introduced myself. I am Lillith Mahler." As she spoke, she felt a sudden urge to curtsy, as was proper for introductions. But, seeing how they were walking, it would be rather difficult to drop into a curtsy. Besides, she owed him no respect. 


"You know, for some odd reason I think you're afraid of me." She giggled after she said that. "That can be amended." 


Lillith stayed silent until they reached the door to the headmistress' office. She opened the door and walked in simply.


"Oh puppet master!" She called, not seeing her in the immediate vicinity.


Secondary Ritual Room


@folclor


Ivela stood and stared at the headmistress with wide eyes. What did she mean, part of her army? What just happened? Her eyes widened even further at Nishira's instruction. 


Now, Ivela had been given some strange orders in her time, but she had never been ordered to slit her own throat. But still, the rules...


Plus the pain that was building up from her reluctance. Her eyes squinted as she grabbed the knife from Nishira and slit her own throat.


The pain was unfamiliar, but she knew enough about slitting throats to know what she would be able to survive from. After she brought the knife across her neck she dropped it and put her hand up to her throat.


Ivela thought that she had dealt with pain her whole life, but she'd never come quite so close to dying. Well, except for when Why'nn killed her.
 
Fourth floor 


@Lunaria Silver @folclor


Scarlet watched the situation with Lilith and Valian. She frowned but took notes watching her prey hunt and go about her business. She titled her head to the side sensing a lot of enegry. "Oh it's her." She grinned. She would love Violet to beat the crap out of Lilith or maybe Lilith could weaken Violet and Scar could have a feeding frenzy. 


Scar took the latter.


"Hey Bats." She called coming from the shadows.


"A very angery young women is coming and you have her friend. We should team up."
 
Headmistress' Office


@folclor @StartingOver


Lillith heard Scarlet speak and poked her head back outside the door. "Hm? I have her friend? Do you mean Valian?" She wondered aloud. At her offer to team up, she scoffed. "Why would I want to..."


But then, a wicked grin stretched across her face as she walked out of the door. "How about I assist you, for a bit of...shall we say...information?"
 
Fourth floor


@Lunaria Silver


"You aren't in a position to ask me anything. She wants your head not mine. " Scarlet laughed leaning back. "You're going to be humbled. While Violet isn't a match for a teacher  in pure power her speed is unquestionedly on par with anyone. She can offset your only advantage. She's going to whipe the floor with you. Nishira won't stop her either. " Scarlet couldn't help but smile. "But I like you bats so ask your question. I'll decide if I wish to answer."

Grim looked to the Alchemy Teacher and rolled his eyes, his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth as he was still panting heavily. 'Fuckin' brilliant! Ima dry 'eave den pass out an ne'ver wake up.' The otter swallowed hard and snarled at the two staff members. He could feel his stomach already starting to turn even as Nishira pushed him back stitched him up. His eyes fluttered and rolled back into his head gratefully as he felt the dry heaves coming on. In his unconscious states the otter convulsed violently as his stomach tried to evacuate everything that was in there, which was just stomach acid and water. If anyone was near him as Nishira had been, they would be potentially covered in the minimal contents of the otter's stomach.


My Chambers


Delrick raised an eyebrow at her statement of not being able access the Weave. "It would seem The Lady of Mysteries has indeed granted you the ability to craft and shape the Art." The warlock gently placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled re-assuredly. "Do not fear little bird, the fact you can touch the Weave will not change any aspect of your training here or any real aspect of your life. It is just another tool for you to call upon."  She would feel something akin to the catacombs and dusty tombs of her home exuding from him, that same feeling would be felt by normal individuals as if someone had walked across their graves. Animals would shy away from him. "Now, lets contact your tutor and ask about your atonement and mending your items." With that Delrick stepped aside and motioned his apprentice forward towards the monitor, indicating she should finish the connections and greet her tutor. 
 
Fourth Floor


@StartingOver


Lillith giggled at Scarlet's assertion that her only advantage was gone. "Speed is not my only advantage." She stated simply before deciding to merely ask.


"I wish to know who Valian's closest friend is. Someone he cares for immeasurably." She asked the succubus-like woman.


Lillith was unconcerned with the threat of this...Violet person. She might be fast, but it was unlikely that she was faster than her. Lillith had never encountered anybody faster than her. But then again, Lillith wasn't fully awake. Although she was rather close to it at the moment. The blondie's blood really did have a lot of energy to it.
 
