<span style="color: #FF4000">Mrs. Alsanai isn't meaning to treat him like a child. She just is very excited to have him home and happy to see that he had sorted out the issues that had been plaguing him since he turned 15. He seems to be much more at peace with himself and the rest of the world now. She had prayed for his safety during his travels and his return. "Sarah improved her cooking under both Walking Earth and my tutelage," she tells him with a wide smile. <br/></span><br/><span style="color: #FFFF00">"You had a dream catcher?" In Japan dream catchers are rare heard of thing. Unless you go onto one of the US military  bases, where they had heard of them. Strange that Zane had one in the past.<br/></span><br/>*******************************************************************************<br/><span style="color: #40BF00">Around the main court yard of the school multi color paper lanterns hung on thin lines provide dim light as people wait for the sun to truly set. Torches lit by some fire reapers help keep insects away from the food, which is quite generous. Water proof lights had been put into the reaper statue fountain, making the two statues turn different colors. Music is playing in the back ground, a few students and staff already dancing a little bit. <br/><br/>Stella smiled to herself. She can't wait for the real dancing to begin, along with the fireworks later. Everything that needed doing today had been gotten done earlier. Everything seems to be going well for now. Even though the council had objected Stella had argued that the serpentile Azrael could attend the festivities but under heavy supervision. One major slip out and she would be right back where she started.<br/></span><br/><span style="color: #FFFF00">Angela stepped next to her old friend. "You ready to start the party?" It had been a while since they had played a roda. Both of them had decided to do it tonight. They had held of changing in to more festive clothes for something a bit more flame proof. Never in past years had they announced that would be doing a roda, and they don't now. People would catch on eventually.<br/><br/>Together they head to the outdoor training area. The training area is  a huge  circles urrounded for about six feet by rock, ensuring the ground wouldn't catch fire. There are seats for people to come and watch what's going on.  Running through the area are gutters that hold water, along with slots that slabs of stone that could be used by earth elements. <br/><br/>Both women step into the second inner most circle before bowing to each other. Stella and Angela start to each circle each other, reading each other's movements. Angela breaks the tension first, throwing a fiery jab in Stella's direction. <br/><br/>Stella sidesteps, going down to try to take Angela's knees out from under her. Angela dances back, punching fireballs forward to try to drive Stella back. If Stella can get up and use Dim Mac on her, this roda is over before it really begins. Stella quickly springs to her feet, drawing water up to extinguish the fire blasts. </span><br/><br/>Aaron and Nathan had followed Angela and Stella to the stands. Cheering is allowing during these bouts but not shouting out a warning, which is standard manners for this type of thing. Other people heading towards the stands attract the twins.
