Romania, a country known for it's rich food and culture, who's people are hard working and unaware of what lies in their midst...for you see, in this country, in a rather large spot in eastern Transylvania, there sits a school, a boarding school for girls and boys a like, though the name itself wouldn't give that impression...the name of the school, 'Madam Arachne's School of Girls" would leave one to assume it was only for young women seeking an education, but that was far from the truth...for you see, this school was special, in a mystical sort of way. No, there was no boy wizards with scars or anything of the like here, but it was unique in it's own way..something that one could tell just by stepping into the grounds, if you were allowed. The property that the school was on was very exclusionary, and in fact only opened to those that were allowed in by the HeadMistress of the school, otherwise one would simply loop back out...it also helped that the school was located in a very dark, remote forest, one that was said to be haunted and plagued with monsters, something that wasn't entirely wrong.<br/><br/>For you see, this school was very special, because it was a school who's population was composed of mostly monsters, or rather, young monster girls. It was a school where young female monsters could come, and no matter if they were humanoid, or truly horrible, they could receive an education just like anyone else, for after all, aren't the children our future? That was Madam Arachne's view...she was and still is the founder of the school, an old spider-woman who looked not a day over 34 at the very most, and yet she was so much older..she had been there since the school began, and would be there until it closed. Yes, it was a boarding school for girls, and from the appearence on the outside, it seemed to be quite old, with it's stone walls and gargoyles..though some of the gargoyles were actually students simply waiting for night.<br/><br/>Though, moving inside the stone walls that protected those within, one would see a rather modern setting with modern furnishments, couches, chairs, even televisions.....it seemed Madam Arachne loved to keep her school up to date, at the very least, though most cell phones ceased to work on the grounds, leaving communication to the outside world reduced to writing letters, letters which were always censored for any information containing the school. 'But,' you say, 'Who would write about this place? Isn't everyone monsters already?'....yes, it was true that monsters are the main inhabitants of the school, but Madam Arachne also knew very well of a young mosnter girl's need to...feed, so every year, over 100 male, human students are invited to the school to stay and receive a normal education, though their true purpose is to provide sustenance for the girls, who thrive off of sexual energy and fluids.<br/><br/>Today was the start of the school year, and as a spring breeze rolled through, it looked just a dreary and frightening as always, with black clouds over head, and torches lit along the path way leading to the school, where the new male and female students would travel in horse drawn carriages, towards the looming school, where inside they would be met with a warm light and of course, an opening banquet in celebration of a new school year.<br/><br/>For those returning, they were whisked away to the school through a more express system, a lovely bat-ride for those who could not already fly to the school that would drop them off onto the second floor observatory, though the school stretched up many more floors than that..it was said there were dark secrets in the school, and some of the older girls claimed to know them all, but no one, save Madam Arachne herself, could say what was lurking in the darker corners of the school, but many students were forbidden from going to the very top levels unless accompanied by a teacher, because of the danger from them.<br/><br/>So, now is the time that the new school year begins, and now is the time that adventure and mischief starts. As new students arrive, older students look on, waiting to see what the new arrivals looked like, and who they would be paired to room with...with co-ed dorms, you could be sure that a potential source of food was always ready, something that Madam Arachne had instituted for that very reason. She smiled to herself as she watched the new arrivals through her own network of small spies, spiders that had been sent through the school and the forests, monitoring the new and old arrivals to make sure there was no trouble.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</strong></div><br/><div align="center"><strong>Hitomi<br/>Second floor, Roost.</strong></div><br/>A soft sigh escaped the lips of a stony young girl as she rode through the air on a giant bat, approaching the place where she would be for the next year, Madam Arachne's School of Girls....it was a nice school, to be sure, but it was still a sad arrival...Hitomi would be here alone once again...it seemed like every time she got close to someone, they always graduated...last year it was Bill, then the year before that was Steve...the young 17 year old shook her head and decided to smile. "Oh well..even if I'm alone again, that doesn't mean I can't find someone new." Hitomi said to herself while petting the large bat she was riding, who squeaked in response. They were approaching the school, and she could see it looming before her, a black mass on an already black sky..it was so intimidating from the outside, with the ivy on the outside and the towering school building...it was hard to believe that inside was a warmth that one rarely saw, almost like the warm embrace of a loved one...it was a warm and familiar thing, coming to the school, and she coudn't help but smile and brush a lock of hair out from in front of her eyes, her claws folded back to reveal her soft hands.<br/><br/>Her piercing blue eyes spied the roost of the school, where the bats were known to live and sleep, and she smiled softly as she hugged into the bat a bit tighter as they came into the building and landed. Hitomi jumped down and patted his side, giving him a rather large centipede as a treat for such a good job...scratching her side, she smiled softly, tail moving back and forth..Hitomi was a golem, a rather unique one as well..for she could think for herself, because of how her runes were written, which meant that she could also learn, thus why she was at the school to begin with. Hitomi looked around, seeing that she was the first arrival, and wondered when the other girls would get there..though her main concern, of course, was the boys...she wondered when they would arrive, and what the new arrivals would look like..she would certainly have to zero in on one in particular for this year, though it would probably be her room mate, whoever that was.
