Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

" I was wondering a little why your door was wide open. Um, I'm gonna come in if that's alright with you. " She asked, nicely waiting outside the door for a response.


" I'm guessing you had a rough day so far? You look really, really worn down right now, do you need some water? I have a bottle in my bag if you need it. "
 
Anya pressed her head into Lily's scratching before answering, "Yeah. You're really nice, and you let me eat sweets a lot."


She paused to think a little more. "And, you scratch me on the head, and you show me fun games, and you let me eat Lily pie and gave me a friendship necklace! And..." she tightened the hug again. "You're my only friend." she said, the excitement draining from her voice. "Nobody else treated me like you do."
 
"Sure you can come in..."


-May as well... since everyone else comes into my room... at least she's well mannered-


He was surprised to see that the most well mannered person out of the 3 that came in looked the least human... and considering that Mel probably wants to kill him or something... well... maybe that's why Humanity went to war with the other races in the first place... Realizing this only made Azure a bit sadder about humans in general, but got over it. It didn't show on his face what he was thinking about.


"I guess..... comparatively speaking... its the most normal day I've had in a while... which in the end isn't to good... so I guess some water would be nice, if that's ok with you..."


He yawned. Staying on the precipice of one's dreams really takes it out of you, especially when you stay in that state for an abnormal amount of time, so much so, that he was actually starting to get dizzy from that, almost to a sickening point, although it'd just last until he fully woke himself up.


"Would you say that you had a good day?"
 
She pulled off her pack and started shuffling through pulling out the water bottle she had, unopened still, while doing so she slithered in, fitting in her long body into the room. Handing the bottle to him as he asked her a question.


" Um.. I'd say it's pretty average, not a lot really happens over in my courses. Just a test really, that's all. "


She noticed the strange contraption to the side of him, and she couldn't help but wonder what it was. " Hey, what's that? " She asked pointing over to the steak mounted spear. As the end of her tail wiggled when asking that question.


( typed via phone )
 
As Anya went on and on about why she liked Lily, Lily's cheeks became more and more yellowish. When she finished, Lily could not hold back her tears.


"How could I have ever considered that she only liked me for my smell? Even before that began taking effect, she was..."





Lily pulled her roomie in tighter. She was sniffling.


"That's right, even from the beginning she liked me. And despite my best efforts, I... liked her."





"You're my only friend, too... and nobody ever treated me like you treat me. You're always so nice, and whenever I need someone... there you are. Always. You play with me and hold me, and you're like the family I never had."


No matter what, Lily was going to protect her precious family. And that meant murdering a serial killer, ousting the current student council president, purging the dangerous students by force, and subjugating the rest of the school with mind-altering drugs.


Lily was prepared to do the most horrible, unforgivable things for all the right reasons.
 
-Well... at least I know for sure that my life isn't typical... its been a while since I used someone as a reference...-


He took the bottle, opened it up, and drunk a little of it, he wasn't overly thirsty, but she was just trying to be kind after all.


"Er... well that's my homework for a class I ended up on..."


Now that the weapon was finished, he wouldn't have to be careful with swinging it around to extend or contract the weapon. With that, he took it and swung it outward, careful to have it no where near Skyia when he swung it, and it extended to its full reach.


"The teacher wanted us to take this stake that's on this spear, and make it into a more effective weapon... specifically for killing vampires... even though the teacher himself is a vampire... Anyway that is why its a stake tipped spear now. I guess I lucked out, making these sort of things are right up my alley. A lot of the other students were probably going to have some trouble making their own... or they'll probably buy something"


It then dawned upon Azure that Lily was probably going to have a lot of trouble with this assignment. Someone as royal acting... regal-ish as her probably wouldn't know the first thing about weapons, since she'd use her own vines as a weapon, or at least in his mind.
 
Skyia flinched when the spear extended, but then went into a bit of amazement clapping her hands.


" That's really cool! Really creative having it spring out like that, but is the rod still strong enough to use? And I don't really get why a vampire would teach how to kill vampires, I suppose it could be good learning from one itself, or bad, very very bad if he's teaching you lies. Anyway how did you make that spear contract and extend like that? What else do you make as well? Uh, oops, sorry I might be asking too much eheheh... " She ended by rubbing her hands behind her head.


