This is called the Mark of Chains. I'm applying it today, but you will put this on every day on your way up to class. You'll find the can of paint here each time. Apply it to every limb.  The mark adds considerable weight to your limbs, making you work to move. Don't worry, demons and monsters, it will add more for the supernaturally strong among you. Don't worry, it will wear off after class ends.  And yes, you must apply it to every limb. Or tail. As the case may be."<br/><br/>At those last words, Zaara quickly launched all six blades at six of the targets on the other side of the practice arena.  *Shuck-Shuck-Shuck-Shuck-Shuck-Shuck*  All six blades flew nearly 150ft and lodged themselves into the bullseyes of each target.  Easily two thirds of the length of each blade were embedded in each target.  When the last blade stopped flying, he turned and yelled out, "WHAT?!?!"<br/><br/>Before he could say anything, there was a blur around him and all eight of his limbs were marked in the paint.  One moment he was standing straight up, the next, he was face-first on the ground.  As she continued marking the students one by one, Zaara tried moving his limbs.  After about a minute, he concluded that the weight of his limbs totaled at about 300lbs.  That was nearly double his original weight place on top of his original weight!  In total, he weighed nearly 500lbs.  This was such a drag.<br/><br/>Zaara watched as few students were moving and those that were were the ones best able to balance their bodies.  Sparx looked like he was having similar difficulties as he was, though he only had half the limbs he did and, as human, carried less weight than he.  Zaara shook his head and stabilized himself on all six arms and both legs.  Zaara was a spider afterall, so why not balance his weight evenly and move like one?  With that, he took off as fast as he could scramble.  That was where he had an advantage over the others.  Despite the increased weight he had to carry, he had the ability to move like an actual spider.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before he managed to catch up to Henrik, not surpass him, but at least keep pace.  He was about three or four feet behind him and to his left.  "Hey, Henrik, right?  You're no ordinary human, are ya?"
