Regardless each of you finds yourself waiting at the edge of the water for a ferry to the famed Draighionn Academy. Known as one of the finest institutions in Ireland, for higher learning. Those who graduate are eagerly sought after in their respective fields, leading to lucrative careers.<br/><br/>You see a variety of young people waiting with their suitcases lined up as the ferry moves across the water, and finally pulls up alongside of the shore. As the gate onto the ferry opens you are ushered on board your bags collected and you guided to seats. The loading of the ferry takes nearly 30 minutes before all are seated, and the ferry gates closed. As the ferry pulls away leading to the island institution.<br/><br/>The ride is not overly long through the deep waters of the channel surrounding the island making it night impossible to swim the distance between the island and shore. As the ferry docks once more you are met by a young man who introduces himself as Thomas. He explains that you will all be heading to the Auditorium to meet with the Headmaster and his wife prior to making your way to your provided rooms where your luggage will be waiting. Leading you up a cobblestone path lined with a low stone wall that looks to be hundreds if not thousands of years old, but is extremely well maintained.<br/><br/>After several minutes you approach the looming castle and large double doors swing open, Thomas leading you inside and to the Auditorium, where you are urged to find a seat to await the arrival of the headmaster. The auditorium is immaculate looking like a fine theater from Broadway. Large vaulted fresco ceilings and a beautiful stage with red curtains. There are plenty of seats for you to choose from as you enter near the front of the Auditorium the seats in the rear blocked off.<br/><br/>As you all find seats and the noise begins to die down, a man looking to be in his late twenties walks out onto the stage holding hands with a woman who looks about the same age as most of you. She has long beautiful light red hair. Stopping in the center of the stage he turns to face you all smiling widely.<br/><br/>“Good Morning and Welcome to Draighionn Academy, my name is Arden Marthelion and this is my beautiful wife Sasha. We are the schools Headmaster and Headmistress. Each of you will have an opportunity to meet with us in person should you choose to do so after our basic introduction.