" Sorry, I just think it's kinda cool that you made that, I get kinda curious about it. "
 
Azure wasn't used this this sort of thing, being praised for his skills and craft... he's usually just put down or fought against in one way or another, it wasn't for fun, it was for survival. Still, this praising feeling is kinda nice.


"Its real complex despite how simple it appears as. Since it is seamless, and made out of steel, it can hold up against a lot, but for it to be able to contract meant that it had to be folded. Its big and thick enough on the outside, so it is able to be somewhat hallow on the inside, which helps reduce its weight, the fact that its hallowed allows that space to be filled, which also lets it contract. While holding down a button on this spear disengages a lock of sorts on it, letting it slide freely, either to its extended or contracted position. The button is in a location that's very unlikely to be grabbed by considering how you have to hold this weapon, so its not accident prone to disarming it. I could make whatever I wanted really with all I have, it's all very customizeable so that they could really be put together to make anything."


He wasn't sure what came over him sharing as much as he did, maybe its because he was never really open with anyone ever that it got the better of him.


"Er... that's alright, I think anyone would, this sort of thing really isn't all that common."


-Now that I think about it really, these poles were really neat finds that I picked up near home...-


"After I am done with this, you can have it if you want... you seem really interested in it"

Skyia listed intently to his explanation, and it really appealed to her how it works. She always was one who wondered how stuff like this works, and what other cool things could be out there in the world.


He brought up the offer to give it to her once he's done with it, she couldn't help but have this very happy surprised expression.


" Can I?! It's really cool! I'd really love to have something like th-... Uh, erm, I mean if your alright giving it out when your finished. If you suddenly want to keep it after using it. "
 
He wasn't used to this at all, definitely a new experience...


"Well, ya, after I turn it in as homework and get it back, I really don't need it, and I have a lot of copies of the base materials..."


-minus the stake...-


"So there isn't any problem on my end"


-I just wished that I could have made this stake more spear like... its like a pointed stump, but I'm not sure sharpening it into a spear shape would make more effective as a weapon, but reduce its effectiveness against vampires... would it actually?-


"Hmm... I need to ask my teacher a question actually, I'm not sure over a couple things"


-Ugh... I can't just leave this here in my room... guess I can turn it in early if it can't be altered further then-


"You can come along if you want Skyia, I'll let you play with it a little along the way if you want."


He held out the weapon for her to take...
 
Orion awakens violently from his sleep, sweating profusely. Another nightmare had robbed him of a decent rest, and now he was gonna feel terrible the rest of the day.


-Damn bird! Can't even rest without being harassed-





He slowly sits up and moves to the edge of the bed as he tries to get his bearings. His headaches had become more frequent, and as of late he's been having violent outbursts of fire whenever he's tried to use his power. He stares down at his hands for a little while before he decides to finally drag himself off the bed.





-Guess there's no point in staying in here all day...I'll hit up the library again and see if I can't find something useful-





Orion heads to the washroom to clean up quick before venturing out of his room. It sounded quite lively in the hallways but he had his mind tide up with a present problem at hand, and the more he though about it he realized he needed to make a quick stop, and with that he headed outside. He hadn't used his flames in awhile and decided that it might be better to quickly blow off some steam before a flare up occurred.





"It's always something. Either I'm being haunted by a giant bird, or I can't focus enough to hold things in check"





As he walks away from the dorms steam can be seen rising off his body as small flares of fire begin to flicker around him. He continues to walk another 15 yards before stopping, with his hands in his pocket, and as he stands there he closes his eyes and begins to concentrate.





-I got a handle on this...just got to concentrate enough, and after I blow off some steam I'll be good to go.-





As Orion stands there with his eyes closed flames begin to flicker and flash around him faster and faster, first they are a light and playful reddish-yellow, but soon he is engulfed in a pulsating menacing deep red flame that seems to be alive. The longer he stands there the more the flame encompassing him grows, and this continues until it seems as if he's in the center of 10ft tall bonfire from hell. Slowly he lifts his right hand out of his pocket and raises it to the sky, a black smoke covers his hand as it moves, and once there the flames begin reduce in size as the black smoke becomes a black flame that begins to absorb the fire around him. He opens his eyes as the bigger flame is eaten by the smaller one.





