Time of Hardship

Vicente looke around "w-who r u"

[who's that directed towards.]

((Nanaki))

"My name's Tanner, and you are very tired as well as injured, and I'm taking you to a pool so you can heal." Tanner has found a pool and slowly lowers Vicente into it and begins to use the water to slowly heal Vicente.

Vicente smiled "thank u Tanner"

Tanner opens his eyes to look at Vicente and tells him, "You're welcome." Then he closes his eyes again before asking, "I haven't seen you before, what's your name?"

"my name is Vicente Valantiri " he held out his hand

Tanner takes the offered hand and shakes it. He then pulls Vicente up and hands him a towel. "I've done all I can, you should expect a little soreness but that should be gone in a day or two." Tanner leaves but turns back just before leaving the pool area, "Oh, and stay safe Vicente."

Vicente looked at him and kept the towel wrapped around him " thank u again" he started to walk to his shack

Matt stood by idly, not having any clue where to go or what to do now, and spoke up a little harsher than he meant. "Hey, where do I go now?" to anyone that would answer.

The smoking husk stands and lumbers towards the school without an aparent aim, disappearing into one of the tutor rooms.
"And that concludes today's lesson," Dacian wheezes, and props himself up on his elbow, "If you spend a lot of time around the school you will find that things like this are quite common, and the only thing seperating the students from the masters, is their control of Magik, besides that, serious injuries arent common or irepairable."
The red headed child from before, reappears and comes to a scittering halt.
"All over?" He whines, rubbing his bruised arm, ",but I only got to fight one person.."

Dacian chuckles and shakes his head.
"You three better hope that that instuctor doesn't remember your faces, and god forbid you end up in his class." the wolf boy adds as he stands up, "I can see such an enemy making things very hard for you."
Thge wolf boy stands and heads off to find Tanner, and see what was so important.
"You can go wherever you want, no rules remember? Just try not to anger any other students, some abuse the lack of dicipline here. Training starts tomorrow, then the real fun starts." he adds to Matt as he leaves.

"Hey Tan-chan!" he yells as he sees the other student, adding in a submissive suffix just to poke his rival a bit.

Tanner raises an eyebrow at the suffix and uses his magic to have the ground swallow him up. He then jumps out of the ground behind Dacian and taps him on the shoulder, "Very funny Dacian."

(when everyone is done. I'll skip to the next day.)

"When you actually need your power, you will be sorry that you wasted it here.." Dacian sighes, in his typical lazy tone, not even struggling to free himself from the ground.
He looks backwards and up at Tanner.
"What do you want Tanner?"

Vicente found his way to his shack and layed on the bed siging closeing his eyes sleeping

Shiro shook his head at this whole thing. "Savages. No better then the ancients." He muttered to himself as he walked off for the garden he had seen.

He gave a grateful wolfish grin to Dacian. "Many thanks sir." he said and started to walk off, but turns at the last second. "You don't happen to have a map of the grounds, do you?" he asked with obvious embarrassment, rare for his nature.

"Yesterday, some of us went out into the forest for some fun, and well, some hunters killed one of us. They said it was an accident, but I saw it. It was a deliberate shot. The headmaster doesn't think that anything will happen, but there are rumors going around town that a group of people are planning to attack the citadel. I don't know if that's true or not, but we have to prepare for a way to get the younger students out if it is." Tanner stares at Dacian for a second, "Can I trust you to get them out if something happens and not stay and fight?"

He overheard them, not meaning to, but his hearing was impeccable. "An attack? When? By whom?" he asked, curious beyond all help by this.

Tanner grabs Nickolas and pulls him close to them and whispers, "Not so loud. Anyways, I haven't been able to find out anything more and the Headmaster just turned me away when I brought him my concerns. Apparently some of the people in the nearby town think that if all the magik-users are dead, then the world will go back to the way it was before the war. Odds are they aren't the only ones." He looks at the two of them before continuing, "Stay safe, and look out for each other and the others, at least for my state of mind." Having said what he wanted to Tanner walks off as he has a class he must attend.

Nick blinked, confused and turned to Dacien. "He is serious, isn't he?" he asked, his look grave.

Shiro sat in the Garden in a meditative state with some vines wrapped around himself. "So the real savages are coming. No good." Shiro said stroking a flower on one of the vines. "Thank you plants for lending me your ears." Shiro said smiling at the flora around him.

Vicente got up and walked out to the garde looking at the flowers thinking of how just that morning he had been the leader of the most powerful gang in the city now he was alone

Just then a flower grew and blossomed at his feet. "Hello there. Some nice power you displayed back there." Shiro said still sitting where he was near the fountain with the vines around him.

" oh thanks...i've had alot of time to practice" he smiled realsing he didnt have his sword with him curseing himself

"Loose something. Ask the plants. Maybe they can find it for you." Shiro said smiling.
