'Um, maybe, Im really not sure,' Michaelys scratches his head.
He looks into the stairwell. " Wow, that's not something that you would see everyday. Do you think that we should try going that way? If Sky flew somewhere, maybe the Library is on the top floor.', looking embarrased he looks once again at the floor.
'I am sorry, maybe you have an idea.' He looks hopefully up to her.

"Nope!" Laura was more cheerful now that she knew she wasn't the only one confused.
"Not a clue... no harm in trying, though, right?"
She looked at the maze of stairs.
"I dunno, um, how about that one? It seems to go more or less straight..."

Glancing at the stair, they all sort of seemed to go the way they wanted, Michaelys says,'You lead and I will follow. Maybe we can beat Sky up their!' Smiling at the thought, Michaelys follows after Laura.

Vyn soared aroung the highest towers and finally embraced his thoughts. He flew towards the library window, hoping no one would see him fly in, if anyone knew he was an angel he would be in huge trouble.

"You know," Laura remarked as they chose yet another random staircase to climb, "maybe Sky is his mage-name, to show he's studied flying. Do you think everyone gets to choose new names when they graduate? I mean, if I want to make a living at this magic stuff, Laura isn't that interesting. If I can control this magic stuff, I could be... well, I could be...
Maybe not. I guess I'm just a Laura."
She stopped to hoist her rucksack further up, not yet giving in enough to put her books away in it.
"I hope he doesn't give up on us. I think we're lost."

Having followed Laura around, and seen how strange the staircase seemed to be, Michaelys was decidedly embarrassed to realize that he didn't know how to go back.
'Does anything have a placard or perhaps a sign or marking along the wall, showing the way? I don't know about you, but it seems like we have been going long enough to have reached at least a landing, or a hallway.' He looks around, 'It looks like there might be a doorway up two more flights.'

Laura looked closely at where Michaelys was pointing.
"You know what? I think that's actually DOWN two more flights. Look at the ceiling... isn't that where we started?"
She shivered a little.
"Don't fly off and leave me here, okay?"
Then she shook her head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be a baby. Let's go!"
She -mounted?- the steps again determinedly.

The gentle patter of rain announced the approach of Sylvia.
"Hello she said to the bewildered looking pair. Are you lost?"
They noted with relief that they were and after introductions she taught them the simple spell that would reveal the hidden runes written on all the walls of the Academy. They both tried the spell (that had to include the place you were trying to get to in it so that only the runes you needed would appear) and marveled as the glowing marks appeared all along the wall to their right (in this case; an open book and an arrow).
"I'm shocked that they didn't teach you this in orientation!"
"I'm on my way to the Library myself, why don't we walk together and you two can tell me about yourselves?"

'That would be good,' Laura said in trepidation. Orientation? Orientation? Had she already missed a class on her very first day here?
She glanced sidelong at Michaelys to make sure he was fine with the new turn things had taken.
'Um, that spell you taught us? It's the first time I've done anything on purpose and had it work. Did you do something to make it easier?'

All I did was believe that you would do it correctly. I'll let you in on a little secret; 90% of all majic is believing you can do it. You both are very talented and bright ......
*Sylvia gazes straight into Laura's eyes and speaks very slowly*
I just believed, very strongly, that you could do it, and you did.
*Sylvia abruptly breaks eye contact and starts walking down the hall again*

Michaelys, realizing he is falling behind, quickly follows behind. Thinking about the long look that the instructor gave to Laura, he shrugged to himself, deciding that it was not his business to be inquisitive.
'Excuse me, do you know a student named Sky? He was leading us to the Library. But, he seems to be more advanced in his lessons than either of us.' Nervous, he glanced back at the stairs he was 'climbing?'

Hum, Sky?  No, I have yet to meet him. Actually, you two are the first new students I've met this year. *Sylvia stops and looks at both of them for a long moment* "I hope you both will consider taking one of my classes, you both have very blue auras which typically work very well with water" *Sylvia is suddenly distracted by what she sees out of the window behind Michaelys and Laura* Do either of you know a boy who flys? ? |

Running over to the window, Michaelys yells out 'Sky!' and waves his hand, trying to get his attention. He watches the others graceful soaring through the air with wide eyes.

Sky notices his friends waving at him with a rather interesting looking figure. he flys up the indow and opens it. He slips through and curls his wings against his back. Magically they vansih from sight and his back looks almost normal. the only strange thing are teh rips in his shirt where the wings came through. "Wow i have a bit of explaining to do... dont i?"

*Sky stares at the mysterious woman and nodded slowly*
"How did you knwo that?"
*Nervously he stepped back then thought she might be a teacher and flashed her his famous smile.*
"Profesor? I presume"

Laura watched it all with wide eyes, still bemused by the revelations of the woman who said she taught classes for people with blue auras.

Yes, Sylvia De Torrent, and you, Mister Hawkins, are the spitting image of your father, who was in many of my classes and he was dating a lovely young lady by the name of Zephyr who was prone to .... shall we say....flights of fancy??
*Sylvia returns Sky's smile with a small smile of her own and waves her had behind his back; repairing his torn shirt*
*The foursome resume their trek to the Library*

Glad to see Sky, and feeling better with him there, although not sure of why it was a comfort. Michaelys glances back at the window. Something he sees there feels menacing and he stops, a cold feeling spreading over his body. More sensing than seeing, Michaelys witnesses something moving, heading in the opposite direction from where the foursome was going.
Shaking his head, he feels the cold leave and decides he must have imagined it and hurries to catch up to the others.

Sky notices his friend shiver, but thinks nothing of it. Amazed at the professor's knowledge of his father he asks. "Do you know what my father was? And what he did?" Thinking back to what he had been asked to do for the school, he couldnt help think he might just be filling his fathers shoes. Sky was a guardian, he was assigned the task of looking over and helping out the students of the school with their problems, no matter what the size. He had gained the second to highest rank of guardian amongst his clan and he was given the honor of protecting humans. He started with nature. Saving small woodland creatures. The highest honor though was being assigned an entire kingdom, which he hoped he would gain the achievment upon graduation from this school. He escaped his memories and looked back at the professor, then at his friend. Although he tripped in his stride when he looked at Laura, that girl had more than a magic spell over him... but he didnt want to admit anything else.
