Hubert stood outside the old mineshaft illusionary barrier. As his old friend Adrien approached, he sighed. without looking behind him, he vocalized his thoughts to acknowledge him. "Took you long enough! come on, they said this was the spot, and I know an illusion when I see it. this is their German entryway."<br/><br/>Without waiting for a reply, and frankly knowing he probably wouldn't get one, he walked straight into the imagery and the mine entrance rippled as he did so. when the two boys emerged on the other side of the barrier, they were greeted with a subway station crowded with dark and light elves, as well as a few demons, tree sprites and fairies of different ages.<br/><br/>"Hey! you two humans shouldn't have been able to get here without disintegrating! What gives?" one of the adults exclaimed when he noticed them. Hubert sighed. "Check the Halfling setting on your damn eyeballs, pops!" he spat at the man. the two were quickly told to go to the subway car and sit down. when they got there several suspicious looks were shot their way, and when the subway took off the two were approached by a Demon with a look that said 'trouble.'<br/><br/>"Hey you two! don't you know this is a no human zone?" He said, malice dripping from his words.<br/><br/>"Didn't they tell you this was also a no idiot zone, or did you sneak in here and actually get past the barrier by some unholy miracle?" Hubert said smiling. This of course pissed off the demon. "You are SO going to wish you hadn't said that, meatbag!" the demon shouted. before a punch could be thrown, the Subway lurched to a stop and the Demon was thrown to the floor. he said several demonic curses as he struggled to go sit down again, his gaze never leaving Hubert and Adrien.<br/><br/>"NOW BOARDING FROM AMERICAN PROVINCE, TREE SPRITE AND FAIRIE DOMINANT RACES. NEXT STOP TO BE IN JAPAN, DEMONS DOMINANT, THEN WE WILL BE STOPPING AT OUR DESTINATION, THE EUROPEAN MAGICAL SCHOOLING DISTRICT. PLEASE USE THE TRANSLATOR BRACELETS YOU RECEIVED WITH YOUR ENTRY LETTERS TO COMMUNICATE. THANK YOU." the subway comm system sounded out.<br/><br/>Hubert waited as the subway car filled with several hundred fairies, as well as a girl who looked like she wasn't a day over ten years old. then when they had gotten situated, several Tree sprites walked in. Again Hubert was surprised to see a regular boy walk into the subway car. "Hey Adrien, you think they're like us?" he asked as the subway lurched forward again.<br/><br/>"Hey, you two!" Hubert said after activating his bracelet. "Care to sit over here?" he motioned to the only empty seats in the subway car, which were mostly due to no one wanting to associate with half-bloods.<br/><br/>__________<br/><br/>At the Japanese station, it was dark out considering the hours that the students were being picked up at. There were no apparent halflings there, but one of the black shadowy figures seemed to gravitate (almost literally) toward the group of kids. Hubert thought he saw a flicker of a human leg for a moment and was going to say something until the figure stepped completely into the light of the train, and a girl about his age flickered into existence. "Nice trick! where'd you learn to do that?" he asked the new arrival to the subway car.<br/><br/>The group was getting weird looks by just about everyone but the Fairies at this point. "So, I assume we all have some sort of messed up past that no one wants to talk about then? fine by me. I'm Hubert, and you all are?"
