The classroom was large and lined with rows of high top tables and stools. Each of the tables had mini cauldrons for practicing potions and incantations. In the middle of the room was a large Calderon, the scene was straight from any old tale of a witch.<br/><br/>The back wall had two massive windows that spanned from ceiling to floor. The top half depicted scenes in stained glass. Heavy velvet curtains hung on each side of the panes. The light was perfect at this time of the day. Shining through casting glowing rays along the opposite wall.<br/><br/>In the middle of the room stood Rhen and a new arrival, Libby. Libby was a young girl who was dressed in distressed clothing. It was apparent that she had lived on the streets for some time. She shared with Rhen that her family tossed her out and she just recently learned about Serpents Gate.<br/><br/>Rhen and Libby were standing over the main cauldron  watching the fog roll out in heavy puffs. A dim blue light came from the middle of it all. Libby was showing Rhen what she knew.. or what she thought she knew. Rhen could tell that the young girl sill had a lot to learn including how to control the power she possessed. Libby was almost finished, she had done a fine job up to point. She grabbed the frogs breath which was the final ingredient, “Only a pinch,” Rhens caution came to late.<br/><br/>The moment the breath mixed in the dim blue light turned purple, then black before exploding. A loud bang echoed off the walls and certainly through the house. Black smoke filled the room and goo covered spots across the room.<br/><br/>Rhen laughed, the explosion wasn’t harmful, just a messy nuisance. Libby looked at her confused, “Child we’ve all messed up once or twice.” Rhen was reassuring and warm.<br/><br/>She turned her head when Nadia came running into the room. “Good Day Nadia, cooking the kitchen again?” She smiled wiping her hands down her long skirt trying to clean it. “You can relax, our visitor here just mixed a little too much frogs breath into the pot.” She appreciated Nadia’s alert personality.
