Cassy sighed as she followed the rest back to the dorms. The place was already starting to feel a little unorganized and unguided. A paper on the first day of school? She didn't even know her way around or what the principal's name was yet! She had expected an assembly, or at the very least, a speech of some sort welcoming them to the place, a little background or some rules, but to be put to work right away? She paused for a moment, then continued on as she realized something. Perhaps this was such a strict place who took their education so seriously, that they didn't have time to coddle them and make them feel comfortable. This school was going to be harsh and Cassandra sneered a bit as excitement grew in her mind.<br/><br/>Back in the common room of their wing of the dorm, they sat around on the couch and the group began studying or writing, trying to fulfill their first assignment. Nature magic, the control over life itself. Cassy was primarily a light only user, but she did have her own garden at home, opting to grow her plants the old fashioned way, manually without magic. It's not that she hadn't tried. There was a two hundred pound pumpkin in the corner of her garden that grew almost as big as her when she used magic to help it grow, and using light magic, her plants grew twice as healthy when she bathed them in her magical light. However, Nature magic was more like controlling the growth directly, having the plants move to your will or making trees grow from nothing but the ground. She was sure some of the others in their group were more proficient, but her's was a different way to do it.<br/><br/>She opened her purse again and pulled out a notebook, stretching the mouth of the small purse as far as it could go, then pulled out, oddly, a small bottle of ink and a long, feathery quill. It was an oddity among the rest who had regular pens but she thought nothing of it as she dipped her pen in the inkwell and started writing, a cheerful tune humming as she wrote.