Headmistress's Office


@Lunaria Silver @StartingOver


Valian shivered as Lillith continued to speak to him.  "Maybe it has to do with the fact that you bit my neck and drank my blood?  I mean, where I'm from that is not normal."  Still, he was being rude.  "I will apologize for my general lack of manners, though.  The feeling of being looked at like a meal kind of takes the politeness out of you."
 


It was then that he heard Scarlet.  'Does she mean Violet?'  He looked about, trying to spot the girl, but she wasn't in the headmistress's office.  A thought occurred to him.  If Violet was up here somewhere - and angry - that meant Grim was somewhere on the fourth floor.  As Lillith stepped back out, Valian manipulated the light to make it appear he wasn't there and crept forward.  Coming to a large door, he opened it just far enough for him to slip inside.
 


Ritual Room


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna @shadowstrikr25


Grim was laying on a slab in the middle of the room, looking the worse for wear, possibly about to vomit all over himself.  Reagan and the other students the Alchemy teacher had gathered.  Grim had a nasty, stitched up cut along his midsection, the scene made Valian's blood run cold.  He hurried over to Reagan.  She wouldn't be able to see him, but would be able to hear him.  If Grim was still awake, he would hear his brother as well.


"Hey.  You're Reagan, right?  I'm Valian.  You wanna help me get my friend, there on the table, out of here?  I don't know what the deal is, but this does not look right.  Wait, what's that in your hand?"


Secondary Ritual Room


@Lunaria Silver


Nishira giggled and began to sew the wound shut.  "Good girl, good girl.  I'm proud of you, Ivela.  You'll be a very good soldier.  You're free to go."  The wound was stitched shut now and Nishira stepped aside, gesturing to the door.


Father's Chambers


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Why'nn didn't respond immediately, staring at the floor as he spoke.  She could use arcane magic?  Then why wasn't she trained in the Art?  Well, she did like Lord Jergal more than the idea of becoming a Red Wizard, anyway.  His presence gave her comfort and she took a deep breath, nodding.  "Yes, Father," she affirmed, stepping up toward the monitor.  Before she did as he indicated, she gave him a quick hug.  Quickly, she turned toward the monitor and completed the connections, bowing as her tutor appeared.
 
Fourth floor 


Scarlet kept her grin. "The otter boy, but if you mess with him Violet won't stop coming after you."  She leaned back. "So what to do? I could watch you get your ass kicked and pick the bones after or I could help you and we could both have a nice meal." She weighed the options. 


"As much as I would enjoy seeing Violet stick your foot in your mouth I think I want a good meal more."


@Lunaria Silver
 
Fourth Floor and then Headmistress' Office


@StartingOver


Lillith laughed at Scarlet, her voice sounding much like a young child's before walking back into the headmistress' office, just in time to see the white haired girl exit with a freshly stitched wound on her neck. She didn't think much of it and instead leaned against the wall. 


"We had no deal. So why should I offer my help? Now then. I wonder where Cibus went." She mused aloud. 'I should come up with new nickname for him. Seeing how he's going to be Nathan's substitute.'


Her grin widened. "I can't wait to see how he'll change. Also, where has the puppet master gone to?"


Secondary Ritual Room and then Fourth Floor hallway


@StartingOver


At Nishira's words Ivela nodded, though she was a bit concerned. She had never been referred to as a soldier before. Ivela left the ritual room and the office altogether after that. 


She glanced at the strange woman as she exited, but said nothing to her. Her aura was too strange for her to pay any mind to. So Ivela stood still for a moment, debating what she should do.
 
Fourth floor.


Scarlet shurgged. She couldn't blame Lilith for trying to avoid fighting if she didn't have to.


"if you're afraid say it?" She called to her. 


Her eyes fell back to Ivela... "


Oh hello." She grinned. "Your dear friend Violet is very mad now and she's going to Attack Nishira. Better stop her before she gets herself killed."


@Lunaria Silver

'You do not have friends.' Ivela sighed in annoyance at the teacher. She had rules to follow but...Violet was so nice to her. Even Illumi had allies, right? 


"If she attempts to attack the headmistress she'll most likely die. Isn't it your job to intervene?" She asked Scarlet. She supposed she should try to calm her down before she decided to commit a foolhardy act.
