				Since as far back as records show, people have feared those with magic.&nbsp; After centuries of public exacutations, those who had managed to stay hidden realised that sooner, rather than later, they too would meet the end of a noose or the warmth of a fire from the wrong side.&nbsp; Not wishing to see their crafts and knowledge destroyed, or being burned to a crisp, they came together and set about the creation of the the white castle: a school and home for all of those who weild magic away from the prying eyes of mortals.<br><br>The counsel of elders have over seen the expansion and teaching of the students since its' doors first opened, as well as the creations of several other castles to house extended families, and watching the rest of the human population for those born with the gift.&nbsp; Knowing that such children would face undo ends simply because they have a talent, the elders spirit them away once they are found, raising them with other youngsters and not telling them about their true heritage until they reach their late teens.&nbsp; And so this has gone on for ages, and shall go on for ages more, humanity seperated between those with and those without magic.

				Atara padded through the forest heading for what would be her new home. She'd become an outcast among the rest of the world and had finally chosen to go into hiding when she learned of the White Castle. She was unsure of herself, only knowing heartache and abuse at every turn. Her tail and whiskers twitched as her senses became alive with the hint of magic ahead. <br><br>Would they accept her as one of their own, she had to wonder. The trees opened up into a clearing and she stopped, settling back on her haunches while she observed the castle in the distance, the light of the sun shining down, warming her dark fur.<br><br>(note: She's a panther, originally was thinking wolf but felt the need for a change)

				Hennet stood outside with several other classmates, waiting for the new arrivials.&nbsp; The feel of the gound under his feet was nice but not something her longed for, being a wind mage and all.<br>"Must you kiss the ground Veit?&nbsp; Isn't the gardens in the castle enough?"&nbsp; He asked the man kneeing on the ground.<br><br>"Not all of us like to have our heads in the clouds Hennet.&nbsp; Some of us prefer to feel hard unmoving land under our feet."&nbsp; Another said.<br><br>"Or to be submerged in the ocean dephts."&nbsp; Added a third.<br><br>"Whatever.&nbsp; I can't wait till we get back into the air.&nbsp; The grounds nice and all but I'll take flying threw the clouds over sitting on some rocks, laying down in a bonfire or playing hind and seek with the fish."&nbsp; Hennet replied letting out a sigh.<br><br>"Why did you come on meet and greet Hennet if you care not for the plant life?"&nbsp; Veit asked having returned to his feet.<br><br>"One, I never said that I don't care about the plant life.&nbsp; I just don't like being down here, on the planet.&nbsp; And two, I need the extra credit if I'm going to get into the advance classes."&nbsp; Hennet replied.<br><br>"You just need the extra credit?&nbsp; My grades are way too low to even think about advanced courses."<br><br>"Perhaps if you stopping hitting on every girl at the school, your overall marks would stand higher Raze."<br><br>"And you could stand to stop weeping over your ex. Manthis.&nbsp; It's a good thing I sleep on air.&nbsp; You soaked the entire bottom half of the room last night!"<br>

				Atara stood and shook the dust from her fur as she padded towards the castle. She could make out figures standing before the moat and wondered who they were. She was nervous about this whole thing but had hidden it well. About halfway across the clearing she shifted to human form, her skin pale, her hair, long and black, trailing down her back to behind her knees in a ponytail. <br><br>Her movements graceful as the beast she had been but a few seconds ago, but her heart beneath her ribs beating hard as she approached the group of what appeared to be students cautiously.

				Raze was the first to notice Atara step forward from the trees, he could smell a woman a mile away.<br><br>"Hello there beautiful."&nbsp; He said, pouring on his charm.<br><br>"Would you please stop thinking with your firery limbido and think with that firery head of yours Raze."&nbsp; Hennet stated, pulling at his shirt to keep him from rushing to her side.<br>"If you'll excuse my friend for being...overly friendly, I'm sure that we can be of some assistance to you."&nbsp; Hennet added, stepping forward to speak to Atara.

				Atara shook her head as she approached the group and Raze stepped forward. Her nose immediately heading skyward. She grumbled something and turned to Hennet. <em>"Can you could assist me in finding out where I must go to get admitted to the castle?"</em> She glanced at the others around her and then back to Hennet.

				"Yes actually, I'll take you there myself."&nbsp; Hennet replied, cutting Raze off before he had the chance to speak.<br>"Most of the new arrivals are already inside and have been given the tours.&nbsp; We'll be leaving soon, so please don't mind the turbalance."&nbsp; He added, waiting to escort her inside.