"To think he actually worried that I couldn't manage this"


-Definitely need to find an easier and safer way to decompress though-





As the last of the red flame is absorbed, his right hand now is completely engulfed in a thick black flame. Orion cringes and winces in pain as he stares up at his right hand, and after finally releasing the tension in his body, with volcanic eruption intensity a black flame five feet wide torches about 15ft in the air for about 10seconds before losing its intensity and slowly dwindling to nothing. Orion quickly clutches his right hand and his left as he puts it to his chest, and smoke still rises from it as he tries to walk off the pain


 
"Manage it or not, I'm sure most would consider this a spectacle"


Kylier was standing behind Orion quite a bit away from him. It isn't clear how long she has been standing there


"After all, this appears to be quite an explosive and dangerous ability you have there"


She smirked at him


"Why, if you aren't careful, you could easily blow up a hole in the building, not to mention all the people that would be caught up in your heated wrath..."
 
Orion freezes, stunned to hear someone else's voice and slowly turns to see who is there


-Damn, I was so focused on this that I didn't even notice she was there-





He quickly straightens his posture and forces his right hand back into his pocket and forces a half smile





"It's not the friendliest of my flames, that's for certain. "





He almost chuckles to himself at how badly he downplayed the severity.





"Nothing I can't handle though, because as longs as it's a flame... I can tame it"


-At least that's what I intend to do eventually-





He holds up his left hand in a fist, opens it revealing the reddish-yellow flame and then shuts his hand, extinguishing it.





-There's no doubt she saw the black flame...I wonder if anyone else noticed. Definitely need to find a secluded place to work on this-





He nervously and cautiously eyes the girl before him.





"The name is Orion, and you are?"


 
" Ah okay! If there isn't any problems and you don't mind giving it away, I'd really love to have it! "


He asked if she wanted to come along with him to see his teacher about something. She felt like coming along, it was kinda nice to hang out with someone.


" Sure! " she exclaimed taking the weapon from his hands, and started figuring out how to contract it. " I'll be careful with this, don't want to hurt someone or break something. " She ended with a little giggle.


" So how is your teacher like? " She asked following him out to his classroom.
 
"Ya, it is a weapon after all. And about my teacher... well..... he's strange... and apparently is drinking the blood from one of the students..."


He didn't know how he felt about this sort of thing going on. He then spotted the crucifix that he threw away earlier, still sitting there on the ground. He didn't give it much attention though


"I really couldn't get a figure or whatever on him, he's a new breed of weird, for at least me."


He looked in the classroom that Richter handed out the stake and crucifix, but it seems that he already left


