Fantasy War of the Magi [Open]

[ShinyEve]

If you are reading this letter, then congratulations. You've been accepted into the Magi Arcane Academy. Please find attached the two maps of the location of the Academy, and if you cannot make it to the Academy then please go to the second location. The large field will be our meeting place for all students who cannot fly or reach the Academy in any way. However, any student is free to go to the meeting location to meet and greet fellow students. There, I, Headmistress Lady Red, along with Assistant Headmistress Grace, shall meet you all personally and take up all to the Academy. I look forward to seeing all the students there. For those who can get to the Academy themselves and do not wish to go to the meeting location, please head straight to the Grand Hall once you have arrived.

Note: Please try to stay discreet until you arrive at Academy Grounds.​

Prince Ali Sekhemi

Sekhemi looked at the lowly peasant who read the letter to him, staring at him with his cold, dead eyes. Sure, it wasn't really a peasant but that was what he called all of his royal guards. Nothing but mere tools to be used in his ultimate goal. The man spoke once more as he slowly stood back a little.

"So, Prince Ali Sekhemi, when do you plan on going to the Grand Hall? You can fly, after all."

Sekhemi's fingers twitched repeatedly as he stared at the man in front of him. He didn't say a word, all he did was chuckle a little. Suddenly, the royal guard caught on fire and began to scream and shout while the flames burned him alive. Within a matter of minutes the guard that was there became nothing but ash.

"You lowly, good-for-nothing peasant. I shall not fly, it is far too much effort for a Pharaoh!"

He clicked his fingers, and suddenly, a few guards came. They cleared out the dust then the guards picked Sekhemi up and took him outside. They placed him and his throne on the elephant's back then, and with that, Sekhemi and his lowlife peasant guards set off to the meeting point where he would meet these Headmistresses.

Pozuzy

Pozuzy read the letter carefully and with a small giggle, burned it to ash with his black fire. He then teleported to the meeting location immediately using his sin magic and looked around, so far, nobody was here which was perfect for him. He didn't want to miss a thing. There would be plenty of chances to play tricks on others here, plenty of chances to have fun. He couldn't wait! Once again, he took a look around before using magic to shroud himself in darkness, turning himself invisible.

Green

Green flew swayingly towards the meeting place. He couldn't fly all the way up to the island, his wings weren't strong enough to carry him. Besides he didn't want to. He wanted to meet as many friends as he could. He liked making new friends. It didn't take him long to arrive. When he did he looked around slowly. This place was huge! Green flew around joyfully calling out. He finally landed on a tree branch gently. He couldn't wait to start meeting new people and making friends. His wings were nice and folded, he waited. There was nobody else here yet so there was nothing he could really do.

Saber

Saber was already on his way to the meeting spot. He flew quickly going full speed ahead until he arrived. Once he did, he looked on at who was there currently, which just turned out to be a small green dragon. He sat down and used his familiar magic to summon a satual. He opened it up and pulled out his student diary. Saber began to read it, looking at the maps of the island while he leaned against a tree.

Manta

Manta flew gently with Neptune flying beside him, using his water magic to propel him. It didn't take long for them to get to the meeting spot. Once there, Manta called out loud for everyone to hear, making inaudible sounds. Manta landed gently with Neptune. Manta looked around the field, seeing that there weren't many here yet. For now, he wanted to see who would arrive.

He wanted to see who he could play with. He cast out his senses, closing his eyes. His feelers gently moved in the wind as he did. While he used his psionic senses, Manta waited. Neptune simply coiled around Manta while he left himself vulnerable, watching the field with his eyes while Manta used his senses

Cherry

Cherry read the letter and sighed softly. "Crimson, can't you get me there directly?" Crimson gave her a gentle nod as he flew in front of her. "I could, yes but I want you to go to the meeting spot. It could be the perfect chance to find somebody who can help you. Besides. Grace will be there. It will be polite to greet her early." Chery sighed again before nodding in acknowledgement. "Fine, but I'm not rushing. I just hope nothing goes wrong." Crimson landed on her head gently, and then Cherry began to walk at a slow pace. The location wasn't too far away, so a nice walk would give everyone else plenty of time to arrive.

Emperor Draco

Today was the day that the students would arrive. He knew of five dragons that would be joining the academy as students. Being their Emperor, Draco wanted to personally greet them himself. So he opened his wings wide and jumped down off the floating islands towards the meeting place. Then, when he got closer to the ground, he created huge gusts of wind with his wings as he landed. He looked around at the students who had already arrived, and his eyes stopped on Green, who was the youngest dragon that was joining the academy in physical age due to his slow growth rate and long life span. For now, he stayed in the back, watching the students and waiting for the other dragons to arrive. His huge stature and his regal air around him commanded respect and showed authority.

Kodoku floated through a portal it opened to the meeting grounds. It considered going to the academy directly, but every time it opened a portal to the academy it didn't find much in the way of company there. The gathering spot at least had a few others to be with. It wanted to pet the little dragon, but it restrained itself. Unwanted contact could cause retaliation and that would be unfortunate. Similarly, Manta looked like it would have an interesting texture. While Manta didn't seem to have teeth or claws to worry about like Green did, there was still the risk of the souring of relations and social retaliation. It might not get a tentacle bitten off for touch Manta, but it still wasn't without risk.

Stuffy had ridden through the portal with Kodoku and dropped to the ground afterward knowing its master would pick it up again if they needed to go somewhere. They were fairly good about that. Kodoku might not be the best person, but they valued Stuffy and that went a long way to ensuring that they treated Stuffy well. Kodoku largely just floated there rotating to look around and appraise the other people there and the environment. While they might look placid from the outside their mind was indeed full of thoughts of the fun they could have with the others. Potentially of note to Manta, is that Kodoku would likely fall into the category of "creatures willing to play". It might need instruction on the rules of game, and might not have the purest or kindest thoughts, but there was something to be said for the second thought over the first. People can have bad thoughts, but restraining themselves from acting on those impulses wasn't nothing.

Cerralei proudly walked through the portal to the meeting place first, Roasty Toasty perched on her shoulder. Andalm followed behind her, and Nei behind him. Andalm turned to his sister. "Remember, some of the most ancient beings on our world are gathered here, so you should be mindful and show some respect." Cerralei gave an exaggerated sigh. "Fine, Andalm! I'll always keep in mind that they're better than me and bow to them and start all my sentences with, 'Your most magnificent honorable gracious lordiness'." Roasty Toasty gave a strange trill which sounded almost like laughter. Andalm's face was stern. "I'm serious, Cerralei." Then he began to walk toward the others. Cerralei began to walk as well. Though she'd never admit it, it was apparent that she was exercising some caution as well; normally, she didn't walk so much as bounce or skip or run.

Kodoku noticed the portal that the two very human looking creatures used and had to admit to some jealousy. While it held no illusions that it would be the only one at the school capable of such things, it was slightly disappointing that even the "young" ones seemed to be better at it than Kodoku was. Admittedly, it hadn't tried very hard, but it was sort of like the first day of college and suddenly finding out that your high school really sucked and everyone else was on track to doctorates while you would be in remedial classes. It looked at them briefly and considered opening a portal to say something to them, but decided against it. They would just make fun of its smaller portal and blow it off for one of the more ancient and more powerful creatures to hang out with here. Who wouldn't be impressed with the giant dragon or any of the other creatures that were here? No point in making the first overtures to socialize only to get shot down because they were too good for them. Maybe, at some point, it would find other students who were more on its level and be able to start there. Maybe, at some point, it would grow to be on the level of the other students. Who knew what one could become when one put in the effort? For now it just watched them the same way it watched the others that had arrived.