				"Well, I don't know about being <em>settled.</em>&nbsp; The ground isn't a big deal for me, but we hear try to make things comfortable.&nbsp; But even then it might take some time.&nbsp; Just a heads up, you <em>will</em> be assulted with like a hundren questions.&nbsp; The counsel likes to know as much about the people who stay here as possible, mostly to ensure that you don't end up with roommates who are completely uncompatible."&nbsp; Hennet said as they moved threw gardens and streets to a round dome building.<br>"Sorry I don't have the time to show you around throughly, but you'll want to be inside for your first take off."

				"Just show me where to go. I'll figure out the rest when the time comes." Maybe she'd find a home here, maybe she wouldn't, time would tell though and that was one thing she seemed to have right now. "Tell me about the others who are here already?"

				They entered the building, pushing past the guards at the entrance.<br>"New mages, all of them.&nbsp; Getting set up for classes and so on.&nbsp; As varied in as many ways as there are to list them.&nbsp; The only common factor is the fear of being left on the surface with the rest of mankind.&nbsp; You'll have time to ask more questions after the interview is over."&nbsp; Hennet replied as the room went black and a single light shone down in the center of the room.<br>"It's for you."&nbsp; He added, motioning for her to walk into the light.

				Atara frowned at the questions. For one she'd been moving from place to place so where she came from was as much a mystery to her as anyone. She could shapeshift but didn't know of any other powers and if there were some she was unaware of them. With a sigh she spoke. Keeping her eyes on where the light met the floor in front of her.<br><br>"My name is Atara, I am able to shapeshift, currently that is all I know I can do. Where I come from, heck if I know. I haven't had a place to call home in too long. And I heard of the castle about a month ago and have been trying to get here ever since."<br><br>She grew silent and closed her eyes and waited for the verdict. Would she pass and be allowed to stay and if not, what would happen to her.

				"Untrained, on the run, no place to call home and afraid that we'll kick you out.&nbsp; Yep, you'll fit in easily."&nbsp; Said the voice, the sound of scribbling could be heard for a moment before he spoke again.<br>"Seeing as you have no idea what other powers you may posess, having a mentor might prove best.&nbsp; Hennet, the jobs yours."

				Hennet was quick to step forward, but not for the reason she thought.<br>"Whoa!&nbsp; I'm trying to go for advance classes, not mentorship!"&nbsp; He said, not really angry, more annoyed that he told and not asked.<br><br>"You will have plently of time after Atara has fully settled in."&nbsp; A female voice replied.<br><br>"Yeah, but in the mean time the two of us will have to share the same room!&nbsp; People are going to talk about this!"<br><br>"We shall explain the situation to everyone.&nbsp; Plus, you need a new room until we can drain the other one."<br><br>"Or flood it completely and have two water breathers there."&nbsp; Another male voice bellowed from nowhere.<br><br>"But what about-"<br><br>"The discussion is over Hennet."&nbsp; Said the female as the light in the center went out and the entire place light up, leaving the two of them alone in a large empty room.&nbsp; Hennet let out a long sigh and rubbed his eyes before turning back to speak Atara.<br>"Well, it could be worse.&nbsp; Raze could be your mentor."&nbsp; He said with a slight laugh.

				Atara stood near Hennet and frowned. "Hey if you have a problem with me staying I can go." It wasn't like she hadn't been on her own a lot lately anyway. She turned and stalked out of the room, heading for where she didn't know nor did she care at the moment.

				Hennet quickly took off after her, not allowing her out of his sight.<br>"Hold up there!&nbsp; One wondering around the city isn't a great idea.&nbsp; You will get lost.&nbsp; Trust me on that.&nbsp; Two, if the counsel says that the two of us are to share living quarters, then me share living quarters.&nbsp; It's not that I have a problem with you, it's that people like to gossip.&nbsp; And a new arrival and a senior student sharing a room together makes for some good talk."&nbsp; He said, walking behind her.

				"There is no <em>have</em> to talk.&nbsp; We <em>will</em> be talking.&nbsp; Hundreds of questions, not to mention your training.&nbsp; That's why mentors are usually gender specific: males and females kept seperate so no problems arise.&nbsp; Also, new arrivals are kept away from the elder students so as not to be bullied on.&nbsp; As for where our bunk is,"&nbsp; Hennet paused and moved to the side so she could see where he was pointing, "see that big white building over there?&nbsp; Well, we get a whole floor to ourselves."

His body flying backwards. It didn't take long for him to retaliate and send a blast of red hot flame straight for her. <br><br>She side stepped easily and blasted him again only to miss when he moved quicky in her direction, darkness enveloping the two and when it clears again the sight which meets Hennet is not a good one.