"Huh... I guess he might be in the teachers lounge? Would you say that any of your teachers are as bizzare as mine?"


~~~~~


"Any flame you say... would that happen to include a flare that is not fire?"


She was already well aware of who he was, and most of what he is in this school, after all, she's learned more than most should in her year's time here. Even so, formality is a requirement


"Kylier, is what you may address me as, Orion..."
 
"Punish me?! I have yet to do anything wrong. What's wrong with warning people about a serious threat? And your job is to teach these kids how to defend themselves. It's my job to take care of her. I . . . I just need permission from the student council. And one of her servants to tell me about her."


Bunny's face turned red as Richter mentioned her age, not answering his question. Her age was an embarrassing topic for her, being as old as she was while still looking the way she did. And it wasn't because of an angel's lifespan either. She was old, even amongst her kind. She had just stopped growing. Bunny had lost count long ago. "Let's just say I was one of the few to watch Eve hand Adam the apple, and have watched humanity fall ever since."


Soon the vampire left, giving Bunny instructions to bring all her information to him. She wasn't too fond of his attitude with this, but at least he believed her. That was a start. Going to her room to gather everything, she looked toward the clock. Lily said she'd meet her that night, so this meeting with Richter would have to be quick. Still, if it wasn't, she'd have to let the alraune know. So Bunny just wrote a note and left it on her door. "Not here now. Meeting with Mr. Richter. Be back as soon as I can. Sorry."


With that all done, Bunny grabbed her things and made her way to the basement, knocking on Richter's door once she got there.
 
The door creaked open, and Richter dragged a heavy steamer trunk through, locking the door behind him.


"Alright, let's see them." he said, opening the trunk. "I'll take this." he grabbed a handful of papers, "And you hold this for me" he handed the angel a black lacquered cane, topped with a small metal knob.


"Let's see... a lot of murders... varying descriptions, as you said. The MO varies, but is typically.... extremely violent. High body count. Hmmm..." he dug through the trunk, rummaging around old books and papers, and pulled out an oversized revolver from a small case, spinning the cylinder.


"I suppose these papers are some meager evidence against her. But we still need to confirm what she is before we can kill her. Neither of us can really afford killing an innocent student on accident. We'll need to lure her out, somehow. Does she have a favored prey?"

Orion bows his head, respectfully.


"Nice to make your acquaintance, Kylier. As far as anything that isn't on fire is concerned, it's not too much of an issue...because just as I can tame a flame, I can create the flame"


He grins a bit more as he feels the pain in his right hand finally subside.


-That flame is a lot more dangerous than I had anticipated-


"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you, but I have something I need to look into"





Orion begins to make his way back to the building so he can head for the library.





"If you ever do need something burned or have a fire problem, if you ask for my assistance I'll happily lend a hand"





He holds up his left hand as a deep red flame engulfs it for a few moments before swiftly going out.


 
-...-


As far as Kylier is concerned, he appears to be useless beyond playing with fire, but even then it was still something to note, as to further gather the extent of his abilities. With that, she headed off to where she was to go next.
 
Naval turned down another hall seeing a man with the stench of burnt flesh. She sniffed the air before closing her nose and grimacing. She walked up to him stopping him from any further movement forward. She tilted her head and gave a smile before waving. If he had looked down the small girl would have been stepping on the ends of her hair but since it wasn't short she wasn't hurting herself.


"You smell of burnt flesh? Are you perhaps a fire user."


Since the time she had gotten here to now she had never encountered a fire user. Probably due to her being in the library a lot and sleeping on the shelves.
 
Orion stops before the girl blocking his way and grins.


"It would seem only in appearance right now...having an off day"


-Wish I could just get this Phoenix ordeal figured out, I don't know how much longer I can hold out like this-


"Who might you be, little one?
 
"My name is Naval, I would say my full name but that's to long. "


She looked at him with curious eyes as she watched some steam from a top of his head rise upward. She giggled a little before touching his skin. Snapping her hand away she shook her hand a little, a small circle of wind wrapping around her index finger to cool it off.


"Your really hot. How cool! What can you do with it ...the fire thing."
 
Orion was intrigued by the little one and looking at her and talking to her almost seemed to help clear his mind a bit.


"Anything for the most part..."





Using his left hand he snaps his fingers and a tiny reddish-yellow flame hops from his hand to the floor next to the girl and grows into a fiery reflection of her, mimicking her movement.





-A wind user...interesting-


"This is my personal flame, and it's the easiest 1 out 3 to control"


 
"Pretty."


Naval waved her hand toward the fire version of her. She smiled before twirling around and hopping from side to side. Naval then bent down and clapped her hands before tilting her head from side to side.


"Cool...I can't do anything like this. Mine is used more for combat...and the other one is pretty...well primitive I guess. "


She allowed cold wind to cover her hands so she could grab the fire girls hand and twirl around with her.
 
Orion chuckles aloud as the girl amuses herself


"Don't forget that fire can also be extremely dangerous. This is a fun trick I learned when I was young to help pass time and to train"





He can feel normal sensation in his right hand again, and examines it to see that the damage has almost completely gone.





"I have two more flames who are much more violent than this. Have you ever heard of the Phoenix?"


-Why am I talking to this girl about this? I guess it couldn't really hurt...-


"Well I have some of its fire inside me, and I'm not so sure its pleased about that"





He holds up his right hand as a deep red flame swallows it.
