A young virdian haired man stood out on the cliffs overlooking Eden, things seemed quiet for the time being with no sign of Grimm activity or any fighting in the streets...strange but it was welcome. "A New year begins for the children of Pyre. Ever aiming to ascend higher" he spoke to himself with a calm tone. The breeze wrapped him as his long hair danced along with it, moving his right arm in the direction of the breeze before closing his eyes "New beginnings blow upon this land, so easily crushed by mans own hand". A single white feather flicked from his hip to join the air in its turbulent circles to take on a life of its own and travel over the walls and roofs of the academy.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>A large winged airship landed on the platforms to the east of the academy, bringing in the new students of the year as returning students were busy preparing dorms and assisting the teachers with duties. Umi stepped out in wonderment as she wheeled a large blue suitcase behind her, it seemed much more beautiful here then the cold, metallic buildings in Atlas. People certainly seemed more 'normal' at least instead of saluting and always standing to attention....happens when government, military and schools are all rolled into one. She walked forward as her leafy green eyes caught sight of a white feather flutting down, forgetting that other students were around her.
